I created this site in 2016 using the Simone theme and have really loved this theme. Everything worked fabulously until suddenly, very recently.

The menu works fine in large sizes, but when the menu is supposed to change to the small device version, only the MENU button displays, but nothing happens when you click on that button. So going to this website on a phone means you have no access to the menu.

I deactivated all the plugins — it still happens.

I switched to SIMONE from my child theme of SIMONE — the problem vanished! So it’s only happening with my child theme. But… it worked fine for years. ?

I am wondering if there is a problem with how the child theme is linking to (enqueing?) the parent Simone theme.

Below I am including my child theme’s function.php file. I would so immensely appreciate if someone could take a look and see if the problem if here:

**
 * the functions file for the simone-child-srp theme.
 */

 /* For child theme authors: To disable the styles and layouts from Simone properly,
 * add the following code to your child theme functions.php file:*/
 
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_parent_theme_styles', 11 );
 function dequeue_parent_theme_styles() {
      wp_dequeue_style( 'simone-parent-style' );
      wp_dequeue_style( 'simone-layout' );
  }
  
  
  /*test if front page, if so, load front-page-style.css*/
  function simonechild_scripts() {
	  	if ( is_front_page() ) {
			wp_enqueue_style( 'front-page-styles', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/front-page-style.css');
		}
  }
  
  add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'simonechild_scripts');
 
 
 /*allow child of Simone to load the multiple stylesheets that come with Simone*/
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('simone-style') );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);

==================================
Thank you for any help!!!

Wordfence is flagging my template-config.php file as containing malware. I can’t spot anything malicious and am wondering if Wordfence is sending up a false flag, although the file itself is mostly concatenated php, which I have a hard time interpreting anyway. How can I test whether or not it contains malicious code?

By the way, the Wordfence malware alert occurs whether I am using the child theme or the parent. the template-config.php files from both themes seem to be identical.

Thx

Yesterday I installed and activated the Simone theme for this site. The built-in search button at the right of the main nav menu worked fine initially (clicking on it revealed a search bar), but at some point it stopped working. Now when I click on it, nothing happens except the URL changes to https://emersonstaffunion.org/#search-container. This happens in all browsers and on mobile. I haven’t made any modifications to the CSS or PHP other than adding some custom CSS to change colors via the Customizer, and removing that did not resolve the issue. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I appreciate this theme has been updated. Great work!

I just see one issue, when in small screen the toggle button doesn’t unfold the dropdown menu.

I checked on latest Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Over two years. Not searchable anymore. Can’t be installed via new theme page.

Please update!

I love Simone. I have used it for two WordPress sites: siliconrun.com and jimkleinfilmmaker.com. It’s elegant, functional and highly amenable to customization (in creating child themes). I very much would like to use it for another website again; however, I am concerned that the last Simone update was 23 months ago and this latest version of Simone has been tested on only up to WordPress 4.0.

I am a also big fan of Morten Rand-Hendriksen, the author of Simone – having watched many of his lynda.com tutorials.

Please Morten, please update your great theme and make sure it works with the latest version of WordPress, which is currently (Oct 26, 2017) 4.8.2. Then I can have total confidence to keep using Simone.

Thank you,
Susan

Using Simone’s search feature, if I look for a word or phrase which is on a page that has a featured image, in the search results that display the featured image is included, but it is decreased vertically and sometimes this cropping will cut off something important, say, the head of a person (I give an example below). Is there a way to just not include featured images in search page results?

Here’s my site in progress: https://jimkleinfilmmaker.com/mar2017wp/
Here’s an example of a search that produces an excerpt with a featured image that’s awkwardly cropped: https://jimkleinfilmmaker.com/mar2017wp/?s=truck

Thanks for any help!

I’m using this wonderful theme but I need to change he width of the main section.
Where can I change this value?

Hi!

