  Hi Swift,

  I have 3 questions:

  1. I’d like to know how to create an archive page for all the blog posts by months. Can you help me do that?

  2. With the mini blog set up, is it possible to make the image always be on the right hand side instead of one on the right and one of the left?

  3. How do you set up a website as a blog if you don’t put the posts page as the front page in settings->reading? Because in the documentation you say “NOTE: DO NOT set the posts page in Settings > Reading, as this will force your page to show the archive layout, and not follow your created page.”

  Thanks in advance

  Nic

  Hey Nic,

  1) – I will check with the team for this request
  2) Add this:

  .mini-items .blog-item:nth-child(odd) figure {
  float: right;
  margin-right: 0;
  margin-left: 30px;
  }

  3) If you have the options set as default the blog posts will display normally.

  If you need any assistance, please add your URL and login details.

  Thanks,
  David.

  Hey Nic,

  Your first question: is not possible out the box as such. We can put this on the list for a possible future addition.

  Thanks,
  David.

  Hi David,

  Thanks for the fast reply.

  Not setting up the blog page in settings->reading seems to heavily affect SEO though. I am using SEO by Yoast and can’t find my posts anywhere online. Also I posted this about Disqus Comments disappearing for no reason on every post I make http://www.swiftideas.com/forums/topic/disqus-comment-system-disappears-for-ever-post/

  I think it is linked somehow.

  Yet I use Dante Theme on another site and I did set up the blog page in settings>readings there, and everything comes up in searches.

  What do you think?

  Nic

  Hi David,

  I still have two questions:

  1. At the end of a post, in “Share” is it possible to add more than Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest? Like add Google+, Linkedin, Email?

  2. I use Dante on another blog and I created a “Blog” page that I then set up as the front page in setting->reading. I also use SEO by Yoast on that blog. Everything comes up in the search results. However, with Atelier and no blog page set up as the front page, nothing comes up in search results. I can’t even find the posts that were made…

  Are you sure I am not supposed to set the “Blog” page as the front page in setting->reading?

  Best Regards,

  Nic

  Hey,

  1) Rui has made a handy code snippet that you can use in your child theme. Ref: http://www.swiftideas.com/forums/topic/question-regarding-social-sharing-in-posts/#post-181942

  It’s only those 3 by default but you can add more modifying the social function.

  Add this to the functions.php of your child theme and add your social links below the existing ones.

   /* SOCIAL SHARE SHORTCODE
  ================================================= */
  if ( !function_exists( 'sf_social_share' ) ) {
  function sf_social_share( $atts = null ) {
  
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
  "center" => '',
  ), $atts ) );
  
  if ( sf_current_theme() == "atelier" ) {
  global $post;
  $image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
  $page_permalink = urlencode(get_the_permalink());
  $page_title = get_the_title();
  $page_thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
  $page_thumb_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $page_thumb_id );
  $share_output = "";
  
  if ( $center == "yes" ) {
  $share_output .= '
  <div class="sf-share-counts center-share-counts">';
  } else {
  $share_output .= '
  <div class="sf-share-counts">';
  $share_output .= '
  <h3 class="share-text">'.__("Share", 'swift-framework-plugin').'</h3>
  ';
  $share_output .= '<a class="sf-share-link sf-share-fb" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='.$page_permalink.'&height=640&width=660&resizable=0&toolbar=0&menubar=0&status=0&location=0&scrollbars=0"><i class="fa-facebook"></i><span class="count">0</span></a>';
  $share_output .= '<a class="sf-share-link sf-share-twit" href="http://twitter.com/share?text='.$page_title.'&url='.$page_permalink.'&height=640&width=660&resizable=0&toolbar=0&menubar=0&status=0&location=0&scrollbars=0"><i class="fa-twitter"></i><span class="count">0</span></a>';
  $share_output .= '<a class="sf-share-link sf-share-pin" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url='.$page_permalink.'&media='.$page_thumb_url.'&description='.$page_title.'&height=640&width=660&resizable=0&toolbar=0&menubar=0&status=0&location=0&scrollbars=0"><i class="fa-pinterest"></i><span class="count">0</span></a>';
  $share_output .= '
  
  </div>
  ';
  }
  return $share_output;
  } else {
  global $post;
  $image = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
  
  if ( $center == "yes" ) {
  $share_output = '
  <div class="article-share share-center" data-buttontext="' . __( " data-image="' . $image . '"></div>
  ';
  } else {
  $share_output = '
  <div class="article-share" data-buttontext="' . __( " data-image="' . $image . '"></div>
  ';
  }
  
  return $share_output;
  }
  }
  
  add_shortcode( 'sf_social_share', 'sf_social_share' );
  }

  2) Could I take a look at your WP setup? Please post us a login credential.

  Thanks,
  David.

  Thanks for the info David.

  Unfortunately I cannot share the login credential.

  Do I have to create a blog page and then set it as the blog page in “Custom post type” in theme options?

  I am really tempted to just create a page and set it as the main page in settings->reading since it works with Dante.

  Hey,

  You can create us a limited profile with our own creditials then delete it?

  Just to clarify your query, are you saying you cannot search your blog posts when using the WP search?

  Thanks,
  David.

  Hi,

  You would indeed need to customise the integration of the deals and coupons functionality, this could be handled with a 3rd party plugin such as but it would still likely need some minor design/color tweaks:

  1) http://couponcodeplugin.com/
  2) https://wordpress.org/plugins/coupon-creator/
  3) https://wordpress.org/plugins/magic-wp-coupons/

  I would envisage this could be handled fairly easily between you and a developer, we recommend WerkPress.com.

  Thanks,
  David.
