Hi,

Looks like the pmpro_post_classes function is part of a plugin, is that correct? If so have you tried contacting the plugin developer to see what the issue may be? It’s possible the function may have been removed in a recent update or something. Or if you can at least share the error notice you are getting that would be helpful for me to help you.

If you are trying to re add the pmpro- classes this code you are sharing won’t do that, this code would add the standard category names to the entry.

What you may want to do instead is something like this…

add_filter( 'vcex_grid_get_post_class', function( $classes ) {
    $post_classes = get_post_class(); // Get all classes added automatically to the post
    return $classes + $post_classes;
} );

Since you mentioned in a previous comment the classes you want are displayed by default in other parts of the site that use post_class() then this code should do what you need.

Hi AJ,

Thanks for the explanation and the piece of code. It does exactly what I wanted. I was thinking in the wrong direction…

Great!

Hi,

Here is the guide for importing the sample data currently: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/sample-data/

Some theme’s have pre-built pages and templates which you can use which often causes a lot of extra bloat in the theme.

Total uses the page builder to create all the pages used in the demos – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/building-pages-visual-composer/ – so you can easily recreate any of the demo pages using the modules and the Visual Composer if you don’t want to import the full sample data. If you have any trouble figuring out how a specific page was created I can give you the exact code from the page for you to paste on your site, just let me know which page you are referring to

When you update your theme it is a good idea to de-activate your plugins, but it’s not 100% required. If you de-activate the Visual Composer you will still have access to the pages created with the Visual Composer, but in order to modify them and have them look good on the front-end you need t ore-enable the plugin.

Unfortunately support is for the person whom purchased the theme, can you please be sure to log in with the correct account “powerqueryanalyst” used to make the purchase for future support? Thanks!

Or you can always purchase your own license which will give you support and then you can use that new license for your next client

Also with a valid license you will be able to log in and submit private tickets – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/ – which allows us to log into your site and help you out with specific issues or help you set things up correctly.

Ok, awesome! Will it contain the new css for the navigation on the WooCommerce my account page?

Yes it will – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/

I see the “Fixed WooCommerce account pages design” entry already. Great! Looking forward to 3.6.0. Thanks!

This is pretty advanced stuff so it would require child theme edits – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

You could use this functionality – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/add-new-portfolio-single-blocks/ – to add/remove blocks based on the category the post is in.

However, if you need more advanced functionality or if it requires many edits it may be best to instead either create different post types rather then using portfolio categories and creating unique single-type.php files in your child theme for each type or creating a single-portfolio.php file in your child theme that checks what category a post is in and then displays it’s content accordingly.

- AJ

Thank you for your prompt response!

Hi. I am finishing the update this weekend! And yes you will be able to upload the demos via the admin please see the upcoming changelog here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/

As long as I don’t get too many support questions today I should be able to finish it up

Thank you for your patience,

- AJ

Thanks!

Ok I see, so you are using the column offsets for this, unfortunately the CSS used by the Visual Composer triggers at 992px and is a bit tricker to modify. I would recommend instead removing the column offsets completely and give your row a unique classname via the General settings for the row, something like ‘offset-row-on-tablet-portrait’. Then you can use CSS instead to target this specific class and make the columns 50% where you need it via media queries. Make sense?

- AJ

Thanks! ~ I will add a classname so I can override the CSS.

If you need help with the CSS override, let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

- AJ

Great! You are welcome Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks! you too… Last question, if you look my pagination is not woking, surely something is missing me : http://rocketsweb.com/disenosweb/

This is actually a WordPress issue. Because your Portfolio item slug is “disenosweb” and your main page is also “disenosweb” it breaks pagination. You have to go to Portfolio > Post Type Editor and change the main slug to be something else such as ‘disenos-de-web” or change the main page slug.

Does that make sense?

