Hi, there are errors in the schema markup. One unspecified type and another error in itemtype. How to fix this? Thanks.

Well, just disregard it. I have adjusted those editing the /framework/core-functions.php file in a child theme.

It’s best to use a child theme for these modifications, altering core-functions.php will be overwritten whenever you update your theme. It appears you don’t have the purchased tag next to your username, if you are working on a site from someone else that purchased the theme, make sure you are editing things correctly via a child theme so they aren’t affected in the future – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Hi, I haven’t found how to remove the border on the header style six ( vertical ). Can you please help? remove or change the color. Thanks!!

There isn’t any border by default on this header, but there is a drop-shadow. Is that what you are referring to perhaps? If so, there isn’t an option to remove it but you can easily remove it with some CSS:

body.wpex-has-vertical-header #site-header {
    -webkit-box-shadow: none !important;
    -moz-box-shadow: none !important;;
    box-shadow: none !important;;
}

You are the best. As usual. Thanks!

Hi I have a presales question. I am managing a website that was built with Total Theme version 2.1.2 and Visual Composer/Templatera 2 years ago. VC does not work properly anymore and I also have to upgrade WP to 4.7. Should I update the theme or update VC? When I should update the theme: Unfortunately I do not know the user profile on Themeforest (we have lost contact with the person who built the site). Can I buy the theme again and when installing, do the existing pages stay intact?

I bought a new version of the Total Theme, after doing the update the site’s front end is not working with the pages using Visual Composer/templatera. New pages can be built with Visual Composer but existing pages like home page can’t load the VC and neither shows the page.

I saw you have to update the plugins independantly (also Slider Revolution, so now all is working again.

Oh great, glad you got it all working again. Thank you for letting me know!

Hello AJ,

I hope your urgency was not troublesome.

Thanks indeed for your kind answer by mail, that I’m going to work on, and also for your recommendation here about animations.

Regarding the “strange” paragraph added to the footer builder, I’ve tried all I could but the problem remains :

– I’ve switched to TOTAL theme (not child), untouched

– I’ve emptied a Footer builder page (content and css), except a row with just a grey background to check the problem visually (no margins …)

– I’ve emptied a test page, with no header / title / social / background … : http://www.culture-officer.fr/test

– I’ve disabled one-by-one the plugins that could interfere

So the problem remains – even with no background in the test page : 2 paragraphs are added in the footer builder, just before and after its empty row : http://www.pnet.fr/footer-builder-paragraph-top-bottom.jpg

Would you have another idea where this could come from, please ?

Michel

Hello AJ,

I send you the logins at gmail, thank you – actually, there are 2 paragraphs added, 1 before and 1 after the footer builder content itself.

It’s great you add animations in the new version – I suppose I’ll be automatically informed by Envato when it’s released. I agree with you that one must be cautious with them, but I believe some minor usage is interesting to catch attention here and there.

Have a nice day,

Michel

I forgot to ask you this : when you’ll use my WP admin, please tell me if you consider that it responds too slowly, as I’m thinking to change my hosting plan/provider.

Thanks in advance.

Will do. I am logging in right now and will send you an email in a few mins.

If I would like the product page https://goo.gl/MbDWaz to have the product gallery full width with title, price and so on below it, how would you recommend that to be done? Making the title block 100% takes care of that being positioned below the gallery. But how I could display the gallery fullwidth the best way I am not certain of.

This is very easy, I have a sample snippet here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/woo-product-widths/

So to make it 100% you would need this custom CSS:

.woocommerce div.product div.images,
.woocommerce div.product div.summary { width: 100% !important; }
.woocommerce div.product div.summary { clear: both; }
http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

Thanks. Should have figured that one out!

Using “Widgets in Menu for WordPress” plugin I was able to add an aWeber title and button as the last menu item in the menu. After that now comes the cart. How would you recommend me making the cart become the single last and not last item in the menu?

See https://gist.github.com/jasperf/8f31b684340a1c7f5bfa86b34cb33907 . Working now. I had made priority nine initially. At 11 it was fine. My bad. Thanks AJ!

Great!

The default priority in WordPress is always 10 so whenever you add child theme code I would recommend using like 40 or something larger (most people prefer to use 99 to make sure their code always overrides).

In terms of speed/optimization it doesn’t matter what the priority is because of how WP works. You can use 99999 or you can also use the highest number available in PHP with the constant – PHP_INT_MAX (some people like that) – example:

add_filter( 'some_filter', 'your_function', PHP_INT_MAX );

Hope that’s some useful info ;)

Very useful. Thanks a lot AJ!

Hi, is it possible to setup a row with two columns, one side image the other text and have them side by side with no padding like this screenshot? Id so how do I dohttps://screenshot.net/2r6zkbq

I’ve worked it out.

Hello – Hoping you can help with this funky error. One of our sites keeps intermittently getting these error messages at the top of their pages. I spoke with our host, GoDaddy, about it & they insisted it had nothing to do with them. In your expert opinion :) do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I can do to fix? This is the site that’s having the issue: https://bellingrath.org/ Thanks!!

