Hi mates, what is the version of actual theme? how can i see?;)

Hi there,

You can view the current theme version and full changelog here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/ – this URL is always available.

If you have any questions let me know.

Hello, any tips how to instal total theme and transfer all links etc without lose seo rank? thanks in advance

Hi,

I don’t understand what you mean by “How to add special recent posts widget on middle”? Can you explain? Do you have a mockup perhaps? Thanks!

- AJ

The code should be added to your child theme’s functions.php file. If you don’t have a child theme you can download a sample one here – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

I see some weird issue when using the Mobile Menu Style = Full Screen Overlay. When we click the toggle menu it will always scroll page up to the top no matter where we are position on page. This not happen with other mobile menu style. It cause bad experience if we are reading in the middle of the article then click the menu button and suddenly we are on top of the page and have to scrolling down to read the article again.

If you add this CSS to your site does it work?

body.wpex-noscroll { overflow-y: auto !important; position: static !important; }

I’ll look into adding a filter so you can disable it via PHP instead if you prefer.

- AJ

Yes it does!

Thank you so much four your support AJ.

We already enable to use dynamic template for post type but can we make it work for specific categories as well? The snippet would be helpful. This is in case if I would not want to create another post type. The dynamic template would make the process faster than open page builder every time.

Thank you.

The problem with adding it in the Category settings is the theme would have to loop through all categories attached to a post to check and it can be a slow process. It’s much much faster and optimized via code.

I am not wondering you’ve already think about this, especially for the best performance. :)

Thank you.

- Emily

If you have issues with the snippet let me know!

Hello! At the last update, WPBakery / Visual Composer Front End Editor stopped working. I have the following versions:

Total: 4.6.6.1 WPBakery Page Builder: 5.4.7

When I try to use the Frontend Editor, I get the following javascript error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘setSortable’ of undefined at n.setSortable (frontend-editor.min.js:7) at vc.ShortcodesBuilder.buildFromContent (frontend-editor.min.js:3) at Object.vc.build (frontend-editor.min.js:9) at frontend-editor.min.js:9

The backend editor works fine.

Also, maybe related, the Tabs no longer work. When I select a tab, it takes you to the bottom of the screen in stead of changing tabs. Maybe related?

Thanks, Seth

Oh great!

Let me know if you have any other issues or questions Seth ;)

- AJ

ps: The theme is on super sale now if you did want to pick up a license for another client and/or renew your support.

Support renewed!

wow, thanks!

As always if you need anything else, let me know and now you can also submit private tickets if needed ;) https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

Hi AJ,

I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong, but I’m having an issue with the Portfolio items, which I’ve never used before. I have a Portfolio page created here:

http://37.60.249.211/~davidbr9/gina/portfolio/

But when I click on an individual portfolio item, I get an error that says “Record not found.” Can you tell what’s going on?

David

Okay, just submitted it. Thanks!

Looks like my support guy replied back. Did he get the issue resolved for ya? If not, let me know!

- AJ

Just got a chance to look at it, and yes! It’s working now. I appreciate all your help (as always)! Thank you.

Hi,

How can do we create a full width but still maintain padding?

Thanks

Hi AJ, I have re read these above comments and gone through everything as recommended but still unable to get this to work. If i inspect the element and change the code from there, then it changes the site, so i can edit the following:

body.content-full-width #content-wrap .content-area, .content-full-width .content-area, body.content-full-screen #content-wrap { width: 90% !important; max-width: none !important;

but if I try to make any changes in customizer, then it has no effect on the site itself, I know the inspect changes doesnt make a permanent change but i can see the code is working.

Happy to give access to the site to see if you can see where im going wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

I see you already added some custom CSS to your site to remove the max width. But in terms of the customizer this is all that needs to be done: https://cl.ly/rvfr

  • Set max width to 100%
  • Alter container width to whatever you want. I would recommend a value like 95% to keep some site padding.

- AJ

thanks for the video, that made total sense now, I was making only one change rather than them both at the same time, totally get this now.

Thanks for your patience and assistance

Hi AJ, Thanks for your help on my previous query. Hope the rush out of town was nothing serious. I was just wondering. The main call to action buttons on most of our pages for example here https://cads.co.uk/portfolio-item/scia-engineer-bim-modelling-analysis-and-design/ were styled differently to the theme button. I wanted to add a button in a sidebar on one page but the only way I can think to do this is use the theme_button formatting in a text box but the styling of that button is different so I am assuming the person who did the graphic side of things has used custom css in the style sheet somewhere.l Any ideas how I could make the theme_button formatting match those of the CTA buttons please? Thanks for your continued support. All the best Alex

Hi Alex,

Are these the buttons you are trying to replicate? https://cl.ly/reF6

In Total you can tweak your default button styles across the whole site via the Customizer at Appearance > Customize > General Theme Options > Links & Buttons. More info here – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/button-colors/

So you can alter the default theme button color, font size, border radius, padding..etc.

And if you want to add a button in a text box on the sidebar all you need to do is give the classname “theme-button” to the link like such:

<a href="URL" class="theme-button">Text</a>

Let me know if that isn’t quite what you are looking for.

