  • in reply to: How do I add a video background to my Crio WordPress theme? #45806

    Hi Mark,

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

    We’re still working on that feature request , our developers have to implement it into Crio in a way that won’t effect other elements or 3rd party plugins. In the meantime, there is a way to add your video if you don’t mind putting in a little extra work.

    We get this question quite a bit so Jessie created a video tutorial for anyone who wants to make a full-screen video background header, if you have about 13 minutes to watch.

    Here’s the codes that were used in the video:
    Shortcode: [vidbg container=".video-bg" webm="https://example.com/video.webm​" poster="https://example.com/poster.png​" overlay="true"]

    CSS: .video-bg, .video-bg-cta { height: 100vh; }

    And a link to the Video Background Plugin and the documentation for the shortcode.

    I hope you find this useful. Let us know if you have any questions.

    Hi Angela,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Venetian WordPress theme with BoldGrid Post and Page Builder!

    No worries, you aren’t doing anything wrong. I’m not sure if the WordPress update may have had something to do with pencil icon not opening the customizer. One thing you could try is navigating from your dashboard to Customize<<Menus<<Social Media and that should bring up the same menu options.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if this works for you.

    Hi Melanie,

    We apologize for this inconvenience, we’ve identified the underlying cause of the problem as a bug that occurred with the rollout of our new Full Screen Editing feature in the last Post and Page Builder update.

    This issue occurs when several buttons are added to the MCE controls. We’re tracking the bug in this GitHub issue.

    There are a couple of ways you can troubleshoot right now. You can use a plugin like WP Rollback to revert Post and Page Builder back to the previous version, or temporarily disable some plugins that are adding buttons into MCE. Common ones are Jetpack’s “Contact Form” module, which adds a form button, and shortcode plugins.

    We’ll be releasing an update to fix this as soon as possible.

    in reply to: Does Total Upkeep Rely on PHP Max Execution time? #45708
    Brandon C

    Hi Donna,

    Thanks for your question about Total Upkeep backup plugin for WordPress.

    Max PHP execution time is a built in variable that’s required for any PHP application to function properly. If you’re backing up a larger site you will likely have the same issues with Total Upkeep because an error with Max Execution Time usually means that it is taking longer for a process to complete than your current PHP settings are allowing, and it is timing out because of it.

    If your hosting company has limitations on these settings I’m afraid it may not run Total Upkeep efficiently. We do have partner companies like InMotion Hosting and they have hosting plans from as low as $2.99 per month that could accommodate your task.

    I hope you find this helpful! Please reach back out to us if you have any questions.

    Thanks Chris,

    Okay I see what’s going on, The issue is the widget that pulls in your post content inherits it’s background from your global color palette options in Customize<<Color Palette. You can try going into those options and finding the color that corresponds with your columns background and changing it to the color you would like to display. Just be mindful that manipulating your color palettes could change the colors of other elements on your site as well.

    If you want each column to display a different color with this type of block it would be a little more difficult. It would actually require you to add some CSS class selectors to your columns using the Text editor tab and then manipulating the background colors manually using the CSS/JS Customizer.

    I was able to recreate a 3 column layout that you may be able to use as a base to create the design you need. Just copy the code here and use the Text editor tab to paste it wherever you would like it to display on your webpage. After you paste it into the page switch back to the Visual editor to edit the block visually.

    I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to reach back out to us if you have any further questions.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    I inspected your blog page and it looks like the first post actually does display the “read more” tag. See screenshot here.

    It’s possible the Read More tag might not have been inserted properly on the second post.

    To double-check, switch over to the Text editor tab, and look for the tag (possibly at the very end of your post) that looks like this:

    <!--more-->
    

    You can cut the tag out and paste it where it was meant to be placed.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Cecilia,

    Thanks for your question about Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    You may have multiple menus/menu items added either in the Appearance<<Menus section or the Crio<<Page Headers section. Check both of those sections and make sure there is no duplicate content.

    Sometimes when you switch themes, install new plugins, or xml data it will add new elements like menus that come as packaged demo data. Often times these added elements will appear as just a bunch of duplicate content. You can delete any menu that you do not have set to a specific location without effecting your site.

    As for footer widgets being inactive on certain pages, each page template that pulls data into your WordPress theme is configured differently and they each have there own widget areas set to display. To enable more widget areas on these templates you would need some knowledge of PHP and the WordPress Template Hierarchy. Here’s a guide from QodeInteractive.com that might help you accomplish that.

    I hope this helps. Please reach back out if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Hi, if you need the footer to appear on all page templates, including your post archive pages you should create it in the universal footer area Customize<<Design<<Layout. You can customize your footer design using menus and widget areas.

    One thing you could do to easily incorporate the footer you already built into the global footer area is to go to a page where the current footer is present and switch to the “Text” editor tab at the top of the page builder. Once you’re in the text editor find the bit of HTML that makes up the footer and copy it into your clipboard.

