Blog page/post issues

Hey hbourdillon,
Q1: (i,ii,iv): Please try this code in the General Styling > Quick CSS field:

#top.page .text-sep.text-sep-date,#top.page .post_delimiter,#top.page .slide-meta-comments {
display:none !important;
}

Q1: (iii): I believe that you are using the advanced layout builder for your blog post, in which case you will need to add your excerpt manually. To enable the manual excerpt field click “screen options” at the top of your page, then check the excerpt box. Then the “excerpt” field will appear at the bottom of the page.

Q2: (i): since I believe you are using the advanced layout builder for your posts you will need to add the “post published” shortcode. Try adding this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

/*post date shortcode - [post_published] */
function shortcode_post_published_date(){
	return get_the_date();
   }
   add_shortcode( 'post_published', 'shortcode_post_published_date' );

and then add this shortcode in a code block element to your post where you want the date to show:

[post_published]

To justify your content for your site, Please try this code in the General Styling > Quick CSS field:

p {
    text-align: justify !important; 
}

Then Please clear your browser cache and check.
If this doesn’t fully work, then add the code in the WordPress > Customize > Additional CSS field.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
I would like to recommend another way to target the blog content so it’s justified. I imagine this is your goal, if not then please advise.
First please go to the setting: Enfold Theme Options > Layout Builder > Show element options for developers and enable the option.
Then in your post, that you are creating with the advanced layout builder, the text block that is going to be your content that you want justified, enter this in the custom class field: justify-text

Then add this css in to your Enfold Theme Options > General Styling > Quick CSS field

.justify-text p {
text-align: justify !important; 
}

You will be able to add justify-text to as many elements as you like, and it will only effect the elements you wish.
To adjust the date shortcode, please add the custom class date-code in the custom css field of the code block element, and add this css to your Quick CSS:

.date-code {font-size: 12px !important;}

please adjust to suit.

To show post views, please try a plugin such as: Post Views Counter, I have not tried this one, but there are many to choose from.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Please change your date-code css to this:

.date-code {
    font-size: 18px !important;
    text-align:center !important; 
}

Please ensure to add the closing bracket, I forgot to add it above.

Best regards,
Mike
