I am still trying to get my bearings with Ethos 1 demo. When I set up my site, I didn’t get the option of standard or expanded. My demo had no place holders like this page shows: https://community.theme.co/kb/demo-content/

I think I must have done something wrong to begin with. Here is my site info:http://66.147.242.94/~trulybli/wp-admin/customize.php?url=http%3A%2F%2F66.147.242.94%2F%7Etrulybli%2F

Do you need my log in or anything? I really need to get this website finished. And I’m struggling with every step.

Thanks so much,
Darie

Hi there,

Post slider is being displayed on blog,archive and posts pages. Blog page in your site is ‘journal’ and it displays post slider.

Thanks.

On the ethos demo home page (the sample page on your website), there’s a slider and the posts that are shown as part of a magazine look have excerpts. They also have cool features like the title is over the image, etc. Why can’t I get that to be on my homepage?

Hello There,

Thanks for updating in! When I checked your site, I am seeing this; http://prntscr.com/dvr2oa
Please check your site so that we can log in.

Are you using Ethos 1 demo content? Please make sure that the Filter Index is turned “Off”. You can check it Appearance > Customize > Ethos > Blog Options. Enabling the filterable index will bypass the standard output of your blog page, allowing you to specify categories to highlight. Upon selecting this option, a text input will appear to enter in the IDs of the categories you would like to showcase. This input accepts a list of numeric IDs separated by a comma (e.g. 14, 1, 817).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I was able to fix the syntax error, you may now activate x child theme.

Thanks

Thanks for fixing the error.

On the ethos demo home page (the sample page on your website), there’s a slide that I can’t get to work. Also the posts have excerpts, which I can’t get to work. They also have cool features like the title is over the image in a translucent box, etc. Why can’t I get that to be on my homepage?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. It seems you are referring Post Carousel or Post Slider and both can be set from Customize > Ethos. Let us know if you can’t set this from there.

Cheers!

I need excerpts to show on from recent posts on the home page. How do I enable that?

Hi there,

Please add this in child theme’s functions.php file :

// =============================================================================
function x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2code( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'          => '',
    'class'       => '',
    'style'       => '',
    'type'        => '',
    'count'       => '',
    'category'    => '',
    'enable_excerpt' => '',
    'offset'      => '',
    'orientation' => '',
    'no_image'    => '',
    'fade'        => ''
  ), $atts ) );

  $id            = ( $id          != ''          ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class         = ( $class       != ''          ) ? 'x-recent-posts cf ' . esc_attr( $class ) : 'x-recent-posts cf';
  $style         = ( $style       != ''          ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $type          = ( $type        == 'portfolio' ) ? 'x-portfolio' : 'post';
  $count         = ( $count       != ''          ) ? $count : 3;
  $category      = ( $category    != ''          ) ? $category : '';
  $category_type = ( $type        == 'post'      ) ? 'category_name' : 'portfolio-category';
  $offset        = ( $offset      != ''          ) ? $offset : 0;
  $orientation   = ( $orientation != ''          ) ? ' ' . $orientation : ' horizontal';
  $no_image      = ( $no_image    == 'true'      ) ? $no_image : '';
  $fade          = ( $fade        == 'true'      ) ? $fade : 'false';
  $enable_excerpt = ( $enable_excerpt == 'true'      ) ? true : false;

  $output = "<div {$id} class=\"{$class}{$orientation}\" {$style} data-fade=\"{$fade}\">";

    $q = new WP_Query( array(
      'orderby'          => 'date',
      'post_type'        => "{$type}",
      'posts_per_page'   => "{$count}",
      'offset'           => "{$offset}",
      "{$category_type}" => "{$category}"
    ) );

    if ( $q->have_posts() ) : while ( $q->have_posts() ) : $q->the_post();

      if ( $no_image == 'true' ) {
        $image_output       = '';
        $image_output_class = 'no-image';
      } else {
        $image_output       = '<div class="x-recent-posts-img">' . get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), 'entry-' . get_theme_mod( 'x_stack' ) . '-cropped', NULL ) . '</div>';
        $image_output_class = 'with-image';
      }

      $output .= '<a class="x-recent-post' . $count . ' ' . $image_output_class . '" href="' . get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permalink to: "%s"', '__x__' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '">'
                 . '<article id="post-' . get_the_ID() . '" class="' . implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) . '">'
                   . '<div class="entry-wrap">'
                     . $image_output
                     . '<div class="x-recent-posts-content">'
                       . '<h3 class="h-recent-posts">' . get_the_title() . '</h3>'
                       . '<span class="x-recent-posts-date">' . get_the_date() . '</span>'
                       . ( $enable_excerpt ? '<span class="x-recent-posts-excerpt">' . strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ) . '</span>' : '' )
                       .'<div>' . __( 'Read More', '__x__' ) .'</div>'
                     . '</div>'
                   . '</div>'
                 . '</article>'
               . '</a>';

    endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();
  
  $output .= '</div>';

  return $output;
}

add_action('wp_head', 'change_recent_posts_to_v2');

function change_recent_posts_to_v2() {
  remove_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_v2code' );
}

Then add following shortcode to your page :

[x_recent_posts type="post" enable_excerpt="true" count="3" orientation="horizontal"]

Hope that helps.
