different number of columns in blog and categories?

[Elaine-]

hello!

I bought your lovely theme just so that I could have a simple front page with one photograph on it for my blog.

But I want to have 3 columns of thumbnails for my category lists

And if possible, I would like a second ‘latest posts’ page with 3 columns, so that people could have the option of scrolling through thumbnails to get to my posts

is there a ‘latest post’ shortcode i could put on a static page for the front page? tho i still need 3 columns in the other instances…

I don’t really understand how to customize your theme to do all the wonderful things it can do!

thanks in advance xoxox

ok, so i got the short code for the single post in the front page, then set the blog list to 3 columns

but i still don’t know how to get three columns of the whole blog as a menu item…

i want to be able to click on a menu items and see all my latest posts in 3 columns

so far i can only do that with categories and archives

thanks for your help xox

ok, i figured it out, but how do i get those different masonary grids on my blog page?

[Elaine-]

i imported one of your demo templates or whatever, and it wrote over my whole site with no way of starting over, ie. i couldn’t uninstall it

i had to redo my entire site

what i want to know now is… you have a default on each of my blog posts to display feature image

and the picture won’t show up on my friend’s tablet until i turn that option off

but i don’t have the time to go thru 3000 posts and turn off that option

suggestions?

Hi,

Thank you for purchasing our theme. 🙂

what i want to know now is… you have a default on each of my blog posts to display feature image
and the picture won’t show up on my friend’s tablet until i turn that option off
but i don’t have the time to go thru 3000 posts and turn off that option

It is not necessary to turn off all posts. It is possible by custom CSS(“Appearance > Customize: Additional CSS”), like:

.single-featured-image {
    display: none;
}

how do i get those different masonary grids on my blog page?

There are 2 kinds of Blog pages:
1, The default blog archive https://doc.seatheme.net/sea/blog/create-a-blog-page/
2, By BM content builder: https://doc.seatheme.net/sea-content-builder-plugin/create-blog-by-grid-module

thank you so much for the CSS for the feature image!

and the create a blog by grid module, i didn’t understand that at all

it said ‘learn how to make a grid’ and when i googled it, i just got a bunch of different plugins

anyway, my site is beautiful thanks to your theme, it’s just what i wanted, super clean, elegant, and simple

did you look at my site? http://totallylike.me

thanks again,

I checked your website, it is awesome! I am very glad that the SEA theme can help you create your favorite website 🙂

[Elaine-]

isn’t it lovely?? 🙂 thanks so much for looking at it xox

one thing that’s bugging me is when i scroll with the menu bar, there is a white background to it that covers part of my blog…

i tried to find it in CSS to change it to transparent, but my ‘inspect’ function has changed

can you tell me how to change the header background to transparent?

peeze? 🙂

[Elaine-]

in addition to wanting to turn the background of the menu bar transparent

i also wanted to say that i have no ‘BM Content Builder’… only some sort of font thing

any idea why i don’t have it?

[Elaine-]

i finally figured out how to turn the menu bar transparent

but still… i have no BM Content Manager’ in my sidebar

i don’t know where to get that!

[SeaTheme]

Hi,

Please go to Appearance>Install Plugins(on the left navigation bar of wp-admin), install & activate the BM Content builder.

Regards!

[Elaine-]

but i already did that! lol
it’s installed!
what did i do wrong??

[Elaine-]

and yes it’s activated lol

[Elaine-]

i got a notification that there is an update to SEA

i tried to just install it as a theme, but it said the theme is already installed

i didn’t want to replace the one that i have, because i have put so much work into it

how do i get the update incorporated in the current SEA theme?

there doesn’t seem to be a page where it says ‘update available’ or anything like that

so i don’t know how to do it

thank you for your help

[SeaTheme]

Hi,

You could remove the existed version theme, removing the theme is NOT meaning to remove website data. The website data is saved in a database instead of a theme file, it is WordPress rule.
Plz check how to update: https://doc.seatheme.net/sea/installation/how-to-update-sea-theme-and-plugin/

But still suggests you make a data backup.

Regards!

[Elaine-]

thanks so much!! i thought it might over write my site the way your Demos do!
worked like a charm!

[Elaine-]

however, i still don’t have the BM Content Builder in the sidebar….

[SeaTheme]

Hi,

The BM Content Builder(blue button) is not in the sidebar, it is on the top bar: https://doc.seatheme.net/sea-content-builder-plugin/bm-content-builder-introduction/

——————————–
If it doesn’t work, may I check your website? Could you please send your question(this topic URL) and wp-admin(URL / username/password) to uiueux@gmail.com ?

(If there is the Jetpack plugin, please disable “Allow users to log in to this site using WordPress.com accounts”)

i don’t have anything like that, i have a large bar with the whale on the left and ‘edit content’ on the right

could that be it?

i don’t remember my password, i’ll have to change it to let you in, so let me know if the ‘edit content’ bar isn’t it?

thanks so much!

[Elaine-]

well, i tried to make a masonry grid with the ‘edit content bar’

but the page just freezes

[Elaine-]

as a matter of fact, it crashed my whole site

[Elaine-]

as a matter of fact it crashed my computer in weird ways

i rebooted, it’s ok now,
but i can’t use that content editor
and i don’t have the BM one
