I should have the featured posts on a grid line

I think you’re misunderstanding how the theme works.

Setting a post as featured removes it from the grid section, unless the option to “also display tagged posts outside the Featured Content area” is selected in Customize > Featured Content.

By default, featured posts only display in the slider, not “on a grid line”.

Below the slider then shows regular non-featured posts.

The number of posts in each row below the featured content area is determined by the width of a users browser/screen, it’s not always “3 images and posts across”, it will be 2 for most users.

For example, take a look at the image at the top right of the theme demo at https://wordpress.com/theme/dyad-2

You’ll see that there are 2 posts in each row:

https://i2.wp.com/theme.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/dyad-2-screenshot2.png?ssl=1&w=735

Everything on your site is working as intended and as shown in the theme demo:

I’m back to using Dyad-1, that is what you see. With Dyad-2 all the same occurs.

Sorry, I don’t understand this comment.

Posts are displaying, and the “nothing found” message is gone.

That was the problem described in the opening post of this thread, and that is no longer happening. Is that correct?

If so, what is currently not working on the site as you expect it to?

Excellent, thank you.

I can see the new post, and the “nothing found” message no longer appears – the theme is working as intended.

Can you describe what isn’t now working correctly or isn’t working as you expect it to?

Please publish a post that is not tagged as featured.

Yes the “Nothing Found” message is gone when I published the test posts.

So the problem in the opening post is resolved when additional posts are published – they appear and the “nothing found” message is gone?

If the issue isn’t resolved, please make the site visible.

Yes, I’m still around.

I removed the 2 test posts so you’ll see “Nothing Found”.

Can you clarify that – the problem stated in the opening post was that there was a “nothing found” message on the home page.

Quote: ” my posts don’t show – all I get is “Nothing Found”

Are you saying that the message is gone when additional non-featured posts are published?

Can you make the site visible so we can see what’s happening?

If you can, this could be an easy issue to resolve.

If not, I’m afraid I can’t help.

I’m not familiar with your hosting company, Bluehost, but they appear to have an option to enable and disable their coming soon page in Settings > General > (scroll down) Bluehost Coming Soon page.

That can be disabled so we can see the site, then enabled once the issue is resolved.

Also, can you clarify where the “nothing found” message is appearing – is it on the home page or is it on each individual post?

Is it possible to temporarily make the site visible to us?

It’s difficult to understand and troubleshoot the issue blindfolded.

If we can see the problem, this should be relatively straightforward to deal with.

Edited: overlapping replies

There needs to be more posts published on the site than there are featured posts.

By default, featured posts are removed from the the normal content area (the loop) to prevent them from appearing twice on the same blog index page – they will only appear in the slider, not below it.

So if you have 4 featured posts, and no others, then there are no other posts to display beneath the featured area – which results in the “Nothing Found” message.

Alternatively, if you’d like the same posts to appear in both areas, please navigate to Customize > Featured Content, then enable “Also display tagged posts outside the Featured Content area.”

Have 3 Posts but “Nothing Found” displays.

Have “Published” the posts, they are “Public” and not “drafts”.

Hi there,

Does the number of published posts exceed the number of featured posts?

If it doesn’t, please try publishing some additional posts – but do not make them featured – then see if they appear.

You’re welcome, glad I could help ??

The change the colours when hovering over the view link, please try using:

.project-navigation .jetpack-portfolio.has-post-thumbnail .view-link:hover {
    color: black !important;
    border-color: black !important;
}

Please clarify which color you’d like the border and text to be:

a) normally (when not hovered)

and

b) when hovered.

To change both items to black, please use:

.js .project-navigation .jetpack-portfolio.has-post-thumbnail .view-link {
    color: black !important;
    border-color: black !important;
}
