I’ve been building my site on Vantage and I love it! Very few problems. However, on Android (haven’t checked Iphone) the menu goes flying by to the right and usually lands off screen and i can scroll over to use it. Sometimes it begins bugging out with the arrows scrolling up and other weird behavior. It used to work and I haven’t tried disabling plugins yet. I just thought it might be an obvious problem (though I searched and didn’t find any other similar cases).
Hi Jake
This does sound like it could be a plugin conflict issue. Can you try disabling all non-SiteOrigin plugins and see if this fixes the issue? If it does fix the issue, then try re-enabling your plugins one by one until the issue comes back. This procedure will help diagnose which plugin is causing the issue.
Once we know that, we’ll be able to look at what might be causing the conflict and either solve the problem or help you find an alternative plugin.
Thanks

Hi Magus,
I should have done that already as that’s the first thing always, right?! I’ll do that and report back.
Thanks,
Jake
Hi Magus,I've deactivated all plugins and it's still an issue. Any ideas?Thanks,Jake
Hi Jake
Have you made any alterations to the core theme files or added any custom CSS. I can’t check at the moment as the site is in maintenance mode
Magus
I haven't changed anything in the code except a quick mod to allow js in widgets. I'll take it off maintenance mode asap.

Hi Jake
I have just checked and the menu is now behaving normally for me, can you confirm?
Did you undo any of your alterations or leave any plugins disabled.
Magus
Still flying around like crazy for me. Looks like you're on Android right? I'll check on a friends phone.

Hi Jake
It is gone again.
The only thing I can see so far is a js error in the portfolio gallery plugin you are using.
Could you please temporarily disable this plugin.
Thanks
Magus
I disabled the plugin. ..same effect for me. Quick check of a few phones shows all iPhones are fine and 2 androids not.

Hi Jake
Something is interfering with the js which is controlling the CSS for the responsive menu, but only on the android browser.
Could you please tell me what alterations you made to allow js inside of widgets and if possible post the js you have added inside of code tags as explained below the reply box.
Thanks
Magus
I can find that for you when I get home this evening. Thanks a lot.
Hi Magus this is what I thought I installed: // Enable shortcodes in widgetsadd_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
or this:
// Enable PHP in widgetsadd_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){
ob_start();
eval("?".">".$html);
$html=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
}
return $html;
} but looking through functions.php I can't see anything!? I can't remember why I wanted this but I had a bookmarked page for it!
Also I changed the CSS for Buddypress:/* Menu */
.main-navigation a {color: #f27722 !important;}
Does any of this look like a good candidate?Thanks for all your help,Jake
Hi Jake
It doesn’t look like you’re running a child theme. A quick reminder that changes to theme files won’t survive a theme update. Ideally you should move your changes to a child theme and then re-install the parent theme to restore it to default. That’ll let us test with default Vantage. If you need a starter child theme you can find one here:
https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/vantage-child-starter.zip
You are correct. I plan to make a child asap!
Hi Jake
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. There does not seem to be anything there that could case the issue you are having. If you can change to a child theme and reinstall Vantage Premium then we can have another look when the files in the main theme are back to original.
Magus
Sounds like a good plan. Thanks and I'll get back to you when I finish the child
Hi Magus,I've gotten a child made and Activated but it's coming up with no style: http://www.profoundstudio.net/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=style.css&theme=Vantage+Child&scrollto=0 am I placing the @import line correctly? This is using bluehost.Thanks,Jake
Hi Jake
You should not be using @import any more as it has been deprecated in WordPress in favour of the enqueue method.
Please ensure that your child-theme functions file contains at least these elements.
<?php // Exit if accessed directly if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; // BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION // Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below: if ( !function_exists( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css' ) ): function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() { wp_enqueue_style( 'chld_thm_cfg_parent', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' ); } endif; add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css' ); // END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION ?>Magus
Great Thanks Magus,Just to confirm I don't need anything in the style.css file like @import to pull style elements from the parent. The enqueue code placed in the functions file will do that now?Thanks again,Jake
Hi Jake
That is correct, the only thing in your CSS should be your child-theme declarations and any custom CSS you may want to add to it to replace changes you made in the original theme style.css.
Magus
Hi again Magus,I've finished the child. Thanks for the help on that! What are you thinking IRT my crazy android flying menu problem? Any Ideas? I know you mentioned a js error in HUGE-IT portfolio plugin.Thanks again,Jake
Hi Jake
Your site is still displaying as having no child-theme. Can you confirm that you have activated the child. If so please post the content of your child theme style.css file.
Thanks
Magus
Hi Magus,You're right I didn't activate it and when I did it's still not pulling. I started adding the elements you gave me into the child theme and must have screwed up royally because my site is totally unresponsive right now! profoundstudio.netIf you remember I gave you my hosting login earlier. Could you check in to this?!Thanks,Jake
Hi Jake
I don’t recall getting any hosting details from you. Was it perhaps from a different thread?
If not then could you please repost them here in a private reply
Thanks
Magus
Oh maybe so how do I reply privately? I'm on (sadly still) yahoo mail

