You can do this with a child theme modification easily. Are you trying to override it everywhere? If so add this to a child theme’s – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/ – functions.php file:

function myprefix_alter_page_header_title_args( $args ) {
    $args['html_tag'] = 'span';
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'wpex_page_header_title_args', 'myprefix_alter_page_header_title_args', 40 );

That worked perfect AJ! Thanks so much.

Unfortunately it can’t be done with CSS. I actually had another look at the plugin code and the only way to change it is with a manual edit of the plugin code located at js_composer-3rd-party-devs/include/classes/shortcodes/vc-cta.php line 80:

$output['heading2'] = $this->getHeading( 'h4', $atts );

The VC developers are releasing a big update soon I will kindly request they add some settings to change this.

- AJ

I’ll go ahead and wait for the update to correct this. Thanks AJ.

If you want I can make you a video showing how to create a “callout” but using a column/row instead of the module. Would you be interested?

This is something the Visual Composer developers did. You can use the new tabs/accordions if you would like. But according to the developer the deprecated modules will still always work, they simple won’t be receiving any new updates/edits to them. So if they work there probably isn’t any need to change them at this time.

Hi,

Yes you can do it with CSS by targeting the column, it will work in all modern browsers. I can give you the CSS but the site http://sibelalper.com.tr/ will not load for me

- AJ

Perhaps this site block your county. You can view it from this video: https://youtu.be/qC8927Hh2vc

It is loading now, but not using the Total theme.

To target items in columns though simply give your row a custom classname then you can target it .your-custom row .element-to-tweak { YOUR CSS }

- AJ

Please see the guide here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/page-heder-backgrounds/

Aha. Yeah http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/page-header-backgrounds/ explains it all. Thanks!

If you have any issues about that or further questions let me know!

great i will wait haha. Thanks so much for the awsome support.

Hi Aj, Do you know when the new update is coming? waiting for the new update.

Also, another question, is it possible to add counts on the portfolio filter?

The update is still coming! Because the current version 3.5.3 doesn’t have any big pending bugs and 3.6.0 is mostly new features it has taken longer then expected. Also I’ve gotten a bit carried away adding some extra functionality like full support for the Custom Post Types UI plugin with added options – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/total-cpt-ui.png

Adding a counter on the filter is actually quite complex as it would require a complete re-coding of the method in which the filter is added (probably 1-2 days of work) or it could be done with custom Javascript but this would look a bit funny as the numbers would load afterwards. I have added this to my todo list for a future update but I just can’t get it added into this update because I want to release it asap.

If you don’t mind you can use this method for your filter – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifhQ7Fb-0lE – and manually enter the number of items if they don’t change too much. Or create a little shortcode that counts the posts in the category and use the shortcode for the menu items.

- AJ

Still no 3.6 version ready?

Because the current version 3.5.3 doesn’t have any big pending bugs and 3.6.0 is mostly new features it has taken longer then expected. We are having a 3rd party test everything as well and I want to make sure it’s 100% perfect on launch. If you are currently not on version 3.5.3 I do recommend updating to that version first as that one does fix some crucial bugs (I just saw your new comment).

Thank you for your patience! We are bringing a lot of cool new features, functionality and optimizations and it takes time to test everything to ensure it’s perfect. We are also optimizing all the demos for faster imports for new sites.

- AJ

Complete clear, and no problem… I’ve got work to do

Only if you want the sample data from bbPress. For example if you don’t need a forum then there is no need to activate the bbPress plugin. Or if you don’t need a shop then don’t activate WooCommerce. You will see warnings after the import if you don’t activate them, but if you won’t need that content no need to bloat up your local host.

If you just want to “learn” how the theme works a demo like Healthcare is probably best because it has less content but it still has a slider and shop so you can see how that’s done.

- AJ

sounds funny…but there’s no demo importer inside my theme panel ?

It’s not available yet, this will be released in the next update

Great, thank you for letting me know you resolved the issue. That is strange, but glad it worked

Hmm stuck with the same issue on live again. Removed the old menu, added a new one, removed it again. Still no visible menu. Going crazy here.

Was a plugin in the end that caused this . Very odd, but true. Either Envato short codes or an aweber one. Think the former

Hi,

Thank you for your purchase!

If you need support please have a look here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/how-to-request-support/

You are welcome to reply to this comment if you need any assistance. It is actually late here and I’ve been working for 13 hours today so I will probably be done soon. I will stay online for another 30 minutes though incase you respond so I can assist. You could instead submit a ticket and it’s possible my support staff can get back to you sooner.

- AJ

Thanks AJ. Just wondering how big is the file that I need to download for total theme and if I can email it to someone who is working for me and will be using this file. Have a good night. you may reply later

The actual theme is located inside the ThemeForest zip file you purchased. So extract it and locate the “Installable-Theme” folder and inside it you will find the Total.zip file. It is 20.4MB. However, you can always extract it and inside go to framework/plugins/ and move the bundled plugins out. Then re-zip the theme and send them the theme and the plugins separately if needed.

Also be sure to send them a link of the docs: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/ – which should be very useful for using and setting up the theme.

Have a good night as well!

- AJ

Hi,

This is a server related issue please see the docs here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/theme-installation-errors/ – under the section that says “Are you sure you want to do this?”.

