Hi, my sidebars do not work. I’m on all the latest versions of WordPress, the Borderland theme and all plugins. I’ve changed the line of code in sidebar.php and checked the widgets but still cannot get the sidebars to display.

Hello,

Thank you for purchasing our theme!

Please make sure that you navigate to Elated Options > Blog > Blog Lists and Blog Single and set the Archive and Category Sidebar, and Sidebar Layout to no sidebar.

Also please navigate to and edit the page in question and scroll down to Elated Sidebar and make sure that Layout option is set to blank.

If none of this shows the sidebar you need to navigate to Appearance > Widgets > Sidebar widget area and make sure that it has widgets set within it.

Hope this helps! If not please submit a ticket to our support forum and include your website URL along with wp-admin access and one of our support agents will assist you.

I already have all the settings turned on that you listed above. I double checked them and everything looks ok but I’m still not seeing the sidebars. I have 4 licenses for the Borderland theme but I think the support has expired for them all.

Hello again, is it possible on single product page to have the description full width? even if css is needed? i would prefer the “description text to be above the writing… i have a lot of info about my items, so need full width for what i want. thank you

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

Unfortunately, the native design options do not provide such a feature, because single shop page uses some predefined layout and that can be changed only with some custom coding.

Hi! I’ve installed a copy of the theme last update in my local environment to test that everything’s working fine and I’m having problems with the YOAST SEO plugin. If this plugin is activated, the links on the website (menus, buttons, etc.) are not working, when I click on them an ajax error is being shown in the console. On the previous versions of the theme, this wasn’t happening.

Could you tell me if this has something to do with the theme or the plugin? I didn’t have this error before updating.

Thank you, regards.

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

We have just tested this out on our end and everything works just fine. This may be something on your end that needs checked, it is not possible to provide exact reason or solution for this without checking within your back-end. But since you are using local server, unfortunately, we’re not in a position to check this.

Anyhow, it is possible that something was uploaded wrong or something is corrupt with your WP install, so try to download a fresh copy of the theme and install it. Then re-install all required plugins.

Thank you so much for your response. I managed to solve the problem: I had activated the option Elated Options > Visual Composer > Enable Grid Elements. Because of this, a message was being shown in the General tab of Elated Options, which said that transitions wouldn’t work because VC Grid was activated. What I did was deactivated it and then enable it again. I’m not sure why but this worked. Maybe this setting needs to be updated in order to load properly Ajax instance (or something related to it).

Regards.

Hello again,

You’re welcome. We are glad you manged to solve it.

Is it possible to add social sharing buttons for the portfolio images?

Hello,

Thank you for taking interest in our theme!

As you can see in the following screenshot, you can enable / disable social sharing for pages, post or portfolio items through Theme Options → Social → http://postimg.cc/hXJFK11H

Also, you can try to achieve it by using this 3rd party plugin for that → https://wordpress.org/plugins/addthis/ some customers have suggested it but we haven’t tested it yet.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Hello there Thank you very much for your support Your advice did work to get back our SSL certificate back on track. During this process we realized the issue we had with our menu navegation was actully due to the flash player. Here I have a big concern, since I have noticed a few messages on chrome where they say Flash Player will be out of service soon and the browser will not longer support this. What will be the way to be prepare for this? will you guys be able to support us? I wasn´t aware the menu navegation had any relation with the flash player Looking forward to hear from you And thank you so much again for your support :)

You’re welcome! Glad we could help!

The flash player message you have seen is shown simply because we included that as an option for the browser to play the background video you have setup. Of course, this is only one of the options and once the flash player is not supported anymore the browser will simply switch to a different option of playing the video.

If there is anything else that we can assist you with please don’t hesitate to ask.

Hi, Could you help me to vertically center columns in a row with visual composer, please ? I have 2 photos on the left and on the right. Text is in the middle. I would like the text to be centered vertically between the 2 photos. It is possible with VC ? Thank you ;)

Hello again,

Hello have you a demo online please ?

Hello,

Thank you for writing in. Yes, here is our demo website you should check https://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland/

Best, Elated

I have a thin white horizontal line (like 1 pixel) on the bottom edge of my header. I’ve played with every setting possible and nothing seems to get rid of it. www.explorizona.com

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

I’ve just checked this out on your website and it seems like you managed to solved this issue. As you can see in the following screenshot, there is no any horizontal line below the header area.

Screenshot → http://postimg.cc/fVHsZqGG

If the problem persists, please provide us with some screenshot so we could reproduce that issue on our end.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks for responding. I was able to finally get it resolved after posting. Turned out it wasn’t in the theme settings anywhere. It was something Visual Composer was doing. Solution was to add an “Empty Space” element at the top of that page and set it to -1 in case anyone else seeing this is having a similar issue.

Hello again,

I’m glad you managed to solve it.

I have the borderland theme and use the version Sierra. What is the name of this slider at the index page?

