Great!

I’ll update and check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Do you have a Github for it?

Hello,

Yes currently using Enable Media Replace 3.4.2. I have disabled the plugin in the time being.

After further investigation, it seems the core of the issue is a namespace conflict with my theme. My theme uses a .right class for floating divs right. Atomic Blocks uses .right to align text right.

Any easy way to fix this?

I found the culprit. I had a line in my child theme in one of the footer templates that was calling the head a second time. removed and now only 1 copy :D. I guess the site analytics are going to be off :/

Thanks for the tip!!

Weird, the translations seem to now be working. They’re a bit slower than via other browsers, but working. I no longer see the console error. Maybe it was a network error specific to my work network/gateway. It did give me the same issue again, but after a refresh/restart of IE it seemed to work again.

I believe the other errors are due to some of the IE fallbacks the theme is using.

I found the rule needed to change this.

For others that may need to do the same here is the CSS needed to customize the widget color:

#glt-translate-trigger {
  background: linear-gradient(#1, #2); /* replace #1/#2 with your desired colors -- can also just use a single color with rgb/rgba/hex */
}

Add the above to your child theme style.css or to the WP customizer custom CSS

The plugin is the newest available in the dashboard (4.0.50). After enabling PHP sessions in advanced settings, it seemed to work for me in IE. But others are still having issues. And when I tested again I get the incorrect captcha error again depending on the browser.

That said, I went and enabled the reCAPTCHA and seem to have no issues with that one. Hopefully the users will like that ??

Thanks!

Seems to be working now. I think it needed a bit more time after entering the tracking code.

Ok. So I’ll just need to go through functions and copy the full function for each one that has customization and save it in the child functions.php.

One benefit to all this is I’m gaining deeper knowledge of the ins and outs of theme customization ??

Since the theme was so heavily customized, I’m getting lots of PHP errors. Yay.
I’m working to separate the customization made to the theme functions.php into a child theme functions.php. I haven’t had to dive as deep into the PHP code in any of my past WordPress sites, most of my past WordPress tweaks have mostly been CSS.

So, with functions.php, I need to strip out all the customization to live alone in the child theme functions.php, correct? Is this only with functions or are the other php files treated the same (header, footer, etc)?

One last question. Does the child theme folder need to maintain the folder structure of the parent theme? For example page templates is in its own folder in the parent, does it need its own folder in the child?

Thanks

Ok. Thanks for the update. When do you plan to release the rebuilt plugin?

Thanks, I think one of those techniques might work for me.

Seems like maybe the previous dev might have learned designing for wordpress in the earlier days. A lot of custom fields for content.

My contract is with a department in my local county government. And luckily the person I report to is great to work with and understanding. I have a 2-stage development plan. Get the site moved with the current theme/look and make smaller upgrades. Then look to move to a new theme/cleaner layout with larger changes.

I do have one question you might be able to help with.
The home page has been setup with a custom page template that uses a 1 column design. The template has done away with adding content via the main edit field and instead uses a feature image as a banner image below a top menu and secondary header menu. The main content has been added via custom fields.

This isn’t too much of an issue, except I’ve been asked to add a calendar to the front page. I’ve set up a Google calendar and installed Google Calendar Events plugin to integrate it into the theme. When I add the calendar shortcode to the custom field its either stripped out or rendered as plain text. Is there a easy way to add shortcode support to a custom field? I can just add the google calendar iframe code, but it doesn’t visually look as good as using the plugin.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I’ve got winmerge since its available as a portable app. Its been easier to setup a portable dev suite on a flash drive than go through the hassle of trying to get what I need installed on the workstation provided ??

The old developers advertise themselves as Drupal & WordPress experts, which makes how they went about customizing the theme by way of direct hacks depressing.

Looks like just about every PHP & CSS file is different than the default 1.4.1 folder. Also the look and layout of the theme have been heavily customized. Yay!

A main part of why I was brought in was to move the site from the old developers host to a new in-house managed host. While waiting for the new host to be setup I’ve been going through the current site and updating WP & plugins (neither had been updated) and correcting/adding smaller features. I’m going to see how easy it is to fix the theme mess on my development server to see if it might be better to go with a whole new theme once everything is transferred.

Thanks for the help! I’ll be a bit busy with this for a while! At least I’m paid by the hour ??
