@ejwickes, this thread is specifically for the ‘minamaze’ theme https://www.ads-software.com/themes/minamaze/

you should ask x theme for support or something

the trick is always code it yourself, i am actually irritated at most themes

piling up plugins is just going to make a bigger mess

i already showed how to center on resize, it’s built into the api, no manual timeouts needed https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/make-the-map-center-upon-resize?replies=1

pippin, can you adjust the plugin?

all the options are in appearance>menus, unless the theme you’re using doesnt utilize this feature (in which case you’re going to have to modify or change the theme, or use private pages so that only logged in people can view them)

you can just edit the blocker.php file to add that other domain for now

yes changes get lost when updating, that’s why you manually update by comparing the files

you’re in the same situation with a child theme (when specifically doing php modifications) since the docs suggest you copy the original file to your child theme… but then what will happen when the parent updates? you have to copy their new file again or risk having something break since the child theme is loading an old version of the code

redtail, try commenting out the whole section, see how things work, etc

the slideshow uses the full image, not thumbs… seems the home page featured boxes do too…

if ( is_front_page() or thinkup_check_ishome() ) {

		echo '<div id="section-home"><div id="section-home-inner">';

					'<div class="section">',
					'<div class="entry-header">';
					if ( empty( $thinkup_homepage_section1_image ) ) {

gee, maybe these sizes really arent used AT ALL? i just did a find in files in my text editor looking for any reference to those sizes… there is none, they are generated for nothing, only the pro version of the theme would ever use them since it has a layout builder, so this free version of minamaze is inefficient & bloated

remember to note down what file you change, keep backups, NOT update through wp-admin but compare your modified files to the new version when it comes out, integrate the changes in, then upload your modified new version (or attempt to make a child theme)

i dont know what to tell you, the file is there in the minamaze folder, i’m looking at the latest zip & of course my modification of the previous version

as for having 3 boxes, that’s a common trait many sites do for the last few years, so you should easily find it in various other themes, or even code or have someone code your own boxes since they’re quite simple

i would think about the rest of the design when choosing what theme to use, as one thing that bugs me from the very start of loading minamaze is the tiny font size along with a few other details, making it seem not as well thought out as it should be

now about those generated thumbnails, they technically dont matter, they merely make uploading new images a little slower, but it’s not like they cause any harm once generated, there arent many hosting providers left where you have to worry about a few more MB storage use

that’s right, modifying the theme files means you need to pay attention when updating it (to do the same modification again)

karenrbnt, it should stop generating so many (as i’ve done this), the only ones left are the 3 default WP thumb sizes

it wont delete the existing generated files, & using a thumbnail regenerating plugin wont/shouldnt delete the existing ones, you can just manually delete them or leave them

also, the 3 home page boxes may need one of the theme’s sizes (or again modify the code that displays the image)

child themes would be good, but i couldnt get it to show the theme options in wp-admin, & as i understood them, you’re still copying the source files to your child theme, so when the parent updates, you have to copy the updated file & make your changes again… defeating the purpose of a child theme

this theme is a little odd when you look at its code, some parts are commented out to remove pro version features, other parts have leftovers from the pro version that arent really used on the frontend, yet still take up processing power

you can do anything when you modify the theme files…

mrcaddie, what do you mean it looks horrible? was it aliased or what happened? screenshots & links would be nice

make them redirect? there are plugins for 301 redirects, the main idea is to not make those old urls give a 404 not found, but to have them load while also telling crawlers to use the new url (it’s not like you can edit a link to you on a random forum, so at some point, someone is going to run into the old url & it needs to gracefully work)

as for google… well if you added your site on webmaster tools, you can make a request to remove old urls then add new ones or just refresh the sitemap

this question is an SEO/google question anyway, shouldnt be here in the minamaze forum or on WP at all

i gave up on trying to make a child theme, ended up modifying the main one

you can override the theme’s default design for the text to make it smaller (or hide it) for mobile

link to site, which devices? what do you mean by short version of the menu?

line 205 to 313 of /minamaze/admin/main/options/00.theme-setup.php

the reason is for having multiple layouts, but i have the feeling that’s only useful for the pro version of the theme that has a layout maker

appearance>menus?

i mean, sometimes flagged mail gets discarded before reaching your inbox (not even your junk folder)

the potential for flagging comes from the fact that a website as opposed to a person is sending the email, & that the from address might not be the reply-to address (even if both addresses exist, the mail headers show that it was sent from php not a mail client)

have you tried other contact plugins that send emails from WP? i would also tell the web host & your mail provider that some of these mails arent going through, in case they have something you can try or something they can unflag

edit: email sucks, it’s decades old, full of problems, full of spammers, unencrypted, etc… need something new to come out
