I set up a mobile landing page http://galmedpharma.com/mobile-home450/ but I cannot seem to center the news and stock box in the middle of the row. Any suggestions?

I tried adding css – but it did not center. I made the box position relative now and tried a whole bunch of options but nothing worked. Any suggestions?

You need to center both the image and the blocks. Example: https://cl.ly/q79d

It’s impossible to center your blocks on the image when the image is left aligned inside a full-screen row and your blocks are also left aligned.

So you just need to add margin: 0 auto; to your custom blocks and then select to align the single image module to the center.

By the way…Total has it’s own “Image” module which is a bit more optimized and slimmer then the default WPBakery one.

changed to the total image module and implemented your changes. It worked like a charm. Thanks again for your amazing support.

Hi, how can I increase the distance between logo and menu? Please see the screenshot http://bit.ly/2FxnglM . The logo should be more on the left side. I can not find any settings in the customizer.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You could increase the width of your site or enable the full-width header:

However, because you have so many items in the menu and the menu is very large it may be best to either slim down the menu to make it smaller or use a different header such as header style 3 – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/header-styles/ – this way you won’t have issues responsively.

How do I change the image size for woocomemrce images and thumbnails – I can’t see that setting in the customizer??

Hi,

All image size settings can be found at Theme Panel > Image Sizes. More info in the docs here: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/define-your-image-sizes/

Hi – RE Social Sharing Module – Twitter 2x – no FB – thanks for your response – I am sorry I didn’t log in before sending – I have purchased TOTAL THEME already. Re: removing the Sharing Module and Re-Installing the Module to fix the issue – May I please have the instructions for safely removing and re-installing the Sharing Module? [ NOT Fixed 3-6-2018 – The bugs with the social share module (double tweet and missing facebook) have been fixed for upcoming Total 4.6 which I intend on releasing today. Sorry for the troubles! ]

Hi,

Thanks for logging into the correct account.

What I mean is to remove the sharing module from your page wherever you added it with the page builder and re-insert it.

Of course you need to make sure first you have updated your theme to version 4.6 first – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

Hi AJ, Did something happen to the redirect field? I’ve always redirect from several pages and it’s not coming up on mobile:

ie: www.sleepbabylove.com/consult (should redirect to my services page)

Nothing has changed to the redirection field for over a year. This page is not redirecting on desktop or mobile, have you double checked the page settings? Any child theme edits that could be breaking things?

- AJ

I don’t have a child theme! (Although I should). It works now – so wouldn’t that inconsistency possibly have to do with the theme itself?

Hi,

If it’s working now, then it sounds like a caching issue. It’s impossible for the function to “all of the sudden” start working, if you are using a CDN like CloudFlare be sure to clear it or if you are using a caching plugin or server cache be sure to clear it whenever making any changes to a page or your site.

Hi AJ,

Breadcrumbs have stopped working after updating Yoast’s SEO plugin to version 7.0.1. It only shows Home > Last child not Home > Parent > Last Child. It works fine if I deactivate the SEO plugin. Will this be fixed in the next update along with the latest version of WPBakery (V 5.4.6)? Do you have an ETA?

Thanks

Hi,

  • Since Total can’t break the Yoast breadcrumbs like this, I had a look through the plugin code and it’s definitely a bug with Yoast. I will report the issue on the Github repo right now.
  • The updated WPBakery came out just a few hours ago, once it’s been fully tested I will release the updated version with the theme. I don’t like to send over the updated plugin until I’ve made sure there aren’t any issues ;)

- AJ

AJ,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply and the update. I read the fix for Yoast. I’ll just wait on both updates.

hi AJ ! I have a question about breadcrumbs.. I have a website with few pages and a blog page named “News”, i created blog categories. My problem is my single blog page breadcrumb shows home >News>Blog category>my blog page. I would like to quit “Blog category” from my breadcrumb. I’ve found your snippet for portfolio pages but i don’t know how to adapt it with blog pages.. I’ve tried with if ( is_singular( ‘blog’ ) ) etc.. but it does not work… :( Thanks for your help !