And where I can get it? Or is it the Layer Slider??

Hello,

Thank you for taking interest in our theme!

We used Elated Slider on this demo page → https://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland1/ and that slider comes with our demo, so you just need to run import this demo after installing the theme.

Hello ! I have a request. I want my menu to look like this one https://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland9/ . I have uploaded this theme and the menu is different. Is there a way to have it like this directly ( the width, elements seperator, the Opening and hover Behaviour, font…) or do i have to make changes on my own ?

Thank you for your response :) Okay, one last question if you can answer it or i will add it to the ticket. I have a left side menu and my content page display behind my menu. I activated the button “Always put content below header” and still can’t fix it. Is there another option to make my content page beside my left menu ?

Hello,

As you can see on this demo page → https://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland9/about/ where we enabled left side menu, by default, all content on that page is showing beside of Left side menu area.

So, this may be something on your end that needs checked, it is not possible to provide exact reason or solution for this from comments section so please do open a support ticket with our team and we will gladly assist → https://elated.ticksy.com

Also, note that “Always put content below header” option has been intended for Standard Herder type and if you enable it the content will be displayed behind the header menu area. It this way you could get transparent menu, like we did here → https://demo.elated-themes.com/borderland1/

Hello! I haven’t updated my template this year, so i saw there was lot of new. After updating my parent template yesterday my page crushed and gave me only “white screen of death” with error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function eltd_wp_title() in /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-content/themes/borderland-child/header.php:6 Stack trace: #0 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-includes/template.php(722): require_once() #1 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-includes/template.php(671): load_template(’/home/nenbefree…’, true) #2 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-includes/general-template.php(41): locate_template(Array, true) #3 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-content/themes/borderland/full_width.php(6): get_header() #4 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-includes/template-loader.php(78): include(’/home/nenbefree…’) #5 /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-blog-header.php(19): require_once(’/home/nenbefree…’) #6 /home/nenbefreei/www/index.php(17): require(’/home/nenbefree…’) #7 {main} thrown in /home/nenbefreei/www/wp-content/themes/borderland-child/header.php on line 6

Now I downgraded back to older template version (and it’s working). It doesn’t seem to be related with plugins. I asked help from my friends and they all recommended me to find a new template because this one doesn’t to work properly anymore. :( I still like your template and would love to find a solution for keeping it.

I also saw you have made a update for a child template, how I can upload it without loosing my changes?

I hope you find a time to answer me, With best regards, Elo

Hello,

Please note that we had to change function names in the latest update, according to Themeforest requests – therefore, your customization in the child theme does not work anymore, but this should be easy to fix. You just have to change function name prefixes from ‘elated’ to ‘borderland_elated’ in your child theme.

So the function name ‘elated_is_native_font’ should be changed to ‘borderland_elated_is_native_font’ in your child theme functions.php file.

You can install child theme just like you install any wp theme – choose borderland-child.zip in the folder with the installation files that you downloaded from Theme forest and activate it.

Before that save on your computer all files that you’ve added / modified within current child theme, so you would be able to re-add that custom code / css into updated child theme.

Thanks & Regards,
Elated

Thank you for your quick response. I will try it and let you know how it worked! Have a nice day and thank you again!

You’re welcome. ;)

Hello, in the Elated Options, i imported by error ALL insted of CONTENT, and i thought if i do the action twice, the CONTENT will replace ALL. And now i have all components duplicated. Can you please tell me how can i remove the imported files so i can start again ?

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

You can use some 3rd party plugin to reset your wp database, but it may be best that you submit a new ticket regarding this issue and our support team will gladly assist you with that → https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-database-reset/

Hi since I updated the theme my FOOTER has a height of 1785 px !!! And I don’t understand how to solve it can someone help me? thank you

Hello again,

This happened on your site because you’ve set Line Height to 25 in Theme Options → Footer → Footer Top Text Style → http://postimg.cc/mcbR34nq If you leave that field blank, you will be able to remove previously added custom css for that. Screenshot → http://postimg.cc/BXr2nYzt

Sean, I really can’t justify renewing the support subscription again at the moment. Although I appreciate all that you guys do, you take so long to get back to my tickets, that I wasn’t even able to get through all the issues I have been having. Plus, Layer Slider and WP Bakery is constantly requiring updating, and for some reason, I can never successfully update these plugins without assistance. I will have to end up buying the licenses for these so I can do auto updates through WP.

A big problem, I noticed that my widget sidebar areas are gone, they just stopped showing. The widget settings have been selected to show since day one and were not changed. This happened with the last theme update. I would appreciate it if you would please address this issue. I do intend on eventually renewing support, but it took literally days and up to a week to hear back from you guys on a regular basis. I need the theme to show the widget sidebar area as it did before as it contains information that is vital to my site visitors. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

1. All tickets in our support forum are assigned by our support agents and they are answered from oldest to newest, and usual response time is up to 24h and it might vary depending on number of tickets.

