Hi,

I was able to recreate the issue as well but it’s very weird and I can’t see where it’s coming from even when connecting the phone to my iMac to check in the dev console.

I do see your slider is inside a full-height page builder row. I would recommend not doing that. Keep the row normal and set the slider to full-height (the row will stretch itself as needed). I think the full-height on the row is creating some conflict with the stretched slider.

Also you can insert the slider into the page settings instead of the builder so the page has less code on it – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-sliders-top-pages/ (method 1)

Hi AJ. I can’t thank you enough, really.
I took your advice and set the row with its default values: no full-height and no streching. All is well now.
Again, thank you for the support you give your costumers. I wish all were like this.
Oh and, as usual, i keep using your theme for almost 100% of my projects, lately. All the best.

Great, I’m glad it was a simple fix!

Always happy to help And thank you for the purchases!

- AJ

Hi,

How are you adding your custom post types? If you are using the Post Types UI plugin there are built-in settings to hide them – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-custom-post-types/

If not you can always use the core filter to show/hide it as needed via your child theme’s functions.php file. Example: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/disable-next-previous-post-links/

- AJ

ps: The theme is at a lower price right now if you wanted to renew your support or grab a new license

Hey there,

Unfortunately the “premium” templates are basically premium addons so they can’t be included with bundled products, it’s against the extended license. So you would have to purchase your own license to get full access to the premium addons (also includes some other stuff like auto updates and some extensions)

That said, there is a bunch of awesome slider templates for free here – https://revolution.themepunch.com/free-slider-exchange/ – you may find something good there.

Unfortunately I can’t erase comments, but if you do have any questions do let me know, we are here to help!

Chris,

Ha, I’m glad to hear that! Don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter we only send out 1 newsletter a week and we sometimes do giveaways, freebies or announce discounts.

Regarding synopsis…

The best thing for you to do would be to create a dynamic template for these style pages – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGYuBjqkj8Q

I would even recommend adding a new Post Type named “Books” for this as well so you can manage your books separately from standard pages – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-custom-post-types/

When you build your template you could use 2 columns and have a text block with the post content on the left then a second column for the book on the right. This way you don’t have to insert the book picture into the text block and you can use the “Post Media” module in Total and set your book cover as the featured image so it displays automatically.

And you can use custom fields – https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ – for dynamic content like the buttons at the top – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/advanced-custom-fields-shortcode/

Ex: https://cl.ly/rJPk

Of course this is my recommendation if you are adding a lot of books. If you are only adding a few then don’t change anything, just insert the image higher up, right now you are inserting it after the date, instead insert it at the very top of your text block.

- AJ

It’s only for 3 books, but I wasn’t aware I could insert it above the text. I’ll try that.

That said, it is the third time I come across CPTs and custom fields as better structured alternatives, so I really need to get to grips with that. I’ll go and read all the above and try to figure things out.

Thanks a lot AJ

Works like a charm! Thank you!

Actually I did not want it for all message boxes so I created a separate class for it; would be a nice feature for you to add by default.

Because the message box is a core WPBakery module I don’t really like adding custom settings to these as they are harder to manage with future plugin updates. But I would be willing to add my own message box module for Total if you have any inspiration for the design let me know

- AJ

Hi,

It would be possible to add code for this, however, because the testimonials post type are intended as testimonials for the entire website, are not a specific product and are not user submitted it would be seeing as spam and you can get banned from Google. Rich Snippets for testimonials must be user submitted, they must be assigned to a specific product, they should be time stamped..etc.

If you are only showing your testimonials on a specific page and they are intended for a specific product/service (like your website) you may be ok and I can provide you with the code you can add to your child theme for this. But you’ll need to share the site URL so I can see how the testimonials are being used on the site.

- AJ

Hi,

Thanks in advance

Hi,

• The related posts heading is an option in the Customizer at Appearance > Customize > Blog > Single. If you leave the setting empty in the Customizer it will pull the value from the .po file if not it will show the defined value.

• By default the images are centered but you can add this CSS to your site to move it:

body .entry-media { text-align: left; }

- AJ

Thank you, AJ.

Yes, I’d be glad to test when ready (no rush for me).

Michel

Hi Michel,

I’m having a hard time with this because of the way carousels work and the default gallery style lightbox. I’ve spent a few hours on it already and really want to get the update out before the weekend, so I’m keeping my progress and will get back to this over weekend and see what I can do.

- AJ

AJ, please don’t rush at all for me, I can absolutely wait !

The theme has a function wpex_has_social_share() so the “wpex-share-p-vertical” class shouldn’t even be added on pages where the social is disabled. However, it does look like it has a small bug which I am fixing right now. A new theme update will be coming shortly – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/upcoming-update-changelog/

Thanks for the heads up!

- AJ

You’re welcome.

P.s. New WPExplorer look great! You must have been busy

Thanks

ps: If you ever want to guest post the offer still stands!

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. Previously the Total theme had the single image module (which is part of the core builder plugin ) template file in the Total theme and was being modified to add extra settings not found by default such as this one. Over a year ago things were updated so instead of overriding the template file, Total now injects the caption into the shortcode output which is much more optimized and prevents any sort of conflicts with 3rd party plugins.

