the advanced layout editor appears to break the single post such that it does not display the author/date/ etc settings, nor does it display related entries, nor does it display excepts in other blog elements on the site.
Any ideas?
Hey thanp73,
Advanced Layout Builder allows you to have full control over the page, so if it is enabled the default layout of a single post which consists of the things you have mentioned would definitely be overriden.
Best regards,
Nikkohow would I re- enable the excerpt so that it’s shown elsewhere on the site (on category and other places where I have a blog enabled) and also how to I re enable related posts to be shown on a blog post that is composed using the ALB? I can see I can place the comments and share buttons sections from content elements, but can’t see how to turn those blog elements back on.
thx
bump-
Please assist, I would like to make it so that the excerpt appears in blog post content elements elsewhere on my site, and on the categories pages, etc, and this is broken when the advanced layout editor is utilized on a single post. same goes wit theh native related posts functionality, which appears to be broken by the use of the ALBhow then to re enable these functions? it’s not one of the elements within the advanced layout editor that I can see.
Hi,
When using the Layout Builder for posts they will act like a page, any content you would like on the post you will have to add manually. If you want the “default” items on the posts created with the builder the easiest option would be to switch to the default editor once you are ready to save and they should appear automatically.
Best regards,
RikardThanks- the default item of comment and related entries do appear, however when the post is pulled into a post widget or archive page elsewhere in the site, there is no excerpt appearing for posts made using any avia shortcodes. even when re-saved after building the post with the advanced editor disabled.
When I delete the avia shortcodes (undo the custom build elements) the excerpt re appears in the archive pages.
My goal is rather simple on posts- I want to use some simple ALB blocks to put videos and elements in posts, rather than doing it all in one post, but when doing so, I lose the excerpt of this beautifully created post…
Pls assist, links to site in private content below.
I think there is probably something simple blocking the display of excerpts when the page content has [avia] stuff in it
Hi,
Ok, maybe you could try sticking to the default editor and using the Magic Wand tool instead? http://imgur.com/GReRtrs (last icon on the top row).
If you need to set the Excerpt when using the Layout Builder then please click Screen Option in the top right hand corner of your screens on the edit page and select to show it there.
Best regards,
Rikardthanks very much- I was unaware of the ‘excerpt ‘ tick box. I was able to put an excerpt in there on posts composed with the ALB editor, and that appears on blog post widgets and archive pages now- thanks.
So the resolution is this :
if you want to use the ALB on a post, use it, compose the whole thing, and manually write an excerpt. if you want the blog elements – related posts, comment, title, author, date, etc- you must then re save with the default editor after.
Here’ a hitch however- the ALB editor items like color section that go full width do NOT work when you re- save with the default editor- it crams that color bar into the post body, and does not go full width. Seems like a bug..
What I was trying to do is use ALB to create a full width centered video over a post, and have it behave like a post, but it can’t be done.