2. Regarding the Layer slider and WP Bakery PB plugin, please note that WP Bakery (Visual Composer) and Layer Slider come with our theme as bundled plugin via extended licence we have bought. More about it can be found in this article https://elated.ticksy.com/article/10866/ and also there is another useful link on Envato about bundled plugins in that article.

So, WP Bakery and LayerSlider will work fine for you, just ignore messages and warning about activation of it.

3. It is possible that something was uploaded wrong or something is corrupt with your WP install.

Download a fresh copy of the theme and install it. Then re-install all required plugins. Make sure that you’ve installed the latest version of Core plugin as well.

In major update, we had to move widgets inside core plugin because of latest WordPress codding standards, and integration was required by Theme Forest. Widgets are now probably inactive when you access Appearance > Widgets so you will have to add them to correct widget areas. In case that you can load backup I suggest to use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/ to backup widgets, and in case that they disappear after the update, you can import them again.

Thanks & Regards,
Elated

hello I am having the same issue as silvereye546 . I’ve been using this theme for a while now. and my support has expired. But when I try to update a portfolio/post it says page not found

Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that something has not been installed/adjusted correctly, or it can be hosting related. Also, it is possible that some 3rd party plugin is causing that issue on your end.

There are five major reasons why these errors occur in WordPress:

- Incorrect web server configuration - Incorrect folder/file permissions - Corrupt files or files that contain errors in code - PHP memory limits set too low - Conflicting third party plugins

You can go to your WP Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks and then reset / save changes.

Also, please take a look at this article about minimum PHP sever resources here → https://elated.ticksy.com//article/12856

If the problem persists try to deactivate all of your plugins to make sure they are not causing this issue. If the issue goes away, then you can enable them one by one to find out which one is causing the issue. If you still have issues after you have deactivated all of your plugins, please try to download a fresh copy of the theme and install it. After that please don’t remember to re-install all required plugins as well.

Thanks & Regards, Elated

Guys… I gotta say. This theme has become an absolute nightmare. Incredibly buggy and I feel I’m constantly struggling to keep it even working.

Anyhow, it is possible that something has not been installed/adjusted correctly, or it can be that some 3rd party plugin causes this issue.

I’ve been using this theme for about 4 years. I use it on 2 different sites that are pretty minimal. Fresh WP, fresh theme install, and a few dozen photos uploaded and 3-5 pages. Simple setup. Worked great for a long time. Now in the last year I get constant “page not found” when updated pages through my WP backend and other weird behaviors. WP is updated, newest update of theme is installed, only the plugins that the theme requires and google analytics plugins installed.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear about this bad experience lately. Please, note that WP also released major updates and problem with page not found is usually server related. We will gladly check if there is anything you are facing off now. So, please, reach us here https://elated.ticksy.com/ and include your wp-admin access and member of our support team will investigate and assist you there.

Is there a way to disable the integrated lightbox? I have installed Justified Image Grid and looks like the them is overwriting their lightbox :(

Hello,

Thank you for writing in.

This would require changes in template files, specifically in JS files. Unfortunately we’re not in a position to modify our theme beyond default functionalities, so you might have to work this out yourself, or hire someone to help you with this.

Elated

Hello!

The client who I originally bought this theme for is suddenly in touch and concerned about the fact that the angle-right arrow icons on mobile nav for dropdowns are easily missable and not very obvious.

I have scoured the forum and comments and found the below css snippet that you advised someone else on how to change the icon to something else, or make it bigger, but it doesn’t work at all for me. I have tried a few variations with no luck.

Please could you advise on the correct css to change this?

I was hoping to use the chevron-circle-down icon: https://fontawesome.com/icons/chevron-circle-down?style=solid

This is what I tried:

nav.mobile_menu ul>li.has_sub>span.mobile_arrow i.fa-chevron-circle-down:before { content: ”\f13a”; }

And no luck!

If you can help it would be greatly appreciated!

Your original answer to someone else with the same issue…..

almost 3 years ago Hello,

If you want to enlarge the arrows, add this css in Elated Options -> General -> Custom CSS field:

nav.mobile_menu ul>li.has_sub>span.mobile_arrow i { font-size: 18px; } If you want to change the icon, use this css

nav.mobile_menu ul>li.has_sub>span.mobile_arrow i.fa-angle- right:before { content: ”\f150”; } and you just need to write the hex code of the icon you want for it.

Elated

Hi,

You didn’t use our code for customization, so please try again.

Elated

Hi yes I did – it’s exactly the same – you said change the content value so I did? The only difference is the icon name (fa-chevron-circle-down) and the hex value? (fa13a)?

If I put the code you put, it’s the same as what’s already there?

Hi,

This is how it looks like from our side with our code – https://bit.ly/2VTQy6a

Perhaps you need to try to place the CSS inside Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS field, or you may want to check hex value.