Because of how the module is coded the caption can only be injected into the parent element as opposed to the link. It’s probably better though because now the user can actually highlight and copy the text easier if they wanted.

That said, I have a new module in Total called “Image” which doesn’t have the caption option but I will add in the upcoming them update and this one would be inside the link.

- AJ

ps: The theme is at a discount if you wanted to renew your support or pickup a new license for another site (which will also renew your support).

I like the blue you have just fine. Nice new site though. Plenty to read. Looks great. Thanks AJ.

Actually, I take it back. That new site of yours isn’t nice…

It’s brilliant!. It covers lots of topics I’ve been pondering (great article on site translation by the way). Great resource.

I’m glad to hear that

I love fontsquirrel, and this plugin is nice, but what I want to do is load a webfont I created in this case, not a font from a library, or Google fonts or Typekit. I did try the “Use Any Font” plugin, but it didn’t work. I’ll try a couple more or do it manually.

Thank you AJ

Did you want to submit a private ticket then so I can have a look and help out? I believe you already did this…just confirming

I am finishing up the latest update and then I will get to any tickets assigned to me. Thank you for your patience!

- AJ

No, I didn’t. A bit unfair since this is not especially theme-related. I’ll see how I get on finding a decent plugin first, but thanks AJ.

Hi,

This isn’t supported yet by default. But it’s a great idea. I added it to my todo list for Total 4.7

I am actually working on a new grid module for the Page Builder also that will have built-in infinite scroll and load more functions and ajaxed category filter – but that is planned for Total 5.0

- AJ

Hi,

If you manually change fonts in the editor it overrides anything in the Typography tab because these are added inline and you can copy it, switch to text mode then paste it to remove all inline styles – https://cl.ly/rEB4

- AJ

Thank you AJ

Hi,

1. Hi, there is a partial it_IT.po file that was translated by a customer (it’s missing some strings from newer versions) – https://cl.ly/rEg1

2. The photos are included when you import a demo – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/importing-sample-data/ – nothing is included by default because most customers prefer to make their site from scratch without importing a demo or they are working with already live sites that have content and prefer to not import extra stuff.

3. I’m not sure what you mean…You can add any links you want in the menu if you want to link to another site or via a footer/sidebar menu widget.

- AJ

Hi, first of all thank you for your fast response! I would like to make a site which contains many hypothetical sites to make a sort of “show-room”, kind of similar to your “Live Preview”. Thank you.

Hi,

The way I do my live preview is via a multisite – https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network – so each demo is it’s own site (you only need 1 license of the theme for a multisite installation with unlimited subsites).

Then what I did for the landing page – https://totalwptheme.com/ – is I used the portfolio post type and the external link setting to link to the demos – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/redirecting-pages-posts/

- AJ

    // Begin entry output
                $output .= '<div vcex_grid_get_post_class="" .=""><a href="' . $atts['post_permalink'] . '" class="test">';

                    $output .= '<div class="vcex-blog-entry-inner entry-inner wpex-clr';
                        if ( $entry_css ) {
                            $output .= ' '. $entry_css;
                        }
                    $output .= '">';<br />
And this css:<br /><pre> .test {
    position: absolute;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
</pre>
<br /><br />
2. I add this css: <pre> .entry-readmore-wrap {
    padding-top: 15px;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 15px;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.vcex-blog-entry-details {
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    height: 251px;
    line-height: 1.8;
}
.vcex-blog-entry-inner {
    padding-bottom: 50px;
}
}
</pre> <br /> I think this metods are good. I tested The Grid (has Image crop problem) and Essential Grid (Has speed problem). Your addons are amazing</div></a></div>

Hi,

Great, I’m glad that works for you

If you want you can also just duplicate the module in your child theme and rename it so you have your own grid module that you can control 100% and never worry about any possible future theme edits – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/custom-grid-module/ – you will also be able to remove any settings/code you don’t need, add anything extra you want, use custom/unique classnames so you can apply the exact CSS you want and never worry about theme updates…so your own module

Cool idea (y)

Hi,

This is a common error if you are uploading the incorrect file. Please have a look here – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/theme-installation-errors/

If you still have issues please let me know so I can further assist.

I hope you are having a nice weekend!

- AJ

... thank you so much. You’re the greatest. Very quick answer and it works. If I could, I’d give 10 stars. Have a nice day.

Hi AJ,

Kind regards

You can change the gap settings – https://cl.ly/rJJU – but the reason there is a lot of empty space is mostly because the image is smaller then the column width. So instead of changing the gap maybe change the number of columns.

- AJ

If you want to change the container width of the no sidebar template you can use this CSS:

body.page-template-no-sidebar .container {
    width: 800px;
}

This will change the whole site width for all the container elements.

If you want to ONLY target the page content then use this:

body.page-template-no-sidebar #content-wrap.container {
    width: 800px;
}

If you have any issues with the code or it isn’t what you need, let me know.

Thanks AJ for the help. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get it working. I’m also having trouble getting the custom fonts set up. I submitted a ticket today.

Alright, I am working on finishing up and submitting the new update then I will get through tickets. Hopefully my support is able to assist you if not I’ll help you out asap. Thank you for your patience.
