Several problems

Hi guys,
I have some problems here:
1) I have some issues with setting up News Show Pro widget. I made everything as it is said here: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/th ... r/install/. But the widget looks very different.

2) When I uncheck "Display login button" title of News Show Pro widget also disappears.

3) Which is the recommended image size for blog posts?

Link to my site: http://voobshche-to.net/
Version of News Show Pro: 1.0.1.2, downloaded from here: https://github.com/GavickPro/GK-News-Show-Pro

Hi,

Regarding your problems:
1) On your Article layout tab (in NSP settings) your "Show image" option is on the first place? If no, please change the order (you can drag & drop this section to change order), if that won't help, please send me a Private Message with backend access, then I'll be able to check it exactly and I'll also check your second issue.

3) 1200 x 720px is the default image for the blog posts.

Thank you very much, Piotr, the info helped me a lot.

A couple of other questions:

1) For some reason the third article on the page stays 1 in 2 rows (althought there should be 2 articles in 2 rows). Any ideas for fixing that?
2) Is it possible to change the dimension of the images in GK News Show Pro? I'd like to make it 216x129 or 230x137.
3) Is it possible to translate the English-written phrases like "Tagged under", "by", "Read more", "Older posts" etc.

Sorry for being annoying, one more question
Is it ok, that the homepage is missing the h1 tag? How can I assign it?

Hi,

Please add the following code into the theme’s css/override.css file (make sure to enable the “Use the override.css file” option in Template options > Advanced in the WordPress backend)

Code: Select all

.gk-two-columns:nth-child(2n+1) {
    clear: none;
    padding-left: 10px;
}
.gk-two-columns:nth-child(2n+2) {
    clear: both;
    padding-right: 10px;
}


To change News Show pro images, please check article layout tab and there you can find image dimensions which may be changed.

Regarding the translation, please check this article:
https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wo ... -language/

On the homepage, there's no H1 because are you displaying category on your homepage, you can add h1 and other text directly in your Writer/index.php file before this line:

Code: Select all

<?php do_action('writer_before_content'); ?>

Thanks a lot. Sorry I am a newbie in WP.
1) For some reason I do not have "Template options" in the Dashboard as it is shown here:
https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wo ... gk-themes/
But I've inserted <span style="display: none;"><h1>Вообще-то, нет</h1></span> in Main Index Template (index.php). It worked. Is it a good solution?

2) Is there a way to make GK News Show Pro plugin show the most popular articles?

Hi,

I'm sorry in our latest themes (also in Writer), there's no template opitons anymore, but please add the code into css/override.css file and that's all. Iserting inline css is not the best solution (<span style="display: none;"> ..), so you want to have H1 but not visible? - It's definitely not a good idea, because of SEO.

Regarding the News Show Pro, most poupular means most commented? Unfortunately it's not possible now.

Hi,
Yes, I want to assign h1 tag to the homepage, but I do not need it to be visible for visitors. Is it possible to make the site title as the h1 for the home page?

By most popular, I meant the most viewed aticles, is this possible?

Yes, it's possible, but instead your inline css use override.css file (add <h1 class="hidden">your title</h1>) and in the css file:

Code: Select all

.hidden {
display: none;
}


but like i said hidden content is not a good idea because of SEO.
https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 6353?hl=en

regarding the most viewed aticles - it's not possible, because wordpress doesn't have this kind of feature (there's no view counter for posts).

Ok, I got your point.
Thank you very much, you guys, are the best... and Writer theme is awesome

Hi guys, that's me again.
I have a couple of questions here:
1) My registration page looks no good, please take a look: http://voobshche-to.net/wp-signup.php How can I fix it?
2) I have a trouble with GK News Show Pro again. I set up the preferred dimensions (152x84) and the plugin looks nice on PC and tablets, but on phones the images look ugly. It seems that the 152x84 image is stretched up to the full width of the phone screen. Is it a way to fix it? I would like to make images look as qualitative as the images from the "Related Posts".
See the links:

One more thing... I had an error with my author page and fixed it by replacing author.php as it was suggested in other topic here.
But then I got the same error as I once got on the homepage, the third article on the author page stays 1 in 2 rows (althought there should be 2 articles in 2 rows). How can I fix this? I still have the code you gave me inserted in my custom css.

