Hi,

Those are widgets that have been added to the “Book” sidebar. The sidebar widgets can be edited by either going to Appearance > Widgets or in the customizer by going to Appearance > Customize > Widgets.

Thanks Eugene. I’m have trouble finding a way to replace the background image on the homepage. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, but I haven’t gotten it yet or found it in the documentation. Thanks again!

The header image is added directly to the content row in the page builder, so the option is buried deep in the layout editor.

• Go to the page’s edit screen.
• Click the wrench icon in the top right corner of the first row of the layout builder.
• Select the Edit Row option from the list.
• In the Row Styles column on the right, select the Design tab.

- Eugene

Great, Thanks Eugene!

Hi,

1.) jquery.wssow.js is no longer used by the WebsiteSmash Widgets Bundle plugin. You should be able to fix this error by deleting the plugin and reinstalling. The latest version of the plugin is version 1.0.1.

Make sure to do a hard refresh of your homepage after reinstalling the plugin to clear your browser cache.

2.) The two plugins are separate. They add more widgets to the page builder so you only need either of them if you are using the widgets added by that specific plugin.

Hi,

Sorry for the slow response to your question.

The text that appears at the top of the About page on the Author demo is the Page Excerpt text. You can edit this text by going to the page’s edit screen, scrolling to the bottom and looking for the Post Excerpt text box. There’s a possibility the Post Excerpt text box isn’t visible because it’s not enabled. To enable the text box click on the Screen Options tab at the top of the Page Edit screen, then enable the Excerpt checkbox. The Page Excerpt text area should then be visible below the content editor.

Hi,

1.) You can add an image to page header on post archives in the Customizer by going to Appearance > Customize > Salisbury Theme > Post Archives and selecting an image in the “Header Background Image” option.

Note that the same image is displayed in the header of all post archive pages (blog index, categories, tags, etc).

2.) Assuming you disabled the slide down search overlay using the built in option you can be toggle it back on in the Customizer by going to Appearance > Customize > Salisbury Theme > Header and toggling the Header Search Form option.

If the site search was manually removed from the template files you’ll need to re-add the following elements to the template files:

• The search toggle icon in header.php (line 66-68)
• The search form in footer.php (line 132-134)

Feel free to reply in this thread if you need any further help.

Excellent. Got it working – thanks!

Hello, Eugene. I wrote to you earlier because there was a problem with viewing posts on the blog page: when you clicked on load more, it didn’t show you all the posts posted. The problem had solved itself. Now I uploaded a new post and the problem came back. I’d like to understand why.

This could be because of your browsers cache showing an older version of the page or because of a cache plugin not being refreshed when the new post is added.

1.) Clear your browser’s cache to ensure the newest version of the page is being loaded.

2.) If you have a cache plugin installed on your site, clear the plugin cache.

- Eugene

I did it. Now is ok and I know what I’ll have to do in the future. Thank you

No it’s not. Images and text stack on small screen devices.

Hello. I have a problem. How you can see, I wrote 10 blog post, but the page views only 9. Why? I verified general setting and it’s ok. Thank for your support

Now it works. I don’t know why, I didn’t do anything.

My bad; I just found the helpfix on that.

Hi,

If I understand the problem correctly you have added a background image to the row and then placed a slider inside that row so that it appears on top of the background image in the page header. This is fine.

However, when a ‘Background Image Display’ option is set to fixed (so that it doesn’t move as the page scrolls) the image is stretched to fill the entire browser width and height, not just it’s container. This is why it appears as if the image is zoomed in. This is how the background-attachment: fixed CSS property works and is not something being caused by the theme.

The solution is to not use the ‘Fixed’ option for the ‘Background Image Display’ setting. I think setting it to ‘Parallax’ might also cause the same issue.

You can download the latest version of the theme from the Downloads page of your ThemeForest account. When checking the current version of the theme that is installed on your website make sure you are looking at the parent theme version and not the child theme version.

There’s an explanation of how to update the theme in the theme’s readme.html file, but put simply you delete the existing version of the parent theme from your WordPress installation and upload the newer version.

I haven’t received an email from you yet. The contact form can be found by clicking our username on this post and then scrolling down our profile page until you see the contact form. It should look like this: https://imgur.com/a/6Y0o6T0

To fix the issue we need an admin username / password and a link to the login page so that we can login into your WordPress website and apply the CSS fix.

- Eugene

I sent a reply to your email yesterday evening. The login password you sent was incorrect so I wasn’t able to make the changes. Can you double check the login username and password and resend them?

- Eugene

I’ve added the code to your website fixing the PayPal button styling. If you have any other questions feel free to post a new comment here in the item’s comments section.

- Eugene

Hi,

This is a simple CSS fix. Place this in your child theme or the additional CSS option in the customizer.

input.wpedon_paypalbuttonimage {
    padding: 0;
    width: auto;
}

Hi,

Yes you can export a page’s layout and import it onto another or multiple pages:

• Go to the new page’s edit screen.
• Click on the “Layouts” button at the top of the page builder.
• Click the “Clone page’s” link.

