Yep. The only fix is to not use theme panel “over rides” for default colors, and make those changes directly to the style.css file.
Otherwise what is basically happening is
a) main CSS loads
b) CSS over-rides load
as you might expect in many situations due to the complexity of certain pages; especially with complex home page, and complex mega-menu — there is a couple msecs delay in there.
Also avoid using child theme on top of that since all child themes are basically redirects from one theme to another — which Google doesn’t recommend — but WordPress has made this their standard practice. Best to just edit the main theme, since with major theme updates, the child theme needs changes too and defeats purposes of using child theme to avoid not having to re-apply changes.
Much like WooCommerce — changes are done to functions.php — and one has to reapply them each time there is update.
Anyway — that’s been my experience. 🙂
thank you for your reply!
this is very strange i just uploaded the child-theme from them same main file i got from you.
anyway i just uploaded the /image from main theme to my child-theme.
thank you!
The first thing that springs to mind, is that we are using the child theme (as we plan to make customisations). Could this be the reason that those lines in functions.php are not taking effect?
Edited to add: we have not yet made any code changes at all – this is a fresh install.
Hi,
I have checked your site and seems that the theme’s icons are not found in child theme – http://screencast.com/t/lx7ZJq9GAd
Please switch to the main theme,clear cache and check if you still have this issue. If icons are showed properly please make sure that your child theme version is the same with the main theme.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve checked your site and noticed all this 404 errors to theme’s resources (images/sprites/icons..) in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/wTCIpzv8byub
Make sure you also test this using the main theme and without plugins and make sure you also empty all caches then test again.
Let me know how it goes and also try to update the child theme, backup the change made to theme’s files there, update it and do the changes again and also make sure that you adapt the child theme customization to the latest theme files.
Let us know how ti goes using the main theme.
Thanks
Hi, Please can you explain more what you mean, if the server was down then surely the site wouldn’t display, does this effect the mobile menu, everything else is working fine? Both the main theme and child theme are the latest versions downloaded from themeforest. The mobile menu should be working so please can you help with this as this site is live and the mobile menu needs to work.
Thanks
Hi,
Did you used patch to update your theme? I have already asked you from what theme version did you updated?
Please note that if you used an older version than 4.6.2 you make a fresh install of the theme via FTP and no use only patch – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Also if you use child theme, please check this with main theme and make sure that your child theme is updated to the latest version.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have tried to access your site but it doesn’t work – http://screencast.com/t/NcXlXhg7C
Please also check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, also clear cache and check if you still have this issue with mobile menu.
If you use child theme, please also check this with the main theme and if it work please make sure that your child theme is also updated to the latest version.
Thanks!
Howdy tagDivvers,
Sorry to bother you all but I’m a rank newb at this. Scoured your documentation, but couldn’t find anything that helped.
Here is the issue:
I am using Footer style 6 with a widget in the centre column and another widget in the right column. (Left is merely text and not an issue.)
To make everything nice and pretty, my main menu background, the footer background, and the accent colour are all the same color (which is also an accent in my logo).
Unfortunately this means that the hover color in the footer makes the links vanish into the background color.
I am already using a child theme, and have been searching through the Parent theme CSS to try and figure out which line or lines of code are setting the footer link hover colors, but have been unable to find them. I’ve made a few guesses and overrode some lines but nothing has worked. I’ve only been using WP for a few weeks so I’m pretty crappy at it, but this method seemed the right way to go.
The two widgets in question are “Pages” and “Meta”. The site is ctrlp.press.
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance. Crap, it always seems to be Friday afternoon in N. America when I have a problem lol…
Hi,
Do you use child theme? As you just ask if you can add this in child theme, so if you have activate child theme you have to make this change there(then the css style from child theme is applied), if not it should work in main theme. I also checked this in main theme and it works.
Thanks!
I have tested the above specified files and everything seems fine. Here is the current files used in the child theme.
Hi,
This markup error: http://screencast.com/t/NNuEv4fG ..appears because you’ve modified the itemtype="http://schema.org/Review attribute from post template – article tag. This should be ://schema.org/Article so make sure you change this and test again.
