Hi,

Regarding blog posts the featured image is too close to main top navgation. How can I add top-margin to featured image as default to all blog posts?

Regards

Hi,

This would happen if you disabled the main page title because the main title adds margin between the header and content. You can add global spacing via the Customizer under Customize > General Theme Options > Page Header Title: https://cl.ly/f14fadbc89f7

Or if you want to ONLY target your blog posts you can use a little CSS. Example:

body.single-post #main { padding-top: 40px; }

Hello,

i want to show the scroll to top after some scrolling of the page because the default one is too early for my project. I found that there is a js with offset 100 and adding a .show class but i din’t find a way to alter the offset.

What i have to modify?

Thank you

Hi,

There is a filter you can use to alter the default offset. Here is the example code to add to your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wpex_localize_array', function( $array ) {
    $array['scrollTopOffset'] = 500;
    return $array;
} );

Where is the author? Where are the updates?

Sorry for the delay. I had some personal issues keeping me away from work. My support has still been replying to all support via tickets but they don’t release updates. I will be pushing out the update shortly ;)

Hi there,

does this theme support Dokan or will it in the future?

We tested it out, but the vendor pages look a bit broken: https://imgur.com/a/IpZE5Hz

Hi,

This is AJ the theme developer. I don’t have the product to test myself, it looks like you may need to simply create a little template for their plugin if they aren’t using the standard ones (like page.php). And they don’t appear to have much in terms of online documentation for me to look at :(

Would you be able to open a ticket and send over the plugin so I can help you get things looking good? – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/support/

I was away for health reasons so I have a lot to catch up on. So I do appreciate the patience with this matter. Thank you!

Hey there,

thanks for getting back to me. We worked around this by just adding some custom CSS from the wrapper.

You can download Dokan here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/dokan-lite/

Maybe adding support for Dokan would be a nice feature / marketing key feature for your theme :)

It’s only the “stores-list” shortcode that was not working, the rest was fine.

Hi AJ,

The mobile menu toggle on https://www.fortadvocaten.nl/ doesn’t respond. Yet I see no warnings in console. is this a bug, or is it something we added?

Regards, Tonny

Hi Tonny,

I don’t see any issues either but I do see you are loading jQuery from a 3rd party service and not WordPress. I’m not sure if you are using a plugin or custom code for that, can you try loading the core jQuery script from your own WP server to see if it works with that?

Hi AJ. Is there anyway to create a metabox field that can be used to populate a sidebar area? I want to have an ‘info’ box for each post, that sits in the sidebar, but of course the content will be different for each post. I know how to use your metabox system to create new fields, but am not sure if it’s possible to have this feed into a sidebar widget?

Hi,

So basically you need to create a new Widget that you will add to your sidebar and will look to see if the meta field is empty and if not display it’s content. It wouldn’t bee to hard. Example:

class Meta_Info_Widget extends WP_Widget {

    /**
     * Sets up the widgets name etc
     */
    public function __construct() {
        $widget_ops = array( 
            'classname' => 'info_widget',
        );
        parent::__construct( 'info_widget', 'Info Widget', $widget_ops );
    }

    /**
     * Outputs the content of the widget
     *
     * @param array $args
     * @param array $instance
     */
    public function widget( $args, $instance ) {
        if ( $info = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'meta_key', true ) ) {
            echo wp_kses_post( $info );
        }
    }

    /**
     * Outputs the options form on admin
     *
     * @param array $instance The widget options
     */
    public function form( $instance ) {
        // outputs the options form on admin
    }

    /**
     * Processing widget options on save
     *
     * @param array $new_instance The new options
     * @param array $old_instance The previous options
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
        // processes widget options to be saved
    }
}

add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
    register_widget( 'Meta_Info_Widget' );
});

Love theme Total! I think you already helped me once but I have forgotten how to do this.

I want to make my post series archive page here https://thencmarriage.com/post-series/articles/ display titles in one column like the do here https://thelovesafetynet.com/post-series/verbal-abuse/ .

