Hi,

The template library is technically a “premium” add-on so it’s not visible unless you purchase a separate license of the plugin. But to be honest it’s horrible, the templates available are really ugly and many have design issues.

I am working on a new custom template library exclusive for total which should be ready early 2018

The support license is ONLY for submitting private tickets you still have full support in the comments, updates and all features included in the theme.

Hi,

Just checking in to find out about the new custom template library for Total that we discussed earlier. Is it intended to be ready soon?

Thanks again TG

Hi,

It’s not ready yet, it’s intended to be released with Total 5.0 along with some other big updates (fonts manager, new advanced menu builder module, new advanced post grid module, etc). I hope to have this ready before April or early April

Hi,

1. If you enter # symbol the theme won’t add any link to the image – https://cl.ly/oWAF – it will skip the link on that image.

2. To add videos for the lightbox use the video setting on the image like this – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/image-videos-attachments/

Hi,

Please have a look at the demo importer guide – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/importing-sample-data/

- AJ

So you want a different category for the single posts and different for the main blog page and all the categories, tags, etc?

For that you would have to use some custom code. First create your custom sidebar under Appearance > Sidebars then add this code to your child theme:

add_filter( 'wpex_get_sidebar', function( $sidebar ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        return 'my_custom_sidebar_id';
    }
    // Return theme defined sidebar area
    else {
        return $sidebar;
    }
} );

Simply change “my_custom_sidebar_id” to the ID of the sidebar you created. Then the Blog sidebar in Total will be used for the archives and the custom one you made would be used for singular posts.

- AJ

Thank you AJ, it works fine, you’re too smart

I just realize that you may be interested to know why I asked this distinction :

It’s because my blog single posts are “tall” enough on the left of the sidebar with a widget of my 15 categories, all visible for a better “promotion”.

But some categories pages have few entries yet, so to avoid a big white space under them, I use on blog archives the smaller “dropdown” version of this widget

Hi Chris,

This is AJ the theme developer. So plugins shouldn’t cause this missing and unfortunately it’s impossible to know by looking at the site. What I can tell you though is there are no errors so it seems like the footer is simply disabled.

Can you try going to Theme Panel > Footer Builder and clicking the save button? (make sure if you are not using the footer builder that the option at the top is set to display widgets)

The only thing I can think of is potentially the site was using a footer builder page and then it was deleted later on causing a bug.

Happy Holidays!

- AJ

Hi AJ,

I like to come back to this one every once in a while, as it has never magically resolved itself

Callout, Footer, and Footer Bottom just stopped appearing at a ‘global’ level at a certain point.

Everything is up to date, core and theme.

Theme Panel > Footer Builder is definitely Saved, and Saved again. (And, yes, I’ve changed the Page it is set to, Saved, and no effect)

What’s more is even when I go to Theme Panel > Footer Builder > (change to) None – Display Widgetized Footer, then Save Changes, then > Customizer … and the Footer Widget customizer option does not even show in the Customizer menu.

Reading other’s comments, the only other thing I saw is changing child theme to ‘import’ the /style-min.css versus /style.css from parent. But, that shouldn’t be it, as when I got to Theme Panel > Minify Javascript (and click to off), and that does not affect anything seemingly.

I have also not done a ‘WP Debug’ per say.

Any other ideas what would force all Footer components to simply not appear at a global level?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

I would really have to log into your site to see what’s going on. You are correct that the style.css changes mentioned in other comments wouldn’t have any affect.

Something is definitely weird here and I can have a look for you and we can get it fixed up.

Now your support has expired so you have 2 options:

1. Renew your support license so you can submit a private ticket with your WP and FTP logins and request it be assigned to me.

2. Provide me with an email address and I will email you directly for this information.

Let me know how you’d like to proceed so we can resolve this issue!

Hi again, please see below link which is the type of local scroll menu effect that i am trying to achieve (its missing the active section menu item highlight, but you get the overall idea)

Hi AJ, Can you plz revert on my query? Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,

Sorry I didn’t see the original question thanks for replying back it moved it into my dashboard so I could see it.

