    See attached screen catpured 

    Soledad post meta does not display icons only options.

    1. author avatar (sufficient, if no avatar just show an user icon)

    "written by" is not needed.  (professional news site just show the avatar)

    an option to turn off the "written by" is needed  

    2. comments icon needed and option to turn comments text off needed

    3. views icon same as 2.

    4. donation same as 2.

    5. There is no follow author meta

    6. Vote thumbs up and down required to be added. This is important especially for video posts focused sites.

    Please ask the developers to add these above options to make soledad a truly professional high end go to theme.

    I am sure these changes will further increase soledad sales. 

    Thanks and regards,

    I don't need to create a new single post template

    I just need the meta to provide graphic display optioins.

    That's what's missing in Soledad.

    see attached screen capture

    A flagship premium theme like Soledad should have this feature.

    Graphic meta icon save a lot of space on single row which needs to show all meta especially on mobile phones

    Can I duplicate the single post template and modify the meta section with icons??

    Does the template editor support meta icons instead of just text?

    If that's possible, it'll be much easier than creating a new single post template from scratch


  •  2,610
    PenciDesign replied

    Hi,

    1. Yes. You can duplicate the current post template and edit it with the Elementor,

    2. The meta elements on the Elementor post builder support show post meta with label and icon.

    I am looking for replacing or modifying soledad theme single post template. the meta section 

    soledad template library in elementor I don't believe is the place for that.

    Those post templates are different from my installed news station demo single post.

    i do see what i need => meta icons.

    see attached circled area in my screenshot

    how do I get that for my installed news station ??

    i see that there is post meta elementor element

    ######################################################################

    how do i export my installed news station demo SINGLE post template

    so I can import into elementor to modify the meta section with your post meta element with icons.

    #######################################################################

    PS..ALL DEMOS SHOULD COME WITH META WITH ICONS OPTION.

    Here is the screenshot example for meta items display on single post

    1. author - need option to display user avatar ONLY .. no author name no text ie, "written by" redundant 

    2, commentsz views etc. only need icons and counter.

    3. donate .. need option to show icon + text 

    4. like dislike - need icon outline thumbs up icon. NOT HEART ICON. Reason: hear shape is already used by wishlist in shop. therefore, unique icons is on order. Site owner can decide which one to use. But Default should be Thumbs Up / Down  

    Soledad  Single post template in the library I looked at 2 of them ALL HAVE OPTIONS ABOVE.

    Soledad development team needs to put this in NEWS STATION demo template and all other demos.

    All I need is my single post template on my site.

    and just have the meta section using icons for the meta elements. 

    Please use my site single post to build the template.

    this should be in all demos.

    Hi,

    We have a lot of single post templates, so this progress may take a lot of time to convert into the Elementor template files.

    If you need to convert any single template to Elementor single post template, please send me the URL. I'll create it for you.

    Let's stop the back an forth .. I am getting tired already.

    The soledad demo I installed is

    NEWS STATION.

    So the single post template that comes with News Station Demo

    is the one that is missing the meta icons config. options.

    just fix that and we are good to go.

    Thanks for the single post template

    I imported and set my single post template to your custom single post template

    1. However, the post title, category etc. no longer shows bellow the video/feature post image

    2. Breadcrumbs is showing now. I disabled breadcrumbs.

    See attached

    I have set it so that post title and meta etc. show under the feature image and youtube video.

    Hi,

    1. The Elementor single post builder will ignore all the settings on the Customizer,

    2. You can customize the post template with the featured image thumbnail by going to dashboard > Post Template: edit it with the Elementor.

    Where and how do I configure in Elementor Single Post Template you sent me to

    If this change breaks the Customization Setting, Soledad development team needs to provide an update ASAP to fix demos that are missing meta items configuratio.

    PenciDesign replied

    Hi,

    1.  After importing the Elementor template into the post template, you need to assign this template by going to Appearance > Customize > Single Posts > General > Custom Post Builder Template,

    2. Soledad theme doesn't have any issue with the single post template and default settings, please check your site and make sure you've config all the settings correctly.

    PenciDesign,
    Best Regards.

    Of course I set single post template 

    Under Custom Post Builder Template to what you gave me.

    Name is

    news station single post template

    customizer setting are the same as follows

    1. Hide Featured Image on Top ENABLED 

    This prevents Youtube Video showing Feature image on top and

    YT video below it

    2. Move Categories, Post Title, Post Meta To Bellow Featured Image 

    ENABLED

    See attached 

    1. single post with your supplied template

    the meta, title, category etc. goes back to the top of the YT video.

    2. before using your supplied template

    the meta, title, category etc. displays below the YT video.


    You said 1. The Elementor single post builder will ignore all the settings on the Customizer,

    I already set custome post template to your template.

    so now you need to fix or tell me how to get my SHOW META, TITLE etc. back to where I need it to be

    under the YT video.

    Hi,

    This is not a problem, the single post content on your site was built with the Single Post Template, please go to dashboard > Post Template: select the current post template then start to edit it with the Elementor Page Builder, drag/drop or use the [PenciDesign] Post Pages Builder to build the content.

    If you can't do it OR don't understand, please wait for me to create the video tutorial.

    THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH SOLEDAD OMITTED META ICONS FOR META ELEMENTS IN NEWS STATION DEMO

    I HAVE my single post display to show the POST TITLE, etc. UNDER YT video. WITH THE OPTION BELOW

    • Move Categories, Post Title, Post Meta To Bellow Featured Image

    Everything looks fine except for the META ITEMS display.

    With YOUR supplied ELEMENTOR single post template.

    I NOW have lost my 

    • Move Categories, Post Title, Post Meta To Bellow Featured Image

    OF COURSE IT IS A PROBLEM.

    YOUR SINGLE POST TEMPLATE SHOULD DO IS TO GIVE ME THE META ICONS. 

    Instead of spending time creating a video. Why DON'T YOU FIX the problem I am having because of the custom single post template I got from you??

    =================================================================================================

    The ultimate solution is to get Soledad development team to put the META ICONS configuration options back in all Elementor Demos.

    Hi, 

    1. I do not need help on Donation icon color.Thanks for the donation icon that works now.

    Why is it not showing before? That's my question.

    2. I don't have problem with the single post layout. The issue is with the META section elements not having icons options for display.

    Therefore, Creating a custom single post template for a section issue DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR ME. Because I have to match the fonts and everything else to my installed demo. 

    The proper solution is for Soledad Team to update the theme with META ICONS.

    Because I am interested in buying additional license for a number of demos i can use for additional websites. I am not interested in creating a custom single post template for each additional demo that I will purchase license for.

    For now,

    Below is what I need

    META SECTION

    1. Post Author.  

    I need to show the avatar and not author name 

    2. Views ICON Comments ICON

    Can I get it just like what you did with DONATION ICON??

    3. Remove the vertical divider between each meta element. I STILL need EMPTY space to separate each meta element.

     Regards,

    Are you saying the following cannot be done??

    META SECTION

    1. Post Author.  

    show author avatar instead of author name 

    3. Use spaces instead of vertical divider between each meta element. 

    I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE SINGLE SITE THAT USES VERTICAL DIVIDER AS SEPARATOR BETWEEN EACH META ITEM

    AND I HAVE VISITED THOUSANDS OF WEBSITES OVER THE YEARS.
