[Support request] Customize Post Format-Status

[Bastian]

Hi Tom,

ss requested attached a new contribution for my desire 🙂
I just revised my family blog (http://www.bastian-oelkuch.de/) and want to customize the post format ‘Status’.

I have uploaded a screenshot here:

Probably a child theme needs to be created, but I’m not that “good”.
I can change the stylesheet but PHP is not one of my strenght.

Can you help me how to get to the desired result?

Cheers
Bastian

Hi Bastian,

Sorry I’m not quite sure what you are after here. Are there two things that you wanted? One is the special styling for quote and the other one the date to link to the post single?

Can you please explain a little more? Thanks!

[Tom]

You can target the status post format with some CSS:

.format-status .inside-article {
    background-color: #FFF;
    color: #222;
}

Then just adjust the colors/CSS as needed 🙂

Hi Tom,

thanks for the Information with the css 🙂

I managed to change the color and the font: http://www.dropbox.com/s/zwh8f11bkr4a8d1/format-status-version-2.jpg?dl=0

I have unfortunately no idea how I still get the date as well as the author in the post.
My assumption was that there is a content-status.php there, which I can simply expand with the corresponding PHP code?
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I also is not clear as GeneratePress decides when a title, etc. should come and when not?

Cheers
Bastian

The status format is meant for quick ideas/thoughts, it doesn’t have meta like regular posts.

If you’d like to change that, shoot me a link to your site and I should be able to help 🙂
