This mitigates differences in the character count (given the fixed word limit) so that all my excerpts fit on two lines of text (no less, no more). I love the look of three content columns, but a uniform grid is more important to me and I don’t have the PHP skills to hack a better solution. Now on to content creation and other fine tuning!

Can I set custom CSS for containers only on my category pages, or will any CSS changes to the container styling affect both portfolio and category/blog containers?
I’ve researched limiting excerpt character count by PHP, but I don’t have the coding skills to do it right (trimming by characters, but not truncating words or ending with a punctuation mark).
I really hope to get a uniform grid for my blog page (ex: http://danduett.com/category/touring), as the variability affects the order when infinite scroll is turned on.

nngrey, your layout on your blog looks fantastic. I played around with Kashemy’s CSS edits today. They did the trick for my blog, but (unsurprisingly, in hindsight) also changed the container size on my portfolio posts. The blog posts have excerpts, the portfolio posts don’t, so the container CSS hack above doesn’t work.
My Blog:
http://danduett.com/category/touringMy Portfolio:
http://danduett.com/category/workThe WP support post that Kashemy shared suggests that my fix lies in setting excerpts to a maximum character length, either through PHP or a plugin, yes?

I’m not sure what you’re asking. To enable the menu that you create via WP Dashboard > Appearance > Menus, you need to designate it as your primary menu. At Appearance > Menus, look at the “Theme Locations” box in the top left. Select the menu from the drop down list and click “Save.” That should automatically put the menu on all the pages you want. Good luck!

From the WP Dashboard, under Appearance>Menus, there is an option to add any category you use directly do the menu. WordPress does all the legwork for you.

Thank you for all your support and the great tutorials you’ve written to help people get the most out of this theme. I read this forum regularly, just to see what others are doing (or trying to do) with the Pinboard theme. I imagine it might be frustrating for both you and Dan that people make the same requests/inquiries over and over. Is it possible to create a sticky post in this forum that always appears at the top and links to the posts that walk people through common problems? With a little bit of curation, that could severely cut down on redundant requests. Additionally, you could list some group norms (like your post above about the scope and intent of the theme and support forum).
So, can we make this happen? If the functionality is there to make a sticky post, I’d be willing to create a preliminary list of the best threads.
Dan

“Try to add this in your css:
.page-template-template-no-sidebars-php #wrapper,

.page-template-template-portfolio-no-sidebars-php #wrapper { max-width:1200px; }The max-width of 1200px is only an example. You can adjust it to your needs.”
I set mine to width of 1140, because I’m pretty sure that’s the default width for the theme. You can see my work in progress in the link below:

If you’re looking to have max width without sidebar, see below. I was looking to do exactly that… “Blog, Full Width” did not function as I expected it. The advice below is courtesy of the super-helpful (and very busy) Alex!
“Try to add this in your css:
.page-template-template-no-sidebars-php #wrapper,
.page-template-template-blog-no-sidebars-php #wrapper,
.page-template-template-portfolio-no-sidebars-php #wrapper { max-width:1200px; }The max-width of 1200px is only an example. You can adjust it to your needs.”
I set mine to width of 1140, because I’m pretty sure that’s the default width for the theme. You can see my work in progress in the link below.
Let me know if this did the trick!

Not the URL. When I don’t designate a particular page as the posts page, the title in the browser bar is simply the page name — Blog — rather than the page name/site name no space mishmash. Again, a separate issue only tangentially related to kingtutu’s solution.

@Rajesh, I made the changes to the index.php code, to no effect. I’m a WordPress novice, but if I wanted to remove the slider posts from a *blog page* using your approach, wouldn’t I make edits to the blog php?
@Judy, thank you for sharing this! Your version seems to be a good approach for those who want to create a workaround through a new blog category *while* exercising control over the layout. For me, simply assigning posts to the category (as you’ve done) and then making a menu link to that post category works without any custom templates, albeit with less control over layout (this is not a page in the sense that yours is). See my example here:
http://danduett.com/category/writing
@kingtutu, Your suggestion DOES remove the sticky posts from the Blog page provided that I select my intended blog page via Settings>Reading>Posts Page Displays. Example:
http://danduett.com
(Main page with slider, looking good)http://danduett.com/blog
(No slider posts! Hooray!)When I make this change, the page title changes in the URL to the slightly annoying mashup of page name and site title without a space between (e.g. BlogDan Duett) but that problem is not a result of your solution. If anyone knows an easy fix to that, I’m all ears. I’m a WP novice and still haven’t found out how to customize page titles in the browser bar.
Thanks again to all for their time and thoughts on this!

As in, is it a bug? Are we just misreading how the sticky posts are intended to function? I’ve set aside this frustration for the moment. I suppose you could hack the blog template. I chose a different workaround, setting up category pages rather than a blog page. I’m not going to use the blog page until this is addressed. If you get it working the way you want, would you mind reporting back to the forum to share how you did it?

I’ll play around with settings and templates to see if I can find a solution. If nothing else works, I’ll create a separate category for my blog posts, create a menu link to that category, and remove the blog page. I’d really love to get this working as advertised–I’m not sure whether it’s a bug in the theme, whether I’m doing something wrong, or what…
Also, your site looks great! Nice work.
