Vantage theme, Blog Style Two

By Birgit, 9 years ago. Last reply by Magus, 9 years ago.

Hi,

I am using the Blog Style Two Widget, which is great. Alltough, I still need to make some small adaptions …

1. Overview Blog Page – Infos about Admin, Date …

– I would like to delete “by Admin | 6. Juni 2015 |”. How can I do that? (Categories should stay there as they are)
– There is a double line underneath the “by Admin …”-text. Is it possible, just to have one thin line, instead of the double line?

2. Overview Blog Page – Read more

– Is there any possibility to change that to READ more?
– How to adjust the text size to the other READ more-Links on that page?
.sow-features-list .sow-features-feature p:last-child {
font-family: “Roboto”;
font-size: 13px;

3. Overview Blog Page – Border

The border around the preview should be like all the borders on that page: 1px solid #D3D3D3
Right now it border on the bottom seems to be thicker than the other borders around. Is there any possibility to have all the same thickness?

4. Blog Page – Navigation

Underneath each Blog page you find the navigation (box with arrow and blog title) to the next blog or to the blog before. How to change this to a simple text link, without a box, the grey background …?

Guys, again, thank you!!!

Cheers,

Birgit

    Hi Birgit

    Unfortunately the Blog 2 Widget is not part of Our bundle. It is a third party add on. The author has recently updated it to include styling options. Please check if you have the latest version installed. If so please try contacting the author through his support pages as he would be best placed to deal with your questions..

    One question left … Can you recommend any other plugin for blog styles? Thank you again!

    Hi Birgit

    I have had a look around and can find no other plugins which will give you alternate layouts of a post loop.

    Sorry I cannot be of more help.

    Hi Birgit

    Please try adding the following to your custom CSS

    .widget_blog-style-two .meta {
        font-size: 0px;
    }
    .widget_blog-style-two .meta a {
        font-size: 13px;
    }
    .so-widget-blog-style-two .blog_two_style .content .border {
        border-bottom-style: none;
    }
    .so-widget-blog-style-two .blog_two_style .content p {
        display: none;
    }
    .so-widget-blog-style-two .blog_two_style .content .pull-left {
        text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    .widget_blog-style-two .auto_height {
        height: 500px !important;
    }
    

    It is not possible to alter only the first word to uppercase for READ more so I have had to change the entire line to uppercase. I have also added a entry at the bottom to reduce the height of the elements to remove empty space left behind by hiding the content.

    I added your lines in the custom CSS ­ and it WORKED!!!
    YOU ARE AMAZING!!! … I can´t tell you how much you did for me!!!
    THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!

    Only one thing happened. The catagory-words have no spacing anymore. See:
    http://www.birgitlang.at/read/referenzen-aktuelles/

    And the last thing: The pictures are not equal. Is there no ³automatic cropping/sizing² behind? Or is there any solution to make them same size?

    And now the most important: How can I make a donation? Shall I ³buy² another
    Vantage theme?

    Warmly,

    from a happy Birgit :-)))

    Hi Birgit

    It is difficult to get them all the same, with the aspect rations being different, without image distortion.

    Using this will crop the images to fit in both directions.

    .widget_blog-style-two .meta a::after {
        content: " , ";
    }
    
    .blog_two_style .main .image {
        max-height: 200px !important;
        max-width: 333px;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
    
    .blog_two_style .main .image img {
        height: auto;
        zoom: 1.15;
    }
    

    Because of the image change you can also change the final entry in the previous CSS to this

    .widget_blog-style-two .auto_height {
        height: 400px !important;
    }
    

    If you really want to make another donation, please visit

    Once you have done this please email us on [email protected] to let us know what you have done and include the email address from your original purchase. We will then apply the increase to your account.

    Hi Birgit

    It seems that this method will only work on Internet Explorer

    .blog_two_style .main .image img {
        height: auto;
        zoom: 1.15;
    }
    

    The only other option to get them all the same size I am afraid will be to make sure that all your featured images are the same dimensions. At the moment there are several different sizes being used and that is causing your issue.

    Once you have done this you can adjust the box sizes to get the spacing to be correct by adjusting the height of the auto-height element from my last entry.

    Hi Magus,

    I got the same problem, but I am using the “blog style one” widget. Is it also administrated by third party? But my problem is change the language, from english to portuguese. I tried change on POT file, but it wasn’t any “read more” expression on it.

    If you have any think for me, I’ll appreciate it!

    Thanks

      Hi Joao Paulo Arruda Dias

      Yes, Blog Style one is part of the same package.

      I see that you have already requested support from the author with this. I am afraid that this is your only solution in this case.