Sorry i’ve just found the solution… My error was that i selected my news page as a post page within customizing/posts page and customizing/blog /general/main page. I quit it and modify my news page attributes template as blog. And now it’s work fine !!!

hey guys,

we need to update the rev’ slider which obviously comes with the theme, how do we update this??

many thanks

Hi,

All plugin updates are provided via the theme, so to update all you have to do is update your theme and you’ll see a notice to update the plugin. Please see the docs here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

Of course you can also purchase your own singular license of the plugin which is only $25 to get built-in auto updates and the added premium features of the plugin if you want.

If you have any issues with the updates let me know.

- AJ

Hi AJ We have updated the theme – but the slider revolution issue is still occurring .

We have been experiencing an issue with our sliders where they stutter / judder on load . Note we have tested and don’t get the issue when say twentyseventeen theme is used

Slider revolution suggested that we update the theme / plugin

Please can you offer help KR Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your patience. Are you able to share the URL so I can have a look. The Total theme doesn’t make any alterations to the slider so it should work the same no matter what theme you use. I’m not sure what you mean by “shutter/judder” so if you can share the URL for me to look it would be very helpful.

Did you already update the theme and plugin? I send the links on how to update earlier: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

If you have any troubles updating please let me know.

- AJ

NOT Fixed 3-6-2018 – The bugs with the social share module (double tweet and missing facebook) have been fixed for upcoming Total 4.6 which I intend on releasing today. Sorry for the troubles!

Hi,

The issue has been fixed. If it’s not working for you, make sure your theme is updated correctly and you will need to remove and re-add the module so it can save the settings correctly.

- AJ

ps: Please log in with the correct account used to purchase the theme or please purchase the theme if you haven’t yet. Support is for verified customers only. Thanks!

Hello WP Explorer,

Quick question, How would I get the “vcex_heading” module to output the “wpex_page_header_title_meta_override”.

I used the callback function, custom field and Post Title options in the module but for some reason I can’t get it to return conditionally like the page header does.

So the dynamic heading would function like, if meta is set in page settings, use meta value, else, use native post/page title.

Please advise.

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up. When choosing the Post Title option for the heading it should display the custom title if one is defined. I updated this file – https://cl.ly/q0ZT – if you replace via FTP at wp-content/themes/Total/framework/helpers/ – it should fix the issue.

Let me know if you have any issues and of course this tweak will be in the next update as well ;)

- AJ

Yup. Thanks for the update bro!

Another question and important request: The custom CSS is slowing down my browser everytime I open it, I guess it has to do with the autocorrect. How can I disable it? thanks

That’s very strange, I’ve never seen or heard of this. Are you sure it’s not an issue with an add-on in your browser? Does it happen in all browsers?

The Custom CSS panel uses the core WordPress text editor so there is nothing you can do inside the theme itself to modify the editor you would have to modify WordPress functions.

If you have a lot of CSS though my recommendation would be to use a child theme instead though – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/ – and add your CSS in your child theme’s style.css file, it’s easier to manage this way, renders faster and you can use any text editor you want ;)

- AJ

Hi there,

In the theme features (http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/features/theme-features/builder-blocks/) it says that there is a Testimonial Slider and a Testimonial Grid, but I can’t find these in the list of elements when I’m editing the page. Can you help?

Many thanks,

Zak

Hi Zak,

Make sure you have the Testimonials post type enabled for your site – https://cl.ly/q0jB

More info on how to add testimonials: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/testimonials/

Perfect, thanks AJ!

Hey, the fixed header javascript stops working at 960px width, is there way to leave it on all the way or at least leave it on until 768px?

Ive tried to use the pure CSS fixed header, but I cant only make it look good on 1280px, when the browser gets smaller, the header is still until the border of the browser. Also, Im using the HEADER BUILDER, so I cant disable the fixed header scroll.

Would be great to get help on this!

No, as long as the setting is enabled it should work. This is what I was saying to do incase I wasn’t clear: https://cl.ly/q0zk

It’s just the 1 setting causing the sticky header to be disabled on mobile so nothing else could possibly conflict and doing this works when I test myself.