- AJ

Hi AJ,

I just uploaded a print.css to my child theme as described here:

https://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-print-ready/

However it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the print. Do I need to include a link to the css somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi,

Simply adding files in a child theme doesn’t load them onto the site. For scripts you need to add code to the child theme’s functions.php file to load them. Example: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/#user-contributed-notes

However, if you are using a child theme you don’t have to upload a print.css file you can put all your CSS for printing in your child theme’s style.css file and not load extra files to keep things faster. Like such:

@media print {
    YOUR CUSTOM CSS HERE
}

- AJ

That does the job. Thanks!

Hi AJ, I am using NSP’s Re-order plug in to sort my portfolio based on URLs. It wasn’t working as it was supposed to and here is NSP’s response:

“As far as i can see (without a login) the page uses Isotope JavaScript framework for absolute positioning of elements. That mean even if the elements are in correct order in html, they may appear in different position, per Isotope algorithm (available space). You should check with your theme if can disable the Isotope and use different urls for the categories, allowing the customized order to pass through on front side and apply accordingly.”

Is there a way to do this? Thanks! -jim

Hi Jim,

  • I have double tested the order plugin and it works just fine for me on my test server. Did you clear your site cache after altering the order? It is possible there is a bug in the plugin or the current setup. If you want to share logins myself or my support staff can log in and check – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/
  • There is still a lazy loading function enabled on the page though if it’s not coming from JetPack then it’s coming from somewhere else. Can you double check all plugins/scripts? You can see that lazy loading is enabled as when you scroll down the page the images fadeIn.

- AJ

Hi AJ, I sent a support email w/the login info a few minutes ago. I hadn’t tried clearing the cache before you sent this, but I tried and it didn’t help.

I searched all over and couldn’t find anywhere else that is set to lazy loading.

Let me know if you need any more tests on my end. Thanks, -j

Looks like my support guy assigned the ticket to me but forgot to let you know. I had to leave town for a bit. Will look and get back to you right now. Thank you for your patience!

- AJ

Hello AJ – hope you’re well?

Having used Total for my clients a couple of times now I figured it was about time I revamped my own site using Total!

I have a very simple CSS thing I can’t resolve… I added a style for dotted underlined text links, but the style is also applying to the social icons, which I don’t want.

http://aroundorover.com/link-test/

Should I be targeting a different style for the text links, or do I need to add something for the social icons to prevent the dotted line showing there too?

Thank you very much,

Pete

Hi Pete,

I am doing well thank you ;)

I would just reset it for the social links:

.entry a.wpex-social-btn {
    border: 0;
}

Of course you could also instead just target the text blocks like such:

.wpb_text_column a { border-bottom: dotted 1px #ffffff; }

- AJ

Thanks AJ – perfect!

Hey there, great theme and support. Quick question: Any idea why my mobile menu has disappeared? Everything is updated etc, nothing was changed…it’s just…gone. Thanos’ snap maybe?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

https://youthreach.ca/

Hey AJ, Ya, can’t really commit to renew the license at the moment. Still have zero idea why the mobile nav has vanished.

The site is pretty simple and as far as I can see there hasn’t been any tweaks to the code. Also, i’ve turned off all the plugins and the error still persists.

Did you want to give me an email address where I can email you privately as mentioned in my last comment? I don’t actually have access to your ThemeForest account information so I don’t know your email address you’ll need to provide me with one – thanks!

I agree it’s very strange and no one else has the issue so I am not only eager to help but also curious as to why it’s happened.

- AJ

Email sent ;)

Background Images not showing on mobile site. I have a website where i have some rows with images as backgrounds. However the image backgrounds are not visible on on the mobile version of the site. www.gwahydro.com

thanks for your reply. I moved the site from localhost on my PC by uploading the files to cpanel. then i exported the database. yes, i have seen the broken image link pointing to my localhost. how do i fix that now?

fixed it. by changing the links in phpmyadmin via cpanel. Info link is here. https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/migrating-wordpress-inmotion-hosting/correct-image-links

Great! I’m glad you were able to get things fixed up ;)

Hi,

When i post a link to one of my portfolio categories, a preview image is retrieved, but it’s got nothing to do with the thumbnail i have in the category…

Example here : http://www.laurentfabry.com/photographie/sport/ (instead of a sport image such as the one used as header on the page of my site, posting a link to this page retrieves something totally different, which i believe comes from the slider of my home page !)

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi, can i get an answer, please, as a supported client, and being annoyed with this issue for about 10 months… ?

Hi there,

So all these errors are server related, Access-Control-Allow-Origin errors mean that your server is preventing access to the fonts so they can’t be loaded. You need to contact your webhost so that they edit the security on your site to allow custom fonts to load (should be a quick and easy fix) or if you are using a security plugin you need to tweak the settings accordingly.

This issue is very unusual for standard webhosting and pretty much any managed WP hosting should allow custom fonts by default, but if you are using a dedicated server it’s possible that you need to define your Access-Control-Allow-Origin manually.

