Search Results for 'child theme'

Thanks. Can I change that code on the child theme or does it have to be changed in the parent theme? I want my client to be able to update the parent theme without my intervention through the Envato Toolkit.

Hi Andrei / Support,

I found the source of my issue, and it ended up being the child theme in my case. I hadn’t updated the child theme files to the new ones that came with Newspaper v7. So I updated the child theme, and then copied over all of the custom code I made in the theme files.

Thank you for you help!

Cheers,

Thanks for the help. Yeah!! it was appearing because of child theme.

Hi

I’ve checked your site and found a js error which breaks search feature on mobile devices: http://screencast.com/t/xs7hTuArn
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.

Thanks!

Hi

Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css to change the color and position for pagination: http://screencast.com/t/nnZDncZh

.page-nav:first-child > div{
background-color: black;
}
.page-nav{
float: right;
}

Thanks!

They say to deactivate all your plugins, clear your cache and CDN files, and then go into the Theme Panel and click on the Save Settings button.

I tried all these options and it didn’t work. The only way I was able to make it work was by hiding it via CSS. That purple gradient is actually the Mobile Menu background.

Here is the CSS code that I used to hide that background on the Desktop and Tablet versions of the site, while still having it show for Mobile Phones.

/* -==========================- DESKTOP -==========================- */
@media only screen and (min-width:1024px) {
.td-menu-background:before { display: none; }
}

/* -==========================- TABLET -==========================- */
@media only screen and (min-width:640px) and (max-width:1023px) {
.td-menu-background:before { display: none; }
}

If using a Child theme or editing the main theme, place that CSS at the very bottom of the Stylesheet (style.css). Again, this was the only way I was able to remove it while still allowing it to work on phones. Hope this helps you.

As you can see…by hiding it on the desktop version, it no longer shows. https://i.imgsafe.org/ef2118f.jpg

I found a way by just eliminated the top posts from each category and adding the shortcode to the proper template in my child theme:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_3 category_id="' . $thisid . '"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>

That’s usually why I try it with default WP theme on your current location; if it doesn’t work with the default WP theme, it won’t work with TagDiv theme either, regardless of whether main or child theme. SO, it’s part of debug process, to eliminate one possible culprit.

It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.

🙂

Chris:
Thank you very much. I’ve already made use of some of your very thoughtful and helpful posts on these forums.

Since I am copying over the exact functions and rss template from prior theme, where I know it works, then the reason it’s not working now is specific to this theme. Even if my new feed were not working on this theme, then wouldn’t this code remove the feed all together?

remove_action( ‘wp_head’,’feed_links’, 2 );
remove_action( ‘wp_head’,’feed_links_extra’, 3 );

I see you even posted that code (with additional lines – which I tried as well) to remove the feeds from the header. I’ll try it on the main theme functions file and see if that works…since you’ve said it may not work on NP child theme.

Thanks.

I had the exact same issue this morning when I updated to v7.0. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what the heck this gradient bar was on the left side of the screen. I hid it via CSS, and then figured out about an hour later that this was the background for the new mobile menu. I ended up just adjusting my CSS as I couldn’t figure out as to why this was showing on the Desktop version. Here is what I used in the CSS of my Child theme:

/* -==========================- DESKTOP -==========================- */
@media only screen and (min-width:1024px) {
.td-menu-background:before { display: none; }
}

/* -==========================- TABLET -==========================- */
@media only screen and (min-width:640px) and (max-width:1023px) {
.td-menu-background:before { display: none; }
}

This hid the menu from showing up on the Desktop and Tablet versions of the site, but still showed up on the Mobile Phone version. If you don’t want it hid on the tablet version, then just leave that out and just use the top section for Desktops. This was the only way that I could figure out how to remove it as I couldn’t find any info on it.

Not theme specific, so that’s why you got a “canned” answer from the staff here. They don’t always have time to fix unrelated WordPress issues or do custom programming for you, since that isn’t part of the theme — hacking WordPress is not theme related, so sometimes better done elsewhere or by Google Search.

Just as FYI, for most stuff like that — in my own experience — it often does not work with child themes, which is why I personally don’t use child themes due to the various mish-mash of redirects and over-rides.

Tip for hacking WordPress:
a) start with default WP theme; add your custom function to default theme to get it to work.
b) Then when you have it working, fold it into the commercial theme.
c) If it doesn’t work in child theme, use only the primary theme. Or, make sure you’re adding the custom function in the *right place* for it to work.

Not sure that helps.

Adding an additional custom RSS feed is very easy; “replacing” the built-in RSS feed is a bit more complex, as you’ve discovered.

Yes, I read your canned answer at least a dozen times on this forum. Clearly you have a lot of users with RSS questions and you think a plugin or that WP Beginner article can help. And for most people, that isn’t the case.

So I’m hoping someone can actually help me.

Transitioning to NP theme…and I know this doesn’t fall under typical support but I am really hoping someone out there can help me. I have a custom RSS feed in my current site I’m trying to copy over (working on a staging server – not sure if that makes a difference).

I have added a functions.php to my child theme and added this code:

// First remove all the RSS feed links from wp_head using remove_action

remove_action( ‘wp_head’,’feed_links’, 2 );

remove_action( ‘wp_head’,’feed_links_extra’, 3 );

// Then reinsert the main RSS feed by using add_action to call our function

add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘reinsert_rss_feed’, 1 );

// This function will reinsert the main RSS feed *after* the others have been removed

function reinsert_rss_feed() {

echo ‘<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”‘ . get_bloginfo(‘sitename’) . ‘ » RSS Feed” href=”‘ . get_bloginfo(‘rss2_url’) . ‘” />’;

}

//NEW RSS FEED function copied from previous developer

remove_all_actions( ‘do_feed_rss2’ );

add_action( ‘do_feed_rss2’, ‘acme_product_feed_rss2’, 10, 1 );

function acme_product_feed_rss2( $for_comments ) {

$rss_template = get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/feed-rss2.php’;

if( file_exists( $rss_template ) )

load_template( $rss_template );

else

do_feed_rss2( $for_comments ); // Call default function

}

add_filter( ‘the_content_feed’, ‘my_rssfooter’ );

add_filter( ‘the_excerpt_rss’, ‘my_rssfooter’ );

//NEW RSS FEED function copied from previous developer

function my_feed_thumbnail($content) {

if (is_feed() && has_post_thumbnail()) {

return get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), ‘thumbnail’ ) . $content;

}

return $content;

}

add_filter(‘the_content_feed’, ‘my_feed_thumbnail’);

add_filter(‘the_excerpt_rss’, ‘my_feed_thumbnail’);

//NEW RSS FEED function copied from previous developer

add_filter(‘excerpt_length’, ‘my_excerpt_length’);

function my_excerpt_length($length) {

if ( is_feed() ) {

return 1500;

} else return 0;

}

————————————————————
then, also added a standard feed-rss2.php template to my child theme

But I still can’t get it to work. The feed on the new site is the standard RSS feed, but that’s not what I want. I need my custom RSS feed.

THANK YOU in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

Fully understand the need to update a child theme, but most developers will advise on any changes required to child themes in their readme or revisions. Anyway, we’ve got nothing in our child theme functions apart from a minor revision to the author element. Nothing that affects page layout. We’ve recreated the child theme, but that has made no difference.

We’ve got the social counter to show by uninstalling/reinstalling, but the counters have reset to zero.
We still have the display issues on chrome for any user that has not cleared their cache.
VC will show in Firefox now, but still fails to load on Chrome, even with cleared caches/cookies, unless the divtag mobile theme is installed.
