WOOPRESS theme questions

GENERAL

1. Can I change the colour of the social media icons/Submit/pageination buttons? They are black currently, changing to red when rolled over.

MAIN (TOP) NAVIGATION

2. Could you let me know how to add an icon to a menu item as I’d like to add the Pinterest icon to one of my main links.

HEADER

3. How do I remove/change the image from the breadcrumbs background? (I’m using the Parallex left style) and is it possible to have a different background for each page/product/category?

4. Was wondering about why the code for showing the breadcrumbs repeats the main page title.
ie.

“Home/ Sofa beds / Ash regular use of sofa bed
ASH REGULAR USE OF SOFA BED”

Any way of removing the first use of the page title? so displaying this instead?

“Home/ Sofa beds
ASH REGULAR USE OF SOFA BED”

PRODUCT PAGE LAYOUT

5. Due to incompatibility with the “product filter” plugin I’m using and the hidden side bar function, I’ve worked with that plugin author for a filter solution which I think works. However, I cannot work out how to show the user the choices that they made from using this filter. If I’m not mistaken in the past I was able to display this information on the page – or am I mistaken.

SINGLE PRODUCT PAGE

6. Is there a simple way of switch which column the description copy and the product images/gallery display? Our client has asked for this option and it kinda makes sense as the description (including video) always far of balances the image gallery and looks better balanced on the left.

7. As you can see I’ve “display:none;” the prev/next product buttons but the text below doesn’t seem to align top vertically so there is a gap. Why is this?

8. Is there an easy way to switch the REVIEWS on/off?

9. !! And the most important question really from me: Is there an easy way to add tabs for each product? I notice you can add a tab within the THEME OPTIONS to go after the DESCRIPTION but that would appear for every product and not be specific to each product.

I would be fantastic if there was an option per product to add a tab/s so that this information would be specific to each product. Did you have any thoughts on adding such a feature as this is the most useful option my client needs for their sites for easy product additions and updates.

Got to mention as well we love this theme and glad we swapped from our previous theme which just wasn’t what we needed – well done and keep up the good work.

Please, contact administrator

Hello,

1. Please show a page where social icons are shown and specify if you want to change background color of the icons or color of icons themselves.

2. Please refer to this article:
https://www.8theme.com/blog/how-to-add-social-media-icons-to-wordpress-menus/

3. You can change breadcrumbs background in Theme Options > Color Scheme > Breadcrumbs background. If you want to set different background images for different pages then go to Pages > edit a page > upload image in “Background image for breadcrumbs” field in “Page Layout” box.

4. Add this code in Theme Options > Global Custom CSS:
```
.breadcrumbs span.current {
    display: none;
}
```
5. You can use Woocommerce Layered Nav Filters widget in Appearance > Widgets and add it into “Shop Sidebar” area.

6. Sorry, but there is no such possibility.

7. Please show the issue on a screenshot and give us a direct link of the page.

8. Please refer to this article:
https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/203447633-How-to-Disable-Product-Reviews

9. You should refer to Woocommerce documentation regarding this question:
https://docs.woothemes.com/document/editing-product-data-tabs/

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Thank you for getting back quickly 🙂

1. This took me some time, but I’ve managed to work out all the icons/buttons that need to be a different colour and changed according.

2. Thank you – done 🙂

3. You can change breadcrumbs background in Theme Options > Color Scheme > Breadcrumbs background.
This option isn’t on my screen:

Yes I would like to have a different background, but for products and/or categories.. can this be done?

4. I’ve entered that code into the Global Custom CSS and the breadcrumbs still shows the page title repeated above in small type.. ?

5. I’ve placed the WooCommerce Layered Nav filter into the ‘Shop Sidebar’ widget and this doesn’t appear in the left side bar. Weirdly if I place another widget like the testimonals in this sidebar, that doesn’t appear either?

6. Ok thanks.

7. I seem to have managed to remove whats needed and the description text now lines up with the baseline aligned with the image.

8. As yet to implement.

9. Hmmm.. I’m happy to try this but wish this was working within your Theme options. I’m assuming the way forward is to now start using a child theme?