I also need to get the post series box off the top of each post ASAP.

If you click through on any post here https://thelovesafetynet.com/post-series/verbal-abuse/ you can see I have already done this on one site but can’t remember how.

I am basically just using post series as an index page.

Thanks if you can help.

I had to turn post series off at https://thencmarriage.com/post-series/articles/ sorry as it was messing up all the articles on the website. I am sure you will still understand what I am trying to do. On the site I am working on the archive page has three columns with the far right column empty. I just want one column full page like the example above at https://thelovesafetynet.com/post-series/verbal-abuse/ . Thanks!!!

I understand you haven’t answered as I haven’t renewed my support. The Australian dollar is down and so it ups the price for us here. I figured out I should be using tags anyway and the columns are okay on the tags page. If it helps anyone the plugin ‘post types order’ will allow you to manually reorder posts in a series.

Hi AJ,

Just to let you know: The latest WooCommerce update 3.4.5 messes up the themes shop layout. The buttons change and the tabs on the single product pages. Everything is fine with 3.4.4.

Hi,

The 3.4.5 update was a security and small bug fixes update, nothing layout-wise has changed. I have already checked it myself and didn’t see any issue. Maybe it’s a caching issue? Have you tried clearing your cache?

You were right. It was just a cache issue. Thanks!

Hello, I am using Polylang plugin to create a multilingual site. For the second or third language pages, I want to retain all the image, slides elements as they are in the first language pages and only translated the text. But I have one problem: the new translated pages do not load anything from the mother language page, like I have to start creating a fresh page just in another language. Is this the problem of Polylang? What can I do for this?

To copy the page over in Polylang you need to duplicate the content – https://polylang.pro/doc/duplicating-content-across-post-translations/ – is this not working for you?

Hello AJ, Thanks. I have found the way to solve this. Anyway thanks a lot. Here I have another problem. I got some error message from the theme. The system shows that ‘There is 1 error which must be fixed before you can update this file.’ in ‘style.css’ . I could not explain with words but I do not know how to put screening photo here….I do not know how to fix it. Thanks.

Hello AJ, I filled in one ticket. Hope this helps. Today another new problem just showed up. I could not disable the page header title. I tried several time but all failled. But instead, I could change from disable page tiltle to set as default. Could this relate to the error report?

Hi,

Regarding blog page the featured image is too close to main top navgation. How can I add top-margin to featured image as default to all blog pages?

Regards

Hi,

I just replied to your newer comment, please have a look.

Hello AJ,

For the 1st time I’ve modified the top of my homepage, from an overlay header row (with background image) to a standard header and a top row with a color background.

Strangely, this top row displays after all other content of this page (which is then pushed down), and I’ve haven’t found anyithing that could explain that (even re-creating a top row …).

Capture : http://www.pnet.fr/first-row-delay.mp4

The page : https://culture-officer.fr

Michel

Also, I’ve noticed that the delay displaying the row is reduced when it’s not streched (but the rest below still shifts down with a delay)

The shift is caused by this custom css on your site:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1649px) {
    div#site-header-sticky-wrapper { margin-top: 50px; }
}

The sticky wrapper isn’t added until the site is fully loaded because the theme needs to know the dimensions of your header logo and other data prior to initializing the sticky header function. If you wanted to add a space to the top of your site instead target the body tag:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1649px) {
  body { padding-top: 50px; }
}

Hi mates, how can i change the top bar in your theme? (bar with menu and logo) I want the logo on top and menu options in the other line. Menu option A Menu option B Menu option C Menu Option D etc..

