Hi, I want to add ads between blog grid posts. Is it possible? For example span_1_4:nth-child(5):before { content: ”” } but it doesnt support shortcode. Have you any suggestion?

OK, no problem. I am waiting.

I found the bug! Thank you so much for reporting the issue. I added a fix for the upcoming update which I will release this week. I manually fixed your site in the meantime – https://amic.muradov.ml/saa/page/2/

Thank you again for reporting the bug and giving me access! Very helpful ;)

No at all, thanks to you for amazing support and care :)

Hi, the Typekit Plugin isn’t working with your theme. Is there anything I have to de to make it work?

Hi,

Which plugin exactly are you using? There are a few out there (some with known issues). A lot of customers are using Typekit successfully on the site. It’s possible the plugin you are using has an error. Basically for Typekit all you need to do is have the Typekit code inserted to the header of the site and then you need to target your site with Custom CSS to apply the fonts. None of these functions would conflict with any theme because hooking into the head element is a WordPress related hook outside the scope of the theme and same thing with adding custom CSS.

If you let me know what plugin you are using and what exact error you have I’ll download it and check out out locally.

Now, if the issue is simply that you don’t see the fonts on the live site can you please share the URL so I can verify? And remember to clear any site/browser cache whenever you are loading new fonts because your site or the browser could just be caching the old fonts.

Hi AJ, thanks for your detailed answer. It already works.

Heve a great start in the week! Simon

Oh great, I’m glad you got it working Simon!

Have a nice week as well ;) If you need anything else just let me know.

Can I move the main menu to the left, vert aligned with the top bar Phone?

Which header style are you currently using? https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/header-styles/

I’m not quite sure what you want to do, do you want to move your logo to the right and the menu to the left? If you have a mockup that would be very helpful, 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. A support renewal is around $41 so if instead you purchase a new license of the theme you essentially will get a new license for only $17 to use on another site and a support renewal. If financially you can’t at this time I understand but would really appreciate it since I spend a lot of time and money supporting and updating the product – thank you!

Hello! I have pre-sale question: Could I ever (and how is hard) made portfolio post and single product (woocommerce) layouts looks as like in Kalium and Shopkeeper themes? (take a look please). I badly interested in that custom (not common) layouts..(sticky description side and scrollable pictures side).. and what is possibilities to customize layouts and design elements in details (arrows, borders, tabs, buttons, etc..), hide/view, position, hovers – in woocommerce shop and single product pages..You theme looks great… but WooCommerce design and layouts so poor and common (in demos)...only color or font switching is not enough to make great store with “fashion magazine…vogue – feeling”..Sorry for bad english.

Hi there,

The Total theme is primarily focused as a business/corporate theme and the WooCommerce shop is not highly modified because it breaks a lot of WooCommerce add-on plugins. Some themes customize WooCommerce a lot so it looks better, but then a lot of add-on plugins break. I prefer to allow support for ANY WooCommerce plugin to work with the theme so that freelancers/developers can still make any tweaks they won’t without worrying about manually tweaking files or removing built-in theme functions.

You could enable a sticky gallery and description via a child theme doing some advanced modifications, but it’s not an option built-into the theme. If that is something you really want and don’t know how to do yourself then you may want to purchase the theme that already suits your needs.

My post at https://gauravtiwari.org/free-online-calculus-text-books/ has two comments but it shows “zero”. I am unable to find the reason.

Hi,

The comment number comes directly from WordPress via this code:

number_format_i18n( get_comments_number() )

So the issue isn’t theme related but I can help troubleshoot the issue so maybe we can track it down…

  • Were the comments added manually or via a 3rd party script?
  • If you add a new comment does it update the number at all?
  • Is there anything different about this page or how the page was created compared to other ones?
  • Are you using any sort of translation plugins on the site that are breaking things (because the number is being translated into the proper locale).

You may just have to try deleting and re-adding these comments as it could be an issue in the database with how the comments were initially saved.

- AJ

Added a new comment and comment count updated to 3, as required. Other posts have such error as well. To answer your questions:

Were the comments added manually or via a 3rd party script? Manually. But then the site was hosted with wordpress.com. I moved in 2012 to self-host. That may be a problem, somehow!

If you add a new comment does it update the number at all? Yes. It updates the number.

Is there anything different about this page or how the page was created compared to other ones? WordPress.com!!! But other posts, even older ones have the comment count right – like https://gauravtiwari.org/ecndf/ has proper count since it was published.

Are you using any sort of translation plugins on the site that are breaking things (because the number is being translated into the proper locale). Nope.

Definitely sounds like a bug from the WordPress.com transfer since it’s actually very different. It’s possible a plugin like this could help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/update-comments-count/

But I haven’t personally tested it since I’ve never seen the issue before.

Hi. I have purchased the Total WordPress theme. However, the featured image on every page (not post) appears at the bottom. How not to show the featured images on every page of my website?

