Thanks.

I have installed the Cloud Plugin, but how does it help me to change the category tag in MY loop template from my wordpress installation (or MY single template, for that matter, if I wanted to change my single post template)?

Aside from the fact that my homepage is not an static page, as far as I can see the plugin does not allow me to pick templates (neither the loop nor the single one) from my installation to be edited through the tagDiv Composer, or does it?

Thanks again

Thank you, Simion!

Ah, ok. But… I activate it and deactivate it and nothing seems to change anywhere… (homepage, category pages, post…).

I think I don’t understand what it’s supposed to do…

Worked well, thanks… Except with 320 widths, where the title is dividev in two lines. So, I came up with this modification, which seem to work:

@media (max-width: 767px)
div.td-header-sp-info {
width: 60% !important; /* More width to the container */
margin-left: 0;
position: fixed;
left: 21%;
right: 10%;
top: 14px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 200%; /* Adjust the size with respect to the container’s */
}

I dont know if the best possible, solution, though.
By the way, “right 10%” do something?

Thanks

Oh, sorry! I had omitted the “a” selector! Works now.

Thank you!

That works perfectly… but now the menu and the search icon can’t be selected! (Ha, Ha!).

No, but now I see that’s a previous unnotice issue: if I change it back to absolute, the menu and the search can be selected BUT ONLY AFTER SCROLLING the screen (inspecting it, I see that this div has 100% width and might be “covering” those buttons…)

It’s strange…

Commenting this:

/* .tdm-menu-active-style5 .tdm-header .td-header-menu-wrap .sf-menu>.current-menu-item>a {
background-color: inherit;
color: inherit;
} */

…this code (with !important) does not work (does not mantain the active custom color, and returns to the Nespaper’s default):

#menu-principal-1 > .menu-item-131 > a:hover, .current-menu-item.menu-item-131 {
background-color: brown !important;
color: white !important;
}

I made something wrong?

Because it could be useful for someone else and as a kind of clausure, after reading all your references I want you to know that I choose to work with the child style.css file and Notepadd++, copying styles as needed from my “historic” migueldimase.css file, instead of queueing it (to prevent performance issues, etc.)

What I mainly wanted was to be able to use an external editor AND an insurance against the possibility that an upgrade or some malfunction stepped on my custom styles, using a file that “did not belong” to the theme.

Thanks again for your assistance, Simion.

Ah, the .current-menu-item CAN be followed by an item reference and this move out the “active” selector… Perfect.

By the way, doesn’t again if a remove the instructions:

.tdm-menu-active-style5 .tdm-header .td-header-menu-wrap .sf-menu>.current-menu-item>a {
background-color: inherit;
color: inherit;
}

Is this the way it should be done or is there a better way of “nulling” the default current-menu-item behaviour?

Thank you, Simion!

Yes, finally I decided to place the title in the top bar in big screens.

Yes! Exactly that it’s what I needed in mobiles. Thanks!

When scrolling the screen up, however, the title disappears. It re-appears when scrolling all the way down to the begining of the post/page/home or when the menu is pressed. Can be fixed?

Thanks again, Simion.

Focusing now in the mobile version, could I change at least the img.td-retina-data logo shown at the middle of the td-header-menu for a text? (for example, the alternative text, which could be the site title)

No… I couldn’t do it…

Thanks for the suggestion and code about how to have the title below the header.

Yes, you’re right, the “selected title” was a problem, altough I thought there was an additional problem. But because of that I had said that the height of the menu buttons might be decreased enough to alocate the title on top of them (in the container which contains the menu’s container, for example; I don’t know).

I’ll try that…

Thank you very much.

May I ask you, however, why do you say that having the title -centered- inside the header and above the menu may not be the best solution? I’d really like not be forced to display the Top bar in mobiles…

Thanks again

Yes, but the problem still is that the Top bar will not show in mobiles.
But with somethink alike your solution:

#menu-principal-1:before {
content: “Escritos y lecturas”}

I achieved this: http://migueldimase.com/

¿How can I center this title WITHIN the header? (remeber: I don’t want to increase the header’s height).