LOGO

Thanks mates!

thanks man ;)

Bro other thing, how can i hide a theme? i don’t know my clients know that i’m using a theme. If i use this: https://www.wpthemedetector.com/ and insert my website, will appears the theme lol

Best regards

I believe there are some plugins you can use (Google “Hide WP”) but my recommendation is to simply make a child theme with the name of the client website as the theme name this way it looks more custom ;)

Hello,

I’m having an issue with the Total theme. A recently updated plugin will no longer lazy-load products on the order form page. I have contacted the plugin developer and they’ve found that the loading issue is caused by some conflict between the plugin and the theme. I’ve asked if this is something they can fix, though they’ve explained that it’s much easier for the author of the theme to create a fix. They too have suggested that the issue is probably being caused by a setting/few lines of code on the theme that is preventing the products from loading. Please can you help.

Latest Total and WP. I often use the “single image” module to provide image (lightbox) galleries. As expected, the lightbox gallery appears when the user clicks on the single image. However, nothing suggests to the user that clicking on the image he could see the gallery. There is no visual hint, no visible clue about that. Any other Total user having this (little) problem? Any ideas about possible “solutions”, other than permanently writing somewhere “click to see gallery”?

If you use the “Image” module instead which is a custom Total module you can enable an overlay for a visual “hint” on hover – https://cl.ly/e97ffab31f24

Now if what you want is to show an icon NOT on hover, you could create a custom Overlay for this – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/create-new-overlay-styles/ – that you can select from. Or you can add a custom classname to the module (easier) then use the ::before or ::after pseudo tags to insert a visual queue. I can assist with that if needed.

Hi folks! I am still using your wonderful Total theme and have recommended it to others. Do you know when the next update will be issued? I still adhere to your advice to not update WPBakery until compatibility is indicated in the changelog. I’m using the last version of WPBakery announced to be compatible with Total 4.7 but that pesky plugin says that “it must” be updated.

Awesome, I’m glad you like it. This is AJ the theme developer. Unfortunately i’ve been away for almost a month due to some personal health issues but I’m getting better. An update should be ready soon. In terms of the notice, you shouldn’t bee seeing any because Total disables the notices from WPBakery. So that’s strange…Unless you are using a multi-site installation.

Looks like the new WPBakery update was released Today so I can test it out locally and push it out to you guys ;)

Hi,

I have some problem with changing the font color, or any element I think. On Visual Composer or Appearance>Customize when I want to choose the color the option looks dissabled. Can you see why is it?

Thank you.

Carles

Hi Carles,

The color picker is a WordPress function if it isn’t working it’s because a 3rd party plugin breaking it. Can you try disabling plugins to test?

Hi! When i try to install the plugin in import corporate demo, the link are wrong, please if can fix them, thanks

Hi,

Sorry I don’t understand what “link” you are referring to? Are you using this plugin to import the demo instead of the built-in demo importer? https://wordpress.org/plugins/one-click-demo-import/

Hello AJ, hoping you’re fine. I noticed that the majority of social icons (twitter, facebook, pinterest and more) disappeared lately from the top bar, the footer and the sidebar. Maybe is there a problem with them?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Bob

Ok, the problem was caused by my adblocker. Sorry for the disturb. I hope everything is fine. Thank you,

Bob

Hi AJ,

I used the staff function from the theme in combination with VC to show the content on a page. http://www.bureaulommer.nl/over-ons/

When you hover over the linkedin, phone and mail icons you will see that the mail-icon also shows the phonenumber. Though in the backend these fields are filled out just fine.

Looks like a bug. Can you fix?

Cheers! Tonny

Hi Tonny,

This is a known bug, I am pushing out the fix today and updated Total version 4.7.1. Here is the fixed file though if you want to update manually in the meantime, simply replace under Total/framework/post-types/staff – https://cl.ly/cfe850e8aebc

Yes, this fixed things. Thanks!

I have a need to open an external URL same website in a bootstrap modal window with simple html link and wanted to know if you had any snippets or functions that help with that becasue I looked and did not find any? thank you in advance

Hi,

This is actually an advanced function so I don’t have a snippet for that. You can use the built-in lightbox to open a custom URL as an “iFrame” – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-ilightbox-popups-inline/

But depending what you want you may want to look into using a popup plugin instead.
