Hello,

For some reason the category blog pages on my site are no longer displaying correctly. In most cases I wish for them to show my articles in full width and in one column across the page. At some point this setting changed and now the articles are heavily indented on the page. Any advice on what I can do to fix this? I am running Joomla 3.7.3 and Uber 2.1.6. Unfortunately I am not sure exactly when this change happened, so I cannot trace exactly what caused it, if it is due to a Joomla update or the Template or T3.

I have attached two screen shots illustrating the problem. The content with the problem is the first screen shot, the "Observers" page, while the second screen shot "The Arctic Council: A backgrounder" (which is a single article page) shows a page displaying correctly.

Hi
Can u share the URL of article page and let me know how u want to display it.
By default in left there would be an image and in right side its article.
Also if there is no image it can show a blank space.

Regards

Here is a link to another page (single article) with no image which is displaying as intended: https://arctic-council.org/index.php/en/about-us/arctic-council/the-arctic-council-secretariat

Here is the link to the category blog page which is not displaying as intended:
https://arctic-council.org/index.php/en/about-us/arctic-council/observers

We almost never use images with our category blogs, mainly because we use tag display pages instead to show news articles which have images. When we have category blog pages we simply want one or a few full-width articles in one column with no images. This was possible previously, I have been running Uber on our site since summer 2015 and this is a recent change for it to not work and leave this big blank space.

Hi
I think in this case you may use the full width for image and content. In case u will add the image it appears above the article.

Open /templates/uber/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php

            <div class="col-sm-8 item-content-box">

Replace it with

            <div class="col-sm-12 item-content-box">

Regards

Hello Pankaj,

Thank you for your reply, and helpful advice. Sorry for my slow response, I just returned from my vacation.

Just to confirm, if I make this change then all category blogs will change on my entire website, not just this page? I am wondering then if I should simply reconfigure this page to a single article view instead since I have to use a category blog layout in one other location and there I do want the preview images.

Hi
It will apply for the all of the pages where the blog type menu is used. Becuase the changes are from the blog layout files.

Regards