    Go back into your global footer layout area Customize<<Design<<Layout, create an HTML Widget and paste your footer contents into the widget (be sure to set it to full screen). If you copied the code correctly the footer should now display across all pages on your site.

    I hope you find this useful. Let us know if you have any questions about this solution.

    Hi Cecilia,

    I apologize, these threads do not link to one another so if you did provide us with a screenshot of the issue in a previous thread I’m just not able to find it at the moment.

    I’m thinking you may have multiple menus/menu items added either in the Appearance<<Menus section or the Crio<<Page Headers section. Check both of those sections and make sure there is no duplicate content.

    Sometimes when you switch themes, install new plugins, or xml data it will add new elements like menus that come as packaged demo data. Often times these added elements will appear as just a bunch of duplicate content so I’m thinking that’s the first place you want to look.

    Hi Paul,

    I’m happy to hear that bit of CSS worked for you! Don’t hesitate to reach back out to us if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Brandon C

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for allowing us access to your site. I was able to inspect the CSS and I think this bit should work to change your the color of your menu items to grey on hover:

    .site-header a:hover {
    	color: #a9a9a9 !important;
    }

    As far as the Main Menu option disappearing, do you mean it disappears when you enable “Custom Page Headers” to your Customizer? You might want to navigate to Customize<<Menus<<Main and make sure the menu is still enabled there in the location you want it to display.

    Paul I apologize that functionality only effects the Menu links hover style. I actually don’t see a control for menu item hover there so we’ll use some custom CSS to change it. For example if you wanted to change the menu link hover color to red you could use:

    #main-wrap a:hover {
    	color: red;
             }

    Add that bit of CSS in the Customizer using the CSS/JS Editor tab. I hope this works for you!

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    If you just want to change the hover color of your menu items you can navigate from your dashboard to Customize<<Design<<Menus<<Main Menu<<Menu Items<<Hover Style and select the “Primary Color” from the color palette.

    I hope this helps. I tried viewing your site through the URL you sent us to give you a more direct suggestion but I see you require certain permissions for access. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Oh yes I see, it seems you have some sort of inner element controlling the color there. Could you switch to the text editor tab and copy the entire contents of your page and paste it into this thread.

    We’ll examine the block for you and direct you to the correct control so that you can proceed in changing the color.

    We look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Hayley,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Total Upkeep WordPress Backup Plugin.

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with backups. Are you trying to create a backup or are you restoring one? Total Upkeep makes a log every time you create a backup, so if you the backup is failing that’s going to be the where we want to check first.

    Navigate to Total Upkeep<<Tools<<Logs and find your most recent log, it’ll have a name like archive-xxxxxxx.log. If you can copy/paste your log results in your reply we’ll be able to give you some more information on what might be wrong.

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Hi Bridget,

    Thank you for reaching out and thanks for using the Swifty WordPress Theme with BoldGrid Post and Page Builder.

    You’re correct in your assumption that LinkTree is not a supported icon at the moment but there is a way to add custom social media icons your theme.

    It does involve you getting your hands a bit dirty with code. You’d need to download Code Snippets and follow the directions in the guide above to add your icon.

    I hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you get stuck.

    Hi Chris,

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

    Just taking a look at your screenshot I see that the sample post are being pulled in with a Post and Page Builder block and we can edit each post as it’s own column. Notice the blue tab above your first column? If you click the toggle icon and select “Change Background” it will give you the option to change the background for that individual column.

    You can repeat the process by hovering over each column to bring up the blue column tab and changing the background color there.

    Hi Cheryl,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    Sorry to hear you’re having this issue. From what you’re describing it seems like the editor styles have somehow been deactivated. Have you activated any plugins recently that interact with the page builder directly? Like maybe something that adds new block features? If so, deactivate any plugins like that, then go back into page builder to see if the styles have been reapplied.

    It could also have something to do with the recent update to Post and Page Builder. We introduced a new Full Screen editing feature and it’s possible that something in that update could be clashing with the page builder as well. To address this install and activate the WP Rollback plugin and set Post and Page Builder to its previous version.

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if the WP RollBack option works for you, then we can report the bug to our developers to have it addressed as quickly as possible.

    Hi Matthew,

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

    Can you tell us where you’re getting the popups? Are they appearing on your live site or in your WordPress Dashboard? It’s possible the functionality is coming from a widget you have installed on your website.

    Could you send us a screenshot using https://imgbb.com/ so we can view the popup ourselves. That way it’ll be easier to offer our best suggestions on how to resolve this.

    in reply to: How do I Connect My database to WordPress? #45395
    Brandon C
    Keymaster

    Thanks Phil, so BoldGrid is only a plugin that extends the page builder functionality of your WordPress application. BoldGrid itself doesn’t really communicate with MySQL but your WordPress application can. If you’ve already established a connection and need to add tables to your database you would most likely use cPanel to access the database.

