I meant your support staff.

Hello,

I have played around with this for hours. The default demo theme is very narrow. It does not look like your default demo as advertised. I have been told my support staff several times that in order to make it look like the demo you show (with the wider width), that I have to use the cloud templates. So I’ve got several set up, here’s one: https://businessbolts.com/reviews

This is set up to be wider which is what I want and like your default demo. The problem for me is that I CANNOT use that new cloud template for all my categories. There’s a problem with the filter. If I leave it set on ‘all categories’ then it each of my category pages displays the same category. If I set the filter for ‘reviews’ like I’ve done on this one then all my category pages show the reviews articles. It’s nuts. So I thought I had to create a new category cloud template for each category. If this is not true then please let me know how to do this.

The problem then is that since there’s no way to assign different tag pages for each tag now I can either just use the default tag template (which isn’t wide) or I can have all my tag pages show the exact same posts. Obviously that’s no good. The theme should be showing the right posts per tag page.

Can you please help explain this?

Sincerely,

Lisa

No, I don’t understand. I’ve spent hours on this and then you just send me a bunch of links so that I have to waste at least another 24 hours.

If I use a category cloud template like this one: https://businessbolts.com/reviews – I have to set the filter to show that I want the “review” category to display on that page.

If I just leave the filter set to show all categories, the theme displays all the categories on that page. So I thought I had to create a new category template for each category. If that’s not true can you please explain how to get the theme to be ‘smart enough’ to filter for the right category with a cloud template? It would be great if there’s a way to have the filter set so that it automatically pulls in the right content. I see no way to do that though with a cloud template.

Sincerely,

Lisa

Hello,

If there’s no way to get the tag pages to be a bigger width and still pull the right posts for the tag then that means your demo cannot be duplicated without coding. Do you know how messed up that is to show a demo that we cannot duplicate???

Here’s what I’m saying … this page seems to be a TAG page:

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/tagdiv-fashion/tagdiv-vogue/

It’s wide so there must be a cloud template used here which is fine. But then here’s a different cloud page:

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/tagdiv-fashion/tagdiv-style-hunter/

It’s also wide and pulling posts from the right TAG.

I see no way to get this effect. It seems I either need to use the default tag page which means it won’t be wide or I need to use a cloud template which all the posts will be the same on every TAG page because I’ll have to use the same one for each. Or I can get some coding done just to make the theme look like the demo?

I can’t believe there’s no easy way to make the theme look like the demo. Please let me know if this is true.

Sincerely,

Lisa

Here’s another issue with this … all just to change the width of the theme.

When you make a template then apply it, is there a way for the cloud template to just pull the right category into the grids? It doesn’t seem like there is. So for the categories I was starting to make a new category page for each category. This is really labor intensive.

The problem is that I have the same issue for the tag pages except I can’t find a way to assign a new tag page to a each tag. Again, this would be labor intensive. But since the tag template is assigned for all the tag pages, there’s no way to do it. Please let me know if there’s a work around for this. I do need each tag page to pull from only the tag filters, otherwise each tag page will be exactly the same. hopefully I’m missing something and there’s a way to do this.

Thanks,

Lisa

Thank-you, it seems like that solved the problem for me.

Sincerely,

Lisa

Ok, I have spent several hours on this and so have the post pages wider.

Now I’m noticing I will have to create new category pages (and it looks like a new template for each category). I’ve started this process and have this so far: https://businessbolts.com/reviews

It’s the same as my old template except the big grid will not stretch. How can I get this to stretch? The row is set for stretch 1200 like all the other rows, but it will not get wider.

Thank-you,

Lisa

Ok so there is one that’s a blank single post template that I’ve tried and it’s completely blank. I would have to go in and put all these components into it which I do not understand how to do. Can you explain how to add in a column so I can have the post content on one side and then whichever sidebar I’m using as the default show up on the other? I cannot even get a good start without that.

Alternately, is there anyway to just get the actual default template that my site is already making the posts from and then adjust the width on that one? That’s the only thing I want changed on it. It should be somewhere on my server. It would be much easier than having to re-create the entire template by hand.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hello,

I am trying this. I got a single post template and had to delete most of it as I just spent a lot of time getting everything perfect with the default templates and don’t want most of what is on that template. So now even with that, the page does not look right. It has a new title which is not in the right spot, the sidebar no longer shows up, and all the font is different. There are many other issues with it as well. It’s just a completely different template and I don’t know how to re-do the whole thing.

Is there anyway to just get the actual default template from somewhere and then adjust the width on that one? It sure seems like it’d be a lot easier than going through this process which I cannot seem to get to work. Or is there a blank template from the cloud library?

Hello,

I’ve got Cloud Template installed, but there are hundreds of templates to choose from. I just want my page size (on all pages) to be wider. What template would I need to choose to get this to work? The documentation you have sent me to does not answer my question which is just to make my site wider. I would really appreciate a full answer to this. I have to wait 24 hours between each time I ask a question which means I’m on 72 hours just to do something that would be incredibly simple with most themes.

Hoping to get a complete answer this time …

Thank-you,

Lisa

Hi,

I wish you would give me more information. I went to my home page and clicked on row and set it to stretch to 1200. It does nothing. I can stretch the header and footers fine, but not the content. Also, this really does help explain how I can stretch my internal pages. I can’t go to each and every page and do this. Can you please explain? I see lots of sites with a wider content area, I’d just like to know how to do it too.

thanks,

Lisa