Hi,

This means it’s been enabled in the page layout. Please check under Appearance > Customize > General Theme Options > Pages

And make sure the “Media” is disabled like this – https://cl.ly/p8M1

- AJ

Hello is your theme can support this kind of plugin ? Modern event calendar https://codecanyon.net/item/modern-events-calendar-responsive-event-scheduler-booking-for-wordpress/17731780 ??? thank you

Hi,

The theme should support ANY plugin that is properly coded. You shouldn’t have any issues and if you do just ask the plugin developer for some help so they can fix things up.

And there shouldn’t be any conflict with the theme but if you do find a theme related issue just let me know and I will fix it ;)

- AJ

Where can I edit my logo? I can’t seem to find it :(

Hi,

This is done under Appearance > Customize > Header > Logo.

More info on the docs here: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/custom-logo/

Hi there – for Portfolio items, is there a way to have a filter selected on a page using a URL?

Example: On an art page, I have many categories (paintings, graphic design, etc), but I want to send a client a link that has one of the Nav Menu queries already selected. So the url would maybe look like this: website.com/art/#paintings That would open up the same art page, but automatically have paintings filtered.

Hi AJ – I ran the update. I tried to PM you but got an auto-response. How can I go about accomplishing the URL filters?

Hi,

Correct we only provide private support via our submission page – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

There is WAY too much spam and non-buyers trying to contact us via the PM function on ThemeForest which makes providing actual support to real customers very difficult, so we setup a unique site to handle all requests where we can verify if you are a real customer and have an active support license.

In terms of the filter links all you need to do is target their classname in the menu which should look something like site.com?filter=cat-2

If you don’t know how to locate those send me a URL to the site and I’ll show you how based on your site setup.

- AJ

Thank you! That worked!

Hi, I am using the theme now for one website. I would like to use this theme too for my other two websites. Do I need two purchase 2 extra licenses then?

If the websites are subdomains or if it’s a multi-site no. But if they are new URL’s then yes. More info here: https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard

Hi, I want that when VC tab is active, when I click active button, It will become close.

$(”.vc_tta-panels”).on(“click”, ”.vc_active”, function() { $(this).removeClass(“vc_active”); });
I use this js code but doesnt work.
in other method I use Fag toggle addon for it. But I have more toggles and when I open one toggle, another toggles close automatic.

What do you suggest me for it or solution?

Hi,

Thank you for your patience over the weekend. You can do it like this:

( function( $ ) {
    'use strict';
    $( document ).on( 'click', '.vc_tta-tab.vc_active', function() {
        $( this ).removeClass( 'vc_active' );
        $( this ).parents( '.vc_tta' ).find( '.vc_tta-panel.vc_active' ).removeClass( 'vc_active' );
    } );
} ) ( jQuery );

The problem is it will require a double click to switch tabs and it will be a bit glitchy – https://cl.ly/p8NI – because there is already a click event being added to the tabs.

Unless you completely remove the default javascript from the page builder plugin. It might be better to look for a 3rd party tabs addon plugin that already works like this perhaps. Or instead using FAQ/toggle modules added in columns (that may work, I’m not quite sure what your design is like).

Hi, I try to install so many time the theme but always appear “try again”

Hi,

What you want to do then is create a new page that only has the slider and then under Settings > Reading set that as the homepage. Right now your homepage has a lot of different custom content.

Ex: https://cl.ly/px8J

Hi AJ,

Why the menu “toggle” styles for tables (landscape) available

You can use the menu breakpoint and choose the width at which you want the standard menu to become the mobile menu if you want – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/alter-mobile-menu-breakpoint/

Hi… Is there any reason ‘portfolio’ would not appear in the left in the dashboard. I’m not seeing it ?

Hey Chris!

Yes, if it’s disabled under the main “Theme Panel”.

Hello A.J.,

It looks like there is a problem with Blockquote since the last update. Before, we could have paragraphs in a blockquote text (see our frontpage for example at orchango.com). As you can see, the old blockquotes are displayed fine. But if we insert a new blockquote, the first paragraph is displayed with the proper blockquote font / tabulation… but the remaining paragraphs in the quote are displayed with another font / tabulation. And if we update the text in one of our existing quotes (which displays fine before editing), then the same problem occurs.

Any clue?

Ed.

Yes this is very clear now, thanks!

I actually did a couple more tests adding a new line and nothing happened. Then I tested adding a line and editing the content inside the quote and yep, the bug happened.

Definitely a WPBakery page builder bug it seems but in the backend only when using the text block module.

I will open a ticket with the page builder. It’s nearly impossible for me to troubleshoot because the page builder scripts are all minified.

However, what I would recommend for better consistency and easier updates is to simple use a custom class like this: https://cl.ly/p5Eo

And remove the blockquote from the inline text editor.

