Thanks Zed. At the moment I’m running the site on the parent theme and you can see this at http://www.buildingwildlife.org.uk I’m attaching an image which illustrates the problem with the Child template.

This shows how the text isn’t wrapped around the image (which is left aligned) and I’m not using the block editor. The image is merely inserted into the page using the page editor.

This page image also shows the sudden appearance of the “Skip to content” link. (see my post and your answer on https://www.cryoutcreations.eu/forums/t/removing-skip-to-content/?view=all#post-75987) I’m not using any visual aid addon. The reason you perhaps can’t see it on the live site is, as I said earlier, the site is at the moment running on the parent theme.

We’d rather not apply the excerpt length option to manual excerpts because this creates the need for even more conditional checks:
– disable manual excerpt if value is 0
– skip trimming if value is non zero (to avoid breaking use of HTML in manual excerpts)
beyond what’s already present in the code:
– detect and use manual excerpt if it exists (check for both manual excerpt field and the use of <!–more–> or <!–next-page–>)
– use automatic excerpt if manual doesn’t exist (and trim it to the configured value)

Fluida uses a fluid-design (hence its name) meaning that it adapts to the screen width. To do this, its width is configured by default to a maximum value of 1920px (and its elements rearrange to fit on narrower screens).

This behaviour is similar to responsiveness, but differs in that it applies to large screen/devices too.

While some of its elements can expand beyond its layout (namely the menu/header background, footer background and some landing page sections backgrounds), most of the structures cannot expand beyond the configured site width.

While assigning a header image you have the option to skip cropping it, resulting in the ability to use an image of any size (width) in the header area.
Featured images used automatically in the header by the theme do not skip this cropping and are automatically cropped to the configured screen width and header image height values.

Hi PaulT,

Thanks a lot for the feedback. We fixed all the IE11 issues we found and we’ll upload a new theme version really soon.

Have a great day!

Tried the plugin already; it doesn’t work appropriately.
The instructions to edit the functions.php work fine!
Will they be overruled by a theme-update?

NB. You need to put your blog-posts in a specific category, obviously.

Thanks for your help.

[Zed]

I believe you’ve found a hiccup in the theme which is visible with a specific menu configuration (not on top of header image but fixed). We’ll correct this in the next update.

Thank you for pointing this out.

I cannot confirm this issue, the content length option works fine in my tests (considering the same code is responsible for all featured boxes sections and it cannot behave differently depending on section).
Note however that the option applies to automatically generated excerpts only – manual excerpts defined for posts are always displayed as-is.

@Caveworks,

The error message indicates that the ‘htaccess’ plugin is not yet compatible with PHP 7.2

You can either contact its author about this and wait for them to fix that or look for an alternative (PHP 7.2) compatible plugin.

If a particular PHP version is available for selection it is generally usable (the hosting provider does not create PHP updates or security patches), but using an unsupported PHP release can open your site up to known or unkown vulnerabilities that will never get patched.

w.org is a WordPress-controlled domain.

The fact that the smilies are loaded from that location may be either because of some form of caching/image optimization functionality (like that provided by Jetpack) or perhaps the WordPress team decided to “optimize” the smilies by loading them off-site.

The file path you indicated is not inside the theme’s folder.

There is no catch-all solution.

Some customizations can be achieved solely with CSS (which doesn’t require any file edits to accomplish).

Other customizations require adjusting code:
– if that’s WordPress core functionality then there’s usually a filter or an action that can be used to connect your custom code to;
– if it’s theme functionality sometimes there is a filter or action hook available, other times the whole function providing the functionality is pluggable and in some cases the change requires entire files to be replaced (via the child theme).

The simplest/best solution varies on a case-by-case basis.

The asterisk is present in the labels, however the theme does not use the labels but field placeholders.

You can revert to the classic labels using custom CSS:

body .comment-form-author label, body .comment-form-email label, 
body .comment-form-email label, body .comment-form-url label, 
body .comment-form-comment label {
    display: inline-block;
}
#comments input::placeholder, #comments textarea::placeholder {
    color: transparent;
}

The footer has two sections:
body #colophon { /* widgets area */ }
body #footer2 { /* footer menu, socials, custom text */ }

Apply a custom CSS gradient background on whichever of those you wish to.

You can use a plugin like this one (I am not sure if it still works with the latest WordPress releases) or exclude an entire category from the homepage.

Actually, I have recently updated the theme to the latest version, again the header color is changed to white just in mobile device preview.
Could you also let me know how can fix this as well.
Thank you

I believe we’ve tracked this down to being caused by CSS/JS minifying.

You can place styling customizations in WordPress’ Additional CSS field (in the Customize section).

If the location of the new files coincides with that described in the code, the new smilies should work. 10 & 3 are add_filter() parameters.

Make sure you also clear the cache (both on the site and in your browser).

Some files (which are recognized by WordPress, like functions.php, templates, content templates: page.php, index.php, post.php, archive.php, so on) are automatically detected when present in the child theme folder.

Other files (everything that’s not a core file and we’ve added to the theme ourselves) is not automatically picked up. These files can sometimes be included using additional inclusion calls, or their individual functions can be overridden by simply being present in the child theme files.

As a general rule, the child theme should contain as little content as possible (code, style) to maintain best compatibility with future theme updates. Try to avoid copying whole files (especially the style or functions file) directly from the parent theme.

Setting the slider delay time to 0 doesn’t stop the transition (and most likely Chrome tries to perform it every 0 seconds).

To disable the slider transition I suggest using a very large value instead (keep in mind this is in seconds, so a value of several hours should suffice).

I believe the team that decided to add the badge at the exact location where most sites already had some kind of functionality (back to top button, cookies notification, so on and so forth) should have taken this under consideration.

Hi, I’m finding this problem as well when viewed on an iPad (iPad Pro); click the top nav won’t trigger any sub-menus to open. Mind checking in to this to see what the issue may be?

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the feedback. Header image issues should be fixed in the next update.

I see you managed to hide the site logo.

To hide the text area titles add code to the Additional CSS field:

.lp-text-title {
   display: none;
}

And another followup. I found that removing Mailchimp from the Widgets area was sufficient to fix the problem, just leaving a Mailchimp sign-up form on one of the pages. So the problem isn’t with the overall Mailchimp plugin, but just the particular use of it as a widget.
This is probably a reasonable work-around.

[jgcordes]

A followup on the problem I posted about yesterday: I found that deactivating the MailChimp plugin on the site seems to fix the problem. The problem looks as though some javascript is disabling mouse actions on the post – unable to select text and link not working.
I have no idea how to deal with this interaction problem between Mailchimp and Mantra v3.1.0. My society really does need Mailchimp working, so people can sign up to our mailing list. Is there some hope of a solution, please?

In lieu of a response, I opened a ticket with my webhost and they identified and resolved the issue.

[Francesca]

Like you said, I found out that on http://www.ceip-formazione.it the problem is caused by a plugin (Ginger Cookie). But on http://www.vindicio.it/maremoto I have the same problem and it’s not the plugin’s fault. What can I do?

The code edit I indicated applies to all posts and doesn’t apply to any (static) pages.

Pages do not normally appear in lists where their titles are clickable links.

We’ve tracked down an issue after a recent update with the spam check blocking the forms entirely in some instances. That is resolved now, sorry about the trouble.

1. The homepage is a special section for WordPress, which uses the site title, unless a static page is assigned as the homepage in which case that page’s properties will be used instead.

2. The menu behaviour is configurable in the theme options.
