Hi there,

1. I refreshed the site about 15 times each in Chrome, Safari and Firefox and couldn’t see the issue. Does it happen on your computer only? Maybe it’s cache related?

2. That is extra strange…So basically it sounds more like the fonts aren’t loading on the site. I see the font is set to load only if the slider loads. I would recommend loading “Alegreya Sans” if you are using it in many places site wide. You can do this at Appearance > Customize > Typography > General > Load Custom Font

3. The best place to translate the theme is via the .POT file – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDa_8sflQE – but there are plugins you can use instead I believe a popular one is “Loco Translate”.

4. Most good servers create backups of your site so I would recommend asking your webhost if they have a backup solution included already with your plan and if you can download it (if you want a hard copy). Otherwise there are hundreds of backup methods/plugins available out there. Personally I use and recommend “VaultPress” it is a premium solution but extremely fast, well developed, it backs-up your site as you modify things so you never will lose anything, has some built-in security systems…etc. Very good solution.

5. Nothing in your child theme/settings should be “destroyed”. The docs for updating are here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

One thing to mention is if you use the Envato Market plugin to update via the dashboard when a theme is updated in WordPress it always asks at the end if you want to “activate it” because you are using a child theme if you choose to “activate” the updated theme it will switch to the parent, so don’t click that button. Just let the update run and close the last window

Hi AJ again!

1. Really weird so…, I clear cache normally, and is still happening and I’ve asked some friends to take a look at it, and happens too.. (is not happening always, just maybe 1 out 6 times when refreshing the page)... : /

2. Ok cool. So I checked this option: “Load Fonts After The Body Tag”. Hope is the one you ment. (cause “Load Custom Font” ins’t there ; )

3. The link / video you sent me doesn’t exist anymore…, could u try again or say me the route where could be that file in the ftp / theme folder?

4. Thanks for the information ; ) Ill check it out.

5. Thanks for the docu link ; ) And thanks for the envato tip. I think then, I will try it via FTP—> “Delete and override the “Total” folder files with the new ones downloaded ” That might be easy I think ; ))

Thanks a lot, bests

Hi,

1. I still can’t recreate the issue I’ve tried in a few different browsers. I think doing what I recommend about loading that font via the “Load Custom Font” field should help.

2. No I did mean the “Load Custom Font” option. If you don’t have it there then y our theme most likely is outdated:

- http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/ - http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/

Current version is 4.0

3. Sorry for some reason the link copied incorrectly, this should work: https://youtu.be/SDa_8sflnQE

ps: For any future comments/questions can you leave 1 comment per-issue? It really makes things much easier to respond to questions and for other users to find answers to the same thing. Thank you so much!

Thanks for your comment. It just happens when referring to the homepage www. bseni.nl. When linking to the other pages from a Linkedin post, the image is shown correctly. How do I add a made-up parameter to the link of the homepage? Because is not possible to change the permalink for this page. Kind regards, René

Hi Rene,

A “made-up” parameter is just adding ?= something to the URL. Example: https://www.bseni.nl/?v=2

Hi AJ, It works. Thanks. Kind regards. René

Found it. Strangely enough it is named FAQ Didn’t get it at first glance …

Yes, I think FAQ may be a bit confusing I’ll see about changing it to “FAQ/Toggle” for the next update!

Hi A.J

Pleasure ! I’m using the standard blog output, here’s the link to the site : http://empiredesnovels.fr/

The speed is not the problem, it’s just that the images take to much space on the telephone screen and the readers has to scroll down alot. ^^

Thanks, Daolateur

Hi,

Do to hide them you can use this code:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  body .blog-entry-media {    
    display: none !important;
  }
}

But you could also just make the image smaller if you want like this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  body .blog-entry-media img { max-width: 150px !important; }
}

Result: https://cl.ly/jmHt

Hey, what a cool looking site, good job with the tweaks!

Hi A.J,

Thanks for the codes thats perfect.

Thank you for the complement but it’s all thanks to your great theme and the additionnal codes that you gave me

Thanks again, Daolateur

Hi,

Oh…so you want your custom post type to look exactly like your blog and use the blog Customizer settings? So when you change anything in the customizer under the blog tab it also affects your custom post type?

