Blog categories and bugs

[markmuz]

HI Guys,

1. Blogs – I have created a category of blog called “Featured” and pull this through onto my homepage which works great. But when you go to my main blog page, “Featured” also pulls through as a filter. Is there any way to remove this option but isn’t really a category of of blog from being displayed as a filter please? …or a different way to pull through specific blog articles onto the homepage? http://www.prettygoodproject.org/blog/

2. Your latest template update seems to have hidden the icons which give you the ability to edit / duplicate / delete text blocks which is so frustrating. please can you sort this out because it makes editing ridiculously difficult because I have to go into the text editor then I’m not sure what code can be deleted or not (see attached screenshot)

3. Product page ( http://www.prettygoodproject.org/product/nimble/) – This was something I got help with before but I didn’t really get a resolution that works. The screenshot shows the product description with “Read more information” which when clicked I want it to scroll down to the details further down the page so I added a tag to the show which does work when you use this URL http://www.prettygoodproject.org/product/nimble/#ProductDescriptionOne SO I’ve made the anchor to the row, the “Read more information” link just doesn’t scroll me down. How can I fix this please?

1) You want to remove the ‘Featured Blog post’ from the filter?

2) Please clear your browser cache, I cannot replicate this on my dev version. Are both your theme and Swift Framework plugin updated?

3) You link to a Row ID only. Each Row must have a unique name/id. You then link to that using a hyperlink <a href="#row-id">Link</a>

1. Yes I would like to remove it from the filter, but still keep it as a category I think because I need a way to pull through specific blog posts to the homepage.

2. I am on the most up to date version of Swift builder, WP and the template. Clearing my cashe seems to have sorted the issue for most elements, but not the image banner which still wont let me edit it at all 🙁

3. thank you

…in other news, on http://testsite.thelevelcollective.co.uk/

I am getting the error message “Notice: class-wp-upgrader-skins.php is deprecated since version 4.7.0! Use class-wp-upgrader.php instead. in /home/thelevel/public_html/testsite/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3957”

My hosts are saying it’s a issue with the template, but I am on the very latest version 🙁

3. …this still doesn’t seem to work with the “Read more information” …the link text put the correct link in the browser but it doesn’t scroll down. But if I then reload the page, it does.

1)

a.featured-blog-post {
    display: none !important;
}

2) Please link me to this WP edit page.

3) Please test updating the code from this:

<a href="#ProductDescriptionOne">Read more information</a>

To this:

<a class="smooth-scroll-link" href="#ProductDescriptionOne">Read more information</a>

4)

Notice: class-wp-upgrader-skins.php is deprecated since version 4.7.0! Use class-wp-upgrader.php instead. in /home/thelevel/public_html/testsite/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3957

– this is likely a plugin. Not the theme itself.

Thanks.

Hey David,

1. Thank you – all sorted

2. Seems to have sorted itself out now 🙂

3. this updated code you sent me now works perfectly thank you

4. Righto

…unfortunately a new problem has arisen when I’m trying to do the simple task of just adding some text to a blog post. I just want to add a simple line in between each paragraph. See screenshots attached. On the “Visual view” I add a line of spacing (which for some reason adds 2 lines ugh!)…but actually adds nothing to the code. I need this to work for my client to make it simple for her to add blog posts.

If I go to the “text” view, I then add <br/> in the code…it works but creates 2 lines spacing which just looks stupid. What’s going on here and why isn’t such a simple thing working. It’s very frustrating!

The page I’m trying to make look good is http://www.prettygoodproject.org/featured-blog-post/hygglig-christmas/

admin page http://www.prettygoodproject.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=341&action=edit

Thanks

Mark

A line would be:

<hr>

Sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear.

I want my next to go onto the next line, I do not want a LINE (which is created by <hr>)

Why is the visual view not working? e.g. I press enter to make the text go onto the next line and visually it adds 2 lines of spacing (i only want 1), but in the text/code view it doesn’t do anything…so when I save it and reload the page, it has done nothing

The theme does not interact with the editor, this is simply WordPress default content output filtering. A blank space will be interpreted differently in the visual editor vs the text editor depending on which one is active on Save.

Thanks.
