That is odd. I would recommend checking out how you set the slugs for tags, any changes to metadata. I wish I had more suggestions... if it were my theme I would root around a bit in the code of the templates and call to the tags.

For kicks - if you switch to a default theme (like Twenty-Seventeen) for a moment, do the tags work then? It'll help you narrow it down to something on your setup vs something Genesis vs something your child theme.

[paulag01]

I understand what you're saying but where are you clicking on "tags"? I don't see tags listed in the meta data of the podcast episodes or on the sidebar or elsewhere (thus I am not seeing a place to click and see if the link you are referring to works or not).

[paulag01]

Where are you trying to link categories and tags from? I do not see them on your posts or sidebar to even test. Maybe I am misreading your question, but would love to help if I can.

[paulag01]

Unfortunately, that doesn't really get me anything I didn't already have. The columns may be the same height (since all are background white it isn't immediately visible)

But what I want is a way to align the buttons so they are all aligned at the bottom.

You can see the behavior I have in this screenshot

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7BWdo6EwyMIVmFZcWlPbnJacWM

Is there a way to force those to align bottom?

Some days I just wish it were 1999 and I could valign="bottom"!

Not sure if you ever solved this, but I uncovered a bug with ShowCase Pro and Genesis Featured Page/Post widgets in the footer. The developer gave me this solution:

There is a CSS bug that is causing the layout issue on the home page. If you search for this line in the CSS:

.front-page .featured-content.widget .entry

Change that to this:

.front-page .featured-content.widget > .entry

Notice the ">" which targets direct descendants of the .featured-content.widget vs anything underneath it.

Just in case it helps you.

And this did the trick for letting them flow in mobile

/*_--------------BEGIN FLEX BOX -----------*/

.eq:nth-of-type(odd) {
background: #7FBDE4;
}

.eq:nth-of-type(even) {
background: #FFECC4;

}

.eq {
padding: 10px;
margin:5%;
}

.equalHMWrap {
justify-content: space-between;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 800px) {

.paddingBlock {
padding: 20px 0;
}

.eqWrap {
display: flex;
}

.eq {
margin:0;
}

.equalHW {
flex: 1;
}

.equalHM {
width: 32%;
}

.equalHMRWrap {
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.equalHMR {
width: 32%;
margin-bottom: 2%;
}

.equalHMVWrap {
flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.equalHMV {
width: 32%;
margin: 1%;
}

.equalHMV:nth-of-type(3n) {
margin-right: 0;
}

.equalHMV:nth-of-type(3n+1) {
margin-left: 0;
}

}

/*----------------END FLEX BOX -------------*/

Ah I get it! Because a regular flow of text is really just a full width column class (and thus is first).

Thanks much!
Paula

[paulag01]

Thank you Dave. This works nicely. I think I need to add some media queries so they drop on top of each other at a certain point (otherwise they just squish away by the time you get to a phone which was never built for side by side display).

Truly appreciate your help.

Back to Genesis Column Class for just a sec though. Forget the even height and all-- how does one get the next bit of content to drop to below however many columns you have meaning.

column 1 (whatever height) column 2 (whatever height) column 3 (variable height)

NEXT CONTENT SHOULD FLOW BELOW ALL 3 Columns (so below the longest of the 3).

It seems it should do THAT, no?

Thanks again
Paula

[paulag01]

Thank you Victor.

What I am wondering then is - what is my best way for being able to lay out 3 "boxes" across columns and having more than one row of them? Seems like going back to tables is silly.

This is on page content (I know how I would do it on a home page or something - creating custom widgets).

Seems like I should be able to do this without having to go to the darkside and bloat of a visual builder which I hate.

Sorry if I am being dense... just seems like this should be easier to do for laying out content on a page.

Thanks
Paula

[paulag01]

Thank you Victor. That is indeed where it is. Funny thing is it showed nothing (so I assumed there was nothing there). Crazy. Too many "customizers" in this configuration. Thanks for taking the time.

Why No Padlock and Google Developer Tools disagree.

This URL does not load because the IP is wrong

THUS why I am trying to find where it is output.

[paulag01]

Thank you Brad. That is exactly why I needed someone else's eyes on this. Changed so many things trying to get it to work that I lost sight of the basics.

Appreciate the tutorial...it's one I follow often.