Thanks

Thanks for answering, Bogdan.

Yes, accross the whole site.

One solution I thought of was to create an additional element with the title tag in the secondary menu, which it’s in the Top bar (I’m using Header Style 1 – Multipurpose and Top bar Style 1). Then format that element (center it, change its font to a larger one, etc.) through CSS, BUT it would not appear in the mobiles’ main screen because the Top bar and the secondary menu are hidden in that cases.

I suppose I could use the space reserved for the ads in some header styles (may be “widgetizing” it with some plugin), but in my preferred style I haven’t got that space to the right anyway (http://migueldimase.com/).

Another way would be to add another bar between the Top bar and the header, just for the title. The downside would be a longer (higher) header, which I don’t like.

So, I think the ideal place would be INSIDE the header without making the header it bigger, in top of the main menu (may be decreasing its height a bit) where “Writings and readings” (the name of my site) could be displayed (in a line not too much higher/longer than the Top bar’s height).

But, ¿how can it be done?

Thanks again.

Thank you.

Yes, I know, but even having a child, I want to keep a css file outside the theme (migueldimase.css) because the edition is much faster, I can use my favorite editor (Notepadd++), etc. That’s why I asked you how can I do that?

Perfect, that worked. Thank you.
So, a fix to consider: the active, out-of-the-box blog page template (M15) must be boxed/selected/marked after installing the theme. This lack was the origin of my problem, because I couldn’t know which template to choose in the categories to look the same as the blog page.

Thanks again, Simion.

Thanks for your answer, Simion:

1) In Theme panel->Template settings->Blog and post template, there is NO template selected (it’s a pitty that this editor doesn’t allow to attach images directly), but there is no module “boxed” (as in your image it’s the M18). In adddition, NO module type (Mx) seems to correspond with the way the default Newspaper blog page displays the articles. SO, I couldn’t select “the same” module/template as the blog page anyway.

2) I don’t want to change the way the blog page shows the posts by selecting a different Mx module AND by selecting later the same module in the categories, EVEN IF the categories showed the same as the blog page then, BECAUSE I REPEAT MY ORIGINAL NEED: that my categories show THE SAME WAY THE PAGE BLOG SHOWS NOW, which seems to correspond to no module the users can reach, as far I can see… If, on the other hand, I am wrong, please tell me which is the module that corresponds to the blog page as shown NOW (“out of the box” Newspaper). By the way, it’s not the M18 module boxed in your image (although I assume that you used that one just as an example, becasue it’s nothing like the way the blog page looks “out of the box” AND because the categories do not look like the blog page when I change them to the M18 module…).

3) Thanks for your additional suggestion, but I currently don’t want/need a static homepage.

4) With respect to the placeholder images shown now in the category pages, I repeat what I said preemptively in my previous comment: if the solution is establishing a feature image for every post and, on top of that, establishing the proper size of its miniatures relative to the module chosen, I don’t want / I can’t do that now. I just want/need that the category pages show/behave IDENTICAL to the blog page, where images are shown perfectly! By the way, that should be the DEFAULT category look/behaviour in ANY theme: if nothing is touched, they should look/behave as the main page/loop but with fewer (only its) posts!

5) Saying it, again, in other words: my category pages should look as mere FILTERS of the blog page, showing just the proper/latest/all/whatever CATEGORY articles, but in exactly the same way/look/style/design as the out-of-the-box Newspaper blog page looks now, in which case there would be no need to establish feature images (which it’s my main goal), because I DID NOT established any of them in the posts that are currently displayed pefectly in the blog page which it’s using their main images just fine, as it was in my old theme!

6) Of course there is A way of doing this in ANY theme, but I just didn’t buy a theme to begin to work in something like this right from the beginning touching/cloning PHPs, etc. What is the BEST way of doing this in Newspaper?

Thanks again, Simion.