ok there you goBluehost has brought it back up by disabling child and activating parent. The only problem I see now is the 3 icons on the front page won't display the image inside (bullhorn/camera/book)
Hi Jake
The images are appearing correctly for me. I have tried logging in with the above details to check your child-theme but the login is refused as incorrect.
Would it be possible for you to create a temporary admin account for us so we can log in and take a look? You can create the account with the following email address:
[email protected]
Just navigate to Users > Add New in your WordPress admin. Enter siteorigin for the username and [email protected] for the email address. Make sure you’ve selected Administrator for the role and enabled the “Send Password” field so we receive the details.
Once we’re finished taking a look, you can delete this account. We’ll let you know when to do that.
Thanks
Magus
Hi again magus,Yes the icons are correct now. I'll setup a temp admin tonight.
Thanks for all your help to a complete noob!Jake

Hi Jake
I have fixed your child theme and activated it, and replaced the version of Vantage Premium with a clean copy.
The issue with the menu is being caused by the Bookly Plugin which is intercepting the jQuery for the Mobile Menu. It seems to be part of a function to resize images but I cannot be certain. When this adjustment is then passed through the jQuery to move the menu panel across the page the same function is then used by the menu effectively doubling the movement.
With this plugin disabled the menu works correctly.
To bypass this issue I have disabled the theme responsive menu and installed a responsive menu plugin which has separate js for the animation.
Let us know what you think
Magus
Hi Magus,THANK YOU! It looks better than the typical menu and works perfectly. Great customer service from you guys. Will the menu survive theme updates?Thanks again,Jake
Hi again Magus,Thanks once more for the help with the mobile menu. I wonder if there's anything you can do for my Buddypress groups being all jumbled up on mobile (android AND iphone this time). I just hit them up but they punted it over to you guys! This is the last problem of this type to figure out before launching this sucker!
http://www.profoundstudio.net/bp-user-groups/rb-production-group/
Thanks again!Jake
Hi Jake
Yes the menu will survive theme updates. What seems to be the problem with the groups?. I have had a look and the buddy press items when logged into a group are not responsive for small screens. The items have no media queries attached so when the screen size is reduced the display gets screwed.
eg. the group admin section is fixed at 20% of the overall screen width so on an iPhone this would be 10px wide.
Please try adding this to your custom CSS at Appearance->Custom CSS
@media screen and (max-width 640px) { #buddypress div#item-header div#item-actions { width: 40% !important; } #buddypress form#whats-new-form p.activity-greeting { line-height: 1em !important; } }Magus
This is a private message.
Hi Jake
Apologies, there should be a colon in the media query please replace with this
@media screen and (max-width: 640px) { #buddypress div#item-header div#item-actions { width: 40% !important; } #buddypress form#whats-new-form p.activity-greeting { line-height: 1em !important; } }That's it!!! You are the man! Thanks again for all your help Magus. I already rated the theme on WP as well as your service.
Hi Jake
Many thanks for that. If you need any more help please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.