    If you need to add columns and rows for a grid based design using BoldGrid you can just add a new page and use the Visual builder to build your layout. This support guide can help you get familiar with creating columns and rows in BoldGrid. Again this is not the same thing as adding database tables.

    Hi Tyler,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    So just taking a look at your screenshot it looks like you have placeholder text selected but not actual Field Labels. I took a look at the Gravity Forms documentation on adding field labels and it says that you can set “Field Label Visibility to determine if you want the field label to be shown on the form. If shown, the placement of the label is inherited from whatever you have specified within the Form Settings“.

    Gravity Forms is a premium plugin so I can’t really duplicate the issue on my end but that seems to be what’s going on. You need to add the actual field label and remove the placeholder text.

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

    in reply to: BoldGrid Post and Page Builder is not Functioning Correctly #45389
    Brandon C

    Yes Stuart, I think you are right. Page and Post builder has a suite of BoldGrid themes like Crio Pro WordPress theme that it’s developed more specifically for. On the rare occasion that we introduce a feature this big there’s always a chance it might clash with 3rd Party themes like your Minimize Pro theme.

    Now that we have a better grasp on the issue I’d expect it to be addressed in a December or January patch release. We do apologize for any inconvenience is causing you.

    Brandon C

    Hi Phil,

    I’m sorry I didn’t realize you were using the wp-dbmanager plugin to access your database. I’m not sure how that plugin is structured. Normally, To connect to a database in the way you’re speaking of, you’d connect using some sort of server side tool such as the cPanel or Shell access, both of which would be something to speak with your web hosting provider about.

    If the wp DB Manager plugin developer offers support that would be a good place to inquire about it’s functionalities. The developer link on the WordPress repository page takes you to a page with this support link. They might be able to offer you more plugin specific help.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Phil,

    Thanks for your question and thank you for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    When you say you want to “connect your sql database” do you mean you have a backup of a database that you would like to restore on your website? If that’s the case you can use our Total Upkeep backups and migrations plugin to import an existing database.

    Just install the Total Upkeep plugin and follow this guide to restore a database backup.

    As far as creating social icons you can follow this support guide to learn how to create and implement social media menus into your theme.

    Hi William,

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

    Sorry to hear you’re having trouble working with columns and rows in your page editor. Our blocks are built using Bootstraps 12 column layout. By default the position of the button elements will change based on the screen size of the device that you’re viewing it on.

    If I understand correctly you want to create a 3 column section with at least one row of buttons side by side in their respective columns similar to the example shown below:

    3 column block example

    If you need something similar to this you can use it as a base to create your on block. Just switch to the “Text” editor tab from inside of your page builder and copy/paste this code wherever you need it to display on the page then switch back to the “Visual” editor tab to edit the element visually.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for reaching out and thank you for using BoldGrid Post and Page Builder for WordPress. I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with the page editor.

    Is the problem limited to one page that you’re attempting to edit or is the issue present on all pages and post? Has it effected your live site in anyway? I’m browsing the site now and all elements seem to be intact so that’s a good sign.

    One possibility is that the in the recent update of Post and Page Builder we rolled out a new full screen editing feature. It’s possible that this new feature might have caused the issue with the editor as well. To address it, download the WP Rollback plugin and switch Post and Page Builder back to the previous version before your last update.

    I hope you find these suggestions helpful!

    If you send us a screenshot of your page editor through ImgBB it would give us a better understanding of the issue your dealing with. Then we’d be better equip to offer our suggestions.

    Thanks for the screenshot Stuart. That is really weird, whatever is causing your editor to display that way is effecting the editor as well as the TinyMCE Icon.

    I have a couple of suggestions (and I’m really only guessing here), I see that you’re using the Minimize Pro theme and they have their own page builder. It’s possible that their page builder is conflicting the the BoldGrid Post & Page builder. If that’s the case find any plugins that are likely associated with Minimize Pro’s out of the box builder. If you could send us a list of your active plugins we could give you our thoughts on which one’s you should try deactivating.

    Another possibility is that the in the recent update of Post and Page Builder we rolled out a new full screen editing feature. It’s possible that this new feature might have caused the issue with the editor as well.

    Hi Bogdan,

    Thanks for reaching out and thanks for using Crio Pro WordPress theme!

    I inspected your page and while it’s possible that running Crio with Elementor could cause the plugins to clash, it looks like it’s just duplicate Elementor content on the page in question. If you’re running a site wide footer element with Elementor check page itself to see if it maybe has that duplicate content present. If it is present on the page delete it and publish and that should remove it and only display the site wide footer.

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

I’m browsing the site now and all elements seem to be intact so that’s a good sign. It cold be tied to caching or permalinks needing to be reset although that’s not particularly likely if you’re not having issues on the front end of the site as well.
