Afternoon,
I use stretch row for my above the fold content. I’ve noticed after the last update to theme loading of stretched rows has been slow – very slow. It looks awkward. I’m trying to figure out what the core issue is… If you would take a look. You’ll see the awkward row load. Let me know what you think I should do.
As always, thanks!!!
http://simplyconfirm.com/software/task-manager/landing-task-manager-a/The stretch row function uses javascript as mentioned in the green notice here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/full-screen-rows/ – which means they don’t stretch until your site is fully loaded. So if it’s taking a long time it’s because your site itself is taking along time to load. However, when looking at your site it loaded almost instantly for me (0.33) seconds.
Ok thanks!
And one more question:
how can I add the SOCIAL MEDIA icons and links that are shown in the TOP BAR to the footer instead? How to manage the footer content anyway (it is only possible to write a copyright)?
Thanks again.
Where exactly in the footer? Because you can use the included social widgets to add social links to the footer.
Hi! Is it possible to have the blog section in the homepage? And if yes, could I show only certain categories?
Thanks
Another question: could I use a menu in the topbar?
- Yes by default the homepage in WordPress always displays your latest posts, in fact to show a custom page you have to tweak things at Settings->Reading.
- There is an option built-in to exclude categories, but you can also use 3rd party plugins if you prefer.
- There is a very simple menu in the topbar (doesn’t support dropdowns) that you can use.
Hi there!
I have a question reg. the PORTFOLIO GRID:
I have activated EQUAL HEIGHTS, but that does not affect the height of the “excerpt box” (the text box beneath the chosen picture).
How can I create a nice looking grid that has equal heights for “picture + text” (no matter how long that text is)?
Thanks for the help (pls explain as easy as possible, I am totally new to using wordpress unfortunately)
Achim
Hi Achim,
The equal heights option should do exactly what you need, however, if you have enabled the masonry grid or the category filter then this function won’t work 
If you can show me the URL in question I can provide you with the best solution (in my opinion).
Is it possible to replace the footer call out with a widgetized area? I would like to put a newsletter sign up there…
Thanks.
P.S Love this theme! Really impressed with the documentation!
Resolved. I ended up turning off the call out and using the provided footer builder to do exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Awesome, glad you figured out a solution that works for you 
I am glad you like my theme! If you don’t mind taking a second and rating the theme, I will really appreciate it
(ratings are found in your “downloads” in ThemeForest). Thanks!

Hi the visual composer didn’t install The system says
Impossibile copy the file. js_composer/assets/css/ui-custom-theme/less/jquery.ui.tooltip.less
This is a server error (sounds like it may have timed out). Can you try removing the plugin files that did get installed from the site and installing it manually?
Is there a way to add content to the area on the right of the logo in the Header style One? I’m trying to do something like this: http://screencast.com/t/exxdUw4TXQb
You can use header style 2 which has an area to the side. Otherwise the best way to add content to the header is via an action hook – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/action-hooks/ – please see the example at the bottom.
sorry, i forget to ask too if there is a launch page too (counter before opening)
thanks
Sorry I am not sure what you mean by “counter before opening” do you have an example?
thanks for the fast answer, i mean , something similar to http://codecanyon.net/item/countdown-pro-for-websiteseventsproducts-launch/5495472
There is an under construction function but there isn’t any built-in counter (yet – I will add one in the future).

hello,
Sorry it’s a presales questions. I’m interesting to make an multilangual website. is this template compatible with po file ? May i use easily polylang or wpml ?
Thanks for your answer Christophe
Hi Christophe,
The theme includes .po and .mo files and customers both use WPML and Polylang with Total. And all the customizer settings that need translating are already defined for both the plugins so you can translate them.
I don’t have a lot of docs for WPML, but here is the link to the main page for the translation docs – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/translating-theme-options/ – you can see more docs on the left side.
thanks you very much.
i use more polylang in fact
I am trying to implement a gallery of single images that load a custom lightbox of multiple images, just like your ‘Gallery Lightbox’ example on this page: http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/base/visual-composer/advanced-lightbox/
While this works fine on non-mobile devices, both my images and your example cause an issue on an iPhone. If you touch the image to scroll the screen, it launches the lightbox. This doesn’t happen for the other three examples on your ‘advanced lightbox’ page – just the ‘Gallery Lightbox’ example. Is there any way to fix this? On portrait iPhone screens, my main images are full screen with no gaps between (which is what I want), so there is no other area to touch to scroll.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Can you be of any assistance on this? Thanks Rob
Hi Rob,
This issue has to do with the fact that the theme uses an onTouch event to trigger the galleries otherwise it won’t work on mobile 
I added to my list of bugs to fix though. Hopefully I can manage some sort of fix for the next update.
Thanks so much for your help. I don’t suppose you have any idea as to the likelihood and timing of a fix do you?
Hopefully sometime in the next 1-2 weeks. It could be tomorrow, to be honest I don’t like to give ETA’s because often times things come up, such as a a huge surge of support requests or crucial updates and I don’t get the time to finish something. So I rather not let you down by giving you a set ETA.
But it should definitely get fixed within the next 1-2 updates!
Question – Is it possible to make it a double sidebars? I’d like to have 2 on the right
By default there isn’t a double sidebar layout, the main reason is because this isn’t very good responsively. Of course it would be easy to add a new sidebar area and tweak the CSS to make it fit, but it would require some child theme tweaks.
Hi,
I just noticed when I click on the pin it social share button underneath my client’s blog it pulls up the paragraph tag and the first paragraph of the blog with a closing paragraph tag in the description area for Pinterest. I’m currently using the Yoast SEO plugin but even after I turn the plugin off, I get the same result. Is there anyway to get it to pull up the title or at minimum at least take away the paragraph tags with the text? Thanks!
Hi, first of all, I love this theme. It has everything, but it’s still simple to adjust.
But something strange just happened. The Customize page just blank all of a sudden. I’ve tried to uninstall the theme and install it again but it’s still just a blank page (I just see the heading and the Save-button). What can have happened? I can do the most adjustment in my css in the top field (which is so much easier than a child theme) but I need do add different logotypes for retina and mobil and don’t know how to do that now.
And for your knowledge, I have found some bugs.
I changed the name of the Portfolio using Post Type Editor. The category pages stopped working after that. Just got a 404 if I tried view the pages. They started working again after I took away my altered named slug. There’s no problem with an alternative slug on the actually portfolio page.
If I split a row into 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4, then change it to 2/4 + 1/4 + 1/4, the first half looks great in Visual composer, but when viewed otherwise it’s a full row and the two 1/4 are on the next row. Work if it’s 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4. The same happen if it 1/6 + 4/6 + 1/6 instead of 1/6 + 2/3 + 1/6.
Customizer: Please follow the guide here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/troubleshooting-customizer/
Portfolio: Did you re-save your permalink settings after altering the slugs?
Row: Not sure I understand, can you show me a screenshot of your settings and the URL of the live site so I can inspect the columns?
Hi,
Thanks for the great Total Theme ! I’ve few questions regarding the customization of the widgets.
• How can I change the appearance of the widget total modern menu style on this page http://clubfaceseinesaintdenis.fr/le-club-dentreprises/ • How can I change the appearance of the accordion style on this page ? http://clubfaceseinesaintdenis.fr/nos-objectifs/ • How can I change the appearance of the portfolio categories on this page http://clubfaceseinesaintdenis.fr/nos-projets/Thanks a lot for your reply !

