The latest post on my blog is a custom post of video type.
I noticed that it doesn’t show the sharing buttons, and I suspect it is because
it’s not even showing the rest of the post text, it just shows the video.
How could I enable it to show the rest of the post and buttons for custom post types?
Thanks!

Thanks for writing in!

You can check out this solution to display the social share buttons in all your posts:

If you’d like to display the social share buttons in specific posts, you may do so by using a shortcode as demonstrated in the following link:

As for the post not showing up in full, you can refer to this topic:

Really sorry for the previous solution, that didn’t worked for you. Thanks for the explanation though.

To do so, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

Now, Follow the steps described below one by one:

1) Copy this: x/framework/views/icon/content-video.php file, paste it into child theme’s path: x-child-ethos/framework/views/icon/content-video.php

2) Now, open the child theme’s file using Text Editor & replace the following codes into it:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ICON/CONTENT-VIDEO.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Video post output for Icon.
// =============================================================================

?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-wrap">
    <?php x_icon_comment_number(); ?>
    <div class="x-container-fluid max width">
      <?php x_get_view( 'icon', '_content', 'post-header' ); ?>
      <div class="entry-featured">
        <?php x_featured_video(); ?>
      </div>
     
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_content', 'the-content' ); ?>
      
    </div>
  </div>
  <?php x_google_authorship_meta(); ?>
</article>

Quick Tip: After your child theme is setup, you can review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Let me know if you need to do that for other post formats too. I just tweaked the theme for video post formate only.

Hope this helps, Cheers!

I’d like to do the same thing: get full content from video posts to show up on the main blog posts page. I’m using renew. I tried the code above, but it doesn’t work. I get the full text from the video post, but then it fails on line 24 and all other posts aren’t shown on the main post page.

Thanks in advance!
