Unfortunately The Grid refuses to help me unless I have a product license for their product and instead pushes me to contact you guys for support. Not sure if you will be willing to help me out but here it goes…

I am using multiple RSS feed sources for the grid and would like to display the source on the grid display. The grid allows you to add extra metadata fields if you know the metadata key name. I am trying to grab the “og:site_name” property and have not been able to get it to work. I have tried “og:site_name”, “site_name” and “_site_name” all without any luck. Do you have any suggestions on how to pull this data?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also capable of doing custom development if you have any tips.

Hi Lucci,

Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look on your setup? For the meta key to work, it should be added as field for the page or post. To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

Don’t forget to select Set as private reply. This ensures your information is only visible to our staff.

Hi,

Due to security requirements by my company, I am not able to provide you with an admin account to access the website.

We have several websites that are running x-theme and we would like to aggregate the content of those sites on a new website running x-theme using their corresponding RSS feeds and the grid plugin.

There seems to be no way to grab the site_name (source) of the individual articles when connecting multiple RSS feeds to the grid plugin. Unless you guys already have setup this type of specific metadata key in the theme it doesn’t appear to be sent over in the RSS feed data and I presume would have to be added in manually somehow? Using custom fields only seems to work for connecting to your own wordpress posts and not the RSS feed from others.

If it is absolutely necessary for you guys to have admin access to help for this specific problem then I can setup an additional development environment with the site copied over for you guys to access, but there is not much to the new site aside from some initial settings tweaking.

Hi Lucci,

I am afraid that will be necessary.

Let us know when it is ready.

Thanks

Hi Gerald,

I think it’s through custom CSS, and by using page/ID selectors. I could provide you one if you could provide the URL you wish to have the full-width.

Thanks!

@Gerald The solution to that specific thread you referenced involves adjusting a framework php file to remove the class name that adds a container to the post content. I also made some other core changes that made it more elegant than hacking away at it with CSS, so doing it this way made for sense for that specific project. I am not sure what your technical level is, but if you have a child theme setup and know how to find the theme files, you can copy over the one that handles the post content and edit that to your hearts desire.

That being said, the custom CSS solution is probably much simpler. Depending what you are trying to achieve you may need to get clever with how you use the selectors, but you should be able to overwrite the styles if you make it specific enough.

Thank you for sharing Lucci!

Cheers!