I have a Simone theme that Im making a childtheme of as a one-page page following the Lander tutorial in Lynda.com.
When I add the javascript to the responsive menu and everything looks good in the laptop wiev. (code below)
But in a smaller window with the “burger” menu it scrolls to far. Do I need to write a media query in the function-code? Or where to change this?

$(‘html,body’).animate({
scrollTop: (target.offset().top – 80)
}, 1000);

Hi all,

There is a bug when you create a child theme.

Originally call for ‘simone-child-style’ goes after ‘simone-layout’ and it overwrites styles from this file. To fix it, I had to load ‘simone-child-style’ before ‘simone-layout’.

Love the theme.

“Scope-creep” is rearing its ugly head. After assurances that the client didn’t want a “blog” feature, they now want one.

The issue I’m running in to is that since “Testimonials” are set up as posts, when a user gets to the “first” post (of actual content) they see the “testimonial” posts with the “Previous Post” link.

How would one exclude the category that contains the testimonials from appearing in the navigation for the posts.

Thanks

My header photos are very good and crisp. When I load them in using customizing header Image they look blurry on the site. i am using the recommended size.

Thank you.

https://www.charlesmcpherson.com/

In smaller display sizes, I would like the info in the right sidebar to show ABOVE page content versus below page content. Is there a way to do this?

The reason I would like to do this is that I am placing purchasing options into the right sidebar, which I do not want buried under all the content when viewed on phone.

Here is a page from this site-in-progress where I would like to see this work:
https://siliconrun.com/wp-jun2016/our-films/mems/

Thank you for any help with this…

How does one make embedded videos from YouTube or Vimeo responsive in the Simone theme?

I’d like to center the group of links in the top menu. I’ve tried various CSS rules, but haven’t achieved it. Any help would be much appreciated!

Awesome theme – thanks so much for it.

Best,
P@tty

My goal is to build a child of the Simone theme. I think there is a particular issue about child stylesheet loading with the Simone theme.

Am I loading my stylesheet correctly?

Here is what is at the top of my child theme style.css file:

/*
Theme Name: Simone Child for SRP
Theme URI: https://siliconrun.com/wp-jun2016/wp-content/themes/simone-child-srp/
Description: Child theme built for SRP based on Simone by Morten Rand-Hendriksen
Author: Susan Taunton
Author URI: https://wildbluepixel.com
Template: simone
Version: 0.0.1
License:      GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI:  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/

This is in my child theme functions.php file:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_parent_theme_styles', 11 );
 function dequeue_parent_theme_styles() {
      wp_dequeue_style( 'simone-parent-style' );
      wp_dequeue_style( 'simone-layout' );
  }

Here’s the home page of my site-in-progress.
https://siliconrun.com/wp-jun2016/

The dotty background (which I don’t want behind the page or post content), appears when I activate my child of Simone theme. Also page margins disappear when I activate my child of Simone theme.

I also find I am unable to remove the top and bottom space from above and below the title box in the masthead section. Normally, I would expect adding the style below to the child theme stylesheet would do that:

div.site-branding {
padding:0;
}

But it doesn’t.

And that is the only style I have in my child theme stylesheet.

Thank you for any helpful insights!

Hi,

Hope someone can help me out.
I would like to change 2 things in this great theme.
1) change color of the navigation on top (where normally it says ‘Home’ and ‘About’). It is now black and I would like it to be blue (#30add1).

2) I also would like to change the font to Verdana or something similar.

I know where I can make changes in my child theme of Simone, but I have no actually knowledge of the codes… I also have no program that ‘counts’ the lines for me.
However I’m very good at locating where code needs te be changed or added. ??

Can someone provide me with the right code and place to do this?
Thanks!

Is posible to embeed a vimeo video on the header, instead of an image? I’m working on a child theme, based on the One Page Style course on Lynda.com.

