Hi, I am using essential grid and I have some questions:

1) When I create an essential grid post, my post container is not centered. How to center it (see image attached to see the problem)?
2) How to add social links under the essential grid posts?
3) The featured image in the posts is too big, how to reduce it? I tried with different sizes and cannot find a solution 🙁

Thank you

False image this is the right one

Another question: how to remove the automatic archive page from woocommerce to use essential grid instead? What I mean, if I go on the shop page I set up already from woocommerce/settings, etc. I become an archive with all products listed. Is there a way to remove this archive page so that I can use essential grid?

Other couple questions: how to transalate “Leave a comment” and “Submit”? I have set my language to italian, so I need these couple things consequently translated. I attached a couple pics

Hi there,

Let’s discuss few issues at time 🙂 , or you may start new thread for each issue.

1, 2, 3 Not sure how the screenshot is related to Essential grid. Looks like a single post page to me. But would you mind providing a mockup of your desired result? Is it post type or a custom one? Please provide the URL that has this Essential gid.

4. Using essential grid as archive layout isn’t possible. Essential grid is a stand alone feature which doesn’t have any connection to global queries that is used by archive pages.

5. Please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php with your translation.

add_filter( 'gettext', 'translate_these_strings', 20, 3 );

function translate_these_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {

        switch ( trim( $translated_text ) ) {

            case 'Leave a Comment' :

                return 'Your translation here';

                break;

            case 'Submit' :

                return 'Your translation here';
                
                break;

            default:

                return $translated_text;

            break;
        }

}

Thanks!

Hi Rad, thank you for your answers (here and on the other topic)!

1, 2, 3) I use Integrity Dark and I added the post through “Essential Grid Posts”. I added an essential grid in a page and I told the grid to display only essential grid posts, which belong to a particular category (in this case I used the category “Recensione”, also review) and I put the grid in the page “Dicono di noi” (about us). In this about us page there is then this essential grids with images that point to the various reviews. If you look at the image “TranslateLeave.jpg” in my previous post, you can see there are authors, post date and “Leave Comment”. I want to add either there or somewhere else but always in the posts (also this must be true for all future posts) the possibility to share the review on social networks (either with other plugins or with essential grids capabilities itself). When you open an article through the grid, you can read the article and the post container is not centered. I think it would be appear to be centered if my menu would be on the top, but my menu is on the left (I do not want to move it), so how to “re-center” it, assuming I have put my main menu on the left (as you can see from my images)?
4) Ok, thx
5) I will try it later 🙂

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back!

You could try using a social sharing plugin that supports the use of Custom post types, which is what Essential Grid Posts are. This https://wordpress.org/plugins/simplified-social-share/ type of plugin should work and output the social sharing on your Essential Grid Posts when someone clicks through to the complete post from the Grid.

For the centering issue, can you post a link to your site please, we can then provide a custom CSS solution. 🙂

Thank you!

Hi, I would even use standard posts, no problem with them, the problem is that I cannot display date, author etc like in the essential grid posts 🙁 If there was be a solution, I would use standard posts 🙂 if you can help me doing that, I would use standard posts. In this case I would like to know too how to share these “normal” posts on social.

P.s. the plugin you posted me is not for WP 4.5 and it is reported malicious (look at the reviews)

Hi There,

Thank you for the credentials.
The container is not centered because on Appearance > Customize > Layout and Design you have chosen Content Left and Sidebar right. The space on the right is meant for sidebar. But then your sidebar have no widgets on Appearance > Widgets that’s why it is blank instead. If you’re not trying to use or add content on sidebar, please try to use fullwidth content on the Customizer.

Hope this helps.

It makes perfectly sense, sorry to have not thought that 🙁 Thank you!!

You’re welcome! 🙂

Hi, sorry for bothering you, but I am actually using sidebars in the shop. How to center my container and how to add this social links share buttons? I can use normal posts too, but I need to know how to add author and date like I did with essential grid posts 🙂

Hey there,

Regretfully, those aren’t features offered by X. It could be possible 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. Thanks for understanding. Take care!

[ottobono]

Hey Chris, I do not understand your answer at all: the container position should be relative (also be responsive) to the space that the page take up and not be fixed assuming that you put your menu on the top! Why is it happening and how to fix it?

Second question (that I post again for the third time): how to display date, author and social links button in normal posts?