- AJ

ps: Please be sure to comment on the original comment for followup, to ensure a quick turn around. This reply was posted on a thread about something completely different (facebook thumbnail). Thanks!

Hi AJ, thank you,

Sorry about mixing the comments, i will continue on the proper thread, since i’m not convinced about your answer, i’m afraid…

Good afternoon AJ

How are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day. I’ve just updated to v4.6.6 and noticed a bit of a difference in the fixed site top mobile menu height when it’s closed. It looks to be about 1/2 the height it was on v4.6.5, meaning the padding seems to be reduced around “menu”. It also appears like there’s about twice as much padding above the logo (below mobile menu bar) than below the logo where the content starts.The other mobile menu choices seem to be fine.

Can this be adjusted with some css or in the customizer?

Thank you in advance for your assistance AJ. And have a good evening.

Bill

Hi Bill,

I’m having an ok day, Envato is being a bit weird today causing some stress but hopefully it will be fixed up shortly ;)

Darn, thanks for the heads up. This is a pretty ugly bug. So I will submit a 4.6.6.1 update right now with the fix. Thanks for the heads up! It is an easy CSS fix though. I started adding functionality for custom icons/section in this mobile menu style and accidentally uncommented the incorrect code (not quite done yet) before the update.

Thanks for letting me know Bill and sorry about that,

- AJ

No worries AJ. Thanks again for your help and the update fixed the challenge.

Have a great day. Bill

Hi,

There isn’t any new replies to your tickets – https://cl.ly/reNW – all the latest replies are from me or my staff.

But I will respond to the last ticket regarding these 2 issues.

- AJ

I just sent you a reply – https://cl.ly/rdtv

Hi! I forget how to do this and can’t find it in the docs. I created a page with the visual composer login form. Where do I customize the username/password? Once logged in to it it redirects to another page. Should I set that page to private or password protected? Thanks AJ!

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I did the redirect as you mentioned but it only redirects if the url I put in there has that page set to published. So basically then once someone has that url they wouldn’t need to login anymore since it’s not a private page.

For the login I wanted to know how to make a custom user/pass. So I thought I had to create a new user in wordpress and the default choices were customer, subscriber, admin etc so I assumed ‘customer’ gave just viewing rights. It seems to work fine.

So basically I want members only of the golf course to go to this page: http://newportnational.com/members/ and after logging in (all with the same user/pass) go to this page http://newportnational.com/members-area. But I don’t want that second page to load if someone just pastes that url in which currently is the case. Hopefully this was the correct way of going about this. Thanks!

Oh…

Ok so you basically want to redirect any NON logged in users that try and visit the members-area page to the login or the homepage. This i quick simple but requires either a plugin or some custom code. If you have a child theme the code is very simple.

Example:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
    if ( is_page( 'members-area' ) && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $redirect_url = home_url( '/members/' ); // Change this to wherever you want people redirected to
        wp_redirect( esc_url( $redirect_url ), 307 );
    }
} );

That would go in the child theme’s functions.php file.

Thank you!

I’m having a problem with variable products in woocommerce. The variation images or prices don’t display when a variation is selected. but they will display fine when they’re placed in a cart.

Hi Lincoln,

I’m liking what you’ve done so far on the site! I do see a javascript error on the site that could be breaking the WooCommerce’s javascript – https://cl.ly/rc80

Can you log in and go to your plugins dashboard and disable any 3rd party WooCommerce addons. It looks like there is a stripe gateway addon active that may be throwing this error.

- AJ

Also when adding your variations, you have given each a custom price correct?

You were right! it was the stripe add-on that was causing the problem. Works like a dream now.

And yes I gave a variation a custom price. ;)

Thank you for your help.

Is there ANY way to get the VERSION shown on the download page so a paying subscriber can see if they have already downloaded and applied an update?

Hi,

Unfortunately Envato doesn’t show the version number here in your downloads and as an author it’s impossible for me to add that. But the changelog and version number can always be found here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/

More importantly if you log into your WordPress site and go to Theme Panel > Theme License and activate your license you will receive notifications in your WP dashboard if there is an update available. More info on the docs here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

The current version is 4.6.6 – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/locate-current-theme-version/

If you have any issues or concerns with the update process let me know!

Hi there,

I have a question regarding the retina features. I am sitting on a 5K iMac here and I uploaded a retina logo into the customizer. But the logo does not use the retina image – it uses the normal logo.

Is this because of retina.js?

Hi,

The logo uses it’s own code for retina. In order for it to work you do need to make sure you entered a height for your retina version in the Customizer (right under the option to upload your standard logo) as well as a custom retina logo. The height is required for the retina to run so that it can display at the correct dimensions.

Did you enter a height value? This height should be the height of your native logo display so the retina is displayed at the same size.

- AJ

Ahh great! Thanks for the fast support – that was the issue :D

Your theme is really one of the best ever seen ;)

I’m glad it was an easy fix! Thank you for the great rating/review. I really appreciate it.

If you have any other questions, issues or suggestions for future improvements let me know!