When the page loads it sometimes shows this error 16 times @ the top of page:

Warning: Class __PHP_Incomplete_Class has no unserializer in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas02_data03/10/2639910/html/wp-content/object-cache.php on line 1905

I was getting the error this morning so I just updated Yoast, hopefully that will do the trick. GoDaddy basically said if I wasn’t getting the error on several sites that we have hosted with them then it wasn’t a GoDaddy problem. Thank you so much for your help.

On a side note, do you have anyone or companies that you would recommend for custom WP work or troubleshooting. We’re looking to hire someone. Thanks!

Yes, hosting companies aren’t generally very good at support. Technically they should have gone through your server error logs (assuming they are enabled and saved on the server) to be able to back-track and see where the issue was coming from. While it could or could not be a server related error, generally hosting companies will do everything they can to not go out of their way to assist a customer in troubleshooting an error (from my experience and from dealing with customer issues).

Here are some of my customers that have purchased many copies and do client work, but I don’t know if any would be available for hire and I can’t really vouch for them. I just know they have used the theme and are generally good customers and ask few questions:

  • lisawork.com
  • madebysprung.com
  • pointeradvertising.com
  • www.symplecreative.com/
  • www.hewsongroup.com/
  • designbyfit.com/
  • bhurleydesigns.com
  • diuvo.nl/portfolio/

No matter who does any custom work on your site though, be sure they are using a child theme – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/ – also, often times people hire someone for customizations and then that person just ends up here in the comments asking me how to do it, lol. So just be aware of that, thanks!

Thank you!

Hi

I´ve got problem with your theme. When you look at my page (http://militaryopps.eu/obchod/magazine-for-gun-vz-58-30/?lang=en) ifyou look below on the left you can see big window where is text “description” tab. How can I turn it back to normal look od product description and comments?

Please help me. thanks for your reply.

Finally i got it which plugin did that it was woocommerce multilingual. Sad thing about this is that i need to use this plugin. Do you think that reinstallation of this plugin could help?

ok i reinstalled it and now it works thanks for all your help!

Awesome!

Hello guys,

I have a question From the “Page options” menu, i can’t find a way to change the color of the “Title” when i use the “Background image” option. How is it possible to change this color ?

Best regards

Hi,

There isn’t any option built-in. No one has ever requested that before so we’ve never considered adding it but it’s not a bad idea! However, if you want custom title colors you could always just disable the page title then add a section at the top of the page with the Visual Composer (row with text box or heading module inside) so you can easily use any colors you want.

Or of course you could just use the custom CSS field on the page to alter it for that page only or if you want to change the color on all pages you can do that too. The CSS looks like this:

body .page-header.background-image-page-header .page-header-title,
body .page-header.background-image-page-header .page-subheading {
    color: #000;
}
http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

Thanks for your help ! Also looking forward for a future implementation

Hi AJ, When enabled, I’m not able to add a “Custom Title” to a WooCommerce product page. The custom “Subheading” shows up but the custom title does not. Is there a way this could be added in next update? Thanks in advance!

Perfect and thank you. Excited for the 4.0 version release!

;)

If you are not on my beta list already and want to be (to test the theme before the official launch) let me know. You’ll just have to open a private ticket and request it be sent to me.

- AJ

Great just opened the ticket – thanks again!

How do I do hide the following on pages and posts, as I do not want clients to mess with the pages/posts when they are editing them. 1. page settings 2. custom fields

It’s totally possible but it depends. Is the client using a different user role (editor, contributor…etc) or do you want to hide them for a specific username or hide for everyone except your username?

This will require code added to your child theme, it is outside the scope of support but I can help out with a custom snippet for your child theme if you can let me know what you need to do exactly.

- AJ

My site keeps telling me that Visual Composer is out of date and needs to be updated. Because I got Visual Composer as part of Total theme, I can’t update VC, VC will only update when Total theme updates it. Is that going to be soon?

Can you first make sure your theme is up to date?

The plugin is updated alongside the theme, but there are functions in place to prevent these notices. If you are seeing any notices to update the plugin then most likely your theme is also outdated. Can you please check?

Customizer saves full URL to logo. So when the page was moved to production address it retained the URL to the development server. How to set the path to logo as /wp-content/uploads/2017/01/slashdb-logo-sideways-500.png instead of https://www.slashdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/slashdb-logo-sideways-500.png?

That is correct. Unfortunately this is just how the WordPress customizer image upload setting works, which is outside the scope of the theme, so there isn’t anything I can do on this end :(

You could use a function via a child theme to define the main logo if you prefer instead of the Customizer setting – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/custom-logo-image/ – but updating the setting after taking your site live shouldn’t be to hard and may be the best solution.

Usually whenever I take a production site and make it live I like to do a full search-replace on the database for the old domain because there may be other content inside posts, pages, custom fields…etc that need updating and it prevents any issues. Personally I use this script: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB – since it’s so quick and easy.