Cool site! Hopefully you will buy more Total theme license for your clients in the future I am releasing a new demo importer this weekend – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/08/demo-importer.png

- AJ

Hi,

I sent you the exact code to use in a previous comment for hiding a page on the site. Here it is again:

Regarding your question, this is a bit tricky. The login part is easy, you would just create a new user in WordPress with the name and password you want and a subscriber role. You can create the login page with the Visual Composer since Total has a login form module. Now to restrict access to the pages is more complex you can use a plugin for this, or you can use custom code in a child theme to redirect non-logged in users back to the login page when trying to access the specific page. Example:

function my_redirect_users() {

    // Prevent access to page with ID of 2
    if ( is_page( '2' ) ) {

        // Redirect by default
        $redirect = true;

        // Check logged in user
        if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

            $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
            if ( 'username_to_test' != $current_user->user_login ) {
                $redirect = false; // do not redirect this user
            }

        }

        // Redirect user
        if ( $redirect ) {
            wp_redirect( 'REDIRECT_URL', 301 );
            exit;
        }

    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_redirect_users' );

So for the login page what you did looks correct to me. You just need a standard login form. From what I understood there is going to be a global resident login/password, right? If so then you just need that single user to give people the name and password. They should be able to login with that form you have added to the site. Then you add the code above and modify it to redirect users.

If you want each user to be able to create their own account you can use Gravity Forms which I use on my site – http://www.wpexplorer.com/members/ – to create a sign up form with an activation process. My activation works by having the user click a link in an email they receive but you can set it up with manual approval so that an admin has to log in and approve the new user. This could be something a new resident would go into the leasing office and when signing the lease create their account with the leasing manager/assistant.

To be honest though, this is all way beyond the scope of support. I do need to focus my efforts on bugs and future updates. So there isn’t much more I can provide for this topic, but really hope it is enough to get you on the right track!

- AJ

I’m sorry I guess I thought the previous code was for more than one password protected page vs a single one at the time. Sorry, I didn’t mean to take you away from the other stuff but thanks so much for going above and beyond I really appreciate it.

No worries! I’m still here to help if you need it I’m just trying to hard to get the 3.6.0 update finalized – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/ – which is going to be awesome!

If we don’t chat before then, have a nice weekend!

Hi,

This is something to ask the plugin developers about. My recommendation would be to test using the “Excerpt” function for your posts and see if the plugin will grab the excerpt because it’s impossible for it to display the shortcodes. I left a comment on the plugin page (you mean the one on code canyon, right?) to see if there is a filter available to return a custom excerpt function.

That said, I would HIGHLY recommend disabling the Visual Composer for your posts. First because you aren’t really using it for blog posts but also because if you ever want to switch to another theme or remove the Visual Composer you’ll be left with the shortcodes. I looked through various posts and it’s mostly text and images (like blog posts should be) so disabling the VC for your blog would be best – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/enable-disable-vc/

ps: Your site looks really good! I love how you set things up, super clean and slick.

- AJ

Thank you AJ writting the first sentence at the excerpt seems to bypass the shortcode!

HI,

If you need the WPMU Dev plugin can you re-enable it so I can re-test the page and see if there is any error in the console? Thanks!

- AJ

I enebled it again and the gallery still works.. :/ not sure what was the problem..

Maybe it was a caching issue. Whenever you enable a new plugin or update anything be sure to clear all browser and site cache.

You can not actually upload images to the comments, however, you can use any online image sharing website to share pictures via the comments.

If you purchase the theme you can also submit a private ticket which will allow you to upload screenshots – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

My boss has purchased the theme.. you must have seen his message in the comments .. his username is powerqueryanalyst

Hi,

There is a username called “powerqueryanalyst” that left a comment 5 days ago and he has already been helped

Oh I see what you mean you want to add text after the bullets. yes this is because of the reset of the last bullet item as mentioned above via the last-child method. the only way around it is really is to add a spacing shortcode above the text. It’s important for the theme to remove this margin.

Example shortcode:

[vcex_spacing size="20px"]

- AJ

worked perfect! THANK YOU!

Sure thing!