Then add a little CSS to style them:

.client-blockquote {
    background: url(your-site.com/wp-content/themes/Total/assets/images/quote.png) left 4px no-repeat;
    padding-left: 55px;
    margin: 30px 0;
    font-size: 1.231em;
    color: #ababab;
}

This way you can control your custom blockquotes globally via CSS and if you ever want to change he way they look, the font size, etc it’s very quick by modifying your css. And the actual editor will just need to have your text in it and the image. In fact you could even align the image and give it extra spacing or whatever if you want with the added class.

- AJ

Glad you were able to reproduce it AJ. Thx so much for your help and recommendations. That’s VERY useful, as always!!

I’ve already submitted a ticket to WPBakery and they mentioned that they will be releasing an update in February so they should be adding the fix for this including some other improvements/fixes to the plugin.

You are very welcome!

Hi AJ, I just want to warn you about a little problem I found on the descriptions of the products put into the cart. As you can see in the attached screenshot the hovering background color is the same I have chosen in the customizer, but in this case I’d like the green JUST for the characters, while I would like the background to remain white.

https://www.robertorizzoart.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/screensh.jpg

Are you planning to insert in the next updates a way to customize these link colors?

Thank you very much, I wish you a wonderful 2018,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Sorry about this, the issue has already been fixed for the next update. Here is the file if you want to update under Total/framework/classes/—https://cl.ly/p4xV

I am planning to release an update this weekend ;)

I hope you have an awesome 2018 also!

- AJ

I have been running into this issue… The WPBakery Page Builder ‘Role Manager’ does not keep it’s settings.. so ie: if I have the page builder working on ‘posts’ it will stop showing up unless I reset the ‘Post types’. It would be great to set this ‘once’ and lock it. If anyone has a good solution for this please contact me. Even if it is a ‘function’ level fix. Thanks !! ~ I really love Total..#1 theme ;)

Hi AJ yes.. I am a Total theme devotee ;) so I keep up with all the updates. Nothing fancy {multi sites} going on other than using a child theme.. and I occasionally change the custom post types names..like Portfolio to Projects etc. I did see someone else asking about this on WPBakery this morning.. so I have made sure to contact them.. to see if they fond out anything. Sorry to trouble you with this ‘nit’..

So you don’t have any other 3rd party plugins active?

Renaming post types wouldn’t matter because you are just changing the labels not the actual name in the database.

User Roles in WordPress are very much “hard-coded” so they aren’t very easy to change definitely sounds like some 3rd party aspect is modifying the user roles on your site dynamically.

- AJ

Right on.. It must be some other plugin. Like ‘Jetpack’ that I add to all the sites..that I forget might be causing the issue. I just teach people about fixing it when they see it.. ;) some days I wake up and say today is the day I am going to figure this out. Keep up the great work.. ~ jD

Hello AJ,

With Post Terms module, Is there a way to show only the 1st term ? (sorted alphabetically, either category or tag)

Thanks in advance,

Michel

Hi Michel,

No there isn’t a way currently. But it’s a good option to add. I’m not sure if you use WordPress SEO by yoast but the plugin has the ability to select a “Featured” term for each post.

I added an option to the module, I will be pushing out a smaller update hopefully very soon: https://cl.ly/p531

For the mean time you can use CSS via :nth-child to set every item to display none and then set the first item to display block. In other words hide each term except the first one via CSS.

- AJ

Hello AJ,

Thank you indeed for your tips.

I could make it work with css until the future update :grin:

Michel

I’m new to wordpress and looking at a site which from the CSS file uses the Total Version: 3.3.1 Description: Premium WordPress theme by WPExplorer

however, having looked around the theme and customisation, i cannot see how to change the images across the pages , with a scrolling text

any support sites or videos on how to use this them would be good but i would like to change the main image across the home page

ok, i have just searched the email address , and have found the correspondence regarding themes and the one they finally purchased – BUT as suspected and confirmed , the theme and various other products were purchased by the web creator and added to the invoice – $59 – around 19/10/2015

Hi,

If you are unable to log into the original email you can always purchase the theme to access support. $59 is a very low cost even for just asking a few questions, any freelance developer would charge more than that just for their time.

In the meantime if you do want to share the URL I can at least guide you in the right direction for altering whatever image you want to change on the homepage.

But because you mentioned the theme is on a very old version I would highly recommend also downloading and updating to the latest version so you aren’t missing out on a bunch of fixes and improvements – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

- AJ

After installing, I have a notice message at the top of my dashboard that says, “This theme recommends the following plugin: Templatera.” I thought it was supposed to be automatically installed with the theme package? I don’t see any way of installing it separately. How do I obtain and install this plugin? Thanks!

Hi,

The plugins included with the theme aren’t auto installed because they are all optional. The theme will work without any of the included plugins and some customers prefer not to use them (some customers use other builders like Elementor or Beaver with the Total theme instead of the bundled WPBakery Page Builder).

The same notice you are looking at should have a link that you can click to go install it: https://cl.ly/p5PC – do you not see the link for some reason on your installation?

Also you can always go to Appearance > Install Plugins to install or update any of the bundled plugins.

More info in the docs here: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/installing-recommended-plugins/
