Have you tried 2017 theme? Is there a reason for using an older outdated theme.

Also check out the requirements section Elementor, you php.ini file might needs some tweaks as well ??

Cheers!!!

Are you using a cache plugin as well. If so, try Ben’s suggestion again, but before you do, do two things. 1) clear any caching plugins, and maybe even disable for testing purposes.

2) Clear your browsers cache and then also do a hard browser refresh. ctrl+f5 for Windows, cmd+shift+R for Mac. Also remember, not all themes are currently supported by Elementor.

You answer to question 1. Click on the edit section icon and under layout, switch height to Min Height, and then either set it to px (which is the default) or VH and set your value. If you are new to design, I suggest sticking with px, and in your free time, study up on using VH, two totally different outcomes.

When you change text colors on breakpoints (or pretty much anything for that matter), again, click on the edit section icon, and in the bottom of the Elementor toolbar there is an icon that looks like a monitor. Click on that, choose either the tablet or phone, go under styles and change your text (font size, color, etc.) and it will make the changes for that particular device (breakpoint) with affecting the others.

As far as the loop the YouTube, video, please see the following link, scroll down to the loop section and add the loop portion on the end of your link tag in Elementor.

Hope this helps!!! :o)

Tried going to the link provided and it says 404, page not found. If this issue is not resolved, here are a few suggestions.

1) Clear your browser cache, all of it!!
2) Does your site use and caching plugins, and if so, have those caches been cleared.
3) If you are using a caching plugin, NEVER design / develop with it active. Make your changes, then re-activate.
4) After caches have been cleared, do a hard browser refresh (ctrl+f5 on windows, cmd+shift+R on Mac).

Hope this helps…

Do you have a link you can post to help troubleshoot? If Ben’s suggestions don’t work (and they almost always do ?? Please share a link as it sounds like some sort of padding issue.

Depending on what you are referring to as changes, yes, you can make changes to your text, insert images, etc. and the updates will show in Elementor. You may have to still tweak certain things in Elementor to get them the way you what, but the Elementor plugin does pick up the changes. Not sure why you would want to do it that way though and guess never experienced myself having to do it this way. Also, if you have that much content on a page that you are finding it easier to use WordPress to make the changes than elementor, you might want to break your content into smaller chunks. Think of it this way, the Elementor plugin is like a blank canvas with tools, and your theme provides the content. Then Elementor takes that content, uses its tools to paint the picture (for lack of a better term) on to your canvas (page)

The switch loader setting has nothing to do with what you are wanting to do, but rather loads a different configuration of sorts to over coming multiple server configurations that could cause Elementor not to function properly. I would spend some more free time working through your workflow processes and you may find a better way to do it than what you are doing now.

Cheers!!!

I just found this from another site and it works for my featured images. You may want to see if this will work in your plugin as well. Mine was theme related to the functions.php file so I copied and pasted the following code after the last line.

add_filter(‘wp_get_attachment_image_attributes’, ‘my_img_title’, 10, 2);
function my_img_title($attr, $attachment = null){
$attr[‘title’] = get_post($attachment->ID)->post_title;
return $attr;
}

Hopefully this will help resolve the issue for many, and certainly there has to be a better way of handling the image titles other than just turning it off. I needed it BADLY as my pages have books on them and could not tell what the book title was without the captions.

Thanks for all your hard work to getting this working again :o)

I think I may have figured it out after digging through the documentation more deeply. Would one use the shortcode like this

3 being the id listed under preachers

Thanks,

Also, I can leave the first page within the wp theme directory and make the call to my second page (outside of the wp directory, but still within the root of my www directory) and the page works fine.

Thanks…

Problem solved once the proper odbc connector was installed and configured appropriately. Thanks for everyone’s help. This is going to open A LOT of possibilities for our new site. Both myself and the boss are excited!!!

Thanks again…

I guess maybe here is a better way to ask the question when it comes to WP and custom php code. When using custom pages (as mentioned in the example above) are here any php limitations due to WP constrictions and custom code.

Thanks again…

Hmmm… I wonder what I am doing wrong then when inserting the code directly into my page then. Do you have any suggestions for turning on any sort of error trapping? The code that I am trying to run through a custom WP page is currently working as a stand alone single php page on our current server so I know the code I am copying is working and good.

TIA…

@ Rev. Voodoo

Thank you for your reply. I have been trying to work that one at as well, but the thing I am confused on is does the custom php code go in the custom.php page (or whatever I choose to name the page) or do I copy and paste the code I want to run in the WYSIWYG editor under the html tab (say for example my database connection code I posted in my original post).

Right now all I am getting is my table (with no populated data from our other database) and no data, so I am obviously still doing something wrong or code is being stripped somewhere.

Thanks again for your reply!!

At artslob – I would like to know how you got your nav bar to the top of your header. I had tried to do it and made a mess of it. Did you mod header.php if so, what was your code. Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer.

has this been resolved? If not, do you have a URL example?

Thanks…
