Hi,

After the major update of GridBulletin last week I have updated theme again.

Unfortunately several changes that have been added lately may break your child theme and/or custom CSS. But to make this theme better, this is not something that can be avoided.

For users with a child theme:

• Extra container for main content area
• Have updated files header and footer

For users with custom CSS:

• Changed class postmetadata into post-metadata
• Changed class postmetadata-bottom into post-metadata-bottom
• Changed class readmore into read-more

For all users:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• If website doesn’t look as expected after theme update, clear your (browser) cache and reload the page

In a previous version I have added the great flexbox layout method to the header section, but reverted this again. Although flexbox is great, this theme was developed before flexbox became the number one layout method. To be consistent only floats are being used throughout stylesheet. That’s why flexbox is removed again.

Rest assured, no more major updates in the (near) future!

Hi,

Yes, another update after almost 2 years!

In last update of GridBulletin I have included new settings in the Customizer:

• Display or hide site title and tagline
• Display header image at homepage only or throughout your website
• Display featured image on the single post page
• Set length of the post summary
• Display or hide a Read More link in posts
• Change label of the Read More link and Mobile Menu button

For users with a child theme:

• Because of the new settings in the Customizer you may not even need a child theme anymore
• Files header, single and single-full: updated to include new settings from above
• File footer: removed whitespace and such

For users with custom CSS:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• Most changes in the mobile stylesheet (to make website look better in small screen)

For all users:

• Changes are made in the stylesheet (CSS)
• If website doesn’t look as expected after theme update, clear your (browser) cache and reload the page

I have a static homepage with a ‘contacts’ widget in the right sidebar.
But the sidebar shows on all pages.
How do I have it only on the homepage?

Hi,

For users with a GridBulletin child theme or custom CSS. I have added/changed several CSS classes.

File functions:
Changed class widgettitle into widget-title widgettitle.
Old class widgettitle will be removed in the future.

File header:
Added class="site-title" to the logo H1.

File content-list:
Changed class entry-content into entry-content post-content.

Files single and single-full:
Changed classes post-title-single entry-title into entry-title post-title.
Changed class entry-content into entry-content post-content.

Files page and page-full:
Changed class entry-content-page into page-content.

You may have to update your child theme and/or your custom CSS.

Hi,

In last theme update I’ve removed Google font (Open Sans) because of the GDPR. GridBulletin now uses system font Verdana instead.

You can easily add your own font with one of the plugins that are available for this, such as the Fonts Plugin.

Guido

On mobile devices – the main content area “#content’ is only 96% wide, the other areas above and beneath it are 100% wide – and it’s left aligned so looks oddly positioned.

Your css is:

@media screen and (max-width: 767px)
#content, #content-right, #content-full {
width: 96%;
clear: both;
float: left;
padding: 20px 2%;
margin: 0 0 20px;
}

Why isn’t it 100% wide? Can it be changed?

Customising the theme using ‘Additional CSS’ doesn’t seem to effect the width.
i.e. #content { width:100% !important;} doesn’t work.
Why??

I have installed GridBulletin (replacing another theme) on a website I have been using for years. It is really nice. But I have a problem with the sidebar widget. There is an empty block in the sidebar. If I look at the source, it is labeled id=”block-2″
But when I go to widgets, there is nothing there. Just my 1st and second. I though maybe I had some hidden html, but no, nothing I can find.

Hi, on my homepage, I would love to have the “featured image” a hyperlink as well as the post title. Currently, only post title is hyperlinked to the post, would love to have the featured image hyperlink to the post as well. Possible? Thanks!!! – Bernie

Hi,

For users with a GridBulletin child theme:

Sometimes you cannot avoid updating template files. This time I have updated files header and footer.

File header: added code for new feature in Customizer (logo width). And added ID to several mobile menu elements.
File footer: added code for new feature in Customizer (add content to footer).

Those changes might have broken some of your customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a topic in support forum.

Hi,

About the recent GridBulletin theme update:

Main reason for last update is to improve accessibility and better support for screen readers.

Because of this I had to change the CSS of main navigation. Mainly the CSS of submenu and mobile menu.

Those changes might have broken some of your CSS customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a topic in support forum.

For users with a child theme, I have updated file header. Added a skip-to-content link and changed the div with class “mobile-nav-toggle” into a button.

Guido

I’m running latest Wp, with GridBulletin 5.3 (so good I’ve not updated it – sorry ;-).
Just tried the latest version (6.4) and has the same issue (see below).

I have the ‘Comments’ (on Posts) switched to ‘Newest First’
Currently the text (at the top of the thread say:
“Category: Feedback”
“12 comments on Hello world!”

I would like to add (in small text) “newest first” (or something like that)

Is it possible/easy?

