Thank you for your response, Andrei.

Updated exactly as per Tagdiv documentation. This is the 4th or 5th update since my theme purchase, and not my only site, so I am aware of the FTP process.

Also, looking at the File Manager through the cpanel shows the updated files.

De-activating the Child Theme has fixed the errors, however what do I do next to restore my site to its original look? This site has a considerable amount of customization… it looks nothing like the demo content.

The whole point of having Child Themes is to prevent the loss of customization and site settings when themes update. But it is beginning to look like your theme and its update process does not support the use of Child Themes?

Please advise on my next step.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed thus far. Some very lovely sites.

Ours is a mock newspaper site satirizing real news. We’re hoping to achieve a unique clean look, but don’t know how successful we’ve been lol.

Here it is:

http://ctrlp.press/front-page/

It’s still technically in dev, although it’s live with content.

Just a few more issues to fix… the one big one with the two Block 4s on the main page. Once that is handled, we will bring in Ad-sense while adding more content and then when we are satisfied, go to social media to drive traffic.

Hi Alin,

I already have the page set at full width, no sidebar.

Howdy,

Thanks Emil. Unfortunately, neither removing all Custom CSS nor deactivating plug-ins had any effect.

And as I said, the block is displaying correctly on the original Home page (linked above).

My advice, since these folks are asleep right now–and I am a complete noob just started 2 months ago, so take this with a grain of NaCl:

1. Read all the theme documentation AND Chris’ sticky thread in this forum on switching themes
2. Backup your site
3. Create a child theme

I am not sure what you mean after that, but I’m guessing you like the look of the Classic Blog Stack’s homepage?

If so, on the Theme Panel > Welcome Page… Import Predefined Style (stack)… choose “Classic Blog” (if that’s your preference, “Default” or something else if not) and it should import the desired look without importing any posts or pics etc, like importing the entire demo would.

If you have done the first 3 steps, then you should have no worries about breaking the site.

Ahhh… now I think I understand… Judging by your post, all you have done is create a new page that is based on a basic template. If you already like the theme’s homepage with no changes, that’s not necessary, the theme will generate the home page itself, and its look will depend on which style or stack you import.

Best of luck!

The pie chart on Android browser seems to have fixed itself some time in the last 24 hours, not sure how, but please consider it resolved. Wasn’t a cache issue as I clear caches frequently.

Will attempt the fix on the mobile menus.

Dude, of course the mobile menu settings are there, how else would the submenus be working? And yes I know the mobile main menu is a separate setting, but it is the line immediately above sub menu. Pretty hard to miss. So, sorry no it is not working.

The fix for the Pie Chart is resolved with respect to “NaN”.

However it is still displaying below center on Android.

Thank you, Alin, and have a great weekend!

Sorry, I should also add a couple of other problems I can’t figure out…

First is that the Pie Chart that is on the Page link above strangely displays “NaN” in its center for a brief moment before displaying the correct text. Does this for me on both Windows 7 and Android; don’t know about other browsers.

Also on Android mobile the text in the center of the Pie chart sits below center.

And finally, the main menu on Android does not display the correct font, but for some reason its sub menus do.

Sorry to be a pain, but I am learning lots from you guys!

Hi,

I have no idea where that custom CSS came from, it doesn’t show in my Custom CSS panel, nor is it anything I wrote.

Where would it come from? Is it necessary?

That is, your “Pages” are not only not as wide as your “Posts”, but also your “Pages” footer is not as tall as your “Posts” footer.

Hi Alin,

Thank you for the custom CSS. Works great.

I have amended it as follows:

.block-title > a, .block-title > span {
 background-color: #ffffff !important;
 color: #1c1c1c !important;
 border: 1px solid #1c1c1c;
border-radius: 0px !important
 }

.td-footer-container .block-title > a, .td-footer-container .block-title > span{
background-color:#686868 !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
}

This squares the borders and brings the titles into same color style as the blocks and the footer. (I trust I did this right?)

It works beautifully on “Posts”.

However, it appears that on “Pages”, the width of the page is actually set to be more narrow than the width of “Posts”. Thus the top of the borders on my Footer titles disappear on “Pages” but work fine on “Posts”.

See the differences here:

Posts
Pages

I noticed something a few days ago when my text padding on “Pages” gave me more white space in the margins on mobile devices than my “Posts” did.

White space is a desirable effect when it comes to typography, but I was unable to replicate this effect in “Posts”. Didn’t realize at the time why.

Is there some way to have the boxing of “Posts” and “Pages” to be the same? I am kind of surprised that they are not by default. Am I missing a setting in VC?

And if not, I will need a fix for the borders of my footer titles on “Pages” that does not ruin the borders on “Posts”.

Edit:

I don’t know if you guys have ever noticed this, but the tops of your backgrounds in your Footer Block Titles are clipped off on “Pages” even before we amended this style.

Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Thank you Alin.
Was hoping to avoid doing it the long way, but FTP upload was successful and the theme appears to be working fine.
