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.

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

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!

- AJ

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/

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.

How can Overlay Header be enabled for posts or CPTs using Dynamic Templates? The Total page settings are not available for Templatera templates.

I’m posting the solution I ended up using here, in case someone may want to achieve the same effect:

add_filter( 'wpex_has_overlay_header', function () {
    if ( get_post_type() == 'post' ) return TRUE;
} );
Just replace ‘post’ with your post type slug. It’s great that the theme has so many developer-friendly hooks and filters. Good theme, this one.

A small correction to the above code (which will make all non-posts not have an overlay header regardless of setting):

add_filter( 'wpex_has_overlay_header', function ( $current_setting ) {
    if ( get_post_type() == 'post' ) {
        return TRUE;
    } else {
        return $current_setting;
    }
} );

Yep, that’s the correct code ;)

You can also do it like this:

add_filter( 'wpex_has_overlay_header', function ( $bool ) {
    if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) {
        $bool = true;
    }
    return $bool;
} );

Which I feel is a bit “cleaner” then having an “else” statement.

I’m glad you like the theme!

I purchased support, but the system isn’t recognizing this. I am having trouble with the update to the WP Bakery after updating the theme. It does not work and the plugin indicates if you purchased the plugin via a theme, which is THIS case, that I need to request support through the theme.

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. I see that you have valid support and it’s working correctly here and on our own system which is showing you have support up until 09-03-2018. Are you having issues submitting a private ticket?

What issue are you having when you try and update the plugin? The most common error is that the server won’t allow access to the plugin. Have you tried deleting and re-installing the plugin?

Please let me know how I can be of help, I just need a bit more info regarding what sort of error you are having. Thanks!

- AJ

Hi AJ. You (and Kyla / WPExplorer) are doing an awesome job making developing in Wordpress a breeze. Your support is awesome and I could not be happier with the Total Wordpress theme. (I think I’m up to seven licences on my personal freelance Envato account). Our museum site made a decision to use Modern Tribes Events Calendar Pro a long time ago. (I find the plugin and their updates to be a piece of junk to be honest). We use it together with the Eventica WP theme. I would like to change the theme to Total, but I will miss event carousel and other view modes. Have you ever considered making a Events Calendar Visual Composer plugin? I have played around with the Grid Builder but not all custom fields are accessible. I find the design possibilities somehow a bit limited too. I would LOVE to see a deeper integration with this plugin. That would be TOTALly awesome. :)

HI there,

This is AJ the theme developer ;) I would actually be interested in creating a sort of extension plugin for the Events Calendar. do you have any inspiration you can send over (like the carousel you speak of so I can see it?). Sounds like a nice idea.

Lately though I’ve seen a lot more customers buying and using this plugin – https://codecanyon.net/item/modern-events-calendar-responsive-event-scheduler-booking-for-wordpress/17731780 – have you checked it out before? It definitely has a much “prettier” look then the core Events Calendar plugin and more modules to display events (you can actually log in to their demo site to test things out).

Hi,

When I have blog pagination style set to load more, blogs from excluded categories are displayed. Also, when load more is selected the blogs are displayed in wrong date-order.

For all other pagination styles (infinite scroll etc etc) these issues don’t occur.

My blog is here: https://www.kyushujourneys.com/blog/

I’ve currently set pagination to infinite scroll (because the excluded blogs are full of duplicate content so I don’t want them indexed). I notice in this case even though layout is set to grid with 3 columns the final two blogs are not following the 3 columns layout. Not sure if this is related.

I’ve already cleared all caches, repaired my database and then restored database from backup.

Any idea?

Thanks, Simon

Hi Simon,

1. Thanks, I do see that issue and I’ll fix it right now for upcoming 4.6.1

2. I meant, I tested the load more on my test site and didn’t have issues with duplicate items.

3. Great! When you submit it just request it be sent to AJ so I can get this fixed up asap and include it in the next update.

- AJ

Sent support ticket as requested.

Sorry, forget to answer previous question. I’m not using any blog-related plugins.

Take your time, not urgent.

Fixed with 4.6.1 update. Thanks.

Another company that cannot keep their Live Preview / Demo site operational. Then can your support be like ??!!
