Hi!
I tried to add header to category pages and date archive pages. I followed your docs but it’s from 2017.
“Adding Page Headers to Taxonomies”. I think I figured it out anyway but something is missing because there is no change. I want a full width light yellow color header background in the same way as my pages.instead a new error appeared. When I visit either a category page or a date archive page the footer widget number 4 has changed position vertically.
How to fix these things? See links below
December 20, 2020 at 2:14 pm #1588517LeoStaffCustomer SupportHi there,
The article you’ve checked is likely too old.
Can you try using a header element instead? Here is all the relevant info:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-overview/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-hero-examples/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/how-to-create-a-page-hero/The display rules you need would be: Post Category Archives.
Let me know if this helps ๐
December 20, 2020 at 11:06 pm #1588738AndersI followed the guides but it doesn’t work. I can not see the light yellow background.
And the widget 4 is still in the wrong position.
See screenshots and links below. It’s in Swedish but for the “rules” I chose:
post category archive
date archiveDecember 21, 2020 at 4:54 am #1589060DavidStaffCustomer SupportHi there,
the 4th footer widget misalignment is because of this CSS that is in the Customizer > Additional CSS:
.archive .widget_recent_entries { margin-top: 60px; margin-bottom: 60px; }
Delete that to fix the alignment.
The header element – do you have any Content added to the Header Elements text area ?
There has to be some content for it to display, if you just want the background color then add a HTML Comment like so:<!-- archive hero -->
Comments won’t display on the front end but will make the element display.
December 21, 2020 at 5:33 am #1589106AndersThanks, yes the widget was wrongly targeted in my CSS so that fixed it, great!
The other problem remains. No matter what I do I see no change. I even added a bockground image but it did not display.
I added the comment as you suggested but no change
I also added this code, but no change
<!– archive hero –>
{{post_terms.taxonomy}}December 21, 2020 at 6:58 am #1589406DavidStaffCustomer SupportThere is a possible Header Element conflict, if you have multiple Header Elements that have overlapping Display Rules eg. one set to Entire Site and a second one set to a specific rule such as Post Category Archives then which ever one is published first will be displayed.
Would you mind providing me with temporary admin access so i can take a look?
December 21, 2020 at 7:33 am #1589474Andersok, see below
December 21, 2020 at 7:59 am #1589525DavidStaffCustomer SupportOk so i can see the two missing header elements when i am Logged In. Which may be a caching issue. Do you have any cache plugins or server side caches enabled ? If so can you trying clearing them.
For archives – do not use:
{{post_terms.taxonomy}}
This is only for use on Single Posts. Instead use the{{post_title}}
December 21, 2020 at 10:10 am #1589694AndersOK, I will contact server support. Thanks a lot!
December 21, 2020 at 1:01 pm #1589844DavidStaffCustomer SupportLet us know.
December 21, 2020 at 1:12 pm #1589857AndersOK, they have replied. I have a cache plugin and I can clear cache and clear minfied css, but that didn’t help in this case. I tried to deactivate my cache plugin but that didn’t help either.
Their answer roughly translated:
“Have no idea why this is happening. We don’t have server side cache. I can however see that the css looks different on the “live” page compared to “admin” page. On the live page the row is read with the class “page-title” and the admin page with the class “page-hero” Are you changing the css directly?”
December 21, 2020 at 2:10 pm #1589894DavidStaffCustomer SupportOne thing i didn’t check – in the Header Element Display Rules, can you check that NO Users rules are set?
December 21, 2020 at 11:56 pm #1590185Andersoh dear! I didn’t think about that. I had it on “admin”. Great, it works now-thanks and merry Christmas!
December 22, 2020 at 1:58 am #1590305DavidStaffCustomer SupportI should have checked ๐
Glad to be of help and Merry Christmas to you! -
