• Hello, I am looking to remove the space reserved for the title of my blog posts. I am incorporating the title of my blog posts in the featured images. This is the code that I have in the CSS editor:

    .entry-title {
    display: none;
    }

    It looks like there is still a space being preserved for where the title of the blog would show, is there a way to remove this space? Better/Different CSS perhaps?

    my website is dyrleifdesign.com

    Thank you!
    Sarah

  • Try using this code:

    .blog .hentry, .archive .hentry, .search .hentry {
        margin: 0 0 1em 0;
    }

    I am still seeing the space on my end. Might there be another option?

    Could you link to an example of a post where this is happening so I can take a look directly? I’m not seeing the post title hidden at all here:

    dyrleifdesign.com/blog-2/

    or here:

    Once we can see exactly what you’re referring to we’ll be better able to give you the necessary CSS. Thanks!

    I should have posted something last night, I decided to treat my blog differently and in include the title in the text due to the way the text widget on the front page widgeted area displayed the feature images of my blog. They were short and long, not square. I tried a couple different images last night and It all presented the same way.

    So I guess my choice is to use the featured image as my title and have it present on the front page odd, or not use featured images and put the title in my blog post.

    I am using shortcode ultimage to populate the series of posts that will show up on my front page. Is there a different or better way to have recent posts populate? Maybe I can do some trial and error??

    Thanks!

    There are lots of different ways you could display recent posts on the front page template.

    You could code a loop right into a child theme, for example.

    You could use a widget and place it in one of the front-page widget area. For example, the Display Posts widget that comes with Jetpack has an option to display a featured image in addition to an excerpt. (I helped build that widget so I have a soft spot for it!) You’ll have access to that widget if you activate the Extra Sidebar Widgets module.

    You could also use a shortcode, like the one you’re using if you’re happy with it, or the Display Posts plugin.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Is it the display wordpres posts widget? When I activate it and enter my blog URL it states that the page cannot load blog data at this time. I have selected all the options…open links in new tab, show featured image and show excerpts. The link I have for my blog is:

    dyrleifdesign.com/blog-2

    Could the link be wrong?

    Your site is currently returning an “unauthorized” error when the widget attempts to pull in your posts:

    {"error":"unauthorized","message":"API calls to this blog have been disabled."}

    You could try disconnecting and reconnecting your Jetpack connection to see if that clears it up. Let me know how it goes.

    Will deactivating the sidebar widgets and turning them back on do it, or is reconnecting my jetpack connection more than that? If so how do I do that?

    Thread Starter SarahDyrleif

    (@sarahdyrleif)

    OK I have tried deactivating the extra sidebar widget and re-activating it, as well as completely disconnecting Jetpack and re-connecting it. No changes. Are you seeing a different error message?

    Hmm. If disconnecting Jetpack from your WordPress.com account and reconnecting it didn’t work, could you please contact Jetpack support and they’ll delve into it more deeply with you:

    I just sent them an email. I will let you know what they have me do.

    Thanks!

    So after some trouble shooting the support at jetpack were unable to come up with why the display posts function was not working. They recommended that I use the RSS feed instead, which is working just fine. However I am not too keen on the RSS logo/icon in the title “Recent Posts”. Is there any way of removing that?

    Thanks!
    Sarah

    Ah, sorry they couldn’t solve that one for you!

    This custom CSS should remove the RSS icon:

    #rss-2 .widget-title img {
     display: none;
    }
