    Hi Diego,

    Thanks a lot for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear your having trouble with your BoldGrid Cloud WordPress instances.

    Can you review your account please and let us know if you have the ability to deploy new Cloud Instances? When I’ve seen this issue it commonly effects sites that were added with your older subscription. Your available cloud instances will likely show 1/6 sites instead of 1/5 like you actually purchased. If you have a backup of the current Cloud WordPress instance you could try deploying a new instance and uploading the backup.

    We can also try accessing your account and addressing the issue directly. You can reach out to Premium Support by clicking the Premium Support link towards the bottom of the BoldGrid Central help page to give us permission to do so.

    I hope this helps! We’re right here if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Neil,

    Thanks so much for reaching out with your BoldGrid questions! Unfortunately, we do not offer an affiliate program at this time. Our plans were meant to be used to enhance your WordPress development workflow and you do have the ability to purchase as many licenses as you need and use them in your personal and client projects as you see fit.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks so much for reaching out and thank you for hosting with our premium partner InMotionHosting!

    We make WordPress to WordPress transfers really simple with our Total Upkeep backups and migrations plugin. All you need to do is have Total Upkeep installed and activated on both WordPress sites and take a backup of the original website using the plugin which you can then transfer to the new instance.

    There a few different ways to complete a transfer with Total Upkeep. The recommended way is to create a magic link and download the backup directly into the destination site.

    If, for some reason, you cannot use the Download Link option to transfer your backup from the previous server to the new one then the best way to migrate that backup is to directly upload your backup file to the new location.

    The first step is to download the backup from Total Upkeep to your local machine. After downloading the backup, open up the WordPress dashboard for your new website and navigate to Total Upkeep > Backup Archives.

    Once you have the Backup Archives opened click the Upload Backup button. You should then see two options to upload your backup, the Download Link option at the top and the File from Local Computer on the bottom. Use the Local file option and select the backup archive file you downloaded previously to upload it to your website. You should now see the Backup listed in your archives on the new website, ready to be restored.

    For the second half of your question if you would like to create an exact instance of the website you would need a copy of all files as well as the full database stored locally or on some type of web server.

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks a lot for reaching out and thank you for using BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress!

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble displaying your primary menu. Post and Page Builder doesn’t have any control over your menu settings that would be something handled by your GeneratePress Theme.

    If you recently switched themes you may need to reconfigure your menu locations but it would be best to reach out to GeneratePress support for direction on how to do so.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi Jennifer,

    Thanks so much for reaching out with your BoldGrid Cloud WordPress questions!

    If you already have an account with us you shouldn’t need to create a new one in order to upgrade. The option is available through your BoldGrid Central account.

    I tried looking up your account info with the URL and Email address you provided in the thread unsuccessfully. Would you perhaps have a different email or website address that you could provide us with to look up your account?

    We look forward to hearing from you and assisting you further with this!

    Hi Roy,

    Thanks for reaching out with your Crio Pro WordPress theme questions!

    You should be able to change the color of your font by clicking on the text itself to highlight it then select the “T” or “Text” Icon from your editor tools to bring up the text settings.

    Once you have those settings up you can click the “Color” control to change your font color then save your changes.

    Hi Isable,

    This plugins purpose is to actually take the google fonts used on your website and automatically serve them locally. You shouldn’t need the pro version for this functionality. If you visit the Optimize Google Fonts plugins settings you should see Cache Status option under the task manager.

    All you need to do is click the “Start Optimization” link to cache your stylesheets into your database and the site should begin to serve them locally.

    Hi Danielle,

    Definitely contact your web host about resource allocation if the problem persist. They should be able to help you increase you server limits or at least clear up enough space to allow your backup to complete.

    If you still have trouble don’t hesitate to reach back out with your so that we can review your new backup logs and continue to troubleshoot this issue with you.

    Hi Thomas,

    Thanks for reaching out and for using BoldGrid’s Speed Coach website performance test.

    I’m sorry to hear your having problems with Speed Coach. One common issue I always see is, if you’re entering your website address exactly like you did in this question, i.e. www.development.example.com, the reason the test is failing is because there is no DNS for the www. sub-sub-domain.

    Instead, enter your website address like so: development.example.com.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Joe,

    Thanks for reaching out with your Crio Pro WordPress theme questions.

