Can you post the link to your Blog, or some of the Posts where the Images are doubling? If possible, would you be able to create a Temporary User/Password so I can login and see if I can quickly fix it myself?

“Can I have a full width featured images before content? Can I insert post title over this images? This should be awesome… (like or similar this:”

This is possible, but it would take some time to create Custom Code in order for that to work. Since it doesn’t come with the theme by default, you would have to search to see if there is already a tutorial available, or possibly Hire a Dev to code it up. I’m sure I could do it, I’d just need some time to put it together.

“comparing my code with your code the only difference that I can find is this piece of code at the end of your sent code “->”. Is this an error?”

That was an error when I wrote it here in the post. Whenever we edit our comments here in the forum, sometimes bbPress adds <!--formatted--> at the end of the post if there’s code….I thought I erased it all but must have left a little. Just fixed it.

If you want me to try and login and fix the double images for you just let me know.

Which version are you using? In the latest version of this theme, we’re using this code –

// Add featured image above the entry content
add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', 'legacy_featured_photo' );
function legacy_featured_photo() {

    if ( ! ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail() ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $image = genesis_get_image( 'format=url&size=single-posts' );

    $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( get_the_ID() );
    $alt = get_post_meta( $thumb_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true );

    if ( '' == $alt ) {
        $alt = the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' );
    }

    printf( '<div class="featured-image"><img src="%s" alt="%s" class="entry-image"/></div>', esc_url( $image ), $alt );
}

That code will produce the Featured Image to show on the Blog pages, as well as the Single Blog Post pages as well. You can edit the position you want the image to appear in this part of the code –

add_action( 'genesis_before_entry', 'legacy_featured_photo' );

Look in your functions file and remove (or comment out) the code for the Featured Images –

//* Add featured image above the entry content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'elevate_featured_photo', 5 );
function elevate_featured_photo() {

	if ( is_attachment() || ! genesis_get_option( 'content_archive_thumbnail' ) )
		return;

	if ( is_singular() && $image = genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url', 'size' => genesis_get_option( 'image_size' ) ) ) ) {
		printf( '<div class="featured-image"><img src="%s" alt="%s" class="entry-image"/></div>', $image, the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );
	}

}

This code is for the Featured Images to show on your Single Pages. Once you remove this code, it won’t show up on your Single pages, but it will still show on your Homepage as well as the Blog like normal.

There’s some extra/empty p tags that seems to appear when I look at the source code. Maybe it’s coming from the widget Paragraph Checkbox? Either way you can add clear: both; to your button and it should show up in the center. Here’s an example where I use it as a div (you can use the p tag if you prefer) –

<div style="clear: both;"><a href="http://10insights.com/blog" class="button large customOrange" style="
">Show More Insights</a></div>

Here’s what it will look like when I add that code to your site – http://i.imgur.com/jbE6z6k.png

Those are your Featured Image Thumbnails. If you don’t plan to use them, you could uncheck the Featured Image option in your Genesis Theme Settings.

If you do plan to use them on your Blog page but prefer to not have them show on your Single Posts/Pages then you can comment out or remove the code from your functions file –

Here’s the code that shows Featured Images on your Single Posts Pages (functions.php file) –

//* Add featured image above the entry content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'followme_featured_photo', 5 );
function followme_featured_photo() {

	if ( is_attachment() || ! genesis_get_option( 'content_archive_thumbnail' ) )
		return;

	if ( is_singular() && $image = genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url', 'size' => genesis_get_option( 'image_size' ) ) ) ) {
		printf( '<div class="featured-image"><img src="%s" alt="%s" class="entry-image"/></div>', $image, the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );
	}

}

What’s your site link? (for the logo)

For the second issue, I believe they got this fixed in an update a few months ago – https://appfinite.com/topic/ambition-theme-next-buttons-on-blog/ The front-page.php contains the update needed for the fix. If you’re referring to something different then I’ll have to take a peek at what it could be.

Hi Richard,

I just checked your link and it looks like you may have a Page set as your homepage which is preventing the Homepage widgets from showing (like the demo). I would need to take a closer look to see what’s going on for sure, but either way I know I can get it figured out pretty quickly.

To activate the Homepage (like the demo), just drag a widget over into one of the Homepage widget areas. Once you do this, it should automatically show that widget on your homepage. If you don’t add any widgets, then the theme is designed to show your Blog posts by default. So if you want to activate and use the custom homepage template like the demo, all you would need to do is add a widget into one of the home widget locations.

