    Hi,  does anyone know how to add a newsletter signup in the footer like in the demo version of Proton? I've looked all over and can't find a widget/plugin for it...?

    Hi Bek,

    I've explained you in the other ticket, but here's the answer again.

    We added that as link to widgets at Appearance > Widgets as text widget.

    Hi,

    Thank you very much.  I think I'm slowly getting to grips with it all now, but I have a niggling worry that it's not all working as it should because of the error messages I get:

    Why do I get so many error messages when I install the recommended plug ins - Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /home/xxxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/wp/wp-admin/includes/class-bulk-upgrader-skin.php on line 152

    I get the same message when I install ACF Flexible Content, ACF Repeater, Portfolio Post Type, Redux Framework and WPBakery Page Builder(Visual Composer) which are all recommended.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled them but the same thing happens again.  Please could you let me know how I sort this out, thanks.

    Also.......Visual Composer...I can't see a great deal of difference between 'visual' and 'text' in the editor....they both have stuff like:

    [/proton_page_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_top_spacing="1" row_bottom_spacing="1"][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text] 

    in between my website text.  Is it supposed to be like this? Doesn't seem very visual if you have to work around this mark-up.

    Kind regards,

    Bek

    And the other thing about Visual Composer is that each time I use it to update any text the layout of the page I updated changes to fill the full screen and I don't know how to change it back again !!!!

    Hi Bek,

    1) Nothing to worry about the issue, simply your hosting is running out of memory limit when installing the plugins, if the plugins fail to install, you can try again to install them or talk to your host providers and tell them to increase your PHP settings.

    PHP Recommendations

    Memory Size: memory_limit = 256M
    Script execution time: max_execution_time = 400
    Number of input variables: max_input_vars = 4000
    

    If you don’t have access to the php.ini file, you can add the following values in your .htaccess file:

    php_value max_execution_time 400
    php_value memory_limit 256M
    php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
    

    Be careful using these settings, some hosting companies don’t allow users to change php settings, if you experience any problem after making these changes, please revert these in your .htaccess file, using your FTP client.

    2) Did you open the WPBakery Page Builder Editor? Please click Backend Editor on the top of the post or Edit with WPBakery Page Builder. https://prnt.sc/pzqtn7

    The panel will be easily to work, drag & drop. You can add the new elements by ticking on the huge + at the bottom of content. https://prnt.sc/pzqu6t -  https://prnt.sc/pzqu0d

    You can enable WPBakery Page Builder on different post type. https://prnt.sc/pzqueu

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.  That sounds okay.  I have access to the php.ini file so I might add those values.

    re: the Visual Composer....I didn't realise that  WPBakery Page Builder Editor used to be called Visual Composer - according to other users so I installed a separate  plugin called Visual Composer and tried to use that.....it wasn't compatible and I uninstalled it and all is well re: editing now.

    The only thing I can't get a grip on now is the custom css.  I added a few lines of css the other day and now WP won't forget them even though I've deleted them and cleared the browser cache about 10 times  Is there anywhere else that WP would store this information? At the moment many of my links are invisible and it's driving me crazy?

    Kind regards,

    Bek

    Hi Bek,

    You're welcome anytimesmile.png

    Well, there are three places where you can add CSS properly, so please check these three places.

    1. Theme Options > General > Custom CSS. 
    2. Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
    3. Proton Child > style.css

    If the CSS lines still appear, please provide me with an URL, so I check exactly from where that CSS is coming.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    I sorted out the problem I was having with the links custom CSS still hanging around after I'd deleted it.  I reset the styles section and it all came good :)


    Kind regards,

    Hi,

    Thank you for your help.  I've got all my portfolio page completed now and I've moved onto the blog page. Adding pages etc is no problem, but I can't find how I:

    a) display more than 2 blog posts on the blog landing page

    b) add pagination to the bottom of the blog landing page that says something like 'older posts' and 'newer posts'.


    Please could you point me in the right direction, thanks.

    Kind regards,

    Bek

    Hi Bek,

    1) Do you mean for the 2 columns? Simply edit the page via WPBakery Page Builder and in the blog element set the columns to 2. https://prnt.sc/q2xrvd

    2) Pagination will depend on the posts per page number, so please change that to a lower than your number of posts and it will appear.

    Kind Regards

    Hi,

    I've got my website live now and I'm very pleased with it :)

    https://www.bekcruddace.co.uk/

    I still have 2 issues:

    1. All my images in the individual portfolio pages are missing the alt text. When I look at the pages in view-> source I can see image alt=" ". I have definitely added alt text to each image in the media directory.  Obviously with something as visual as a portfolio it is very important that I find a way to correct this :) The images which are not on the individual portfolio pages display the alt text. Please could you let me know what I can do about this please, thanks. 

    2. Is there anyway I can update the individual portfolio page project description headings from a H3 to a H1 for SEO purposes? If I edited single-portfolio.php from the theme files and updated 

    <div class="project-description">
                            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

    to 

    <div class="project-description">
                            <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>


    would it have an impact anywhere else or would this be safe to do?

    Kind regards,Bek

    Hi,


    Thanks for your reply.  I've decided to display my portfolio images as images instead of a gallery so the image alt value ins't an issue anymore.

    re: individual portfolio page project description headings

    I'm very happy to do this if it is just a question of editing the single-portfolio.php file and updating

     <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

    to 

      <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

    Is this all I have to do?


    Kind regards,

    Bek
