Hi there,

I have just purchased the Theme and for the life of me I cannot get the Demo content (Ethos-01) to show. All the home page shows is a messed-up page? The Demo Post pages are in WordPress (Posts) and can be viewed directly. How do I submit a ticket and provide you with login credentials?

Hi there,

Please note that standard demo content imports home page content.
You can provide us with URL and login credentials in private replay.

Thanks.

There simply doesn’t seem to be any “pages” for the content to display on?
I trust you will be able to take a look shortly as then I can get stuck-in and start learning from the Demo Content/Templates etc. Right now I can do nothing until you reply.
As I live in Asia – its been a while since my initial enquiry and its 6pm now!

I have activated most of the plugins but nothing is editable either backend or frontend (customiser).
Somethings not right for sure…

RSVP.

FYI. I did have a previous theme installed, in case you get stuck yourself and recommend a FRESH WordPress install….

Hey there,

Sorry for the confusion. Ethos demo 1 front page display is composed of Blog posts and you will need to manually set them up in the Customizer. Please see https://community.theme.co/kb/customizer-ethos/ for instructions on setting up Ethos.

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

I read the article earlier today before bothering you. What the article (or your help) DOES NOT mention is that the DEMO content is imported as standard posts and will NOT show on the Home Page, slider, carousels etc. unless you select RANDOM – then -BINGO! The page populates with the demo content. This should be mentioned – rather than me having to figure it out for myself and waisting 3 HOURS today!

I still have no way to edit anything on the Front End (other than the usual WP Customise) options. As I have provided you with login credentials can you at the

very least

PLEASE check that my ad-ons (cornerstone etc.) are working correctly?

What concerns me is that with a slow internet connection here – maybe the ad-ons aren’t loading, or they are not working properly. A few minutes of your time will save me many hours of heartache!

[Christian]

We’re sorry that the Ethos 1 setup is not clear. I’ve just submitted your feedback and we’ll make changes to Ethos documentation as soon as possible.

Yes, Random option will display posts in Carousel and Slider instantly. Selecting Most Commented will display posts that have the most comments. Selecting Featured is a bit different as you will need to set an individual post to be featured. Each post has an Ethos Settings where you could set a post to be featured in the carousel and or slider(see attachment). See Stack Specific Post Meta Options section at https://community.theme.co/kb/meta-options-posts/ for more details.

I filled your Filterable Index field with existing post category IDs (173,171,172) and posts now displays (see attachment). See https://community.theme.co/kb/how-to-locate-category-ids/ to learn how to get the category ID.

I’ve added a new page http://www.as2ute.com/x-support-test/ and used Cornerstone with it and I experienced no issue.

Ethos 1 is a blog page and along with archive and portfolio pages, it cannot be edited with Cornerstone as they are dynamic pages. You can only set them up with the available options in the Customizer.

Hope that helps. 🙂

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH Christian – This will help me immensely.

TIP! I really do think a set-up video would save new users considerable heartache AND lessen your helpdesk load.

Example: Many will want to make posts using Cornerstone – and it will be common to get frustrated that “Adding Text” will not align the text to the left as the text is placed in a container. I understand this from previous Visual Customiser use – so I knew what was going on – but why should I have to wade-through 100’s of Forum topics to discover something so BASIC? I mean – like, EVERYONE is going to have this problem until they figure out how to turn ON margin less columns!

A few shot YouTube videos (from Themco) would be fantastic.

In any event – I thank you so much for getting me straight, so I can start adding content and building my website. Sure it is a learning curve (for me) but again, I am very grateful for your intervention yesterday. WELL DONE YOU!

Kindest regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

We certainly appreciate the feedback! This is something we can add to our list of feature requests. This way it can be taken into consideration for future development. All of these items are discussed with our team internally and prioritized based on the amount of interest a particular feature might receive.

Thanks!

[boyettcamp]

No worries – I certainly appreciate the HELP!

Just a quickie (I hope). I am ‘playing around’ with various Blog types (standard, image, featured etc.)

Would you be so kind as to confirm:

1. What settings I need to implement in order to get a SINGLE post to display the same as the post category does? (see attached). In some instances (not site-wide) it would be nice to have the image full width (within container) but keep the side menu and text below the image….

2. What permalink structure is the ETHOS Demo using? As I intend my site to function the same (coz I love it!)

(FYI I have set: http://www.as2ute.com /%category%/%postname%/ )

[Rue Nel]

Hello There,

To do that, please add the following JS code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > Javascript

(function($){
  $('<div id="custom-featured" class="x-container"></div>').insertBefore( $('.single-post .offset.cf') );
  $('.single-post .entry-featured').appendTo( $('#custom-featured') );
})(jQuery);

And then you also need to add the following css code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS

#custom-featured .entry-featured img{
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

Please let us know if this works out for you.

[boyettcamp]

Hi Rue,

I very much appreciate your reply, however, will this not be a ‘site-wide’ alternation?
As you will note from my query. I wished to display certain single posts this way selectively – not every post (see above – Ponit .1)…

If this is not possible then I will leave everything as is. However, if this is not a ‘site-wide’ modification – I’m sorry for being so dumb!

[Rad]

Hi there,

It’s sitewide for all posts, but not global. If you wish to apply it to specific post then change them into these,

(function($){
  $('<div id="custom-featured" class="x-container"></div>').insertBefore( $('.single-post.custom-header .offset.cf') );
  $('.single-post.custom-header .entry-featured').appendTo( $('#custom-featured') );
})(jQuery);

.single-post.custom-header #custom-featured .entry-featured img{
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

Then edit your target post and find Post Settings, then add custom-header to Body Class(es) input. That will apply the javascript and CSS to selected posts that has custom-header body class.

Thanks!
