I checked several of your themes and that functionality is available for some. So it can be done but I’m having difficulty in getting it to work. Surely, you can provide some guidance on how I can do this?

Again, as the warden said in “Cool Hand Luke”, what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Yes, I know that the Post Type Order plugin changes the order of your 3 box section on the Online Consulting ProVersion: pro 1.1 theme.

What I’m trying to impress on support is that this is a ‘terrible’ way to handle this. Themes shouldn’t use default WordPress functions just because of this potential conflict with plugins.

Your development team should change this to an array inside the theme settings. I have resisted reverse engineering any companies themes as that just brings in another level of hassle when logic should dictate how theme order is handled.

Let’s stop this thread right here. I won’t respond but I ‘highly’ encourage that your theme developers read this thread. I do like your themes and have purchased the lifetime package. But I will point out issues that shouldn’t be occurring such as this one.

Again, I understand I have to disable the ‘Post Types Order’ plugin.

But you haven’t answered the ‘true’ question. Why? Why you even have your themes using default WordPress functionality such as post order. This is fraught with problems.

[Lucius Douglas]

Email thread so others will understand the problem.

Support:
The services section ordering issue is getting due to the ” Post Types Order ” plugin
I have deactivated the plugin. Now the services section is looking fine

My Response:
But now that affects the ability to order posts. Why in the world that plug-in would have ‘any’ effect on a theme is simply dumbfounding. Is there a workaround?

Support:
The services section pages will display in the order which is set by the Post Types order plugin.

My Response:
But why? One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. If your code is using WordPress functions to arrange the order, you need to change that. It’s logical. You stipulate which is the 1st section, which is the 2nd section and which is the 3rd section. A simple array would handle the order. Using default WordPress functionality to handle this brings conflicts such as this one into play. It’s NOT the way to handle it.

Now I have to figure out a way to list posts in the order the client wants without screwing up their home page. This is frustrating.

Listen, I’ve developed websites from scratch my first few years before changing to CMS platforms. I understand using shortcuts to save coding but this is not one that your website theme developers should have taken as WordPress default functions are constantly being altered by plugins for enhanced capabilities such as the Post Type Order plugin.

I recommend you add this to your list of functions to change.

Credentials sent.

I agree. This option is not available. However, as you are using most of the settings on all of your themes, especially the Elementor based themes, it would be nice to have an export/import capability. Add it to your ‘future development list’. 🙂

Right now, I have to save each individual block and field to a text editor, change the theme, then copy/paste into the new theme settings. Regretfully, if you go back to a previous Grace Theme, it shows the default settings. Truly, any customization should be saved with the theme, even if it is inactive and if activated, should use the prior customizations.

In fact, if you can ‘standardize’ on your fields, then add an option to retrieve customizations from other themes, that would truly be awesome.

You’re doing great work but a few additional functions will truly make it world-class.

[Lucius Douglas]

Do you have a list of your themes that are based on the Elementor plugin? I have a lifetime package.

[Lucius Douglas]

That won’t work as I have two shortcodes, one for mobile & one for non-mobile.

If you inspect the home page, https://divorcetoolbox.online, you will see the header.php DIV container for ‘smartslider’. It’s the PHP code inside that isn’t executing or showing. It’s legimate code.

However, if I can use shortcode in the theme slider options, where would I put it?

[Lucius Douglas]

Never mind! I found the solution.

In the footer.php file, I changed the query line to:

query_posts(‘post_type=post&cat=148&showposts=4’);

Worked fine!

[Lucius Douglas]

I know I’ve said this in other posts but, to be honest, on threads like this, it would be great if the ‘coder’ would come back to the thread and explain ‘with samples’ what he did to fix the issue. Many of us can do programming (I’ve been doing it for 45+ years) but I resist reverse-engineering anyone’s code.

[Lucius Douglas]

Again, it’s Dec 2023 and the solution to this same problem is missing. You requested login so you could fix it but, seriously, if you just explain how you fix things, it would reduced the number of support threads.

I sent a password reset for your account.

The problem is NOT the image. The logo image on desktops/laptops has a height of 125px which is what I want it to be as it overlaps the navigation menu but on mobile it should be below the top bar and above the ‘header-contact-info’ DIV. This is the same height for all devices.

The problem is that the media query CSS code I have is not being recognized for the ‘logo’ DIV which has the image inside the DIV. It is set to 80px which means part of the text is intruding on the ‘logo’ DIV. That’s why I am attempting

@media screen and (max-width: 980px)
.visible-phone {display:block !important}
.visible-tablet,
.visible-desktop,
.visible-large {display:none !important}
.header-area .container .logo {
height: 125x !important;
max-height: 125px !important;
}

However, the following CSS media query is recognized from the responsive.css file.

@media screen and (max-width: 980px)
.logo {
position: relative;
width: auto;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
top: auto;
max-width: none;
}

The media query is the same on both.

So why isn’t the code in the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS recognized? It should take precedence.

I tested this on Chrome, Edge and Firefox on both my desktop with the browser reduced in width to a size of 485px as well as on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. None of the code is recognized.

FYI, I have cleared my

[Lucius Douglas]

Thanks. That worked but I didn’t like the layout and it would require too much CSS so I’ll just use Elementor for the page.

[Lucius Douglas]

So this is a 6 year old post and all you said was “The changes has been completed”. Yet you didn’t explain what you did to fix the problem.

Give a man a fish and he won’t be hungry for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he’ll never be hungry.

Teach us so we don’t have to come back with the same problems over and over. We can read!
