Here’s a screenshot of the error.. http://updated.chiroxtrav.com/downloads/total-mobile.png

Hi Mauro,

Yes Total does support the nextpage function. I just tested locally to double check and make sure there isn’t any bugs, when using nextpage you should see some links like this: http://cl.ly/2B04081p1b1C

They don’t have much styling added to them. I will add default pagination style to these in the next update!

Make sure when adding the nextpage link you do it in “text” mode it will not work in visual mode – http://cl.ly/3H0V0b0r3F3E

Hi AJ,

I checked again and now everything works. Maybe it was a cache problem, but I’m not sure about that because before writing the comment here in the support section I tried to empty all caches on browser and WordPress. What do you think about insert a button with the URL for every page? Just to create a temporary custom style while you add this function (and I really thank you about that).

Mauro.

Hi Mauro,

Glad it’s working!

Sorry I don’t understand what you mean by “what do you think about insert a button with the URL for every page”. Can you please explain or share an example? Thanks!

- AJ

Hi AJ,

I was wondering about replacing the simple page number on the bottom left (the number automatically added using the <!-nextpage-> tag) with the usage of buttons added with the shortcode, linking a page of the post to every button. But doing this I don’t know how to hide the multipage number created using the <!-nextpage-> tag. Actually, I’m not able to give you an example because I’m not working on my website, I’m sorry. I hope I’ve been clear with my explanation.

Thanks,

Mauro.

Sorry I am not sure what text at the “bottom” you are referring to. This what the Post Series box looks like: http://cl.ly/1q0c013T2U0Q – it should just be a list of links to the various posts. Can you please specify the exact text you are trying to alter? Thanks!

- AJ

The theme uses the WordPress esc_url function for security reasons, which seems to strip out the skype calls. If you are using a child theme you can add this function to your child theme to fix it:

function ss_allow_skype_protocol( $protocols ){
    $protocols[] = 'skype';
    return $protocols;
}
add_filter( 'kses_allowed_protocols' , 'ss_allow_skype_protocol' );

I will add a fix for the next update, thank you for the heads up!

- AJ

Or like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2wEqDtBD2E

You can log into WordPress and go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Sticky Header and select your style of choice: http://cl.ly/1J1e0G0L2U2m

This will make the header “sticky” as you scroll down the page so it’s always visible.

- AJ

Works on desktop, not on mobile. Can’t see the header on mobile on scrolling.

The Construct demo uses the “Toggle” mobile menu style which can’t support a sticky header because the menu must toggle below the header and if it’s too long and the menu is sticky it would be impossible to view all items. If you select a different mobile menu style – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/mobile-menu-styles/ – then if you go back to the sticky header settings you will see a checkbox to enable sticky on Mobile.

Make sense?

- AJ

Yup. Thanks for quick response.

1. The menu button on mobile + the actual menu on desktop isn’t vertically aligned in sticky header.

http://i.imgur.com/Vx4uWVz.png

2. Is there a way to click parent page (that isn’t linked to anything, just serves as a parent page) instead of the button to show child pages in mobile (sidebar header settings).

3. Now it’d be better if the header gets hidden, not sticky on the top. Once I start scrolling upwards it should be shown. Can you add this for future requests?

Thanks!

1. It should be, can you share the URL so I can have a look?

2. Yes, but it requires custom code via a child theme since it requires various javasript edits, please see here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/sidr-dropdown-target/

If you don’t have a child theme and wish to set one up see here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

If you prefer though I can make you a little plugin for the mobile menu toggle thing that you can simply install and activate – let me know! As I started making some for customer requests – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/extensions/

3. This is a completely different type of sticky header. You mean the header becomes sticky only when scrolling up but not down. I have seen this function on various sites lately (not a huge fan actually – well not a fan of any sticky on mobile because there is so little screen space anyway) but a couple customers have requested it so I may look into adding the setting in the future. Believe it or not, it’s actually a massive edit because there are so many choices and options for the header and customers can tweak the hell out of things so there is a lot to consider, but I do plan on including this style of sticky header as well as one that appears after scrolling past a certain location (defined by customer). Just not something I can do yet, but hopefully in the near future!

- AJ

The url is web.holandtravel.ba (I’m developing there, will move it to other domain once it’s done).

2. I’ll take a look into creating child theme tomorrow. I prefer that over a plugin. Does this hide/disable the arrow? I’d like both text and arrow to work.

3. Yup. Scroll up header appears, scroll down it gets hidden.

Any update on vertical alignment?

Sorry for the delay. The alignment has to do with the fact that you have the “shrink header” function enabled but you are using a text logo which can’t be shrunk (text doesn’t have a fixed height that can be altered since it’s standard font), this causing a little discrepancy. I’ll make sure to update things so if a custom logo is not defined this doesn’t happen.

