That is the best way as it removes all code related to the mobile menu.

But you could also go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Mobile Menu and set this: https://cl.ly/shhG – which basically just removes the toggle for the mobile menu so it’s not visible on the page.

- AJ

great thanks, that worked for removal, but one problem – the uber menu does not display on mobile. maybe I missed a setting?

Hi,

Oh sorry, you are doing an integration with the default menu. So in your case you just need to go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Mobile Menu and set it to disabled there – https://cl.ly/shxE – this way the UberMenu should be visible at all screen sizes.

Or instead of using:

add_filter( 'wpex_mobile_menu_style', '__return_null' );

You would use:

add_filter( 'wpex_mobile_menu_style', 'disabled' );

I will update the snippet right now

- AJ

This is probably beyond my ability – not sure what that security problem would be – yes, it looks perfect on your local test. Any other suggestions about what I should do?

Hi AJ,

I discovered that the plugin Autoptimize was not allowing the code to work. I deactivated it and the code worked. I have a problem, however, since WPBakery is NOT loading on the Front End but will load on the Back End. I looked at the console but I’m not sure why this is happening.

Hope you can help.

Best,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Can you share a screenshot of the error you get in the console when trying to open the front-end editor?

I have some tips here that can help if you wanted to look first: https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/visual-composer-issues/

Not sure why I never saw this comment, it just popped up in my dashboard!

So 200-300 at a time is good traffic, awesome! In terms of these spikes like this the server will be important and even without traffic spikes I always recommend a CDN. I have been very happy with CloudFlare and it works well with Flywheel and WPEngine.

As long as your site is well cached traffic spikes shouldn’t really cause much issue, it’s a big problem though with uncached websites.

In any case I would ask FlyWheel about that to make sure you are choosing the right plan and setting up according to their recommendations.

- AJ

That’s okay, AJ… I went with Flywheel and I can already see a boost in speed (unless it’s my imagination). I love the dashboard and everything else about it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Awesome!

Hi AJ – There was a setting in the backend to enable/disable Google fonts. Turns out I had misread it anyway and you’re absolutely right it was enabled not disabled – sorry about that. Thanks for the breadcrumbs fix. Great news that your bro is back and all good so happy for you and the family. I do have another question for you as it is completely baffling me. I have on one of our sites a “Did you know” page that pulls in a blog archive with a small featured image on the left here https://cads.co.uk/support-and-learning/did-you-know/ I have created the same page, with the same custom category and all settings the same here https://www.cadsindia.com/help-centre/did-you-know/ but for some reason the featured image is massive and above the article link. When I log into Wordpress the image displays correctly as with the UK site. I did add a little custom css in the style sheet to stop the header image showing in the single post as I only want the featured image to show in the archive rather than within the actual post .

Any thing you can see would be great. so just to clarify, the UK site is correct but the cadsindia site displays incorrectly, unless logged into wordpress.

Thanks again and all the best to the family

Alex

Hi Alex,

Looks like you already added some custom CSS for here – https://www.cadsindia.com/help-centre/did-you-know/ – great!

Regarding the featured image on the post. You don’t have to use CSS to hide it, you can actually use custom code if you prefer to remove the HTML completely.

I see it’s a custom post type so if you are using the Post Types Plugin you should see options to enable/disable exactly what you want on the post – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-custom-post-types/

If you are not using the plugin you can modify the post type single post blocks as such – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/snippets/cpt-single-blocks/ (see last example in the function to unset media).

- AJ

Hi AJ Thanks for coming back. I added the css as initially the plugin settings weren’t affecting the post but then I realised that I hadn’t cleared the cache on the installation or on the CDN we use which sorted it- Thanks Actually on the same subject I was wondering- The post archive on the same did you know page only has very feint lines between them – I can’t see a setting anywhere top adjust perhaps the thickness or the colour. I’m sure there might be something I can change somewhere but I can’t see it. Just wondering if you could point me in the right direction please? Thanks and hope you are keeping well Alex

Hi,

Can you share an example? I am not sure what you mean. By default all text in themes should be left aligned and if you want it centered by default it would require a little custom CSS which I can assist with.

- AJ

Hi, Thank you for your answer. I’ve fixed the problem by adding some css. I have an other question, the first item of the menu is hidden by the logo when you reduce the viewport before the burger menu appears. How can I fix that ? I was thinking about adding a breakpoint but I can’t do it without editing the code so I wanted to ask first.

Hi,

You can actually use the theme settings to alter the breakpoint – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/alter-mobile-menu-breakpoint/ – no need for custom CSS.

