I finally got around to reinstalling version 1.4.3, and the newsticker works fine now. The reinstall seem to be the fix.

Thanks
Glen

The issue is not still occurring as I have the previous version installed. I will reinstall the latest version and let you know how that goes.

[Glen Pavelich]

I can’t explain why it didn’t work but I had to reload the previous version of the template to get the ticker back. The plug ins made no difference, and yes I had the Homepage/Frontpage option selected. I flipped through all the options, and nothing made the options appear. It was simply blank and content I had in the ticker prior to the upgrade was not editable or accessible.
I have 2 sites with this them. The one in question is https://blainelake.ca
The ticker works now with the downgraded version once I reinstalled it, although it wasn’t working before with this same version.
It is very fickle.

[Glen Pavelich]

Same applies to the featured slider, and featured content.
Both broken on the back end. No options appear.
Since we are at opposite time zones, so please provide more details that just turn off plug ins. Can I safely roll back to the previous template??

Thanks

[Glen Pavelich]

Spoke too soon. The ticker is no longer editable. Nothing drops into the bottom of the left side panel under ‘News Ticker’ to make any changes to it.
I can enable and disable, or change it from homepage to entire site, but absolutely no options appear for adding the ticker content.

[Glen Pavelich]

Yeah… the new update lucida-pro 1.4.3 fixed the problem, and the news ticker is now flipping.

[Glen Pavelich]

I have lots of plugins and here is what I have discovered so far.

I have this theme loaded on my wamp, as well as here: https://rmofcanwood.ca/494/ and here: https://blainelake.ca/BL2017

I was able to get the ticker flipping on the wamp by turning things plug-ins off and on…. I think. It just started working when I went back to the NewsTicker settings.

This didn’t work with the sites.
But for one https://rmofcanwood.ca/494/ I turned off all Jetpack’s dashboard settings and the ticker began to work. Jetpack itself is activated.

This did not occur for the https://blainelake.ca/BL2017

I have the almost the same plug-ins on both sites, and none on the site that doesn’t work that are not on the site that does.

So the ticker seems fickle somehow. Can you help further.

[Glen Pavelich]

Yes, once I realized to grab the code from here (the posts) and not from the email, then all worked well. Thanks for helping with this. I’m glad to have the ‘home’ gone.

[Glen Pavelich]

OK – so the &gt is simply appearing in my email copy that I get from you. I was wondering what &gt was supposed to be.

I also have gotten code in the past which shows "
ie
.sidebar-before-content:before {
display: block;
content: " ";
clear: both;
}
Are those not supposed to be there either??

Thanks

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a difference between the two lines. I can’t see it if there is. Can you point it out please.

[Glen Pavelich]

I see this is working now and the content image is being picked up from the post (using Origin Page Builder Post-Loop) to bring the post to the static front page. It hadn’t worked after several earlier attempts, but it is now, so I get what you are saying.
Thanks

[Glen Pavelich]

For some reason that didn’t work.
I added the code
.home #main article#post-83 > .entry-container > .entry-header {
display: none;
}

to my child style sheet, and/or the additional css, but no effect.

[Glen Pavelich]

This is using the JetPage Visibility Feature

I finally got it to work. All my settings were correct but I had to add the visibility as follows.
Show if:
Page is “posts page”
and
Page is “front page” inculding children.

[Glen Pavelich]

No, deactivations made no difference, except for Jetpack of course. When I deactivated that one ALL the custom menus appeared on ALL the secondary side panels, including the blog page.

[Glen Pavelich]

But not when I bring a post to the front ‘static page’. It doesn’t show up unless there is a Featured Image. This feature is not helpful when it is so limiting since you cannot change the size of the featured image for various posts, center or resize it if its used on a page, or turn it off. This would be on my wish list for future updates.

[Glen Pavelich]

Is there a way to disable the need for the featured images, so that a post loop, for instance using Page Builder by SiteOrigin, will call in the content including images of a post without a featured image. Reliance on featured images does not always serve. I do a lot of municipal sites, and there often isn’t an image to go with say a public update, or it’s a very small image.

How can I remove the ‘home’ h2, entry-title without affected all the other entry-titles. Have tried a few css options, but haven’t been able to narrow it down.

Test site url is http://blainelake.ca/BL2017/

Thanks

[Glen Pavelich]

Found it. It’s called Archive Content Layout for some reason.

On another note..Is there a way to set more options for the featured image size, and for image sizes for the single page/post layout?

Lucida Featured at 880×660 for example is too wide for smaller post images. I’d like to have them show as original size.

[Glen Pavelich]

Thank you. With the “Custom Sidebars – Dynamic Widget Area Manager” I was able to create and assign a sidebar to the ‘before-content’ position. (Great Plugin).
So I have it on this page for you to see and edit so that it displays horizontally. Hopefully this will also then be responsive as well. I will be purchasing another pro template for another job, and will specifically need this option for that account as well.
See the three ‘before-content’ widgets here:

[Glen Pavelich]

Thank you. I’m getting more clear on this now, and yes a plug-in to assign sidebars to specific pages is necessary and exactly what I needed.
The JetPack one is no longer being maintained and some of the ones I tried are difficult to use, or not tested on the latest WP, but this one is amazing and very powerful. You can chose the specific sidebar you want to assign to any page, post or position, and it’s very intuitive to use.
