Hi All,

I’m trying to change the footer information and have edited the code but for some reason it isnt showing up on my site. Have I done something wrong??

<?php echo apply_filters( 'vantage_footer_attribution', '’ . sprintf( __(‘© 2015 United Against Cancer. Web Design, Hosting and SEO by NE1WebDesign’, ‘vantage’), ‘https://siteorigin.com’) . ” ) ?>

site = united-against-cancer.com

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Kev.

    Hi Kev

    Thanks for reaching out. We recently introduced a few string replace for the footer theme settings field. Perhaps check those out, you might not need to do any customisation work.

    {site-title}
{copyright}
{year}

    Under Appearance >Theme Settings > General > Site Information Text any of the above strings can be used, in each case information will be outputted, the site title, a copyright symbol and a dynamic year. You can also use HTML in that theme setting.

    Are you able to restore the footer to it’s previous code, were you working in a child theme?

  2. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Unfortunately I cant restore it, do you have the code I can replace the code with?

    I’m new to website building and wordpress etc so it’s all very confusing at the moment.

  3. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Whenever a WordPress theme is updates the entire theme folder is overwritten. Editing theme files should ideally be a last resort. If you really need to, the edits should be made from the safety of a child theme. There is a fair bit of info online about this if you’re interested.

    For now I’d recommend re-installing the theme. Within your original order email from SiteOrigin is a download link to your ZIP file.

    Here are instructions for manually updating:

    https://siteorigin.com/basics/updating-theme-from-zip/

    No data will be lost.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Andy,

    I’ve managed to get the right information in the footer using your method above…

    Another thing I’m finding to have a problem with is when I try to change the “content heading color” it keeps referring back to the default.

    Thanks,

    Kev

  5. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Super.

    Is the setting saving in Appearance > Customizer? When you go back, is it the same color?

  6. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    When I go back it’s the color I’ve asked it to be, however, it’s grey on the site and not white?

  7. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Got you. Can you link to the page concerned and let me know which header you’re looking at. Thanks.

  8. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    http://united-against-cancer.com/

    It’s the home page and “Latest News” header.

  9. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    The Circle Icon widget is unfortunately running its own styling, try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS. Edit as required:

    /* Circle Icon - Icon Font Size */
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box .circle-icon [class^="icon-"] {
font-size: 24px !important;
}
/* Circle Icon Heading Color */
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box h4 {
color: #3b3b3b !important;
}
/* Circle Icon Text Color */
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box p.text {
color: #5e5e5e !important;
}
/* Circle Icon More Link */
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box a.more-button {
color: #3b3b3b !important;
}
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box a.more-button:hover {
color: #dd3333 !important;
}
/* Vantage set Circle Icon Widget Icon color */
.widget_circleicon-widget .circle-icon-box .circle-icon [class^="icon-"] {
color: #FFFFFF;
}

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find a good way to add charity buttons to my website united-against-cancer.com

    I’ve came across this website which has the social media icons on the left hand side of the screen that move up and down when scrolling. Would it be possible to have this format with donation buttons and also what widget is required?

    http://executivetravelnortheast.co.uk/

    Also on this website where they have customers near the bottom, what widget is that? I’d like to do something similar with our sponsors to give them publicity.

    Thanks,

    Kev

  11. Magus Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Kevin

    The floating social media icons are from this plugin:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-share-buttons-with-floating-sidebar/

    The Customer slider is from this plugin:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/logo-slider/

    Hope this helps

    Magus

  12. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Magus,

    Thank for that…

    I’m wondering, for some reason the logo’s are scrolling horizontally instead of straight, would you know why this is happening?

    united-against-cancer.com

  13. Magus Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Kevin

    I am not sure, what have you got in the slider settings for slider type. The default would be a horizontal scroll across the page. If you cannot get that one working the way you want then you could try this one:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/best-logo-slider/

    It does the same thing but to get the best out of it you may need to get the pro version.

    Magus

  14. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Thanks Magus, super helpful advice.

  15. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Andrew,

    Just wondering if you can help me with this…

    If you look at my site just below the photo slider there a grey line between the next row on the home page. How do I get it so that grey line is gone??

    Thanks,

    Kev

  16. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hey Kev, please check Appearance > Customize > Page > Page Background Color. I’m shooting from the hip here but I think that’s where that background color is coming from.

  17. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Yeah it is, that changes it to black, however it also changes the grey background which I want to keep.

    Is there a way of shortening the page?

  18. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    You should be able to set your page background to white if that’s preferred.

    You could shave 35px off this page by saying in Custom CSS:

    .home #main { padding-bottom: 0; }

    Hi chaps,

    I’m looking at creating rider profiles on my website but not sure what is the best way to do this…

    Is there a decent plugin to do this sort of thing>?

    Or would it be best to have it like team sky’s website? http://www.teamsky.com/teamsky/riders#OHGDcP002wcUfXrr.97

    Obviously if it’s like team sky’s then I’d assume it would be a photo with a link to a hidden page?

    Just wanting a good professional look about the site.

    united-against-cancer.com

    Thanks,

    Kev

  20. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Also…

    Is there a way of centering the page title?

  21. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hey Kev, this isn’t a bad time to look for a Team plugin. We’ll most likely have a widget for this in the future as part of our Widgets Bundle plugin, just not yet.

    Here is a good place to start your search:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=team

    It’s helpful checking user reviews.

    Try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS to center page titles:

    /* Center Page and Post Titles */
article.post .entry-header h1.entry-title, article.page .entry-header h1.entry-title {
  text-align: center;
}

    Hi All,

    I’ve added donation pages to the MENU bar on my site and I’m wondering if there’s anyway to add a customer logo in the background?

    If not, I’m wanting to add good customer logo’s as donation buttons on the site maybe as a floating sidebar, is this possible?

    united-against-cancer.com

    Thanks,

    Kev
    Thanks,

    Kev

  23. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hey Kev

    Floating sidebar, that would need to be handled by a plugin, starting your search at wordpress.org/plugins would be best.

    Using the https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-icons/ plugin you could add an image to a menu item. Perhaps check that out. It’s a really cool plugin.

  24. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for this I’ll have a look….

    Can you help me with something trivial, when I’m looking at the site on different browsers to firefox it’s not updating. Is this a cookies thing?

    Cheers,

    Kev

  25. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    Mmm not sure, Firefox is usually pretty good about that. I see you’re running a caching plugin. Try clearing the cache of your caching plugin, should do the trick :)

  26. Kevin Moore 10 years, 10 months ago

    Ha you have totally lost me there, how do I do that?

    I take it you mean within the theme?

  27. Andrew Misplon Staff 10 years, 10 months ago

    You’re using WP Super Cache, shooting from the hip, I think that’s Settings > WP Super Cache > Clear Cache, something like that.
