To Whom It May Concern -

The Mailchimp Widget is not working properly. I followed the documentation and when I go ahead and save the updated link (with the sections you ask to update with your instructions it creates this link: http://fpmaint.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post-json?u=c6f09c5a82f2f0953a881a069&id=3f8a4775de&c=?

After I click save it returns the following link: http://fpmaint.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe/post-json?u=c6f09c5a82f2f0953a881a069&id=3f8a4775de&c=?

The &id is removed when you try to save it in the widget section.

Any help would be appreciated here.

Hi,

those URLs are identical. I’ve tested your URL and it works, except your form you’ve created in Mailchimp seem incorrect. Make sure it contains ONLY email field.

One last quick question. How can we specify the title font color for the services section. The preview thumbnails by default have the text as a dark grey, but we want it to be a white since it would pop off the image background.

We updated today. I was hoping you could point to the area where we could look in our customization. Not sure why a theme update should change the way the customization rolls, but I understand sometimes these things are unavoidable.

There was an update recently which slightly changed the code of Services. Honestly, I haven’t realized at the time that it will mess up existing custom skins. Just recreate your custom skin again and make sure to hit CTRL + R before copying code from default.scss to make sure you are viewing updated version.

got it. thanks!

Love the theme! How can I increase the width of general pages?

Hi,

not sure I understand. You mean content area width? If so, then you will have to hire a freelancer for that unfortunately.

Lubos

Lubos I apologize. It was a VC issue!

Please note there is a Template switcher under Page Attributes on the right when you editing the page. Various templates have various content width.

Hi There I purchased this theme and was wanting to make my entire slider a link- is this possible? Basically I am uploading a jpeg that needs to be clickable to a url…very nice theme by the way!

Many Thanks,

George

Hi,

unfortunately, that’s not possible without some code changes. You will either have to hire a freelancer for that, or just use a 3rd party slider which allows that.

Lubos

Hi,

I’d like to customize the font color for description of the service image – i.e. ELECTRICITY, SANITARY etc… to other value.

I tried to put to the individual page cutom CSS like:

.service-title{color:#333333; margin:0;padding:0 15px;font-size:1.5em;text-transform:uppercase}

where color contains customized value, but it doesn’t work. Any idea why ? or how to do this to be effective?

Many Thanks in advance, Sergiusz Michalski

Hi,

Try this:

.c-service .service-title { color: #333333; }

Lubos

Thanks mate! Works like a charm ;) – even with text shadowing: .c-service .service-title { font-size:1.8em; color: #ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 2px 3px #ffb617; }

cheers, Sergiusz

Hi,

Question nº 1:

-Can I select the service that appear in “Show service List Globally” or necessary it have to appear all the services?

Question nº 2:

- In Show “More” Link: How do I change “more info” to “más info”? (I mean that appears in spanish)

Thanks

Hi,

1.) You can’t choose which services shouldn’t be displayed

2.) You will have to translate both theme and LSVR Toolkit plugin. See this tutorial

Lubos

Hi I have a few question:

1. I would want to make the pictures at the Header to be darken but is unable to do so like your demo. I have tried the image filter but the picture is still not darken. How can I go about doing this?

2. When you hover over to the Header services, there is the excerpt and ‘More Info’ button. How do I do that as I only have the excerpt.

Hi,

1.) Those images were darkened manually in image editing software

2.) Theme Options / Header Settings – Show “More” Link

Lubos

Hi thanks for the answers.

I would also like to know how I can have a drop down menu for the Services.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I don’t understand what do you mean. Please be more descriptive. Feel free to create a screenshot and post it via http://postimg.org.

Hi there,

Trying to re-create the ‘Hear From Our Happy Clients’ section of your homepage demo with the three quotes but cannot get it to sit in line like your demo. Could you tell me how you achieved this or send me the text so I can copy and paste.

I believe I downloaded your theme prior to this being on the demo. I since have a live site etc so do not want to re-import the demo content in case it ruins my site.

Many thanks

Hi,

that section was there from the day one. Easies way is to use Front Page 1 VC layout template so you can see how it is done.

Lubos

Of course it uses a Grid. My bad. Silly question! Should have figured that out. Thanks for the swift reply. Really is such a good theme. Keep it up

For some reason the website is down (500 error) after this client went over his quota (253/250mb) after upgrading him (253/500mb). All browsers keep saying the server is down although all relative services (sql, apache etc) are up. help?

