Hello,

I’m trying to change the layout of my main blog page for my site, and I’m not really sure where to begin. I set up a child theme for the Ethos stack, and have already customized many things for the layout.

At this point, I really want to:
1. Remove the featured images from the index altogether. I like that it appears in the Carousel, but I want to have the post display underneath to not have the images at all. I managed to have the display be set to none, but the images disappear, leaving the empty space instead of moving the text to the left. Any ideas how I can fix that?

2. I would really like to have the category appear in red right before the title of the posts, the way I do here (using HTML in the post directly). Any way I can set this up in the template?

3. I also want to have the author name appear underneath, next to the date.

4. Is it possible to replace the post excerpt with a short synopsis instead? I could set the post to be a “quote” post and then display the quote out there on the index page.

5. Finally, is it possible to swap the line for copyright content with the social media icons in the footer so they appear in reverse order?

My site is http://www.musicarium.org

Thanks,
-M

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in!

#1. You need to add this as well :

.blog .x-main .hentry.has-post-thumbnail > .entry-wrap, .search .x-main .hentry.has-post-thumbnail > .entry-wrap, .archive .x-main .hentry.has-post-thumbnail > .entry-wrap {
  float: left;
  padding-left: 0;
  width: 100%;
} 

#2. It could be possible with custom development with Child Theme. Unfortunately it would be out of our support scope. You can create the directory /x/framework/views/ethos/_content-post-header.php to change this.

#3. Same as #2 and you can use the same directory to amend this.

#4. You can place your own excerpt content on the excerpt field but any formatting won’t work there on excerpt.

#5. You can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.x-colophon.bottom {
  padding: 35px 0 60px;
}

footer.x-colophon.bottom .x-colophon-content {
  margin-top: 45px !important;
}

.x-colophon.bottom .x-social-global {
  margin-top: -80px;
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thanks for your reply!

I’m not sure why you don’t offer that support, https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/title-above-featured-image-in-post-ethos/
this link has people getting a bit of help on setting up the php file.

Could you help me just put the author name to the left of the date? It must be pretty simple in php, I’m just new to this and I’m worried about messing this up.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. It’s a bit unusual so can’t recommend to do this. I have pointed you the file so just create the directory and edit the code. As it’s not really usual to use category within the title, I am afraid I can’t suggest you any code for this. We really try to offer some code if possible when it’s out of our scope but this is something we can’t assist.

Thanks for understanding.