Unlike other themes, you won’t need to create a page and label it home, or change your Front Page Displays (in your settings) to show your homepage. Simply using the homepage widget locations will activate it immediately. I wrote a short tutorial/explanation here in the tutorials – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/

If adding a widget to one of your homepage widgets isn’t showing on your homepage, then double check your Front Page Displays setting. Go to Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays and make sure it’s set to Latest Posts, and that should fix it.

I can login for you and install the demo content if you want. It would only take a sec. I can see if there are any issues preventing you from setting it up as well. All I would need is a temporary login.

I can get it all setup in a matter of seconds. Just let me know!

“I’ve got one category (blog) that has posts which I want to show on the portfolio page but I don’t want to exclude those posts from the blog page.”

By default they won’t be excluded from your Main Blog page. The only way they’ll be excluded from your Blog page is if you manually add your Category ID’s under Exclude Categories in the Blog Page Template section from your Genesis Theme Settings page. If you don’t do that then those same posts in your Portfolio will show up on your Blog page since they are all considered Posts.

“I was wondering if I could use something apart from categories to filter the posts that will go to the portfolio page.”

Only Category ID’s will work for this type of Portfolio. WordPress (in addition to Genesis) allows you to show specific Categories only, there’s no code/option to show regular Tags.

Yes this can be done with Categories. I mentioned how to do that in one of your previous threads (in case you missed it) – https://appfinite.com/topic/portfolio-page-template/#post-19826

They have Portfolio Tutorials that show you how to display a specific category on your Portfolio page. You can have Multiple portfolio pages that display separate categories individually…..AND you can even exclude the posts that show up on your Portfolio pages from showing up on your regular Blog page if you wanted to as well.

You can find all of these here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/ and this link can be accessed from the Tuts link in the menu.

Do you want a border after each post on the Blog page? If not do you have a link so I can see the page you’re referring to?

The Aspire Portfolio template can only display Posts. Think of it as your blog redesigned in a portfolio format. You can assign certain categories to only show on the Portfolio page and exclude them from showing up on your regular Blog page. See here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/

It’s designed to be simple to avoid overloading too much code which would make the theme too slow. For what you’re needing to do, it would be better to search for a dedicated portfolio plugin to use with the theme. I haven’t used any myself, but you can search for a free plugin through the WordPress repository – http://wordpress.org

Try changing the Permalink in the page editor (it’s right under the Title).

Also make sure and select the Blog Template in the right hand sidebar on the edit page.

Wes,
I tried reading from the beginning of this thread but I’m not sure I got exactly what the problem it is that you were trying to solve with featured posts. I have a featured post issue that I wonder if is the same as the one you were discussing here.

I want my featured images to show on my blog posts. I have checked that small featured image box shown above, but the result is that I have images showing on pages and posts on which I didn’t set featured images but have images in the content of the pages.

My question is, how do I limit featured images to only posts on which I select “set featured image”?

Thanks.

I found this from a tutorial. Try adding this to your functions file and replace -1 with the categories you want to exclude –

/** Exclude certain category from posts */
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_exclude_category_from_blog' );
function be_exclude_category_from_blog( $query ) {

    if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
        $query->set( 'cat', '-1' );
    }
}

For some reason this code   shows up in between each of those divs in front-page-12 when I check your source code. See line 319, 329, and 339 – view-source:https://karendoniere.com/

Did you add that in directly? If so, you can remove it and everything should align.

To reduce the content on your blog summaries, go to Genesis Theme Settings and look at the Content Archives section and you can set a content limit from there.

Also, you have <strong> in those sections that are showing up as bold, so that’s why it’s showing up like that.

Are you referring to the Blog Posts on the Homepage? If so, head over to your Customizer page and click the “Front Page Content Settings” and you’ll see the option to add a Headline

Journal Section Heading Text
Choose the heading text you would like to display above posts on the front page.

This text will show when displaying posts and using widgets on the front page.

For your other question, are you saying you want the Front Page 1 and Front Page 2 widgets to show up at the top of every page?

It looks like you already got the blog setup on the homepage.

I went to Genesis Settings > Content Archives and set a 500 Character limit and checked the box that says “Include Featured Image”. You can change how many Characters show from this section, and you can also change the Image size if you want.

Let me know if that helps
