    I am trying to set up a blog which will be the company News on the site.

    NEWS POST (Add new post)
    How do I remove the Author and Categories from appearing? Do I need to edit the single.php file?
    I do not see any templates for a post that give layout options. Where do I set this? All I see is ‘Select Post Layout’ with 3 options: Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar, No Sidebar. Whereas your demo seems to have quite a few options.

    NEWS PAGE (Blog list)
    If I set up a NEWS page to display all posts, I do not see any templates that give layout options for this.
    Where do I set the ‘excerpt text’ so only a short amount of text is shown on a post list page?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    if you want to remove author and categories from your options when you edit post, look at the right top button named “Screen Options”. Click on that and you will check or uncheck what you need.

    If you need to remove author and categories on single post from frontend, you can do that by open your style.css
    (you can find it here \wp-content\themes\salamat\style.css)

    and on line 2940 you have this code:

    .post_content .post_author_single{
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #b5b8c0;
    font-style: italic;
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;
    width: 60%;
    margin-left: 20px;
    }

    Just change display: inline-block; to display: none;

    Please see attachment picture.

    Also if you want to remove author and categories on all posts,
    in style.css go to line 2922 where you have this code:

    .post_content .post_author{
    	display: block;
    	font-size: 14px;
    	text-align: center;
    	color: #b5b8c0;
    	font-style: italic;
    	padding: 0 40px;
    	margin-bottom: 13px;
    }

    Change display: block; to display: none;

    When you go to your Dashboard/Posts/Categories and click on View on some category (for example Blog Right Sidebar), in this theme when you edit Category you can select just Blog Layout via drop-down menu.

    Unfortunately, this theme do not have “excerpt text” option for post list page and this would require a lot of customization. We do not support customizations. You can insert Excerpt when you edit your post through “Screen Options”, but it will show that text in post list page only at that post.

    Let us know if you need anything else :)

    Kind regards

    Thanks for that.

    I have added a post with a category.

    But I do not seem to understand how to use the template for a news/blog list page (please review links attached).

    And I would like the news stories to be:
    http://www.nameofsite.com/news/title-of-story/

    I am struggling to get the blog list page to look great, like your demo examples.

    Also, wondering why the logo does not show up in Footer, but does on home page?

    Sorry. Didn’t realise the issue. The security has been removed, as the site is now live.

    I am developing on the Staging site to add the News section, which you should be able to login to now :)

    Hi,

    for footer logo the problem is because wrong link is pasted. When you want to add any image from Media, upload image to Media and then edit that image. On right side you will see file url and that is what you need to paste in widget in HTML. Off course, we did this for you, but it’s just to know how to do it in the future :)

    For blog: for example, we added new post named “New post for testing”. You added category “Media Release” and now when you go to Posts/Category and view that category you can see that Timeline layout is working fine. So, please add more posts and all would look fine.

    Also, we added category “Test Category” where we added Right Sidebar layout and where we set “New post for testing 2” and “New post for testing 3”.
    When you go to Categories and view Test Category you can see that Right Sidebar works fine, but we also set some content for example to Primary Sidebar in Widgets.

    I hope this help you :)

    Cheers

    Thanks so much for all your help, and for fixing things!

    I think I also had an issue with having a page named ‘News’ and a ‘News’ category, same URL. Got rid of the page, and the posts now show.

    My only comment is, there should be a way to just show the post excerpt or post title, rather than displaying the whole post story.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    we are glad to help you and thank you for purchase our theme! :)

    Unfortunately, this theme does not support that option, but if you want display just one post you can only add a new category (for example Nature), and then edit Posts element through The Creator and just add Nature category to element. Don’t forget to assign your post to that category. Now just that one post will be displayed.

    Kind regards
