Blog post format questions

[QuenchStudio]

I have a few questions about the blog/post setup:

1. On the post page there are options for format: Standard, Aside, Chat, Quote, Status – do you have examples of what these look like? Which choice to make?

2. I don’t want to show the Author information at the end of the article, but when I opt to Not show it, the Comments, heart, categories and tags go away – I’d like to keep those, is there a way to do that?

3. The difference between the regular “Recent Post widget” “Swift Recent Post widget” and “Recent post element in the swift page setup”. When choosing any of these I get different results. I’d like to have the one with blog title, info and thumbnail.

4. The blog featured image – no matter what option I choose becomes huge and full width above the article. I’d like it to sit within a column next to the side column with other blog type info. Is there a way to do this. When I don’t have a featured image, I can get an image to sit correctly, but a thumbnail doesn’t show up.

I hope this isn’t confusing.

Thanks,
Kendall

Hi

1) These are default WordPress now

2) Add this to your custom css:

.author-info-wrap {
  display: none;
}
.post-info {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

3) Yes these are all styled differently, you can see the recent posts element here:

Recent Posts

4) So you want your image to position like this: http://cardinal.swiftideas.com/magazine-demo/eb-flow/
If so go to the post meta options and for the ‘Media Display’ select standard (see screenshot)

Thanks for answering the questions. I will try the CSS code for the author info. Problem with #4 is that I’ve set up the pages with a sidebar – but using columns vs. actual sidebar – easier for the client to stay on one page and add info vs. having to go to the widgets panel. See it here: http://www.prsaboston.net/prsa-preview/why-apr/ the top image is the featured image placement, everything below is using page elements.

So the issue is that I need to have a featured image chosen because it needs to show everywhere else blog posts are mentioned. But I don’t want it to show on the actual post because of how we are doing the pages and how it looks even though I have Standard chosen. Is there some CSS code that can hide the featured image from the post page?

Thanks,
Kendall

You can set ‘detail media’ to none to remove the image on posts