The “Node is empty” warning doesn’t mean much – it means there’s no child schema elements inside that parent – you won’t be penalized for something like that at all.
I’ve noted this as I also noticed this on our demo site and we’ll fix this in next theme updates.
Thanks
Hi,
You have to search that class from screenshot and add min-height there. Also padding css you can try to leave it in Custom Css section from Theme Panel.
Yes, you can try it in the child theme and see if it works. We have changed the child theme system and because of that at the moment some files can’t be overwritten via child theme, but the files from the root of the theme should work. If it doesn’t work, please make you change in the main theme file.
Thanks!
Hi Alin, thanks I have it working for default, 1, 7, 8.
For rest I did modify loop-single.php the same way, no result.
But it seems loop-single.php is not being used. I renamed it (.off) and single posts still serve.
I had loop-single.php in child theme, but deleted. And template is set to DEFAULT site wide.
Odd? Any ideas?
Clint
Ok, so two questions:
1. Can I just copy the code provided and paste it straight into the stylesheet?
2. Can I put it in the child theme css? Or does it need to be at the main themes css?
Hi,
You can use do_shortcode() function in footer.php file:
*Above footer: http://screencast.com/t/5uc8KSM1 – http://screencast.com/t/JVKzWueK3M
*Bellow footer: http://screencast.com/t/OTGyDqD2T – http://screencast.com/t/A8ilihetw
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
You can try it in child theme.
Thanks!
I was looking in the child theme and regular theme, the header.php file is the exact same with the only line of code:
> itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="://schema.org/WebPage">
Hello TagDiv Team. I hope all is well.
I’d like to know how to place an ad at the bottom of my page either below or just above the footer (Newspaper). I saw the instructions for Newsmag, but I don’t want to experiment attempting to do this with Newspaper without guidance of the creators.
I hope you can help me find a solution (even better if you have a solution that I can add to my child theme so it won’t be erased with each Theme upgrade.
Have an awesome day!
Philip
I found the problem.
I have to place icon folder in the child theme as well.
Didn’t know that. Perhaps you guys may need to put that in your documentation.
Just one more question.
The default search icon is white for dark background.
How do I change it to using black over a light background?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have just checked the Console error.
Apparently it says that file is not found.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://www.weddinginspirasi.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag-child/images/icons/newsmag.woff?6
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://www.weddinginspirasi.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag-child/images/icons/newsmag.ttf?6
But I have checked that the file is in that folder.
Could be the number ‘6’ at the end causing the problem?
Hello, so when I open the header.php in the child or regular theme, the only thing that’s in it is the following: > itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”://schema.org/WebPage”>
Hi,
We recommend you update the theme to the latest version as the latest update has fixes related to the security vulnerability recently announced on themeforest: https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/04/security-advisory-xss-vulnerability-affecting-multiple-wordpress-plugins.html
First make sure you backup your current theme and wp install then update the theme by uploading the theme files via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Use this guide and the introductions provided there to make sure you do this right: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-guide-to-moving-from-newspaper-to-newsmag/
After doing this update the child theme. First make a backup of it then update it then copy the customized files.
Please note that if you have changes made to modified theme files, you need to adjust your customization to theme’s code.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
If you use child theme please note that we have changed the child theme system (for which we will have a documentation available soon) and because of that at the moment modules and parts files can’t be overwritten via child theme. Until then please make you change in the main theme file.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks!
Hi,
If I update the child theme won’t I loose all the changes we’ve made? I did start this process and updating the theme changed a lot of our customizations.
How crucial is updating the theme? Can we stay at 4.2 or are there security issues with that version?
thanks!
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you refer to the logo image or that the logo and ad are displayed bellow the menu?
The logo is displayed fine on my side – http://screencast.com/t/ba3RFqfA please provide more details about this.
Did you made any custom modifications to the code?
Also if you want to display logo and ad above main menu, please edit header.php and by default the order must be like this – http://screencast.com/t/jzAiu6N41jr
If you use child theme please check there and after this clear cache if you use a cache plugin.
Thanks!
