How do you setup the Favicon?

Answered in email.

Hi.

There is this error that is generating all the time and causes high load CPU.
AH00524: Handler for fastcgi-script returned invalid result code 32, referer: https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1490953846.6049981117248535156250

The website is SSL enabled.

I checked the database and there are created a lot of entries in wp_options table (relative to cache?) with http:// and not https://

values found:

transient_st_related_postspostnumber

transient_stcategoryname

As a result there are a lot of unnecessary redirections that may causing the error above…

Hi, we have been looking into this and we don’t think the errors have nothing to do with the theme or stkit actually.

You can install a wp cronjob manager plugin (plenty of them on wp.org repository) if you want to run wp cronjobs on demand.

You can also check installed plugins one by one to see which ones are using cronjobs to find out which one is causing the CPU load.

Regards, Luis.

I see. I’ll try disabling plugins one by one

Wordfence found this:

Hi, ignore it, it’s just an image. Nothing to worry about. :)

OK thanks for letting me know

How do I activate “most viewed” right above the footer. On my site it is deactivated.

Hi,

Just wondering if the sport template allows my visitors to download images from a gallery I post, or if I have to install a specific plugin for this?

Thanks,

Hi, if you want to allow the users to download files you better pack in a zip file all images used in that specific gallery and place it somewhere on the post so they can click it to download.

Regards, Luis.

There is a bug in your code:

FastCGI: server stderr: PHP message: PHP Notice:  Undefined index: position in /wp-content/plugins/stkit/components/metaboxes/functions/metabox-sidebar.php on line 128, referer: /wp-admin/edit.php

This is generating every time editing a post…

Hi, we are looking into this. We will post again later when we determine if there is a bug or not.

Regards, Luis.

Hi again, we fixed the problem and an update is coming up in the next days. Thanks for reporting the error.

Regards, Luis.

Thank you

How do I add the social sharing buttons so they appear like your News demo at the bottom of a post?

In the news demo they appear as black squares above the previous/next.

You have to add a widget like this: https://cl.ly/3a0d433m3n33

Regards, Luis.

When I walked through the steps of “HOW TO BUILD A SITE FROM SCRATCH LIKE ON LIVE PREVIEW”, I did not end up with a site like your demo.

Many steps are missing. It is incomplete.

When I do what you did above, I get this: http://prnt.sc/eq0ucj

.

That is not what the demo site looks like http://prntscr.com/eq0we4

Please send me an email with your WP login details and I’ll set it up the site for you like the demo. support[at]strictthemes.com

Regards, Luis.

I just got your theme and I am trying to setup my first site like your News Demo.

How do I do Ad spots? I want to do exactly what I see in the demo.

How do I activate ADS Pro? It is asking for a purchase code.

Where are the ad spaces defined?

Do you mean, all the features work because it is bundled? That it does not need a code? That the only feature disabled are the updates which are done only through the theme updates?

Can you clarify? Can that be added to the documentation if that is true.

Hi again, we have a private agreement with Ads Pro creator to include the plugin in our theme. That means, all our customers get full functionality but the updates are released via theme update. The only way to get a purchase code to get direct updates from the author is to buy the plugin separately.

Regards, Luis.

OK, that needs to be stated in the documentation, in the demo setup or the FAQ.

When installing the plugin, a user is asked for a code with no guidance.

Hi Strict Themes, I am trying to exclude posts with certain categories from displaying on the front page. I notice that someone else had the same question some time ago: https://themeforest.net/comments/11535177. How do I do this, please?

Hi, from the theme panel you can set it to hide sticky posts (show on the slider) from the blogroll. See: https://cl.ly/3x3z0p0v0b0J

If you want to just hide specific categories from being shown on the front page regardless they are sticky or not you will need to specify that in the loop used for the front page (some coding required).

Regards, Luis.

Hi there, I built one site with your Shockmag Theme and it is impossible for me to setup the slider with the sticky posts.

