Thank you sharmstr. That worked for the icons, but the divider lines are still not showing. If .hr-title was intended for the lines, it did not work.
I will probably stay with this color throughout the site, but if I want to change it on an individual page, or section, should I use the class name “icon-“, and then paste the code in the page css?
Will I need to contact you for the code every time something like this comes up? Can you provide me with a way to view the main css? It would make it much easier for me to work with this theme! I understand that it cannot be modified. I just need to view it for reference.
The following link was provided to another member by Sharmstr: /kleo/lib/options.php
I would like to access the library. Where do I add or find this link?
Laura,
1. Regarding your reply about Revolution Slider: I only have Revolution Slider in those 3 sections now because of the problems I was having with the Image Gallery and Image Carousel shortcodes. Please review my last post again for the details and respond to my concerns about those elements. The primary issue is that the sizing options in the “Settings” boxes are not working! Thanks.
2. Regarding your reply to my CSS questions: I understand your point about adding CSS changes to the Child Theme only, BUT… I want to see the existing style sheet (file) in the Main Theme in order to understand the existing parameters. How can I get the Main Theme Style Sheet to display?
3. Here are the shortcode element descriptions and specific style changes I need:
* Short Code Names –
1. “Divider with icon full”
2. “Divider with icon short”* Current Locations – All front (Home) page, right now –
1. (full) 2nd row, 6th row
2. (short) 5th row, 3 instances* Style – ALL locations; change text, icon and lines to color:#4d151d
I will most likely need to have these styled with the above color further down on this page, and on other pages as well. I may also want to use the original (default) color, or maybe, but less likely, a different color altogether. Is there a way to accomplish this without having to contact you and have you do it every time? It’s very time consuming to post and wait for replies, and with the issues this theme has had, I’m already way behind schedule! Could you provide me with the necessary CSS, or some other solution?
Thank you.
Laura,
The KLEO style.css page (in WP Editor) displays NO CODE. There is a message that says:
/*
* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
* CSS Rules in this file will not be used by the theme.
* If you want to edit/add styles you need to enable the child theme and add your custom styles there.
*/So…?
I have the child theme installed, so do I just add the CSS to the empty stylesheet there? What if I need/want to change other parameters? If I can’t see the existing code, how do I figure out what to change?
Another thing, I just read a little more about Visual Composer. there is supposed to be a Visual Composer panel available under settings, but there is not one shown. It appears that panel offers another way to style short code elements.
By the way, I don’t see the post reply I thought I sent about making posts private.
I know how to make them private BEFORE I send them. What I need to know is how to change them to Private AFTER I send them. In other words, how to change/edit a post if I make a mistake.
Laura,
I have only worked on the home page so far, so for question #3, on the home page scroll down to the first “Join Itoto House” button. The next section contains 3 sliders, one after the other. I put Revolution Sliders there for now, but I had been trying to use the (image) carousel short code there. In the editing dialogue box for the carousel short code there is an option to change the size. As I said in my first post, no matter what I put in that option box, the size will NOT CHANGE from full width (and height). I wanted smaller sliders there, about 400px x 250px. I’m going to try forcing them smaller by adding columns on either side. Hopefully that will work, but WHY DOESN’T THE SIZING OPTION IN THE EDITING BOX WORK?
For the last question, if you look closely between sections (on the home page) you will see small gray icons (stars). They are supposed to have short lines on each size, as they were put there with the “Divider with Icon” short code. When I changed the background color of the page from the default to the darker tan/gold there now, the lines disappeared. I also changed all of the fonts to a dark red, and I want dividers, icons, borders, etc. the same color. I tried putting the appropriate hex # in the text color, heading color, border color and alternate border color in the boxes on the “Main” and “Alternate” page in Theme Options (and WP Customize): Theme Options/Styling Options/Main and Theme Options/Styling Options/Alternate. No change. I’ve searched through every other section in the theme and WordPress dashboards/panels many, many time, and I cannot find any way to style the short code elements (or at least change their color to match my font color). The section right under the main slider also has a “Divider with Icon” in it, in white. The icon changed to white, but again, the lines disappeared. Is there a solution?!
In regard to the CSS code you provided as solutions for my first two questions, do I need to go to the main CSS page, find these snippets and change them there? What is the name of that CSS page? Do you have line numbers for the snippets to make them easier to find?
Thank you.
Andrei,
I unsubscribed for a minute, while trying to figure out what to do, so I don’t know if my reply went through. Did you change the post above to private for me? If so, thanks!!Could you please tell me, for the future, is there a way to edit our own posts in this forum?
Okay, thanks! Abe could you please help me with the carousel short code? I need it to have a width around 300 to 400px, but no matter what I do, it won’t change from full-width or full-screen. I’ve entered “medium” “small” “400×300”, etc. and even tried custom CSS, but the only thing that changes is the resolution. The size does not change at all.
My url is http://itoto.org.
Thank you.
I was asking you because I haven’t been notified by Theme Forest that it has been released yet, so I was wondering how you got it. And, if you did get it, I was concerned that you said there were so many bugs, since it was supposed to be a fix for a bunch of them.