I do see your support license has expired, just a heads up. If financially you can renew your license I would really appreciate it or if you purchase a new theme license for another site/client it will also renew the support. If financially you can’t at this time I understand and I will continue to provide support. Thanks!

- AJ

Mmm this one? http://teachersrightinghistory.org/staff-member/seton-st-elizabeth-ann-2/

I’m not sure if I understood correctly, but the one I pasted has been generated with Wp All Import, so it’s the theme’s default.

And about adding files to the child theme, if you mean code, yeah, I did it a few times. I’m already using your child theme sample, and you helped me tweak it in the past, so if it’s just adding more code, yeah.

Because I will need to help you out by sending you a PHP file for this can you submit all info via a ticket and request it be sent to “AJ” – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/ – it will be a lot easier to help you out.

Please do realize this is something way beyond the scope of support so I am doing a favor helping you out with this, at this time there are a lot of tickets in the queue and I am swamped with the release of Total 3.6.0 – but I will get back to you asap. Thank you for understanding and your patience.

- AJ

I really appreciate it. Thank you so much! I’ll be patient =)

You can use the single image and link to the staff post. But maybe this is something best done as a new custom module/shortcode for the site. You may want to consider adding a new custom post type called “Fights” in which you can have the ability to choose the 2 fighters that will be fighting against each-other and on the front end it would be able to pull the data and display it. It envolve more work of course creating something custom for the client, but would be much easier to update.

Hi Marc,

I am glad you like the theme!

Here is the guide for adding row backgrounds – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/full-screen-rows/

The size doesn’t matter because it’s a background and monitors are different sizes you need to just select a background that will look good across all devices. I recommend using an overlay for the background as well – http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/features/builder-modules/backgrounds-overlays/

Because your page has a sidebar if what you want is a full-width area under the title you may want to use a slider instead – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-sliders-top-pages/ – it would be impossible to add a row and background into your page content and have it magically moved above the content and sidebar.

Or you can consider altering the page title to give it a nice background – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/page-header-backgrounds/

- AJ

Thanks AJ,

You gave me a lot of options to consider.

Will go over them and determine which is the best one to use.

Much appreciated.

Sincerely, Marc

You are welcome if you have any other questions just let me know!

Oh ok, for staging purposes that makes sense How is the stagging setup though? From my experience most people using stagging sites do not use relative URL’s they either change the URL’s after making the site live via a DB search/replace or the stagging process changes it automatically when moving live.

So the reason it won’t work on some Post Grid styles for example the default one is because the Visual Composer sets the image as a background using preg_match to set the absolute URL to make sure the image is defined correctly for the CSS.

Can you share the function you are using for this via a gist? gist.github.com

So I can take a look and see if it’s possible to tweak it accordingly.

- AJ

Below is a link to the gist (assuming I inputted it correctly). I’ve had an external request to pursue this and would like to make it as efficient as possible. Thus I have been looking for a solution that does not require me to utilize the DB.

Thanks. This is a pretty complex request, do you mind opening a ticket and requesting it be sent to me “AJ” so I can add it to my pending tickets and get back to you asap? http://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

I think it would be easier for me to help then via the comments also so I can “star” the ticket.

By the way, if possible can you send FTP logins for the stagging site so I can test a couple things for you?

I do believe we can do all of this via the functions.php file as well without editing any template files, which would be ideal.

- AJ

Hi Victor,

Please have a look here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/enable-disable-vc/

It sounds like the Visual Composer may be disabled for those post types. Please double check your settings and if you still have issues let me know.

- AJ

Yess AJ. That´s perfect. I will keep walking with your Theme. Many thanks for your support!

How are you displaying your product categories? If you are using the shortcode in a page my suggestions would be to instead use the Total “Categories Grid” Visual Composer module which allows you to display the product categories but also style them and choose from different hovers and overlay styles: https://cl.ly/3a3C1k2R2F1y

This module also offers more options like showing the category description, cropping the image, altering the entry CSS, changing the columns, etc
