I see you use your monitor at full size huh?

You can try and set the background to stretch – http://cl.ly/image/3s2Y3G2Q0j1a – but you may have similar problems, you’ll just need to test.

But remember, most users won’t be browsing the web on their 30+ inch monitors at full-screen.

Thanks.

I have a 20 inch display currently running at 1600×900. That said, the client I am working on this for is using a 15 laptop running at 1920×1080 and so that’s going to be a problem. Switching it to stretch again cuts off the top of the image, no luck there .

Hum, I have a 30in Mac display and don’t see the issue until it’s full-screen.

Basically there isn’t anyway around it, it’s just the nature of how these backgrounds work. You could consider enabling the Parallax function so you should always see the top, but it will cut off more of the bottom.

Honestly, backgrounds should just be there to pretty things up…

You could via CSS set the background size to 100% by 100% and it will always be visible but the proportions will look bad and be worse.

Maybe you could also consider using a different image for the background where the focus is more in the middle? Or using a higher quality larger image?

Thank you for the fix for IE. I look forward to the update! I appreciate it!

It isn’t every page but there are a few. The home page was the first one I noticed. It also happens on the The Enterprise Readiness Assessment and What is the Enterprise Readiness Assessment? page. If that will help you narrow things down.

I have just sent you login info via private email.

Just provide me all the info I need via email so I know once I get to your email There are 106 emails I need to get to before yours…hopefully I can get back to you soon enough! Thank you for your patience.

I sent it out in a private email with the last comment I made so it should be in your inbox. I understand! Hopefully you can find out what’s making VC have this problem. Thanks!

Yes, your demo site works fine now! Great, I send you a PM for the fix

Thank you for pushing me on this and helping me fix the issue!!!

LOL, I need to thank you! Problem solved!

Hi there,

Are you able to translate other theme strings correctly?

Did you try updating your fr_FR.po just incase it’s outdated and not registering the correct strings?

The title text for the Events Calendar is located at framework/config/tribe-events.php and as you can see they are localized correctly: http://cl.ly/image/3a1l3h1P1u1W

Hallo,
thank you for your reply.
In fact the code of the PHP file is not the same.
I’ll do first all updates and I will look after the fr_FR.po and the tribu_events.php file for the title text you’ve told me.
thank you again.

There isn’t a method for adding custom links to the Media Grid. I will suggest this to the Visual Composer author.

You have a couple options though:

1. You can use the Total Image Grid module instead which supports custom links and use the image title/description for that data.

2. Setup the logos using a custom post type such as the portfolio then use the redirect page setting to redirect the posts, then use the Post Grid instead – http://cl.ly/image/0g1I2I060i1t

thanks, option 1.) How do I include a hover effect showing the title and description? do i need custom css or is there an option in the visual composer? option 2) How do i set a new custom post type?

I have figured it out, thanks. My total theme was not updated, so the feature was not available.

I forgot to say, that im styling a button in a layer in the revolution slider plugin, that are included the theme

When you edit the styles it edits the wrapper around your content (which is a link) not the link itself.

I would recommend using one of the built-in theme button styles or creating your own via custom CSS by adding a classname to your link.

Or you can add inline CSS to style your link: http://cl.ly/image/1T1H1u0I2m2K

Thanks

Please read the warning message…it says “The Visual Composer plugin must be updated for this module to work correctly.”

I added this to prevent your site from breaking and making sure people update their plugin.

Please do so: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/

But you only have to do that once? Or do you have to keep doing it?

If it’s only 1x and its fine from then on, then I guess it’s not a huge deal, but definitely if I get some more people complaining I’ll check it out and see what could be wrong, so far I haven’t had anyone else have this issue and I tested locally on a new install without problems either

I just had to do it once so it’s not a huge deal yes

Simple go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Logo.

Then remove the currently set image logo, the fallback is the site title. Just like on this demo – http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/freelancer/

More info here: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/custom-logo/

Send me the URL so I can see the site and inspect it in my crossbrowser tester to see if there is an error in the console.

No need anymore. All probs are solved now. I have sent you an email about what I did. Thanks alot for your support!

Great, I will have a look

This has been fixet. It was not due to Total theme, but a plugin.

Great theme with many updates and good support. Deff recommending it!

Great, thanks for letting me know!

Here is the changelog: http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/agent/portfolio/

Here are the guides for updating: http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs-category/updates/

Forget what I wrote ….

Sorry I don’t understand the question…Are you trying to disable comments somewhere?

Yes. You can add this very easily using one of the theme action hooks in a child theme. I can give you a sample snippet, but please let me know exactly where you want this added. When I think of “above content” I assume you mean right under the header on all the pages…please confirm.

I have never used a child theme to be honest. But yes the ad area would be right beneath the title bar “blog” for example her: http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/base/tips-to-keep-your-office-neat/ Also is it possible with that it can be defined to a certain size so responsive ad code will function correctly?

So you would want to use the ‘wpex_hook_page_header_after’ hook.

For example:

function advertisement_under_header() { ?>
    <div class="container clr"> <!-- centers the content -->
        YOUR ADD CODE HERE
    </div>
<?php }
add_action( 'wpex_hook_page_header_after', 'advertisement_under_header' );

You can have a look at Total/framework/hooks/hooks.php to see all available hooks.

Here is an example child theme you can use – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/child-theme/

Using hooks is very easy but if you aren’t a developer you may want to hire someone to assist with this and save you some headaches.

This doesn’t make any sense to me…Literally every function in the parent theme should load when you are using a child theme.

Are you sure you didn’t disable the option at Theme Panel > Extend The Visual Composer? in your child theme?

crap! my mistake. that was it. thanks so much

No worries, I’m just glad it’s fixed up!

This is a WordPress issue. From what I read online it has to do with mod_security, can you try contacting your web host about this and see if they can assist you?

Hi, Thanks. Can you please tell me the exact code snippet I have to write into partials/blog/blog-entry-readmore.php in order to get the “read more” button displayed when there is a “more” tag in the content?

Just answered your last comment

sorry for multiple posting, had a issue on the pc

Hi, I cleared cache (IE v.11), your live site is ok, but the problem remain the same.

I actually looked into it and it was a theme bug and I fixed it on the live site and will release the fixed Total 2.1.2 tomorrow. If you want the updated file now send me a private message and I will email it to you.

-
You can message me privately via the form on this page – http://themeforest.net/user/WPExplorer – and I will respond via email. Make sure to send me all pertinent data and context so we can get this sorted in a timely manner. A link to the original comment works

Hi AJ,

I can wait for your new official release (2.1.2). The live site is perfect.

Great theme & Great Support !!

Thanks , Eugenio

Never mind, I discovered it is a plugin called Ultimate Tweaker (great plugin, by the way) that caused some jquery stuff to not work properly anymore. It must be some conflicting setting with the latest Total theme, because when I disable the plugin, Total works fine again. I’ll try and figure it out.

Yep, found it. In Options > Theme > Load jQuery from CDN > jQuery scripts from CDN, the setting “Only jQuery” conflicts with Total. When you choose the setting “jQuery and jQuery-migrate” all works fine again!

Oh yes, don’t ever load jQuery from a CDN if possible because it will also break a lot of plugins because usually the version of jQuery located in WordPress is different then the version loaded from a CDN.

Glad you got it working on your own

I’ll ask about WPE updating PHP and get back to you in a moment.

I called in and they are moving my sites to new servers with 5.5.

Sweet