1. Make sure you enabled stretch row (without padding) for the row your menu is in so it touches the edges of the screen.

2. Give your menu a unique classname then you can add the shadow with a little css – https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_box-shadow.asp

3. When you edit the Navigation Bar module you can add more padding or margin between the items under the Link CSS tab – https://cl.ly/oZRV

4. Because you can manually control the design of the menu items it’s impossible for the theme to add a highlight to the active item that magically looks good with whatever custom colors you are using (unless you are using a preset design under the design tab). But the theme does add an active class to the items when they reach the section so you can use CSS to target them.

5. Give your last menu item a unique classname under Appearance > Menu then you can use CSS to style it differently.

And of course you can always use advanced menu plugins like UberMenu if you prefer for this menu section.

Since the Video module is displayed using the WordPress oEmbed function you can’t pass on parameters to it. If you want the video to auto play simply use a standard embed from youtube and add it to the html module. Have a look here – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/insertembed-videos-custom-parameters/

For auto play add &autoplay=1 to the end of the URL in the embed code.

Just note that many browsers are starting to disable auto play videos and audio on websites. In the latest Apple IOS it’s been disabled.

- AJ

P.S.: I do NOT want the little ‘hamburger’ menu to appear or any other element from the mobile view to appear on the desktop version. I want juuuust the body content to behave like it is on tablet view when viewed on desktop—so its sections can stack. So, please note: I want the body to behave like it’s on tablet view by default, when viewed on desktop. But leave the headers and everything else alone when that happens.

AND ONLY for the Checkout page. Nowhere else.

Hi,

Regarding the checkout columns that would be a very easy CSS edit. Simply add this to your site:

.woocommerce .woocommerce-checkout .col2-set .col-1,
.woocommerce .woocommerce-checkout .col2-set .col-2 {
    width: 100% !important;
}

.woocommerce table.shop_table.woocommerce-checkout-review-order-table,
.woocommerce-checkout #payment {
    width: 100% !important;
}

The first part is the columns at the top and the second part is for the review/payment boxes at the bottom.

- AJ

Oh and if you aren’t sure this is the guide for adding CSS to the site: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/

Hi,

1. You can remove these via Appearance > Customize > Sidebar > Widget Icons

2. You can do this with CSS like this:

body.single-post #main { padding-top: 40px; }

3. Unfortunately I don’t at the moment, most the developers I know do their own custom work (full sites) and they don’t do freelancing for small tweaks.

If you find someone though make sure to send them over here:

• https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/use-filters-wordpress/
• https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/action-hooks/
• http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/

these are all good resources for them.

Hi Mohammed,

Do you want this at the bottom of every page or just a single page?

If you are using the page builder you can just add a row with 3 columns and insert the person’s picture in the middle column and the text in the other two. That’s how it looks like they did it in the screenshot (if you share the actual URL I can tell you though exactly how it’s done).

- AJ

Hey, I wanted different call-outs for different product pages. I guess i could create a row and insert the image. How does one get the image to protrude out of the top of the row (eg: in this case, the lady’s head is a little out of the top of the row)

The link is : http://www.sherweb.com/cloud/veeam-cloud-connect/#how-to-buy

The quickest way is using a negative margin – https://cl.ly/oTam – just make sure to test responsively. You may need to add a spacing module above the image that is visible for mobile only which is the same height as the negative margin so that the picture doesn’t run into the text above it. Or make sure there is a bottom padding on the text in the left column.

Can you share a live example? The theme only targets buttons and elements with the button class. It sounds like Gravity Forms just uses standard links for the next and previous. If you want them displayed as buttons the best thing would be to ask the plugin developers how you can add the button (or theme-button) class to the next/previous links. This way whenever you make changes to the buttons on your site it will target these automatically instead of just using custom CSS and having to manually update it.

There it is : https://unicpnl.org/blogue-pnl/

Ok…I just discovered that a colleague who’s also administrator installed a plugin called “Post in page”. Miscommunication inside the team. Thanks!