If so…why don’t you just use a standard category and not a whole new post type?

Of course if you want to do this it is possible and very easy via the ‘wpex_is_blog_query’ filter as shown here – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/alter-archive-to-display-blog/ – just change ‘events’ to your post type name ‘pferde’.

- AJ

ok…now i am at 90% what i need… “wpex_is_blog_query” works but i need a little more customization for the cpt i have…at the cpt archive view i need some custom fields under each entry…see screenshots…how can i hook in into “wpex_is_blog_query” for the horses cpt or create this view…than it would be perfect…

The CPT Horses should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/xlpyIAk.png

The code for the yellow spans is this: <span style="color:#000!important;background-color:#FFDE15;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:4px;padding-bottom:4px;"><strong>Alter:</strong> <?php $alterraw = get_field('alter_pferd'); $fohlenalter = str_replace("0.5", "Fohlen", $alterraw); echo $fohlenalter; ?></span> <span style="color:#000!important;background-color:#FFDE15;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:4px;padding-bottom:4px;"><strong>Geschlecht:</strong> <?php echo get_field('geschlecht_pferd'); ?></span> <span style="color:#000!important;background-color:#FFDE15;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:4px;padding-bottom:4px;"><strong>Stockmaß:</strong> <?php echo get_field('groesse_pferd'); ?> cm</span> <span style="color:#000!important;background-color:#FFDE15;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:4px;padding-bottom:4px;"><strong>Farbe:</strong> <?php echo get_field('farbe_pferd'); ?></span>

The Blog is ok like this: http://i.imgur.com/L919jhb.png

Hi,

You can add new “blocks” to the blog entries via some code. See this example snippet – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/new-blocks-blog-entry-layout/

But if you want a fully custom post type look it may be best to just use this functionality – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/using-wpex_template_parts/

Example for overriding custom post type entry: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/easy-custom-post-type-entry-override/ – then you will have 100% control over your post type display via your own output.

- AJ

#site-navigation .dropdown-menu >.current-menu-item >a, #site-navigation .dropdown-menu >.current-menu-parent >a {border-bottom:1px solid #6db53e;}

You should be able to reset it on hover like this:

body #site-navigation .dropdown-menu > .current-menu-item:hover > a,
body #site-navigation .dropdown-menu > .current-menu-parent:hover > a {border-bottom:none; }

This way when you hover over the parent li element it removes the border on the link.

Awesome. Thank you. That works.

I had a look here https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and it say it has some javascript problems that are slowing down the speed. Is that something related with the Theme?

https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/eQHiNo/http://spartanlogistica.com Resources with a ”?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources: https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.min.css?ver=5.1 https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins ... /assets/js/dist/js_composer_front.min.js?ver=5.1 https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins/revslider/public/assets/css/settings.css?ver=5.4.1 https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins ... blic/assets/fonts/revicons/revicons.woff?5510888 https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins ... lution.extension.navigation.min.js?version=5.4.1 https://spartanlogistica.com/wp-content/plugins ... lution.extension.slideanims.min.js?version=5.4.1 ... ...etc ...etc ...etc

Is that a problem related with the theme?

I’m fighting with my hosting provider, because I can not understand why this page loads so slow. I know it is a shared hosting, but I have other sites with the same hosting and the load much faster…

Thank you, any help is appreciated

Hi,

Thank you for your response regarding licensing. You make a valid point. What I can do is have a checkbox that says “development mode”. What this does is it allows you to activate the theme but maybe it shows a warning in the dashboard (something you wouldn’t want a client to see) until it’s live and active?

Also unlike other theme’s my thought it to create a function you can enable to hide things like the theme panel and customizer from anyone except a specific user/users. This will allow you to setup a site and prevent access to particular functions for your end client. Let me know if that would be a good idea.

Regarding your slowness issues…

• You can disable the ?= on resources so that the browser can cache them but the theme doesn’t do this by default because whenever you update your theme/website your visitors won’t see the changes unless they clear their browser cache. However, you can easily remove the version numbers with a little code – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/how-to-remove-script-version-numbers/

• For me the website loads in 2 seconds. I tested from a few browsers, so maybe you were having some issues with the server at that time? Are you still seeing slowness?

