Is it possible with either of these tools to edit the layout of a single post page to put arbitrary blocks below (or indeed in) the post? I know the footer is configurable, but I want to place something alongside ‘Related posts’ that will also display on the mobile theme, as widgets and short codes won’t work on mobile.
Hi,
The Mobile Theme is an optional plugin and it doesn’t support and/or render the Visual Composer shortcodes(including tagdiv shortcodes). It comes with its own templates and elements.
If you use Mobile Theme and you want to place something above/bellow Related Articles here you can find the code(post template) – http://screencast.com/t/aFPxTbrQA
Thanks!
I’m aware of the reasons for the mobile theme not supporting widgets and shortcodes, but it des render blocks, which is why is like to include some below the post body. I’m not familiar with how the defaul styles applied in the theme panel are implemented. I had hoped that Composer would allow me to clone and modify them.
A few things seem to be hard coded into the theme, which does hamper customisation somewhat. Take for example the sharing buttons. There is no obvious way to add, for example, a “Reddit this” button without delving into code.
Am I missing something obvious?
Hello,
The mobile theme will not allow any blocks to be added on posts. It only uses on grid created specifically for the homepage and the rest are modules again created specifically for the mobile theme. The theme blocks you can see on desktop cannot be used on the mobile theme as it;s a totally different theme. You must think of the mobile theme as a separate theme that does not have those elements. You cannot use an element from one theme on another. If you want to have the default blocks from our theme on mobile, simply deactivate the mobile theme and use the standard responsive version. That way the mobile version will be able top provide the blocks you need if you add a block to the post template with a do_shortcode function.
As for the social icons, there is no easy way of adding a new social network. They are hard-coded and can only be altered from the theme files.
Here are a couple of examples:

Thank you!
