Hoping you can help. I’m having 2 issues: 1) I can’t seem to update the theme. I get this message: Could not remove the old theme. Theme update failed.
2) I’m unable to link up my social profile for YouTube to my Mirsky Digital YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/Mirskydigital). I wonder if this could relate to YouTube changing its URL structure from /user to /c. It is probably not helpful that I’m using an older version of the theme. I saw for another Theme that the answer was that it was looking for a YouTube PROFILE vs a CHANNEL so perhaps that is the answer? I have tried every which type of YouTube username in the Flexform social icons UI area, but all result in broken links. This is an answer I found on the forums which could apply here?
Social Prifiles – you tube
Hey,
The YouTube widget is meant for profiles, not channels.
I’ve created a tutorial for our Supreme theme, but it should work for Pinpoint as well, so here goes:
———————————————————————
– Open wp-content/themes/pinpoint/includes/shortcodes.php via FTP with a code editor, such as Sublime Text 2 or Dreamweaver or Notepad++
– go to line ±600, where you see this:
if ($youtube) { $social_icons .= ‘<li class=”youtube”>YouTube‘; }
Change that to:
if ($youtube) { $social_icons .= ‘<li class=”youtube”>YouTube‘; }
It is also required to change ‘user’ for ‘channel’ in line 83 in widget-subscribers.php
wp-content/themes/pinpoint/includes/widgets/widget-subscribers.php
Save the files to server and it should work as you need it now.
Regards,
