Blog Page – Post category and Date not displaying

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the login token. I’m not sure exactly what you have done with the blog page, since it doesn’t exist anymore. If you are doing your setting under Enfold->Blog Layout, then those settings will only apply to the page which you have select to show your blog on in the theme options. If you have created the blog page yourself, with an element from the Layout Builder, then you can set the layout in the element options.

Best regards,
Rikard

Hi,
Thank you for your patience, and for the login, the date & categories are not showing because the font color is the same as the background color, white.
Please try this code in the General Styling > Quick CSS field or in the WordPress > Customize > Additional CSS field:

#top #main .slide-meta,
#top #main .minor-meta,
#top #main .minor-meta a {
	color: #000;
}

After applying the css, please clear your browser cache and check.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Glad this helped, the read more sector is .read-more-link yours are currently using this css:

.html_elegant-blog .avia-content-slider .read-more-link {
    top: 18px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}

try adjusting the top to tighten up.
For the post excerpts, it looks like you are using the Advanced Layout Builder for your posts, so you will need to manually add your excerpts, to do so you may need to enable the Excerpt Option in the Screen Options which will give you a text area below your post area.


For your category pages you can make adjustments with css, but you can also change the layout with this function:

add_filter('avf_blog_style','avia_change_category_blog_layout', 10, 2); 
function avia_change_category_blog_layout($layout, $context){
if($context == 'archive') $layout = 'single-small';
return $layout;
}

please note this line: $layout = ‘single-small’; this will give you the single-small layout, you can try these different layouts:
single-small
single-big
blog-grid
bloglist-excerpt
This overrides the theme blog layouts from the options page only for the archive pages, typically you would choose a Blog Styling layout such as Modern Business, Elegant, or Default (Business) and it would also apply to your archive pages, but some people like to use something different.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
To target the date text you could use .date-container but the text is already as far left as possible so I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve. This css with change the date red to show an example of the target selector:

#top.archive.category #main .post-entry .date-container {
	color: red;
}

To hide the author text:

#top.archive.category #main .post-entry .blog-author {
	display: none;
}

I don’t see an excerpt to hide so I don’t know if you also want the read-more to be hidden, but you can try this:

#top.archive.category #main .post-entry .entry-content {
	display: none;
}

Best regards,
Mike