Joshua,
Are you getting these errors with the version that was just released within the last 30 minutes or so?
Radu,
I was looking at the wrong settings panel. What do you mean by Save (Wp-Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks -> Save)? The current settings are saved. I saved again, but the theme options still return a 404 page.
Sharmstr – are you in my theme right now? All of a sudden none of the theme options will open (I get a 404).
Here is the link again: http://itoto.org. Please let me know if you need to get into the admin panel.
If you would look at the post I sent yesterday (#61943), you will see what I need. You responded with a suggestion to upgrade, which is what started the flurry of posts today. That post pretty much sums up the issues I’ve been having.
Great Sharmstr – thank you very much! I’ll be careful not to bother you with WP questions if I can help it.
Okay, so back to my list of theme related issues. Could we look at post #61943 again and sort it out, as you mentioned?
I think I got it figured out. I thought I had already done this, but I guess it switched back. I went to the Customize panel and changed the front page to static and then chose Home from the drop-down list.
Whew… but, can you help me with the sidebar placement issue?
Oh – I did change the Permalink Settings to “Default”, but it didn’t change anything that I can see.
Okay, that did it. Thanks.
So, regarding the index page. I guess I don’t really understand the WP architecture. I’m used to working in HTML, so I’ve always just named my home page “index”.
The page I’m working was titled “Home Default” (from the demo) and I changed it to “Home”. I didn’t do anything with the pages titled “Blog”, other than look at them. I did try to use the 1 and 2 sidebar pages, but that didn’t work.
So, how do I make the Home page the Home page? You mentioned changing the Permalinks. I reviewed the codex about Permalinks and I don’t quite understand how to work with them. Is there a GUI or do I have to change php code somewhere? I looked at the index.php file in my server directory, but I don’t really want to mess with that if I don’t have to.
I also want to insert a sidebar or two under the main slider, but I can’t figure out how to do that either. I sent a post yesterday (I think) asking if there was a way to work with sections – like in html, but you must have missed that.
Anyway, the main issue at this point is the url directory / menu. Thanks.
I just went to my ThemeForest account and used the API that was displayed, so maybe that is the problem. I’ll go and create a new one, try it and get back to you. Thank you so much for the very fast responses!
Actually, after reviewing the log more carefully, I see that the only thing I could have done was not included a “text domain”, and those are only recommendations. The rest is php code and I haven’t touched any of it.
If they are my errors (some or most), how do I correct them, without going into the actual .php files?
One other thing. I did a bug check on the currently installed theme (2.4.3). I will attached the result in a Word (.txt) doc.
Have all of these issues been addressed in the new theme?
Now…an update notice appeared in my wp-admin themes folder. When I click the “update now” button, this is what I get:
Update Theme
Download failed. Forbidden
Return to Themes page
wtf?
This is getting old really fast.
I’m having trouble updating. I’ve entered my u/n and API Key in the update manager several times and the program tells me that the theme is up to date. But it’s not. The version installed is 2.4.3. I downloaded the zip folder again, but I’m not sure how to upload it as an update. What should I do?
Another thing: the page that is being displayed as the index page is nothing like the home page I am designing. I don’t know what page it actually is. It looks like the breadcrumb title says “Blog”, but I’ve changed the blog pages to “draft” and it is still showing. What should I do?
I did A LOT of work on the Ken Burns slider and I do not want to lose it, but I also don’t know how to back anything up in WordPress. Please help asap!
Sharmstr,
I’m having a number of issues with this theme. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure them out prior to contacting you. I’m very frustrated.
1. Main menu font colors: How can I change the font colors of the main menu? I’m using the Community home default. I would like to have a white background for the logo, but since the menu is white it cannot be seen. I cannot figure out how to change it. I’ve tried the options under theme and appearance (over and over and over), but nothing works.
2. Header styling options: Where are the layout and styling options for the header? It’s obviously wrapped in some type of page overlay, and without access it makes it very difficult to proportion the other page columns and elements. The parameters displayed in “Header options” in the “Theme options” menu are quite limited and don’t contain margins, padding, color, font and other styling settings, etc.
3. Ken Burns Slider layout: I’m using the Ken Burns slider at the top of the page. There are 3 layouts: full screen, full width and boxed. They all display full screen. I’ve tried adjusting the layout options in the slider controls and in the layout options under theme. Nothing works. I want to adjust the height, or use a boxed layout.
4. Image carousel shortcode: Is there something wrong with this shortcode? I cannot adjust the display size of the carousel images. I’ve tried “medium, small, thumbnail”, and pixel dimensions. It refuses to change from full screen.
5. Sidebars: There must be a way to insert a sidebar on a page in a section underneath a full-width section, slider or element, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I’m trying to create a Facebook type layout under the slider. Doesn’t the theme support html sections on a page?
I also explored changing the global page layout setting in the theme, but that doesn’t change anything either. Something is overriding everything else.
Thank you for your help!
Scott Riley