- AJ

Ahh I always had the Header style two on, so it wasnt the same sticky header! When I changed to One, I saw the mobile support field. Working fine now, I love you! :)

Oh, sorry I should have mentioned that. I’m glad it’s working now.

You’ve done an awesome job with this site, soooo cool!

Hello AJ,

I’m having a problem with the pages with Overlay Header and Footer Reveal with Footer Builder :

The space added below Social Share in not taken into account (whereas it is with Footer Reveal turned off), same thing if the space is added to top of such footer.

Example : https://culture-officer.fr/atelier

Michel

Hi Michel,

This is a browser issue with how margins work. Instead of adding a bottom margin to your social use a bottom padding and it will work – https://cl.ly/q0cT

- AJ

Thank you AJ, I was too dumb to trust Chrome too much and not think about this myself ;-)

Hey – is there a way to set a ScrollTo offset? Having trouble with the menu overlapping on this page.

http://growingleadership.com/summit2018/#Bill_Hybels

For what it’s worth, I’m using the Element ID of a column to specify the #link.

Hi,

It’s impossible to offset this specific link because it’s a standard browser “jump” link which is going to an ID on the page and the browser calculates these before the site has loaded and also the browser has no idea if there is a sticky header or not.

The only way for the browser to land in the correct spot is using the theme’s local scroll functions just like this – http://growingleadership.com/summit2018/#faculty

Hi AJ,

I’m trying to show the WPML language switcher as a dropdown in the topbar. It shows like that in the Total docs as well: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/language-switcher-topbar/. But it just won’t work.

When I add it as shortcode, I get list-style. Meanwhile I also try to add it via a topbar menu. And there it won’t show the other language. So it seems like the problem is with the dropdown. But it does show like that in your example so I’m lost ;)

What am I missing? See: http://floaterlaser.nl.217-18-77-18.pingwinwebdesign.nl/

Cheers, Tonny

Hi Tonny,

If you want it to display like a dropdown make sure to set the correct settings in WPML. The way the dropdown works in WPML is all the settings are controlled via their admin panel, so you need to set it to a dropdown style in there – https://cl.ly/pv0K

This is actually fairly new settings in WPML that didn’t exist when I made the original docs so I’ll update my docs accordingly to show this.

- AJ

thanks for all your help. The site is now live http://galmedpharma.com/ and we are working out final issues – one of which is that when the site loads we see a different font than the one that I set.

seems much better but there are times where it seems that the wrong font loads first. There is this fraction of a second adjustment.

It shouldn’t be possible to see any “flash” because the font is loading before the CSS/html of the site so it should render smoothly. I’ve tested in all browser and refreshed without cache enabled and I don’t see it…Are you having the issue in a specific browser?

- AJ

Hi AJ – I was having the issue on chrome on my laptop – but perhaps it was just a caching issue as everything now seems fine. thanks again

I have a issue with my header; How can I make the content of the pages load instantly in the right position, without load behind the header and then move from below it?

Hi,

The section where you have your blog has the “stretched row” enabled which uses javascscript on doc-ready to stretch the row which causes a short “flash” you can add css to prevent that but instead it will cause an animation “out”. I would actually recommend disabling stretched row so that your grid is inline with your header. Then if you want to make your site wider use the layout options – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/customize-your-layout-widths/

- AJ

I still can’t figure out why my logo now displays twice at www.jim-online.com. All I did was update WordPress and Total. My site was fine. I didn’t change anything. I followed t5he instructions for displaying a logo. It used to work. Now the latest update broke it.

Didn’t hear from you. Couldn’t figure it out. But hacked it with CSS display: none;

Hi,

It looks like you may have outdated files in your child theme causing the issue. There was some updates made to the file at partials/header/header-logo.php to add new hooks making it easier to insert custom content via a child theme to the logo section (as requested by many customers). If you have this file in your child theme you need to either delete it (doesn’t look like you are actually editing this file so no point in having it in your child theme) or update it accordingly based on the parent file.