- AJ

Hi David,

So actually redirecting the user after a password is reset is very easy! But it does require a bit of custom code added to a child theme – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Here is the hook to use: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/after_password_reset/

However, it appears WooCommerce is making their own redirections so you would need to hook into WooCommerce’s action instead named “woocommerce_customer_reset_password”.

The code to add to your child theme’s functions.php should look something like this:

add_action( 'woocommerce_customer_reset_password', function() {
    wp_redirect( admin_url() );
    exit;
} );

If you want to disable the user page completely that is also possible.

- AJ

Thanks AJ What a brain you have in there. Did a quick search on the use of the hook, found a few suggestions but non a match on yours for simplicity and understanding. Works beautifully. Hope you make room for a summer break. Cheers, David

Hi Riel,

A link where? In a menu, text editor, a certain module? I’m not seeing any issue: https://cl.ly/sin9

- AJ

ps: Be sure to purchase a license of the theme to access support, thanks! – The theme is on sale for 50% off right now also

Hi,

The updated WPBakery version 5.5.1 was released in the last theme update last week – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/ – you just have to update your theme so you can update the plugin. The plugin updates are provided with the theme this way if there are any tweaks needed in the theme or any bugs I can fix them before sending them over to you as opposed to having the plugin update separately.

If you aren’t sure how to update the theme please see here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

Once the theme is updated you will see a notice to update the WPBakery Page Builder at the top of your WP dashboard or you can go to Appearance > Install Plugins to access the updates from there.

- AJ

Hi,

Can you share a live example?

By default the tags aren’t in “columns” they display as simple buttons with a little padding, background and border like this – https://cl.ly/shJm – it should display the same on mobile, they shouldn’t be stretched out.

- AJ

Hello AJ, Sorry for the delayed reply… I substituted the php file with the file you provided and all looks great now. Thank you again so much. Love your theme, but I haven’t yet dealt with SASS; I am used to just working with html and php files to make various changes in the few other themes I have worked with. Thank you again!

Great

I’m not sure what you were trying to imply regarding your SASS comment but maybe this will help:

Even though Total uses SASS to generate it’s CSS files you shouldn’t ever be looking at or modifying those files. If you want to locate the CSS applied to a specific element use your browser, example: https://cl.ly/tChf (this is the Chrome developer tools window).

Any extra customizations to the site should be done by adding Custom CSS to override the theme’s core styles or you can use a plugin like this – https://wordpress.org/plugins/yellow-pencil-visual-theme-customizer/

- AJ

Hi AJ,

I know you sent this in July. I have been out of the country for a couple of months… Thank you SO much for clarifying the editing of files! I am still learning how to edit the CSS and HTML files in WP themes, so this is very helpful to know that I do not have to know SASS to edit the theme. The plugin looks very interesting.

Again, thank you so much!

Rebecca

Hi Joe,

Here is the deal. ThemeForest is making a bunch of new rules for Themes that they will be enforcing. One of them is you won’t be allowed to have built-in modules like those in Total. So I will be extracting the current modules and creating a “Total Builder Addon” plugin instead that includes all the previous modules but also some new ones and hopefully added support for other builders like Elementor/Beaver/Gutenberg. So I am making a list of new modules to add and I think this would be a great one. Do you have an example of how you are using it so I can take a look? I assume you are referring to some sort of toggle that you can use to actually hide rows, correct? If so, the best way would be to have the setting added to a section so you can choose to make a section a “expandable” then any rows/content added in that section would be hidden by default, this would be fairly simple to do and hopefully not require any manual edits to the builder code.

Thanks!

- AJ

Hey AJ,

Thank you for your response and explanation. That is correct – a section that can expand and collapse. The expandable section can contain rows with elements – i.e. text blocks, forms, pricing tables, etc.

Here’s a site to test drive an implementation of an expandable section. http://www.temporary-url.com/01602

My site is still in development, but here are some screenshots showing two expandable sections: http://www.temporary-url.com/E09

”... the best way would be to have the setting added to a section so you can choose to make a section a “expandable” ...” – yes agree!

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Joe

Added to my todo list, thanks for the inspiration

This functionality hasn’t been changed in a long time it should still be working – https://cl.ly/shhI – do you have any plugins active or child theme code that could be removing it?

- AJ

Strange! There appears to be a conflict with the “Admin Menu Editor” plugin. Import/Export doesn’t even show up on the plugin settings page, it’s just removed entirely: https://cl.ly/sibG

I installed the plugin and I see the issue I updated the file to use PHP_INT_MAX for the admin_menu hook’s priority when registering the submenu, The reason was so that this menu is always at the bottom. However, the plugin you are using is using the same hook but because the theme is using the largest possible priority this panel is registered after your plugin does it’s thing….Hope that makes sense.

