iBlobPro4 - Feature showing on Blog page

Recommended Posts

juniorgolf

I am using iBlogPro4. I have my "News" page set as by blog post page. (I am using a Static "Home" and "Blog" setting) I have selected the "default page template" for the "News" page - so the Feature Page Template should not be showing on the page. I have tried everything I can think of but - I can't keep the Feature Page Template from displaying. Secondly, I use the Page Redirect Plugin to have Category Posts display on specific Pages on a site running iBlogPro3. It works perfect. When I try to do this on the iBlogPro4 site, I keep getting the Feature Page Template on the page with the posts. I use Redirect to display the posts from the /archives/category/"category slug" and as I said, it keeps pulling the Feature Page Temple to display the posts in iBlogPro4. On the iBlogPro3 site, we run a Junior Golf Association and we have to show "Results" by Age Group - so I use Redirect to have specific category posts display on the Pages for each Age Group. I realize that Wordpress isn't that great at letting you display Posts on specific Pages. I use Wordpress as a CMS and it works great for our purposes. The Pagelines Themes have been very easy to work with and work great. I am wondering if it's just more of a case of me not completely understanding how iBlogPro4 handles pages. If code needs to be revised to accomplish what I'm trying to do, that's okay with me - but I will need some help. Here is a link to my iBlogPro4 site: WilcoxGraphics.net Blog Page

I found your video tutorial for changing the Nav.php to easily have Category Posts display on a "Page" - so I have that covered. But I still get the Features Page Template as my "default" page. So when I look at all of the posts for a Category - the Features Page Template is used. This is probably an easy fix - I just can't seem to find it.

Is it possible to attach screenshot of all the setting so I can double check. Also there is an option in the theme admin to have the feature page template on the posts page make sure that isn't checked

YOU CALLED IT! "an option in the theme admin to have the feature page template on the posts page make sure that isn't checked" I unchecked it and no more Feature Page on my Posts. The Feature and Highlight Pages are awesome - it really makes a website "standout." I should have done a better job of comparing the Option Settings to the "Theme Page Map" that you set up explaining what the "term" for each area on the page means. I totally missed this Option. Since you have to make instructions for "the lowest common denominator" - an idea might be to show an image of the page area next to each Option - that way even dolts like me would understand - and not take up your time! Great Themes! Great Support! I can't say enough good things about PageLines!

One last question. I am using iThemes Billboard Plug-in in the Full-Width Bottom Sidebar. It shows up on every page I have selected it in the Custom Code Setting on each Page. BUT it isn't showing up on my designated "blog" page. Is this another setting issue? I looked over all of the Setting and have everything checked in Optional Setting. I looked in the Page Source in Firefox and I don't see where the sidebar/widget is being called. So I guess it's a setting?

When I select a Category - the "default page" does not have the full-width bottom sidebar on it - so I'm guessing it has to be a setting. Still looking