I have followed all the steps in the documentation page and I just see the arrows on side but there is no posts, and all is black. I would like to have the slider like in here: http://strictthemes.com/shockmag-3/

You can check in http://theplaylist.es/

This is very important as this was one of the main reasons to buy the theme. Let me know if you need our purchase code and I will send you.

Hi, did you manage to fix it? because I can see the slider https://cl.ly/0j3P0e0m1y43

Regards, Luis.

Hi Strict Themes, Beautiful theme, love the features! I’m trying to include a section on the static homepage that also displays the most recent WooCommerce products, below the post excerpt boxes. I know I can add it as a widget in the sidebar, but I want to display it as part of the main page content. I checked out the documentation on widgets and shortcodes extensively but I couldn’t find anything that exactly solves this issue. Is there any way to do this?

Hi, I don’t quite understand where are you trying to add it but I can tell you that the only widgetized areas shown on the frontpage are the Ad Spots, Search and Footer ones. The other way is to add a Sidebar and place it there, but you know that.

The hard way would be to create another sidebar a place it wherever you want it but that would require some coding skills.

Regards, Luis.

Hi, I have a really big problem now.

I started to deactivate plugins to determine another problem, and I also updated 13 plugins. After updating the plugins I noticed that when I try and post a new post, the Format options have disappeared http://imgur.com/a/Za5is and the slug automatically says “test-gallery”, even though the show format options is checked in the screen options http://imgur.com/a/FqzhQ. Also the option to make the post a sticky has disappeared http://imgur.com/a/qmHsb. I reactivated the plugins I previously deactivated. But nothing has changed. Also when I do post and check hide breadcrumbs, enable zoom, and change author and publish- when I revisit that post to edit, it has reverted to previous set-up. Before I go and get confused with deactivating plugins, is there anything you can see that is not right?

Thanks,

And the options for bread crumbs, zoom enable have disappeared as well.

Be sure to not have ST Kit deactivated, it’s the one in charge to showing these options.

Let me know.

Regards, Luis.

Ok thanks. The features have appeared again without me doing anything.

I just changed the categories for the sticky posts slider on sportsmag, and now the slider is not working.

I’ve double checked that the category slugs have been typed correctly and I’ve cleared browser cache.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Hi, have you tried to put them back as before? Does it work? Do you have enough sticky posts to fill the slider?

Please let me know.

Regards, Luis.

Ah yes, not enough stickies. Thanks!

Video posts not working.

Hi, I’m trying to add a video post but when I past the YouTube code into the Embedded Video section and preview the post, all I see is the code. I’ve tried pasting the YT share code, full URL and embed code. Neither works. URL sample: http://pittalkasia.com/lester-tests-porsche-for-japanese-super-gt-series/

Also is there a way to move the video underneath the ad banner?

Thanks, Ben

I just noticed that when I paste the Youtube embed code into the field http://imgur.com/a/j8jk1 after I update the page, the code changes http://imgur.com/a/KnzGr This is why the URL shows and not the video. Even when I paste the embed code into the post itself, after updating the page it reverts to showing just the URL link. Is this a bug?

Hi, the only thing I can think about is that there is a plugin filtering the text when you save it.

To find it out try to deactivate all the plugins but the required for the theme and perform the operation again.

Let me know the result. If it works then start activating the plugins one by one and changing the embed code between activations to see which one is conflicting.

Regards, Luis.

Ok thanks I will try that.

Greetings I have problem with performing SLIDER ON FRONTPAGE AS ON LIVE PREVIEW Sticky posts already followed the steps that mention in the link http://strictthemes.com/shockmag/how-to-set-a-slider-on-frontpage-as-on-live-preview/

Hi, I’m sorry to inform you that your support period has expired but you can extend it by following the link on the top right of this page to keep getting assistance. (http://take.ms/Tr5gu)

What are you getting then? Can you please provide more details? It’s very difficult for us to tell you what to do if you don’t tell us what you get or what you did.

