Sidekick: Several problems / bugs

  • hallokai · Member ·

    Dear all,

    first of all: I love the overall theme!

    I encountered the following problems / bugs, maybe some are features and I just couldn’t figure out how to properly configure them ;)

    1. When opening + closing an image gallery on an earlier post, the scroll-position is reset to zero. That’s quite annoying since the user has to scroll down all the way back to the posting he wanted to view.

    2. Is there a way to switch from infinite scroll to pages of posting? When you switch of infinite scroll, a button with “more postings” appears, which has pretty much the same effect as infinite scroll. Pages of postings would be much more performance-friendly, when dealing with blogs featuring lots of fotos.

    3. In the “Settings >> Reading” section there is an option so that a preview of the posts are shown on the frontpage instead of full-text. The sidekick theme seems to just post everything as full-text, even though I have the “show summary” option activated.

    Thanks in advance!

    Kai

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    1. This isn’t standard behavior, and it can only fixed by WP.

    2. Only if you have the Custom Design upgrade.

    3. The summary option in Settings > Reading refers to your feed, not your actual blog front.
    To truncate regular posts on your blog, you can use the read-more tag:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
    For gallery posts, you can select the gallery post format, so that the gallery won’t show on the blog front.

    Hey – thanks for your answer!

    The turnication is very usefull, and more or less resolves the problems I had with 1. + 2. – since I will put the gallery inside the turnicated area. This improves the overall fronpage performance and makes infinite scroll useable again.

    Thanks!!