Hi. I am designing my client’s website with Total Theme, and I am trying to filter the portfolio content, but the theme (or the browser – not sure) is not allowing me to filter. Please check this image to understand exactly what’s going on: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t31.0-8/p600x600/11130383_10153834886079418_8319405576465500599_o.jpg
I tried to update Woocommerce within the Total theme and suddenly Woocommerce was gone altogether from the Admin page and also from the list of installed plugins. My complete shop is gone. The shop page now just shows the homepage. I also have Woocommerce Bookings installed which also needed an update. When trying this it says that Woocommerce is installed but not activated and points to a page with required plugins. When trying to activate Woocommerce it shows “The plugin does not have a valid header.” What can I do? This is urgent as customers have no access to my shop and I’m running a promotion at the moment.
The Theme Panel is also gone.
I’m working within the visual composer. I no longer receive a choice when attempting to filter either staff or portfolios by category. The Include Categories Exclude Categories options have no fields below them and are simply listed in plain text. Please help as quickly as possible.
Thanks!
Hello,
The icons are no longer functional on the site for some reason. It has almost like a place holder.
site is as follows: www.weddingsnmedia.com If you scroll through the site you will notice places that would have had icons are replaces with some sort of a symbol that and some letters (such as F0 4B )
Please advise
This will happen if your Visual Composer is outdated please update as mentioned here – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/updating-visual-composer/
There is also a new Total theme version now – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/
Is it possible to either:
1) Change the Arrow Navigation on the Carousels to use the Owl centered dots instead?
2) Override the VC Owl Theme Styling for the dots. It’s possible to get a carousel with dots by using the VC Element called Post Grid, but the dot styles are wrong and I am having trouble figuring out where to override them.
Also, is it possible to add the Mobile Visibility settings to the VC Post Grid Element.
- Change the Arrow Navigation on the Carousels to use the Owl centered dots instead?
I added this in the last update 2.1.0 – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/changelog/
- Override the VC Owl Theme Styling for the dots. It’s possible to get a carousel with dots by using the VC Element called Post Grid, but the dot styles are wrong and I am having trouble figuring out where to override them.
What do you mean the “styles” are wrong? If you want to change their design you will have to use custom css – http://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/making-css-edits/
- Also, is it possible to add the Mobile Visibility settings to the VC Post Grid Element.
Simply add your Post Grid into it’s own row then you can use the Visibility options from the row.
Hi,
I tried sending a couple of messages to your email, but I am not receiving any answer…
I’ve got two problems:
1) Visual Composer not working in the front end editor. After making all the possible checks, I’ve discovered this happens only when I activate Woocommerce plugin. If I deactivate it, Visual Composer will work fine for the front end editor too.
2) Since the last update of your theme, the mobile menu is not showing the drop-down navigation links. That means it is impossible to navigate using the menu on a smartphone. This issue also replicates using Opera browser for PC or Safari on Mac, when minimized the window. It works fine for Chrome only when “toggle” option is selected in stead of sidebar. – I have the “Main” option selected for Mobile Alternative – I tried changing from toggle to sidebar view and vice-versa and both the smartphones and Opera will always show the sidebar view. Chrome shows both, but only toggle is functional.
How can be solved these two issues, please? I will appreciate receiving a quick reply.
Update> I tried deleting the caches several times both on the browsers and on the website (I did it before too) and it looks like now, after many attempts, at least the toggle view is available for smartphones and Opera too. Not the sidebar view though!
Another issue I forgot to mention.
PROBLEM #3 This is an old issue I came speaking with you about, since November 2014. I’ve been said this would be solved in following updates, but it isn’t. The parallax effect on smartphones (and Opera too). Now, not only it doesn’t work, but it places the images in a weird manner. Some of them are even missing… Do you have a definitive fix for that please?
