Speakers Page

I'd like to create a page likes this in the demo: http://demo.gavick.com/wordpress/fest/?cat=87
It looks like a summary of the speakers cathegorie. When I try to do it with cathegorie it looks like http://vorstadtsounds.ch/wordpress/?cat=4
What do I have to do?

And how can i add links like "facebook" or "website" in a single-speakers page in the header?

Hi,

Regarding the facebook or website, please check this thread:
https://www.gavick.com/forums/fest-wp/s ... 32702.html

This appearance from the demo comes from speakers category page by default, but if you want to use it with another category, you have to duplicate Fest/category-speakers.php file and rename it to category-your_category_slug.php file.

Hi

Thanks for that fast answer.

I saw this custom fields and added Facebook and Website. But they are not displayed on the site. Do i have to insert them with a code in addition?

The thing with the category works now with that view! Cool! But i have two categories (for two days) and there are the same artist in both categories even if i choose the category in the speakers-page. I have duplicated the php for both categories.
I'm sorry, I'm not a native Worpress User...

It's ok if you have 2 categories you should duplicate this file twice.

Regarding these custom post fields, please check the attachment did you add this fields it in this way? (name and value)

Hello,

I still have a question about multiple speaker categories. http://www.xtrails.eu/website/

under blog I have three different categories. When I click to display the speakers all three speaker categories show all speakers

for example http://www.xtrails.eu/website/category/speakers4/ only has 2 speaker in , but on the website all or shown.

I have duplicated and renamed these files

category-speaker3.php en category-speaker4.php ( I don't know why but is skipped the speaker2 )

What else do I have to do ?

The widget does seem to work btw

thanks
Wim

Hi,

You duplicated speakers category fil, so other category will also display all speakers custom post type (like the original one).
If you want to change it, you have to edit your category file and change this fragment:

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100 );

to

Code: Select all

$args = array( 'category_name' => 'your_category_slug', 'post_type' => $tmp['name'], 'posts_per_page' => 100 );

Hi.

I still have the problem with the custom fields. I did it like in your screenshot but it doesn't work:

Could you send me a PM with backend access to your website? then i'll be able to help you..

Now this works!
New Problem: Why are there gaps in my category-page? http://vorstadtsounds.ch/?cat=10
And second: Where can i change the colour of the form. I want to have all transparency. http://vorstadtsounds.ch/?page_id=77 (I made the form with the "Form maker pro"

Hello,

I'm not sure which gap do you mean? could you attach a screenshot?
Regarding your second issue, add this code into override.css file:

Code: Select all

article section .wdform_table1 tbody tr:nth-child(2n) {
   background: transparent;
}

GAP.jpg

Oo, it's visible only on Firefox, I've checked Chrome browser.

Please try to add this code:

Code: Select all

.speakers-page .gk-speaker:nth-of-type(4n+1) {
    clear: both;
}

In which file do i have to add this code?

css/override.css (you should add all of your css modifications into this file - it's comfortable during the theme update)

My override.css file looks like this:

/**
*
* -------------------------------------------
* Override
* -------------------------------------------
*
**/

/*
*
* 14. Override
*
*
------------------------------------ */

/* 14.1. Overrided elements
==================================== */

At which position do i have to insert that it works. I tried several...

These lines are only comments.
You have to add your code at the end of the file (after last ===========================*/ line).
Yo have to enable override option from Template Options -> Advanced tab (if you didn't enable it earlier)

Fantastic! Thanks so much!

I can't figure out how to get rid of the bread crumbs showing all of the categories on my page. Please see just under the logo.

I want it only to show "ViP Vape Street / Hosts"

Here is the page: http://vipvapestreet.com/?cat=87

What do you suggest?

Thank you in advance for help.
Joey

Hi,

I'ts something wrong with your categories, because in original version in breadcrumb I can see only Fest / Speakers - on the speakers category. Maybe you assign many categories to your speakers page?

No the speakers page only has one category. "Hosts" assigned to it. I named it Hosts in stead of Speakers.

But the "slug" is still "speakers"

Could you send me a PM with backend access to your website? then I'll be able to check it exactly.

Hi there. I am trying to set up my Speakers page like on the Demo Site but for some reason it does not show up correctly. The Speakers are all listed above each other with the Photo at the top and an excerpt of the content below the photo. The side bar also shows up on the right. I linked the Menu item directly to the Speakers Category.

Another question. Is there a way to customise the READ MORE tag? Currently it show 55 words and ads 3 dots (...) behind it. I would like it to say "Read More" and have a link to the article.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi @SchMedia,

Regarding the speakers page I need your webiste URL (here or you can send me a PM).

Read more button you can add editing Fest/content.php file
and after 22 line

Code: Select all

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

add this fragment:

Code: Select all

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(get_the_ID()); ?>" class="btn"><?php _e('Read more', GKTPLNAME); ?></a>

You can also change amount of words in Template Options -> Advanced tab.

How was the facebook and website issues resolved?

Hi @cathedralalumni,

Did you check my 4th answer from this thread? You have these custom fields filled up, right? Then you should enable "Custom fields" option from Fest -> Template Options -> Advanced tab.

Hi.

I still have the problem with the custom fields. I did it like in your screenshot but it doesn't work:

I'm having this exact problem. Piotr, what did you do for the solution? Facebook and Website will not show up on speakers with custom category.

In response to my own question... I guess I didn't read down far enough. Enabling custom fields fixed my problem.
