Hello Karen,

Most of these teething issues has been resolved in 5.1.3. Is it possible for me to update your site to the latest version?

Yes aslong as I don't lose any of my css changes and settings thats fine.

Thanks

Where did you place your changes Karen?

The css changes have been made in the custom.css file, in the arthur template.

By the way, before I upgrade, can I know which post has this issue with the pound symbol? I tried to access http://www.stoneseed.co.uk/beta/index.php/stoneseed-blog but don't seem to see any post with a pound symbol

It was the the 2nd blog post 'A Woolly Brief Doesn't Mean You Should Fleece Your Client'

I have removed all the pound symbols hence why the text is appearing at the moment.

Hello Karen,

Could you please add the pound symbol back so that I can test this?

No problem I have added the pound symbols in now

Could you give this a try again Karen?

That looks great its all displaying on frontpage with the pound signs now. Thanks

Did you update to the 5.1.3?

Hello Karen,

Yep, I updated EasyBlog to 5.1.3 and everything seems to be running fine By the way, may I suggest that you try out our grid layout rather than using nickel

I temporary tried the grid layout but I couldn't remove the showcase slideshow and all the images were cropped and I couldn't find the settings for it.

Not sure if I understand you here Karen. I don't seem to see any slideshow on http://www.stoneseed.co.uk/beta/index.php/stoneseed-blog ?

The main blog is still on Nickel layout however I have made a separate one for the Grid Layout

http://www.stoneseed.co.uk/beta/index.php/blog-2

Not entirely sure what do you want me to do here. Do you mean you want to use the front page layout or do you want to use the grid layout?

Basically you told me to try out the Grid Layout. Which I have but it looks totally different to my Frontpage layout.

I know alot of it is css but in order for it to look the same I need to remove the showcase slider and stop the images cropping which I couldn't find out how to do.

I just need to know how to do those 2 things.

Hello Karen,

Ah okay sorry I got confused as you were referring to the frontpage layout and grid layout so not really sure which featured section were you referring to.

Anyway I have made some modifications on the /blogs/grid/default.php file , http://take.ms/3hQRV to remove the showcase area. This file is now stored in your template override folder by default in /templates/arthur/html/com_easyblog/blogs/grid/default.php

Thanks for your help. I give it ago and play around with it a bit more.

No problem I will mark this thread as resolved but if you have any questions, do start a new ticket. Thanks!
