Hi,

I am starting a new project where i will be building pages of information on health and writing blogs about it.

It will be like a hub of information on a few topics.

I selected Ethos 1 as the best theme to do this (If you think another theme would be better i am always open to advice)

I want to be able to add the blogs to wherever i want. how is this done.

On home page or any page.

so my page on daily feel good i want to add some writing and then have 2 or 3 blogs (pic and writting in a list like home page on demo)

http://demo.theme.co/ethos-1/
or
http://demo.theme.co/ethos-1/category/fashion/

what is the shortcode or widget to do this.

Thanks

Hi,

How do i have picture and start of the blog

http://demo.theme.co/ethos-1/category/fashion/

Also, is it possible for blogs to automatically go onto a certain page.

Ie water blog on water and salt blog on salt page.

Do i have to add manually (how is this done)
or
Added by keyword or tag.

Hope this makes sense.

thanks

Yes. Blog each blog or post category has its own archive page out of the box. Please go to Posts > Categories then view the category. Or, go to [yourwebsite].com/category/your-category/

If you want the page route, create a page with Cornerstone then use the Recent Post element to populate your page with posts.

Thanks.

Hi the,

1. You can try a static home page, then add Essential Grid to display your blog posts. You can achieve different layout with the combination of grids. Though, it may not be the same as row type layout. How about statically calling your shortcode in blog index’s template?

2. Would you mind providing more details? I’m not sure what you wish to control, that item is only displayable in blog page.

3. You mean redirect all quote post to a single page? That’s possible, please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter('post_link', 'quote_format_redirect');

function quote_format_redirect ( $url ) {

return get_post_format() == 'quote' ? 'http://example.com/motivational/'  : $url;

}

Just change the URL to your preferred one.

4. Yes, please add this CSS to Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Custom > CSS

 .single-post .has-post-thumbnail .entry-thumb img {
  max-width: 500px;
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;
  }

5. Please add this too,

.x-topbar .x-social-global a {
    margin-left: 8px;
    font-size: 25px;
}

And what format? You can improve it to something like this

.x-topbar .x-social-global a {
    margin-left: 8px;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: pink;
}

Depending on your preferred format.

6. Please add this too.

body {
background: #fff;
}
.x-sidebar {
    background: rgb(228,228,228);
    padding: 30px;
    position: relative;
    top: -45px;
}

7. Please disable your Ubermenu google map API. You can find it in General and assets setting. Toggle off the loading of map API.

8. That would require custom development or 3rd party plugin. You mean notification?

Thanks!
