Thanks for the tumb’s reference, which worked out nicely…

All the rest is really very frustrating,

You discontinue updates on a version I bought due to particular features you had and release a newer version that no longer offers the same set of features??

• I followed the steps on that guide you linked too in the first place (removal of the old version + older VC plugin, installation of the newer version & plugins + the update script which led me to this point
• The previous version had some problem with Multilanguage but eventually I found I could rectify any small issue using WPML (which also cost extra) – but made everything work perfectly.
• Old RTL support needed some work on the CSS side – but I also had that fixed rather easily but that’s about it.
• I haven’t done any other unique changes to the old theme 🙁

I can also see the post and the categories in the admin so – the data was not effected it seems like the modules don’t handle the structure in the same way and the fact you say it was rewritten suggests that may be the cause and you may be able to solve this.

Since I don’t have the skills to fix this myself which was the whole point of buying a theme that supported what I needed to begin with – please help me understand if this is something you think you can resolve or I should start looking for another theme?

So… any thoughts on this?

Who is the person in charge of the listing the theme as compatible with BuddyPress 1.9 that can shed some light on the matter?

Yea…

I didn’t know what was fixed and what was not so I just did the same for both (td_module_slide.php & td_module_slide_big.php).

Also, if you are doing this – I found that I need to change the other parameter as well (chars per line also) to make it look nice – particularly when working with type “letters” so you may want to add this option the panel… (for both slide types).

4.2 fix for slider didn’t seem to do the job (for letters type)

Well…

#2 took me a WEEK to find the cause on my own
(one of these days I am going to insist on getting the support I deserve you know…)
but I will share the cause for the common good in case others have a similar problem.

Turns out my problem was probably due to using the Facebook official plugin (version 1.5.5) which caused pagination to stop working for some reason.

I suppose HERE is good since we are paying customers and this forum IS supposed to offer a place for support…
+ maybe others can find it helpful in the future as well, who knows…

My main menu with WPML language switcher: http://screencast.com/t/JY2sLaaQZHtH

Well, putting the language switcher on the main-menu:

• You set the main-menu on the theme panel > header > Main Menu > Header Main Menu <br>
• You can verify this on Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations (but I think it syncs automatically)
• WPML > Languages > Language switcher in the WP Menu <br>

• Check “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu” & choose the same menu you set for the main-menu
• Do all that for the default language that you set for WPML originally & use “WPML > WP Menus Sync” to keep the menu’s sync across languages (where needed).

As for the CSS modifications, add the following to your custom CSS on the theme panel:

/* Menu Language Switcher */

	.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
		display: inline-block;
	}
	.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
		text-decoration: none !important;
	}
	.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
		display: block;
		position: relative;
	}

	.sf-menu .menu-item-language > ul.sub-menu > li {
		direction: ltr;
		text-align: left;
	}

	.sf-menu .menu-item-language > ul.sub-menu > li a {
		padding-right: 29px;
		min-width: 1px;
		padding: 0px 11px 0px 11px;
		height: 48px;
		line-height: 51px;
		font-size: 16px;
		color: #202020;
		z-index: 9999;
	}

	.menu-item-language img.iclflag {
		margin: 0 4px;
	}

/* Menu Upgrade */

There’s a bit more if you are using RTL language…

Yea…
That’s the answer I got after spending much time adjusting my implementation to the theme… not a high priority at this point for Tagdiv 🙁

Well, the good news for you @mo-tech is that I was pretty stubborn this time and followed up with WPML trying to find all sorts of workarounds for the things that troubled me so I might be able to give you a few tips if I know what you are trying to accomplish.

(With their 199$ version – chances are you can get the Multilanguage aspects – maybe not from the theme panel but using the string translation features).

BTW
In expressing my frustration from the above via the review @ Themeforest, certain members of Tagdiv support seem to have gotten the impression they can “excommunicate” and avoid providing support on my tickets…

Be AWARE | Choose WISELY | Stay TRUE
🙂

Strange are the ways of WP…

Thank you Christopher for the helpful direction and for demonstrating what an effective support answer might look like.

Following your lead and with a fresh start after (again) spending much to much time on a relatively simple issue I hope this is behind me…

Another day with out support?