If you are using a text logo and not an image logo please go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Sticky Header and select the standard sticky header style : http://cl.ly/1A2w1j2k1X2v

I’ll add a fix/tweak for this in the next update. Thanks for the heads up!

- AJ

I added the code for sidebar on mobile, but still doesn’t work when I click on the menu. I still have to click on the arrow.

Added child theme, and in the child theme’s function.php added the code. Hope that’s the right way.

Yes that is the correct method. Can you please share the URL so I can have a look? Thanks!

web.holandtravel.ba

Seems I haven’t activated it (actually did but returned parent theme later on).

How do I export customizer settings?

Hi,

Are you sure your theme is updated to the latest version 3.4.0? http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/

The theme includes the latest version of the plugin. Please see here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/

The easiest way to update is if your theme is up to date simply disable the plugin then go to Appearance > Install Plugins and you should see an update available for Visual Composer. Then you can update it then re-enable the plugin.

The reason I suggest disabling the plugin is to prevent any problems with the WordPress update transients.

Please let me know if you need further help with this!

- AJ

Hi there, Thanks for the quick answer. This is the last update: themeforest-6339019-total-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme-wordpress-theme Since I update theme and WP I can not work with visual composer. In evanto forums told me that you should provide the update for visual composer. https://forums.envato.com/t/visual-composer-update-problem/44190 Aparently its not an update for visual composer in appearance-install plugins. Visual composer has got particular place in WP desktop. Sorry but i am new in that and I don´t know too much. Thanks

M

Hi,

It sounds like your theme is not up to date. Please update your theme. To do that you must setup auto updates:

• http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/update-theme/

After you update your theme you should be able to update the Visual Composer without any issues.

When you go to Appearance > Themes your theme should be version 3.4.0 which is the latest version. Otherwise you will not be able to update the plugin.

Please let me know if you are still confused!

- AJ

Hi AJ, I have done everything you told me and the versión know is 3.4.0 but visual composer doesn´t work yet. http://mil24tele.com/imagenes/version.png I don´t know how to update visual composer, when I tried it ask me to pay … Even if not my problem…If you see in the photo, when I update templatera it says me that: Templatera requires 4.11 version of Visual Composer plugin to be installed and activated on your site. Current version is 4.10. I can not finish the web without visual composer… Could you help with that? Thanks in advance.

M

Hi,

It’s very simple.

• De-activate the Visual Composer
• Go to Apariencia > Install Plugins
• Select to update the plugins : http://cl.ly/1G1T3F3G0F2l
• Re-enable the Visual Composer

Please let me know if you still have troubles!

- AJ

Hi, I just did it yesterday before I read your message and it worked, so thanks a lot. I have another problem after I update the theme and visual composer. When I try to add a new element, I miss some elements like: portfolio grid, staff grid, staff carousel and some more…Do you know why? Thanks for helping.

M

Hum…

First go to Theme Panel and make sure the setting called “Total Visual Composer Modules” is enabled as well as the various post types. For example if you disabled the “Portfolio” function in the Theme Panel then of course the Portfolio modules will not display.

Also go to Appearance > Role Manager and make sure all the elements are enabled.

More info here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/visual-composer-issues/

If you are using Header styles 2, 3 or 4 it actually creates a sticky menu so you should now instead see a tab for Sticky menu. This was done to avoid any confusion when using those header styles.

Can you confirm if this is the case?

There are many reasons why I would avoid bundling that plugin. But you are more then happy to purchase it and use it if you want to

Whenever a plugin is bundled I must provide support and updates for that plugin. So if that plugin has any bugs, issues I must support it. It is a massive plugin and I could end up potentially spending more time and money supporting it then it could potentially increase earnings. We already get enough tickets and spend a considerable amount of money forwarding customers to the correct place for help for that plugin without even having it bundled. That’s one of the main reasons. But there are others.

For this particular plugin it’s best if customers purchase it on their own so they do have access to the direct support from the seller.

Hope this makes sense!

- AJ

ps: Total already has many custom modules included if there is a specific 1-2 things from that plugin you would like to see in Total let me know (just give me the names I can locate them, no need for urls). I may consider including modules for these things in future updates.

Thanks AJ. That makes good sense. Do you think there’s any reason it would not play nicely with Total? I think that’s one benefit to a bundled plugin; it’s been fully tested and styled to fit well with the theme.

I have many customers using the plugin I don’t see why there would be any issues if the plugin has been developed correctly. If you do have issues they should be able to fix them for you.

Total does make 1 tweak to rows – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/why-total-tweakd-vc-rows/ – but that should have 0 affect on custom modules added by a plugin.

- AJ

You will need to share the URL so I can have a look. Because the mobile menu assumes you have a header (so it can grab the links from the main navigation) it is probably throwing an error. I am guessing you are using the mobile menu alternative location? So maybe I ned to add a little fix for that. If you can share the URL to confirm that would be great!

- AJ

The site is in maintenance mode so I will need to give you an admin login. Can I pm that to you?

That would be great! http://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

Please request that your “ticket” be assigned to “AJ” to make sure I can get back to you on this since it may likely require a theme update to fix the issue. If you want you can send temp FTP access for me to fix it on your site manually so you don’t have to wait for the next theme update.

Please also copy/paste what you wrote in the first comment or re-explain the issue in the ticket since I get so many questions I may forget. Thanks!

- AJ

I just sent you a pm with that info, but I will open up a support ticket.

Could you please paste your code on a Gist – gist.github.com – because a lot is being stripped out and it’s very hard to see what’s going on.

- AJ

thanks for looking: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/710f2d88ea25f971f65065d7716d41d3

Thanks!

Oh ok, I added a new check to prevent any menu functions from being added to the site if the header was disabled (to optimize things – see framework/classes/global-object.php – http://cl.ly/3m3o343D3l1p).

Since your first function disables the header it will also disable the menu. Here is a another solution that simply removes the header and adds your own. Because technically you aren’t disabling it, you are replacing it.

function my_replace_page_header() {
    if ( is_front_page() )  {
        remove_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'wpex_page_header' );
        add_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'my_custom_header', 0 );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'my_replace_page_header', 10 );

function my_custom_header() {
    get_template_part( 'header-home' );
}

Let me know if you have any issues with that.

There are other options but I think this is best.

I’ll see about maybe adding my own function wpex_get_template_part this way you can easily override template parts via a filter like this:

function my_override_header( $part ) {
    if ( is_front_page() && 'header' == $part ) {
        $part = 'header-home';
    }
    return $part;
}
add_filter( 'wpex_get_template_part', 'my_override_header' );

That would be much better/easier. Maybe I’ll add it at least for the core site elements since adding it everywhere may slow things down a tad.

- AJ

Ok so I am adding 2 new functions and a filter in the next update. So after you update you will be able to replace the header with only this code:

function my_header_part( $parts ) {
    if ( is_front_page() ) {
        $parts['header'] = 'header-home';
    }
    return $parts;
}
add_filter( 'wpex_template_parts', 'my_header_part' );

Here are the 2 new functions being added: http://cl.ly/2Q2i2f1e421d

And I will add at least the core template parts to this function. It should make things a lot easier and less bloated for child theme replacements

the only issue I am having now is on the home page I get two headers (custom and standard) when using the below code.

function my_replace_page_header() {
    if ( is_front_page() )  {
        remove_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'wpex_page_header' );
        add_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'my_custom_header', 0 );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp', 'my_replace_page_header', 10 );

function my_custom_header() {
    get_template_part( 'header-home' );
}

This code:

 remove_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'wpex_page_header' );

Should be removing the default header. Did you edit the hook the header was added into?

I of course tested the code before sending it to you so it should be working on the latest version of the theme.

- AJ

I have version 3.4.4 and I did not edit the hook.

for some reason it is not removing the header but it is adding one in fine.

I even tried to remove the header with just the code below and it would not remove:

function my_replace_page_header() {
    if ( is_front_page() )  {
        remove_action( 'wpex_hook_main_top', 'wpex_page_header' );
    }
}

I am looking forward to the update and appreciate all your recent changes to make this happen.

Very weird!

If you want you can tweak the parent theme to make use of the new functions

• First open framework/core-functions.php and add the following anywhere:

/**
 * Get Template Part
 *
 * @since 3.4.1
 */
function wpex_template_parts() {
    return apply_filters( 'wpex_template_parts', array(

        'togglebar' => 'partials/togglebar/togglebar-layout',
        'topbar'    => 'partials/topbar/topbar-layout',

        'header'       => 'partials/header/header-layout',
        'header_logo'  => 'partials/header/header-logo',
        'header_menu'  => 'partials/header/header-menu',
        'header_aside' => 'partials/header/header-aside',

        'page_header'            => 'partials/page-header',
        'page_header_title'      => 'partials/page-header-title',
        'page_header_subheading' => 'partials/page-header-subheading',

        'footer_callout' => 'partials/footer/footer-callout',
        'footer'         => 'partials/footer/footer-layout',
        'footer_widgets' => 'partials/footer/footer-widgets',
        'footer_bottom'  => 'partials/footer/footer-bottom',

    ) );
}

/**
 * Get Template Part
 *
 * @since 3.4.1
 */
function wpex_get_template_part( $part = '' ) {
    if ( $part ) {
        $parts = wpex_template_parts();
        if ( isset( $parts[$part] ) ) {
            get_template_part( $parts[$part] );
        }
    }
}

Next edit framework/hooks/partials.php and locate line 64 and change where it says:

get_template_part( 'partials/header/header-layout' );

to say:

wpex_get_template_part( 'header' );

Then you can use the new method: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/using-wpex_template_parts/

Since this will be available in the next update you won’t have any issues after updating. This would be best I think!
