Search Results for 'update'

Hey Andrei,

This seems to be an issue with CSS related to “vc_column_container” class, which has width: 100% and overrides CSS of the columns. After a bit of research I did find that this might be an issue with how you’re outputting classes and modifying them in VC. Someone else had same exact problem in a different theme with VC.

Here’s the info:
https://oceanthemes.ticksy.com/ticket/842704

You can see that they had a response from VC support, which indicated that:

The issue is because theme author has modified our default column classes using:https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Change+CSS+Class+Names+in+Output Due to this it breaks upon the update.

This sounds like a possible bug. Thanks.

thanks Chris. It worked.

I have purchased the composer plugin previously. Do I have to change/update it?

I saw that there is a speed booster plugin. I don’t recall seeing it in my initial install. What does it do?

So, I want to remove Google fonts, stop them being loaded in page head, and use default mobile friendly font stack, also works for desktop:

——- PART 2 / FONT SWAP;
remove default Google Fonts in theme and loaded externally ——–

**/theme/includes/td_config.php

/remove google font calls for defalt roboto and open sans

lines 3247-3259 — remove:

/**
* the default fonts used by the theme. For a list of fonts ids @see td_fonts::$font_names_google_list
*/
td_global::$default_google_fonts_list = array (
'438' => array(
'css_style_id' => 'google_font_open_sans',
'url' => td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700'

as above, same font stack, or choose a serif stack for replacing Roboto.

this isn’t best choice, but option:

font-family: Rockwell, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;

======
REMINDER: these haxx need to be done EVERY theme update; keep record and backup of your files in sub-folder on your work PC/Mac to easily redo this as needed for future versions of Newsmag (if you want… or not, won’t matter to me either way … just sayin….) 🙂

Be sure to also update all the plugins that come with the theme at same time. 🙂

Also be sure to ‘export’ your settings from Theme, and also do tools > export before you update anything in WP in future as part of normal back-up process.

Alin,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Your support is beyond fantastic!

I just removed import_video_slider_bg to clean things up, and it’s back to the default: white/clear.

Last question:

I’m actually using Big Grid 2, and yes I’m using the video demo as a start. If I change the default color directly on the demo style sheet, will it get over written if Newspaper gets updated? I am using Newspaper through my child theme.

Thanks for your reply. I just tried disabling all plugins except VC, and turning off Cloudflare and CDN. The problem remained.

I believe this began either after I updated to Newspaper 7.3 or WordPress 4.6 recently…

Thank you for the quick reply Bogdan. I have reset my CDN and also tried flipping off the plugins and for some reason this one is sticking. I have even confirmed that it looks odd on other computers around the world.

I am also interested in updating the Visual Composer. While updating the theme last night, I updated the visual composer, but WordPress is still telling me that there is yet another newer version. Is this something we should worry about, or will that update be in the next version of the theme when you update it next?

Do you think the visual composer issue is causing the big grid to not work properly? Are you seeing that the Big Grid is broken when you look at it on TeacherCast.net

Thank you for the help.

Hi,

What is the use of a child theme if it is not update proof?

Hi, Brian here.

Yes the site works with vanilla 7.3 and the sidebar is fine.

However: I’m trying to get a child theme working and every time I turn the child theme on the homepage messes up and the sidebar disappears.

Here’s what I’ve done:

Folder called: Newspaper-7_3-IC-Child
style.css
/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Theme URI: https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609?s_rank=1
Description: Newspaper 7.3 Israellycool Child Theme
Author: Brian of London
Author URI: http://www.israellycool.com
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.3 [corresponds to theme version 7.3]
*/

functions.php
<?php
// Added by Brian of London BoL 2016-07-20
// Updated 2016-08-18 to try to rework after 7.3
// switched from old method of child theme loading
// "Note that the previous method was to import the parent theme stylesheet using @import:
// this is no longer best practice, as it increases the amount of time it takes style sheets to load. "
//
//

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

That’s it, no other changes made yet (I’ve got a screenshot.png file in the folder too).

As soon as I select that child the sidebar suddenly jumps to the bottom of the page, before the footer.

HI

You can change the title for news ticker from theme panel > translations: http://screencast.com/t/CG6XqLW8JZ Just add in indicated filed the desired title and the theme will display it also after updates.

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

I did the update yesterday, and have experienced som issues if you create two posts right after each other. But whether it was a “user mistake” or a “core error”. Don’t know yet.

I can’t see it being anything to do with Newsmag

Thanks for the answer.
