Need help with Category, theme child, date in Ethos

[margsconradie]

Hi there,

I am building my first site.

I am really enjoying Ethos so far but I have a few questions.

1. I would like to remove the date and the category from the top slider.

2. I have read other comments on this but there is mentions of a parent and child theme and also CSS- I don’t understand these terms, please can you help

3. I would like only the heading to display between the thin little lines

4. Am I able to edit the blogpost in Cornerstone, or is that only layout related?

5. What button will allow me to create a call-to-action to link my post to an additional website?

Thanks for your help!

I can’t wait to get more educated

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

1. To remove category and date from post carousel, add the following CSS rules into your Theme Option > Global CSS area.

.x-post-carousel-meta .entry-cover-categories {
    display: none;
}
.x-post-carousel-meta .entry-cover-date {
    display: none;
}

2.To learn about child themes, please refer to our guide here (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-how-to-setup-child-themes/57). CSS also known as cascading style sheets is a special language in web, that is used to style web pages. You can learn more about it here (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS).

3.I’m not sure which headings that you’re referring to. Could you please provide us with a link to a sample page?

4.You can use Cornerstone to create blog posts. Make sure to enable it from X -> Cornerstone allowed posts types section (post,pages).

5.When you add a button in Cornerstone, you can set any external link under the Link section as follows.

Thanks!

What i meant by question 3 is the following: It has the heading, eg Coconut oil. When you hover over it, it is grey. I would like to add in a line or two of text eg, Learn more about the benefits of coconut oil and where to get it.

I really appreciate your help!

Hi there,

Still a bit confusing, would you mind providing a mockup design?

What I’m seeing is just post slider and post carousel, if you’re referring to hover effect for carousel and slider that adds text then it’s only possible with custom development, and we can’t cover that customization. But what you need to do is a way to add custom field/meta to your post (eg. post_tag_line), then you can simply display that custom field by editing the carousel and slider codes.

The codes should be here
\framework\functions\ethos.php
\framework\views\ethos_post-slider.php

And you may need some assistant to a developer for efficient and faster implementation.

Thanks!
