Hello!

I am adding products through WooCommerce and the pictures are all the same size, however some of my titles are longer than others and therefore the prices and ‘add to cart’ button are not all uniform. Is there any way to add spacing to make it equal?

Also, how do I go about making the product title text smaller?

Many Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

You can add some custom CSS to give the titles a minimum height which would align them correctly, but it would make the pricing and buttons look strange depending on your setup.

.woocommerce ul.products li.product h3 {
    min-height: 40px; /*adjust accordingly*/
}

If adjusting the font-size for the titles will work for you, then you can do that with some CSS as well:

.woocommerce ul.products li.product h3 {
   font-size: 14px !important;
}

You could also consider maybe changing the columns, for example if you are using 4 columns for the shop you could try using 3 columns instead. Or you may even want to consider increasing your main layout width to add some more space – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/customize-your-layout-widths/

You have quite a few options to try here ;)

Thanks for that. I have changed the size of the product title, but how do I change the size of the price font to match?

Also, I have a ‘incl. VAT’ suffix set up, however it doesn’t show up on products with variables which is messing up the spacing. I have looked for help online and on Woo’s support but I haven’t found anything. Would you know how to make sure the suffix appears across all taxable products?

Thanks, Ian

Hi,

I would love to buy this theme… can you help me with the below queries.. so that I can take the next step?

1. will i be able to download the sample files?

2. how to get customised search button on the page? like – https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Dk7hNFNx57dsiZem5nG0_7qurm0BGffgpw

3. what about the sitemap page (not the .xml sitemap) which usually comes in the footer?

Thks in advance.

David

Hi David,

Sorry for the delay over the holiday weekend!

1. Yes. http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/sample-data/

2. The search button is a Visual Composer module so you can add it anywhere – http://cl.ly/image/3E2H0i1a2v1R – you can fully customize the input and the button via the settings.

2. Sitemap pages are very old school and honestly they can actually hurt SEO More then help. But you can easily create one if you want with the Visual Composer if needed.

Hi WPExplorer,

Is the VC Media Grid module working for you in a Templatera Template using Total 2.1.4 (most recent version) and VC version 4.5.3?

Currently, it’s not working for us for some reason. I am getting an “Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: {‘status’:’Nothing found’}” in the Consoler (Chrome).

Funny thing is, it was working the other day. Templatera works, if we add normal text, but the Media Grids are not showing up.

No new plugins have been installed (only new body text/content) so I am curious if you would happen to know or have others reported.

What is the best way to communicate to send/give admin access (if necessary)?

Thanks from here!

Thank you for your patience over the Holiday weekend. To be honest I am not sure what you mean by not working with Templatera. Are you getting an error when inserting a custom template or getting the error when trying to save a template?

Hi, I have tried to update the Visual Composer but must have made a mistake and I was hoping you knew of an easy fix:-) I used these instructions: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/ but when I’m going to do the last step; ie install the plugin again, the text reads: “Templatera requires Visual Composer plugin to be installed and activated on your site” but there is nowhere I can click to do so except following the “Visual Composer” link which takes me to Envato where I can buy it. What am I doing wrong…?

This notice isn’t the notice you should be looking for. The recommended plugin notice should look like this: http://cl.ly/1B2H241D140o

You should see the notice unless you disabled it – wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/disable-recommended-plugins-notice/ – did you disable it? Or if your theme is outdated. Is your theme up to date? http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/

Fixed now, don’t know how but had somehow missed to reactivate the plugin. Thank you!

Another question: a few updates ago my menu became bigger (wider I think) and is now touching the logo to the left. Where do I make adjustments to fix this?

I added an inner span to the links in the menu so you can do things like this – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/header-one-menu-button/ – I think this slight padding increase caused your issues. But it’s easy to fix with a little custom CSS:

#site-navigation .dropdown-menu > li > a > span.link-inner {
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-right: 5px;
}
http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

Result: http://cl.ly/image/3B2U1L1O0H39

Sorry about this!

Hi dear,

how can we add the menu above the image like in the homepage 6 and 9 of your demo.

Thanks!

Visual Composer 4.6 update not working well.

Something must not initialize properly upon editing and post, or custom post.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/biorkbogmvicztc/Screenshot%202015-07-03%2009.57.46.png?dl=0

Pages still display properly when viewed publicly.

