How can I add a social media icon to the social menu in the footer? In my case Pintrest.

Answer

Thank you for contacting us!

To add a social media item, you would need to add a custom link menu item to your social menu, with the URL to your account: https://www.pinterest.com/username

The Social Icon will automatically be added to your menu based on the URL used for the custom link.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance, we are glad to help!

Unable to change background image / texture / color

Sumiracle Web Design 6 years ago updated by carlosd 6 years ago 3

I am currently utilizing the Linx theme. Whenever I try to change the background image or pattern, it takes the changes and appears to load them, but then always overlays the shadow.png and concrete_seamless.png files from the theme over my chosen background (I just want solid white). I finally solved the issue by replacing those two files with blank white images, but this seems like a bug to me.  I don't want to have to do this everytime.

Using BoldGrid with Custom Post Type UI Plugin.

David Berner 6 years ago updated by jacqueems 6 years ago 1

Using BoldGrid with Custom Post Type UI Plugin. We use Custom Post Type UI plugin to allow our created pages / posts to be more organised under the REST API, can we use BoldGrid with them, or is it only Pages and Posts ?

Answer
jacqueems 6 years ago

You can add the following to your wp-config.php file above the line stating

"/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */":

// Filter the configuration of the post-and-page-builder.
require_once ABSPATH . '/wp-includes/plugin.php';
add_filter( 'BoldgridEditor\Config', function( $configs ) {
$configs['allowed_post_types'][] = 'custom_type';
return $configs;
} )

You'll want to change "custom_type" to whatever the new type actually is.

This full code block  also ensures that the code will not get overwritten during plugin or theme updates.

Hello Jessy - it appears that you tried to create another question in our older question system (which is in the process of being phased out).  Since all the details to your question are here, and this is the question & answer system that we are moving to, we will be responding to the issue here.

JT did answer your question with the appropriate information.  If you correctly add the "!important" flag in your CSS, then it overrides previous definitions.  If you are still having the problem, then please provide us with a URL of exactly where the problem is happening and we can investigate it in more depth. 

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

Kindest regards,

customize section is not showing my website to edit

Shauna Bittinger 6 years ago updated by jacqueems 6 years ago 2

when I click on customize >active site to edit my website nothing shows up. on the left side the only things that come up are: Widgets and Help and neither one let you do anything. Is there and issue with Bold Grid its self?

Answer
arnelc 6 years ago

Hello Smdinfo,

Sorry for the problem with the Customize section not showing. We cannot duplicate the issue here.  Make sure that you have the latest versions of BoldGrid and the themes that go with it.  Remember that if you have another theme framework (e.g. Genesis, Layers, etc.) loaded, then it may conflict with the BoldGrid plugin and themes.  Try testing BoldGrid without other plugins loaded and see if you can duplicate the issue you're seeing in your environment.  If you continue to have the problem, then please provide us more information on your domain, the version's you're using, the steps you're taking (so we can try to reproduce the problem), and a description of your WordPress installation (version, plugins, etc.).

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

Kindest regards,

Arnel C.

Uninstall BoldGrid

MAK 6 years ago updated by jacqueems 6 years ago 1

If I uninstall BoldGrid now.  Can I later re-install it and expect my

old pages to work again?  Will I be charged to re-install it?

Answer
support (Support) 6 years ago

Thank you for contacting us.


The BoldGrid Post and Page Builder uses specific markup to determine how to display the content properly.  As long as the old pages are not modified significantly they should work as expected if you reinstall BoldGrid.  BoldGrid can be installed as many times as you want, there is no additional charge for installing BoldGrid themes or plguins.


Please let us know if you have any additional questions, we are always happy to help!
