cvandyck 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 When I use Magazine style posts with 4 posts, it abbreviates to the point where all that is seen is the headline for the individual post .. How do I vary it so that it shows the text in the article as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kastelic 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 If you have PlatformPro -> Blog and Posts -> Post Excerpt or Summary Handling ->Posts/Blog page checked then it will show an excerpt of text in the article, more than just the headline. Are you trying to show the entire content of the article? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvandyck 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 k, so that helped a lot .. wasn't obvious so thanks ... so it raised two additional questions: 1. this is a nit, but if you look at the www.vandyckfamily.org post page, you will see that one of the boxes is slightly difference size, even though they all have similar amounts of additional content. Just for aethetics, how do I make them all a uniform size. 2. how do i vary the amount of content shown in each of the post boxes ... ie... have each box show exactly 10 lines?

catrina 103 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 1. Add this CSS and adjust the value according to what you want: #theloop div.clip_box #post {height: 450px;} 2. You can use a filter to control the excerpt length: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt#Control_Excerpt_Length_using_Filters Please read the docs before posting.

cvandyck 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 great.. one last favor here ... can you explain to me exactly what "theloop" which I see in a couple of places, refers to and what its significance is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvandyck 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 #theloop div.clip_box #post {height: 450px;} didn't seem to do anything .. did I miss something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kastelic 6 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 There's a typo there, #post should be .post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvandyck 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 still doesn't work .. I put in the following verbatim #theloop div.clip_box .post {height: 450px;} What do you suggest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvandyck 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 actually put the following: /* to set size of boxes in posts*/ #theloop div.clip_box .post {height: 50px;} Function_Reference/the_excerpt#Control_Excerpt_Length_using_Filters; but does not seem to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