I changed it to use 9999 instead and that works. If you want to update via FTP here is the file – https://cl.ly/si2y – replace via FT under Total/framework/classes/

- AJ

In case somebody needs it: seems something like helps… .vcex-blog-entry.entry-has-details:nth-of-type(odd) .entry-media { float: right; }

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Ok fixed it, there was an old one in the / root

hmm Test again. It is really conflict with Gutenberg. I was confused testing on both my live site and localhost. The live site lightbox not work but this might conflict with another plugin. But please check with Gutenberg. The lightbox is work but the thumbnails and arrow not appear. This test only have Gutenberg install alone.

Lightbox shouldn’t work with the Gutenberg module because that module just opens up the image. I tested and that’s exactly what’s happening. In order for the Gutenberg image gallery to have lightbox you need to add extra javascript to the site. If the plugin is ever added to core I will add a setting in the Theme Panel to enable that – it won’t be added by default because it can break 3rd party scripts like JetPack.

Maybe it looks like lightbox because when you open an image in the browser it has a black background but it’s not a lightbox it’s just the image.

- AJ

Hi AJ. It actually did work on my page with Gutenberg. You can see it in action from the link below. It just not show the arrow and the thumbnails for the gallery. It acting like a single image.

- Another request. I am not sure if this is issue or it suppose to be this way but I think it could improve. I think the lightbox for gallery (in post) when viewing on mobile they should have controller (next-prev arrow) like it did with the Gallery post format slider. I found to sweep on mobile is struggling sometime because the content underneath lightbox still scrolling.

Thank you.

Hi,

Oh, yes I remember this site. Great work by the way.

So I see your custom CSS on the site but the theme is also spitting out the right code. When removing your custom CSS from the child theme it should still render correctly – https://cl.ly/siC9 ( the bottom 2 are coming from your child theme and the top value is coming from the theme).

So I’m not sure how you would be seeing white unless it was some sort of caching issue.

Now your child theme is loading twice on your site – https://cl.ly/shq5 – this isn’t necessarily a problem in of itself but it could mean there is an issue with how the child theme was setup. I would recommend double checking the functions.php file to make sure there isn’t any issue there.

- AJ

Can another problem with CSS which you found be related with this code:

/* * Load the parent style.css file */ function total_child_enqueue_parent_theme_style() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘total_child_enqueue_parent_theme_style’ );

/ Load child style.css file */ function total_child_enqueue_child_theme_style() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri().’/style.css’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘total_child_enqueue_child_theme_style’ );

Probably I fixed issue with background color of pages. I opened again Options > Background. The color was correctly set. However I changed it to another color and then back to necessary color and saved changes. Now the background color became correct. I did it for all my sub-sites in multisite.

Red your blogpost about updating and the Envato Market plugin 2.0 and updated through the dashboard… that worked ;))

Any chance I can get a reply to this question soon? I renewed support specifically to ask this question, but it’s been 5 days and no response!

Hi,

This is Aj the theme developer.

Regarding your question basically you would need to use a different CSS when the h1 is aligned center or to the right to move your little underline.

Where are you using these styles? Because if you are using the WPBakery Page Builder there is actually a style you can already use for this. Here is a quick video: https://cl.ly/shX2

Now, the module does have an extra underline but you can easily remove that with a little CSS:

body .vcex-heading-bottom-border-w-color { border: 0; }

- AJ

ps: If you don’t get a reply within 24 hours please let us know or submit a ticket – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/ – because of how ThemeForest works I am the only one answering comments but I have a staff helping out with all tickets so you can get a reply there even if I am absent for some reason (not usually the case).

Thank you!

Hi Patrick,

I don’t have anything built-into Total for this as it’s something fairly unique and no one has requested it. Usually this is something you would only see in a shop and plugins like WooCommerce already have this sort of function.

You could do it with Slider Revolution though as it does allow you to define a custom thumbnail for your slide – https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/thumbnail/ – different from the main image.

If you only need one or a few of these using the slider should be easy, but if you need some sort of dynamic function that uses a custom post type or custom-fields then you may need to look into coding something custom.

- AJ

Hi,

If you want to delete all the content on the main page the quickest way is to just delete the page itself then make a new one. Otherwise you can just edit it and click the x button to remove each row like such – https://cl.ly/si5B

Or you can switch to text mode and highlight everything and delete it like such: https://cl.ly/shTF
