Same question. I saw this page

https://wpskyway.com/pagebuilder/

but it is not clear what to do…are they suggesting this be an option?

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the reply.

I was half-talking about the widget title (brain fart). Thanks!

But how do I change the text within the search box? I know I have to add something to my functions…I want it to say something customized, not just Search. And yes I am talking about the widget, not the search form that goes in the menu.

Thank you,
Jose

1) Yes I can now access the BPS options correctly.

I moved to a new host entirely (Bluehost to A Small Orange).

My issue was that I couldn’t access BPS options whenever I moved to a higher version than my host default. At the time the default was PHP version for Bluehost was 5.2xxx so when I would go to cpanel to have it changed, they’d create a php.ini file in the root along with adding a php handler to my .htaccess. I would then remove that php handler from .htaccess and add it manually to BPS custom code then run the BPS process. I tried with PHP handler 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 and they all resulted in the same error.

Now, with A Small Orange, I don’t need a physical php.ini in my folders because I’m using their default php, which is 5.3.15. I also removed the Comments Evolved for now..Haven’t tried to see if the same problems occur when I want to have those comments installed, though I would imagine I wouldn’t have a problem because that plugin requires PHP 5.3+ and since I already have it installed, I’d imagine it would just run.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Wow guys. I followed the entire convo as the emails came in over the weekend and couple of days.

I never solved this issue. Rather, I stopped looking into it because last week I had to migrate my website to another server anyway and that took my time because I did it manually and wanted to learn. Now it seems to simple.

Anyhow, this issue had me frsutrated but I was managing to live with it without the need to go into options, just as long as things were secure.

My new server runs 5.3 by default, only that I decided to forget about that G+ comments plugin called Comments Evolved because of this issue. I hope to be able to run disqus and keep BPS working for me.

Well actually, I did set it up and I am able to go into the options page without the plugin. I dont know if it’s because of the new server.

Cheers

Jose

marking solved.

Thank you Jesin!

I did it with the following code:

<?php
function my_inline_styles()
{
?>
<style type="text/css">

<?php if(is_front_page()): ?>
#bannercontainer {
  background-color:#6666FE !important;
}
<?php else: ?>
#bannercontainer {
background-image:none !important;
background-color:#6666FE !important;
}
<?php endif; ?>
</style>
<?php
}

add_action("wp_head","my_inline_styles");
?>

Of course, I did it in the Child theme ?? Thanks for your support!

Might be CSS, not sure. But I know I see the URL being defined in functions.php, it probably refers to the background that we select through the theme’s options.

I didn’t see the background URL in CSS, but it would make sense to be there.

I want that background in home page, but when it is not a home page, I don’t want a background within the banner. I simply want a color, like #0000FE.

website is:

I want to customize the site more by adding my own colors, and that’s one way I want to do it.

Thank you,
Jose

Hello Jesin,

Thank you for the help…it is pushing me along the right lines and I’m looking into it.

The code you referenced did what I needed to do, except that it did it in the container that goes above the banner. I change the #headdercontainer to #bannercontainer, and while I think it works, the background attachment that is configured in the theme options takes precedence, I believe.

So I am looking into the theme’s function php at where it defines the background URL, I just don’t know how to make it be my color I want, without the background, on !is_front_page.

Let me know if that made sense. I appreciate your help.

Okay, I tried the next solution, to cut out tab 4 from options.php.

I did so, and this time when going to BPS options, it did load something, unlike before. Before the whole page would just be blank. This time, it quickly loaded the WP top navigation bar, and the WP main navigation side menu. The content of the page stayed white, and it stayed loading.

Before going to the next solution you provided, what did that tell you?

I am going to upload the original options.php for now, until I hear from you.

Thank you,
Jose

I currently have the plugin disabled because it was not fitting well with the aesthetics of the site. I hadn’t touched any CSS code for the majority of the time I had the plugin…so whatever the default was that it came with, that’s what I was working with.

Hi AIT,

I hope you’ve had a good weekend. Okay, came back to it tonight. I’ve had to live with the problem, as long as my site is secured…but it keeps me from messing with categories/permalinks because then it resets BPS, and I have to go in there again, activate it, then add the handler in through FTP, etc. So it is something I need to figure out. Otherwise, I don’t go into BPS ’cause I can’t. But given current configuration, site works well.

So tonight, tried it on Firefox: same result. It hangs, loading forever.

Going to try the system info cut out and report back.

Thank you for everything, Jose.

Thanks man!

It didn’t work out. I decided to hold off on it for now… I actually found a way to center them by going into the content.php of my theme i think it was…but i didn’t like the styling of the pictures.

Do you need to style the pictures with every related plugin, or is there one that comes ready out of the box?

oh and if anyone sees this…after the code i entered above, i had forgotten to add:

</div> <!-- /.entry-summary -->

Otherwise that had broken my footer

Thanks…

Anthony,

You pointed me in the right direction! I had seen that piece of code before, but I could not understand what it did…I’m understanding content.php a lot more now.

I threw in the following between loop’s while and endwhile

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<?php if ( is_sticky() && is_home() && ! is_paged() ) { ?>
			<div class="featured-post">
				<?php esc_html_e( 'Featured post', 'quark' ); ?>
			</div>
		<?php } ?>
		<header class="entry-header">
				<h1 class="entry-title">
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( esc_html__( 'Permalink to %s', 'quark' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
				</h1>
			<?php quark_posted_on(); ?>
		</header> <!-- /.entry-header -->
			<div class="entry-summary">
				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

And got exactly what I wanted! Thanks man!

The only difference is that the comments show in category archives now, but not in search. And if I want to, I can play around with throwing in the thumbnail…

Thank you for your patience and for the help!

Jose
