When I attempt to make a child theme using WP-Forge as parent, the nav menu and background styles (at minimum) do not appear to fully carry over. Is there some other CSS stylesheet or something I need to load manually?

Hi,

I’ve had problems changing the top-bar colours.

from :-

Dashboard -> Appearance -> Customise -> Color Settings -> Top-Bar Colors

All of the available settings work apart from “Top-Bar Link Hover Color”

After a bit of poking about I found the problem. (or at least I think I have)

In the filw wp-forge/ic/customizer.php line 4606 the code :-

=================================================================
if ( esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_font_hover_color’)) ) {
$output .= ” . ‘.top-bar .name a:hover,.top-bar ul li a:hover,.menu .active > a:hover{color:’.esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_font_hover_color’)).’;}’;
}
=================================================================

if I comare that to line 4600 that customises the background colour
=================================================================

if ( esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_hover_color’)) ) {
$output .= ” . ‘.top-bar-right .menu > li.name:hover,.top-bar .menu > li:not(.menu-text) > a:hover,.top-bar .menu > .active:hover{background-color:’.esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_hover_color’)).’;}’;

=================================================================

The css classes are different so I changed the code at line 4606 to match the css classes at line 4600

=================================================================

if ( esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_font_hover_color’)) ) {
$output .= ” . ‘.top-bar-right .menu > li.name:hover, .top-bar .menu > li:not(.menu-text) > a:hover, .top-bar .menu > .active:hover{color:’.esc_attr(get_theme_mod(‘top_bar_font_hover_color’)).’;}’;

=================================================================

Now the setting works. ??

It looks to me like WP-Forge is nolonger developed since there have not been any updates for several years. Obviously there is not a problem for me as long as there is not another update in the future.

Is there a way I can get this mod added to the theme?

A while back I directed the home page to custom ‘home-template’ under page-templates. I don’t remember how I did that and now want to undo the redirect. I am guessing it is in functions.php?

Hello,

Please check this issue https://nimb.ws/EWXJj1

Dropdown menus in wp-forge no longer work

Where is the code in WP Forge that generates the Sidebar content? I need to edit the function inside the code for archives, categories, search etc.

I looked in the functions.php within wp-forge but I cannot find it.

Where is the function dynamic_sidebar( 'main-sidebar' ); located?

Hi everyone

In order to avoid display posts date in search results I commented this line in functions file.

// Print HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
//if ( ! function_exists( 'wpforge_entry_meta_header' ) ) :
//	function wpforge_entry_meta_header() {
//		if ( is_sticky() && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {
//			echo '<span class="genericon genericon-pinned genericon-flip-horizontal"></span> <span class="sticky-post">' . __( 'Sticky', 'wp-forge' ) . '</span>';
//		}
//		// Set up and print post meta information.
//		printf( '<span class="entry-date updated"><span class="genericon genericon-month"></span><a href="%1$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%2$s">%3$s</time></a></span> <span class="byline"><span class="genericon genericon-user"></span><span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%4$s" rel="author">%5$s</a></span></span>',
//			esc_url( get_permalink() ),
//			esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
//			esc_html( get_the_date() ),
//			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
//			get_the_author()
//		);
//	}
//endif;

My goal is hide the text “may 14, 2019” specifically.

Do I right?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi, it’s possible to change the position of Social Menù in top bar, before header?

I am looking to update a website and see that it is using a parent theme WP Forge by THEMEawesome Version: 99 – this version number does not correspond with any in the changelog. Can you point me in the right direction for finding the updated theme files? Thank you!

I’m just starting few new blogs and definitely will try this theme !

Have not check yet, but hopefully menu can be moved to the right.

Howdy,

Is there a preferred method using WP-Forge to remove the featured image link / permalink while on the associated page itself?

Is there also a preferred method using WP-Forge to make featured images their full width or a specified width and height (when you’re on the associated page itself)?

Thanks for your time.

If I chose “Text Left, Nav Right” in Customize / Footer Settings / Footer Content, the menu item won’t show in the same line as the text. In “Text Right, Nav Left” it works as intended. I compared the two parts in the content-footer.php and couldn’t find any differences other than left/right. Any ideas what might cause this issue?

Best regards,
Matthias

Hi there,

I can’t convince my wp-forge child theme to show the “hamburger icon” and title, when the option “Use Mobile Off Canvas” is enabled. When the page loads, for a fraction of a second the menu bar with icon and title is visible but then hidden again. This even happens when I directly activate the original wp-forge theme (Version: 6.4.3.3), so this supposedly is not an issue with my child-theme.

I tested it with different browsers on my Win10 machine: Chrome, Firefox and Edge
+ Chrome on my Android phone. I also tried it together with different (non mobile) “Top Bar Positions”.

It’s a local project, so I can’t provide a link to it for now.

Any hints how to solve this? Do I need any other option turned on or off?

Thank you!

Hi there, I want to use wp-forge for a project but see from the Foundation docs over at Zurb that the various components of Foundation 6 which use flexbox have limited older browser support. The docs seem to suggest that it is only suitable for projects which require only cutting edge browser support. From what I can see flexbox is not limited to the grid but also other componants like menu and topbar which used to have the option for flexbox mode but which I think now deploy flexbox by default?

Can you just confirm what browser support wp-forge has and also whether it comes with any polyfills or autoprefixers included so that it has wider browser support?

Many thanks!

