Excellent idea to show possibilities of this theme.

Here is my site (dutch motor blog)

https://k1600gt.nl

Also tons of modifications.. I created a child-theme to “enhance” the customizations a bit.

Hello,

I started using the free NewsCard early 2020 on my test-site and decided to purchase the Pro version around March of the same year. It’s a very versatile theme but needed some of my personal tweaks. I think it turned out quite well. The site is in dutch so you might want to use chrome and let is translate to your desired language if you want to visit.

I added a few modification as blog-post on the site: https://k1600gt.nl/tag/domein/ but you also want to start checking out the landing/home-page.

https://k1600gt.nl

I still got an idea to modify some widgets so they can also show posts based on tags. For the posts at the footer, usually set up as “older posts”, I’m thinking about making an option that you can set it to random posts so you get really old, random posts.

Nice to see some real-life examples of NewsCard Pro, especially the modified ones.

Best Regards,
Sjoerd

Hello,

Everything is okay. Since my website it now “live” I can start focussing on other aspects such as creating widget from existing widgets for even more customization such as truly random post. I know WordPress has those functions. Thinking about changing the “Footer Featured Posts” and “Card/Block” widgets so it is able to gets random post from any or a specific category. Not planning of changing the main-theme. All would be done using the child-theme.

Still happy that I choose this theme.

Thanks,

Regards,

Currently there’s not much I need to change. I did one more “minor” modification: I added a section to the customizer that allows me to only show the feature image on the first page op a single or page (when enabled in the main customizer). In my opinion it’s a bit overdone to have the featured image on all pages of a multipage post.

I posted the changes on my blog without revealing too much of the Premium I think. It’s all in dutch – If I need to redact some of the code-blocks that are visible on my blog then don’t hesitate to contact my by sending my an email.

Thanks you,

That did the trick (I’m not using the Gutenberg Blocks since I’m not comfortable with it)

I might add a line of code to my custom-styles.php in the child-theme so that the background color of the th-tag follows the newscard_elements color 😉 I did the same with the double-quotes sign for the blockquot.

It’s working now.

Excellent!

I was not aware I had to enqueue bootstrap as well.

Hello ThemeHorse.

Thank you.

I just checked – on the widget-config-screen you can go up to 10 items. That’s the big thumbnail and 9 smaller. As far as I can see you always have the big thumbnail

Hello Theme Horse Support,

Thank you for the mail! I will take the limitations of the free version and some other limitations into consideration. I must say I’m quite fond of the theme.

Hello Max,

That does not answer any of the question I had about the theme – I really like to see them ansewerd – Please

The questions I have are legit and once answered I should be to decide if I can stick to the Free version are to the pro-version. Maybe the title of the thread should be changed but I’m not able to do that. I’m a bit disappointed that ThemeHorse didn’t response to this thread or to my pre-sales contactform

5) (!) I would like to see that the “Footer Featured Posts” can pick posts totally random. Since it’s very useful for “You might have misted” it’s very likely that these are totally random. I wouldn’t mind if that’s more that one row or if has the same look as the TH Recent posts widget in a 2 or 3 rows by 4 columns grid style based on the width of the current viewport/device.

Sorry I had to post these questions this way but reCAPTCA refused to put that all in one post

Regards
Sjoerd
