Hi folks
okay… messing with my hobby website magazine, playing with logo etc., but anyway ran into some apparent gremlins in 4.4. Viewing pages in Chrome/Win7-64.
Standard setup; no bizarre plugins, no jetpack, no caching; mod_pagspeed off at the moment; no mega menu.
Issue #1 (personal preference)
on the author, category, archives pages, there are breadcrumbs printing on page under story titles which should not be there and are totally redundant, e.g., here:
http://ga-ga.com/gogaga/movies/
Issue #2:
the category pages, tags, author page don’t appear to pickup the H1 tag settings from theme panel, and also seem to “run into” the breadcrumbs at page top (as above link).
Issue #3:
on post tops with post type “style 2” the top ad banner gets truncated; even adding margin above the full width div for the breadcrumbs.

Issue #4:
How to add a line rule below the top banner ads in general to better separate from the content areas? Could not find a single unique div for the top banner ad, and adding a line rule to the entry-crumbs simply added that to all pages, which didn’t work too well since on the normal categories, the crumbs are not full width and only in left main column. Perhaps even a background color for those pesky ads which Google serves with no borders and just floating on white backing look funky.
Issue #5:
Any way to disable the top banner ad on home page ? Right now on home page when above slider it overlaps the background gradient and with the transparent ads the drop shadow basically runs through the middle of the ad. http://ga-ga.com/
Similarly on the post style with full width photo (style 4), the banner ad doesn’t work with full width image

COMMENTS:
Due to the issues with the top ad banner am thinking of just disabling it.
An option to have the ad banner ABOVE the logo would be nice, as I’ve mentioned before. Ideally with option to put a background color on the section, so it doesn’t conflict with the logo on either white or black background layouts. That does not currently appear as an option in the admin panel, unless I’m going blind. 🙂
ONE LAST:
How might I add a background color behind the div for the Google ad box in sidebar, to help “block that in” with the column width? Also useful for when Google serves a narrow tall ad, or a no border on white ad where it looks bizarre in the space.
THANKS!!! Some of that might be nit-picky, but only issues I’m having – otherwise perfect.
Sort of fixed #3 with custom CSS
.header-content-rec{padding-bottom:15px; margin-bottom:10px;}
Erm how did you customize your widget titles?
Hi,
For your first issue, you can get rid of the breadcrumbs on search module like this: http://screencast.com/t/wd80UQ6nBuWy
You can remove them the same way for other module also.
Regarding issue #2 please note that those setting will work for the pages templates build and added with the page builder and when used the default template.
We know about #3 and we have this on our to-do list to fix in the next update.
For the 4-th issue you could use this css to add a border to the top of page wrapper, like this: http://screencast.com/t/kcV8d2ZLj4R
.td-page-wrap {
border-top: 2px solid #a7a7cb !important;
}#5 I’m not sure how this happens but you can use custom css to hide the banner only on homepage, like this: http://screencast.com/t/rDggCB6SIlUl
.home .header-content-rec .td-g-rec-id-header {
display: none;
}and for post template 4 you can use this: http://screencast.com/t/K4PjrKpr3nI
.single_template_4 .header-content-rec .td-g-rec-id-header {
display: none;
}Regarding the option for the banner to show before logo, you can simply do it like this: http://screencast.com/t/9cq1f3v9p5Bi
For the background of sidebar ad you can try this: http://screencast.com/t/BJhaoVkxCs1C
.td-g-rec-id-sidebar .adsbygoogle {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
.td-g-rec-id-sidebar {
background-color: #a7a7cb;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}Also use this sizes fro the sidebar Adsense ads: http://screencast.com/t/wlsdqlsI3p
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Thanks
