Can not switch view in widget – gantry 5, Hydrogen Theme

Which versions of everything do you use? Does it work for you under a standard theme?

WordPress: 4.5.2–en_US
Gantry Framework plugin and Hydrogen Theme: Verze 5.2.18

In standard theme it works fine.

Are you using the latest qtx? Are those theme and plugin free? Can you give us links to download them to be able to reproduce? Did you try to change the value under standard theme and then switch the theme? I am not sure how this value is stored in database, maybe it is shared between themes.

Yes there is free:

You must download plugin and theme – WordPress.
It is bit different system then standard theme, so there is why is there problem. I have main systems latest, so chceck it, and let me know. Thank you.

Hi,

Gantry5 dev here. Is this happening in the Widget page in admin ? Gantry5 shouldn’t affect anything that’s in the Widgets admin section. Can you please tell me where exactly this happens ?

Thanks,
Jakub

It looks like that:

I can change everything, only radio buttons doesnt work.
When i use radio button “pouze obraz” (only images), so after save it turns back on default radio button “text”.
But the rest is editable.

Ok, so this is a bug in Gantry 5 that we have added to the list of our issues to fix : https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/1014

We’ll try to fix it before the next update release.

Right now as a workaround instead of using “Widget” particle, please create a new widget position using “Widget Position” particle, and add your qTranslate X widget in the Appearance > Widgets page like you’d normally do.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Jakub

Ok, sure fine. Is possible, write me on email or here to debate when bug will fixed? For this project it is not so important, but other, it is more important and i will want use this plugin, because is work well.

But this Widget-position works well, as well:)

Thank you.

Thanks,

Thank you.

Hi @gantry, out of curiosity, if your stuff is free, why don’t you distribute it via WordPress framework? Do you plan to make it not free soon enough? I was always curious, what would be wrong with distributing a plugin via WordPress, and charging money for it with a license purchase. I do not see people doing it, but do not know why. Do you have some ideas on an easy way to start charging for licenses or something like that?

Hi John,
Gantry is free and will always remain free, it has always been for the many years since Gantry was created.
Gantry5 the plugin is available already in the WordPress Plugin repository, however due to licenses restrictions we cannot put Hydrogen the theme. Both plugin and theme are available from our website though.

Kousekmusic – our latest CI build should have a fix for this issue and it will be present in next update release.

If you want to test it you can download CI build from our website, however please note that CI build is a development build and shouldn’t be used on production sites. Please also make a backup of your site just to be safe.

Thanks, @gantry, I am curious, what kind of “licenses restrictions” specifically?

I need to clear out a small confusion that appeared in here. Our previous reply regarding license was made by another Gantry 5 developer and it’s not quite accurate. License is not a problem as Hydrogen (or upcoming new default theme Helium) is licensed under the GPLv2 license so that’s not the case in here.

The real issue and thing that’s preventing us from placing our free Gantry 5 themes in www.ads-software.com themes directory is that we won’t be able to meet all of the www.ads-software.com directory requirements ie.

• Save options in a single array. – Gantry 5 theme options are saved to YAML files for ease of modification and migration – not in database
• Use the Customizer for implementing theme options. – It’s not possible for us the provide advanced options and Layout Manager controls only via WP Customizer
• Don’t include any plugins. A theme can recommend plugins but not include those plugins in the theme code. – Gantry 5 framework and Timber library plugins are required and themes won’t work without them. So far WP doesn’t provide any dependency support and we don’t want to embed both plugins inside of theme.

So these would be the theme review guidlines that are holding us back unfortunately. Other than that we would love to get our free themes into www.ads-software.com theme directory.

Thanks,
Jakub
