Search Results for 'review'

Hi Marius

Two final questions:

If you look at my example page here: http://connecteddigitalhome.com/2014/02/02/review-resogun/

you will see that the review box appears after the socialize plug – how can I make the review box appear directly after post?

Also, there appears to be some blank space above the review box, how can I get rid of it?

many thanks

Andrew

Assuming you are using module 1, you would edit your includes/modules/td_module_1.php file.

Find the section of code that looks like this(mine starts at line 49):

            if ($this->show_excerpt === true) { //module 7 uses this
                $buffy .= '<p>' . $this->get_excerpt(td_util::get_option('tds_' . 'mod7_content_excerpt')) . '</p>';
                $buffy .= '<div class="more-link-wrap wpb_button td_read_more clearfix">';
                $buffy .= '<a href="' . $this->href . '">' . __td('Continue', TD_THEME_NAME) . '</a>';
                $buffy .= '</div>';
            } else {
                $buffy .= $this->get_content();
            }

            $buffy .= '<footer class="clearfix">';
                $buffy .= $this->get_post_pagination();
                $buffy .= $this->get_review();
                $buffy .= $this->get_the_tags();
                $buffy .= $this->get_source_and_via();
                $buffy .= $this->get_social_sharing();
                $buffy .= $this->get_next_prev_posts();
                $buffy .= $this->get_author_box();
            $buffy .= '</footer>';

and replace it with this:

            if ($this->show_excerpt === true) { //module 7 uses this
                $buffy .= '<p>' . $this->get_excerpt(td_util::get_option('tds_' . 'mod7_content_excerpt')) . '</p>';
                $buffy .= '<div class="more-link-wrap wpb_button td_read_more clearfix">';
                $buffy .= '<a href="' . $this->href . '">' . __td('Continue', TD_THEME_NAME) . '</a>';
                $buffy .= '</div>';
            } else {
                $buffy .= $this->get_content();
                $buffy .= $this->get_author_box();
            }

            $buffy .= '<footer class="clearfix">';
                $buffy .= $this->get_post_pagination();
                $buffy .= $this->get_review();
                $buffy .= $this->get_the_tags();
                $buffy .= $this->get_source_and_via();
                $buffy .= $this->get_social_sharing();
                $buffy .= $this->get_next_prev_posts();
            $buffy .= '</footer>';

hi Marius

ignore me – I saw the 2nd line and made that “false”!

Thanks again 🙂

Andrew

Hi Marius

that hasn’t removed the stars from the front page, see for yourself:

http://connecteddigitalhome.com/

anything else to try?

thanks

Andrew

thanks Marius

The review overview box is now gone – thanks 🙂

How do I remove the stars from the homepage?

thanks again

Andrew

One other quick thing Marius around point 4 – I have hidden those lines, thank you, but how do I remove the box that says Review Overview? I only want the box that says Summary.

thanks again

Andrew

thanks Marius

re answer 5 – I don’t want any review stars to appear on the homepage ever – how can I remove them, especially as they don’t actually correspond to whatever score is given?

thanks

Andrew

hi,
please provide the url for your site, and we will see what you can do.

Thanks for you message.

Yes, after upgrading to v3, it’s back 🙂

Make sure you’re not in “compatibility mode” in IE10/11 for your website. That mucks with all sorts of things, I found. May not be the issue, but it broke all sorts of things for me. And, if your host uses mod_pagespeed or if you’re using caching be sure to “disallow” your wp-admin and themes folder from being “optimized” or “modified” as that can also break stuff. Mine still works, so usually good idea to backtrack on any new plugin installed which inserts any hooks into the page posts/admin (like a form manager, etc.). Some plugins don’t create unique IDs for their “hooks” and then this breaks other plugins.

Looks like you had some change to your permalinks and haven’t done the redirects when you changed the permalink structure.

The theme doesn’t create duplicates or revisions. You might check your database and make sure you delete all revisions. You can also ensure you don’t have some kind of plugin running which connects to your social media when you do a “preview” when posting (meaning the plugin “runs” when the page loads, even if in preview — I had one of those once upon a time which was a pain as it would ping the social media stuff even for a “preview” …)

None of that may apply to you — but from my experience with theme there isn’t anything in the core code which creates additional versions of content– it’s just a theme, and doesn’t create POSTS or revisions.

If you have a module or plugin which puts some kind of tracking ID on the end, that might cause the issue too, where some kind of redirect was supposed to work, but doesn’t.

Not sure if that helps or not.

While debugging you may want to simply turn off all the plugins and temporarily revert to the twenty-twelve theme and then WATCH what your site is doing. Then turn on plugins one by one and see if something weird is happening — may be a rouge/hacked/bad plugin. This isn’t really a forum for general WP debug, but more theme specific help.

Using a plugin like WP-Optimize may help to “clean up” all the junk in your dbase, if you’re not already doing that, too.

Sorry no better answer.

Don’t paste in from MS Word unless you use the MS post filter option in WP. When you copy/paste from MS Word into a post directly it may copy all the HTML code that MS Word uses; this also can happen if you copy/paste from another website in some cases. “Mso” code is from Microsoft Office if memory serves.

If you look at your post in “code view” (showing markup/html) you would see all the carryover html. I often find it useful to “save as” from MS Word to a UTF8 plain text file then paste that text file into WP for cleaner posts.

See this info from WP support pages, which should help
http://en.support.wordpress.com/microsoft-word/

Something else that confuses me – When I first preview the change via the site edit, it does EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!

It’s once I save it, that there is a call in the code somewhere to change the layout.

How do I stop it from changing to boxed?

Best bet is to
First check your wp-config and htaccess to see if something got “munched” there.

1) make a backup of your dbase from phpmyadmin from hosting account
2) make backup of WP data from your wp admin panel if you can login; and backup your wp-config.php and .htaccess file if you use one for permalinks.
3) turn off all plugins
4) turn off the Newspaper theme; go back to default “twenty-something”
5) reinstall wordpress via FTP proper way; re-upload theme files via FTP
6) make sure site works with default theme
7) preview newspaper theme
8) activate theme; turn on only “required” plugins

It sounds like you have something broken unrelated to theme.
Also check your permission on whether the ftp owner or Apache ‘owns’ your content, as this can cause major headaches, and I’ve found having your WP install ‘owned’ by Apache/server just doesn’t work properly. This is something to check with your hosting provider, or via your hosting account site panel for the file viewer which will show “owner” for each folder in your root public folder.

Hope that helped. Often best to ‘clean house’ when you’re having problems you can’t trace back to any one thing.
