Hello,

So I’ve been wrestling with the Meta and Title results for my pages on Google search results. For some reason the date is posted on all of my pages, even my homepage. Is this a Google thing or a X theme thing? I don’t have this problem on Bing or Yahoo, and I get substantially higher impressions/clicks there. With that said, I’ve thumbed through the forums and the closest topic I’ve found is this one;

http://theme.co/x/member/forums/topic/question-about-seo-integration/page/3/

I currently don’t have a Child theme and I’m a little nervous setting one up at the moment, is there a solution I can implement without it? I don’t mind having to re paste the code after every update.

The second problem I have is even though I’ve disabled page titles under the page settings, it still pops up on the mobile viewing of my page. How can I remove this?

Thank you for your help!

Hi David,

Thank you for writing in!

If you’re not going to install child theme, then you could just edit /wp-content/themes/x/framework/functions/global/social.php and find x_google_authorship_meta() ang change it according to that thread.

Could you tell me which page should not have the page title? and what it should look like?

Thank you.

[David B]

Hi thanks!

Ok rookie question here, I’ve found the file and can open it but it opens as a notepad document. Do I need a certain program to edit a php file?

It’s every page. For example if you go to google page speed and test my site you’ll see the desktop shows a single title (custom headline) while the mobile shows a hard coded title plus my custom headline. I’m fine with my Site title being up top, but I’d like to remove the page title from every page since I use a custom headline instead.

Scratch the concern about removing or altering the H1, if you could tell me how to center and create a small gap between the edge of the container and the H1 I’ll use that headline to replace my custom headline.

Thanks!

Hi David,

Notepad will do.

You could use this css for your page title.

h1.entry-title {
padding-bottom: 25px;
text-align: center;
}

Hope this helps.

[David B]

Great thank you so much!

Last few questions! I recently switched to the Ethos stack, and for some reason my top posts sidebar on the main page shows the picture but the text is white and thus not showing up. Also, is there a code that can border the widgeted sidebar? I also just noticed my breadcromb text is also showing white. Is there a code to change this as well?

Thanks again!

Hey David,

Upon checking your site, it is using Integrity. Please switch to Ethos so we could see the problems.

Thanks.

[David B]

Hi,

Thanks for the response I ended up just reverting back to integrity. I figured I’d fiddle with it when I got home and could learn how to install a child theme. Figured that made more sense, the internet is just too damn shotty for me out here to learn how to do it with your videos.

Sort of an odd question (last one I promise), if I wanted to, could I hide post titles from category and tag archive pages? Just content excerpts?

Thanks again for the A+ support.

Cheers,

[Christian]

Hey David,

We can hide them using CSS. Just give us the URL of your category and tag pages and we’ll give you the code.

Thanks.

[David B]

Hi,

Great. For Categories I’m looking to hide the Titles. I’ll want to do this for ALL category pages and not just this one.

For Tags, I’d like to keep the title but figure out the code on how to make it smaller. Again, for all tags.

http://www.brilliantlifequotes.com/topic/society/

I’ve noticed that my CDN’s minify settings are interfering with my archive excerpts showing. Is there a way around this? If not do I need to deselect all the minify settings or just JS?

I would also like to increase the next and back arrow size if possible.

Lastly, I’d like to remove the gap between Archive posts on both tags and categories. The only space I’d like to keep are the tag buttons.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
David

[Christian]

Hey David,

Please try adding the CSS

.category .entry-title {
display: none;
}

.tag .entry-title {
font-size: 15px;
}

For your CDN, please deselect the settings that interfere.

Can you give us a screenshot and the URL of the page with the arrow? And, can you give us more details about the spacing?

Thanks.

[David B]

Great that worked like a charm, thank you!

I was able to figure out the CDN problem, it actually wasn’t the CDN. In order to keep my like buttons I need to enable Full Post for my archives. Is this possible? Basically I want my tag & categories to look exactly like my blog roll.

My blog roll looks like this:
http://www.brilliantlifequotes.com/recent-quotes/

My archives look like this:
http://www.brilliantlifequotes.com/author/bertrand-russell/
or
http://www.brilliantlifequotes.com/topic/change/

My mobile tags/categories are perfect. I want my topic/categories on the desktop to look like my mobile site where the posts are pretty much stacked one on top of each other. The only difference is I would like to keep my tag buttons below, so that’d be the only gap. I would like to close the dark grey between my white posts. There is also excess space between the sharing buttons and the bottom of the post. I would like to close that to 15 px.

No worries about the arrow, got that taken care of.

Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

[David B]

Ah go ahead and ignore the question about space between sharing buttons, I was able to figure that one out. I’m learning slowly =p.

[David B]

Well, I wasn’t able to figure out how to close the gap between posts in the archive/blog. I’ll need help there and enabling full post for tags/categories.

***Update***

Sorry for the multiple posts, but it won’t let me update edit.

I’ve successfully installed the integrity light child theme. I’ve also tried to follow this suggestion (http://theme.co/x/member/forums/search/Full+Post+Categories/page/2/) but it hasn’t changed anything. I copied the _content.php file, and changed it to the following text (this is the only text in the file):

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/INTEGRITY/_CONTENT.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Display of the_excerpt() or the_content() for various entries.
// =============================================================================

?><?php if ( is_single() || (is_home() && get_theme_mod( 'x_blog_enable_full_post_content' ) == 1) || is_archive() || is_category() || is_tag() || is_search() || is_author() ) : ?>

Am I missing something?
