Hi there,
My site is a book review site and I have two questions:
Question #1 – I would like my first section of the Home page to show the latest picture book reviews. I tried
a. using an animated slider but the images came out too small–even when I set them to large. But once I set them to full, they were too big, so I couldn’t use that.
b. Using a Big Grid, but the images are always too large and too dark, so I can’t use that.
c. I inserted a Block and tried to filter with the category “Latest.” The problem is that the “latest” filters only go back for 7 days. But I haven’t published a new review in 10 days so nothing’s showing. How can I customize this block to display book reviews in descending order (from last review posted and backward).
Question #2 – How can I place an image on the Homepage sidebar? It’s probably very simple but I’ve been at this all day and I just can’t figure it out.
Thanks for an amazing theme!
Hi, I figured out the answer to Question #1 myself. I would, however, like to know if there’s a way to limit the “Latest” reviews to the last 20 reviews. I still don’t see a chronological option, only a “Last 7 Days” or “Most Popular” option.
As for Question #2, I have that figured out too.
Hello Rita,
1) Make sure you check all these options in the panel: http://screencast.com/t/n6nQwEkug and regenerate your thumbails using ‘force regenerate’ plugin. You can also use a thumbnail upscale plugin if your images are too small.
You can set the block to display the latest posts: http://screencast.com/t/uRGQJziZ and set a post limit of 20: http://screencast.com/t/cYMimmmkfu
2) You can create your page in visual composer without a sidebar and set the layout to a 2/3 + 1/3 and add your visual composer elements do the right side of the page: http://screencast.com/t/GkYeBHGUTk including an image element
This is how our default homepage is built.