    You may be able to get this functionality by customizing a plugin like WP Members or even BuddyPress to build out a custom dashboard area for your clients.

    It does go a bit beyond the scope of the support that we could offer you here but you might be able to find a suitable developer for your task on Freelancer.com or a similar site.

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer for you.

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for reaching out with your BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress questions.

    I see you have a premium ticket in for this same issue if the steps below do not help to fix the issue we’ve requested temporary access to login to your site and try to directly address the problem on your behalf. You’d just need to respond to your premium thread to continue that process.

    “The first thing I would try is to run any available updates on your website to see if that fixes the problem you are experiencing. It could be that there is some kind of incompatibility created by the outdates files and running the updates should correct these issues.

    If the updates do not fix the problem, or there are no updates to run, then the error could be generated by a conflict with another plugin on your website. To test for a plugin conflict, temporarily deactivate all non-BoldGrid plugins and then check the page editing tools to see if they load as expected. If the controls start working again, reactivate your other plugins one by one to find out which plugin is responsible for generating the conflict with the Post and Page Builder.”

    I hope we can help you to get this resolved quickly Thomas. We look forward to your response in our premium support forum.

    Hi there Isabel,

    Thank you so much for reaching out with your Crio Pro WordPress theme questions.

    I definitely understand your need to serve google fonts locally in your website. To do so you can use a plugin like OMGF to serve your font’s locally and become compliant with the imposed guidelines.

    Once you have the plugin installed and activated all you need to do is visit the OMGF dashboard and click “Start Optimizing”.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Lauren,

    Thanks so much for reaching out with your Crio Pro WordPress theme and BoldGrid Post and Page Builder questions.

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having a bit of trouble but I think it may just be a padding issue. If you don’t mind could you “edit” the page to bring up the Post and Page Builder then switch to from the “Visual” editor to the “Text” editor and copy all the code you see there and paste it here int the forum?

    We can inspect it and see if we can fix the problem and send you back clean code to replace what you currently have.

    We hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for reaching out with your BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress questions.

    I think what you need to do here is take advantage of the responsive utilities in Post & Page builder to scale your image for mobile devices using those controls.

    boldgrid responsive utilities

    You can set the new image to only display on mobile devices and that should resolve your issue.

    I hope this helps. Please reach back out if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Jan,

    I’m happy you Jesse was able to help get your DNS Propagation concern resolved. As far as Google, that is based on Search Engine Optimization. If you have an SEO plugin configured you should give it a few weeks so that web browsers crawlers have a chance to index your site and you should start seeing results in search engines.

    There are many ways to improve SEO. This guide from Yoast SEO should help you setup the Yoast SEO plugin for maximum results.

    Often times when working with images you want to scale them to fit the dimensions of the element block you’d like to add them to. You can also use the built in editor tools to help fine tune your images.

    You may benefit from this guide on working with images in Post and Page Builder. If there’s a specific image you would like us to take a look at please send send us the URL of the page where the image lives and we could take a look at it directly.

    Hi Kylie,

    Sorry to hear that your login information isn’t updating properly and our team will do everything we can to help!

    If the password reset email is not updating your password as expected then there are a few other techniques that you can use to restore access to your dashboard. This guide in our support center demonstrates 5 ways you can reset your WordPress password information and I hope that it will help you get your login fixed.

    Some of those techniques require direct modifications to your website’s database as well as using SSH and command line tools, and if you are at all uncomfortable making those changes on your own then you might want to contact your WordPress hosting provider for additional assistance since their support team already has all of the access required to make those changes on your behalf.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for reaching out with your detailed screen capture and thank you for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    I think you have everything correct with your custom CSS but you might need to add an !important tag to your element like below:

    /* for the top menu, reduce padding */
    .standard-menu-enabled .sm-clean a,
    .standard-menu-enabled .sm-clean a:hover {
    	padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px !important;

    Have you already downloaded and installed the Total Upkeep Premium plugin from the “Plugins” dashboard in your BoldGrid Central account?

    The Total Upkeep premium is a stand alone plugin that should be activated alongside Total Upkeep in order to enable the premium capabilities.

    in reply to: Google Drive backups are failing in Total Upkeep #56054
    Brandon C
    Keymaster

    Thanks Danielle,

    It looks like your backup load is timing out most likely because the size of the backup (11.28GB) is huge. This issue could be related to the amount of server resources you have available through your web host.

