[Support request] About mediavine

[matt]

Is generate press wordsmith theme or any other generate press theme compatible with mediavine ads?

[Fernando]

Hi Matt,

Not sure about this, but I believe Mediavine requires specific widths for ad locations. For instance, we’ve had customers needing to set their sidebar to a width of 300px for Mediavine ads. If so, any template should be compatible with a little customization. Possibly, we’ll need some custom CSS, but we can help with this if needed.

Thanks yea I just want to know ahead of time. My site is new. I have wordsmith theme. Also how do I add the following

Categories, recent posts, and about me with a picture in the right side bar on front page?

How do I add the about me with a picture at the bottom of each blog post?

How do I add recent and next post at the bottom of each blog post?

How do I get rid of the email side bar on the front page?

[matt]

Also I don’t want the mail chimp plug-in or lightweight social media icons plug-in because I don’t use email or social media. Can I opt out of those. Also can I get rid of the social media icons on the front page

1. You can use a Block Element for all of these. There’s a WordPress Category Block for the category list, you can use a GenerateBlocks Query Loop Block for recent Posts, and here’s a video tutorial sample of an about me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E7zFl678kg

2. Here’s a video you may refer to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x6CjGOyag

3. You may use a Block Element – Post Navigation: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-navigation/

4. Can you provide the link to your site for reference?

5. Yes, you can remove those if you want. You can delete the Social Media icons in Appearance > Widgets > Top Bar.

[David]

Hi there,

go to Customizer > Site Identity.
Enter your Site Title.
Uncheck the Hide Site Title.

Remove the Logo.
Note – if the logo still displays temporarily add an image to the Logo and the Retina Logo. Publish the changes and then delete the logos.

[matt]

i deleted the widget where it says want to stay in touch but when i go into the site again to customize it its still there. then i go back to widgets and its still there like i never erased it

[David]

For the Menu – do you always want to show the three menu items in a row? even on mobile?
if so:

1. Go to Customizer > Layout > Primary Navigation and set the Mobile Menu Breakpoint to 0

For the Main image you can edit the Homepage and change that Container Blocks background – see here:
