[Resolved] Blog Viewing Customization

[Daniel]

Mostly what I’m hoping for is just Example 2 in this documentation you shared a while back:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-examples/

The specific image isn’t too important, just that there is one. Each of the blog posts has a featured image, and I have a fallback specified in the Elements section. I have the “Disable Featured Image” checked though, like it was in the video. Should I uncheck that?

Are there any specific options I should check or uncheck in the post? Currently they are all sitting on default. Most of the pages on the site are Content – No Sidebars and Full Width Container.

I’ve disabled the plugins as well.

So the only thing you want in the page hero is the featured image?

If the page hero content is currently empty, make sure to add <!--This is a comment. Comments are not displayed in the browser--> so the picture shows up.

Well, the hero image, and maybe the blog title and post date.

I set up my element by following the video tutorial here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-overview/

I have followed the video along and within the content I had:
<h1>
{{post_title}}
</h1>

{{post_author}} | {{post_date}}

Same as the video.

No matter what changes I make to the element, it seems to have absolutely no influence over the design of any of the posts. I have display rules set to Post > All Posts, and there are no exclusions.

[Daniel]

My bad with the formatting there, some of the code got taken out:

<h1>
{{post_title}}
</h1>
<div class="hero-meta">
{{post_author}} | {{post_date}}
</div>

Hey Leo,

I think I figured it out. It had to do with the other element (the regular transparent menu) interacting with this one. I disabled that for all blog posts, and it seems to be much closer to what I was expecting now. I will play around with this for a little bit to see if I can get this how I’d like it.

Thanks,

[Leo]

Glad you’ve figured out 🙂

I’ll mark this topic as resolved now.

Feel free to open a new topic if you run into more problems.

[Daniel]

Okay, I think I should be able to get it to the point I want it now.

Thank you for putting up with me! I appreciate the support.

[Leo]

No problem 🙂
