Questions about post displays- excerpt and category

[cd690767]

Hi,

I’m trying to set up my posts page and I can’t get it completely as I’d like:

1- The excerpt (from the excerpt box in post edit screen) is only displaying in the “standard” format- how can I display it in the “grid masonry” and “small left thumbnail” format?

2- I’d like to move the display of the category to above the title-particularly for “grid masonry” and “small left thumbnail”- can this be done?

Thanks for the help,

Cathy

Hi Radu,

Thanks for the help with this! I’ve attached some jpegs of one of my posts with notes to show what I’m referring to.

1- All I want to do is display the excerpt for all three of the post types on the blog page (not using a posts shortcode within a VC element)- right now it only displays for the standard post format.

2- I’ve attached a pic of showing how I would like to move the category to above the post title.

Cathy

Hi Radu,

Thanks for the help with this!

I don’t know what XAMPP/htdocs is, so I put the files in /wp-content/themes/page-parts/kleo-child. When put there, they almost work, but not completely. The excerpt is not displayed. For the categories, they are duplicated, not moved, above the title, and spacing is off (category 1,category 2) compared with spacing of the category list below the title (category 1,(space)category 2).
Also, with the masonry format, the categories above the title extend beyond the border of the post box. With the small thumbnail format the categories look great above the title.

I’ve attached a picture of the new blog page with masonry format so you can see what I’m referring to.

Regards,
Cathy

Sorry, I put them in /wp-content/themes/kleo-child/page-parts not in /wp-content/themes/page-parts/kleo-child.

Hi,

Just open the files from /wp-content/themes/kleo-child/page-parts and look for this line

COPY CODE

<small class="meta-category"><?php echo get_the_category_list(',');?></small>

and add a space there after the ,

Example

COPY CODE

<small class="meta-category"><?php echo get_the_category_list(', ');?></small>

Then you should de-activate the category info from wp-admin -> theme options -> blog (see screenshot)

Let me know

Hi Radu,

Thanks so much for the help- categories look great now! About the excerpt- can it be displayed or is that not possible with the masonry and left thumbnail formats?

Thanks

Hi,

They should be displayed by default, can you please provide admin credentials in a private reply to check ?

Hi Radu,

Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of town. Here is login info for the admin account:

I usually have to login several times before I can access /wp-admin. I don’t know why this happens; maybe it is Jetpack-related?

Hi,

In quick CSS of the theme, it’s this CSS rule that prevents excerpts to be shown.

COPY CODE

.post-item .post-info {
    display: none;
}

So you can delete it can have the excerpt in the category.

Hi Radu,

Thanks so much for figuring this out! Sorry to bother you since this was some of my CSS causing the problem.
