Excerpt not shown on blog page + change background of headers

Hi,

I’m new in this amazing theme. I have 2 questions, I hope you’d like to help me.

Excerpt
In my blog post-page settings, there is no option to add an excerpt. Only “Post settings” is shown. How can I add an excerpt on an individual post?

Main settings Header background
I’m using the ‘Craft Ideas’-demo. I would like to change the yellow background in all headers (see for an example the right sidebar “About me”, “Catagories”, “Stay Connected” – yellow stroke background).
Is there an option to change the background image for all headers at once?

Thanks for your response!

Nick

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have and we will try to reply as soon as possible.

In our theme excerpts are shown on modules used on blocks, this is an excerpt

These are the settings concerning excerpts
https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
Manual excerpts can be set for each post if needed

Not all modules/blocks display excerpts. See all the blocks here
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/

That is a background image indeed

Each demo contains custom design, the theme by default does not have a setting to set a background image for block headers. There are however many block header styles you can choose

If you want to change that image you could replace the default image set in the demo stylesheet

Hi Simion,

Thanks a lot for your amazing help! Great work!
The excerpt-question is answered.

About the header background-image:
I went to Newspaper/includes/demos/craft_ideas/demo_styles.css
In line 175 I changed the code from
background-image: url(“images/header-bg.png”);
to
background-image: url(“http://reisdromen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Brush-stroke.png”);

Unfortunately, nothing happened. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks.

That would work, if you replaced the URL of the original image there would be no problem

Could be caching, try to clear all caching installed or server provided, clear the browser cache as well.

Thanks