That’s lame of WordPress. I found another two tags in pages content with the same problem. Is there a setting in WP or a plugin, which would by default make links to local uploaded media using absolute path (no schema or server)?

To be honest I’m not sure. I generally don’t use or recommend local paths for anything in WP. It’s always best to use absolute paths and if the domain name ever changes you can do a quick search/replace of the database for the domain name. Of course…I’m sure there is something out there, I just can’t recommend any because I don’t have experience with it – sorry :(

Hi,

Are these themes compatible with the plugin “bookly” for wordpress?

This is bookly: http://booking-wp-plugin.com

I don’t have any experience with that particular plugin, but any plugin that has been coded correctly should work with any theme. But I’ll send them a message to see if they want to test things out with my theme to make sure 100% it’s all smooth. You can also ask them as well, maybe one of their customers is already using our theme and they know.

It seems that you have no interest in supporting BuddyPress… That’s a deal breaker sorry!

BuddyPress works with any theme. I just haven’t added specific styles or custom functions for it. In fact most theme’s on this market that say they “support” buddy press don’t really do anything but add a few lines of css to their theme. When I actual go through and add support it will be done correctly via an extension plugin that actually turns the entire theme into a membership site. It is something I hope to work on this year, but I have some pending updates first coming to Total 4.0 – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/ – before I jump on that since it’s a massive project ;)

The market for BuddyPress customers is a very small market so it’s important to focus on other aspects of the theme first that will have a greater overall affect for my current and future customers.

Of course if you decide to use the theme and have any issues with buddyPress I’ll be happy to assist as I’ve done in the past for other customers using the plugin.

Additionally Total works great with this plugin – https://ultimatemember.com/ – and they even use the Total theme for their site and demo ;)

Hi AJ,

I have a row width set to 80% with full width image banner at the top of each page. It displays nicely on a laptop or desktop but when it’s displayed on a tablet, the 10% padding on each side of the page are still (understandably) present. I’d like to change that so it’s maybe 95% on tablets and phones.

I can’t use the “boxed” selection because it doesn’t allow my top image banner to stretch across full width. I’m sure I just have to find the right combination of settings to achieve this, and hoping you can point me in the right direction. Here’s one of my pages: http://mrtownhome.net/condo-listings/carrollton-va-condos/bridgewater-condos/

Thanks AJ!

Frank

Been there, tried that, choose to use VC because that’s what I understand and can work with. Providing CSS will be appreciated (AJ on vacation?).

This AJ…I am the only one that replies to TF comments (because of how ThemeForest works it’s not easy to allow other people to comment without giving them direct access to your account). Tickets are handled both my my staff and myself.

I can gladly help with CSS once the site is adjusted accordingly ;)

Right now I see you still have the Visual Composer in place so you can’t really target the div’s very well, unless you use a custom classname for the row you want to alter.

I don’t know what is going on. I have my accent colors set, but I have different colors on different pages. All of a sudden they all went to the border accent color and I can’t change them and I can’t even change the border color. I haven’t added any plugins or anything, it just changed.

Thanks for responding but like I said, I had set my global assent colors, but changed the page colors and then out of no where everything changed to the asset colors and I couldn’t even change them.

I found out that the change was the Total Child Theme, so I just went back to the Adult Theme and all is well.

When you switch to a child theme make sure you export your settings as mentioned in the warning on this page – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Thanks.

Hi, I added a custom post type (for example events) with CPT UI, and with the Total Theme support for CPT UI it was really easy, thank you.

NOW MY QUESTION:: how can I use the theme support for CPT UI but instead of using the files in partials/cpt use my own files in partials/events?

I want to optimize the code with microdata for different different CPT’s and for that I like to create subfolders in partials without touching yours

Thank You

Ok,

So…I actually added some awesome new functions for the upcoming update exactly for this – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/easy-custom-post-type-entry-override/ – because you are right using the partials/cpt/ files seems a bit messy. But it’s not available yet :(

The new filters will actually let you alter a BUNCH of different template parts: https://cl.ly/ivqw – this way you don’t have to ever override the theme’s template parts and you can instead make your own.

I don’t have an estimate for the upcoming update but I believe a beta should be ready for testing by next week – did you want me to send you the beta for testing prior to release? If so open a ticket, request it be sent to “AJ” and I’ll do that for you.

Hi AJ, I’m migrating from one host to another. But i’m experiencing some trouble with the visual composer plugin I believe. Please take a look at www.imagin8.be PS your site seems to be down to? www.wpexplorer.com is not loading at my side? Thanks Rinni

now I get some errors … and I can’t figure it out why this happens

did the process all over again and now its working again… lt us hope it stays that way ;-)

If you get any errors please let me know what the error message is. Also make sure you have WP_Debug enabled as mentioned previously – with WP_Debug enabled you should never get a white screen of death it should display an error and if not there may be some fixes needed server side.
