Essential Grid, recent post and static content

Support
#1

Hi there,

I really struggle with this.
I want to use essential grid for a column to show one recent post. I can setup this and all works like expected with only one issue: The Content (Title & Excerpt) is only shown with mouse over / hoover.

I read all articles:
https://www.themepunch.com/faq/show-skin-content-without-hover/

But this do not affect the Content area…
I just want a static image and underneath a static Title & excerpt… But Title and Excerpt is always with an hoover…
Any Ideas?

I would be really glad for a hint.
Thank you,
Michael

Hey there,

You will need to use either of these skins



You can customize a skin using the Item Skin Editor. See https://www.themepunch.com/essgrid-doc/item-skin-editor/ for usage instructions.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

thank you. That’s exactly what I did. I use a copy of masonry-blog-ronald-reagan.
But it is not static.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi there,

It seems that a Javascript conflict is happening on your website which prevents Essential Grids from working correctly.

I suggest that you add a new test page and add the Essential Grid there, ad then deactivate all your 3rd party plugins and any custom code you may have on your website in the Child Theme or in the Options > JS section.

See if it fixes the issue. If yes then bring back each section to find the one which has the conflict.

Also as an alternative temporary solution, you can add the CSS code below to Pro > Launch > Theme Options > CSS:

.esg-overlay.esg-fadeout.eg-item-skin-2-container {
	opacity: 0 !important;
}

.esg-entry-content.eg-item-skin-2-content.esg-notalone {
	display: block !important;
}

I also found out that you use X Child theme instead of Pro Child Theme on your website. Kindly remove your child theme and from your Themeco dashboard download the Pro Child Theme. Then move over the customization you had in X Child Theme to Pro Child Theme.

Thank you.

Hi christopher,

thank you for your time and support.
I deactivated all plugins, except essential grid - no success
Also with your css no success. I’ll guess the Theme is hiding or disturbing something…

Last: No. I have installed Pro-Child for sure

Any ideas?
Thank you,
Michael

If I click refresh, I can shortly see the content underneath. I believe the next section of the Layout is pushed up and hide the content of Essential Grid…

Hey there,

I logged in to your site and saw no grid created.

Please create a grid with the Garfield skin and update us if the issue persists.

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

thank you. I am sorry. Here we are again…

Still not solved…

Hi there,

I double checked the website and unfortunately still can not find out why this is happening. The one finding is that it is something related to Essential Grids plugin itself as I changed the theme from Pro to default theme and the result was the same:

Would you please kindly double check the Essential Grids settings? If needed kindly use other presets to see if it is the specific preset you are using or all the settings result in that view.

Thank you.

Hi Christopher,

I checked, double checked and even triple checked the settings. Also other presets did not work like expected.
Maybe it is a bug in this Grid-Version. That’s why I asked your team, why the included Version is over one year old and three Versions behind the actual Version:

What can I do now?
Any ideas?

Hence!

This was not mentioned in the guide from themepunch:
Also under “Grid Settings” is a point called “Layout” and a checkbox for “Masonry”…

Ticked that and all is fine :slight_smile:
Thank you,
Michael