Hi,

The image caption should be centered by default when adding images in the editor – https://cl.ly/oTfv

It’s also centered by default for the Single Image – https://cl.ly/oUOq

So I’m not sure what you mean, can you explain or share a live example? Thanks!

- Aj

— ps: I noticed your support license has expired, if at this time you can renew your support license I would really appreciate it. You can also purchase a new copy of the theme for another site/client and it will also renew your support for free

I’m talking about the “image” element: I want to use images with a title in the middle of the image (not middle UNDER the image, I mean centered in the middle of the image) to have also a hover effect from grey to color when passing the mouse on it. Right now I’m using a temporary solution with heading elements, but those doesn’t have hover effects. Looking forward for a help, thank you!

Can you show me what you are doing now? Maybe a screenshot. This way I can see exactly what you are doing and give you the best solution.

Thanks & happy Holidays!

- AJ

Yes, have a look here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li2z_tVUqy4

This functionality isn’t built-in but can be done with some custom javascript. I wrote a snippet for you so you can see how you can achieve that pretty easily (for any theme basically) : https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/sticky-header-scroll/

- AJ

thank you so much AJ!

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I will post you a ticket with access to the site. Thanks in advance!

Update: after the latest theme update everything is OK.

Great, I’m glad the update fixed it!

Hi there,

Happy Holidays! Sorry for the delayed response. I can help you with the CSS to alter the accordion. Can you share the URL so I can see what you have and this way I can provide you with the CSS code to add to your site

- AJ

Hi AJ thank you so much for your support! You are really really great! And happy holidays.

The url is:

Is just the first things you find there “SCHEDULE AND PRICES”. I would like to put into accordion sections every part I have described there: MILONGAS, CLASES, PACKS DESCUENTO. Every title of the accordion, I would like to be like the text separator.

Hi,

This could be a bit tricky with the accordion. But if you setup a child theme – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

You can use CSS to hide the sections and then javascript to turn the titles into toggles. It’s pretty easy code which I can give you!

All you need to do is setup the child theme then give your items a unique classname that I can use for the custom javascript.

I highly recommend because you have multiple rows to use “Sections” it will make it much easier.

See this video: https://cl.ly/oZhx

So you would add “my-toggle-heading” to the heading and then “my-toggle-row” to the rows inside that section. This way I can write some custom javascript for you to show/hide the sections

You can use any names you want “my-toggle-heading” and “my-toggle-row” are just examples..But make sure they are unique.

Since your page already has a lot of content. I would recommend doing this in the backend editor and not the front-end. Simply add a new section and hen move your elements inside it. This way your headings and content that you want to hide are all inside their own sections.

Make sense?

- AJ

Hi,

Great, I’m glad you like it!

So what you are seeing is the background loading before the video. I see you are using revolution slider for this. So basically you want to hide the background layer on desktop so it doesn’t show at all.

I don’t see the “unwanted repeating” that you mention though, I only see the background image loading and then the video.

If you want to export your slider and send it my way I can load it on my localhost and see what you did exactly and tweak it to hide the background when not needed and send it back.

- AJ

Oh and you mention lastly regarding my “tip” I think you are referring to one where I was mentioning the row video backgrounds in the page builder, not videos when using the Revolution Slider so the code would be quite different for that.

Hi,

Can you share an example? it should be working just fine. Example: https://cl.ly/oTzb

By the way, depending what you want to show you can always create your own custom overlays – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/create-new-overlay-styles/

- AJ

Hi AJ,

Thank you for your response,

I didn’t get it to work with the standard staff grid overlay settings. It just shows the image and doesn’t show the overlay. I removed it this afternoon but I just placed it back temporarily on the website for the example (staging.realconcepts.nl). I placed the staff grid just above the footer.

In the meantime I learned about the WPBakery Grid builder and created a new overlay. Funny how you learn the most from mistakes and a bit of research.

So I guess the problem is solved with a workaround .

If you do find out why the overlay didn’t show up, I’d love to hear what I’ve been doing wrong.
