Hello,

I have a new site and using latest K2 with Yoo Infinite template on Joomla 3.0.

The problem is, I can connect the category via menu but I cannot get the title to display. It should show by default BUT it does not. I have enabled it via the menu link (K2 Categories) and the category it self but no luck. If I set the PAGE TITLE to show then it shows a small component heading in small font.

Now normally I would think it's the template itself but it's also not showing the description. I have again tried everything but no luck.

Any help appreciated.

Hello TRIPLEdm,

This sounds like a template issue. Make sure your category settings and inheritance is correct and then try it with the default template (?template=system as a URL suffix).

If you are able to see the title in the default or atomic/protostar template and not on yours you should notify the template developer to correct this issue.

Hello,

Thank you for the support! Only found this now after trying to follow up for some reason did not get notice of an answer.

Ok so to start off with, the template is Yoo Infinite

inheritance - setup to be unique, does not inherit from any other category

Show title & Show description - ON or OFF, no difference.

Menu Link, - no option to show or not show title or description

K2 default CSS - enabled/disabled, no difference

I have tried a Rockettheme template, the latest and greatest with K2 styling built in and disabled/enabled all variations, no luck. ;-(

I just tried menu type: K2 » Latest items from (one or more) users or categories

It works, shows image, description and title.

BUT... I cannot change/select ordering so not a solution for me just yet

I am going to do the project in Joomla 2.5, the 3.0 version of K2 is just full of small problems that I don't have time to resolve right now.

So apart from K2 Category Title & Description not showing, I also have more small issues like;
- turning RSS feed off, ALL K2 settings set to not show but still showing so had to go to the menu link and disable it there. Image sizes
- image sizes are ignored, set it everywhere to 100px and it stretches a 100px image to 600px, looked everywhere and changed settings in every possible place (parameters, category view in category, item view in category and item's own options) and it still shows up huge.

BUT... I cannot change/select ordering so not a solution for me just yet

The latest menu type does not support ordering (hence the latest name),

mage sizes are ignored, set it everywhere to 100px and it stretches a 100px image to 600px, looked everywhere and changed settings in every possible place (parameters, category view in category, item view in category and item's own options) and it still shows up huge.

This is an indication that the template's css uses a min-width: 100%; property (a lot of responsive templates do that).

K2 default CSS - enabled/disabled, no difference

This has to do with your template structure I am afraid.

In your position I would address all these issues to the template developer.

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

I have suggested to the template developer that it's their template, but enabling the default BEEZ template gives the same problem. So I am stuck, K2 is saying I have to speak to Yootheme (it's the Yoo Infinite template) and Yootheme saying speak to K2. Running circles here and getting nowhere ;-(

How do I post a link without sharing it to all? Or how do I send a PM?

Hy

I have the same problem since about 1 year an still no solution for this. It is not an Template-Problem. This issue is in every template. neither with templates of gavick, themeforest nor templatemonster etc...

Nobody can help me too.

If you choose "latest item"-Menu you can't order articles by sort-setting.

it is so frustrating!

The Latest Menu Type of K2 doesn't have a sorting option. It brings items, as its name states, by latest. That is how it works. If you need another sorting option you should choose a menu item pointing to K2 Category or Multiple categories.
