I’m trying to make my post loop on my home page look similar to the one on the UNWIND Demo page.
Couple quick questions:
1. In the slider layout… How can I have the category of my post display between the date and the comments above the headline?
2. In the slider layout… How can I change the color of the text above the headline? I can change the headline font with Custom CSS, but for some reason can’t select the text above.
3. In the grid layout… The publish date of the post is not being displayed. How can I fix this?
Also, the date is not showing on any of my post loop slider or post loop grid?
Hi Alex,
1, 2. I’d like to help you with this, but unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of the support we’re able to offer on our free forums.
We do offer this level of support to our premium users, so if you’d like to upgrade to SiteOrigin Premium, then I can help you over email support.
If you’d prefer not to upgrade to SiteOrigin Premium, then you can hire a WordPress developer from Codeable. They’ll charge you an hourly rate for any work done.
3. I suspect the date may have been disabled. Please navigate to WP AdminAppearanceCustomize, Theme SettingsBlog and ensure Date on single and archive posts is ticked.
If enabling that setting didn’t help, or it was already disabled, do you have a public URL where we can take a look at what’s going on?
I had the “Date on single and archive posts” checked already. The date still doesn’t show
check my post loop grid on the home page here’s my url:
alexmelkonian.com
Now the post loop slider is cut off on mobile
The post loop slider is cut off on mobile and the dates are missing. please help ASAP. This standard widget is functioning completely wrong
The font and button are not adjusting relative to the resolution
And the date no matter what i try doesn’t show.
Hi Alex,
That’s odd. Hm. Is the date present on posts when you open them?
Regardless, please disable Date on single and archive posts, save, reload the customizer.
Enable Date on single and archive posts again, and then save again. Does the date appear now?
The text uses rem to resize. You’ve added some CSS that overrides this which is why it’s not scaling. This CSS has been added to WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS and the relevant CSS is
.flexslider.featured-posts-slider .featured-posts-slides .featured-post-slide .slide-content .entry-title { font-size: 36px; font-weight: 200; line-height: 44px; margin-bottom: -10px; margin-right: -50px; margin-left: -50px; }Specificaly, font-size: 36px; is overriding the scaling.
The button also resizes (albeit much less) it’s text. I would recommend only applying the following CSS you’ve added to desktop:
.flexslider.featured-posts-slider .featured-posts-slides .featured-post-slide .slide-content .entry-button { margin: 40px; }The above CSS can result in the button being unintentionally spaced out and may even, depending on the size of the slider text, cause the button to exceed the height of the slider – this should only happen in extreme cases though.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to replicate the cut off you’re experiencing. Can you please show me a screenshot of what you’re seeing? Please note that we don’t currently support attachments so you’ll need to upload the screenshot to a third party image hosting site like Imgur or vgy.me.
The CSS that I added actually helped fix the issue. My font size on desktop was originally 60px but on mobile it was still 60px and only the first word would show and the button wasn’t visible.
Do you recommend removing all the CSS that you’ve pointed out?
Also the date bug is still there. It only shows for one post on the slider. The other 2 just have ” / category”
The posts show the date once they’re opened.
I fixed the CSS it works and resizes normally now. The main thing I want to fix is the date for the post loop widget. It doesn’t show at all for the post loop grid and only shows for one post on the post loop slider or post loop default templates. Please help fix this bug
Hi Alex,
Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look at your settings?

This is a private message.
Just created and sent. Please look into why the date isn’t showing for all the posts in the post loop slider and the post loop grid. Thanks and keep me updated.
Also, while you’re looking at widget bugs, can you tell me how to make my SiteOrigin Social widget buttons perfect circles? They were perfect circles at one point but now they’re slightly elongated. Thanks
Hi Alex,
I was able to get the Date appearing by following the below steps:
This suggests this was an odd setting “hiccup” that was fixed by re-enabling the setting again.
I’m unsure how the buttons were previously circle but that’s not by design – the buttons are designed to be square. I’d like to help you with this, but unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of the support we’re able to offer on our free forums.
We do offer this level of support to our premium users, so if you’d like to upgrade to SiteOrigin Premium, then I can help you over email support.
If you’d prefer not to upgrade to SiteOrigin Premium, then you can hire a WordPress developer from Codeable. They’ll charge you an hourly rate for any work done.
Date is still not appearing on 2 of the posts in the slider and grid.
Also, how can I make my social media icons perfectly round like on the next.packs.siteorigin.com “Get in touch” section?
OR how can I have my icons in the header look like the ones in the Unwind theme? No circle around the icon
I tried using the jetpack social icons in my layout builder but now that won’t work either! What is going on with these site origin widgets! The layout builder won’t let the jetpack plugin function the way its supposed to. If you can tell me how to fix this issue and get my icons in the header to look identical to the UNWIND Theme I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
Hi Alex,
Can you please link me to the page you’re looking at? I ask as the date in the two post loops on your homepage is working so I suspect you’re referring to an issue on a different page.
If you’re unable to see the above dates, please try clearing your browser cache.
Please open the SiteOrigin Social Media Button widget and open the Design settings group. Set the Rounding setting to Completely Rounded.
Please open the SiteOrigin Social Media Button widget and open the Design settings group. Change the Button theme to Flat and then set each Network Background Color to the same color as your background – the background color adjustment step isn’t required in Unwind due to Custom CSS.
Unfortunately, as you’ve experienced, the Jetpack Social Icons aren’t currently compatible with the layout builder. This is a logged issue and there aren’t any currently available workarounds to this issue. I would recommend using a different widget.
