Hi,

Since the new version uploaded of this theme, I have the same problem with the HTML function in the featured boxes on the home page… how get back it please ?

Thanks a lot

Same problem. Had to remove all my links.

No word from the developer? I have the same issue too

Quick fix, download this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/css-javascript-toolbox/

Then add this JavaScript:

var $ = jQuery,
    featuredBoxes = $('#featured-boxs p'),
    htmlString;

$.each(featuredBoxes, function() {
    htmlString = $(this).text();
    $(this).html(htmlString);
});

We are sorry for late responding to this issue.

Please consider that the Input Fields in the Simplify Options are Text/Text Areas. It is not recommended to use HTML in a Text/Text Area. According to the WordPress Guidelines, Output Sanitization of user input data is Required to approve a Theme in the Repository.

We have just implemented some missing Data Validation in the latest versions.

Many new features like Slider, extra row of Featured Boxes, Social Links were introduced in the Free Version from the Extended Version of this Theme. During copying the description from the Extended Version we forgot to change the description text for the Second Row Featured Boxes. We have changed the description in 3.02 version. 3.02 Version has also introduces Translation Ready Feature.

Does that mean that we will no longer be able to enter links in the feature boxes?

Hi Andrew, I downloaded that plugin and added a new coding block under header hook and type the one you provided, but it still does not interpret code. It still displays as text

@s3korea48, Link the page with the issue.

That’d be great if I could get that quick fix to work since I really do dig this theme! Andrew, where would I put the Javascript code?

Here’s another plugin you can enter custom JS in https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-css-js-php/

Andrew, where to add the Javascript code. I installed the plugin and now where to add the code?

It works,

here are the steps:

1. Install the plugin as Andrew suggested: custom css JS PHP
2. got plugin it will probably show a new link on the right side link menu/list
3. choose any title
4. use “wp-footer”

past this code:

var $ = jQuery,
    featuredBoxes = $('#featured-boxs p'),
    htmlString;

$.each(featuredBoxes, function() {
    htmlString = $(this).text();
    $(this).html(htmlString);
});

same and it should fix th problem. Mine fixed .. thanks Andrew..

seoefy what you mean choose any title? where i need to choose this title?
Sorry I don’t understand where I need to paste this script (what file):

var $ = jQuery,
    featuredBoxes = $('#featured-boxs p'),
    htmlString;

$.each(featuredBoxes, function() {
    htmlString = $(this).text();
    $(this).html(htmlString);
});

Can you explain more details?

Andrew/seoefy,

Thanks for the information given so far. I have installed the plug-in and created the JS file with the code listed above. I am assuming that there are some variables in the coding listed that need to be modified for our specific installs (i.e. – the actual link to be used) or that some code needs to be added elsewhere (i.e. – the JS code simply serves as an “enabler” for hyperlinking and new code needs to be added to the CSS). I apologize for the newbie questions…I really am trying to teach myself to fish…just need a bit of help in making sure I’m working in the right areas.

James
