March 2, 2019 at 2:18 am #199000TeigheSpectatorHi, I just uploaded the blank child theme that came with my theme download from themeforest and my site is all messed up now. I figured out that a bunch of plugins got deactivated so I activated those again. I set up the menus again, but they were all unset. I started putting widgets in the instructor dashboard back but I can't remember all the default ones that were used for the student or instructor dashboards. Actually, a bunch of widgets that used to be in various pages are gone (such as the course page). The instructor and student dashboards are suddenly all shoved to the side. My course units are all disconnected from their respective classes! And the pages are narrower! See for comparison: Old site: http://mindfullofmagic.com/all-courses/ Current site: http://52.12.175.195/all-courses/ Help!!!March 2, 2019 at 2:19 am #199001TeigheSpectatorThis reply has been marked as private.March 4, 2019 at 7:58 am #199182loganMemberHello, Yes, yes activating new theme deactivate some plugins. but does not interfere with other configurations. Blank child theme is a blank theme with 0 codes.
- Please Re- activate all installed plugins.
- Delete browsers cache
- Re-save permalinks.
- check these pages are set in wp-admin > wplms > course manager > refer: http://prntscr.com/msvwhi
Also deactivate third party plugins if any install specially the cache plugin then try to add some widgets in course sidebar. let me know if it helps.
March 6, 2019 at 3:59 pm #199624TeigheSpectatorOk, so I did your steps and everything is set up again (mostly) but I'm still having some styling problems.- Alignment: First, the instructor/student dashboard is all pushed to the right and I can't figure out why...
- Size: The second major issue is that some of my pages have become significantly narrower in width.
March 7, 2019 at 1:39 pm #199757loganMemberHello, this is not coming from our codes. may be you have added some codes by your own. Have look here:March 7, 2019 at 5:52 pm #199817TeigheSpectatorNot that I'm aware of. Any code that I've added myself has been code that you have given me for other changes to the appearance. This is the following custom code that's been added and I don't see any grid changes in here: https://gist.github.com/Teighe/5c64d1722040e677939fa54920df9e0dMarch 8, 2019 at 1:14 am #199829TeigheSpectatorOk, so it looks like I have some minified style sheet that's overriding the margins, but it's overriding the margins with the correct margins. I haven't changed anything since I uploaded the child theme so do you know why this might have caused a miscommunication?March 8, 2019 at 1:18 am #199832TeigheSpectatorActually, no. It's not the correct settings for the margins. I don't know why it's being overridden. The only edit I made to the site in the last week is to upload the child theme.March 8, 2019 at 8:09 am #199885loganMemberHello, I really don't know what is causing this conflict. but Child theme is nothing, its a blank file. if you add some code into it it will run else it will run the codes from the parent theme. just because this is a blank theme. we do not need to update it. for this version number does not matter. we suggest to activate the child theme, if someone wants to change something in parent theme but when you update parent theme. all the modifications will be gone. to ensure that the changes remain forever, we suggest to add modification in child theme and for that reason child theme does not need the updates. I have added this code in customizer. .directory.course .container .row { max-width: unset !important;} Refer: http://prntscr.com/muysnjMarch 8, 2019 at 10:12 pm #199994TeigheSpectatorThat helped with the width of the course page. Thank you! The dashboard is still shifted to the right. Is there any chance that one of the plugins that got reset that comes with the theme, like BuddyPress, may have lost some of its demo-content settings?March 9, 2019 at 11:07 am #200028loganMemberSame explanation as above. extra styling code conflicting. deactivate all your third party plugin and then check if it resolves. if does not then add this code in wp-admin > appearance > customize > custom css > paste these lines. @media (min-width: 991px){.dashboard .wplms-dashboard.row {width: 850px !important;}} Refer: http://prntscr.com/mvfqit -
