Hai,

I upgraded from EasyBlog 3.9 to 5 and now all my custom styling is gone.
Custom css (wich was stored in custom css file of my template) does not work anymore. Modules are not in place. Even the theme (Vintage) looks completely different.
Besides that all the configuration settings of 3.9 are gone as well.

How can I fix this? Of course I do not want to style everything all over again.

Regards, Maurice
Hey Maurice,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

In Easyblog 5, we have re-structure the theme css class name, so you have to re-customize again with your custom css in your template file.

1. Is the styling (overall appearence) of the themes in 5 different then in 3.9?
2. Where can I find examples of the appearence of the different themes?
3. Can I download somewhere the latest version of 3.9? Where? Is this version stable?

Hey Maurice,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Please find the response to your inquiries below:


1. Is the styling (overall appearence) of the themes in 5 different then in 3.9?

Most of the overall appearance has been retained as much as possible in the themes. However, in EasyBlog 5, we have added Bootstrap support and we had to restructure the theme files and this is why your overrides are no longer working.


2. Where can I find examples of the appearence of the different themes?

You can test it out on our demo site at http://demo.stackideas.com . Alternatively you could change your themes at the back end of EasyBlog


3. Can I download somewhere the latest version of 3.9? Where? Is this version stable?

Unfortunately right now it isn't possible but you can contact me on Skype (marklee_777) and I will send you a copy of it.

Hey Maurice,

I upgraded to EasyBlog 5. Some questions, see screenshot and http://www.sitesuccess.nl/Blog .
1. Where can I change this text? And how/where can I change the color of the button?

That `continue Reading` button language string is located in JoomlaFolder\language\xx-XX\xx-XX.com_easyblog.ini
COM_EASYBLOG_CONTINUE_READING="Continue reading"


But what my suggested you should use Joomla language override feature so you no need modify the file for every update -> documentation from Joomla : https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

2. How/where can I add some extra space between those 2 lines?

You can try apply this following css code into JoomlaFolder/templates/motion/css/custom.css

div#fd.eb .eb-post-rating {
margin-top: 10px !important;
}


3. How/where can I remove this link?

You can disable from backend > Easyblog > settings > layout > listing > show post author - NO (screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/yCB2z1yx )

4. How/where can I disable this icon/image or move it upwards so it is in front of the title of each article?

May i know what is that module ?

You're welcome.

It seems like we missing an option for this from the module, we will add an option in next release version.

By the way, you can apply my css code in your current template file, so it will hide that icon from the module.

.mod_easyblogmostpopularpostshadow .eb-mod .fa.fa-align-left{
display: none !important;
}

div#fd.eb .mod-item+.mod-item {
margin-top: 5px !important;
padding-top: 0px !important;
}


Hope this help.

Hai Arlex,

1. Works fine. And what about changing the color of the button, how/where can I do that?
2. And how/where can I add some extra space under the tags?
4. For the most popular posts module I want the same font-size as the categories module. How/where can I do that? And what is the font-size of the categories module?

Regards, Maurice

Hey Maurice,

1. Works fine. And what about changing the color of the button, how/where can I do that?

You can add this following css code into JoomlaFolder/templates/motion/css/custom.css

div#fd.eb .eb-post-more .btn {
background-color: red !important;
}


2. And how/where can I add some extra space under the tags?

You can adjust the space between with first tag and second tag by using the following css.
div#fd.eb .eb-tags .col-cell+.col-cell {
padding: 0 15px !important;
}


4. For the most popular posts module I want the same font-size as the categories module. How/where can I do that? And what is the font-size of the categories module?

Actually that was same size 16px, if you would like to change that font size, you can adjust following that css code.
div#fd.eb .eb-mod-title {
font-size: 16px !important;
}


By the way, I am really sorry but unfortunately our support policy does not cover customizations

Hai Arlex,

After the upgrade I encounter some problems.
1. Comments not visible and not possible anymore to leave a comment although I activated the comments. How/where can I fix that?
2. Ratings are sometimes yellow (as they should be) and sometimes have no color (grey) although I am 100% sure that the score should be 4 or 5 stars. If you go to http://www.sitesuccess.nl/Blog you will see what I mean. Or: http://i.imgur.com/4j79WAC.png to see the grey stars. How/where can I fix that?

Regards, Maurice

Hey Maurice,

I would personally prefer that you start a new thread instead and provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on your comment no visible issue.

Regarding with your second issue, that was known issue, you can download my attached file and replace into JoomalFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\models\ratings.php it should fix this issue.

It seems like you didn't enable this comment setting, you can check my attached screenshot below.

Yes, the safe way is put your site detail into this page -> http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site
