Hello,
I have installed your Newspaper theme with the Journal Demo. My site is https://famcraz.com. It’s a beautiful theme, thank you!
But I am having a heck of a time getting my Sidebar and Footers to work properly. It seems to be something to do with the code. When I am attempting to edit a particular template using the Composer, the sidebar appears just as it should. As soon as I close the Composer, it reverts back to the incorrect format. Specifically, with my Recent Posts widget, the template is supposed to provide a thumbnail of the image with a nicer format for the title of the post as well as the title of the widget. It does not.
My footer does not show up at all. When I use the composer, I can see a very large footer with a bunch of content that I don’t want, even though I currently do not have any widgets installed into the footer. But when I have the footer setting turned on in the Theme Panel, any edits that I make to the background color is not working. Currently, the background is set to the default of a black shade, but it comes up a white shade. But when I change the text color from white to dark, that does correctly edit the text. I am suspecting that some setting is overwriting any edits I attempt.
This morning, I deactivated every third party plugin I have installed…Still the same problems. Any help would be appreciated. I am not new to WordPress and I spent over 4 hours yesterday trying to figure all this out with no progress.
Thank you,
Dave
Hi,
Thank you very much for your appreciation. I will try to help with the issues you are having.
In the homepage I see there are lots of mixed content issues, I believe you are in the process of installing the SSL certificate so that should solve itself when it is finished.
The wordpress recent posts widget doesn’t show an image as far as I know. It displays the post title and the date if enabled – http://prntscr.com/oh5ona
You could however use a theme block instead of that widget, and call it recent posts. Sort it by latest so that it shows the freshest posts – http://prntscr.com/oh4olg
– http://prntscr.com/oh4ooy
In the footer currently I see that a footer page is set. The theme provides predefined footer templates but it can also display a footer page in the footer location
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
If you want to customize the footer page, there is an option in the theme panel
– http://prntscr.com/oh5qo4
Note that some demos when installed will load a custom stylesheet, containing various CSS customization. The journal demo will set a background color for the website
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_journal/
This will override the theme panel background color it seems, I will make a note of it and we will find a different solution for this demo customization. For the time being you could remove the background color from the demo here – http://prntscr.com/oh5z27 Then the theme panel color will apply. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Simion,
Thank you for your reply. I don’t have time now, but I will attempt your advice and will reply if I have further issues.
Thanks again,
Dave
Hello Simion,
I am making progress with my sidebar, thank you.
But I am still having a problem with my footer. I have attempted to edit the demo_style.css file. I just simply deleted the lines of code that you highlighted in the file. Was this what I was supposed to do?
I still seem to have a background color that is overwriting my settings in the Theme Panel.
This is not really a concern for the header and main body of my site, but it is impacting the color of my footer.
If you take a look at https://famcraz.com again, you will see what I am talking about.
I appreciate your help thus far!
Dave
Hi,
From what I can see, now your website style is missing -> http://prntscr.com/oiaeg1 or maybe there is a cache problem.
Thank you!
Hello,
I just worked with my hosting provider to fix my SSL certificate. I believe that this was creating the missing style on my home page. Now if you visit https://famcraz.com and scroll down to the bottom, you will see my footer issue.
Dave
Hi,
The problem is that you have before a background color and the title from the footer blocks are with, after you set the background transparent this is not longer visible
-> http://prntscr.com/oitcmz in order to have the transparent background and to display the titles of posts you need to change the color from footer -> http://prntscr.com/oitdxk
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello Calin,
I am really starting to feel dumb. In the “Footer” section within the Theme Colors settings, my background is currently set to the default of a shade of black. All of my text, widgets, footer social icons are all set to the default of a white shade. How did you get a screenshot of my footer? This is what it should look like, but I am not having any success.
I apologize for all of the back and forth for something that seems so easy.
Dave
Hi,
So the demo that you have install have a specific class that is overwrite the background color for footer from theme panel -> http://prntscr.com/oj94d3 if that class is removed the background color appear http://prntscr.com/oj94sx in order to do that you’ll need to add a custom css
http://prntscr.com/oj9a45
.td-footer-wrapper {
background-color: #211d1d!important;
}
.td-sub-footer-container {
background-color: #0d0d0d!important;
}
The code need to be set in Theme Panel >Custom code >Custom css
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Calin,
Thank you so much, this did the trick. I have one last question and then I promise that I should be good to go…How do I remove that “About Us” text that is just sitting misplaced in the footer?
Thank you again for all of your help!
Dave
Hi,
In “About us” is usually show the themes set in Theme panel> Footer -> http://prntscr.com/ojqj8w if you do not have any text there, or you simply do not want to show the title “About Us”, you’ll need to go in Theme Panel> Translations and search for this word -> http://prntscr.com/ojqjta after you find it you can change it or set and empty space, this will remove the text -> http://prntscr.com/ojqk46
Hope this will help you!
Let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks.
