thanks!

Hi Mike,

This is a strange one, as you archive pages are working properly, but I see the problem on your main blog page. Can you try the following:

1. Go to Setting -> General and check that the website url are both the same and pointing towards the homepage of your site.
2. Disable all plugins, one by one, and check if you still get this issue. If this resolves the issue please let me know which plugin is causing the conflict.

If neither of these work then we’ll need to take a deeper look at the theme on your site. You’ll need to setup an account for us on your WordPress install and also an FTP account. Hopefully though the above solutions should help.

Thanks,

Afzaal

Thanks for the quick responses, Afzaal. Unfortunately, neither of your ideas worked. Would it help to try an earlier version of wordpress? Mike

Hi Mike,

I don’t think switching to an earlier version will help. We’ve just submitted an updated version of Engrave (Lite). This should hopefully go live within a couple of days. Once this is active and you upgrade to v1.4.9 hopefully everything should be working as expected.

Thanks,

Afzaal

Thanks again for the quick response! I’ll give the separate blog page a go once I get the upgrade. I’ve one additional question for you: is it possible to change the template-wide font color to black? The greyish color used for the font is kind of difficult for my (and my client’s) old eyes to see. Thanks, again!

Mike

Hi Mike,

Sure, you can change the font wide color through css. It’s recommended that you setup a child theme when making css changes. Once you have this setup simply add the following code to the style.css file in your child theme.

body, button, input, select, textarea {
color: black;
}

You can also easily add this code directly from the theme options panel under general settings->Custom CSS.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Afzaal

Thanks, again, Afzaal. That’s exactly what I needed. And, as long as you asked, I do have one more question. Is it possible to have a Parent Menu item that is void (unclickable). In other words, I’d like to structure my Menus/Pages like this:

Parent Page 1
Sub-page a
Sub-page b
Sub-page c

But I don’t want to have any content in the Parent Page and I don’t want to go to a blank page when I click on it (I just want it to show the sub-pages).

Apologies for the string of questions but I’m pretty new to all this stuff.

Mike

Hi Mike,

In the latest version of WordPress it’s a little tricker to do this. Pre v3.8 you can do the following:

1. Select Appearance->Menus.
2. Click links and add a new page.
3. When the page is added simply remove the URL for the menu item.
4. Save the menu.

However in the latest version of WordPress we’ve found this doesn’t always work. Instead do the following:

1. Select Appearance->Menus.
2. Click links and add a new page with URL https://empty-link.
3. Save the menu.
4. Add the following custom jQuery to your theme. You can easily add jQuery from the theme options panel under General Settings->Custom jQuery:

jQuery('a[href*="https://empty-link"]').attr( 'onclick', 'return false;' );

This will make any page links to the URL “https://empty-link” unclickable. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Afzaal
