a few weeks back, I wrote and asked about the blog module using a header template, and it passing through archived posts. I was told that it wasn’t possible, and post had to be created with whatever template was to be used. (that was it basically)
Anyway, I tried to do that tonight, and a weird thing happened. I wrote a post, used Genesis Dambuster to switch off the WP header etc, and clicked the Page Builder tab. It opened as expected. Then I dropped in a header module that I have saved, and is in all the site pages.
There is a bunch of code that has slotted into the top of the post, referencing the header. I deleted it all, started again, same thing. In looking at the post excerpt, the menu link text is right above it.
Have a look at the code in the screen grab below, the last line in the image is actually the first line in the post. So a lot of code has dropped in, and I have no idea why.
Sorry, I’m not quite getting this. Could you elaborate more? May I know what are you trying to achieve with the blog module? Are you trying to insert a blog module into the header?
ok, so the first image below is using the Posts module, and the WP Text Editor. Looking at the excerpt view, all is well.
I went into the first post, enabled Genesis Dambuster, switched to the Page Builder tab, and dropped a saved module in for the header/menu.
Going to the front then the menu text shows above the excerpt. Look at the second image, it shows the words Menu Weddings Seniors etc. These are the links in my menu.
Going to the back end and switching off Page Builder (by enabling the Text Editor tab) and now I have the menu showing up in the editor, in Visual view. I have no idea why it’s appearing there. I do see also that the red header menu showing in image 1, disappears in image 2.
The third image shows that. The image I sent in my first message just shows the Text view.
So I guess the problem here is that the global header row you’re placing for all of your Posts is showing as an excerpt. That is actually the intended behavior as that is already part of the Posts’ content, which is what WP uses to make an automatic excerpt. What you can do is, enable Manual Excerpts and write one for each Post.
I am having the same issue with with the Posts module.
If I set it to pages, the title shows at the start of the text on the first page. The next two pages are showing the menu links before the text. It’s weird.
This is really weird! Although I can see on those 2 entries which have the menus on their excerpts, they both have a blank row at the top of each content. That may be what’s causing the issue. Could you try removing those blank rows and see if that fixes it? If you can’t find it, feel free to share temp admin access to the site so we can check the backend.
re the last couple of posts - I can’t leave the jumbled content on my home page, so I switched the CONTENT to OFF. Feel free to switch it on when you need to.
It was indeed caused by the hidden row. I’ve deleted them on those pages and now the menu is no longer part of the excerpt. Feel free to switch the content back on.
Re the blank Saved Rows section, I can see rogue anchor and div tags added on several of the builder elements. It’s quite possible you have an unclosed a or div tag somewhere. I created a new page and same thing is happening so it must be from the theme. Unfortunately, I’m not really familiar with Dynamik. Try checking on your custom codes for those unclosed tags.
thanks for fixing the row issue. I tracked down the issue with the Saved Rows, and fixed it.
There is still one issue though - the Posts Module is still showing the page title, right before the text. I have no idea what’s happening there. Any thoughts?
That’s because on that Post, you have Wedding Timeline as an h1 heading and another one on your h2 heading. Check the screenshot below for reference. http://imgur.com/nsrVnAP
I see what’s happening now - the page title is setting the heading of the Post Module.
But on each page, there is an H1 heading, and that’s getting carried into the body of the Post module, but not as an H1, just as paragraph text.
Since the heading is already there, created from the page title, is there any was to not carry the same information from the H1 page text?
I have attached a screen shot to explain what I mean. It seems that the only way to make this look right is to remove the page heading, but then the page will not be correct. Unless there is another method?
I don’t think that’s possible since you’re manually adding the h1 tag to your Posts - it’s already part of the editable content. You could try changing your theme’s Post template so it includes the title by default - outside the editable content. Or you could add the excerpts manually, so you have total control.
