Hi,

So when making the mega menu what you want to do is create dropdowns for each section. So if you want 5 columns you would have 5 sets of dropdowns.

On this demo under “Home” you see a megamenu with 5 columns – http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/base/ – this is how it was created – https://cl.ly/rsQa (video…click expand to view fullscreen so you can see the details)

Does this help?

- AJ

Thank you. OK. One additional question. If not to use mega menu, is there any snippet to wrap words in submenus for items with many letters?

By default normal dropdowns expand to fit the size of the text. But you can use CSS to set a max width on normal dropdowns like this:

#site-navigation .sf-menu ul {
    width: 200px;
    overflow:hidden;
}

#site-navigation .dropdown-menu ul a {
    word-wrap: break-word;
    white-space: normal;
}

Result: https://cl.ly/rsaJ

Hi,

I’m going to be honest if you are looking to switch themes just to restyle a few small things like the shopping cart/checkout I would recommend just paying a freelancer $40 to do it and not bother with all the effort of switching over to a new theme. Of course I want to make money and sell my theme, but I won’t try and upsell you if I don’t believe you truly need it.

If that’s all you want I wouldn’t switch themes since you will have to re add your logo, tweak the main theme settings, etc. If you like your current site design and the only thing bothering you is a few small tweaks you could also just invest in a plugin like Yellow Pencil which is a point-and-click CSS editor – https://www.wpexplorer.com/customize-wordpress-theme-design/

The main reason to switch to Total would be if you are looking at using the included page builder – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/building-pages-visual-composer/

And taking advantage of the fact that Total is very developer friendly do to it’s large amount of hooks/filters – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/action-hooks/ – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/ – if you want to overhaul the site completely, the quality support..etc.

Honestly, I wouldn’t switch just for styling purposes to any theme if I was happy with my current one.

In terms of a demo for shipping options, I assume you are referring to the shipping zones. The display in Total by default is pretty much like the core plugin’s display and will look like this – https://cl.ly/rsQM

Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you are having a nice holiday weekend!

- AJ

ps: I am actually releasing a new theme focused primarily on WooCommerce very soon that has a simple widgetized homepage for showing recent products and all the WooCommerce core CSS has been removed and everything designed from scratch for a super slick modern shop look If interested you can also follow me here on ThemeForest to get notified when I release new stuff.

Thanks for the honesty ^^ I think I’ll work with what I have in the meantime, but I’m really interested in the new theme you mentioned too. Thanks so much for the quick and helpful response.

Always happy to help just let me know if you have any other questions or even suggestions

Of course, to disable the image on the blog posts you just need to go to Appearance > Customize > Blog > Single and disable the “Featured Media” block – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/blog-single-post-builder/

Hi,

The URL “xpressnm.com” isn’t working for me, is that the correct address?

Usually if things aren’t showing up on mobile it’s due to a 3rd party conflict, did you try de-activating any 3rd party plugins to check?

- AJ

Hi AJ, I solved the issue sorry for the inconvenience. It’s the first time I built a multisite, the problem solved when I add a line to wp-config. Thanks

Nice, I’m glad you fixed it! If you do need anything let me know!

- AJ

Awesome, thanks for renewing

What green bar are you referring to? Since you haven’t shared your live site I’m not sure what you are referring to but I assume you mean the “Top Bar” – this can be tweaked at Appearance > Customize > Top Bar > General > Background

- AJ

This green bar ^ ^ ^

Oh I don’t have any control over the site colors here on ThemeForest. I am just an author of this marketplace, that would be something to ask the actual owners of this site “Envato”. But I doubt they would change it since this green is closer to their brand color – https://envato.com/

aw no worries I found it neded to remove the .pricing_table_content part and now it works thanks

I’m glad you figured it out. What a cute looking site, great work!

- AJ

Thank you!

Hi,

To force these background to be fixed on mobile you would need to use this custom CSS:

.wpex-is-mobile-device {

    body,
    #wrap .bg-fixed,
    #wrap .bg-fixed-top,
    #wrap .bg-fixed-top {
        background-attachment: fixed !important;
    }

}

Added under Theme Panel > Custom CSS. If you add it to your child theme’s style.css file it may not override and you would have to tweak it a bit to make it take priority.

