Hi, Sorry to chase, I’m sure you’re busy. I asked about positioning the header logo on top of the menu and also moving the menu to the right but with the background full width.
This is the site so far – http://ruralunits.staging.wpengine.com Here’s the design I’m trying to create – http://ruralunits.staging.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/menu_visual.jpgMany thanks
Sorry for the delay, I responded to this same question earlier about 7 hours ago 
it seems that after the update i cannot adjust the border radius on woo commerce buttons? they setting in genera only applies it to main buttons on site, but not woo commerce buttons on shop pages.
The WooCommerce buttons got their own settings now under Appearance > Customize > WooCommerce. But I didn’t add a border-radius option. I’ll add one in the next update. Good call!
hi, can you please tell me way to get this button http://cl.ly/buqB with the some color when hovering as you have on your demo homepage 13,http://cl.ly/bv1x , i have tried all the combinations possible and nothing works, it keeps giving me white when i hover it, so when you hover it the colored border disapears however i want it to have the same effect as yours, to show the color when you hover and the text to go white. http://www.karenmonteirophotography.co.uk/demosite/index.php/contact/ , thanks
This button is created using the “Total Button” and the “Outline” style with some additional modifications for the font size: http://cl.ly/image/0z3f2T0F3t3d
Hi,
I am trying to achieve a responsive, full-height, full-width post slider on my home page. I’ve set the image size to “full” and tried setting the containing row div to “100vh” with css. But the slider does not seem to be obeying the height of the parent.
What would you advise is the best way to achieve this with Total and VC? Thanks
Hi, any thoughts here? Thanks
You can use the Slider Revolution which has the built-in ability to display at full-screen like this live demo – http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/base/home/homepage-5/
Hello,
How can I restrict the related posts widget to posts within the last x amount of time?
Thanks
Hi, any word here? Thank you
This isn’t possible to do. In fact there isn’t any sort of built-in WordPress function for querying posts within a time-frame it would require an advanced query which isn’t something that would be added into a theme but rather done as a modification via a child theme.
Wow, looks like they added this in 3.7 and didn’t even notice – ha! Thanks for the heads up
Yeah, no problem! Glad to return the favor for once ha
hi, i have 2 questions, and can you please be so kind and reply as my last question a few days ago was left without any reply, 1) how can i change the color of the links and the main menu when selected, 2) is it possible to reduce the size of the teaser boxes, i have tried to reduce the size of the pictures but that just changes the picture and leves the box witht he default size. http://cl.ly/bv1l many thanks
ive sorted the 1) problem out … still need help on the second.
The teaser box width is based on the column that it’s inside. If you want to make them smaller you can increase the spacing between your columns – http://cl.ly/image/3O2Q3G2d3U3e (this is a setting for the row containing the columns).
If I create multiple websites using this theme and do not charge them, and also use it for my own personal website. Am I able to do that? Or must I purchase additional licenses?
Sorry for the delayed response.
You must purchase 1 license for every domain the theme is used on. Thank you for asking.
Hi. I just bought and installed Total and used the child theme you provided here: https://github.com/wpexplorer/total-child-theme. But none of the changes I provide to the child theme style.css takes effect – what could be wrong? Thanks in advance.
I figured it out 
Hi. I am having problems updating Visual Composer. I am not able to update it. The same goes for Ultimate Addon for Visual Composer. Please help me with that.
The reason this became a problem was that the people at “Ultimate Addons for visual composer” told me that I needed to update these to to make the most recent add ons work correctly. But it is just not possible. Please help. Do I really need to buy Visual Composer as a standalone plugin to make this work?? I hope not.
For the Visual Composer you will have to update it as mentioned in the docs – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/
Updating the 3rd party plugin, now that’s something you’ll have to ask them because I don’t know how they handle updates.
Hi WPExplorer,
Is it possible to have the same “alternative logo” for the fixed/sticky header apply to a Page that has the Overlay Header enabled in the Page Settings?
Also, when “Overlay Header” is enabled in a single page Page Settings (the Home Page in this case), the fixed/sticky header scrolls with a background of #222 (#site-header.overlay-header.is-sticky) – is it possible for this to be white? The Fixed Header has a white background on all the other Pages (and the alternative logo mentioned above).
