Hello, I need some help! I’m trying and trying for hours … but whenever I choose a row layout, there is still on the right side a certain space or invisible object which does not allow me to center all the elements properly. I would be grateful for any advice, cause I’m freaking out. Heres the website: www.http://relationdynamics.de/

I’ve answered via email.

Hello – Thanks for the great theme!

Is it possible to remove the next post/previous post links from blog posts?

There isn’t a built-in setting it seems (i’ll add it in the next update). But you can hide it with CSS for now:

body.single-post .post-pagination-wrap { display: none; }

Visual Composer Grid Elements: When I want change the Post Title, i become a failure message: fatal error… what i have done wrong?

Weird…To be honest I am not 100% sure what you mean by changing the Post Tile in the Grid Elements. Are you talking about here: http://cl.ly/image/0x2m2z1c080B

I would have to log in to see the error and can do so if you want me to simply send me a private message with temp WP and FTP logins:

But first please make sure everything is up to date:

Have a question ; I need to transport my website example.com > real.com

But always taken visual composer error

If everything is exported correctly there shouldn’t be any errors – http://www.wpexplorer.com/migrating-wordpress-website/

On your demo-site you can choice between different pages. Where can i find this (layout)code?

Everything is created using the Page Builder which will allow you to create essentially any page you want! If you want to import the sample data though you can like such – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/sample-data/

Footer does not appear “Appearance > Customize > Footer.” Prior to the lost of the footer in the Customize menu I trashed all the pages that came with the theme. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Footer is not list under theme features in the theme panel.

Go to Theme Panel > Customizer and make sure you’ve enabled that section for the Customizer.

I just saw your latest review. I have actually answered all your questions. I had to leave for personal reasons – but I am back now. Support is a HUGE concern of mine and take it very seriously. Unfortunately sometimes life happens…

If you still have issues with this theme and want to use it please let me know how I can help make things easier for you. I would be happy to help.

Why? Just why? Why would anyone use anything else. I’ve always hated doing website work for clients, but this theme just takes all the hard work out of it. I’ve barely scratched the surface with regards to features, but I’m happy and the client’s happy.

Bloody brilliant.

Hello ! I would to display on a custom grid a portfolio-tag with custom field item. Question: what’s exact “Field key name” term for to show portfolio-tag ?

Sorry I really don’t understand the question :(

I understand, it is already difficult to explain in my language :)

I have 3 questions. How do I edit the footer to add widgets using the visual composer? How do I make the text wrap around the image on the staff pages? And how do I remove the space underneath the portfolio carousel on my home page? http://visservennote.co.za/wordpress Thanks :)

  • How do I edit the footer to add widgets using the visual composer?

You can use the Footer Builder function – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/footer-builder/

  • How do I make the text wrap around the image on the staff pages?

With a little custom CSS ;)

body #staff-single-media {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 30px;
}
http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

The problem is you are using the Visual Composer below the image so it won’t work. I would recommend either not using the Visual Composer for the content (just use standard text) or to add the image directly using the Visual Composer and disable the auto display.

  • And how do I remove the space underneath the portfolio carousel on my home page?

This margin is from the VC column, please see here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/visual-composer-spacing/

I already wrote you a few days ago but did not get a response yet. Would be so thankful for your help!

Visual Composer is not working correctly at the moment. If I am working in frontend, many settings do not open at all like icon box, devider and many more. So I cannot really design new pages at the moment.

I already deinstalled and installed again. It is both vc and total the latest version. What can I do to solve this issue? Best regards

Can you try following the troubleshooting guide here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/visual-composer-issues/

People asking about 100% height on the slider or any DIV, her is a simple solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1575141/make-div-100-height-of-browser-window

Yep, this works great in modern browsers ;)

There is also going to be a new setting added soon to the Visual Composer for this!

Hi WPExplorer,

Is it possible to have the logo uploaded via the Customizer be served over https://?

That is, if we use WooCommerce which can “Force SSL” (https://) on checkout (where privacy is needed, etc.), we get the browser warning, “Your connection to example.com is encrypted with modern cryptography. However, this page includes other resources which are not secure. These resources can be viewed by others while in transit, and can be modified by an attacker to change the look of the page.”

The resource in question (via the Google Chrome Console) is the log we are using that we uploaded via the Customizer.

Thank you for any reply/ideas as able! :-)

The theme uses esc_url() for the logo url output so it should display in HTTPS if everything is setup correctly.

In worst case though you can use the theme filter to override the logo url – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/custom-logo-image/

Hi, I just updated something on my homepage and after updating the page settings was reset. When ever I start to update the page the Page Settings section is in default mode again and I have to change it before each update. Very annoying! Any idea why this is happening? Is that an error or how can I fix this? Thanks a lot for your reply!

I had version 2.0.1, now I updated to the newest one and the problem still occurs. Any idea how to solve this problem please?

Now I have version 2.1.4

I can’t recreate this issue at all. Did you also update your Visual Composer to the latest version – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/

If you want me to have a look for you since this isn’t a known issue you can sent me temp WP and FTP logins and I’ll do so. But I would also recommend first testing by disabling 3rd party plugins to see if any of them are breaking things (an outdated WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin has been known to cause this issue).