Now, the reason these backgrounds are set to scroll on mobile is because it can cause a ton of lag on mobile devices when you try and scroll, especially if using larger images.

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. Because you own your own license you can definitely log in with this username for ALL your clients. The only thing needed to submit a ticket is an active support license it doesn’t matter if the questions are for your site or a client site

But you can also leave questions here for me to answer. I handle all comments and I have a support staff that handles most tickets.

- AJ

Thanks, that makes it easier for me.

That’s awesome man! If there are any Elementor integrations missing or needed for Total still let me know!

Yep, the code above should work then

yes but i need above share this icons

That’s going to be a tricker because the share icons are part of the default blog elements – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/blog-single-post-builder/ – whereas the next/previous by default is outside of the post at the bottom.

Have you looked at using the Dynamic template function as mentioned before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGYuBjqkj8Q – this way you can setup your layout exactly as you want.

- AJ

Hi,

It should definitely be working if you open framework/core-functions.php and locate the “wpex_get_archive_grid_entry_class” function you can see it’s the same function that is adding the default column classes, so if it wasn’t working you wouldn’t even have columns on the site – https://cl.ly/rrmC

If you do this for testing – https://cl.ly/rrXF – do you not see the added classes from the filter?

I tested locally and I didn’t have any problem hooking into the wpex_get_archive_grid_entry_class filter. This should be running on any custom post type archive or taxonomy.

- AJ

Hi AJ, This is what is printed out: cpt-entry [1] => col [2] => clr [3] => span_1_of_3 [4] => col-1 ) class=”cpt-entry col clr span_1_of_3 col-1 post-3735 properties type-properties status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry tag-25-unique-homes tag-andy-livingstone-park tag-bars tag-bus tag-cafes tag-chinatown tag-dr-sun-yat-sen-classical-chinese-garden tag-fifth-avenue tag-markets tag-restaurants tag-skytrain tag-sparrow-chinatown local-chinatown local-downtown local-main local-mount-pleasant zone-downtown-vancouver-presale-condos entry has-media”> I tried removing the: if ( ‘properties’ == get_post_type() ) { $classes[] = ‘span_1_of_2_pl’; // 2 columns on phone landscape $classes[] = ‘span_1_of_1_pp’; // 1 column on phone portrait } and changed it to just: $classes[] = ‘span_1_of_2_pl’; // 2 columns on phone landscape $classes[] = ‘span_1_of_1_pp’; // 1 column on phone portrait in my child functions.php filter, but still the same thing as above was displayed.

So, not sure why this isn’t working.

Thank you again for your help.

Did you want to open a ticket and have it sent over to me? I know I had a previous ticket for this site but wasn’t able to locate it.

If you send me WP/FTP logins I can double check things and make sure it’s fixed up. Let me know if there is anything else pending for this site to so I can crank it out for ya.

The code should be working…

- AJ

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. First of all I hope you are having a nice weekend.

The missing style.css issue is simply caused by uploading the incorrect file to your server or if you need to increase your server’s memory limit. See the docs here

• https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/how-to-install-your-theme/
• https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/theme-installation-errors/

Now, this is just 1 theme (Total) but it includes many pre-made demos as you can see here: https://totalwptheme.com/#demos

There is a demo named “Corporate” and there is also a demo named “Nouveau”. Every demo is using the same theme you purchased “Total” but with different theme settings defined and different content added if you wanted to import it on a fresh installation to get a quick start on your site.

If you wanted to install the Nouveau demo all you need to do after installing the theme is to import it as shown in the docs – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/importing-sample-data/ – make sure to select the correct one.

If you are having any issues with the demo import or installing the theme you can open a private ticket with temp logins so we can help set it up for you – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

I have replied to your refund requests as well.

Hi Horst,

First of all the site looks great, I love what you’ve done so far!

Regarding the header if you want to customize the layout it is possible using mostly CSS, but it’s going to be a bit tricky (especially for responsiveness). But mostly the menu and logo are fairly big so there wouldn’t be too much room – https://cl.ly/rsDe

What you may want to do instead is use header style 3 which centers the logo but places the menu below – https://horstschulte.com/?header_style=three – this gives it a more “newsy” style feel and also makes it so only the menu is sticky on scroll which is much better on your site with the current logo setup.