Regards, Luis.

hey guys, I am trying to set my page just like the shockmag that you show on the live demos, but every time I set the Front Page template at the “Page Attributes” it keeps showing post that i have already delete in the blogroll. But when I set any other template for the page attributes it works fine. What can I do?

Hi, try to create a new page, name it and set the template like this: http://take.ms/qi7gP the go to Settings->Reading and set your newly created page as the fron page: http://take.ms/H6IWi

Regards, Luis.

Hello,

I’m having major problems with Custom CSS.

The first piece of code to change the style of a widget I pasted into Theme Panel>Style>Custom, it worked. But when I tried to make changes to the colour code and refresh, the changes didn’t appear.

I deleted the code from Theme Panel Custom and pasted it into the Additional CSS in Customize. But when I click Save & Publish it doesn’t save.

So I pasted back into the Theme Panel Custom, and the code doesn;t work at all now.

I have cleared browser cache and it still doesn’t work. How can this be fixed?

This is the code I am pasting: .sidebar > .widget_authors > ul > li > a { color: white; }

/* Style the author’s posts. / .sidebar .widget_authors ul li ul li a { / Change the color. / color: white; }

/ Remove bullet points from author’s posts. / .sidebar .widget_authors ul li ul { list-style-type: none; }

/ Alternative colors for each author. / .sidebar > .widget_authors > ul > li:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #ff0000; } .sidebar > .widget_authors > ul > li:nth-child(even) { background-color: #ff5252; }

/ Move the text to the right. */ .sidebar > .widget_authors > ul > li { height: 120px; padding: 10px 10px 0 0; } .sidebar .widget_authors ul li a img { float: left; width: 106px; margin: 0 10px; height: 106px; }

Thanks

Hi, I can see that your custom css is being applied: http://take.ms/fsbzs , first of all you have to identify which part is not working, then we can focus on it.

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

What about android and ios icons?

If you can’t add them what library did you use in the theme?

Hi, do you mean favicon and so? You have plenty of plugins to do that ( e.g.: https://wordpress.org/plugins/favicon-by-realfavicongenerator/ ) in case you don’t want to write code.

Regards, Luis.

Thanks for responding

No. i mean icons like social and other icons(icon-Facebook, icon-RSS etc) but for android and ios.

Hi, if you go to Theme Panel->Layout->Header, at the bottom you will find the instructions to add your own icons. http://take.ms/bu9i1

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

Is there a way I can customise a specific widget list different to the other widgets? I would like to change the style of the widget titled “Latest Features” as seen here: http://pittalkasia.com/author-widget-test. Changes to:
  • Authors name style
  • Removal of bullet point at post title
  • background colours/opacity of each author

Thanks

Go to “Theme Panel -> Style -> Custom”, this is where you put your own theme customisation rules.

I know where to paste the custom CSS code, but I don’t know what the code is. Support usually gives me the code. But don;t worry I got someone else to do it.

Hi, please understand that our support service focuses on fixing bugs and make improvements for better compatibility with our themes and plugins, we never mention that all the customisation will be driven by the support team.

Please see: http://take.ms/nEvQG

We try to help everyone as much as we can, and in your case I personally logged in your site and set it up the theme for you like the demo but keeping your existing data without any extra charge (even knowing that we have a special service for these kind of tasks http://strictthemes.com/services/), so please be nice to us and we’ll do the same to you.

Regards, Luis.

Hi,

Looking at the Events widget on my website there seems to be a bullet point top left of the image, and a comma before the date as you can see on this screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/lcvf3

How can I remove this bullet point and comma, and decrease the gap between top of the image and widget title?

Thanks

It’s the event calendar that came with this theme. The CSS is not working.

I added this to the Custom CSS section but it’s not working.

Try this one: #upcoming-events-b796cb05cdbcca9fd4c5173ea5a92714 { list-style:none; }
