Menu responding like text

I can’t get it to work. I’ve found another solution with another menu that I’m please with and is easy to use. Thanks anyway for all your great work.

Hello @wen5820

I can’t look into this untill Monday unfortunately.
Glad to hear you found a solution though.
If you’d still like to get this plugin then let me know.

Have a great weekend!
Cheers, Jory

I would like to get the plugin. I’ll try again Monday. If you can look at it and help to get it to work that would be great.
Thanks.

Hi @wen5820,

Could you please share the following:
– The settings from this plugin (you can export settings)
– The header.php and footer.php from your theme

Please send it to [email protected] so I can take a look!

Cheers, Jory

Hello @wen5820,

Files received and this issue is your setup. Have you read/followed the theme installation guide?
This guide is really important!
https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Theme-setup

You still use website_before and website_after as hooks but these do not exist in your theme.
In fact, it looks like the installation guide wasn’t followed at all.
It looks like Generatepress is compatible with the basic theme setup.

Let me know!

Cheers, Jory

What I think is following the instillation guide exactly 10 times is what you think looks like is not following it at all.
There is a communication issue with the installation guide if this is the result.
I still can not understand what I need to do to get it to work. Referring me to the instillation guide that does not tell me in a way I can understand and follow does not help.

Please get yourself familiar with hooks (actions/filters) in WordPress.
For Generatepress the following should work:

In your frondend settings of this plugin change the following:
– Set the website before hook to: wp_body_open
– Set the website after hook to: wp_footer

Let me know!

I have the sidebar working with a menu widget that is responding to text controls.
I guess that your going to tell me that the menu is outside the container – how do I get it into the correct location?
and Jory, thank you for your help.

Nope, the button is located correctly now! Personally I always prefer to use toggle (default) as the button action instead of just open. In terms of exact location or styling you are free to do as you want.

responding to text controls

What do you mean with this?

The menu responds to Customise > colors > Body. When clicked on the text changes color and the color remains changed. Then, on hover the color is the same as a clicked on link color, like links.
They not respond in the Customiser to menu or anything else.

This is a theme/styling/UI related issue.
This plugin only provides a way to create off canvas sidebars and populate them with content (widgets, menu’s, etc.). Styling is not part of this plugin.
It’s likely that styling the contents in off canvas sidebars cannot be done with the customizer (other than using custom CSS).

well the menu there is being styled by the method described above: Customise > colors > Body – and is behaving like text.

. . . and so is the shortcode.

Correct, some settings could work depending on how the theme defines it’s CSS. But any styling/UI related issues are not within support for this plugin as it does not offer any styling customization.
This is something you’d do with your theme, either with settings if possible or custom CSS.

Okay, thanks Jory.
I will keep you updated on my progress with it.