Is there a way to revert update? What could I do? I build this page couple of years ago and I forgot many thing about wordpress…

Theme is GridBulletin.

Hi,

About the recent GridBulletin theme updates:

The last couple of months there where several theme updates to improve the quality of this theme. Lately there where many (minor) CSS changes regarding the width and floating of div elements.

When a div element contains floated child elements this div can collapse. In the past I resolved this collapsing by adding width and floating to this div, but using a so called clearfix is best practice. So that’s why I’ve removed the width and floating and added a clearfix instead.

Besides this I’ve restyled the mobile menu.

Those changes might have break some of your CSS customizations, I’m sorry for that. If you want help to fix it again please open a thread in support forum.

I’m not planning new theme updates anytime soon..

Guido

Hi Guido,

Since the last update of your theme my pages wich have a sidebar (All expect the homepage) do show the sidebar beneath the content area. It seams the layout of the columns have changed.
Is there a posibility to change this back to the previous layout (before this update).
Thanks in advance.
Hans

Hi everyone,
After i updated the theme and my wordpress version i got an extra menue.
I tried to delete it via CSS on the desktop version which works just fine, but the deleting the extra menue there will lead to an empty dropdown menue in my mobile page…
I have tried everything i could, installed older theme versions etc. But cant solve the problem.
I would ve very happy about a response.

Hoi Guido,
Geweldig theme heb je gemaakt. Alleen hoop ik dat je wilt delen hoe ik de kleur blauw een andere kleur kan geven.
Dus wat nu blauw is #0066FF zou ik graag bijv. kleur groen willen #3F4E0B (even een voorbeeld).

Plus, de titels van de widgets zou ik ook graag een andere kleur willen, ook groen.
Ik zag de andere topic over de theme kleuren, maar daar staat deze nu net niet tussen.

Ik hoor graag van je!
Groetjes Angela

Hi Guido,

I have a problem with the number of posts on my home page when using a sticky posts.
The number of posts on my website is set to 8, but when I apply a sticky post the number of posts count to 9 on the first page and the sticky post is also displayed on the next page of the homepage, so twice.
I have seen this before, but with the last update of your theme I thought it was solved as well. The 9 posts instead of 8 came out of the blue, it seems as if it is influenced by a not well defined variable.
What could be the cause? URL: https://www.etnos.nl

Dear Guido,
Since the last version of your GridBulletin (version 6.0) the Fontsize for tablet (and maybe other screens) are increased. I like/need the Fontsize of the previous versions of your GridBulletin.
How can I overrule the Fontsize for tablets (and normal screen size) in my child Theme?

Thanks,
Hans van der Brugh

Is it possible to remove the box with the date and: posted on.. posted by..
thanks for your reply!

Hi,

our grid is set up for 12 posts which works fine in the categories (https://tierschutzverein-lueneburg.de/category/hunde/), but not on the front-page (https://tierschutzverein-lueneburg.de/). This is very annoying, because visitors think that we have only a few animals in our shelter when actually more than 60 are waiting for a new home.

Dear Guido et al.,

Can I use a .gif file as a logo? And if so, how can I ensure the .gif file will keep moving (turning in my case).

Thanks!

Dear Guido et al.,

Can I change the font used in the GridBulletin theme?

Thanks!

Dear Guido et al.,

Is it possible to change the colors of the GridBulletin theme?

For example:
– The color of the links (now orange);
– The colors of the grey blocks in the footer (now grey)
– If at all possible: what other colors can I change?

Thanks!

Hi,

This month I will update GridBulletin theme, and add a fully new mobile navigation (navigation in mobile screen).

This means I will replace the (jquery) select menu with a dropdown (jquery) toggle menu.

If you’re using a child theme that contains file “header.php”, you should update this file after updating theme. Otherwise the new dropdown toggle menu won’t work. I have added some extra lines of code regarding the new menu in this file.

Guido

Hi,

What’s the best way of displaying the site title with the strap line underneath it (all in the centre of the header).
AND a site-logo on their left-hand side.

I tried putting code in the header section of the plugin ‘Insert Headers and Footers’, but I can’t get the image positioned in the ‘Header-first’ div.

Thanks

Hi, I am using the GridBulletin for our animal shelter and just love it.

How can I determine only certain categories to be displayed on the front page?

I managed to put the side-bar on the front page. Is it possible to have only 3 colums of posts displayed instead of 4?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

For those who have customized GridBulletin theme:

The last couple of months there where several theme updates to improve the quality of this theme. I have made lots of changes in many files. Please also check previous posts in this theme-forum. Lately there where many (small) CSS changes regarding margin, padding, float, clear, etc. To solve issues such as margin collapsing. Those changes might have break some of your customizations, I’m sorry for that.

Guido