- AJ

Thanks and best regards horst

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. I hope you are having a great holiday weekend!

So there isn’t any known issue it should be working correctly – https://cl.ly/rsgO

Usually if you aren’t able to select more then a couple images it means there is some sort of restriction on the server. Are you able to access an error logs file on your server and see if any errror is generated when trying to add images?

- AJ

ps: The theme is onsale now if you did want to renew your support license or pick up a new copy.

Update : Wpengine support could not see anything in the logs. I have raised a private support ticket. Kindly assist.

I see the ticket I’ll have a look right now.

Thanks AJ. It’s almost midnight here so it would be a good time to experiment and get this issue resolved even if it requires site downtime.

Hi,

There isn’t any way to code the theme to check when they overlap and have it auto stack without using javascript which causes a flash so it’s not ideal. The best thing is to either add some custom CSS via media queries (if you share the URL I can help with the custom code) to change the way it works at certain screen sizes. Or to have the main menu and copyright always on separate lines – if you have a lot of text/menu items.

Usually you would only want a small copyright notice and a few links in this area (privacy, contact, terms) so for most the overlapping isn’t an issue.

- AJ

Awesome AJ! Thank you Another question if you don’t mind… I’ve able to move the callout to the wpex_hook_header_after hook adding an action, but I realized the callout is now duplicated, in the header and in the footer… is there a proper way to remove it from the footer hook and add it to another? Thank you! Gonna check that sale!

You’ll need to use remove_action to remove the callout – I would recommend adding everything on the init hook to make sure it always takes priority. Example:

add_action( 'init', function() {

    // Remove callout
    remove_action( 'wpex_hook_footer_before', 'wpex_footer_callout' );

    // Re-add callout
    add_action( 'wpex_hook_header_after', 'wpex_footer_callout' );

} );

Depending what you are doing instead of moving the callout you could also just insert a custom area under the header, maybe even using a template. Example: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/insert-template-content-via-theme-hooks/

- AJ

ps: Sale ended a few days ago, sorry

Nice!! I think I prefer the callout as it is super easy for web editors to activate&deactivate via theme customizer. Gonna use a template, that’s very helpful. I see the sale is ended, no problemo. Thank you!!

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer.

Technically because it’s a Google font it doesn’t need a fallback. Fallback fonts are used for browsers that don’t support a specific font. For example you may want to use Helvetica but that’s a mac font so you would have to set Arial as the fallback for Windows. Your Google font loads before your site even loads so it will always exist on the site and will load for all browsers.

HI Neil,

If they are in your child theme then you or someone else working on the site copied them over and potentially modified them.

That said there are 2 files inside Total – https://cl.ly/rov6 – that need updating. I will push out a quick Total update soon with the updated files (I already updated them locally in my dev environment). I generally way about a week before pushing out WooCommerce updates because in the past WooCommerce has been known to “f-up” updates. When they launched their last big update I released a full update to Total and then they re-tracked their update and released the older version then re-released the update some days later. It was a huge pain in the butt for everyone. I usually recommend waiting a week or so to do a big WooCommerce update (unless there are big security fixes) to prevent wasting time.

- AJ

Thanks AJ, I can’t recall me copying those across, but anything is possible! I’ll move them somewhere safe and see if it breaks anything.

I agree about Woo updates, and the only reason I installed this one promptly was because of the GDPR…

Look forward to your release.

Cheers.

Oh and by the way, the 2 template files that need “updating” don’t actually need updating for 3.4 to work – the changes that were made aren’t crucial it was pretty much just code commenting and cleaning up the spacing.

Hi,

If you log in and visit this page – http://rchs.on.ca/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpex-panel-theme-license&troubleshoot=1 – do you see any specific error notice?

- AJ

Says status ok

That is very strange!

Ok, so the license is only used for auto updates so you shouldn’t have any actual issues using the site without it and at your time you can submit a private ticket with temp logins and the license key you are trying to use, so I can take a look – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/ – simply request your ticket be assigned to me “AJ” so I can get this resolved for you incase I need to set it manually.

- AJ
