Thanks. Giving up for now and looking elsewhere.

Thanks Kyle. Mohammad started to respond to my request.
I think the problem might be that the stuff I’m wanting to show doesn’t in an excerpt, and yet globally turning off the excerpt and showing content doesn’t work on a longer post.
Seems like I need the ability to define on a per post basis whether I want it to be an excerpt or content and then have the masonry blog grid honor that.

Here’s what I sent him…………..

Beginning to wonder if this isn’t possible in Dante.
Just noticed that there seems to be an all or nothing manner in how a page treats the excerpts vs content. I guess it seems like the html and shortcode styling disappears in the excerpt mode.

I set this page up to show content not excerpts. I get what I want on the post for Bernstien-Rein internship – I get to see the link, html coloring, line breaks, etc. But all of the other posts are also showing their full content. That’s bad!

On this one, I left everything standard. You can see that the html stuff doesn’t show on the Bernstein-Rein post. That’s not usable either.

Here’s what it looks like on the category archive page for March:

Wondering if there’s some fit in between. Would like to be able to do something when I want to show the short posts like my example, as I have no interest in anyone actually taking the time to click through to get to the blog full view.

In a dream world, I’d like to decide if I want one of the short posts, or I want a long one. I’d also like to NOT have to go in and manually create the category, tag and archive pages with some kind of crazy setup.

Would it be possible to hijack the aside post to use for my short ones?

Thanks!

Yes, but I still don’t see any of the following show up in the blog grid view:
– bullets
– highlight (shortcode)
– colors
– bold
– line breaks

Without being able to see these, or at least some of them, I’m going to have to abandon the theme.

[cbmatthews]

Perfect!!

[cbmatthews]

I used the “highlight shortcode” for AAF-KC website.
I used bold and a color on the next two lines.
Then I added a “list” for the link to a website.

All show in the full page view of the post:
http://www.kedzieadpr.com/2014/02/23/hello-world/

None of that, including line breaks show up in the masonry grid page (it’s the first post).

What am I doing wrong!

[cbmatthews]

Where do I see the “display: none” on the categories that I don’t want it on?

Can you look at my comment above about not seeing the shortcodes or html when I’m viewing a post on a masonry blog view?

Thanks.

[cbmatthews]

Oh, and if I change the code to show the “read more” button, that’s going to impact things on a global basis, correct?

If this is undoable, I understand. But I have most of my posts that the read more button would be perfect for. However, I’m going two of my category pages are really going to be just a series of tiny grid pages with only 30-40 characters on them. Is thee a way to let the read more button pop up on tons of my category pages, but block it from showing on those two?

Is the character limit for what shows up on the masonry blog pages (by category) set at a global level? Any way that I could change that on a per-post or per-category page.

Thanks again. Love the theme.

[cbmatthews]

Thank you for your response. This clears up several of my questions.

However, if I use a shortcode (such as highlight), insert a “list” or use basic html for “strong” or change a color on one of my posts, these are not showing up on the masonry grid pages. What do I need to do to allow those to show up?

Thanks!