    It could also be Google Drive rejecting the backup because if does not have enough storage room allotted for it. I think Google give you 17GB of cloud space for free so if you’ve exceeded some or their limits you’d need to purchase additional disk space through Google.

    Brandon C
    Keymaster

    Hi Marc,

    I think it’s as I suspected, the dimensions on your image are 2000px wide so if your monitor is 2650px wide its not actually filling the allotted space even when called at 100%.

    You could try replacing your current CSS with .img-responsive { width: 100vw !important; } to see if it forces full width but best solution would probably be resizing the image manually using a free third party software like pixlr.com.

    Hi Jake,

    Thank you for reaching out. If you’re using Total Upkeep then you would have the option to toggle custom files and database tables on or off for backups archives.

    You’d just need to choose the “Custom Backup” option from the drop-down provided when creating a new site backup and you’ll have the option to select specific files and folders, as well as database tables to incorporate into your site transfers.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Danielle!

    Thanks so much for reaching out and thank you for using Total Upkeep backups and migrations plugin for WordPress!

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your auto-backup to Google Drive.

    We have a guide on troubleshooting this issue that you might find useful.

    In summary, can you confirm that (1) in your Total Upkeep settings you do have “Google Drive” checked, and (2) you’re using “Cron” and not “WP Cron”?

    When you can confirm the above, it will help us figure out our next troubleshooting steps.

    I hope this helps to resolve your issue!

    Thanks for reaching out and thank you for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with page speed and overall site performance within your Crio theme. I inspected your website at the URL attached in the forum and also ran it through GTmetrix in order to review the top issues impacting your performance. And it looks like your top issues are the need to setup a CDN (Content Delivery Network) and find a way to eliminate render blocking CSS and JavaScript on your site.

    I don’t see that you have any caching configuration setup on your website. You may want to consider running Crio with W3 Total Cache. W3 Total Cache is our official “BoldGrid Caching” plugin and it’s 100% compatible with Crio. Both are maintained in-house by our BoldGrid product team and we can help you choose the best configurations to properly improve your website speed.

    Something else to note, GTmetrix is recommending you setup a CDN to help reduce the heavy server payload when serving your site pages. Setting up a CDN like Cloudflare should improve your performance metrics as well.

    We have a guide that you can follow that should help you learn more about speeding up your WordPress site.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer for you.

    Hi Clint,

    Thank you for reaching out with your BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress!

    It’s possible that other plugins you’ve installed have created additional post types and you may have to set them to use the Post and Page Builder as well.

    From your WordPress dashboard hover over Post and Page Builder and click “settings“. From this dashboard, make sure that your Pages, Posts, and all Custom Post Types are also set to default to Post and Page Builder.

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Deirdre,

    Post and Page builder solely controls the design aspects of the posts and pages within your theme. You may be able to control permalink settings within your theme from the settings < Permalinks section of your WordPress dashboard.

    This seems to be a function of your “Political Era” theme and not BoldGrid Post and Page Builder. I’d recommended reaching out to the theme developer directly about this matter.

    Hi Deirdre,

    Thanks for reaching out and thank you for using BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress!

    Permalinks are native to all WordPress sites. If you click the “Edit Post/Page” link on any page you see the Permalink directly below the Page Title section. You can click to “edit” to modify the permalink and save to update the page.

    You’d also want to refresh your permalinks after saving your changes. To do so navigate to your WordPress dashboard settings Settings > Permalinks and simply scroll to the bottom and click “Save”.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.

    Hi Maureen,

    Thank you for reaching out, I do apologize for the delayed response as we were out of office for the weekend. I consulted with our premium team and concluded that this issue is most likely a result of you having a already having a premium access key through our partner InMotion Hosting which already has all of these features included.

    When you purchased your new Crio Pro premium key it replaced your original key which holds access to the to all of your other premium features. I see you have a ticket in with premium now and they have the ability to access your account and make changes for you so I’m sure they can clear things up for you.

    We look forward to assisting you further with this.

    Could you use imgbb to send us a screenshot of your current screen size issue. I do apologize I just can’t seem to replicate the issue on my end.

    It could be that the actual size of the image is just not covering the dimensions of your screen size. Have you tried it on a smaller device screen to see if the issue persist their as well.

    I’m thinking if we can verify the issue in your screenshot we can produce some CSS that will stretch the image width to fill any screen size.
