Search Results for 'author box'

Hi

Try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/9psGeAjn

.author-box-wrap img{
display: block!important;
}
}

Hi

To remove the author box from posts written by a specific author you need to add a condition in td_module_single_base.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/AOLLk9j3A

if ($author_id == 3){
return;
}

If you want to remove author name from article top add this condition in td_module_single_base.php file here: http://screencast.com/t/rzD39z79MEPG – http://screencast.com/t/hxs4uMhoo1Y

if (($this->post->post_author) == 3){
return;
}

To get the author id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/5kY7lLtFB1MT – http://screencast.com/t/vO2XeRsO4HK7

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

You would likely need to edit the query for the author box element with an if user 123 based on the user id number, then dont show box, else show box.

Tagdiv should be able to point you at right file with screen shot and some example code to try, when they get back in monday.

Hi

1. WordPress doesn’t have an option to add a profile picture, you will need a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/ or to use gravatar: https://codex.wordpress.org/How_to_Use_Gravatars_in_WordPress

2.3. To add a text in author box and add authors social networks replace the initial code from td_block_authors.php with this one: http://pastebin.com/GAxdwVKd – http://screencast.com/t/jUp27afShAW5
Also you will need this css in theme panel custom css:

.author-description {
color: red!important;
font-size: 13px!important;
padding: 0!important;
}

You can change the font-size and the color as you like. The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/xjD5jNWuvpn3

If you want a different implementation my advice is to look for a developer from sites like http://studio.envato.com/ as we cannot offer any type of custom work at the moment.

Thanks!

Hi

You have to search and replace them in the database, use a plugin like – https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/
Before you try this backup the database manually or use a plugin – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

The following shortcodes were changed:

* td_ad_box -> td_block_ad_box
* td_authors -> td_block_authors
* td_homepage_full_1 -> td_block_homepage_full_1
* td_popular_categories -> td_block_popular_categories
* td_video_vimeo -> td_block_video_vimeo
* td_video_youtube -> td_block_video_youtube
* td_text_with_title -> td_block_text_with_title
* td_slide -> td_block_slide
* td_social_counter -> td_block_social_counter

Thanks for the message!

I would buy this plugin also. Or happily use it if it was integrated into the theme.

We currently have a few workarounds that help with this within Newspaper – but they aren’t perfect.

User/Author Account for “Sponsored Content” – So wherever the author’s name normally appears, including some slots on the home page, “Sponsored Content” appears. The Admin has to manually change the author from the original poster and assign it to Sponsored Content. This also allows the inclusion of a disclaimer in the Author Box at the bottom of the page. You can see it in this screen grab in the main featured image for the Oktoberfest story:

Sponsored Content Category – Our sponsored content mingles with other categories, and many items overlap across multiple categories. All paid stories are placed in all relevant categories, including “Sponsored Content.” This places a Category label at the top of the page. We keep it black so it stands out next to the multi-colored other options.

Post Expirator – We use this plug in to relocate stories after their run is over. We leave all stories up permanently, because even some out of date stories bring in a lot of traffic. However, we use this to recategorize them and move them away from visibility on the site. You could use it to archive or otherwise turn off an active story at a set time. This can be scheduled at the time the post is created.

All that said, we’d still love something that makes it more explicit/clear on all sponsored images, as shown in Loiborg’s example links in the original post.

Thanks very kindly, Andrei! I carefully followed your instructions . . . without success.

When I added the code to td_module.php, both the author and title disappeared from the category list (yay!), and the date (though not the author) disappeared from single entries.

Please see the following screenshots.

Before td_module.php code:
– category list: http://www.theq.fm/0001-tagdiv-category-before.jpg
– single entry: http://www.theq.fm/0003-tagdiv-single-before.jpg

Before td_module.php code:
– category list: http://www.theq.fm/0002-tagdiv-category-after.jpg
– single entry: http://www.theq.fm/0004-tagdiv-single-after.jpg

I put in the get_author and get_author_box hiding code into loop-single-2.php (because I’m using Theme Panel > Post Settings > Default post template (site wide) > Style 2), but didn’t see any change.

So, I put in the code wherever I could in ALL of the loop-single files (1–8 and single) just to make sure I was doing things correctly, but to no avail.

I also couldn’t see any difference with the custom CSS in Theme Panel > Custom CSS. =(

Finally, I noticed that the changes I could see only took place when I edited the parent theme’s files directly. I didn’t see any difference whatsoever when editing the same files copied into the child theme.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the point of a child theme, but isn’t the whole idea to be able to affect change without editing the parent theme’s files?

Such that, when the parent theme updates, all of your changes aren’t lost?

It feels, with 3 out of 4 conditions being filled because of the td_module.php code, that we’re very, very close. I’d love to get that 4th condition (author name on single entries) hidden!

Please advise on next steps I could take, with many thanks again in advance.

=)

Hi

To hide the author name and date for a specific category page try adding this code in td_module.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/a0NTeGRu just replace the category name:

and !in_category('vogue')

To hide those info from posts that belongs to a specific category you need to add a condition in the file corresponding with the post template used: http://screencast.com/t/5JHbRQVHtv0 – http://screencast.com/t/pDeoshW9OH The same condition must be added if you want to hide the author box: http://screencast.com/t/BHNB4FJ7lVVx

<?php
if (!in_category('vogue')) {
echo $td_mod_single->get_author();
}?>

Also you will need this custom css in theme panel custom css:

.td-post-views {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 0!important;
}

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

Hello Chris,
I bought this theme because it appeared to be an out-of-the-box solution that is well supported. Your answer does not take the matter forward for me. Please note that I am not a developer.

I am changing themes from Elegant Themes Lucid to Newspaper.

I have read your docs – watched the video – and then done this again and again. Here’s what your docs say:

– If you want to use a demo, install it and that’s it. There is no information about setting the home page etc.
– If you want to design your own page (Page Settings > Homepage – How to build and set it) – Create a home page – design a page – set the page. This is not what I want to do.

In WordPress I have a pre-existing page named “Home” with the content below in the editor. This content does not change when I switch to Newspaper with the Newspaper demo (without content) installed:

“et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=”Sidebar” orientation=”right” area=”sidebar-1″ background_layout=”light” remove_border=”off” /][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blog admin_label=”Blog” fullwidth=”on” include_categories=”229,14,18,25,19,26,27,28,29,30,31,65,32,13,1,103″ show_thumbnail=”on” show_content=”off” show_more=”off” show_author=”on” show_date=”on” show_categories=”on” show_pagination=”on” offset_number=”0″ background_layout=”light” use_dropshadow=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” /][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=”Sidebar” orientation=”left” area=”sidebar-1″ background_layout=”light” remove_border=”off” /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]”

This looks like Lucid code to me and installation of the demo should override this content, but I’m not sure if this is how it works.

What is the best solution? Can I create a second page? If so what should I call it and how do I get the correct code for it?

I am working on the live site, not in a production environment. I need to keep my site running on the old theme while I make changes to content that doesn’t work with the new theme.

I have three sites to change over and would like to move ahead as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Is there a way to show the More stories only when someone reach end of post, or lets say Related Articles or Author box area. The current settings is 400 px (Yes, I can change that) from top but it does not really help when you have articles of different lengths.

It would be great if we can show this box when people scroll down at the bottom so that this bar does not cover your important sidebar (where advertisement is placed).

I always kept it disabled but now I feel like using it if we have some way!

Any thoughts please

regards
Siraj