(I had updated to VC 4.6 because it fixed a critical bug in its custom “Grid Element” feature)

I realize that you don’t support these types of requests once we advance VC beyond the integrated plugin you ship. I tried to get support via WPBakery, but of course they said that the theme-specific code is what is causing the error.

I’ll revert to the old 4.5.x VC but want to make sure it won’t break my installation.

I do actually provide support for this sort of thing, I just got way behind on support for a while :(

Looks to me like there is a PHP error on the page, not necessarily to do with the Visual Composer. You can enable WP_Debug on your site to see what error you have and then be able to troubleshoot it (tell me the error so I can assist) – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/enabling-wp-debug/

Also you can always send me a private message with temp WP logins so I can look for you.

Hello!

I am in charge of developing a website using Total for a client that purchased it (that’s why I don’t have the PURCHASED tag :) ) and I have a questions:

Is there a way I can add more Google Fonts in the Custom Heading element from Visual Composer’s set?

This would save the world for me! :)

If you could kindly help me, I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance,

Alexandru

Hi Alexandru,

If you use the “Heading” element I added to Total a couple updates ago it has over 100 google font options. If you must add more options to the Visual Composer custom module you’ll need to hook into the “vc_google_fonts_get_fonts_filter” filter via a child theme function or custom plugin.

Hello, i instaleld the child theme configurator and made a child theme – i lost all my changes on the theme – even when i switched back to the normal theme – all changes (setting changes, like footer, header, and so on ) are gone. :( Why is that ?

Please have a look at the warning message here that explains it – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Your settings should still be in the database though somewhere under the theme_mods entry.

Hi, Can you please advise as to how we can modify the color scheme for tabs, toggles, faq and portfolio filters? I am looking to change the navigational items.

These elements would need to altered via Custom CSS. Example for the toggle:

/*alter toggle background*/
body .vc_toggle_default .vc_toggle_title {
background: #fff;
}

I can assist with small modifications or help you if you get stuck but providing the exact CSS for all the modifications is beyond the scope of support. For example if you try modifying the toggle and your code isn’t working send me the code you are using and I’ll let you know how to fix it ;)

Thanks for the toggle code. Can you please send me the code to change the color for ‘active and inactive TABS’

Depends on the tab style you are using since there are multiple styles. But you can just use a browser inspector to see what elements you need to target – https://developer.chrome.com/devtools ;)

I’m having a little VC issue, maybe you can help. I want to have a testimonial slider with an image background. But the image doesn’t show, and it seems to even block the testimonials to show up. I just have a white space instead. Is this a bug or something wrong on my site? A colored background works fine, but an image background fails.

How are you adding the background? You can insert the testimonial slider and then add the background image to the row itself.

Hi,

Iam intending to buy your theme for my online learning course site. Before getting it, i have some questions below:

1. Your theme works well with learndash plugin?

2. Because my student must pay for membership to approach all my course, so i should buy regular or extended license?

Iam looking forward to your reply.

Thank you, Ken

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the delay over the holiday weekend.

1. Sorry I am not familiar with learndash. However, any properly coded plugin should work just fine. I just emailed them however to see if they can provide me a copy for full testing.

2. A regular license would work fine for your needs. I don’t actually sell extended licenses for this theme ;) Thank you for asking!

Thanks very much :) I’m looking forward to it

Total 2.1.2 with its plugins + WP 4.1

I have a page [A] with a filtered Portfolio Grid which is working as expected: when the page opens the grid shows “everything” (all categories, with no filtering) and then, if and when a filter is selected from the list, the grid changes accordingly.

In another page [B] I’d like to create a link causing page A to open with the grid already filtered. In other words, I’d like page A to open and automatically select one of the filters in the grid. How can I create such a link?

Thanks

Unfortunately this isn’t as simple as it sounds. I can update the theme (and I will in the next big update) to allow filtering by hash – http://isotope.metafizzy.co/filtering.html – so you can link to the URL and use a hashtag to designate which to filter by default. However, it will still require a hastag in the URL to designate which category should display.

I don’t understand though why you would be using the filter if you don’t want to display all items by default. Why not remove the filter? You can also use the “Navbar” module to add a custom menu above your grid if you want and instead of a jQuery filter link to specific pages (better for SEO anyway).

