Does this also happen when you edit an existing press coverage?

Does it only happen on press coverage and not on press release?

Hi Steven, I did a quick test (Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS) and I’m going to give you the classic response “it works for me”. However, I am sure there is something that is causing your issue. Perhaps try qualifying the CSS with body or a parent ID.

body .nooz-datetime {
    color: #e5e5e5;
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}

#parent .nooz-datetime {
    color: #e5e5e5;
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}

Typically it all comes down to targeting, I usually use the dev console on firefox, to see the ordering of styles that are applied, this helps me track down how classes are inheriting, qualified and which CSS is loaded and when.

Additionally, you can find a full list of Nooz class-names and options by going into the news settings and the Help menu above (top right). It is all pretty well documented.

Let me know what you find out, I am here to assist! 🙂

We, developers, have experienced such issues for ages.

Just from your description, this sounds like a browser caching symptom. Browsers will usually cache a page, so that subsequent retrieval is much faster, however this becomes and issue when you are making edits and want immediate feedback/updates. In my experience some browsers are sticker than others (e.g. present caching issues much more so than others).

Caching is compounded when other mechanisms are used, caching in the browser, caching in a plugin, caching on the server, caching at the ISP. It is tricky to track down sometimes.

Usually one or two browser refreshes will do it. Additionally you can try viewing the site in “private” mode (e.g. incognito), most browsers have this option. Also, if you have a caching plugin installed, you can try purging the cache.

My apologies for the late reply, hopefully you’re issue has already been resolved.

The easiest way, is to simply hide the date, you can do this with the following CSS:

.nooz-datetime {
    display: none;
}

The Nooz plugin has several CSS class names which you can use to manipulate it’s look and feel.

Out of the box, the news layout is basic, allowing for your customizations. With a little CSS you can do a lot.

Here are a few examples:

Apologies for the very late reply, please let me know if you are still having issues and I will do my absolute best to help.

Here is some further details that might help you:

By creating a “Post Type Template”, have a look at: https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates, you can further customize the layout of press releases (e.g. adding a sidebar or other layout).

You would have to create one or both of the following files in your current theme directory:

archive-nooz_release.php
single-nooz_release.php

Note that you may still need another plugin to target specific “Posts” to further tailor the sidebar content.

This is more of an editorial issue. At first glance it appears that the first two items are auto generated excerpts (meaning that there is no content entered in the excerpt field for the press release). The others seem like the excerpts were manually entered.

You can also adjust core WordPress functionality for excerpts by adding the following to your functions.php file:

// change the default WordPress excerpt length to 30 characters
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
  return 30;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

With the above code, when there is no excerpt (manually added via the excerpt field), it will auto generate an excerpt of at max 30 characters.

you could try the following:

The following is specific the the headline:

.nooz-link a {
    color: blue;
}
.nooz-link a:hover {
    color: red;
}

You can make all nooz links a certain color:

.nooz-list-wrapper a {
    color: blue;
}
.nooz-list-wrapper a:hover {
    color: red;
}

Also be sure to check out the “Help” tab in WordPress, under the Nooz Settings menu, it will have all the info you need.