I’m the hosting provider ;) But the strange thing is the path above that’s mentioned in the error log isn’t just there. (’/home/artisanbvba/public_html/wp/wp-includes/random_compat/random.php’) Should it be in a working script? I don’t see how overquota can cause this issue..

Thnx, Yves

Your best bet is to do a clean install of WP.

Ok, seems like i had an internall server error..

“There can be a number of reasons for an Internal Server Error. Here are some thing you can do to solve it:

  • The most likely issue is a corrupted .htaccess file. Log in to your site root using FTP and rename your .htaccess file to .htaccess_old. Try loading your site to see if this has solved your problem. If it works, make sure to visit Settings > Permalinks and reset your permalinks. This will generate a new .htaccess file for you.
  • Try deactivating all of your Plugins to see if it is a Plugin issue. If you are unable to access your WordPress Administration Screens, deactivate your Plugins via FTP by following these instructions.
  • Switch the Theme to the WordPress Twenty Fifteen Theme to eliminate any Theme-related problems.
  • Increase the PHP Memory limit
  • Try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh install of WordPress.”

Guess what.. putting back the backup was to easy to not try first the other 5 options =/ .. Couldn’t login to the admin section, had to work from the phpMyAdmin etc.. But it was worth the struggle =)

Strange thing this an overquota triggered this faillure.

Thnx LSVR!

my theme is not working and made my site crash. i now uploaded the new version of the theme and i am getting this error message. “Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home3/lauren/public_html/wp-content/themes/bluecollar/functions.php on line 112”

my site has been down for over a week and cant lose anymore business.

You really don’t have to post whole code here. Line 112 looks like this:
$bottom_panel_col_number = 12 / $bottom_panel_columns;

I do apologize for posting the code but i have no idea what line you were talking about. If i counted 112 lines I would not see the bottom panel. Do you have an email where I can contact you? can people pay you to fix issues? I am losing tons of money/ google ads because my site is not working.

I think I fixed the first issue, but Im not sure what you mean by this

“Then go to Theme Options / Footer Settings set Bottom Panel Columns to let’s say 1, save and then change it back to previous value (from 1 to 4) and save.”

Do I go to the Menu-Footer.php, footer.php or functions.php what is the exact code I put in?

Again I apologize for posting the WHOLE CODE. I wont do that again. I didn’t know any better.

Well, first this is a weird issue and honestly I don’t really understand how it happened. I am thinking about two solutions for this, let’s go with easier one first:

1.) Go to Theme Options (in your wp-admin), click on Footer Settings, search for Bottom Panel Column option and try to set its value to 1. Save your Theme Options and then set Bottom Panel Column back to its previous value (for example, if you want to have four column then set it to 4) and save the settings. This should fix your issue.

2.) If it haven’t fixed your issue then you will have to play with a code little bit. You will have to edit footer.php file in theme’s root folder (wp-content/themes/bluecollar). Go to line 112, which looks exactly like this:

$bottom_panel_col_number = 12 / $bottom_panel_columns;
And change the whole line to this:
$bottom_panel_col_number = 12 / intval( $bottom_panel_columns );

If the first solution haven’t fixed it and you have issues with following the second one, send me a message via PM with your wp-admin credentials and I will take a look at it.

Hi there,

The blog element don’t refresh with the last post in automatic and I have to edit the page where is this blog element and update to show the last post.

Do you know how can fix it?

Thanks

Hi,

it should update by itself. Can you please add a new post and then share URL with the blog element (without updating anything in that page)?

Lubos

How can “share URL with the blog element”??

Share URL of your site where I can see the element. Address of your site. Post it here.

if I want to list projects on a certain page I use this code “[lsvr_portfolio number_of_items=”12” items_per_row=”4” category=”detection”]”

Problem is that the images has to be smaller pics, not the original ones (eg size has to be 25% of orignial image). Is it possible to make those images smaller?

Thx

You can try this Custom CSS:

.c-project-list.m-4-per-row .c-project { width: 10%; }
.c-project-list.m-4-per-row .c-project:nth-child(4n+1) { clear: none; }
.c-project-list.m-4-per-row .c-project:nth-child(10n+1) { clear: left; }

If it is not what you are looking for then please hire a freelancer.

yes, that works, but can I remove title or make it smaller? thx anyway for you help

Use this:

.c-project-list .project-title { display: none; }

Hi,

It seems all contact form “checkboxes” have stopped working. They were working a little while ago. Has any updates done this? Someone told me to move the “web-kit” part from the theme CSS but not sure. Please can you advise.

