Hi there!

I just ran into the same issue and investigated the bug. I’ve documented my findings here: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/36748.

I encourage everyone looking for a fix to take a look at the link I posted above (https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/24498#comment:35). I did a deep dive to figure out why this happened and concluded that there is a bug that causes indices to be ignored when the meta_key is utf8mb4.

I have found that this issue can be resolved if you change the meta_key field back to utf8. The link has the full story.

For those looking for a temporary fix, I would investigate changing the meta_key charset to utf8.

We’ve filed a ticket with MariaDB regarding the indexing issue. If you could upvote it, it might get more attention: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-8872.

I did a deep dive into this issue and found that the issue is with the utf8mb4 encoding of the meta_key column. It you switch that encoding back to utf8 it should be a fast query again. I cannot vouch for this not causing other issues, but it is certainly worth trying for those that are having issues.

Hi there!

Sorry for the troubles. Sounds like something on your site could be messing with your capabilities. It is theoretically possible that if the capabilities are messed up, you would not be able to see the reports.

I think the best place to start would be with the following error:

[09-Mar-2015 20:01:17 UTC] PHP Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /home2/theauti9/public_html/bluestarguide/wp-content/plugins/contact-bank/contact-bank.php on line 640

Thank a lot, John! Looking to get some time to develop out a few new features to make it even better.

Hi Theresa!

I’m sorry to hear that ?? Are you sure that the plugin is activated? The reports menu item should appear immediately upon activation.

Are you seeing any errors in your PHP logs or perhaps any other issues on your site?

What version of WordPress are you running?

Thanks, Adam! I’m glad you like the plugin. Please let me know if you run into any issues.

Hi there!

Thank you for reporting this issue!

I have confirmed the bug. I have already patched it, but it likely won’t be released until later this week.

If you are comfortable updating PHP files, I can tell you how to apply the patch so that this issue will be fixed for you.

Hi there!

You should be able to control the date, author and comment count location in the “Content & Layout” panel in the Customizer. In each section in that panel, you will have individual controls for those elements. If you set them to the same setting, they should all display on the same line.

Hi there!

Are you saying that you are trying to restore the PHP to its original state? If so, I might actually recommend reinstalling the theme. The automatic excerpt generation gets a little complicated and it could be hard to track down the changes that you made.

Hi there!

There certainly could be a lot of things going on here. It sounds like a plugin conflict to me. Can you try deactivating all plugins except for bbPress and see if it works?

Hi Naren!

The Make theme does not load arbitrary fonts. If you have chosen fonts in the Customizer, those fonts get loaded. There is no way to tell whether you actually need the font or not, so if you chose the font, it will be loaded.

I also recommend updating to the latest version of the theme. We did overhaul some things related to fonts and it might improve your experience.

Hi there!

In order to avoid overwriting your changes, you will want to make your changes in a child theme. By doing so, you never replace your child theme code and only update the parent theme code, thereby avoiding overwriting your child theme’s code.

Also, when responsive, the menu bar is on top of the image in the index php. Is it possible to place the index item above the menu bar?

Not without a customization unfortunately ??

Hi Andy!

Thanks for the review! I am glad that you have found Make helpful for prototyping.

We have also identified our documentation as a weak spot and have already put into motion plans to improve it. In Make 1.3.0, we add a significant amount of hooks to allow developers more customization options. We added documentation in the code for the hooks. The next phase of the project is to bring this documentation over to our website and write some helpful tutorials.

We definitely know that needs improvement and it is on the horizon.

Thanks again!

Hi there!

Unfortunately, Make does not support this. You could; however, use a banner section and a post list section to achieve both a banner and list of posts on a page. The post list section is only available with Make Plus, so you would need to purchase that upgrade for it to work.
