Hello,

Thank you for a great theme. I am developing a web magazine and using Ethos. There are many contributors that send in articles we don’t register them as users, we who work at the magazine enter the content in.
I can’t find a way to use the author shortcode to display their information without registering them in the system. Can you help me with this?
And can I display a photo of them there on the left in the ‘about the author’ field?

thanks,
Soley

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in.

Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support as this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your customization of it. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. If you have any further questions about the theme, we are more than happy to provide you with assistance on these inquiries.

Thank you for your understanding.

ok. thank you. Do I understand correctly that it is not possible without serious code change to enter in author information if the author is not registered into the site?

I have one more question. I want to use fullwidth layout, but have the text field narrower, a more reader friendly column width on computers. (here is an example of a site doing that: http://blaer.is)

I have tried to put in custom css suggestions from you that I found in other threads here in the forum, but the code would always narrow the field of both images and text. And I tried to use the ‘Site Width (%)’ in the customizer, but that will make all the site narrower. I also tried to use Cornerstone and put margins on the text field – but that would look awful on mobile device, making the text a thin line down.
Can you help me with this?

Hi there,

Yes, it would require custom development to add that functionality in author shortcode.

As for your other question, the simply way to get around this issue is to use Column Container for the rows. You can set it for each row under the row settings (see: http://prntscr.com/7jvwjr). If you are not using Cornerstone, you can simply use our [container] shortcode for the same functionality.

Thanks!

Thanks for answer. I still haven’t figured this out.
I want to use Cornerstone, and have done this using column container, and put 90px padding right and left. And then the column will be very narrow on mobile. I want the column to be narrow on the computer, for readability but to fill the screen on a mobile, because that is a narrow screen. ( here is a link to that page: http://webdev7.hi.is/2015/08/andlit-guds-sed-af-peggy-pickit-2/ )
I also tried the [container] shortcode, but can’t find a way to tell the shortcode to make the textfield narrower – the shortcode will be the width of the page, fullwidth if if I select or narrower if I have a sidebar.

thank you,
Soley

Hi there,

Please add the following code in Customize -> Custom -> CSS :

@media (max-width:480px){
.single-post .x-container.max.width {
    padding: 0px !important;
}
}

Hope it helps.

[soleystefansParticipant]

thank you.
I put this code in and nothing changed. I also tried to cut away other css changes I have made to see if some conflict were, but still nothing happened…

Hi There,

Please try the following CSS instead:

@media (max-width:767px){
    .single-post #x-section-1 .x-container {
        padding: 0px !important;
    }
}

Let us know how it goes!

[soleystefansParticipant]

thanks, still nothing happens…

[JadeModerator]

Hi there,

Please update to this CSS:

@media (max-device-width: 767px) {

    .x-section .x-container.max {
        padding: 0 !important;
        width: 98% !important;
    }

}

Please us know if it works.

still nothing happens…

Hi there,

Thanks for updating! It’s definitely working on your site. Check the screenshots below –

With code – http://prntscr.com/8dc7hw
Without code – http://prntscr.com/8dc81r

If you can’t see the changes, then please clear your browser’s cache and try again. You can also check it from another browser/PC.

If you still face any other issue or if you have other concern, please clarify it properly with some screenshot that what you are seeing and what you are trying to accomplish.

Cheers!

Hi again,

sorry for a late reply.

The problem was that Cornerstone does not display the changes. But I checked on my mobile and it is working.

thanks a lot!

You’re welcome!

Hello again,

I want to ask for a bit more help with containing the text if that is okay.

It is working well in Cornerstone, (like here: http://webdev7.hi.is/2015/09/ny-faersla/ ), there I put column container on and 130px padding on each side. But there is quite a lot of old posts on the site that I would like to have the same style – is it possible to have this as global style? but still be able to have images full width? (like here: http://webdev7.hi.is/2015/09/ny-faersla/)
I cant figure out the [container] shortcode, how would I get this same padding (130px on each side) ?