Or…

• Go to the page’s edit screen.
• Click on the “Layouts” button at the top of the page builder.
• Select Import / Export from the left side of the popup window.
• Click the “Download Layout” button
• Then go to the new page.
• Click the “Layout” button.
• Select Import / Export from the left side of the popup window.
• Drop the import file into the upload area and follow the instructions.

If you only want to copy part of a page layout to several pages you could create a new unpublished page with just the layout section you want to reuse and then copy from the unpublished page each time you want to use that section of layout.

Hi. Sorry for the slow response.

Changing the domain of a WordPress site can be tricky and the added complication of the new Gutenberg editor can make it even more difficult.

I’m not sure why the page builder would not be active on some pages and without seeing exactly what’s going on in your website’s backend it’s difficult for me to even guess. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible to switch from the Gutenberg editor back to the classic editor to use the siteorigin page builder (although there is a SiteOrigin page builder block you can use with Gutenberg) so the only advice I can give is to recreate the pages where the page builder layout has been lost.

• On the page where the page builder has been lost, switch to the code editor and make a copy of any content on the page. If you’re lucky the SiteOrigin layout content will still be there.
• Create a new page using the SiteOrigin Page Builder.
• On the new page, click the “revert to editor” button, then switch to the “text” tab on the editor.
• Paste the content coped from the code view of the original page.
• Switch to the “Page Builder” tab on the content editor. You should see an alert asking if you want to copy the existing content over to the page builder. Click OK.

If that doesn’t work you’ll have to re-create the pages from scratch.

If you would like me to take a closer look at your websites backend please send login details via the contact form on our themeforest profile page. However, you might be able to get a more helpful answer to these plugin specific questions from the plugin’s support forum: https://siteorigin.com/thread/

Hi,

The option to change a background image is different depending on which background image you are trying to change.

The background image seen on this page (which I think is the type you are asking about) is set by changing the background image of the first row in the page builder on the page’s edit screen. We set the background image on the row instead of in the slider because we wanted the same background for all the slides and we wanted the background to fill the header section.

I hope that helps Eugene

Hi,

I’ll need to take a look at how you have the books arranged in the admin area. Can you send me admin login details via the contact form on our profile page (https://themeforest.net/user/websitesmash)? I’ll take a look and see if I can see what’s causing the problem.

- Eugene

Hi,

I’ve taken a quick look at your site to investigate the problem further. Unfortunately I don’t have a fix yet so I’ll have to continue testing things out today.

What I have found so far is that if you add a book to the Quick Reads series that that is already showing in another series the book (e.g. Deadly Gambit) the book will show up on the Quick Reads series archive. And the opposite happens if you try to add one of the books from the Quick Reads series to the Deadly Gambit series, the book does not show up. So at the moment I think think the problem is something in the specific books meta data that is preventing it from being shown on archive pages.

I’ll continue testing and get back to you when I figure out the issue.

EDIT:

I’ve figured out the problem. All the books that are added to a Book Series need to have a series number added on the Books edit screen. The number determines the order they are shown on the Series Archive. If the series doesn’t have an order you can just enter 0 or 1 and it should output them in the order the books were added to your website.

This does mean that it isn’t possible to add one book to two series, unless you are happy with the book having the same series number in both series.

- Eugene

Thanks so much! You’ve been a huge help.

Hi,

You have a lot of menu items so to access them all the user will have to scroll. The bottom links might be easier to access if you add some more padding to the bottom of the menu to compensate for the buttons that are at the bottom of the mobile browser:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
.siteHeader-nav .siteHeader-menu .wp-custom-menu 
{
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
}

Hi,

This is an issue with the SiteOrigin Page Builder plugin, not the theme.

The height of each slide in the slider widget you are using as your home page header is set using JavaScript. This is so that the slider height can adjust for the height of each individual slide instead of being one fixed height.

The slide heights cannot be calculated until the page content has completed loading otherwise the calculation would not be accurate. This results in the flashing effect you see on slower connections as the header “snaps” from 0 height to the correct calculated height.

I can’t think of a way that would completely eliminate the flashing effect but you can reduce it by giving the slider a min-height in CSS. This won’t be a perfect fix because the min-height will still snap to the correct height once the page has loaded:

.sow-slider-image {
min-height: 500px; /*Min slide height */
}

Alternatively you can try giving the slides a default height but this will have the same issues as setting a min-height:

.sow-slider-image {
height: 500px; /*Default slide height */
}

• Go to the home page’s edit screen. Select the Edit Row button and add the CSS to the CSS Styles text box.
• Go to Appearance > Customize in the admin dashboard and add the CSS to the Additional CSS option.
• Add the custom CSS to your child theme’s style.css.

- Eugene

You would have to code it manually using CSS.
