Elements Headers and Custom Post Types: Changing Logo URL, and CSS separator
7 replies · Started by Mark on March 1, 2021
site is 42Freeway.com. Two behavior challenges with CPT archive section.
Started a sub-section Destinations. Kind of like a site within site.
Destinations is a Custom Post Type, created with CPT-UI
Main: https://42freeway.com/
Folder: https://42freeway.com/destinations/
- This is an Archive page to show all destinations posts.
- I used CSS to hide the page title "Archives: Destinations"
Two small questions!
1) Separator CSS on archive
At the main URL I added the CSS below which puts a line between posts on the main page blog archive (from support here). This does not work on my CPT Archive. I was looking at the DOM to see what should be added to CSS... and honestly it looks like it should be .archive, which I have.
.blog .post, .archive .post {
border-bottom: 1px solid #A9A9A9;
}
2) Element Header, change Logo nav URL: The CPT has a new header, really just to change the logo. BUT if someone were to click that logo I want them to stay in the Destinations section. It goes back to main page URL. In elements header there is no field to change that.
Hi there,
1. It doesn't work as CPT doesn't have the post class involved as it's not a "post" post type:

You could try something like this:
.blog .post, .archive .post, .archive .type-destinations {
border-bottom: 1px solid #A9A9A9;
}2. Give this filter a shot:

Leo... thank you!
1) I just put the CSS in and it worked like a charm. Not to diminish from your answer, but now that I see that I'm like "I shouldve figured that out!"
1b) Is my way of doing this "site subsection" legit? consider its the same thing as a newspaper site having Sports and Business sections. (I see you guys get a TON of support request so understand if this question is too involved to get a reply. Sometimes I think too hard)
2) Thank you! I havent put this in yet.. I used to have the code snippets plugin but had recently removed. Have to decide if I want that back again.

I don't understand the question here.
Can you explain a bit more?
Short Summary: Is there a recommended GP way to create a subsection URL (and posts) with the theme.
Such as: https://42freeway.com/destinations/
(I have test posts there now)
More:
I want a subsection of my site, defined by the URL (and maybe style changes).
I did this by creating a custom post type "destinations" using CPT UI plugin and then using a second plugin "Custom Post Type Permalinks", I routed the destinations posts to the sub URL section.
Was this a good way of doing?
really just curious if you guys have prior recommendations on this or an immediate idea. I kind of think this is outside the norms of standard support requests. ha!
And I am very impressed you are keeping up with this!
CPT should be the way to go for that :)
ty. closing this out. now I am working on styling the posttype page... which I think I need a child theme setup. I'll have other questions in a new post. ha
Sounds good :)
