X theme questions

Hello. I’d like to know how to do a couple of things in the new X Theme that I bought. I’d like a website similar to awesomestufftobuy.com

  1. I’d like to know how to make there be only 3 lines of text that show in the preview of each post.

  2. How do I get a custom button to show up like “Buy on Amazon” that he has in blue, and how do I show the price next to it? This is in the preview of the post

  3. How do I hide the hover that happens when I hover over my featured posts images?

Hello Aaron,

Thanks for writing in!

1.) You can control the number of excerpts to display in your blog index. Simply go to X > Theme Options > Blog > Content and adjust the “Content Length”.

2.) The example website is using a custom html embed code that is taken from the some kind of affiliate site. This is why as you click on the button, you will go to different websites. You may need to use 3rd party plugin for this. I am not sure which plugin though.

3.) To get rid of the hover over your featured post image, please add the following CSS code in the X > Theme Options > Global CSS (http://prntscr.com/evui3r)

.entry-thumb:before {
    display: none;
}

a.entry-thumb:hover img {
    opacity: 1;
}

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.

Do you know of any plugins similar to that? I want to show the price and a link that people can click and go to amazon right away… I want to be able to edit it in the excript

Hello Aaron,

Regretfully we do not any clue about that plugin.
You may need to contact the owner of the example of the site.

Thank you for your understanding.