Hello,

3. That image is added in Shop page editor:
http://storage8.static.itmages.com/i/15/1006/h_1444130935_3935025_71e91cb2f1.png
Unfortunately there is no option to set different background for products and categories, only for pages.

4. In this case you can remove breadcrumbs using this css code:
```
.page-heading .woocommerce-breadcrumb {
   display: none;
}
```
5. The problem is caused by “Woocommerce Product Filter” plugin. Disable it and check sidebar after that.

9. Yes, all changes should be made in child theme not to lose modifications after theme update.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Thanks Jack.

9. Regarding using the child theme, I’ve read your documentation but I’m not sure on how to add this without losing what I’ve done so far. I can of course copy my Global Custom CSS, but not confident implementing this child theme 🙁

I’ve looked inside the woopress-child’ folder that I’m meant to place in the themes folder. ‘functions.php’ and ‘style.css’ – can I just copy my existing versions of these files into this folder before unloading? or am I understanding this incorrectly?

Please help.

Hello

You may add your code and styling to these files. Your code from style .css to Child theme/style.css and same way for fuctions.php.

Thank you for your quick response 🙂

Ok I’ve overwritten my existing versions of these files into the woopress-child folder and now uploaded that to the /themes folder.

Do i need to do anything else to be using the child theme or can I now just continue to work on the site?

Hello.

I have modified Child Theme heading for Style.css and fuctions.php and now Child theme is working. Please pay attention that duplicated styles or fuctions from main theme may work twice and cause main styles or fuctions to load twice. You may add just your customized code below wording:
//your custom styles below for style.css
and
//Your custom functions below for fuctions.php.
Please navigate to the appearance-> themes and enable Woopress child theme to check it.

Brian Johnson

I enabled the Woopress child theme and error (shown in private content)

Also after this is working, should the possibility of there being dup styles/functions be zeroed once the theme is updated? as the parent theme will be different and the child will be there untouched?

Sorry – first time for doing this 🙂

Hi there,
Thanks for making it accessible again.

However, there do seem to be some weird changes that have happened since all this.

1. Icons on the main top menu aren’t showing, as well as the ‘add to wish list’ roll over on the product shop page.

2. If I view a category page this seems to either be an old page layout (with a sidebar using a ‘teaser’) to showing MY CART under the product description. Very strange.

3. I cannot seem to access my products from the wp-admin – when clicked it gives me: (private content [A])

4. This also seems to be the case if I try and access the shop page – gives the same error as [A]

5. For the ‘product data’ tab on each product page display this warning: (private content [B])

Is there anything else I should be wary of that hasn’t carried over? I hoping this doesn’t put me back work wise 🙁

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

I have removed error line. Regarding the visual changes – please try refresh browser. Be advised that some css visual artefacts may come because of duplicated styles in Child theme and Main theme.

Sorry Brian.

Error is still appearing on product pages, under the ‘PRODUCT DATA’ tab.

And more worryingly, the link for ‘/SHOP’ in the megamenu still comes up with that error (listed above), and I cannot access PRODUCTS in the WordPress frontend (error). Please advise.

Would it be advisable to overwrite the original functions.php and style.css using the latest build files?

Hello

This error message appeared because single product cannot handle additional tab. Please change type for all products in dasboard->products to “variable” or remove your snippet from the fuctions.php of the Child Theme.

Brian Johnson

Hi,

Oh if this is the case then I’ll remove it.

A few posts before I asked how the tabs actually work – depending on your answer is how I approach these tabs. Sorry you didn’t answer. Currently how the theme is set up it just seems easier to use the ‘adding 1 custom tab’ when amending a product.

IMPORTANT!
Could you please look at because its broken:

1.The fact I cannot either view the products within WordPress anymore

2. The link to SHOP also comes up with an error.

Hello Eva.

That is VERY strange. Since yesterday I’ve had these errors on my Mac. Since your last response I’ve tried it on a PC elsewhere and there are no errors.

So no problem here. I’m sorry for wasting your time on this issue. Thank you and your team for your support 🙂
