Galleria totally buggered because of Storefront 2.0 update

  • Hi guys,

    I’ve been using SiteOrigin’s Custom CSS editor to customise Galleria with Storefront running in the background. After the update most of my custom CSS is lost, and some very weird things are happening, one of them being that the WooCommerce breadcrumbs suddenly do not display at all but they take up an area of my screen of about 400px in height, which shows as a blank just before the primary content area.

    I’ve tried to save my customiser settings, to no avail. I spent some time trying to fix the CSS but I figured there must be a better way to go about all of this? I’ve heard you’re releasing a fix? Will it tackle how CSS is being read and enqueued by child themes like Galleria? For people like me who rely heavily on a custom CSS plugin I hope there’s an easy option. I’ve invested a fair bit in this Galleria in terms of time and extensions, and I moved from another WooTheme that was destined to the bin last year (Maximize) so I’m broken hearted just thinking of all the potential aggravation ahead…

    Thank you and I hope you come up with a simple solution for the many hobbyist developers and one-man-bands out there who rely on site builders and custom CSS plugins to personalise their sites…

    Migs.

  • Hi,

    Are you using the latest version of Galleria? We changed some CSS in Storefront 2.0 but were careful not to change so much that it would ‘totally bugger’ anyones store. The appearance should be 99% identical. See our demo which is now running 2.0 as a reference. We certainly didn’t change how the styles are loaded.

    Could you share a before/after screenshot, as well as a link to your site? I might be able to point out what has happened.

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your response. Yes. I am using the latest versions of Storefront, Galleria and the extensions. I’ve just posted a ticket via WooThemes, please see below… There are log in details in the actual ticket or can send you those privately. Thank you!

    I’ve updated my site https://miguelmateas.com/ to the latest versions of both Storefront and Galleria, plus I’ve also updated the extensions to their latest versions. I actually tried updating Storefront only yesterday, before the Galleria release was out, and it was sending my custom CSS all over the place, so I had to restore to a safe copy running on Storefront 1.6.1. and Galleria 1.1.1.. So today I’ve done this:

    1. Updated all Storefront extensions.
    2. Updated Storefront to 2.0.0
    3. Updated Galleria to 2.1.5, then to 2.1.6. Please note that my even after getting a confirmation message that Galleria has been unzipped and installed, etc. to 2.1.6, the install reverts to 2.1.5. I’ve cleared all my caches (local, CDN, and at my hosting end) with no luck, so I downloaded 2.1.6. from WooThemes and uploaded via FTP. Even after that WordPress said that I needed to update from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6, so I changed this manually in Galleria’s style.css
    4. The customiser does not work. So if I visit https://miguelmateas.com/, I only get a blank white page, and when I click on “Customise” nothing happens. But from the theme details page I’ve clicked on “widgets” and made a couple of changes to visibility.
    5. As a result of 4. above I now get a half second glimpse of my homepage, which then proceeds to disappear, leaving me with a white page.

    I would love to have my site back as soon as possible please so I can continue working on it. I’m looking forward to all the advantages of the development on the infrastructure of Storefront and Galleria, but will need a site I can actually see in order to experience these.

    Additional request:
    Also, yesterday when I upgraded Storefront only to discover it was sending my custom CSS kind of crazy, I realised that the “Posted by: Miguel” line is now under the blog post together with the rest of the entry-meta. I couldn’t get the 3 pieces of meta in the article aside centred for as much as I tried. Could you possibly point me in the right CSS direction for this to happen please? I basically would like the “Posted by”, “Categories”, and “Tags” all centred below each other. I had done this via CSS before for Categories and Tags but this new version of storefront was showing a different meta display for each of the 4 blog posts on my homepage, which was disconcerting.

    Thank you so much in advance of your help!

    Best wishes,

    Hi again,

    I’ve just updated my ticket at WooThemes but thought to share this with you too… It seems that there’s a conflict of some kind or another with Galleria and the latest Storefront Blog Customiser, as per my tests below…

    —

    Hi again,

    Since I posted the original ticket, I’ve been doing a few tests, as follows:

    1. I’ve deactivated all plugins, and then reactivated them all 1 by 1.
    2. I’ve removed a line of code from functions.php in your “Theme Customisations Plugin” that has now removed the white screen (phew!) so I can see my site again. There are a few CSS changes as a result of the update, but I’ll deal with those. It’s all good.

    However, the update has brought up another issue. The customiser doesn’t load, i.e. if I click on “customise” in my admin toolbar I get that white screen again. Actions I’ve taken:

    1. I’ve repeated 1 above (deactivate / activate all plugins) and I’ve pinned the issue down to the “Storefront Blog Customiser”, alas, if I deactivate it, the customiser works, but the moment I activate it I can’t use the customiser and just get a white screen.
    NB. I have the latest versions of the Storefront Blog Customiser extension (1.2.0, updated earlier today).
    2. I’ve “downdated” to Storefront Blog Customiser 1.1.3 and the issue has disappeared, but obviously I don’t want to be using an older version of the plugin, so I look forward to your help with this.

    Also I’d still be really grateful for any pointers as to how to fix the centering of the meta elements so that they appear centred on top of each other, in this order:

    1. Written by
    2. Posted in
    3. Tagged.

    At the moment the 4 posts that are displayed on my homepage have got completely different meta displays:

    1. https://tinypic.com/r/2i1hy4g/9
    2. https://tinypic.com/r/m7cf7l/9
    3. https://tinypic.com/r/16j1q8x/9
    4. https://tinypic.com/r/25833vs/9

    Thank you so much again!

    Best wishes,

    Hey,

    I just looked in to your ticket. It seems that most of your issues have been resolved except a bug with the blog customiser extension. I’ll fix that just now, an update will be available very soon ??

    Hi James,

    It’s me again! ??

    Thank you for offering to help. I can deal with the bit of CSS that have gone a bit awry. In the meantime, there’s an element I can’t get to work at all, as per the attached pic:

    https://tinypic.com/r/2edvd5j/9

    My navigation is sticky and it goes black like that when the stickiness is active, white otherwise… any ideas of how to make the whole width of the mast header white?

    Thank you again!

    Best,

    Migs

    Hey,

    This CSS should fix that;

    .sticky-wrapper, .sd-sticky-navigation, .sd-sticky-navigation:before, .sd-sticky-navigation:after {
background-color: white;
}

    Cheers
