Vantage theme issues

Hello all,

There is a problem with the plugins i use, probely the one of downloads and contact page.
Sure i like the vantage theme. i have already the premium, but why there is no contact page of vantage theme?
Every contact form i add to my plugins gives me a lot of problems, also is there any portfolio for this vantage theme with some nice slides to show my design stuff? i have already downloaded a lot of plugins and there is no plugin that is perfect without problems (blanco pages when activad plugins).

Greetings Stefan Dijk

    Hi Stefan

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms, all should work 100% with Vantage. Try testing your form with only that plugin and SiteOrigin plugins active, de-activate all other plugins.

    Vantage unfortunately doesn’t have a portfolio feature yet. As an alternative it’s possible to add portfolio items as posts and use a Post Loop widget to grab your portfolio category and display it on your portfolio page.

      Hi andrew

      Thanks for your help, ill check the plugins. I hope its works.
      Ill wait for the portfolio if it comes. I hate it when i need splugins and it doesnt work.
      There are so many nice plugins, but the most of it doesnt work.

      Thanks for the advies.

    Hi, I Work Here

    For sure, I can appreciate the frustration. With situations like that, try remove as many things as possible. So leave the contact form plugin and leave our Page Builder plugin, turn all other plugins off, then test again. It’s a good place to start troubleshooting the problem.

      Hi andrew

      But the meta slider and siteorigin bundle is from the vantage thema to?
      so thats the plugins i can use on vantage right?

      1. siteorigin bundle
      2. meta slider
      3. page builder
      4. the contact forms you told me

      Is that correct?

    Hi, I Work Here

    There shouldn’t be any issues with that combination of plugins.

    If you send through a link to the page with your contact form and let us know what problems you’ve run into we’ll do our best to help.

    • 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

      I have try all 3 of the contact forms you told me, but everytime when i click on the anything on the admin panel menu it gives me again blanco page, i need to remove everytime from the ftp.

      Nothing is working

    Hi, I Work Here

    This sounds like a larger core problem you’ve run into. Let’s start by increasing the memory available to WordPress in your installation:

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/fix-wordpress-memory-exhausted-error-increase-php-memory/

    It is a technical task so you can also ask your hosting company to help. They can make a similar change for you in the php.ini file which you don’t have access to.

    • 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

      Uhm, i seems like i know the problem.

      I was trying to sell my web layouts, but i cant upload more then 5mb says the wordpress when im uploading.
      Someone hes change something on my ftp to can upload more then 400MB.

      i saw on the link this 1
      define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
      so maby thats the problem because he change the limits?

  5. 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

    And i dont understand the scripting of all that php files, i cant change that by my self.
    Then i blow up my site lol, and thats not what i want. Maby installing the whole wordpress again on ftp with the vantage theme?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Try setting your memory limit to 256, that’s the maximum. The maximum file upload size is another setting.

    (http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/)

    Sorry, not quite following your last reply. Re-installing WordPress is an option but if memory limit is the problem then the same issue will re-occur.

    • 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

      Oke its better not to re install.

      Can you make that for me? ill send you my acces, i hope you will do that for me.
      I dont understand thinks like that.

      I think if i do something wrong on ftp its dead, so i can start over again.

    Hi, I Work Here

    It’s unfortunately a little beyond our support scope. WordPress memory allocation is a pretty common challenge, I’d suggest asking your hosting company if they can up your memory allocation to 256. They can make the change in the php.ini file. Hopefully it’ll help the challenge you’re facing.

  8. 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

    Oke i will call them, hopefully they can help me with this issues.

    Thanks

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Stefan

    Sorry to hear about the hassle. That warning is usually hosting related. Have you perhaps reached out to your hosts about this?

    Thanks

      Hi andrew,

      The website is back online, i hace re install wordpress with the vantage theme.

      For so far the plugins i use

      Meta Slider
      Page Builder by SiteOrigin
      SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle

      Its works now, i dont have any issues so far, ill try to add now one of the contact forms.
      Is there any cool gallery that i can use on the vantage theme to show my web desigsn and wallpaper designs?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Super, glad to hear you’re making progress.

    There are many options in the gallery space. What I quite like using is Jetpack Tiled Galleries in conjunction with Jetpack Carousel. Carousel is a full screen lightbox that opens once you’ve clicked on a gallery image.

    Now it gives me an blanco page again when I activate the jet pack plugin.
    So this plugin doesn’t work with the other plugins.

    Hi, I Work Here

    I don’t think that’s the case. We routinely test and use the exact combination of plugins you’re making use of now. I think the problem is the amount of memory your WordPress installation has access to. So it’s more about the number of plugins you have added and not what those plugins are.

    Were you able to chat your hosts about upping memory?

    • 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

      Sure. Ill contact them tomorrow.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Super, hopefully that’ll help resolve.

    • 9 years, 5 months ago Stefan Dijk

      Andrew,

      I need to make an “.htaccess” file, and add it to the homedirectory.
      And past this php_value memory_limit 256M into the “.htaccess”
      or something like that they say to me.

  15. 9 years, 5 months ago Andrew Misplon
    Hi, I Work Here

    Sure. WordPress already has an .htaccess file in the root folder. For more on how to edit it, see:
