Hi! I am trying to make a link from the grid filter portfolio (domain.com/#filter), but I can not. I read that it was possible by this method that you indicated: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/10/filter-link.png Or also by adding ”?filter_item=filter” but it does not work for me.
This is the link for you to see it in action (for example I would like a permalink for items only from Mexico): http://fotona.es.paginadesarrollo.com/principales-proyectos/You can help me? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Did you take the screenshot from a documentation page? If so can you let me know which so I can update it? thanks!
The correct way is just using ?filter=ID or ?filter=slug.
Examples:
- http://fotona.es.paginadesarrollo.com/principales-proyectos/?filter=5
- http://fotona.es.paginadesarrollo.com/principales-proyectos/?filter=mexico
- AJ
Thanks, it works perfect!!
I took the screenshot from the following comment posted by you here, on themeforest: http://snpy.in/2EQQqV
I have not located the use of this “url filter” in the documentation… where is it?
Thank you very much!
I don’t believe it’s in the docs, but I can definitely add it somewhere. Not 100% sure where the most obvious place would be all suggestions welcome, thanks!
Thanks for everything!
Will do, thanks for the suggestion! Have a wonderful weekend 
Hi, for some reason 2 of the feature images on the portfolio slider on the home page look fuzzy. why would this be? they are not fuzzy on photography page or individual portfolio page. http://dianefoy.com/ it is the 3rd and 4th images. thanks
Hi,
This is because the original images are only 150 by 150 pixels but the container they are in is larger – https://cl.ly/lGM8 – so they get stretched a bit and thus lose their quality.
You could try displaying more items (5 or 6) instead of 4 which will make them smaller or upload larger images.
- AJ
image is 379 × 560 same as all. could it be set at thumbnail size for those 2 somewhere?
By any chance are you using JetPack Photon on your site? Looks like they may be loading from there and being resized. JetPack Photon does this to speed up the site but it looks like it’s not returning correct dimensions 
You can try editing the carousel and entering a custom crop value in there for the images and see if it helps. If you are trying to show the full images then maybe that’s why Photon returns smaller ones. I’m not 100% sure how their system works since it’s all on their end. But I’m pretty sure that’s where the issues are coming from.
- AJ
ok, I didn’t know I was using photon, I disabled it and it seems to be fixed. thanks
Hi AJ, I am using your snippet below to modify a page header title, but the <title></title> doesn’t end up matching, how might I make this snippet affect both together?
https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/alter-main-page-title/Hi,
The title tag comes directly from WordPress via:
add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
Theme’s shouldn’t make any alterations to this because it would cause conflicts with 3rd party SEO plugins.
Where are you trying to change things exactly? Because maybe there is a better way that I can suggest.
For tweaking the main title attribute across your site I would recommend WordPress SEO by Yoast – http://www.wpexplorer.com/yoast-seo-guide/
Hi AJ, thanks again for quick reply.
The reason I am trying to also modify title in head section at same time, is that I am targeting a dynamic page being generated by a plugin, that does not exist in the WP database.
You had suggested a couple days ago in support comment (comment_16748950) to use snippets to modify layout and elements on these dynamic pages. That suggestion worked perfectly, and I have modified the title of one such dynamic page, but I want the title in the head section to match the page title. I am not sure Yoast SEO would work for this, because again these are dynamic pages that are created by plugin that aren’t in WP database.
Oh ya I remember 
So you can always change the title generated by WordPress via the wp_title filter – example:
add_filter( 'wp_title', function( $title, $sep ) {
if ( is_page( 'about' ) ) {
$title = 'CUSTOM TITLE';
}
return $title;
}, 10, 2 );
- AJ
Hi AJ, thanks for that, I am wondering if it’s possible to change wp_title using the following if statement? It works fine for modifying wpex_title based on url of current page, but when I try to modify wp_title it doesn’t work.
$current = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$string = "community/mckinney/";
// Change the title based on IDX page
if ( strpos($current,$string) ) {
$title = "McKinney, Texas";
}
Ah looks like WordPress changed some things in version 4.4 that I wasn’t aware of and you need to use ‘pre_get_document_title’ instead of wp_title…
add_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', function( $title ) {
// Get current url
$current = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$string = "community/mckinney/";
// Change the title based on IDX page
if ( strpos( $current, $string ) !== false ) {
$title = "McKinney, Texas";
}
// Return the correct title
return $title;
}, 10 );
When using strpos always check to make sure it’s not false as well (good habit since strpos could return a non-boolean value which evaluates to false).
- AJ
Worked like a charm, thanks for the suggestion on strpos too. I’m sure you hear this all the time, but your support is top notch. Take care AJ
Great, I’m glad that worked for you & never heard it enough, so thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend,
AJ
ps: If you haven’t yet whenever you get a chance to go to your ThemeForest “downloads” and give the theme a rating I would really appreciate it.
Seems the theme is breaking in IE 8, is there any way around this? Also I have seen issues of random pages not pulling the CSS. I have made some changes to the site caching so maybe that will fix it, but if you have any other ideas I’d be glad to hear them. Thanks!
Hi,
What specifically is breaking in IE8? Also do you have the issues when viewing the live demos as well or only on your site (if it’s the latter please share the URL so I can see). At this point I don’t have enough information to be able to assist you with this.
Additionally, how many people are actually visiting your site in IE8? This version was released in 2009 and by now people should really have updated. If you are getting a lot of traffic from IE8 (you can check this via Google Analytics) you may want to consider adding something like this to your site – https://browser-update.org/ – to help spread the message
All CSS is loaded via wp_enqueue_scripts if it’s not loading on certain pages the issue lays outside the scope of the theme so please double check the caching tweaks you made to see if they work and if not please try disabling other plugins to test, thanks. If you still can’t get things working let me know so I can further assist.

ps: I noticed your support license has expired, if at this time you can renew your support license I would really appreciate it. You can also purchase a new copy of the theme for another site/client and it will also renew your support. If financially you can’t at this time I understand but would really appreciate it since I spend a lot of time and money supporting and updating the product – thank you!

Sometime ago I added to the very top of this site a message which reads:
All our Football Garden Goal products, with best online prices can be purchased from our preferred online partner soccertackle.com
I cannot for the life of me remember or find where this message is entered in the back end and enable/ disabled, could you advise where it it. 
Thank you
Chris
Hi Chris,
This appears to be coming from the WooCommerce notice which is altered at WooCommerce > Settings > Store notice text
- AJ
aHH that explains it – Thanks AJ
Hi AJ,
In one of your blog posts on your website, you included an articles that recommend using the broken link checker plugin.
I installed it but my hosting company WP engine contacted me to let me know that it was on their list of unapproved plugins and if I did not remove it that it would be automatically removed at some point.
I was wondering if you recommend any other plugins for finding broken links?
Thanks! David
Hi David,
The plugin is pretty resource intensive the reason they probably ban it is people were using it too often causing servers to slow down
We use an app named Integrity to check our sites – http://peacockmedia.software/mac/integrity/free.html – which you can run locally on your computer which works pretty good.
- AJ
Hi AJ,
You’re probably right about that plugin. I’ll give integrity a try.
Thanks, David
Hi AJ,
I have a question for you about the checkout page. The way we designed our checkout page, you get to the place order button after you fill out the form with your billing details and scroll down to fill in your credit card info below that. So when you click the place order button, you don’t see the progress indicator without scrolling back up to the top of the page.
Is it possible to move the progress indicator so you can see it below the fold when you have scrolled down to the place order button? The way it is now, since it takes a while for it to process the order and redirect to the Thanks for Your Order page, it seems like nothing is happening unless you know to scroll back up to the top of the page.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks! David
Hi David,
Can you share the URL in question so I can have a look at what you did exactly? Another solution may be whenever the button is clicked that the window scrolls back up so the loader is in view (easy with a little javascript). I would like to see the URL to provide you with the best solution – thanks
ps: In the future can you submit new comments for new comments? Since this new comment is unrelated to the original comment it just dis-organizes things a bit especially for other customers looking for answers to the same questions – thanks!
Hi AJ,
Yes, I will send new comments in a new thread next time, sorry about that.
Here is the URL for our checkout page: https://www.lightofmind.com/checkout-2/Thanks, David
Hi David,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner!
- First of all this – https://cl.ly/lKwS – is cool (good idea!)
- Regarding the cart..this actually happens on my test site as well now that I double check. Basically the bottom part should be grayed out like the top – https://cl.ly/lLap – but there is some sort of floating issue so to fix it the best way is to add a clearfix like this:
.woocommerce-checkout:after {
content: "";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
zoom: 1;
}
I tested and it should work (also added for the next update) – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/
- AJ
Hi AJ,
Glad you liked our custom snippet for our coupon deals on the checkout page 
Thanks a bunch for the code for moving the progress animation. I’m wondering how long it will be until your next update when you will be including that?
Cheers, David
Hi David,
I may be able to do the update this weekend (fingers crossed). But I have family from out of town so I don’t know how much work they’ll let me get done – ha Updates take a bit extra because I like to update my live demos and check every single page to make sure I don’t see errors, which is pretty time consuming.
- AJ
AJ,
Well, even though you will likely not work on it this weekend, it sounds like it might be in the next couple weeks which is great.
Enjoy your weekend – even if you can’t work
David
Hi AJ, Hope you can help me. I’ve created a full width row (stretched no padding) with a background colour. I’ve given it a class name of .myfullwidthrow . I want to use these rows to contain a heading that I will use throughout the site, so I’ve added the total theme “Heading” inside the row and would like to set a max-height or fixed height for these types of rows using CSS. I am having trouble getting this to work. What class names/id’s should i be targeting in my stylesheet to get this to work. Thanks, Lucy
I’ve figured out how to do it. Put the background colour on the Heading element rather than the row, and set the line height or padding to create desired height
Great, I’m glad you got things working how you wanted Lucy, thank you for letting me know!
Hi, is it possible to disable the default lightbox so that a different one can be used? Thanks!
Where specifically are you looking at (blog gallery entries, single image modules, grid modules, WooCommerce products, WordPress post gallery…etc?) It can make a difference knowing where you want to change things.
- AJ
I want to change the lightbox that opens when an image is clicked in a porfolio grid (VC). Thanks
Are you going to be adding a plugin for this or making the edits manually via a child theme?
The quickest way to remove it is to simply use a line of javascript to remove the wpex-lightbox class from any of the portfolio grid links on doc ready, then when you add your own custom script the theme’s lightbox won’t get in the way.
- Aj
Hi AJ, I am having a hard time with some mysterious gap below the header on my test site. I´ve tried all the things in the help files but no cure Could you kindly have a look, really appreciated https://customers.nacasa.de/
Hi,
I see the following custom CSS on your site:
body #site-header{height :134px}
But the row in the header with the dark background is only 98px tall so the extra space is from that fixed height being taller then the actual header row is.
Double check your Custom CSS panel I believe it was added in there.

hi AJ. i tried to put the code from mailchimp inside callout, but it does not works. its possible to use it in this way?? tks!
The callout uses the wp_kses_post() to sanitize the input in the customizer for security purposes. If you want to add custom scripts to the footer callout it would have to be done manually via partials/footer/footer-callout.php
But you may be able to do it another way…your code didn’t paste so I’m not sure what you are trying to do exactly. You can use gist to share code – https://gist.github.com/

Hello AJ!
All of a sudden LayerSlider stopped showing on my page after updating! I am using a child theme. Can you see what’s wrong? All the updates have been applied.
This is the site: http://luxurydjevents.com/home/
Thx!
The required files for the slider are showing up as “Not Found” – https://cl.ly/lCy8 – on the server.
This can happen if the plugin didn’t fully get updated and files are missing or there are some permission errors on the site so the file exists but it can’t be accessed.
The quickest thing to try may be to delete LayerSlider completely and try re-installing it.
This could also be a caching related error so you may want to try clearing all site & browser cache before trying a re-installation.
The weirdest part is that the site is trying to load the file located at - LayerSlider/static/js/layerslider.kreaturamedia.jquery.js – but the correct location is LayerSlider/static/layerslider/js/layerslider.kreaturamedia.jquery.j – which does make me wonder if it is simply a caching issue.
If you are using a CDN such as CloudFlare, be sure to flush that as well.

Hi AJ, after using Custom Post Type UI to create and then delete a post type, for some reason that post type still exists in the image sizes section of theme panel. Is there something else I need to do in order to remove that post type from image sizes? The post type has been deleted and no longer exists, but still has it’s own tab under image sizes.
Thanks for the heads up! I need to tweak the theme a bit so when you delete a post type it is removed from the theme checks. The theme saves the post types in an array to make things more efficient.
If you open a private ticket and request it be sent to AJ and send me temp FTP logins I can manually remove that post type and then upload the fixed files for you. Would that work for you?
Thanks for the heads up!
- Aj
Actually the fix is much easier than I thought
Can you replace the file located at Total/framework/3rd-party/cpt-ui/types.php with this one – https://cl.ly/lDHD – via FTP/SFTP.
It should fix things up. Again thank you for the heads up!
Worked like a charm, thanks AJ
Hi AJ, is there an easy way to duplicate the staff custom post type? I would like another custom post type for vendors with all the same page options and builder blocks.
Hi,
No there isn’t an “easy” way. If you have a look at Total/framework/post-types/staff/ – you’ll see all the functions required for the post type and then look at Total/partials/staff/
A lot is involved.
The easiest way to work with post types is via the Post Types UI plugin – I added full support in Total to give you all the options/settings you’ll need to work with CPTs.
More info here: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-custom-post-types/
- Aj
I have that plugin installed, just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a simple way to duplicate already existing post type before I created a custom one. Thanks for quick reply AJ, take care.
since i bought this theme in 2016 I had never had the opportunity to use the license code it never worked now its expired
You can still use the theme. The support license is only used for private support – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/ – you can use the theme forever
If you have any issues or questions and your support license has expired you can post your questions here in the comments and I can help you out.
- Aj
the support license doesnt work
What do you mean it “doesn’t work”? What are you trying to do?
Hi Aj, How are you doing?
My gf works as bridal make-up, and I am thinking to offer to her brides the option to have for a little more budget a wedding website to share with their family and friends some nice pics, wedding date, etc… So I have found some info about multisite (did not know about this option). For example www.mywedding.com (main domain for landing page) mary&john.mywedding.com … Do I have to buy one licence for each subdomain? Just to calculate how much to charge.
Other question; I have a possible client who is an attorney and also paints pictures as a hobby. She ask me if it is possible to make both things in one site..(I guess to save some money). What do you think it is the best idea? multiple site? Or just develop one site with more pages and different menus? I do not know how to structure this idea well so that it looks good and not like a mess. Same question, in case of multiste..will I have to buy two licences, one for attorney subdomain and the other for artistpainter subdomain?
Thank you for your time. Fran
Hi Fran,
I am doing well, thank you for asking. I hope you are as well
If you are re-selling the sites then you would have to purchase 1 license for each subdomain (I would recommend setting up the multi-site via a subdomain). That sounds like a great idea and if you want some extra help with that open a private ticket and request it be sent to AJ.
It would be ideal for you to setup some custom demos that you can use not only to showcase to people looking to setup their wedding site (you don’t need to purchase a license for demo purposes only for the end product for the client). And I can help you with a custom plugin to override the Total demo importer which you can enable site wide so that you can easily import a specific wedding site demo if you want to speed things up – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/custom-demos-total-importer/
I helped Lisa Work do this for her site – http://lisawork.com/website-in-a-week/ (she created 3 demos she uses).
But also I am interested in making some wedding demos myself for Total so if you have any recommendations for any new modules or settings that may be needed let me know.
I would suggest that your client go with 2 sites for SEO reasons. If she sets up both sites in one it makes it a lot harder to rank in search results which is very important for local businesses and also makes it a lot harder if she ever wants to invest in some Google Adwords advertising to promote her business (also something most local businesses should be doing).
Of course if you setup a multi-site for 1 client then you only need 1 license of Total but in this case if she want’s both on 1 website I would personally do it on a single installation. If you need different menus for the different sections you can do that via a theme filter – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/display-custom-menu/ – but yes, that is also a bit messy. 2 domains is the ideal solution.
I hope that helps! Good luck
- AJ
Hi Aj.
Actually I don´t want people to set up their own wedding site, I will do the setup. They will just choose one demo/mockup and send me some pics and text. Also my idea is that the website is active only for 3 months more or less because I think people doesn´t want to have this site permanently for ever (I may change my mind later). After this period, the subfolder, subdomain or page, will be deleted. So my idea is to charge much less than Lisa Work (1000$)..maybe 100$. I think nobody at the moment, is going to pay more than that. The budget that people have (At least the brides who makeup my girlfriend) to get married is not so high as to pay 1000 euros for a page. On my opinion people will pay 1.000€ for a page that is going to be used daily and for years (at least in Spain)..
It is more a “rent” than a “re-sale”. So I will have to make calculations to see if it compensates me according to the time of work and the benefit.
I still do not understand very well the utility of multisite for this type of website. What about If I have just one single wp installation and I make, lets say One page site for each demo. Then when you go to landing page for example (www.mywedding.com) you can choose for example from a portfoliogrid “your site” then you will be sent to mywedding.com/mary&john. What would be the difference, pros and cons? Sorry if I am asking stupid things, but this is something new for me and I get many doubts.
As you can see, I would like to start a new business, new to me and with some difficulties for not being a professional in the field. I hope that thanks to your help and with all the information that I look for in the Internet can come to decide how to do it of the best way and learn how to do it.
In relation to the other project of the page of a painter and lawyer, I will explain to her the pros and cons. And because of that I’ll see if I make two websites or one, I will let you know if I need any help.
Thank you very much for your time, I really appreciate your help.
Hi Fran,
- Oh yes of course, but even if you setup the website yourself if you want help creating the custom demo importer to make it easier for you to setup the demo let me know
- The most important part when choosing your pricing is to make sure your clients know that once the website is finished anything extra that needs to be added is an additional cost. Because if someone is making you change stuff on a daily basis (like upload photos) you’ll want to get paid for your time.
- The difference is the multi-site is individual WP installations so you can use different themes for each (maybe a specific client wants something you can’t accomplish with Total). But more importantly you can have different fonts, menus, logos…etc. If you setup 1 single installation for multiple wedding pages you could do it all with the page builder, that’s true….but I think most people getting married want multiple pages (3-4) which would make things more complex if you only have 1 installation.
- I would recommend collecting at least 50% of the cost for the site prior to making it from your client to cover theme costs and time associated with setting things up.

