Any chance you have a draft of what will be going here?

http://dev.themeblvd.com/tutorial/editing-post-and-page-meta-boxes/

and/or is there other documentation that might help?

[sharonq]

I’ve looked at the file and this is the line that seems to need editing:

<?php themeblvd_blog_meta(); ?>

If I remove it the meta data disappears.
If I move it the meta data goes elsewhere

What I would like to do is to just display the date – no author, comments number, categories

What should I replace themeblvd_blog_meta() with?

<?php
/**
 * The default template for displaying content in post list.
 */
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<header class="entry-header">
		<h1 class="entry-title entry-title-with-meta"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
	<?php themeblvd_blog_meta(); ?>
	</header><!-- .entry-header (end) -->
	<div class="entry-content">
		<?php themeblvd_the_post_thumbnail( themeblvd_get_att( 'location' ), themeblvd_get_att( 'size' ) ); ?>
		<?php themeblvd_blog_content( themeblvd_get_att( 'content' ) ); ?>
		<?php themeblvd_blog_tags(); ?>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div><!-- .entry-content (end) -->
</article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->

I was afraid you were going to say that…. I was hoping I had missed a dialogue box…..

Thanks

Thanks Jason

Yep – that’s the culprit

1.0.4

with plugin disabled the slideshow works – though of course now I have no columns…

I moved it to a staging area and turned off all non TB plugins:

Still no slider in Builder

[sharonq]

Other than Themeblvd it has:”
Askimet, Yoasts SEO plus Full Width Background slider and Complete Gallery Manager (both on codecanyon).

[sharonq]

so…. any eta on updates – would love to see the new post_slider

[sharonq]

Thanks Angela

If you are building a wish list I could use this too….

Jason Thanks for the tip on where to dig… so…. bootstrap gives me a bunch of CSS that I can use and then you add more on top. I thought that the TB shortcodes were just a simpler way to implement bootstrap but this looks more like the TB codes are based on your own CSS.

BTW – Where does “tight” come in to play? is it part of the shortcodes or something I would use with a or….

Angela – thanks for letting me piggyback on your thread to ask about this

Is it in the TB shortcode options because it is available on other themeblvd themes or just so that the shortcodes are ready for when it is released?

[sharonq]

Jason – just an info question – how does JS do columns? Bootstrap is based on a 12 column grid so I thought that I needed a fraction that could be x/12 – but a 30/70 split has nothing to do with 12 so obviously the grid is different.

What is the basic grid you are using?

Thanks for such a thorough response – I really appreciate it. WP seems to have some unique ways of doing things. I am using 140 x 140 sized thumbs as my “featured” or normal thumb – and I adjusted my general media settings for that – to accomodate the gallery on my front page (www.teamsfirst.ca).

In the directory listing each item also gets a thumbnail and the 140 size is too large and the sizes provided by JS are too small (feeling a bit like Goldielocks here….). I don’t want to mess with the sizes already set by JS so would like to add one more crop size.

I have to admit the concept of hooks and filters still eludes me somewhat.

To me it is like my html is built on a skeleton – but instead of simply building an html file from top to bottom each piece is labelled – eyes then nose then mouth – and by using those labels I can add in pieces of code. If I can fit what I want to do into the labels that already exist tha’t great – but if I need to add a label – say moustache between nose and mouth then it gets a bit murky for me. In addition there are a whole other set of codes that are used to build the bacfkground of my person = his height, weight, favorite color – which are not linear and all come before the body – and that is the space that my image sizes belong – and that is still very unclear to me.

My understanding of thumbnails is that each time WP imports an image it actually creats a bunch of them – in the original WP there were 5 sizes – original, small, med, large and thumbnail, JS has added to this set so even more images are created – WP does this to speed up image loading. In the past thumbs would load the full size image but only display a minuature – and galleries could bring the speed of a page load to it’s knees.

I have noticed that when I change the default thumbnail size it seems to change instantly on my site – and adding the new TB thumbnail also worked instantly without a rebuild – so something changed with wp 3.5 – and I’m definately not clear about which image sizes are being built “on the fly” and which ones need to be rebuilt.

Anyway – thanks again for your input and advice. Jason is so helpful on this support forum but for someone like me with just html it’s easy to get confused.

I tried <pre> and it didn’t work for some reason.

Can I just check my understanding of this:

function my_google_verification(){
	echo '';
}

this means I am creating a function called my_google_verification and that function will do “echo…”

then I hook that function to the wp-head with this:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_google_verification' );

wp-head has already been defined in the theme.

If I have more to add to the area should I create new functions for each and hook them in one by one?