I love the one-page child theme of Simone – Lander. The only issue I am struggling with is the blog post resizing. On larger screens the post content moves to the left which would not be a problem if it didn’t overlap with the post author and date information. Here is the page:
https://loveyourworkout.ca/2015/07/24/p-r-o-c-r-a-s-t-i-n-a-t-i-o-n/

It doesn’t occur on the blog page, but after clicking “Read More” and then going to the post page, the content shifts and covers the author and post date information.

Suggestions?

My new client uses the Simone theme. But there is also this notification:

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Name Description
HERWEBSITE The parent theme is missing. Please install the “dkret3” parent theme.
and then it has a Delete or Install Parent Theme.

Is the paid version of the theme Simone connected to the dkret3 parent theme? Or is it separate, so that I safely can delete the dkret3 broken theme?

Thank you for your help

Hello,

I’m quite new to this but I’m working on a site and it is in 4 different languages. I’m using the Polylang plug in and it’s working smoothly but what I cannot change is the site title and tagline. I want to be able to display title and tagline in the four different languages. Any help with this would be appreciated as I’m very new to WordPress.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have just installed simone.
I cannot find social menu.
How can I import that?

Cheers.

hi,

I am trying to replace Title site and tag line replaced with image logo.
Any suggestions how to do this?

Cheers!

Does Simone work on older browsers? What happens in IE8? IE7?

I am wondering how to get the following function that I have to now add to the main functions.php file to work in a child theme. I have tried it in the functions.php of my child theme, but it won’t work there; it DOES work in the main functions.php in the simone folder:

add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
// Featured image sizes for resesponsive display
add_image_size(‘large-thumb’, 1060, 650, true);
add_image_size(‘medium-thumb’, 800, 490);
add_image_size(‘small-thumb’, 400, 245);
// Featured image size for small image in archives
// add_image_size(‘index-thumb’, 780, 250, true);
add_image_size(‘index-thumb’, 780, 9999);

I read this at the codex, https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/add_theme_support#Post_Thumbnails, but don’t quite understand if there is any way to put it anywhere other than the main functions.php file:

This feature must be called before the init hook is fired. That means it needs to be placed directly into functions.php or within a function attached to the ‘after_setup_theme’ hook.

Greetings:

I am building a custom theme using my-simone, which Morten uses for a great tutorial on Lynda.com. My issue occurs on both index.php and archive.php. The site-content styles are being applied only to the first entry that that the loop returns. You can see the behavior here:

https://knightandlion.bitnamiapp.com/wordpress/category/shaw-woodward/

If you use Developer tools to inspect elements, you’ll see that these three divs are closed after the first entry instead of after all the entries returned by the loop.

<div id="content" class="site-content">
	<section id="primary" class="content-area">
            <main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

This occurs in both Chrome and IE. When I switch the theme to twenty-fifteen, the page renders correctly, but I’ve compared the twenty-fifteen archive.php and the my-simone archive.php and don’t see any difference. Below is the my-simone archive.php.

I can work around the styling issue, but would still like to understand the root cause of this behavior. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

I love the Simone theme (thanks Morten!) and I have made the Lander child theme (from Lynda.com). I have tried so many different ways to change the sidebar link color!
I want to change the color of the links under “recent posts” and “categories” (and the other sidebar links when I use more widgets). Right now they show up white on hover, which is a problem because the page is white. My site is: https://www.teckgoldenretrievers.com Any help would be appreciated!

By removing the function simone_the_responsive_thumbnail() from the theme, any child theme using it will break with a fatal error.

May I suggest adding a fallback option to Simone to prevent this error?

For anyone reading this, adding this to your child theme functions.php prevents the fatal error, yet doesn’t display the image.

if ( !function_exists( 'simone_the_responsive_thumbnail' ) ) {
	function simone_the_responsive_thumbnail() {
		echo '<!-- removed from parent theme -->';
	}
}

I would like the featured images for a post to link to their attachment pages, but can’t figure out how. Any help appreciated!