Hello – I’d like to have the subheading content in posts display in place of post excerpts, but I’m not quite sure how to get it in there. Was thinking maybe adding an additional if statement at the top of the file blog-entry-content.php would do it (I’d like to default to the normal excerpt scheme if there’s no subhead), but I’m not getting the syntax right – not great with php. I can’t just paste what’s in page-header-subheading.php to the other file, but can’t quite figure what it should be. Can you help? Or is there a better/easier way to achieve this? Thanks!
Hi,
There is actually an easier better way of doing this since you can easily add/remove sections from the blog entry – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/custom-blog-entry-blocks/
Here is an example code you can use:
This would be pasted in a child theme’s functions.php file – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/ – and once added you’ll be able to go to the Customizer to disable the main excerpt and display this one instead (it will actually display on the front-end by default but it will appear disabled in the customizer).
// Add new block for post entries to display subheading
add_filter( 'wpex_blog_entry_blocks', function( $blocks ) {
// Add new block "advertisement"
$blocks['post_subheading'] = __( 'Post Subheading', 'wpex' );
// Return blocks
return $blocks;
} );
// Add custom output for subheading entry block
add_filter( 'wpex_blog_entry_layout_blocks', function( $blocks ) {
$blocks['post_subheading'] = function() {
if ( $subheading = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpex_post_subheading', true ) ) {
echo '<div class="myprefix-entry-subheading">' . wp_kses_post( $subheading ) . '</div>';
}
};
return $blocks;
} );
ps: Before doing all that you may want to consider using the excerpt field instead of the subheading field. When you enter a custom excerpt the theme will display that instead – https://cl.ly/lBDA – this way you can stick with core functionality.
- Aj
Oh – thanks AJ! That last link is exactly what I’m looking for – but I don’t see that field on my post pages! Hmm. I will investigate.
Bah! Found it in screen options. Sorry to make you do extra work! I thought there was an easier way, but then couldn’t find that field.
No problem, glad you found the field and it works well for you
Our blog page has reverted back to a basic template with nothing on it, blog post are still on the website though. How do I change the main post page back to the template we were using?
looks like this at the moment….http://www.winchandunwind.com/blog/
Hi,
It looks like you may have a second version of WordPress installed on your server under a blog category since the link you are referring to is showing a different theme and everything. Can you double check?
It looks like we did have a second version. All sorted now, thanks for that.
Filter animation not working consistently on Gallery
Sometimes this works, but most of the time the animation doesn’t work at all. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot? Tried it on a couple of different browsers and same issue occurs.
http://testdoug.com/stodt/gallery/Thanks.
Doug
Hi Doug,
The transition duration is currently set to 0.0 – https://cl.ly/l5Cm – please double check the module speed setting: https://cl.ly/l8in
If you don’t have anything in there try adding a value such as 0.3 and see if it works. If the animation still won’t work please let me know so I can assist further.

