Hi there,

I’m currently trying to set up a blog page within our website that will use the same layout as the Masonry Grid – Herbert Hoover template. This is exactly how we want it to look (https://www.8theme.com/demo/royal/masonry-grid-herbert-hoover/) as it does on the demo page. We have lots of posts uploaded, and categories included in the posts, but for some reason no matter what I do, when I use the Essential Grid module in the backend editor, only 2 of my posts show up. See the attached screenshot. The page I’m working on specifically to try the essential grid plugin is: http://www.lifelinefitness.com/blog-2.

When I go into the settings for the Essential Grid plugin, it says that all of my categories are selected. I also don’t know how to get the top link that says “CLEAN EATING DURING HOLIDAYS” and “TRAVEL FRIENDLY FITNESS FOR HOLIDAYS” to be the same font as the other lines of text. I tried messing with the CSS on the individual page but nothing is working.

Can you help me with this? Like I said I want it to look exactly how it does in the demo version on the theme’s website (https://www.8theme.com/demo/royal/masonry-grid-herbert-hoover/). I do NOT want anything to change on the home page, I simply want it to be a page within the website where people can go to see all of our blog content.

I will include the login information for the site.

Thank you!!

Hello,

As I see you are using old theme version and required plugins as well. You need to update them.
Before update delete “woocommerce” folder in the directory wp-content/themes/royal/ and it’ll be reuploaded from a new theme package.
The latest versions of required plugins can be downloaded here https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ .

Don’t forget to create back up of your files and database before starting update process!

(it’s for Legenda theme but the process is the same).

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Okay, thanks for that. Can you tell me what theme version it appears we are running? I’m confused because our developer went through a whole process to update our theme and all of the plugins… or at least I thought he updated everything.

If you could tell me what version of the theme it appears we’re running then that can help me understand what’s going on.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I have now updated all of the necessary plugins and theme, and it looks like the “POST TITLE” text in the Herbert Hoover is still not showing up as the right font. I want it to be the same sans serif font as the rest of the text. See page here: http://www.lifelinefitness.com/blog-2

How can I edit that?

Thanks!

Kate

Change font family there.

okay, and is that the right way to say the font family that I want? I want it to be Roboto, bold. How should I put that in the CSS?

Also, is there a way that I can make it so that each tag doesn’t have its own separate line? see attached screenshot.

Okay, I’m sorry one more question for you.

I’m selecting the posts I want to be included on the blog page, but when I do that, it’s showing me products, as opposed to the actual posts that I want to be included.

See attached screenshot. You can also see it live here: http://www.lifelinefitness.com/blog-2

The css code should be as the following:
```
.eg-herbert-hoover-content a {
    font-family: "Roboto" !important;
    font-weight: bold !important;
}
```
Also, is there a way that I can make it so that each tag doesn’t have its own separate line?

Hello,

What folder should we access? Is it “lifeline_wp”?
We can’t do this because of permissions:
Error: Directory /home/lifeline_wp: permission denied
Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

Please check the errors.

That’s very strange. However, after simply deleting the module with the Essential Grid and reuploading it, it worked correctly, so it seems like it’s working correctly now.

However, I have one other question for you. Each time we set a Featured Image for a post, it shows up in the post itself at the top of the page. We don’t want that to happen – is there a way that we can stop that from happening?
