[Resolved] Layout does not work with my theme SmartMag

I am trying to: I wanted to develop some special Layouts.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: a Layout that shows main information left, details right and a map below

Instead, I got: All Layout cells get below each other. On top, the Jetpack-feature "similar posts" does insert itself between the boxes, it seems after the post body cell put its content.

Is there a solution to this? Or is Toolset limited to some themes - and it is insecure to buy a new one because I do never know if it works with (beside of that great) Toolset?

Kind regards, Martin

Dear Martin,

I have checked it in the URL you mentioned above, you are using CSS class "span9", "span7", which is a Bootstrap version 2 CSS class:
hidden link

But that page is loading Bootstrap version 3 CSS file:
hidden link

Please try this:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General
option "Bootstrap loading", choose "The theme or another plugin is already loading Bootstrap 2.0"
and test again

Dear Luo,

thanks for having this analytic look into my website. i switched as you suggested, but it still does not layout the things according to the attached screenshot /two rows, two cell areas).

AS I tested the same with a fresh installation I really see what is possible with layouts - but toi develop a website design-wise from the bottom up is a way that goes beyond my skills. So if you can narrow down how we can get this running - it will be superb!!

If you use the same link to the test custom post type (see above), it now runs with the Bootstrap-2-from-the-theme-setting. Maybe you can see what it changes (and why it still does not run).

Thanks!!
Kind regards, Martin

You can use other plugin to load the version 2 of Bootstrap CSS, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-bootstrap-css/

Activate it, then go to:
Dashboard-> Twitter Bootstrap-> Bootstrap CSS
option "Bootstrap Option", choose "Twitter Bootstrap CSS v2.3.2", and test again

Hi, thanks, I downloaded your recommendation and activated it as suggested. Now the first row of cells do work fine. but still the "Similar Posts" of Jetpack get inserted before the second row of cells.

So it help just half way so far.

I also am not aware of what this wordpress-bootstrap-css plugin actually does to the system and if it is wise to run it all the time.

If you follow the link above the Twitter Bootstrap is activated...

For the question:
but still the "Similar Posts" of Jetpack get inserted before the second row of cells.

How do you setup the "Similar Posts" of Jetpack?

If it is other plugin adding the "Similar Posts" feature after post content, please check it with the plugin author, check if it is possible to move "Similar Posts" section to where you want.

Dear Leo,

yes, it is Jetpack - no third party tool - that inserts the "Similar Posts". The settings see attached in the screenshot. AS there is not much to set, I am not sure if things can get altered somehow.

I also rearranged cells on the text layout page. But it seems that the similar posts always get injected after the first row in the layout...

Any further ideas?

Kind regards, Martin

Your screenshot isn't in English, it does not help.

As you can see, it is the Jetpack plugin who inserting the "Similar Posts" section, please check it with Jetpack support:
if it is possible to move "Similar Posts" section to where you want

And I have searched it in google, find these documents:
1) You can disable the related posts section
hidden link

2) You can use the [jetpack-related-posts] shortcode to insert the Related Posts in a custom location within your post content. Once you insert the shortcode, Related Posts won’t appear at the bottom of your posts.
hidden link

They are all in Jetpack plugin side, you just need to put the jetpack shortcode in layout cell.

For your reference.

Dear Luo,

thanks for the hints! They will help me to stop the "Similar Posts" and integrate them via a shortcake again, That seems to do the job.