Susan

I was wondering if there’s a way to turn on captions for featured images in posts — I’ve researched a couple of articles on this topic, and while there’s a plugin, it hasn’t been supported in over two years. I’d rather modify the template with php, but not sure where to edit.

I found this article but not sure how to integrate or if it’s the right solution for WP Forge. https://www.sourcexpress.com/how-to-add-caption-to-the-featured-images-in-wordpress/

Any help appreciated!

I don’t get this request often, but I’ve been asked to turn off the hamburger menu and show the regular menu even in mobile — is there an easy way to do this or some PHP modification required — any help appreciated!

This function allows me to change the text of .more-link, but when I have an excerpt, the button disappears in my blog posts. Is there a way to modify this function so I can populate the excerpt and still have the ‘continue reading’ link appear:

// Replaces “[…]” (appended to automatically generated excerpts) with “…” and a Continue reading link.
if ( ! function_exists( ‘wpforge_excerpt_more’ ) && ! is_admin() ) :
function wpforge_excerpt_more( $more ) {
$link = sprintf( ‘%2$s‘,
esc_url( get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) ),
/* translators: %s: Name of current post */
sprintf( __( ‘Continue reading %s <span class=”meta-nav”>»</span>’, ‘wp-forge’ ), ‘<span class=”screen-reader-text”>’ . get_the_title( get_the_ID() ) . ‘</span>’ )
);
return ‘ … ‘ . $link;
}
add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘wpforge_excerpt_more’ );
endif;

By default, WP 4.9.6 now includes a “Comment Consent” checkbox below the Comments form (it reads: “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.”) However, I’ve discovered that this will not display when using themes which “(re)create the Comments Form” (so to speak).

I’ve found that most themes do indeed contain their own comments.php file and the only ones I’ve seen so far that display this consent checkbox are the WP default ones (like Twenty Eighteen).

I dearly love WP-Forge, and I was wondering if you had plans to update the Comments files to include this Consent checkbox so they will be GDPR compliant? If not, could you maybe tell us how to modify the (child) theme to include them?

And thanks for all your great work!

Hi.

I have disable my comments for wordpress.
But at my blog page I see a line, ‘comments disabled – edit’
That line is not nessesary and I want to get rid of it.
I use the template totallpress. Is it possible to delete this line.

Thanks in advance

When my page loads on PC or mobile the menu first expands fully and then collapses causing my load time to be slow. Can anyone see why this is happening? https://www.courses.pianovideolessons.com

I don’t need to have a sidebar on my site.
How can I disable it so that I only have the main content fill the template 100%
I”m not comfortable stripping Php code so I will need very explicit instructions if that is the case.

I just spent the last hour trying to get the title and tagline display figured out. Shame I wanted to use this. I can’t be bothered to waste anymore time.

I even looked at docs and here for solution. Just wanted to hide the title and display tagline under logo. Tried every combo of page template like the docs hinted towards. Ought to make that little less headachey time wastey.

peace

Updated WP-Forge to 6.4.3, and updated the footer.php file in my child theme by giving my divs the .cell class. But my columns aren’t lining up side by side as I wanted them to. Instead, they are stacked on top of each other.

Hi there,

I’ve just updated to the latest version of wp-forge and have noticed an issue with the images not aligning and also not responsive on smaller screens. I can see that img has a max-width of 100% but this doesn’t seem to be working. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Ok, this is a strange one. I’m looking to use the Off Canvas menu, but when I set it up.

– The dropdown arrows next to each parent menu don’t function – they simply call the parent menu item
– There’s text below each parent menu item that says “toggle menu” and expands the menu when clicked

Here’s an image showing the behavior:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/m6ndi92wq4fp21t/menu-toggle.png?dl=0

The site is password protected currently and I can’t send the page link (but happy to do so via PM)

I get this whether turning off all plugins and disabling CSS.
I’m using WP-Starter as a child theme and the newest version of WP-Forge.

However, when I turn off the child theme and use only WP-Forge the menu works as displayed.

Any help appreciated! I love the off-canvas menu and would love to keep it.

Is there a way to control the typography settings including size, font & color inside the WP-Forge customizer for default text, header tags, etc.?

I can only find a way to change the size of the header tags but not the color or font settings of these tags or anything else.

Or does this need to be done in the CSS?

Hi,

I would like to change the default grid structure that shows the main content in 8 columns and the sidebar using 4 columns. I would like to change for the ratio 9+3.

To achieve this, do I need to make the change in all php files that hold the css classes in the page elements? Or is there a way to achieve this by using css in the style.css file for the child theme?

BTW – considering that I’m using the child theme, I should duplicate the php files that require changes and hold the changes under my child theme folder, right?

Thanks

Is there a plugin that you would recommend that creates columns by using shortcodes, in conjunction with WP-Forge (or Foundation)?

I saw Lightweight Grid Columns, which is used for GeneratePress, and I like that it doesn’t leave a mess of shortcodes if you switch themes.

Hello Thomas!
I noticed that all the post archives / category archives are functioning properly but, at the bottom of each individual post, the link for the very first post keep showing Links below:
post archives – https://www.addwit.org/dialog/ – all okay
Category archives – post archives / category archives – all ok
Individual post – https://www.addwit.org/new-india-2022/ / or https://www.addwit.org/people-development-a-strategy-for-nation/ — like this all posts have a link for first post (same all over)
Am I missing any small step?
No hurry, at your ease.

BTW, is there a way to get port title in place of “older post / newer post?

Regards
Arvind
