Possible to customize circle icons?

I’m wondering if it is possible to customize the circle icons to remove the “more info” link at the bottom – basically the title and image linked to the page is enough – no additional text below the icon is wanted by the client. Is there a way to do this?

Also, another question – I’m using the “recent posts” widget in pagebuilder to list a the latest blog post, which in this case is actually going to be whatever the topic of the upcoming service is. Is there anyway to include more of the actual text of the post that follows instead of just a hyperlinked title and date for the post? Maybe it is a different widget I need to use here or perhaps there is a plug-in that might work better. I would ideally like a snipped of the post linking to that post. You will see what I mean when you look at the homepage (URL listed with this post).

Thanks for your help. LOVE your theme :)

    Hi Maureen

    Thanks for running Vantage.

    You can hide the Circle Icon widget more link by inserting the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Hide Circle Icon More Link */

.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box a.more-button { display: none; }

    Perhaps try the Post Loop widget instead. That widget allows use of the more tag so you could choose, in that way, how much text to display. (http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/).

    Thanks Andrew… the custom css worked perfect! I will try the post loop – I actually thought about using that widget but had a problem when I first tried it and lost most of my page somehow. I just learned of another widget that might work too. Thanks again!

    Hi Andrew – Quick question… I did put in the Post Loop widget and that works better but I really don’t want the “next” and “previous” post buttons – can you tell me how to get rid of those or where I would find out? Thanks again!

    Glad to hear you’re making progress. Head to Appearance > Theme Settings > Navigation and un-check the Post Navigation setting to remove the next and previous buttons.

    I tried that – you can see what I’m talking about at maureenkellydesign.com/uutest. There is a “continue reading” at the bottom of the post and then a “1” and “2” and “Next” button below the “continue reading” button. What I’m trying to do is just have a snippet of the post on the homepage, but no references to earlier posts – just the most recent. Any ideas?

    For sure. Pagination (the 1 and 2) is a different navigation item than the previous and next navigation which only appears on single post pages, this is the reason that setting isn’t working here.

    Inserting the following under Appearance > Custom CSS will hide the Post Loop widget pagination.

    .widget_siteorigin-panels-postloop .pagination {
display: none;
}