Hi,
Regarding your issues:
1) Try to add the following code into you css/override.css file:

Code: Select all

body .mu_register {
padding-left: 100px;
}


2. Images from News show pro are adjusted to the containter, if you don't want this feature, please add the following code into your css/tablet.css file:

Code: Select all

width: auto!important;
}


or use bigger image size in your widget settings.

Regarding the author page issue, please replace the author.php file and let me know, then I'll check the issue.

Thank you, Piotr,
1) I've done everything as you said and it did fix the registration page. However the the activation page has the same problem, and one more thing... how do I get rid of the white rectangles showed on the screenshot?

2) Regarding the author page: I had the same problem as described here: https://www.gavick.com/forums/writer-wp ... 42006.html
I followed the instruction provided in the topic and replaced the author.php file. After replacing I got another problem (the same one I once had with the homepage) regarding the forth article on the page. Please see the screenshot:
http://tinypic.com/r/2vkgpaq/8

Hi,
1) Please add also this code:

Code: Select all

#gk-right-top-bg {
background: transparent;
}


2) and this code:

Code: Select all

.author .gk-two-columns:nth-child(2n+1) {
clear: both;
float: left;
}

.author .gk-two-columns:nth-child(2n+2) {
clear: none;
float: right;
}


1) Thank you, Piotr. The code perfectly solved the problem with the rectangels, but the page body is still 100px lefter than it should be. How can I move it as well as we did with the registration page?

I didn't receive any mail after registration, could you send me a direct URL to activation page? (you can send me a PM).

Hi guys,
I have one more question here.
Is there a way to add a custom social icon?
I read this tutorial: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/th ... customize/
Here is written how to set up twitter, fb, g+ and other buttons, but aside these I need a vk button. VK is the most popular russian social network, and I would like to display it near fb, twitter and g+ icons, using this image http://voobshche-to.net/wp-content/uplo ... /01/vk.png or any other.

Hi,

Unfortunately there's no VK icon included in the theme, but you can also use Font Awesome icons:
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/
please use "fa fa-vk" instead of i.e. "gk-icon-vimeo" css class, but unfortunately this icon is not inside the circle, so probably you should change all of your existing icons to Font Awesome.

Hi guys,
another question from me here.
I've noticed that the text logo of my site looks different on my devices.
On Mac/PC it has normal font as it written in the settings.
On Android phone it looks like this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-zPsE ... sp=sharing
The font is ok here, although I it looks different than on PC.
On Ipad the text logo seems to be using TimesNewRoman font and it not only looks ugly but is also positionedd wrong.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-zPsEV ... 5pZG8/edit
How can I fix this?

Hi,

It may be a problem with different font rendering by some devices, but the differencies are too big, could you test the issue with some other fonts, i.e. google font?

Google Fonts are displayed perfectly fine and look the same on all devices, but:
1) google fonts has no Impact font
2) text logo on Ipad is still placed to high

Google Fonts similar to impact:
//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:700
//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Economica:700
//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Coda:800

You can also use image instead of text.

and try to add the following CSS code to move the text to the bottom:

Code: Select all

@media (max-width: 1000px) {
    #gk-logo-text {
        top: 50px;
    }
}


none of the suggested google fonts is compatible with cyrillic letters. Can you suggest smth else?
Using image is the best solution I've tried up till now, but it lacks the cool hover effect of the text logo.
As I understand, the issue is provoked by a theme bug. When will you be able to fix it?

No it's not a theme bug. Please check this similar discussion:
http://www.wix.com/support/html5/ugc/45 ... 1a72903fe9

there's no Impact font on iOS:
http://iosfonts.com/

so a substitute font family is used.