Thanks for your answer(s). Well, I’m not surprised about this not being “simple” for me as an user, as it is obviously a matter which goes beyond HTML and CSS and requires not only programming skills but also backstage knowledge of Total and it’s plugins. I’m glad to hear you plan to do something about that in the future.

As to the “strangeness” of my request, the fact is I’d like to keep one single page dedicated to all the items (with filtering) while I need a particular category to be reachable from another page. In other words: in the B page I click the link which gets me to the X category in the A page, where I also can, if I want, see the other categories thanks to the filters.

I’ve added this to my todo list and see what I can figure out…

Hi! My staff pages have stopped working. I haven’t changed anything with them. It is showing up as a grid, but when I click on an individual staff member, I am redirected to my homepage.

The site where my staff grid appears is www.stpatrickhighschool.net/academics/faculty

This sounds like a permalink issue. Please try going to Settings > Permalinks and clicking the save button.

HI, is there anyway I can have a link “View Cart” anywhere on the screen? I can only View Cart once I added products to Cart and can’t find this link when I’m browsing the site. Secondly, I have enabled Social Login but whenever I submit the form for payment, it says I already have an account and requested me to login and there’s no Login link. Can I have the Login link on the top menu bar? Thanks.

Sorry I don’t quite understand the request. Do you have a screenshot/mockup of what you want to do to help me understand? thanks!

Hi, yes, please see the screen capture here: http://ge.tt/4j8g0vK2/v/0?c on the before adding product to cart and after adding product to cart. Thanks.

You can disable the cart menu icon at Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce > General.

I have 3 text boxes in a row, all with different colored backgrounds, and I can’t get them to line up correctly for viewing on a tablet. On a tablet, one box stretches and appears longer than the others because it has more text in it. How do I get the others to stretch and match automatically with it? Basically I want all of the text boxes in the row to have the same size without having to adjust my text.

Hi, I need help on a great part of your theme. Using post types grid to display a category of post on a page. But I can not set the query to display only one category of post (in post type grid setting , I see query and query by taxonomies but don’t work…) .... I tried everything but I can not, how can I do? Thanks. Help me please…..tks

If you aren’t seeing the options for the category then your Visual Composer plugin may be outdated. Please try updating the Visual Composer as mentioned here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/

Two quick questions.

1. How can i change the header navigation on the mobile view ? ( i have not all subpages and also the search – i dont want it.

Thanks for your support!

Hi, How can I add an icon in the pricing table ? I wanna add it in the ‘plan’ field. I can’t see, where I can add an icon under the pricing table setting -> Plan. Thanks

Where do I place that code, you sent me. Im not sure how to insert a font-icon. I can see the font-icons in the pricing table settings, but what do I do after choosing one of them?

I dont understand the button field setting.

Thanks alot..

I just did the latest update from June 18th and the bread crumbs are still not working. I have the parent links all set up right, but the “crumb” doesn’t link.

The fix wasn’t added in this update please see the changelog – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/

If you need this fix send me a private message for the file so you can update via FTP. I will be pushing out the fix in the next big update since it’s not really a crucial issue I didn’t want to push out an update just for this.

Hi – posting this again, not sure if you missed it the first time :)

I’m experiencing an issue with the mobile nav.

The setup of the site is as such:

1) One-page using local-scroll in menu to scroll user to sections of the one-page 2) Testing on iPhone 6 plus 3) Sticky header (1)

When I activate the mobile nav on the iPhone 6 plus, the drawer toggles out. I tap a link that brings me to the last section on the page. This is when things go wrong.

1) When I again activate the mobile menu, the nav is tucked up beyond the edge of the top of the screen (please see screenshot.) meaning the first two nav links are inaccessible. It appears as though the farther you scroll down the page, the nav slowly disappears into the top of the screen.

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/jJw7zIL.jpg

2) Tapping any of the links that are visible indicate you’re not actually clicking the link you think you are (In this case I tapped on “Contact” and as you can see by the darker box, the tap was way off), and in fact you go to the wrong section of the page.

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/eFqqagf.jpg

3) This issue occurs only in Portrait mode. The nav is fine in landscape.

I hope the attached screenshots can shed some light on this issue and I very much appreciate your help. Thanks!

You’ll need to share the actual URL so I can have a look. I see you don’t have any text in the menu items only icons, it’s possible this is causing the issue, but it’s impossible to know whats up by looking at a screenshot only.
