be theme set featured image as sub header

inspiredbymaps · May 2020

Hi ,

In your docs
https://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/

In 3.1 it specifiaclly says
You can also upload different header images for different pages using the Set featured image option.

Now I am confused, as I have featured image set for every post...and none set for header image in theme options? So should it just not default to each featured image? How can I do this?

Also - which setting image should I have to ensure resize but whole image is seen

Pablo · May 2020

Hello,

It will replace your "Header" image, not the subheader.

Also, it will not work on the blog posts, only regular pages.

Thanks

ok, but how can I set the default size of this header image? it only seems to have contain or cover. I want to be responsive and show entire image?

Pablo · May 2020

Showing whole image does not mean it's responsive.

Can you send us a link to your page?

Thanks

hi,

We can use this page as example: https://inspiredbymaps.com/about/

The featured image is used as sub-header as is ideal... but its only showing small about (whole width). How do I set to make height more?

Bryan · May 2020

You can only set the height of the subheader globally, in theme options>header&subheader>subheader.

The height is controlled by the top and bottom padding values.

thanks

Ok, thats what I was looking for

Is there a way to set globablly the contrast / darkenthe subheader so white title is always readable?

Transparency (alpha) below does not seem to work

How Can I change related posts as I don’t want to to say date… and I want to remove the ‘line; and then box with symbol and read more. Since post is clickable as well as image.
On my catagories page it is somehow picking up my ‘home page’ page and placing there, https://inspiredbymaps.com/category/europe/austria/ - then its listing all my other categories before posts in that category? How do I change this setting …

1) I do not see a need for the contrast, as I see, your text and background are visible.

Did you solve the problem?

2) Please paste that CSS code into the Theme Options > Custom CSS & JS > CSS

.post-related .date_label{display:none !important;}

3) Can you check, if the same happens if your plugins are disabled?

Do not forget about clearing the cache of your browser.

Thanks

1) I just chose a different picture which was darker. I guess this will work. I can see in muffin builder there is way to set sub-header for each post and remove featured image from view. Is there an option of CSS solution to set this automatically for all posts? I have over 1500 across the sites I use this theme with …

2) This worked but only for date. EG on https://inspiredbymaps.com/safetywing/ - at related posts where it says ‘read more’ with the four dot icon and blue box…I want all this gone? Just related post / image / post title … or if this is not possible how can I change the icon and box shape as its very ugly

3) Yes I deactivated all plugins and cleared cache and was still coming?

Bryan · May 2020

1. Not really, you cannot make a image darker with css.

2. Try this to hide the button

.post-related a.button {display:none !important;}

3. Sorry but I do not see this issue, could you make a screenshot?

thanks

inspiredbymaps · May 2020

1) Ok. Ill just custom figure out each.

2). worked perfect. thanks.

3) Ahh - the page is far too much to screen shot but https://inspiredbymaps.com/category/europe/austria/ - this is a category page. But it is displaying first my home page, including slider, then even after than it has a list of all my catagories “ All Africa Argentina Armenia Asia Australia Austria Belarus Belgium Belize Bolivia Brazil Bulgaria Canada 

“ Etc

Then it has the posts under this category. All it should be displaying is the posts straight away… etc 50 Top Things to Do in Vienna When You Visit Austria’s Imperial Capital! ????????, etc etc - I don’t know which setting on BE theme is forcing this but as I said above, I have turned off all plugins and is still showing up??

4. Is there is php or css solution to this issue in showing related posts. Basically my posts are sorts by categories and sub categories etc. So I have one posts under categories Destinations, Europe, Austria etc. When it comes to ‘related posts’ I want it to display first those in same, sub header, or if not enough, then further up hierarchy? I used YOAST which sets primary category but I believe this is just a feature on the post and does not actually integrate with Be theme? Is it possible to use this, or failing that a code that shows first posts matching 3 of the same categories, then two, then one? So the posts are most related? Because at the moment it just shows those by date on top-level category which are not at all relevant?

inspiredbymaps · May 2020

related to 4, or failing both these options... can I make it use tags?

Pablo · May 2020

3) Okay, I do understand now.

What I can suggest, is to disable the categories completely: https://prnt.sc/solutk

Or just select few categories which will display, by inserting their slug name

https://prnt.sc/solvjr

4) The related posts functionality is almost the same as in the basic wordpress, we did not change it a lot - we just styled it with css code.

So, if you will find some tutorial about the thing you want to achieve (for wordpress), you are free to do that.

Remember to install Child Theme before theme files customization to prevent losing them while updating the theme

Thanks

inspiredbymaps · May 2020

Ok thanks so much, all of that makes sense. Final question and then everything is perfect.

1. For sub-headers you said it is not possible to add CSS to make text stand out against all pictures? I want to be think this https://inspiredbymaps.com/category/destinations/asia/japan/ - where each post has the white text but there is a semi-black layer on bottom so you can read against every background? Like here is too hard to read post title on subheader https://inspiredbymaps.com/things-to-do-in-kyoto/ but is ok on categories display where there is darker image? Especially on mobile it is too hard…

I think this blog runs be theme and has done . … http://www.backpackerbanter.com/blog/guide-to-getting-suit-tailored-hoi-an-vietnam

Pablo · May 2020

Do you have any example how you would like to make it look like?

I do not understand at all what you want to achieve now.

thanks

It's named Intro Header

Header image on the top of the page, with full-width option and title with description on it, this template based on the Builder, so it will not include the featured image and comments.

You can set it in while editing the post:
