Latest update screwed up layout

Hello Rob,
While checking your site, there is a bunch of code appearing which seems not come from the theme which looks like this:

body {
    background: #fff;
    color: #444;
    font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;
    margin: 2em auto;
    padding: 1em 2em;
    max-width: 700px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13);
    box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13);
}

Please remove max-width: 700px; if you find where the code is appearing from. If not, you can simply add this CSS inside Customize > Additional CSS:

body {
    max-width: unset;
}

I hope this helps. If not, please feel free to ask again.

Weel, that doesn’t work. I dont’t have a clue why this happened directly after upgrading Zakra to 1.3.0.
I was away for a few days, so nothing could have changed in the meantime.

I will search that value tho.

It appears to be in the footer (coming from Zakra?). I would like to add a screenshot here, but that is not possible.

I’ll let you know, but i tend to rollback a backup of the master theme…

UPDATE: The problem is in the widget area. Looking at the widgets i cannot see the footer widgets, and get an error at the bottom of the screen where the widgets normally are.
I’m hesitating to rollback anything; it clearly must be something simple.

This is the homepage from my dev site, without the theme upgrade: https://vmvklu.vonjot.nl/.

This is the live site, with upgrade: https://www.vmvklu.nl/.

Please note the footers!

DEBUGGING: Found this in the Chiold Theme configurator.
Can you help me out how to solve this ASAP???

This is the sidebar-footer.php (please look at the enhanced code; seems to be a typo there!):

<?php
/**
* The sidebar containing the footer widget area
*
* @link https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/basics/template-files/#template-partials
*
* @package zakra
*/

if ( ! is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-1’ ) && ! is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-2’ ) && ! is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-3’ ) && ! is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-4’ ) ) {
return;
}
?>

<div class=”tg-footer-widget-container <?php zakra_footer_widget_cotainer_class(); ?>”>
<?php for ( $i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++ ) { ?>
<div class=”tg-footer-widget-area footer-sidebar-<?php echo esc_attr( $i ); ?>”>
<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-‘ . $i ) ) : ?>
<?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘footer-sidebar-‘ . $i ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

It seems there is a typo in the function : zakra_footer_widget_cotainer_class in zakra-child/sidebar-footer.php. Please try changing it to zakra_footer_widget_container_class

Oh, but i did that, and the complete site layout disappeared like there was no stylesheet at all. Top menu was displayed as a UL, no more sidebar (also displayed as UL under the page content) etc.
I had to copy the child theme settings from my development site to repair that.

So it doesn’t seem to be a typo, there is more to it. I have disabled the footer in the theme configurator, now the site looks good again. But i’ve lost my footers completely now. Cannot use them anymore, however they are present in the WP-widget config outside the theme settings (WP-Admin/widgets). But still they don’t show up on the site layout.

I just see you released 1.3.1. What are the changes? Will it help me with my issues?

TI, Rob

Hi Ashish,
Could not wait any longer. Restored the whole site back to short before installing the update to 1.3.0. All issues are gone now!
I will not do another update until i’m sure it won’t happen again…

Pleas elet me know how this happened.

Hi, Rob,
The code generated in your site previously shouldn’t come from the theme. So, since it’s hard for me to debug from here as I need detailed information, can you please contact us via zakratheme.com Chat Support so that we can figure it out what is causing the issue.

Thanks.

Thanks Ashish! I just opened a chat…

Hi Ashish,

Did some research. On my dev environment i have 1.2.4 installed; works fine. Disabled all kind of plugins, and upgraded to 1.3.2 (released today). Same result!

So renamed the Zakra theme directory, copied the original folder from a backup, and all is OK again.

Perhaps this helps with the support. I have contacted support, but still no answer or reaction from them.

Please look into this once again…

Thanks, Rob
