Blog Post features

[jamesdshort]

There are three separate issues:

First, How can I have the post title show up at the top of the post? Right now, it is only visible through the themes Page Title option. It needs to be Above the text “Posted by James Short on September 9…” etc.

Second, is there a default general setting to disable “share this article” bar? I believe it is called “social share” within a post. But, I am posting from email using the Postie plug-in so I need it to be disabled for all posts.

Third, how can I add navigational buttons?

I am surprised there aren’t more customization options for the blog in the theme itself. Am I missing them? Please advise.

Thanks in advance for your help! Classes start Monday so I’m trying to get everything set up.

Hi,

1)

Are you referring to a single post template?

You will need to activate your child theme and create a file called single.php. Within that file, you will need to copy this code: http://pastie.org/private/ntqnt8qreuuleyy0q5kvkw.

Then add this custom CSS to your theme options which will hide the usual single post title bar:

.single-post .page-heading {
    display: none;
}

2)

There is not an option for this, I’ll report this back to the team and see if we can get it added.

To remove the social share, this $show_social = false; will need to be added to the single.php file. (I have already done this for you in the above code link)

I have a child theme activated already.

So, to clarify: I need to create a txt file called single.php and paste the 453 lines of code you provided in it?

In what folder do I place that file?

Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, you have to do it. Just insert the single.php at root child theme directory.
Thanks