Warmly
Paula

[paulag01]

Thanks for these. I did give this a whirl with a few edits but couldn't seem to make it change the order.

Maybe I just need to try it on another test site at some point....

//* Change the number of portfolio items to be displayed to 9

function dee_portfolio_count( $query ) {

if( $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && is_post_type_archive( 'portfolio' ) ) {
$query->set( 'posts_per_page', '6' );
$query->set('meta_key', 'portfolio-order' );
$query->set('orderby', array('meta_value_num' => 'ASC', 'date' => 'DESC'));
}
return $query;
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'dee_portfolio_count' );

/**
* Display as Columns
*
*/
function be_portfolio_post_class( $classes ) {
if ( is_main_query() ) { // conditional to ensure that column classes do not apply to Featured widgets
$columns = 3; // Set the number of columns here
$column_classes = array( '', '', 'one-half', 'one-third', 'one-fourth', 'one-fifth', 'one-sixth' );
$classes[] = $column_classes[$columns];
global $wp_query;
if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % $columns )
$classes[] = 'first';
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'post_class', 'be_portfolio_post_class' );

If there's something glaring I am missing, let me know... else I may just create a test site and play with basics (away from this theme). I convinced the client it was out of scope for now, so that problem is solved.

Appreciate both of you taking time to help move me along. At least I've learned something (even if I didn't solve the immediate problem) I can apply ongoing.

[paulag01]

Thank you Brad and Doug for the info.

So Brad, if I am tracking right with your response, I would need to make a change to the php that generates the blog posts for that page then.

But I am not sure syntactically how to handle adding in an order and orderby parameter to what exists there. Can I just add an $order and $orderby parameter, but then how does it get recognized by the $wp_query (or does it happen automatically).

Like
'meta_key' => 'portfolio-order',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'order' => 'ASC',

function be_portfolio_post_class( $classes ) {
if ( is_main_query() ) { // conditional to ensure that column classes do not apply to Featured widgets
$columns = 3; // Set the number of columns here
$column_classes = array( '', '', 'one-half', 'one-third', 'one-fourth', 'one-fifth', 'one-sixth' );
$classes[] = $column_classes[$columns];
global $wp_query;
if( 0 == $wp_query->current_post || 0 == $wp_query->current_post % $columns )
$classes[] = 'first';
}
return $classes;

---

One of these great "template only" jobs turned.... but can we customize this? Scenarios.

Any insight much appreciated.

Thanks
Paula

[paulag01]

Thanks Doug. The reading setting for blogs worked like a charm. She isn't going to have a regular blog so it works.

My bigger concern is the display order. Basically one portfolio item for each area of her business service. So each time she would add/update something, it would change the order. What she really wants is a set order all the time (regardless of last updated date). Is there any way to have it order differently (by a custom field or similar)?

Thanks
Paula

Hi there I haven't resolved fully to be honest. Trying to figure out what is the offending piece so I can get this guy mobile friendly as prose typically is. If anyone has a breadcrumb of where to start (given I tried starting stripping everything out to no avail) I will take it!

Thank you!

[paulag01]

Porter- if you think you might be able to find a solution that would make header full width on phone without that padding .. let me know. I need to hire someone to solve this already for client launch and my solutions would be too invasive (don't want to break other mobile responsive pieces).

(You can contact me here: http://www.thepaulagcompany.com/contact-paula-g

and let me know estimate/timing and we can discuss via email.)

[paulag01]

Thank you Porter! And I appreciate that you are confirming my sanity here 😉

Appreciate the tip on the browser test. I thought it was just me that couldn't get the developer tool to work the way I would expect it to.

Hope you enjoy a good craft beer on me 🙂

[paulag01]

Thank you Porter. That seems to help (a little). I wish the header image rendered larger (seems the theme renders it small) but so it is for now.

I find it so frustrating because Google Developer Tools doesn't match what my physical device does rendering this whole mobile testing a crapshoot (for me). I swear I have to be missing something!

I appreciate you taking time to help. If you have any mobile testing tools that you love I'm open to suggestions (always wanting to learn how to fish, so to speak).

[paulag01]

Is there a way to add the search widget within that so it stays inline in column 1? That's a deal breaker there. Shortcode to use in text widget?

I thought of using the 2 columns in text widget but appreciate the confirmation.....

Will need to adjust padding, etc. but looks like it just might work.

Thank you for your time Victor.