ps: I noticed your support license has expired, if at this time you can renew your support license I would really appreciate it. You can also purchase a new copy of the theme for another site/client and it will also renew your support. If financially you can’t at this time I understand but would really appreciate it since I spend a lot of time and money supporting and updating the product – thank you!
I am using this link to create the filters based on a note that you sent me so I am not able to manage the animation:
Last year I made it possible to create a filter via the Navigation Bar module – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifhQ7Fb-0lE – so you can can create a custom menu and have full control over the links and order of the items in the filter menu.
I just got a new client and will purchase an additional license shortly! I get it and want to support you.
Doug
Hi Doug,
Ok so the transition settings will be inside the Navigation Bar module – https://cl.ly/lB24 – can you please double check those settings? Thanks!
Awesome, thank you for choosing Total for your next client
- AJ
That works. Thanks!
Great, I’m glad it was an easy fix
The animation stopped working. See link to screenshot.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3984732/filter-animation-issue.pngThe animation is working when I check – https://cl.ly/lENG (tested in all major browsers).
For grids using the custom filter nav the theme grabs the transition speed from the navbar it ignores any value added to the row directly so your code looks good to me as well.

Hello,
Is there an easy way to add a MP4/video as a background image?
Thanks
I have found the option in the row settings – could you tell me what I need to do to use a vimeo URL or do I have to use youtube?
I have uploaded to youtube but can’t get the video to show as background….the ‘placeholder video” that was already in place with the theme plays but I cant get my video to show….any ideas?
Hi,
The row setting has the ability to enter the youtube URL for your video background like this – https://cl.ly/l55c – Did you already enter your youtube URL and saved the row? Can you double check the setting.
Also there was a bug a few versions ago so please do make sure everything is up to date:
- http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/
- http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/
If you still can’t get things working please share the URL to the youtube video so I can test locally – thanks!
- AJ
Aj,
I have entered the test video just like you have shown in the screenshot https://youtu.be/XsOjf9n9lWo and cant get it working.
The version I have is 4.1
Thanks
Got it working – Cant use the short URL provided by youtube.
Oh yes, you do need the direct URL
ps: The theme by default hides the videos on mobile and displays your row background to keep things faster on mobile, that said it is possible to display it if needed via some custom tweaks – just an early heads up!

Hi AJ. I am having trouble with Schema for the blog posts. If you look at this link to a singular post it comes up as a WebPage, when we want it to be a ‘BlogPosting’. It looks like the Total filter should render it as a ‘Blog’ and if I use the ‘wpex_get_schema_markup’ filter to make the page a ‘Blog’ it comes up without any errors, but it seems like the post archive page should be ‘Blog’ with singular posts as ‘BlogPosting’, and as I say right now without my filter, it’s just coming up as ‘WebPage’. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. –MikeiLL

Hi,
I’m not quite sure I understand the issue..Are you adding some custom code to the theme to alter the default schema markup?
By default I use the “Article” – https://cl.ly/l4DE – because it’s more generic and not all customers use the default post type specifically for blog posts. That said you can make it more specific using BlogPosting, NewsArticle, ScholarlyArticle…etc.
I remember helping a customer with the schema.org code and sending them an updated file – was that you?

Well you shared the code for me to update myself. But the blog pages are not coming up as Blog or Article, just WebPage. That is just with default Total schema settings. I think a singular post should probably be BlogPosting or Article, but it’s missing some of the other required settings like “author”. At least it seems to be. If you paste the code from the above page on my site, and make the html element a BlogPosting or Article, Google Structured Data testing tool will yell at you.
Hi,
Yes I think I remember that, but I also answer hundreds of people on a daily basis between comments, tickets, emails, social media…etc. And this is a new comment thread so I don’t have quick access to former threads regarding the schema markup we talked about previously.
Can you remind me what code I gave you previously. What I do remember was sending you an updated file so that the filter would have an additional variable you can use to check the current schema location. Right?
When checking the page above you posted – http://ac.lexwebdev.com/americare-attends-27th-annual-conference-on-aging-vendor-expo-agecon2016/ – I do see one error but it’s related to the local business tag – https://cl.ly/lByq