I hope you wake up tomorrow with an understanding that:
“Frustrated customers are bad for business…”

Well,
Since you ask so nicely…

1) Offer more support because I believe this is part of the job and obligation as long as I am your customer.

2) Because the time I spent trying to work on your theme already is worth ten times the refund and although I am not a satisfied customer at this point – I am still trying to work with this theme.

3) Maybe it’s time, to act like a professional – try to change my mind – prove to me that I am wrong in what I wrote about you and stop avoiding the ticket??

Two questions:
1) How is this relevant to this ticket?
2) Are you sure you want to have this discussion in the public forum?

Point taken – I can see if my question was not clear but all you need to do is ask 🙂 I’ll try to be clearer in the future!

anyway,
I am still not sure I am getting the right results –

* I have several categories under the root
* I have one category with subcategories – crowdfunding (has 2 subs)

If I point to crowdfunding & set Show child categories menu to “Show all” – I get the sub menu OK!

I wanted to get the same sub menu for the categories under the root (like they are sub categories) – but if I select in “Category filter:” “- All categories -” and also set Show child categories menu to “Show all” – I don’t get a child category menu.

(hope my desired outcome is clear now…)

can I make this happen?
does this require code change?

Lets separate the two issues because I am not sure they are related:

#1) Block pagination –
I tried the option with ajax
as you can see in the video – I set block 2 (dont miss on the original homepage template) per your instruction and paging is still via ajax as far as I can see…

http://screencast.com/t/v8WDAUYnSrjE

#2) Homepage latest article list –
I changed permalinks back and forth several times but it did not help!

http://screencast.com/t/IrhZRqunJ

(#2 – is Much more critical!)

🙁

If it’s in the demo I’d expect to be able to do this…
please show how

Update (STILL NOT WORKING)

when the page is stand along it seems ok – once it’s turned homepage of the site (via settings – writing) paging stops working!

can’t figure it out – DRIVING ME CRAZY 🙁

http://www.virtualida.com/

(I see some notifications on console – not sure they are related though 🙁 )

Update (STILL NOT WORKING)
I figured out that I might need to use the homepage with article template
and I am getting pagination below but when clicked I keep ending up on the homepage (even when directly browsing to the page links there seems to be a redirect)

is there a proper documentation I should follow ?
what’s the setting required for this to work?

Got it..
thanks!

Thanks!

Hope to this see this value (and the chars per line value!)
in the panel @ next version! 🙂

I am sorry but I did not understand from your answer how I should update the excerpts for the sliders.

as I said I am in letters mode and it seems like all the sliders (and also in the breadcrumbs) default excerpt is 15 letters and there is not place to change that as far as I can tell.

take a look at my site and you’ll immediately see how the post headlines are cut very short: http://www.virtualida.com/

so… I need a more specific answer on how to change that (hope I need to touch as little code as possible – if this is an upcoming fix please let me know when it’s due)

Thanks for answering Radu.

Since your theme is listed as compatible with WPML (which stands for wordpress multilanguage and is a very specific plugin that is NOT qtranslate) – I suppose you can understand why my expectations where different…

For a people who paid for WPML and already use it – moving to qtranslate is no simple matter since WMPL / qtranslate encode posts and stuff very different and migration is a b!tch 🙂

For now, I think I found a few workarounds – BUT I noticed in some cased your theme does separate options per language (for example in the top menu selection and in the categories section) – so that means you know how to do it, you are simply not following through in the same standard and I think that if did – your customers would get much more value from the theme…

I am trying to work with what you have at the moment – hope i don’t hit a brick wall and have to find a theme that did a better job in the multilingual aspect because I really like what I see so far.

Since no new info posted here are some of my findings so far which I need your input on ASAP:

* Similar issue on WPML forum – http://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-translate-theme-options-content/
* From the response – this may be the missing link http://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/

(I did not see you include wpml-config.xml)

I am not sure why you listed the site as WPML compatible, but what I need is separate option panel per language to set:

* different header (image logo & text per panguage)
* different footer
* different template settings – to account for RTL / LTR on non category pages
* different translations – since it’s DIFFERENT LANGUAGES obviously…
* different Custom CSS

(Of course you can do a complete compatibility – but the above is a must!)
