Hi,

I am planing to build a site on X which will also use some custom post types. In particular I would like to use LearnDash for creating courses and Event Espresso for managing events. But when you use these or any other custom post types plugins you loose important part of X features which are available in standard WP post types (like page templates and various page settings available in X Theme by default).

I do not know if you would consider adding appropriate add-ons for these and/or some other WP leading plugins with custom post types so they would be fully charged with all the goodies of X Theme or custom development is the only way to cover that. If custom development is the main course for such a case then which dev sources do you recommend to use? Is there any people available in your Team for doing that or maybe you can recommend some partnered or independent developer which already knows X inside out and can do these add-ons rather quick and not that costly?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi guys,

How can I format post pages? I don’t see any GUI to do this in X Theme

F.i. In this post: http://www.es-cuela.com/2015/05/18/print-is-dead-long-live-print/

– How can I center the image and make it smaller?
– How can I remove this info “In Teachers by laoshi2015-XSDFKQ349djaksfha18/05/2015”?
– How can I remove the navigation arrows “>” and “<“?
– How can I add some gap space in between the post picture and the menu?

Finally, when I go to cathegory archive (f.i. http://www.es-cuela.com/category/teachers/), why the first image (The Modern Workspace) is not a teacher? On other words, where can I configure the view of category view?

Thanks in advance

Fernando

Hey Fernando,

There is no GUI for the Blog but there are options for it in the Customizer. The design is fixed per stack though so if you want to change the layout, you will need to do it with CSS because there are lots of possibilities and if we include them all, the theme will be bloated with options.

1. Please add the code below in Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS

.postid-43 .entry-featured img {
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
    width: 30%;
}

Change .postid-43 to .single-post if you want to apply it sitewide for single blog posts. To know the post ID of your post, please see https://community.theme.co/kb/how-to-locate-post-ids/

2. In Appearance > Customize > Blog, turn off Post Meta (see attachment)
3. For the nav arrow, please add the code below in your Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS.

.x-nav-articles {
    display: none;
}

4. For the gap, please add the code

.page .x-main.full .hentry .entry-featured, .single-post .x-main.full .hentry .entry-featured {
    margin-top: 0;
}

Hope that helps. 🙂

Hi there,

It was very helpful 🙂

Just a few more questions, take as an example this post http://www.es-cuela.com/2016/02/18/fernando-garcia/
– How can I center the the title “Fernando García”?
– How can I remove the comments section?

– How can I add the top space in this post http://www.es-cuela.com/2015/04/13/the-modern-workspace ?

– In general, where do I activate / deactivate the comments for certain posts?

– How can I edit the front page of the Blog section? I can’t find #56 in my pages not in my posts (see attachment)

– When I create a post, how can I choose if I want this post in the blog/news or not?

Thanks and regards

Fernando

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for updating the thread!

#1: Add following CSS under Custom > CSS in the Customizer:

.single-post.postid-888 .entry-title {
    text-align: center;
}

#2 & #4: To deactivate comments on certain posts, refer to this article: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-turn-off-or-disable-comments-in-wordpress-pages/

#3: To add space above that post, add following CSS under Custom > CSS in the Customizer:

.single-post.postid-49 .x-main.left .hentry .entry-featured {
    margin-top: 0px;
}

#5: You cannot edit a blog or archive page in WordPress. If you are pointing to your homepage: http://www.es-cuela.com/, as mentioned in the settings, you haven’t given any title to that page. So you have to go through your pages to see which is your homepage. Or you can go to your homepage while logged in and click on Edit Page (see: http://prntscr.com/a4sm3p) in the admin bar.

#6: It’s not possible because your published posts always appear in your blog page by default. It could be possible to exclude them with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

If you have any additional questions at this time we kindly ask that you open them up in a separate thread. The longer threads get in the forum, they become more difficult to support as they tend to drift off topic and they also make it troublesome for users trying to search for solutions. Keeping threads relevant to their original inquiry ensures that we can keep better track of what has been resolved and that users can more effectively find answers to similar issues they might be experiencing.

Thanks!