• Google Page Speed is not a good site to test actual issues. Honestly, it’s crap. It’s best to use a site that shows a waterfall such as Gtmetix – https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.spartanlogistica.com/wPmMt292 – which is showing a 5second loading time.

When looking at the waterfall – https://cl.ly/jojG – most of the loading time is being spent loading images and other server assets. The only real way to speed that up is switching to a faster host or setting up a CDN. You could try a free CDN like CloudFlare to see if the assets load quicker (I use Cloudflare on many sites as a CDN).

And actually since it is assets slowing things down removing the version numbers could help…however, it only helps on the second load not on the initial load.

ps: This thread has gotten pretty massive can you please open a new comment for any future questions/comments? Thank you!!

Some more detail…Looks like the theme is using the default post template as it is showing the posts sidebar. I have turned of all sidebars on the theme. Also it is not parsing the custom buttons added to the header via visual composer page, and instead showing the visual composer code. This happens when there is no 404 redirect or anything on the default page. But when there is a 404 redirect to a custom 404 page, then it does shows the 404 page but again header is messed up.

Hi,

Can you please share the URL so I can see how the 404 page is being setup. I am not quite sure I understand the issue. I double checked locally and I didn’t see any issues also we use a custom 404 for our new splash page and it also displays correctly – http://totalwptheme.com/404

Hi, I have email you the zip file; my email id is saurabh250183@gmail.com

Thanks!!

I got the email, I’ll check it out and get back to you here in a bit

I imported the slider and looks like full-screen is disabled in the actual settings – https://cl.ly/jmbY – you just have to enable it

Hi,

• When the browser first loads it doesn’t know the height of your slider so you are seeing the content below it for a brief section. You can go to the slider settings and give it a min-height – https://cl.ly/jj9x – which should keep the row in place until the slider has finished loading to prevent a content flash.

• This error may happen if Envato is down or you are trying to log in with a different username then “powerqueryanalyst”. I just checked and the support system is returning correct info and says you have a valid purchase – https://cl.ly/jjuW – if you are still getting an error you may want to test on a different browser.

Hi AJ, I’ve set the min width to 450px

http://pasteboard.co/OOSkd9UVW.png

After setting it, when the page loads for the first time, text flashes for a fraction of a second.. earlier it was only flashing when the page was refreshed.

Thanks!!

I have submitted a ticket regarding first issue.

Hi, my slide have two slides. See: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c4blb2x29nl9ovg/Schermata%202017-03-24%20alle%2009.02.11.png?dl=0

I have used a another template exported from another site. I can’t to modify the CSS bullets… too. I suppose not working well slider revolution in my site.

Sorry for the delay I had to leave town for a few days. I am looking at your site and the slider is working nicely now! Did you need some extra help with custom bullet styles? If so how do you want them to look?

No problem! Yes, work now, i have export a slider from another website and imported in to this and then modify it. But, i don’t know how if I create a new slider it not work well…

Hi,

Are you referring to the tracking code? https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6331314

This should be added right after the body tag as mentioned in their docs so you’ll want to do this via a child theme – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

I have a snippet example here of how to hook into the theme’s hooks to place your code immediately after the body tag – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/add-google-tag-manager-code/

Hi. I need to place this code on a particular page only. I know the page ID but i am not sure how to add this via the theme panel. Can you plz help?

If it’s for a specific page only then you need to use custom code via a child theme (or maybe there is a plugin you can use). Example snippet for your child theme:

// Add Google Tag Manager Code after opening body tag
add_action( 'wpex_outer_wrap_before', function() {
    if ( is_page( 'PAGE_ID' ) ) { ?>
        YOUR CODE HERE
    <?php }
} );

You can’t do this via the theme panel because it doesn’t accept PHP for security reasons.