Q.1. How do you solve this?

a lot of space between top and text, this is on your site – mobile

Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/19zE9

Q.2. What about big fonts in logo text with long business name, this is on your site – mobile

Screenshot: http://d.pr/i/1arnc

Neither of the screenshots above are working for me to check :( Are you still having issues?

1. This page is using padding, the only way to alter the padding on mobile is via custom CSS. In the next update though there will be a new Visual Composer module though for full-height rows with centered text – coming very soon.

2. If you have a large logo you can limit the width via the max-width settings: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/custom-logo/ and for more advanced tweaks you can use CSS of course ;)

I tried to use this code to replace the header logo on mobile, but it returned a php error:

// Override the default header logo image URL if ( ! function_exists( 'wpex_header_logo_img' ) ) { function wpex_header_logo_img() { // Get logo img from admin panel $logo_img = wpex_option( 'custom_logo', false, 'url' ); // If logo URL isn't empty return the logo if ( '' != $logo_img ) { if( wp_is_mobile() ) { return 'YOUR MOBILE IMAGE URL HERE'; } else { return $logo_img; } } // Otherwise if logo is empty return nothing else { return; } } }

Can you give me the proper code to achieve this? Thanks.

It’s pretty simple stuff here is the guide for how to use action hooks – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/action-hooks/ – then use basic CSS to show and hide your logo and alternative logo.

I can write up a doc after the next update because I’m working on a new panel for Total (which is gonna be awesome) and I will make it even easier and I will write the guide based on that – http://cl.ly/image/3R1a2a1i2M2k

Thanks AJ. This looks great and hopefully will be used by many Total customers! :)

Yes, hopefully it took some time and I’ve updated it to allow PHP as well – http://cl.ly/image/2Y331m2o0J24. Thinking about adding another option as well so you can remove all default actions from any of the hooks…but scared customers will click it then wonder why native theme functions aren’t working :( So most likely no.

Hi, how are you?

I need your help about my store online www.viaphotodesign.com.br. How do I choose the home page products without being the registered new?

Sorry I don’t understand the question :(

Is there a way to download the templates for sample pages we like from the demo sites? For example if we wanted to load http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/base/home/homepage-19/ as a VC template then drag and drop our own content on top of it, do you have those available?

You can find all the code for these here – https://github.com/wpexplorer/total-sample-pages

It would be a good idea to export them all as templates (good idea) I’ll add that to my todo list.

But remember the page settings (meta options) aren’t available in templates or in the sample data linked to above, it’s only going to be the actual content.

How to I change the hover color of the Nav Menu?

Hi. What could be wrong? After Total changed to making changes to the theme in the frontend customizer everything has gotten soooooo slow. It’s incredibly annoying and tedious. I’ve experienced it on every site I’ve built since the change came into effect regardless of connection and machine. I totally love Total but can’t work this way. I took me 2 min and 46 sek to update the footer. I’ve made a video demonstrating the problem.

http://digitaltales.dk/wp-content/themes/DigitalTalesTheme/slow.mov

If you have all the customizer settings enabled (you can disable them at Theme Panel > Customize to speed things up as mentioned in the docs here http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/speeding-site/).

But even still it should only take about 5 seconds to load the customizer on a live site – http://cl.ly/061p270u1D2a – and once loaded it should be must faster since resources will be cached in your browser.

Thank you! I switched browser from Firefox to Chrome and now it is a little bit faster. Maybe the reason it also was slow was because I installed the W3 Total Cache.

Glad it’s working better now, sweet ;)

I’m trying to make some improvements to speed it up more. However you can always go to Theme Panel > Customize and enable only the settings you will be working with which will make it super fast, instead of loading all the settings.

Hi there. An image grid on my blog has lightbox enabled, but it is not adjusting the image sizes for mobile responsiveness. See here on mobile: http://wp.me/p6m6a2-1ov The lightbox images aren’t being scaled down to fit the phone screen.

Alternatively, this image grid IS responsive in a mobile lightbox: http://wp.me/P6m6a2-1g6 Not sure what is different to make one responsive and the other not. Can you help?

I’ll be happy to look for you but these pages are loading MASSIVE images and taking forever to load the page :( I would strongly urge you to trim down the images to a smaller size (maybe max 1000px wide) to speed up the site loading time (all of the grid and slider options in the Visual Composer have settings for image cropping ).

The portfolio images are already 1080 and the blog post images are already cropped to about 2000 px. I’ll consider cropping them again, but they load quickly enough for me. Now can you please address my question?

Hum…actually a lot of the photos on that first page you linked to are over 5,000px wide, such as this one > http://www.alexisrosephotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/DSC03014.jpg I have 1 gig internet speed but the server can’t server them that fast that’s why I recommended trimming them down (there is a setting in the Image Grid module for this).

Anyway..The first page has a javascript error that’s most likely causing the problem – http://cl.ly/image/3m3O2F0q1g3d – but it’s impossible to know where its coming from, you’ll need to go to the Theme Panel and disable the minify javascript setting so I can view the exact line returning an error and provide a solution.

Thanks!
