Header image not showing on some page types; Blog, Shop and single product page

Hey @tershoes,

thanks for choosing Bento! The native blog posts page, as well as other archive-type pages, have a different structure in WordPress compared with the normal static pages – it’s thus not possible to add an extended header to the native blog posts page – as an alternative, you can use a separate static page with a “Grid” layout (more info – here) to display the posts.

Thanks, yes reading (and now understanding) the description for Bento theme core functionality – posts and products are not covered.
I’ve tried to use the grid layout option but, as a newbie, my skills are not yet up to making this work. Can you pass on any links to tutorials or examples of settings to use – especially for applying the Bento theme to WooCommerce Products.

Thank you

You can find detailed information on using the Grid layout in this section of the theme’s manual. In order to display various types of content on a grid page, you can adjust the “Content types” multicheck option in the “Grid Settings” box which appears when you choose the “Grid” template for a page.

I can offer a way to create a header across the full width of the native blog post page. It’s not perfect, but pretty good. Create a post which starts off with an image. Using PageBuilder set up a single column row, and insert the SiteOrigin image widget, and upload an image. Click on the “Edit Row” option in the menu that that appears when you hover over the spanner of that row in Pagebuilder. In the window that comes up, go to the “Row Styles” menu on the right, click on “Layout”, scroll down to “Row Layout” and in the box select “Full Width Stretched”. Click “Done” at the bottom right hand corner of the window. You will be returned to the main editing page of the post. In the “Publish” box at the top of the right hand column, edit the “visibility” to make the post sticky. You will now have a post that has an image full-width across the whole blog page. Of course you can add to the post, below this image, any text you like through inserting further rows using PageBuilder. Do not give the post a name. This image now appears at the top of the native blog page, full width across the page.

The flaw is that on the blog page, showing through the left hand side of the image is a date of posting, which is also a link to the original post which is the source of the header now appearing across the blog page. Maybe someone in the forum may know how to get rid of this date?
Thanks, Joe B

The above method may work also, maybe even better, for the Shop and Single Product pages. However, I am not familiar with these pages, and so cannot say.

Could Bento provide an option that the blog page would not display the date of a sticky post? This would provide an easy way to have a heading full width across the native WP blog page as described in my earlier post on this topic.
In addition, this option might be useful in other ways–there is probably a variety of reasons for people to choose not to display the date of a sticky post.
Thanks.

Thanks for the idea, Joe, we’ll add this to our backlog.
