Thanks for confirming that.

We’ll be pushing a new version that is compatible with 5.2 to prevent this for other users.

All —

This appears to be a PHP compatability issue and is not affecting all users. If you know the PHP version your server is running, please let us know.

vanhorck:

Have you specified a “Replaces” value?

You have to tell IntelliWidget the default widget you wish to override.

The bullets are coming from the “.widget ul” selector in the parent theme stylesheet.

Add this to your child theme stylesheet (not the intelliwidget stylesheet):

.widget.widget_intelliwidget ul {
  list-style-position: outside;
  list-style-type: none;
}

Update: I was also able to get the same result by adding this to the [theme]/intelliwidget/intelliwidget.css stylesheet:

.widget.widget_intelliwidget ul {
    list-style:none;
}

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Child elements often inherit styles from CSS selectors of which you may not be aware. It is possible that your widget class is injecting a style attribute that is not being overridden by the intelliwidget stylesheet.

If you can send me a link to the web page in question, I can take a look at where the offending bullet is coming from.

You can also “inspect element” in your browser to see the styles that are being applied to the element if you would like to research on your own. Please let me know either way so I may close the ticket.

Thanks for using IW!

By “interface” I mean “user interface” to make changes to the functions.php and other files that make up a theme other than the stylesheet INSIDE THE WP ADMIN.

The plugin makes it very easy to override/add CSS styles in the child theme, and is some cases this can control other functionality as well. In order to modify the functions of the theme, you will have to add and manually edit functions.php and any other necessary template files under the child theme directory.

More than likely, yes; however, both 1) and 2) would be changes to theme functions rather than the stylesheet (save for the background color). Child Theme Configurator will create the new instance to which the function changes can be added, but the plugin does not provide an interface for such changes.

We would be happy to give you a price for making the changes, but will need to see the theme code first.

From the FAQs:

Where do I put custom templates/stylesheets?

Here are the steps:

1. Add a directory in your theme named “intelliwidget”.
2. Create a copy of “intelliwidget.css” (located in the “templates” directory of the plugin) and drop it into this directory.
3. Adjust the styles as necessary.
4. Review the documentation for more information:

• Templates: https://www.lilaeamedia.com/plugins/intelliwidget/#templates
• Stylesheet: https://www.lilaeamedia.com/plugins/intelliwidget/#stylesheet

Hi Bill,

Thanks for using CTC!

First, you can drop any templates into the new child theme directory and WordPress will use them instead of the parent theme’s version. Copying the parent theme’s version of the template is a good starting point. Templates like front-page.php may not exist in a lot of themes, so you may have to create them from scratch.

Second, the WP Codex is one of the best resources for this information. Start here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

Then, learn this chart inside and out:

Hope this helps!

Hi cfuller,

We pushed version 1.4.2 which fixes this and a few other UI issues.

Thanks for using IW!

The child theme will automatically inherit any changes to the parent theme unless you specifically override theme in the child theme.

First of all, almost all of your content comes from the database, which is independent of the theme.

You must activate the child theme for it to use any changes you make using the Child Theme Configurator. WordPress will use the parent theme by default for anything that it doesn’t find in the child theme, so only the CSS styles that you modify in the child theme will change.

Any logic that exists in the parent theme will be used like normal.

If you don’t like your changes, just re-activate the parent theme and it will all go back to normal.

For more information, read the article on Child Themes in the WordPress Codex

This has been fixed in v 1.1.3.

Thanks for the heads up and using Child Theme Configurator!

Hi Tim,

Will you do me a favor and swap out lines 248-250 in class-ctc.php

from:

function check_theme_exists($theme) {
return in_array(strtolower($theme), array_keys(wp_get_themes()));
}

to:

function check_theme_exists($theme) {
return in_array($theme, array_keys(wp_get_themes()));
}

and let me know if it fixes the issue. If so we’ll push a new version shortly.

Thanks for using CTC,

Sorry about that. The problem is in the class-intelliwidget-query.php file. We did not test for multiple category values.

You can swap out the 1.3.9 version of that file only and the rest of 1.4.0 should work with the new enhancements.

Look for a 1.4.1 patch coming promptly.
