I did the latest theme update this week and I also updated WordPress. I also updated Visual Composer. I refreshed cache numerous times since updating.
Two Problems:
1) Masonry galleries are not showing – example page where masonry gallery is in the code but not showing on page: http://mauimagazine.net/maui-photos/
2) I created new posts today, and some are not showing the sidebar, even though they should based on the category of the post. I have double and triple-checked the settings are correct in the Theme Panel and I can’t figure out why some new posts are getting a sidebar, and some are not. I have them correctly categoried by primary category and they should get a sidebar, but they are not.
Here are examples of posts I made today (backdated because it’s old archive content from our magazine):
These have sidebar, correct: http://mauimagazine.net/culinary-jaunt-lanai, http://mauimagazine.net/choosing-solar-contractor,http://mauimagazine.net/down-and-dirty, http://mauimagazine.net/deep-wisdom
These lack sidebar, incorrect: http://mauimagazine.net/exploring-aloha, http://mauimagazine.net/publishers-note-march-2012, http://mauimagazine.net/going-bananas
Cannot tell any difference as to why some are getting the sidebars, and some are not.
Can you help with these issues?
Thank you.
Hi,
1) I have checked your site but the masonry grid seems to be working: http://screencast.com/t/rjnC7yH0hq
2) Please try to add a sidebar to the post settings as thjese override the category settings. If the sidebar position is set to none in the post setting, it will override any other option from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/V9RHt8010D
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
1) Masonry grid is now working – must have been temporary bug. Relief!
2) I should not have to add a sidebar to every new post – it should be controlled by the Theme Panel Per category settings (as previously worked), so that every post in a category gets its category sidebar. That is one of the main benefits of the template and using a category > it creates the proper layout for the post… something changed since theme update, but I did not change anything.
The sidebar is also not showing on the new main category page –
Notice on this main category page, the sidebar shows up:http://mauimagazine.net/category/archive/march-april-2013/
However, on this newly created main category page, the sidebar does not show up: http://mauimagazine.net/category/archive/march-april-2012/
I am still seeing the masonry gallery fail on occasion, such as now, 9:55 a.m. Hawaii Time April 19, 2016.
Hi,
1) Please test the masonry grid without any other plugins except visual composer. you might have a plugin conflict going on that interferes with the grid. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then check the grid again. This way, maybe you could identify the one causing the issue.
2) If you place a sidebar in the per category settings here: then all the posts will get that category but only if the post setting is set to “default”: http://screencast.com/t/E3Rxzm8g If any other sidebar is set here, the one from the category will be ignored. You might also want to check if the sidebar was not stripped of widgets. Sometiumes wordpress strips the sidebar of widgets in special cases like when useing special symbols or language specific characters in the sidebar titles.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
1) The plugin conflict is with this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/
2) I am using correct settings using default where the post settings are setup by category and it’s still not working. So now I have to manually select the primary category every time and I have thousands of articles to input… this is very very very very annoying and should work (as you describe) as it did work before the last update… would you think a plugin conflict could cause this type of bug?
Hi,
The best thing to do is to disable all plugins at once except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. Then you can see how your site works without plugins. Check all known errors to rule out plugin conflicts. Plugins can cause all kinds of errors including sidebar issues.
If you still cannot get the post sidebars to pick-up the ones in the theme panel please send us an email at contact@tagdiov.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
