Adjusting the review section

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi there – I’m just starting to use the review functionality and I’m wondering how I can move the review from the default position – which seems to be the bottom of the blog – to elsewhere on the page (somewhere near the top)?

Also, it takes up quite a bit of page real estate – is there a way that someone like me with little html experience can reformat it so it takes up less space – essentially reducing the size vertically?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

You can move the review bar by moving one line of code in the loop-single.php file like this: http://screencast.com/t/v5Lqx7a2o and you have to paste it above the title like this: http://screencast.com/t/CQL6ARbTmf

To reduce the size vertically you need to add some custom CSS. Do you have CSS knowledge?

Thank you

Ah that’s wonderful – have never edited a php file and that did the trick wonderfully – thanks man 🙂

Nope, don’t have CSS knowledge either – but could probably do with getting some! Know any simple guides on how I can edit the formatting of this review section?

Much appreciated!

Hi,

To reformat it so it takes up less space add this custom CSS:

.td-review {
margin-top: 0px !important;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.td-review-row-bars .td-review-desc {
padding-top: 0px !important;
}
.td-rating-bar-wrap {
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
.td_review_with_bars {
display: none;
}

..in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS

If you want you can look for CSS Tutorials on Google there are plenty of free courses.
