Can't add a search engine - link in slider

Dear All,

First, thanks a lot for the template, it is amazing. And your guides are extremely well done too, even for non-developers.

However, I have a few issues configurating my site (please note that I use local - wamp for now). Also note that I am using a Child Theme (functions.php / style.css).

Here are my issues:

1. Whenever I try to add a search bar (the "default" one from wordpress or a lot from different third parties plugins), I can't use it. "SEARCH" button doesn't appear (I can only use my keyboard "Enter"). And then results dont show, and I am redirected toward the main page. (see picture 1) So i'd like to know how to fix this.

2. How to add widgets / search engine in the menu (top menu)? I can't see it in the widget area.

3. I made a link with the Slideshow Caption and Description (using html a ref). However, everytime the slideshow is loading, just below something is written (see picture 2) for a few secs and then disappear. How to remove it ?

That's about it !

Thank you so much and I wish you a good day !

Hello,

It will be difficult, because your website is on your localhost, is it possible to move it to any (even free) online server? Then I'll be able to help you with the first issue.

Regarding the second issue - there's no widget area in the menu, so you should use some 3rd party plugin, this thread should be helfpul:

In the slide's Caption and Description html tags are disabled, please check this similar thread to find out how you can enable html tags:

If you'll have any additional issue/question, feel free to ask.

Hey !

Thank you for the quick reply, it is really appreciated ! Your support is as good as your themes !

1. For the first issue (search bar) somehow I got it working !

2. I actually changed the position of the search bar and then I dont need it anymore. However, I tried to add a new widget area following this guide: https://www.gavick.com/documentation/wo ... ess-theme/
I got the first part working properly but then I cant find out how to implement it (position it) into the theme. I would like it to be exactly at the same position as the "Inset" sidebar. But on some pages I'd use "Inset" in some others I'd use "New Widget Area" (because I want them to have a different layout - one for main site one for Buddypress so I cannot use "Widget Rules".

3. I looked where you said (widgets.imageshow.php in my Game theme) but can't find the line mentionned in your comment and where to change it

I spent so many time on your site / forums this past few days (and I would like to say that your support / documentation is really awesome).

However I still have some issues I can't manage to fix:

4. How to make my "404" page have the same spacing as other pages.
5. How to put the homepage "higher". Right now there is a huge space between the menu and the first tabs (where the slodeshow is). I would love this space to be smaller !

Thank you and have a good day !

Hi,

Thank you for your kind words

Regarding your issuess:
2. Unfortunately it's not simple in this case, because sidebar/insets are specific widget areas connected with the main website content. The inset area is placed in the Game/layouts/after.php file but a lot of connected conditions are placed in before.php file. I'm sorry but I can't help you with that, because it's really a lot of modifications. Did you try to use sidebar and inset areas to use different layout? Or maybe use widget rules (there's widget rule for the buddypress activity). It will be much easier if I could see your website.

3. I'm sorry - my mistake, this image show structure is different, but you want to add link to your slide title, right? So in this case you should add an URL to Alt Text field in the media library slide.

4. I'm not sure because i can't see your website, but try to add this code into css/override.css file (first enable this override option from template options -> Advanced tab).

Code: Select all

.error404 #gk-mainbody-columns {
   margin-top: 100px;
}


5. It depends on the Image show (slider) height and margin, you can change it in your GK Image Show widget settings (image height and margin bottom options - may be different for tablet/mobile devices).

Ok, I am going to go through all of this now !

Just want to say thank you in the meantime !

And I should have it online this week so I will be able to show you !

Have a good day.

Hey Piotr,

2. I understand that it can be a lot of changes and I'll find a way no worries^^.
However, is there a "full widget rule for buddypress" like there is in the Music State / (M) Social themes ? I tried to target "all buddypress pages" through the widget selection but can't find it. (I added page ==>buddypress but I know in the Music State there is a "Buddypress Category" included there).

3. Is there a way to add a link to the pop-up window "register / log in" ? I tried this link href="wp-login.php?action=login" in Alt but did not seem to work.

4. Wokred perfectly, thanks !

5. Works great too ! Only thing, is it possible to "push" the texts too ? See attached picture !

Overall question for as well: for all changes that I have done to the layout, I applied a % (lets say +20% page width) and I applied exactly the same % for tablets / smartphones. Is it the way to do it to keep consistency between computer/tablett/smartphones or am I wrong ?

Anyway, thanks again ! And i am going to try to put the website online asap (i'm waiting for the domain name thats why^^).

Have a good day !

Sorry, problem with the attachment size

Hi,

Regarding your questions:
2. Unfortunately in Musicstate and Msocial too there's only BuddyPress activity widget rule.
3. Links to the popup login you can add in Game/layouts/pupups.php file.
5. Try to add something like this into your override.css file:

Code: Select all

.gk-is-wrapper-gk-game figcaption > div {
margin-top: 3%;
}


if that won't work, please let me know when the website will be online, then I'll check it again.
