Classico (Victoria variant) New install demo content missing some things

Hi

Thanks a lot for your answers. I have done answers 2, 3, 4, 5.

I would like to create the banners myself. Do you have instructions please? I can create images myself, but what set of steps do I need to take using the Visual Composer Editor? Can you please provide a few steps, instead of doing this for me?

Also, I have created product catagories, and uploaded images for the backgrounds. On the demo, the background images are displayed with resolution 555x760px. However, on my site after import all demo for variant 1, the catagory backgrounds are displayed as 300×300, squares. Where do I alter this so the background images are displayed the same size as the original demo? (My images sizes were all cropped to 555×760)

Thanks.

In addition to the testimonials’ styling, please also refer to my previous post regarding image size on the home page not looking like the demo (see below)

As mentioned in previous post above, images on the Home Page that are supposed to be resolution 555×760 are being resized to 300×300. This includes product categories, and farther up the page, where is says Featured Products, Popular Products, New Arrivals and Last Minute. All of these have been resized to 300×300 thumbnails and are not displayed as their original sizes. VERY ANNOYING, LOL.

Sorry about that, I had uploaded the wrong .htpasswd file.

Please try again with same credentials.

Hi

I created a copy of your demo site on the URL I provided. For some reason, the site needs to be refreshed sometimes for both the testemonials and the blog section on the home page to show up. I have no idea why this happens, but only happens on this demo install I did for you.

So please refresh the home page a couple of times and the testemonials will show.

(note, I am using Cloudflare, so this may have an effect, or maybe is the updates to your own plugins)

Thanks very much. The Woocommemerce display setting worked very well, and the images are all the correct proportions now, looks much better indeed.

There is still a problem with parallax images behind the testimonials not always displaying. There seems to be an issue after plugin updates I think. Have you had anyone else mention this problem? I feel that Visual Composer seems to be broken. Bearing in mind that this was a fresh install. The Parallax image loads sometimes after a refresh.

With regards to the custom css to change the text on the testimonials. This will help me change the font settings myself in future. Please can you also kindly help me to remove the box surrounding the text? and also allow me to vary the width the text is within? The box is not necessary and clashes with the image background to be honest. I hope in future that your developers can ensure that the testimonials can be tweaked more easily, as its far too rigid. See the example theme I mentioned in the private section above for an example of how its implemented well with Visual Composer.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, have been waiting for the major issue of your out-of-date plugins to be sorted, as the site does not work with latest downloads you made available. (another support request thread)

The above .css solution works well, and from your css provided I was easily able to amend the text further to my requirements.

There are two remaining issues with the testemonials.

1. The testimonial author text remains grey, how do I add css to alter the colour, size font etc for this?
2. After adding a second testimonial, the navigation controls appear, but it looks awful. There are two left and right arrows in circles. I like these, but the colour needs to be amended, how can I do that? Underneath the testimonial and author is a secondary navigation control with two bullet points on a white background. I would like this background to be transparent, and also be able to turn it off completely to be left with the left/right arrows in circles.

Please kindly advise how to achieve this?

Hope this makes sense.

Regards

OK, I think I’ve cracked it by amended the css you provided earlier.

Here’s my updated version:

footer .container .widget-container .twitter-list li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #444;
margin-bottom: 1.0714em;
padding-bottom: 1.0714em;
}

blockquote.testimonials-text {
    color: #ffffff;
    font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;;
    font-size: 18px;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
}

blockquote.testimonials-text:after, 
blockquote.testimonials-text:before {
    display: none;
}

.testimonials-slider .owl-controls {
   background-color: transparent;
}

.testimonial-info .testimonial-author {
	color: #ffffff;
    font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif;;
    font-size: 18px;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
}

.owl-carousel .owl-pagination .owl-page span {
    display: block;
    width: 12px;
    height: 12px;
    margin: 5px 7px;
    opacity: 0.5;
    -webkit-border-radius: 20px;
    -moz-border-radius: 20px;
    border-radius: 20px;
    background: #ff0000;
}

The problem now remaining is that I set the testimonial to be a slider, with interval in milliseconds of 8000 (alsd tried many different values), but they do not slide from testimonial to testimonial as it should do. The end user can only use the bullet point navigation control underneath to go to the next one.

You asked me to update plugins. Please see the following support request ticket. It describes how I have complained about plugin updates available on your download page breaking the Classico site. I was advised by your colleagues to roll back to a version of plugins that are not secure according to ThemeForest.

Are you now saying that there are later plugins and you have updated Classico to a version later than v1.3 that now works? Please advise before I go updating and rolling back all over again?

Thank you Eva

I’ll check back here and confirm when its all working.

Kind regards

Still no theme update. The last update was v1.3 June 5th.

Site remains broken is I update to latest VC plugins.