Let me know if you have any questions about fixing the server to allow for a proper upload! Or any other questions about the theme, thank you for the purchase.

- AJ

I was hoping to do it today but I still have to test everything and add a couple other small tweaks. Maybe tomorrow? It will definitely be ready this week though!

http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/

- AJ

Oh, it is not as urgent! Provided that it’s released in the coming weeks it’s ok for me

Great! Any other suggestions or recommendations let me know!

Got it now

Oh yes this is technically a browser bug, shoot not much that can be done theme side. Basically the separator uses advanced flex styles and has a height of 3 pixels so technically the browser is rendering the row correctly. If you had maybe a 1px seperator above and below the separator does it help?

Adding a min-height to the row would definitely help.

Personally I would just use the Total heading and use a more minimal approach like this: https://cl.ly/410a0a0l3h2c (of course this I just did quickly in the browser, but maybe some good inspiration for ya). You could for example add a darker red around the icon that could look cool.

- AJ

Spacing doesn’t help and min height only starts at the top of the divider line so still looks off. That’s a shame because I like the look of the divider. BUT if it won’t work, it won’t work. I’ll just use the total heading. Trying to keep the sub-pages consistent http://titanfighting.com/mma-fight-schedule/ http://titanfighting.com/fighter-profile/pablo-alfonso/

Oh ya the heading at the top here looks good – http://titanfighting.com/mma-fight-schedule/ – with the white and border

Can you please share the URL with the issue so I can have a look? Thank you!

Hi there! No worries, I am here to help! And you have always been a very polite and reasonable customer

So unfortunately you can not filter the content below because there isn’t anything on the images themselves to tell the menu how to filter themselves. Also a filter grid must be inside a wrapper the way the images have been added in multiple rows so it wouldn’t work very well.

The theme can’t do it, but you could probably do something custom. If you add unique classes to each image via the module settings, you could use some javascript to show/hide these. You wouldn’t be able to use the theme’s native isotope filter because like I said it would require all the items inside the same wrapper.

Does this make sense?

- AJ

Not at the moment, the reason is because there are already a lot of plugins that do this so it would just be added bloat to the theme. But you can disable the included social sharing an use a sticky social plugin instead.

- AJ

Thanks AJ, it looks like your using Floating Social Bar on your site. It hasn’t been updated in a while, do you recommend?

Hi,

Actually I don’t use use that plugin. On WPExplorer.com I have my own custom code created just for my site As a developer you can imagine I generally don’t use plugins if I have the time to make my own functionality.

ps: It would be possible to make the social sticky in Total via a child theme and some custom code as well.

Wow, the site looks great!

Can you try this custom CSS and see if it works for you? http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

#footer-widgets {
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: flex;
    -ms-flex-align: center;
    -webkit-align-items: center;
    -webkit-box-align: center;
    align-items: center;
}

wow, thank you, it is very nice to hear such praise from you, it was really a great job of our web designer and our developer.

Regarding the code, it worked perfectly, thank you.

You are very welcome, have a wonderful day!

Thank you AJ.

1. The translation doesn’t work if there is 1 result only : there should be a specific answer chain to translate for this case (“result”).

For now, I simply hide the count in the title (display: none) the best for screen streamlining would be to merge Title and Sub-title in 1 line saying : Results for ”...” (adding the count at beginning if this issue above disappears)

2. Thanks, it works fine

3. For now, I’m using footer widgets, but if the conditional footer is only feasible with footer builder, I’ll try (probably in this case with the difficulty to have the equivalent of category dropdown and menu widgets)

Michel

Hi Michel,

1. Well I had a brain-fart. You are correct I will update this for the upcoming version. If you want you can also always change it manually – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/alter-main-page-title/

It does look much better: https://cl.ly/2D0e0d3y0e3d

Thank you for the suggestion!

2. Good.

3. If you are using Footer widgets it is still possible but a different process. You can use a plugin like the free Woosidebars plugin and it would be the easiest way to override the footer widgets. Otherwise it would require some advanced child theme mods.

- AJ

Thanks again AJ and have a nice day.

Great! That’s what I am here for. If you have any other questions or issues let me know.

- AJ

ps: If financially you can afford to renew your support license and/or purchase a new license for a new client I would really appreciate it Thanks!

I was able to purchase three licenses so far. I always refer people to your theme and as soon as one of my clients wants to go with WordPress I will make sure they use Total. I love this theme and your dedication to keeping your customers satisfied.

Great Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I have been dealing with some legal issues all night and trying to catch up with work and support.

I think the issue may be a bug with the older browsers and the “hover” if you use the image grid without the hover does it work?

I am actually releasing a new update this week and I am doing a full re-check in every browser of every feature. If you can test this for me it would help me a lot in troubleshooting the issue. I need to run to the store to buy a new part for my PC so I can get back and test it there rather then using an online browser tester which isn’t always as reliable.

Thank you for the purchases!

- AJ

AJ – I removed both the hover animation and the appear animation, and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I’d like to have the option to use those in your next update. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for testing! Ok so it is a browser related bug. It most likely has to do with the relative position of the image and the inline-block. Let me do some further testing and make sure it’s patched for these browsers. Thank you again for doing the check!

- AJ
