Title: featured post Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # featured post * Resolved [Mary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilhaverde/) * (@ilhaverde) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/) * Hi * I am new to the modern theme and just learning my way around setting it up. There are a few things I’d like to ask about but I’ll start with the featured posts. I’ve got it set up so the featured posts images show as the home page slideshow and the post title displays in the slide as a link. When I click on the title link it opens the page as sort of a ‘pop-up’ page. The thing is, there is no way to close the page. I find I have to click the logo to get back to home page or another link to get to a different page. Is this how it’s supposed to work or is something messed up? * thanks for any help.

You can find it at [http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/](http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/) * As for homepage slideshow, it consists of featured posts ( [http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#banner](http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#banner)). Once you click the slide title, it will get you to the specific post page. This is how it works. There is no “pop-up” page though. You can see how this works at theme demo website at [http://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/modern/](http://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/modern/) * If you post your website URL, I can check whether slideshow works the way it should for you. * Regards, * Oliver * Thread Starter [Mary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilhaverde/) * (@ilhaverde) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983635) * thank you both for responding and for pointing me to the demo page. It’s working the same way my site is working so it’s working as it should. I ended up adding a ‘home’ link in the top menu as you have so it’s an obvious way to return to home page. * The way the featured page/image would drop down on the page made it feel somewhat like a ‘pop up’ page. * I have been reading the manual which helped greatly in learning to set up the featured posts * On my home page, posts that are not featured display at the bottom of the page in a white box which include the date and the text ‘continue reading. Is there any way to remove the date? * Is there a way to make these non featured posts display on all pages? * Being translation-ready, is this related to being multi-language? * Thanks * Theme Author [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983655) * Hi, ** Is there any way to remove the date? To remove the date on your posts you need to [use custom CSS](http://support.webmandesign.eu/forums/topic/css/)( use the one that fits you): * ``` /* Remove the date everywhere: */ .entry-meta .published { display: none; } /* Remove the date only in posts list: */ .posts .published { display: none; } /* Remove the whole post meta section in posts list: */ .posts .entry-meta { display: none; } ``` * **Is there a way to make these non featured posts display on all pages?** What do you mean? You would like to display the posts on a single post page? Well, this is kind of possible with enabling [“Related posts” module of Jetpack plugin](https://jetpack.me/support/related-posts/). You can see these at the bottom of [single post pages of the theme demo website](http://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/modern/post-parts/). * **Being translation-ready, is this related to being multi-language?** Yes. You can try a plugin such as [Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/) to set up your website as multi-lingual. Surely, you need to [translate the theme](http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#localization) into the other requested languages. * If you are new to WordPress I suggest reading/watching the tips from [http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#help-wp](http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#help-wp) * Regards, * Oliver * Thread Starter [Mary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilhaverde/) * (@ilhaverde) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983664) * Hi * Thanks for your patience with my questions and for the the display:none suggestion. I am somewhat familiar with wordpress but I find there’s still a lot more to learn. * Regarding the display of the non-featured posts: * I have set up pages. The pages I have used for the top navigation links. I have set up posts. Some posts are featured and appear in the slideshow. Other non- featured posts appear on the homepage below the slideshow. What I would like is for the non-featured posts to appear on all pages and all post ‘pages’ but I do not want two way related meaning I don’t want pages to show on all post ‘ pages’ I don’t know if I am relating this is a clear way but I will explore jetpacks related post offerings. * If you understand what it is I am trying to accomplish you may see a clearer way of doing this. In short I would like all nonfeatured posts to be linked ( with thumbnail image) at the bottom of all pages…sort of like a footer. Perhaps this is really outside the scope of being specifically modern template related. Thanks for your time with help that you’ve provided. * Theme Author [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983681) * Hi, * If you would like to display blog posts on your pages, you will need to code this functionality into the theme as it is not possible out of the box. Or possibly try searching for a plugin that could do this. But I suggest to rethink this approach. Is it really necessary to display your blog posts on each page? Maybe all you need for those specific pages is to use [sidebar page template](http://www.webmandesign.eu/manual/modern/#tpl-sidebar)( see the [page layout at theme demo website](http://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/modern/contact/)) and add Recent Posts widget in the sidebar? * But if you really need to place posts list at the bottom of each page, you need to code this functionality into the theme as this is not standard in any theme I’ve seen, actually. * Regards, * Oliver * Thread Starter [Mary](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ilhaverde/) * (@ilhaverde) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983700) * ok thanks, I am rethinking this. Can you tell me a way to deal with this issue I am finding? I have embedded a pdf file into a page. The pdf appears to have a gray cast (overlay) to it (instead of looking white) I switched from the pdf to a png image version and it too looks gray so it is something with the template. I don’t want to remove the ‘overlay’ because that seems to define the content area. I’m trying (trial and error) z-index but haven’t determined yet which sections should be done. * Theme Author [WebMan Design | Oliver Juhas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmandesign/) * (@webmandesign) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/featured-post-19/#post-6983707) * Hi, * Please understand that this is a new issue and you should log a new ticket first.
