Search Results for 'strange'

Hi! I must say I really love this theme, it is almost out-of-the-box ready for our purposes, but I hope you can answer the following questions related to the changes we see necessary:

1. For the post templates, we would really love to have the default style with the text BELOW the top picture instead of above. Is this possible? I find it strange that this is not one of the pre-defined templates.

2. Our top menu consists of 3 elements. Is it possible to highlight ONE of the 3 menu elements with another background color? Example: http://www.screencast.com/t/W6jQvE3el

3. Under “Post Settings” I can turn off showing author and date for all posts. This affects both the frontpage and sidebar (preview of posts) AND the post page itself. I would like to turn off/disable this for the frontpage and sidebar, but still show author + date at the very top of all posts when on the post page. Is this possible?

4. For “Block 13”, can I also show the introduction and just not the title underneath the picture?

5. Is it possible to modify/create a block (similar to Block 13 or 20) to show the full picture, then title, then introduction? Example: http://www.screencast.com/t/y0s4F7irXIKh

6. At the bottom of every post, underneath the Social Sharing buttons, there are two “menus” (related articles + more from author) above 3 post previews. I would like to only have one menu (delete more from author), is this possible? Explanation: http://www.screencast.com/t/15j0LrFz

7. I have created a new page but I can’t figure out how to make the right hand side of the page “sticky”, so that when scrolling down on the page the content on the right hand side will always be on top.

For some reasons I experience two strange effects

1. the Homepage Start shows – when selected – the word “Start” repeated below the Main Menu

2. below all other menu items I have a listing of the first 5 other categories – and can collapse a list of all the other categories

If you recently upgraded to wordpress 4.5.1 from earlier versions you may have found your posts have been all messed up with lots of Â, †and ™ characters dotted everywhere. This happened to HallaNaija blog posts, I manually removed them from some of the affected posts but was unable to do that to all because i have too over 5000+ published posts. I didn’t spend any time looking into what caused this to happen.

I immediately came to the forum for support and i’ve also contacted the in-house staff support team but didn’t get any response. However I decided to look into the problem further as there are a lot of wordpress users who are having problems with this.

What causes these characters to appear after upgrading?

WordPress added two new lines to the wp-config.php file in version latest version

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

In brief, DB_CHARSET lets you define the character set which is used on your blog and DB_COLLATE lets you set the order of the character set. I don’t want to go into too much details about these new variables as it will not concern the majority of wordpress users.

So why does this problem arise? Well, if you install a fresh copy of wordpress you may get this problem however. This is because the wordpress upgrade does not convert the old Latin1 character set to the new UTF-8 character set during the upgrade. I’m baffled why wordpress did not speak more about this when they released new version as it’s clearly something that is going to cause problems for a lot of bloggers.

How do you remove these strange characters from your posts?

There are a few ways you can fix this problem.

Remove the references to DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE in the wp-config.php file

– If you simply remove the new lines from your wp-config.php file your posts should be back to normal. In the long term though it’s maybe best to convert your database.
OR
You can:
– Download the wordpress UTF-8 Database Converter plugin – g30rg3x released a wordpress plugin called UTF-8 Database Converter which converts your database and therefore removes all strange characters from your posts. You can download it here [ https://wordpress.org/plugins/utf-8-database-converter/ ]. All you need to do is backup your database, upload this plugin and then activate it. When you have activated it and selected the converter in your plugin tab you will see this screen. ==> http://tinyurl.com/hn5adru
Don’t get too alarmed about this screen, just double check that you have backed up your blog database so if anything happens your covered.

Removing or commenting out the DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE references in your wp-config.php file is definately the quickest way to resolve this problem but I’ve no doubt that future versions of wordpress will include these new character variables so it might be worthwhile converting your database using the plugin I mentioned.

I hope that this guide will help wordpress users who have had problems with this. If you are unsure about anything please let me know and I will do my best to help.

thanks, HallaNaija

I use the NewsMag theme. Am experiencing the same problem on my blog posts. It’s even appearing on old posts and post titles too. Very annoying.

This issue has been occurring for over 2 months now. I have cleared cache several times and disabled plugins several times too. but problem persists. I’ve even deleted more than half (useless) of the plugins i installed. SAME THING!!!

Hello

I can´t manage blocks with Visual Composer, I don´t know exactly what is the reason. When I am going to edit a page, it displays just three tabs but not the former structure´s blocks, so it´s very strange. I can´t add any block or whatever element.

Thanks

While testing the performance of my website, I noticed a strange reference to facebook on the homepage. There are no facebook objects on the homepage, so i don’t know where its coming from. How may I remove it? it seems to be some kind of tracking pixel.
