Hi all,

Was there ever a resolution for this? I could really use some help with this too. Looks different on each browser.

Thanks!

Yes, perfect suggestion! Thank you! Why didn’t I think to check the default? Well that worked so I used that syntax to revise the form and now validation works. But why doesn’t it work when I create the tags using the contact forms interface? In other words, when I click on the buttons in the visual interface to create the tags? Curious…

Yes, all of the fields are set as “required”, that is why I am perplexed. Script appears not to be working as I can repeatedly submit empty forms and I get the standard, “Thanks, your message has been submitted” message.

[text* text-826 placeholder “First Name”]

[text* City placeholder “City”]

Is there something wrong with the syntax?

Thanks for your response!

To enable automatic updates for themes, use the following:
add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_true’ );

I changed “true” to “false” in the wp-config.php file.

Is this correct?

Sorry for the delayed update. . .family and Holiday festivities found their way into my schedule . .

I successfully loaded the prior version, 1.0.4 and was able to manually pull my customizations and transfer them over to my child theme powered by the new parent, 1.0.5.

I temporarily renamed the new theme, uploaded the old, activated the child via the old theme and retrieved my data. In the backend, I renamed the old theme and gave the new theme the Firmness name again. I then opened the child them via the new parent theme, updated the customizations and saved.

Site is now updated.

I attempted to turn off automatic theme updates by editing code in wp-config-php. I am not an expert and do not want to spread misinformation so please google how and/or look in the Codex for help. Perhaps a knowledgeable member can chime in with the code?

Thanks!

Thanks Carlo and Giorgio25b!!

Hope this thread helps someone else.

Yes, I believe you are right. Seems strange not to update the code so as to migrate all of the customizations from the old theme options in the DB.

So now I am using the Customizer but when I make and save the changes, they are only apparent when I am logged in and looking via my Dashboard. When I log out and go to the site live, my changes are not there. I know it is not my cache as I logged into the site from a different computer and none of the changes were there.

The Customizer does not appear to be making the changes. . .have you experienced this? Any thoughts?

I was thinking about uploading the old version to see if I could see my changes and copy them to the child with the new parent but that still doesn’t resolve why the new Customizer is not making the changes to the site. . .

Thanks for thinking about this with me. It is really helpful!

Hmm, that sounds good. . .of course I have a copy of the old theme. . .I will just need to sort through the use of the child theme but the premise is the same, manually copy the old customizations from the old to the new. . .assuming the settings are remembered in the DB. . .

Sounds good! Let’s see if I can pull it off!

I will let you know.

Thanks!

Thanks Carlo!

I understand (generally) but I believe my theme may have been automatically updated so I only see the latest (revised Jun 27, 2015) in my file structure? Unless there is somewhere else I should be looking?

But what I don’t understand is that even though I used a child theme, all of my changes are not evident since the update. Primarily, my homepage has defaulted to latin placeholder text and the default theme color, yellow, is back.

Unfortunately my host backed up on 6/28 and I had not backed up the site up to this latest round of changes. It seems all may be lost but I need to understand so I don’t live to repeat it.

Now I did formatting edits last night in customizer but I can only see the changes in the wp dashboard view. When I check live, it is as if I changed nothing. Back to the default yellow etc., which I changed and saved last night. I can see them on dashboard but not live. ??

Sorry for lengthy update. I thought perhaps more information might help to get to the root of the problem.

Thanks again.

Hi, so if the theme options set in the customizer do carry over between the parent and the child theme, then what happened to my customizations? Strangely, the homepage went to default, re: color changes, and latin text etc. And now, last night I made changes again to the color in order to rebuild, and the changes only show up when I am in the dashboard. When I go to the live site, it is as if nothing has been changed.

How did you test it and verify that the customizer changes carry over between the parent and the child theme? This is strange as this is NOT my result. Again, my homepage is back to default.

Thanks for your responses. Any help is so very much appreciated! ??

Hmm, should I be customizing while the Parent theme is activated rather than the Child theme? Not understanding this theme. . .

Hi Stephencottontail,

The site is: https://www.cnatutorplus.com

Thank you for chiming in. . .I am using Firmness for which there has not been a ton of support. I have an under construction page up so I have to remove that so you can see. On my way home. .will unlock then.

As for now, Firmness was updated on Jun 27 at 8:50 am. I don’t know why my customizations did not hold for my child theme. I can see that all of the things I did via their “forms” do not seem to show up in my stylesheet. I don’t understand why a theme would be designed this way??

My site is destroyed and I have a child theme running so something is amiss. Could be that as well.

Carlo, can you please help me resolve since I am not seeing too much activity from the developers here? I did not quite follow your instructions.

Thanks,
TWS

Hi, did you find them? Look on your WP dashboard under MM settings. It’s under the Modules tab under Subscribe. Look for STATS. You can export the list as csv from there.. .I know, Duh!

Duh.. .resolved
