Thanks — I updated WordPress and so far everything seems to be working as it should. 🙂

[slurp]

That truly shows — and I bet I speak for everyone here, when I say I truly appreciate your insights.

Ok, I think I have a better idea now about what to come here for, in case I encounter such situations.

Take care and once more, thank you!

Hello!

Oh, I am sorry! I didn’t mean to exploit your support in any way!
The simple truth is that your help here in this support forum is just so swift and great that I started turning to it quite often — I guess a bit too often.

May I ask, what kind of support might I seek here in the future? Or have I filled up my quota on questions?
It might also be a good idea to add some guidelines to this forum about posting and what is included in the support. I hadn’t thought about this before, which probably means there might be others as well. 🙂

The last line of code you provided fixed the problem! Thank you so much for everything, Bill!

From now on, I’ll try to resolve more on my own. 🙂

Hi!

I updated the theme! Now the featured products widgets stopped showing four items per row. 😀
Do you know what might be causing that?

The custom css that made a row of four items instead of three is copied from this forum from one of your answers:

.product-list {
	margin-right: -15px;
}

.home-product-block li {
	width: 262px;
	margin-right: 15px;
}

.home-product-block li:nth-child(3n + 1) {
	margin-right: 15px;
}

.home-product-block li:nth-child(3n + 3) {
	margin-right: 15px;
	margin-left: 0;
}

@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1200px) {
	
	.home-product-block li,
	#staff-list article {
		width: 217px;
	}

}

Hi!

Thank you very much for all that!
The hero title center now fine, but I would like to replace the text title with a picture. How would I go about that?
I tried adding it with the background-image command like this:

.hero-copy  {
	position: relative;
	display: table-cell;
	vertical-align: middle;
	top: auto;
	left: auto;
	right: auto;
	width: 100%;
  	background-image: url("logo.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
  	background-position: center;
}

But that way the image (the logo) went to the actual center covering the hero texts.
Furthermore, if the hero title is changed in the front page, does it affect the WooCommerce category displaying as a text/name of the category? If so, can they be two separate instances?

As for the logo in the navigation bar, I ended up just doing it with the right pixel dimensions, because otherwise the logo came over the navigation bar and I couldn’t figure out how to easily resize it to fit the nav bar.

Thanks, Bill! You are the best!:)

Oh, and how can I get the image that replaces the hero title on the front page to position vertically and horizontally in the center? Now the top of the image seems to start at the vertical middle.

Thanks!:)

Hi!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have the Nav Menu Roles installed and tried that before adding the custom function. The problem with that is adding the custom link to the menu. With logging in it’s fine, but logging out one would need to create a unique WP nonce to identify the logout. This I couldn’t manage to include in the custom link in the menu setting, because I couldn’t get the php to work inside the custom link field. Do you have any ideas, how this could be achieved?

Thanks in advance!:)

[slurp]

Oh, sorry to hear that — I hope you get well soon! And all the more reason for me to express my gratitude for your help. Thank you!:)

[slurp]

Wow, this was a beautifully simple solution!:) Thank you!

Hi!

This seemed to help somewhat, but the problem persist: the hero image is visible as a background until the scrolling has stopped.
I don’t know, whether this is related to the last snippet you provided, but the navigation bar started acting weird (flashing and spastic vertical jitter) when scrolling.
I now tried disabling the parallax and the last snippet you provided in the custom-js and custom-css. This helped the most with smoothness on all devices, but the same thing is still happening with the background being visible while scrolling.

Thanks!

Hi!

This fixed the problem on computer!
I tested on PC: Chrome, Firefox and IE; MacBook: Safari and Chrome. But on Android (Chrome) and iPad (Chrome and Safari) the home sections were slow to render.
By this I mean that when scrolling down, the hero image slid in to view from under the previous home section and covered the next one, until the scrolling stopped and the home section would come forward.
Also the navigation bar turned black only after the scrolling stopped, and the hero image text fade out was spastic.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi!

Thanks for that suggestion. It says on the WordPress site that they haven’t updated that plug-in for two years. That seems quite long for no updates — it might be that they have stopped developing it?

I am now playing around with a plug-in called Members, but it is somewhat lacking, because it only hides the post content — not the whole post (title, pictures — the whole works), which I would prefer.

The navigation menu customizing was very easy with a plugin called Nav Menu Roles. With that I could make menu items that show only for logged-in, logged-out user or even specific user groups.

By the way, is it possible to have two separate blog feeds (i.e. based on category) on the same website?

Thanks!

Bill,

thank you so much! This was what caused the issue.

You are the best!:)

Hi, Bill!

This worked perfectly, except for one minor detail: I had to set this value `#home-one {
margin-top: 100%
}` to 50%. Maybe due to the size of the original background image?
Nevertheless, it works perfectly. And your clear, step-by-step instructions are truly great!

Thank you!:)

It worked in such a way, that the default sidebar was customized for the needs of the blog and then substituted in the WooCommerce shop by a custom widget area. This was the logically the easiest, because the plugin was built by the WooCommerce developers and therefore had directly WooCommerce substitution options. 😛 Sometimes one needs to bang their head on the wall a bit, before realizing something simple.

Thank you for your help!:)

Hi!

Thanks for a quick reply! This solved the layout issue splendidly. 🙂

Another problem I am having is the content of the sidebar. How can I make different sidebars for the shop and blog? Now it shows the same content (ie. shopping cart, product categories etc.) also in the blog, whereas I would like to show only post archives and categories there.

I tried the WooSidebars plugin and it worked for all the other pages except the blog and the shop. Probably due to the reason you stated above?

Thank you!
