In reply to: Excerpt & Thumbnail in Slider showing two photos…

@raindance

I’m not an expert, but i’ll try to help you out, ok?

If you check my website: http://cineramabc.com.br you may see that i use excerpts from pages at the slider. I use the following plugins to do so:

PJW Page Excerpt (to allow excerpts at pages);

TinyMCE Excerpt (to use rich text at excerpts, so i may set them to “justify”).

My Slider is set to show thumbnail+excerpt. If you can’t manage to edit your pages’ excerpt after installing these plugins, check if the excerpt window is supposed to show up at Screen Options.

To use a specific image, not the feature image, at Graphene Options, Slider tab, you may select Custom URL and at your page you have the option to include the Custom URL (even without setting Globally). Right below is the field to include the custom url.

Would be helpful if you posted the URL of your site, as per rule.

Hehe, at least now i included tags to the post so the next one whom looks after it will show up here and have his problem solved.

Again: thanks, guys. Topic closed 😀

Totally worked, Syahir! Thank you very much!

By the way, what’s the command i must add to the style.css to remove the “Continue Reading” button?

Well, if you want my suggestion, a huge section of FAQs, perhaps even inside the Graphene FAQs Theme option could help you deal with repeated topics, like all those 373883 started threads about slider doubts around here

To prevent further posting i’ll also present another problem:

My graphene theme is configured to display Posts’ excerpts at front page;

I downloaded a plugin to include excerpts to Pages;

When we manage to solve the issue above will this configuration remains? I mean, will the front page show the excerpts from PAGES or will i need further configuration for that?

Yeah ^^

To keep the forum organized i’ll set this topic as resolved (as it is) and create a new topic exclusively for the “display pages at front page” issue. So it gets a thread only for it since i didn’t find any in the forums.

Thank you very much, both of you 😉

Oh, MrMatt, i couldn’t believe it was so simple! Yes, you totally nailed it! Thank you very much!

Kenneth, i believe that i might give up on that idea and just find a way to replace posts in the frontpage to pages, which should be easy using the same resource i did for the slider, then i’ll find a way to include images to excerpts (there must be a plugin for that somewhere) and i’ll keep the frontpage balanced hopefully.

But, please, whenever you achieve this work you’re doing let me know (:

For the sake of search here is the list of plugins i installed to solve all the issues listed before:

Flexible Widgets

Map Categories to Pages

PJW Page Excerpt

So, Kenneth! I finally got some extra-time and started hunting for solutions for my issues 🙂

1. Not solved

1.1. Solved by installing a plugin that includes categories to pages, a few more code adds (which i’ve found in the same topic around here) made it work perfectly.

1.1.1. Solved with a simple code in the CSS. Also found here in the forums.

1.2. I believe i worked through this one solely using wp/graphene options 🙂

1.3. I didn’t solve this one yet, still, i might use the same plugin i used at 1.1 to add categories and excerpts at the front page instead of posts or just find some other way around to deal with it;

1.4. Best i could do was making a custom link in the menu and including the # thing, to link to nowhere, even looked after at wp.org, but didn’t find any solution to completely unlink parent menu pages (i just want to get rid of that handy thing!).

1.5. I believe i worked through this one as well using only wp/graphene options 😀

1.6. Solved after installing a plugin which allowed me to pick which widget would appear on each page:)

I’d appreciate some help at 1. if it goes easy on you (really couldn’t find anything related around here) and 1.4

Thanks in advance 😀

Kenneth, my apologies for the very late reply, i was shoting a movie in the middle of nowhere and the internet access was pretty limited.

So, before creating this topic i gave a look through the posts but i wasn’t able to find much of the information i wanted, perhaps due to great amount of repeated posts under the same subjects that are not of my concern or pure stupidity of myself.

About creating a child theme, there would be no problem at all for me, i could do it right now using the tutorial you sent me. But what should i do after creating a child theme? I’d certainly appreciate some guidance after doing so 😀

Thanks in advance, keep up the great work 😀
