Hi there!
I’m using the theme and I love it! I tried to create a child theme because I like to have different pages for the frontpage and the blog. In order to do that I created both the front-page.php and the home.php page.
I also wanted to have the featured page and posts on the front page. So i also created a header.php file for my child theme. Within this file I only changed the line 36 from
if ( is_home() ) {
to
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
The thing works. However, instead of the excerpt, the frontpage shows the entire featured page. Can you help me figuring out how to solve the problem?
By the way, I used elementor to create the featured page.

Thank you in advance,
nicola

When I set up the home page to show my most recent posts, it grabs the first fifty words of the post as a preview, ignoring the fact that I specified a “post excerpt” when I created the content.

I have already gone to my WordPress.com->Settings-Reader configuration and set “For each post in a feed, include:” to “Excerpt.” I have verified that the excerpts are selected correctly for other themes, but not for this one.

I know that this is an older theme, but is there any place that I can request support for post excerpts to be added to it? I would hope that is a fairly simple modification to make.

Hello, my website (theme: Textbook) has a problem on its homepage when accessed through the mobile site. The “older articles” — entitled “articles plus anciens” since our site’s in French — button does not work from a mobile device. I haven’t tried on my tablet, but I noticed that you can tap all you want on the button and nothing happens, which isn’t the case when you click using a computer.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Hi!

I’m using the Textbook theme like it is advertised on WordPress.com (by using the blog page as the homepage), but am running into a couple of usability issues.

It seems like the WordPress.com version has this compact Older posts button that loads more posts inline when you click it.

While I’m fine if this inline loading of Older posts isn’t designed to work with self-hosted WordPress, I’m seeing 2 glaring usability issues with the implementation for self-hosted WordPress that I’d really appreciate help with.

1. The Older posts button is not clickable on mobile. Nothing happens when I tap it. (I believe someone else also reported this issue earlier, but changed their theme before someone could take a look at it.)
2. When the Older/Newer posts button is clicked on desktop, it loads the next/previous page of blog posts, but doesn’t anchor the page where the next set of posts begin. It just stays at the top of the page, requiring users to manually scroll down to the posts section. Is there any code I could use to anchor the Older/Newer posts buttons to this section of the page?

Hi there,

I would like to use the TextBook theme for my project. What I don’t like about the theme is the Haeder menu of the desktop version. I would therefore like to change the theme so that the menu of the responsive versions is used or displayed in the desktop version. For this I need help, tips and advice.

Thanks a lot!

The blog I need help with is https://www.womo-reisen.de.

Hi everyone, I installed the theme but I can’t find the Featured Content panel in the foreground (included in the window) inside the customization, can you help me?

Hi all,
Ive created tags for my posts. But when I click on a tag the page says “Nothing Found” even though my posts are tagged up correctly.
Does anyone know why this is!?
Thanks

Hi all,
How can I change the excerpt length? Ive tried the usual ways (creating an action in my functions file) but nothing seems to work.
Thanks

Hi,

My Header Image is not showing up in Mobile Devices or when I reduce desktop screen size below certain px.

The following code starts appearing in red strike-through in such cases :-

.site-header { background-image: url(https://myeternaltrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harishchandragarh_Header.jpg); }

I’d really appreciate any clues to solve this problem !

I have a website at [ redundant link removed ] and I have two problems:

1. When I have a header image it looks like this on my pc: https://imgur.com/VXMX7OE It is just above the featured content and size of the image is too big (this is my problem number one)

2. When I open the same page in my mobile browser but in desktop mode, the header image stretches on the left side and the full image is not visible (like it is on pc) and it becomes too big after which I see the featured content. Here is how it looks https://imgur.com/a/zN8kqKF .This is my problem number two.

3. Now, when I don’t have any header image there is a small “gap” between the featured content and the top.
That’s the perfect size for me. I want the header image to fit that size.

This is how it looks without the image (please see the size of the gap b/w the top and featured content): https://imgur.com/a/IuHDJC5. Can someone help with the header image size so that it can fit the size of “gap” and also avoid the stretching discrepancy between a phone(desktop mode) and a pc?

