    Place loop-index.php in your child theme folder, and then code it so that it includes whatever information you want. I’m not quite sure exactly what you want to include there, so I can’t give you more specific information.

    Sorry for the link, my website is currently in localhost devloppement.

    That makes it really difficult for us to offer you specific advice. Are there other websites out there doing something similar to what you would like to do that you can link to?

    but I’d like even more flexibility, place every elements everywhere I want, quickly

    Possible, yes. Quickly? This sounds like it’s going to take a fair amount of time and work on your end.

    You actually don’t need a plugin for embedding most videos. See this page in the Codex:

    I don’t understand this bit:

    have graphene panels displayed on my frontpage. Now, I’d like to have full control on this page, bypassing hook features, and have specific loops only for it

    When you say “Graphene panels”, do you mean you want specific posts showing on this static front page, all posts showing, or something else. Is this what you mean by “specific loops”?

    “bypassing hook features” — do you mean you don’t want to use action hooks?

    I’ve tried to create home.php, in graphene folder and/or child folder

    That’s because Graphene never makes a call to a file called home.php (although you could do this with an action hook).

    Please include a link so we can take a closer look.

    Thanks,

    Add “<h2>” (plus any other tags you need to retain) to the “Retain these HTML tags in excerpts” option. And then style it as above.

    Keep in mind that sliders are just meant to show previews of posts. You can get it to show a lot more, but you are going to have to do a lot more along the lines of what we’ve been discussing here. Not impossible, but a lot of typing.

    Moved to support.

    This has been answered many times. Add img {border:none;} to either custom css or child theme stylesheet.

    I see you are working on this…

    If you are trying the second method, and “graphene_feed_icon” doesn’t work for you, then try one of the other widget areas. This is still new for a lot of us and we are all working together to figure it out.

    If you do get it to work, please add your solution to this thread. Thanks!

    In reply to: page with posts template?

    #18818

    A post archive doesn’t allow for static text ahead of the posts. That’s the effect I’m going for.

    Exactly!

    To be honest, I have seen a lot of requests for something like Kalin’s Post List plugin. I may do a tutorial on how to use it and incorporate it with Graphene’s formatting so it will do something like what you are describing. (There is a bit of a learning curve, I admit.) Interested?

    BTW, this

    This is a test site that i play with to learn how to do stuff:

    is a good idea. I highly recommend this “sandbox” approach to those of you who can do this. Mine is here: http://test.kjodle.net/blog/

    The solution in the link I provided will keep the basic formatting (i.e., it will show bulleted lists as bulleted lists, and not as jumble of sentences all run together), but it doesn’t necessarily maintain the exact formatting of the excerpt, because the excerpt is, after all, an excerpt.

    This is NOT tested, but you can probably try something like this:

    .slider_post_entry ul, .slider_post_entry li {formatting options;}

    to control exactly how you want these items to display in the slider.

    Like I said, I haven’t tested it; just pulled it off the top of my head. Let us know if that works or not; somebody else may have a more elegant solution, or even one that works!
