wordpress theme: image with caption not showing & responsive view sidebar issue

edit:
I found out, that my template (happy days) uses excerpts on the main page, therefore the shortcode used for captions is not showing on the main page, so the image with caption only shows up on the single post page.
How can i display full articles on the main page and therefore enable shortcode and image with caption being shown?!

also i tried adding another sidebar under the cms content and then enabling and disabeling the resonsive showing of each seperately. but it seems i can not deactivate phone without changing the desktop view also. help!?
also the left sidebar is full page width all of a sudden. :(

again, any suggestions on my two problems would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Hi Moonsis, about your left sidebar... i checked a new themler template, and i can see that the left sidebar is full page width in my template also....

do you mean that it takes 100% width now?
in this case, maybe try to play with the % in the sidebar control... i added you an image so you see what i mean,
about the putting something on responsive, you shouldn't need to change it if you put it on just for phone view, any chance you can put an image of your settings? maybe i can help if i see it..

thanks..

Hello
Thanks for your help. I finally figured it out with those sidebars- Like you suggested I had to assign a fixed width for every sidebar and the content box. So the sidebar now is min 200px and max 300 px while the content is 100%. etc.
Also I had to do this for every responsive view. (but strangely the sidebar visebility for tablets could not be unchecked without also unchecking desktop automatically , too- is this still a bug?)

so this problem seems to be fixed for now. ;)

BUT there ist still my second problem:
It seems there are no themes nowadays without a featured image and excerpt on the main page.
But since i have a little craft shop/personal blog, I would like to have the full length posts on the main page insted of only excerpts.
I a m using the "happy days" wordpress theme from themler - by default it only shows the excerpt on the main page, so all my images with captions in my posts are gone when viewing the main page with all articles.

I already disabled the "use auto excerpts" in the theme settings on the wordpress dashboard. but still no luck.
wordpress seems to strip the posts of all shortcode for the excerpt view, so the captioned images do not show up on my main page, only on the single post page.
Is there any way to alter this ...maybe a work around or through the css or something?

Any ideas and help would be awesome!
Thanky you.

• Insert new CMS Code block in same place where Post content is (this is confusing, calling it "content", but...)
• Insret code inside CMS Block:

<pre class>&lt;?php echo(is_singular() ? theme_get_content() : theme_get_content()); ?&gt;</pre>
 

• Delete Post content block.

But it is wrong way if you are looking only for captions on featured images. Mess in some way.

This code will give you captions on featured images. Use as above CMS Code in place of image and delete image. You need to style it after. You wont find anywhere finished styled solution. It is from case to case.

<?php echo theme_get_post_thumbnail(array('imageClass' => ' bd-imagestyles', 'class' => ' bd-postimage-2')); ?><!-- This displays the featured image -->
<?php if ( $caption = get_post( get_post_thumbnail_id() )->post_excerpt ) : ?>
    <p class="caption"><?php echo $caption; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?><!-- This displays the caption below the featured image -->

hello,
ok can i edit the code in themeler ...or do i edit it in functions.php ..or on the wordpress cms? kinda confused now.
also there are everal images with captions in the post which are not showing up not only the featured one.
thanks again. :)

Insert tab left-top in Themler. Find CMS Code control and insert it beside excerpt (Post content). Or beside feature dimage if you want it this way. When you are finished delete old block.

Hello "Stagger Lee",
and thank you so much for your answer.... this was teh solution!
you are a genius!!!! thank you so much!
you saved me days and weeks of trying to figure this out. ;> so cool!
(now my only little last little request is the content text is now aligned center. how can i align it left again?)
you are awesome! thank you!!!
:)

oh never mind. already found this one out. only had to adjust the text alginment in thmeler. thehee..
again: thank you so much for the help! you made my day!!!
:))

You are welcome. Play with CMS Code block more. You can see how code looks in original Themler PHP templates and with help of Google adapt it easy.

Just dont click Save when you get error, reload/refresh browser page (not refresh in Themler, this wont help). If you click Save you will have to find error in code manually and fix it, both theme and preview folder.