- AJ

Hi,

This is usually server related or caused by a conflict by 3rd party plugins. If you have installed any plugins recently I recommend you try disabling them to test and see if any are breaking things. Also I recommend you check out your server error logs to see if there are any errors showing up that can be useful to troubleshooting the issue. Also increasing your memory limit – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/increasing-memory-limit-to-php/ – if it’s too low could fix the issue if it’s a server memory issue.

You are commenting on the Total theme though, I see you are using the Earth theme so please follow up via the Earth theme comments if needed to prevent any confusion, thanks!

Or you can open a private ticket for assistance – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

Hi,

If you are using a child theme I have a snippet you can use to disable the featured image on the Events Calendar plugin – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/disable-tribe-events-post-thumbnail/ – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Otherwise you would have to use CSS to “hide” it but it will still load on the page so it’s not as well optimized as removing it completely.

- AJ

AJ. Can I consult with you, and you help me make this happen? I do not want to mess things up.

Just log into WordPress and go to Theme Panel > Custom CSS and add this:

body.single .tribe-events-event-image { display: none; }

And save, that should do it for ya

Hi,

Any chance you can share the actual URL so I can take a look for you? Thank you!

- AJ

Hi, AJ. Thank you for your reply. I already uninstalled BBPress used another forum plugin.

Hi Linda,

Yes, but it’s fairly tricky, basically you need to set the button to the same height, give the entry a bottom padding equal to the button and then set the button to display absolutely at the bottom.

For your site I would recommend adding this custom CSS:

body .portfolio-entry {
    margin-bottom: 80px;
}

body .portfolio-entry-details {
    background: none;
    border: none;
    padding: 20px 0 54px;
    position: relative;
}

body .portfolio-entry-details .theme-button {
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    height: 34px;
    line-height: 34px;
}

body .portfolio-entry-readmore-wrap {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0px;
    width: 100%;
}

http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

Result: https://cl.ly/jgx3

Although personally I think the buttons aren’y really needed since most people usually click on images.

- AJ

Thank you – that worked

how to set a row height ? and how can i vertical center the element inside the row?

how can i add transition to the custom menu ? i want to have ease effect in the menu and hover background.

Hi,

How can i set the row in a different size?

I’m not sure what you mean…Rows are always 100% as wide as the screen. Columns which are inside rows are different sizes. However there is a max-width setting you can use to limit row widths – https://cl.ly/jgyX

how to set a row height ?

In HTML heights are based on what is added inside it. So your row will be as tall as the tallest content inside the row. However, the row has a “Minimum Height” setting you can use to give it a minimum height in pixels. But also you can use the “Design Options” for your rows to give it a top/bottom padding which is what most people use.

how can i vertical center the element inside the row?

You can use the “Content Position” setting on a row settings and set it to “middle”.

how can i add transition to the custom menu

If you want a custom transition you can do this by adding a little custom CSS – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/ – to your site. But by default the menu already has transition added with CSS3 so I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Hi,

There isn’t a built-in option for this but it wouldn’t be terribly complex. You have 2 options…

1. Add the phone number as the last item on your menu, then you can simply add a little CSS to float this last item to the right side (I can help if you share the URL).

2. You can use the theme action hooks for this. So you can actually go to Theme Panel > Custom Actions and add your HTML for this under the “wpex_hook_main_menu_bottom” action hook. Like this: https://cl.ly/jh9y

Then you can use CSS to position it absolutely where you want it

Because this area isn’t a built-in section and has to be added then you will be able to style the font separately using CSS.

- AJ

Hi, I prefer the simpler first option. The URL is www.burhani.co. Please help me with the CSS. Thanks

2 things…

1. You are using a completely different menu style then the style from the screenshot.

2. You haven’t added the phone number yet so I can’t help with the CSS until you’ve added it.

Based on your request I believe you’d want to switch to header style 2 – https://www.burhani.co/?header_style=two

The only issue is that your phone number would appear before the search icon so you may want to disable that also.

Hi,

You need to define the pixels and color when setting this to make sure it overrides. Example: https://cl.ly/jgzo

- AJ

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Nice to see you again The sliders are loading for me when I check, did you already figure out the issue? If not can you try clearing your browser cache? Everything on your site is cached and without any query strings (like ?v=4.0) so the browser may not know to load the new assets.
