Hi.

On https://okobserverorg.wpmudev.host, when going to https://okobserverorg.wpmudev.host/july-2019/, we’d like to see if the large ‘featured image’ can be clickable to open the PDF https://okobserverorg.wpmudev.host/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Jul19Digital.pdf, rather than having to scroll down to the smaller image that’s inside the body of the post.

Would there be some CSS that might help us do this?

Newspaper theme is awesome! Best on the market. We’re getting really positive reviews.

Many thanks again.

Hi,

The featured image can’t do that unfortunately. You could remove the featured image from the post page, then the second image will be at the top.
Or make it appear below that smaller image. Since I see you are using a cloud post template, you can easily drag and drop the post content element to appear above the featured image element – http://prntscr.com/ofm8i4

That image in the post content is quite small from what I can see, despite being larger in reality. Is that a thumbnail of the image? From what I can see it is a small thumbnail, not the full image or larger thumbnail – http://prntscr.com/ofm9ln

Thank you very much for the kind words, let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks for your reply, Simion.

Since we’re using Flex Block 3 for both sections (‘Latest News’and ‘Magazine’) on our front page, is there a way to clone Flex Block 3 under a different name so I can make changes to it so it only affects the ‘The Magazine’ section and not the ‘Latest News’ section.
This way I could make your recommended changes.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I thought you were referring to the post page, sorry if I misunderstood. So you are referring to the blocks in the homepage – http://prntscr.com/ogmdyr which are flex blocks 3.
What exactly would you like to do to them? it would be hard to actually clone a block under a different name and use it fully in the composer. Maybe choose a different block or flex block and modify that one if needed. Let me know.

Thanks

I was thinking that I needed a new customized flex box in order to call the customized single post template for only the ‘issues’ category, so I would only see the new single post template on those. Otherwise, the other post categories would go to the regular single post page (unaltered).

I don’t quite understand what you are trying to do unfortunately. Blocks display posts regardless of what templates the posts use, according to their filtering. Posts that appear in a block can’t be filtered by post templates if that is what you want to do. Let me know.
