Home Pinterest broken

[lululola]

REPOSTING: At some point as I was customizing, the HOME PINTEREST style only showed up as a wide screen layout. (I have everything set to Home Pinterest: custom sidebar, settings/reading/menu, rows show up as grid.) I have since deleted the Home Pinterest page thinking I would reload it but it’s nowhere in the files that I can see. HOW CAN I ADD the HOME PINTEREST PAGE BACK and then how do I get it to work as advertised? I most likely can’t wait any longer for support and will have to start all over with the theme.

Go to wp admin > appearance > kleo demo data and select specific page. https://archived.seventhqueen.com/documentation/kleo#demo

I already tried that but the page was not among the options any longer. I have since RE-installed WP, and re-installed the theme, and I STILL have a problem. So then I reinstalled the Visual Composer, and still had the same problem. Now I have put post grid in the column (previously it had “kleo posts”) and now I have the Pinterest style coming up but WITHOUT the demo media. I have the demo titles only.

[lululola]

Actually, I don’t have the PINTEREST style grid back – it’s just a basic grid that appears now. Ugh.

Please help! Nothing I do (see above – I’ve tried reloading everything from scratch) has brought back the Pinterest style layout. I’m now working in a different browser too.

respond privately with a link and admin credentials. I’ll have a look for you.

I have managed to get PINTEREST back by clicking “query” in the VS module… something I never had to do before.

But I still have problems retaining the colors I select in main area “column” containing Pinterest-style posts. It will not retain the border color. Can you advise regarding that?

The original problem ALSO still exists. SAFARI is showing the posts as PINTEREST but CHROME is showing them as full width in a single column.

So if you can advise re that, as well as
2) COLOR changes not maintaining
3) How can I change the background of the PINTEREST STYLE posts without also changing the posts themelves to that color. Right now, a change to the background makes also the posts the same color. I want white posts against a different color without the white container background.

Thank you.

1 – I’m using chrome. This is what I see. Same with Firefox. Are you seeing something different?

2 – I see lots of color changes including borders. What exactly is wrong?

3 – The background and posts are different colors. Unless you mean the article background

COPY CODE

article {
background-color: green !important;
}

.post-content {
background-color: white !important;
}

No I’m not seeing what you are seeing.

WHAT I’M SEEING (see images):
CHROME gets me the full-width posts (see image)
SAFARA gets me PINTEREST type.

RE COLOR: Both browsers get me the coloration as you see in my images – which are DIFFERENT from yours. (There is no green in mine and I haven’t been able to get green or any other color as a contrast color to the posts themselves). As mentioned, my attempts to change the “column background” color were unsuccessful when saved in Visual Composer. Only eventually after several attempts with the theme settings background color change did it retain the color I chose.

But in NO CASES have I been able to get what your image shows – which is a contrast color seamless throughout the backround of the posts — so that just the posts are another color (white).

You need to add the css I gave you to get the color contrast. Change green to whatever you want.

Try clearing your chrome cache.

Neither the 1) custom CSS code (pasted in custom CSS area of “theme options”) nor the 2) clearing the Chrome cache worked.

I am still seeing the same things.

[lululola]

I’ve discovered now after another wasted day, that the Visual Composer does not work. Seemingly the only way for my style changes to hold, is to change them via “edit page” or “theme options” and completely avoid Visual Composer. How shall I go about fixing that – so I can use Visual Composer?

[lululola]

BTW, CHROME is still not displaying PINTEREST style (just full width posts). Only Safari is displaying PINTEREST style. I’ve cleared the cache twice. My Chrome is up to date. Please advise.

[lululola]

Spoke too soon, the colors I have chosen and show that they are chosen do not show up. I have refreshed the browser upteen times to no avail. This has been all day one way or another, the colors are delayed or not at all or temporarily holding.

[sharmstr]

Credentials aren’t working.

I asked you to clear the cache because in Chrome you were (are) seeing the standard blog layout. Kleo has a layout switcher that if used will write your blog layout selection to a cookie. My assumption was at some point while you were trying to set this up, you enabled it and selected the standard layout. Instead of telling you to add the layout switcher and select masonry, the faster way is to clear your browser cache. I should have been more specific to say that you need to clear your cookies as well.

Kleo overrides many Visual Composer settings so you can set the styling via the row’s Section Style which allows you choose one of the styles you’ve set up in Theme Options. You can override that with the css I gave you previously. You can add the following to the page via the gear icon in VC

COPY CODE

/* the post outer container */
article {
background-color: red !important;
}
/* the post container */
.post-content {
    background-color: green !important;
    border-color: blue !important;
}

I purposely make the colors ugly so people can see exactly what part of the css does what.

That’s exactly when it happened… I have cleared everything three times on Chrome but will try again after I resolve the NEW PROBLEM:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in… plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes/vc_tta_pageable_section.php on line 10

Any help for that would be appreciated or do I have to start a new topic?

Thanks.

If you cant fix it by clearing the cookies, you can add the layout switcher long enough to select the masonry layout.

You dont have to open a new topic for the error, but if you had searched here or googled it, you’d see that the common fix is to make sure you’re running PHP 5.3+. I’m running 5.6.13 on all of my sites.

OMG thank you! It was the cookies! I have cleared and it is fixed. I’d also come across the PHP update solution by searching and that issue is resolved too, thank you.

I have the color problem again. Will not take the menu color changes.

[lululola]

The menu colors stopped taking the changes after I imported more demo content.
