Hello,

I’ve been having some difficulty setting up my blog section. I’d like to make it look like http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/1/blog/.

My blog link is http://www.rawlsfordistrict4.com/updates/.

Any help?

Thanks,
Whitney

Hi Whitney,

I’m having a 404 page here: http://www.rawlsfordistrict4.com/updates/

To create a blog page, please go Reading Settings > Then select the Blog page as Posts page. Check the screenshot below:

Please tell me more about issue you found with Custom Sidebar, I saw you replied to other guy’s thread.

Sorry, I changed the page name and link a day later. It’s now http://www.rawlsfordistrict4.com/latest-news/.

The issue is that the custom sidebar does not show up on the blog page or any of the posts pages. Additionally, I’d like the main blog page to look like the blog at http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/1/blog/.

Here’s a genesis theme http://forwardmotioncareers.com/category/blog/ that has a listing of blog posts.

Note it is in the category/blog/ folder.

Right now it seems the only way to get this type of look is to change out the home page.

I’d like to keep a static page on the home page and add a separate page with the blog posts on another page similar to the one above.

Is that possible?

Thanks
John

Hi John,

Thank you for writing in!

Upon checking your website, it seems that you are using Blank – No Container | Header, Footer as a page template for your blog page, please change it to Layout – Sidebar Left, Content Right (see: http://prntscr.com/46930g) to keep the sidebar on right and content on left. That is the reason that your custom sidebar isn’t appearing on the blog page.

You can show the posts on a different page by just changing your Front page display settings from Settings > Reading as we have mentioned earlier:

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

Hi guys! I have the same problem with the blog page on my site… :/

This is the address: http://www.alchimiadellasalute.it/wordpress/formazione/

I need:

#1: My blog has to look like http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/10/blog/ on the root page.
When a user click on a post it has to look like http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/2/5-reasons-you-need-the-x-theme/ I tried to follow your previous instructions about layout settings but it doesn’t works.
I really don’t know how to do…

#2: I don’t want the title of the page (in this case “lista eventi formativi”). I wanna choose or nothing (no title so directly the post preview) or a little Introduction section as I do in the other pages of the site. Is it possible?

#3: I also want that every post could be shared on FB or via mail. And that every user could press a FBbutton as “I like it”. How can I do?

#4: I want to change the colour of the FBicon (the roll-over colour) but I don’t know how to do.

Thank you guys, you are awesome.
Waiting for you 😉

#4: I think that i found the way with this custom CSS:
.x-social-global .facebook i {
color: #af167c !important;
background: white !important;
border-radius: 100% !important;
}

.x-social-global .facebook i:hover {
color: #009966 !important;
background: white !important;
border-radius: 100% !important;
}

but I noticed that the circle border is not so antialiased in the hover. What happened? Thank you!

Hi Enrico,

Thanks for writing in!

#1: It looks like your blog is already setup, the only difference is the amount of columns. To match the demo, you can simply change the columns by selecting Two under Blog > Columns in the Customizer.

As for the single blog post layout, the demo has a sidebar right enabled, to match it, select Content Left, Sidebar Right under Layout and Design > Content Layout in the Customizer (see: http://prntscr.com/7sxd21).

#2: This is the title of your blog page. Simply change your blog page title from the admin panel. If you wish to hide it, use following CSS code under Custom > CSS in the Customizer:

.blog .x-header-landmark {
    display: none;
}

#3: You can use [share] shortcode inside your posts to achieve that. As for the FBbutton “I like it”, regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

#4: To achieve that, add following CSS under Custom > CSS in the Customizer:

.x-social-global a:hover.facebook {
   background-color: #ff0000;
}

Replace #ff0000 with your desired color (you can generate hex color codes from here).

Thanks!

#1 & #2: I reach the result that you can find by yourself on-line… :/ I think that 3 columns on the main page of blog with no title show is perfect. But the visualisation of the single post page is very bad, as you can see. I don’t want the full screen image, just a smaller image and a layout exactly like this http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/2/5-reasons-you-need-the-x-theme/. I don’t know how to do…

#3: ok thank you.

#4: ok thank you.

Wait for your response, thank you so much again 😉

Hi,

Upon checking, I can see that your sidebar has a negative width.

Please open a new ticket then provide us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

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

As a temporary solution, you can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

body .x-sidebar {
  width: 24.79803%;
}

body .x-main.left {
  width: 68.79803%;
}

Thanks

[enrico.colacilloParticipant]

ok thank you, I do what you ask right now, and thanks for the temporary solution 😉
