Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Help with header / logo / descriptionSince WooThemes Mystile is a commercial theme, this one may be best handled in the Woothemes support forums.
That said, my understanding is that most themes from WooThemes take an “either/or” approach where it comes to the logo. If you use an image, their themes will, by default, turn off the text for “Site Name” and “Site Description.”
To change this behavior for your site, you have a couple of options. Probably the one that will cause the fewest problems would be to create a child theme for Mystile and use a custom header.php file.
In your custom header.php file, you can add a line in the appropriate location which will display the WordPress site description or “tagline” set in the Settings > General tab.
For example a line like this:
<p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?> </p>
would accomplish the job.
Since WooThemes are a “framework,” you can also consider taking advantage of the “hooks” they make available to you. This may be a bit of a shortcut to getting your immediate problem solved. However, if you plan to do much more customization than this, you may find that a child theme is a better idea in the long run.

This guide shows some screenshots, including where to select MD5 from the dropdown:

In reply to: Cannot Scale Images Larger Since 3.5Have you found a resolution to this? It’s affecting a couple of sites for me as well. (Haven’t tried more than those yet.)
Either way is fine. I’ve used this plugin for years and never had a problem with it until that day. Just a momentary lapse of brain function on my part.
Thanks!
Doh!
Somehow I had managed to end up with TFS Core deactivated and TFS Pirate activated. Apologies for maligning yer excellent plugin!
Now excuse me while I walk the plank!
Re-reading your question, I just want to clarify one point: with WooSlider, the slides are in fact a “Custom Post Type” (called “Slideshows”). While any slide can be linked to a given WordPress “Post,” there is no relationship between the slides and your WordPress posts.
That being said, WooSlider permits the insertion of a slideshow that is populated by your WordPress “posts” rather than the custom post type that it creates. When adding a slideshow such as this, you are given an opportunity to select from the “categories” of your WordPress posts in order to determine which posts will be shown. I actually haven’t been using the plugin in this way, but your question made me go take a second look and it does, in fact, operate this way.
Hope this helps!
Hi smitchio,
From what you’ve said, I believe you’ll find WooSlider will do this. It allows adding a slider to any page or post via shortcode. The plugin creates a custom post type that has its own “Slide Groups” taxonomy. This would allow for categorization of your slides.
I hope this helps!
No news. I gave up and switched to WooSlider from WooThemes.
They acquired the jQuery “FlexSlider” code and then built the WooSlider on top of it. It’s a premium plugin, but they have fantastic support and I find it’s worth it.
Yes @immortalguru, I upgraded to 3.4 as well. Not that I expected upgrading to help, but for the record it appears to have made no difference.
Thanks so much for sharing this, ibc3!
Turns out I had completely failed to notice that setting. It still contained a value from the old server. Now that I’ve changed it, the problem is resolved. Thanks! (And thank you to shareaholic support as well!)
I’m having the exact same issue after a very similar process (backup, upgrade, move to new server).
Can you post the solution?

In reply to: [P2] Video Not Working = https://p2theme.com/Hi Lance… thanks for looking into it. I’m actually still unable to play it. Just “hard refreshed” the page at p2theme.com with no success… since you’re working on it, I thought you’d want to know. Thanks!

In reply to: [P2] Video Not Working = https://p2theme.com/This is true for Windows browsers as well. Perhaps the underlying source clip is gone?
This was (and would be) an incredibly useful plugin if it were functioning correctly. Anyone still developing it?