Hi,

can you please be more descriptive about “stopped working”?Please share your URL where I can see it if possible.

Lubos

Hi I just bought the theme, however I would like to do the front page with the 8 icons, which element should I select?

Hi,

just add your services under Services and then enable Show Service List under Page Settings when editing a page. Please read the documentation.

Lubos

Services images broke after i updated the theme. Everything else seems ok but they have all gone out of line and sucked towards the top left of the service boxes.

^^ how do i fix?

Hi,

did you updated LSVR Toolkit plugin as well?

Lubos

Hi there, sorted it. Slight tweak of CSS fixed the issue

Hello,

Just bought the theme, and trying to set up a services listing like on the demo, with the thumbnails in rows. When I try to do it, I can get one item to show up correctly (sized as I expect), but adding more than one (I’ll eventually have 8) means that the others drop below, outside of the ul/li structure the first one is in. Consequently they are way too big as they are trying to span the whole of the container.

Here’s what I get:

http://i.imgur.com/nkbIHwd.png

Ok, I’ve found the issue, it is caused by missing excerpt/description in Service. I will fix it in the next update.

Meanwhile you can fix it by editing wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-bluecollar/shortcode-generator/shortcodes/services-php file, and change lines 199 and 220 to this code:

$output .= '</div></div></div>';

Great. This fixed the issue. Thanks for the assist.

I have 2 questions remaining unsolved, although i searched for them on this forum.

1. Where can I adapt this part of the footer? https://www.rubberduck.be/wp/Schermafbeelding%202015-11-19%20om%2009.47.02.png 2. Where can I adapt the text I get on hoover over a servicebox. I’ve managed to adapt it a while ago (box ‘sanitair’ on www.artisanbvba.be) but can’t find it again. https://www.rubberduck.be/wp/Schermafbeelding%202015-11-19%20om%2009.46.45.png

It’s concerning website www.artisanbvba.be

Thanks a lot!

Yves

Hi,

1.) This is footer menu and it can be changed under Appearance / Menus

2.) That’s service’s excerpt. Edit the service, click on Screen Options in top right corner and make sure Excerpt is checked, then scroll down and you should see Excerpt field.

Lubos

Hi I am contemplating to purchase your theme. However I would like to check if this theme supports the following:

1. Mega Menu for the Services List; 2. Isit light coded; 3. Able to put call to action menu (e.g on every page in the services section; 4. If it can place 7 menu on the menus bar; 5. Able to support the following plugins with little need for programmers: - W3 Total Cache - Better WordPress minify - Google Analyticator - Google XML Sitemaps - Simple Sitemap - WP Config-O- Matic - All in One SEO Pack - All in One Wordpress Security and Firewall - Wordfence

Thank you.

Hi,

1.) no

2.) what do you mean by “light coded”?

3.) only on service detail pages, editing service list will require change in the code

4.) don’t know what you mean

5.) every plugin should work but I haven;t tested it with all of those

Lubos

Thanks for the reply Lubos,

2) Lightly coded design for this website so that it will have faster loading speed

4) 7 pages for the menu bar meaning (home, about us, services, blog, etc)

Also would you be enabling mega menu in the near future?

2.) well, you can just browse through the demo and see if it is fast enough. Lightness of a code is a very subjective thing.

4.) there is no limit for number of items in menu

No plans for mega menu.

Hello, I have just updated to 1.2.5 from 1.2.3 and it appears the .service-header>div>div>div style has disappeared from the style.css file. Which is causing the service tiles to render incorrectly?

I do not have any other plugins active – I have completely replaced the main theme folder – have not changed the child theme. There is still no change…

Line 124 in components/page-header.php should look like this in the latest version:

<a class="service-header-inner" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">

Please check this file both directly on your server via FTP and locally on your machine after you unzip .zip file.

Thank you for your help – I had a custom template that wasn’t fully updated. Sorry for the hassle

Hello,

I tried to set the change my url www.artisanbvba.be/wp to www.artisanbvba.be in ‘settings’.. Just to see I could route the side from another way then with .htaccess or so. Something I’ve better never had done. Now I can’t even go to my backend to put this back.. How can I undo this?

Thnx,

Yves

thnx! Hail to MySQL!
