Blog post block in the middle of the site

Support
#1

i together,

I actually do my first blog with x theme. I found everything so far, but whe n I click on a post on my blogposts the image and text is on the left site of the page. I could solve it with “fullwidth” but that lokks not so nice. I just want to have the whole block in the middle.

Is that possible?

Kind regards

Hey @patsorules,

There’s no option for this currently so you need to override the theme styles with CSS. With the planned Layout Builder, you might not need CSS as you can build single and archive pages.

The first step is to ensure that you don’t add a widget to the Sidebar. But, to be extra sure nothing will show up in the frontend, you can hide the sidebar with the code below. Add it in Theme Options > CSS.

/* Hide X Sidebar on Single Post Only */
.single-post .x-sidebar {
    display: none;
}

Next, is to center the Single Post Main Content with the code below. Still to be added in Theme Options > CSS.

/* Align Center the X Main Content Area */
.single-post .x-main {
    margin: auto;
    float: none;
}

Lastly, please note that the code provided here are to provide guidance only or make you aware of the features available to extend our themes. You will need to learn CSS to understand how those code works as we will not fix nor enhance custom codes. If you need more CSS tweaks and don’t want to learn CSS, you’ll need to hire web developer.

Hope that helps.

Hey Christian,

thank you for your help. I decided to go with the portfolio as the blog function, cause it looks nicer at all.

But in the end I got a few questions and hope you can help me out.

  1. Is it possible to add some things to the preview on the blog site? I saw for example that you show up in your example at demo.theme.co/integrity-1/portfolio that you add a social media bar.
    So I would like to add a small text, a Read more Button and the social media bars. Is there any settings for It which I overlooked?

  2. I want to edit the hoover when you target the Portfolio item. There is the chain Icon with a red dot and the text "Permalink to: “Sierra Farm” maybe there is an option to delete the text and change the icon and the color?

  3. Is there any option to have the “Sort Portfolio” Button above the Portfolio permanent open and change the text?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Hi @patsorules,

  1. That is default setting for Integrity stack on Portfolio. You need to set the social media Settings on Theme Options > Portfolio. Other options like Read More is not available.

There’s another way to achieve it though. You may use Essential Grid. There’s skin editor so it is easy to adjust how it looks and then add element that you like.

2.) and 3.) Unfortunately, there’s no available options for it. Please try essential grid instead if you want to customize how it looks.

There’s a plan to develop a feature that will enable portfolio customization. We will let you know once it is available.
