    That was all it took, I had started on it in December and .. it had expired, that was the only reason why it wasn’t listed. Looks like I am all set, will launch the site as soon as I load it up with content now.

    I am using the code you created in the new site. I am adding tide charts to the custom post type. The one place I am stuck is trying to display, what after reading the docs, looks like the ‘archive’ page correctly. The first post has the url:
    /tidecharts/january-2015/ which works and shows the page.

    However when I pull up /tidecharts/ it says there is nothing in the archive page to display.

    1. I want to get that url working if possible. 2. I would like to ensure that it display the posts in the reversed date order. I see in the code, the query is already re-sorted to display in oldest first order. So it looks like I just need to figure out how to display the data that gets loaded in the $tidecharts_queries variable in the last line of the function on the /tidecharts/ page.

    This may have something to do with adding a file called archive-{post_type}.php or archive-tidecharts.php file in my case to the child theme. I am not sure exactly how to structure that file. I figure I may need to reference the tidecharts_queries variable in it somehow.

    I cannot yet provide a working url, its on a development server. Shortly after figuring this out, I am going to switch the dns over soon.. wanted to get this working first but really I have an idea how I can at least make it work in the interim another way which would allow me to go ahead and switch the dns, then I could post a url ..

    I had not yet found that one. I just installed it on a site I am set to launch soon and will see how it goes. Thanks for the info there.

    Thanks for posting that link. I was wondering if this was the only way to do this..

    It seems like its a font display issue that is related to firefox.

    After reading the thread, I tried to recreate the issue in chrome and they display fine.

    Will keep messing around with it.. must be some minor issue. I tried checking the ‘let sites choose their own fonts’ but it was already enabled..

    >Sometimes, you need to refresh the browser, and wait until the page has loaded completely.

    The page is loaded. Literally in the source code ( I looked ) it shows no html markup, literally just a “-1” and thats it.

    >You could also click “Enable Support” at the top of the admin page, and I’ll take a look for you.

    I did already the other day before posting. Maybe the setting didn’t go through, when I clicked the button at the bottom of the page that loads the diagnostic info, the same page refreshed again.. I was wondering if something else was supposed to happen.

    Do I need to send you the information that it loads to the page in an email? I can do that as well..

    edit – updated to the current 2.5 version. still no luck with the run now version but I see the plugin is working and backing it up automatically everynight and the full weekly one as well.

    >The settings should show up in a modal window ( lightbox )

    This is very interesting, I actually did not know this plugin was supposed to work from a lightbox / modal window. So far, all the sites I had used it on (even ones where the run now button was working), the plugin loaded on an all white page. Could it be a browser issue? I am running FF 27.0.1

    I guess I could try and recreate the issue in another browser..

    @breisi – Are you running the plugin Nexgen gallery by any chance?

    I was thinking about my issue and remembered that plugin has caused compatibility issues in the past. From what I understand it adds a bunch of database tables, thus may complicate the process.

    I also had Simple WordPress Backup plugin installed ( but disabled ) on this site when I had the error.

    @paul de Wouters – I just updated to the latest version and still experienced the error. I just clicked “enable support” as you requested. Please advise when you have a chance and if there is anything I can do to help message me or post here and I will respond asap.

    Thank you for the response. Nice to know this is on the way.

    I am starting to like this theme, its functional in a lot of ways. Wish there was a little more direct way to edit the home page content.

    Can you give an estimate on when those features will be available?

    The one I am using this theme on is ready to launch the site… I may just have to make it work for the time being with an inline slide show or custom code one in for now.

    Same thing happened to me.

    Did you customize the header.php file in your child theme? They recoded that file a fair bit. Make a new copy of that file in your child theme, re-insert your customizations and hopefully you will be back on track.

    Hrmm.. works in my child theme. I am not using the custom css box that you inserted the code into. Maybe have to add some more !important declarations to it:

    .carousel .item {
        line-height: 500px !important;
        min-height: 500px !important;
        overflow: visible !important;
    }

    > Link to your website?
    The site I am working on currently has a coming soon page activated, thus its hard to link to a working example. We will be launching this week.

    > Where did you add this code?
    The code is in my child theme.

    > why does it say 1200px? The best width is 1170px right?
    I thought I saw 1200 in the theme docs, but I saw the 1170px width suggested in the forum, maybe this helps with that situation, I should try it.

    I will post the link to it when its live. the people are happy with the css mods I implemented in this post.. they really were upset about the clipping as they are making some pages with a single image collage at the top and you could only see about half the images in the bottom row when it was displaying full screen and sometimes when resized.

    I posted because I figured someone else had tried to mod the theme in this manner and was looking for general feedback on the subject. Thanks for taking a look at the thread.

    For those in this thread still seeking a solution, in the thread I linked to in my last post, a member was kind enough to post a solution and it also worked for me:

    Go to Gallery Settings and set templates for all the display types. I am not sure which one fixed my problem, I just set the first one for each place it offered a selection ( each one was blank when I first looked ). Save and go back to your funky looking page, should be all better now.

    Thank you for posting this solution!! it worked for me too!

    Thanks for posting this. I have a backup of the 1.9.7 version which is what I used when I built the site & was considering this option as well. Glad to hear it worked because my first question was if doing so would cause other issues ( say the database structure had changed).

    I know its not a sure thing, but nice to know that you fixed your site using this method.