Note: When I have a header image and open any post (on my phone or pc) I can see that the size of the image is already perfect (although blurred, take a look here https://imgur.com/a/rOi8FlJ) but as I have said earlier I want this size to be on my homepage (without any blur of course).

Thanks for reading all the way through.

Hi Textbook Community,

I am trying to Make only NAME field Mandatory in my comment section of the posts. And somehow I managed to do that by adding following piece of code in my functions.php file

function require_comment_name($fields) {
if ($fields['comment_author'] == '')
wp_die('Error: please enter a valid name.');
return $fields;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'require_comment_name');

But there are two problems which I am not able to resolve :-

1- The Validation Result is shown after Posting the comment. While I want it to happen in such a way that I should not be able to Post comment without filling the NAME field (similar to COMMENT text area)
2- I should be able to show “Required” Text in the Name Field Area.

Any help in this will be much appreciated !

Hi everyone,

this is my first post here.

I opened the editor, but I couldn’t find where I can remove or translate the “Add a comment”

btw, “Add a comment” in italian become “Aggiungi un commento”.

Thank you

Hey there,

For some reason when I click the search button at the top of the page it auto scrolls down but the search box doesn’t appear. It worked perfectly at the start and on the mobile site however it has decided to stop.

Cheers!

Hi Team,

Can anyone help me in removing the content “Customer Testimonials” from the testimonial page. I couldn’t find any configuration where it can be removed.

Hi,

Not sure why, but suddenly my featured images are not displaying on Homepage as well as Post Page. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

I cannot find where to change the number of posts displayed on the front page (NOT featured content, but the colored cards below that).

Changing the Reading settings only affects Archives, not the front page.

The template hierarchy for the Front page is not well described. There isn’t a “front-page” or “home” template that I can suss out.

hello.
the (older post) button to go to the next page didnt work on my site for mobile. for desktop it works. how to fix that?
js and css are fully loaded. but in mobile I cant find the way.
my site is pingsunday.com

When creating a submenu its description also appears in the dropdown. Unsightly.

The only way for it to look ok is to delete the description which then lessens SEO.

My post is a single image.

The only way it will appear is if I both insert it into the post and Feature Image it. That doubles it.

If I remove either, it vanishes altogether.

I was using the Textbook theme on a WordPress.com account, and recently switched to a www.remarpro.com hosted through bluehost. On the .com site I was able to change the color scheme, but I’m not seeing a way to do that on the bluehost hosted site. Am I just missing it or is that not an option?

Hi,

My customizer stopped working as of late.
I tried deactivating the plugins I believe could be conflicting, but had no success.
I reached out to my hosting for some analysis and they did the following changes:

Changed variables to:

max_execution_time = 120
max_input_vars = 5000
upload_max_filesize = 128M
memory_limit = 768M
post_max_size = 128M

and tried PHP 7.0.30, PHP 7.1.18 and PHP 7.2.5.

Nothing worked and I still have the issue.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,

I need help to resolve the Hentry and Hatom Error for my Textbook theme. I am seeing following error in Google Structured Data for Post, Category and Page. These are for Hentry as well as Hatom microformats.

Missing: author
Missing: updated

I tried some of the generic solutions by editing single.php and page.php, but nothing helped!

Hi, I am not able to find the Social Links Menu location in the Menu Setting of Textbook. All the descriptions in the Theme says that it should be present there. But for me it says that Your theme supports 2 menus : Header and Footer. Can anyone help ? Is there anything I’m doing incorrectly ?
P.S. I am using Textbook on a self-hosted site.

Hi,

I’m looking to stretch the menu bar width of the theme to match the header picture, so it looks even.
I’m using Mega Menu plugin for the menu bar, but they said that to expand the width I need to change the CSS of the theme.

Any help is certainly most appreciated.

Hi,

I’m looking to remove the Search bar on the right corner of the page, at the top.
I’ve tried countless CSS but it still won’t budge.

Any help would be so very much appreciated!

I’m using textbook theme.

The top level menu contains “Home, Source, Themes, Feldenkrais Method, Contact Us”. If the screen/window is too big, then the menu wraps and takes up 2 lines with Contact Us appearing below Home. If the screen is less wide, then the menu fits on one line.

How do I make it so the menu always appears on one line?

Thanks,