Thanks WPExplorer!
I will be altering things in the future so that the sticky header for the Overlay Header style is exactly the same as the default Header style. I agree that it should be like that and not how it is currently. This is something that will be done in an upcoming update.
It will screw up some people though…so I need to figure out a smart way of doing it as to not screw up people’s current sites and so they can fallback to the old method.
Header opacity is not working with the latest version. Any setting from 0.1-0.9 has no effect when scrolling.
Please show me the URL in question because it appears to be working fine for me locally – http://cl.ly/image/1e31072C1c3m
This is working now, thanks.
Awesome Thanks for the heads up!
Hello! You proposed this snippet in order to translate the “add to cart” text: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/woo-single-product-add-to-cart-text/ However, I do not know where to place it! Could you please help me? Thank you!!!
Please see the yellow notice below the snippet that reads:
All PHP snippets should be added via a child theme's functions.php file.
When i post my page on a website – then i shows a “previe” image of my page. But its a random image – is there a setup wherei can say it has to show the logo or a image i want to ? (For example, when i post my url on facebook. the preview image is bad and not what i want, how can i change the “meta tag or so” for the page ?
Thanks
You need to setup Open Graph data for your site, this can be done with many plugins. Example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/
But if you already have an SEO plugin active double check to make sure it’s not already included since a lot of SEO plugins have this built-in.
I am trying to create a bilingual site using this theme (which has great functionalities, great work!) by placing the secondary language in a sub-folder. However, the pages of the secondary language displays only as a blank page (See, for instance, http://socialinnovationaward.asia/2015/chi/about.html). Would you know why that might be the case?
Thanks much in advance.
Keith
Hi Keith,
You should consider using a translation plugin for this, such as WPML – http://www.wpexplorer.com/out/wpml/
Hi I have bought Total theme today. It’s really well done! I have one problems:
I cant update Visual Composer. There is a message: Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.
When clicking on the button I see message: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
I think I have all permission to server files. Do you know what would cause this issue?
Best regards Zbigniew
Hi,
This error was showing up for 1 other customer only and it had to do with a 3rd party plugin. To fix it he had to go to Theme Panel and disable where it says “Run Visual Composer In Theme Mode” then go to the Visual Composer settings page and click the save button, then go back and re-enable the setting. That worked for them, let me know if it doesn’t work for you!
Hi, It won’t open the customise option under appearance – Page just times out
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/troubleshooting-customizer/
Hi, enjoying this theme a lot so far. For the social icons in the top bar, I can’t see one for Soundcloud, how can I add this? Also how do you rearrange the order of them?
You can add, remove and re-arrange the top bar social items like this – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/top-bar-social-icons/
Hello I would add the attribute “_blank ” to redirect the portfolio items. How i can do it? thankss
The best way would honestly be with javascript, otherwise you’ll need to override a lot of template files. Example: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/open-all-portfolio-entry-links-in-a-blank-tab/
I am having trouble activating the Post Settings box in the editor for a custom post type. The Post Settings seem to be replaced by Namaste (a plug-in) Settings. I followed this comment advice given 7 months ago.
“The theme doesn’t automatically add it(Post Settings) to every post type because it can create a lot of issues if it did so. But Total does include a filter so you can do that ;)”
See the docs (bottom part): http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/page-settings-metabox/
I copied the code exactly to the end of the Total theme’s function.php file. However it did not work. Still no Post Settings for the new custom post type. I did get Visual Composer up and running on it too, but I really need to change the page to Full Screen and do the things in Post Settings.
Do you know or can you provide more detail about how to implement the code given in order to get the Post Settings box?
The code on that post which is the same one here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/page-settings-post-types/ – works fine when I test it locally. Make sure you have added your code correctly via a child theme and modified it for your post type.
If you want me to have a look though at what you’ve done I can do so for you. Send me temp WP and FTP logins privately.

I am trying to get sub-pages (regular pages) to show up in the breadcrumb trail. I have tried 2 things: (1) putting the page as a parent of another, and (2) placing a page under another its parent in the main menu.
Any ideas?
This is a known bug in the theme that has been fixed. Updated theme coming later this week, thank you for your patience and sorry for the troubles.
