Menu and logo scaling

[deejayhart]

I am fine with the mobile-style menu on iphone and ipad, but if you try it on 1024 laptop, the navigation is clearly overlapping the menu.

I like the current size of the logo but want it to shrink in a responsive way as soon as the nav meets the logo – can’t explain any better than that. Possible?

Thanks!

Hi

I can’t see your link

http://www.soundtwisters.co.uk – I have just moved the site into root and consequently lost a lot of the customisation (but not things like colour customisation) so it is not a migration error or database problem – see my other thread first which is rather more important! Why is this? Major problem if Cardinal cannot preserve this information.

I do have the option of “rolling back” to yesterday but this is all a big hassle and developing in a subfolder and then moving to root is a very standard practise for designers – for obvious reasons…

You can’t just move your site from a sub folder to the root folder without replacing the links in the database, as everything will be linking to the wrong link. I recommend this tool https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

I know that, and followed the guide carefully. I did a search and replace so that EVERY link in the sql file in Notepad had changed from /site to root. So that isn’t the problem. Solution?

Ta.

What customisations did you lose?

– Kyle

[deejayhart]

I explained. Here, off the top of my head.

Lost promo bar, and it is set to default not showing.
Showing footer which I disabled.
Fonts all gone – says there are no custom fonts.
ALL custom CSS.
Had to include the logo again.

I have kept the custom colours, media library, pages and so on – so why is this?!

I can either roll back (which does not actually solve the need to switch *relatively* easily to root following site client approval) or go through everything, painstakingly, and manually restore everything, finding all the CSS changes that were posted on the thread.

So please give this proper thought as it is clearly important that we get “to the root” of it 😉

I will forward this to the developer for you

Thanks – you agree this is something that really should be preserved, and that clearly there is nothing wrong with the way I followed instructions including re-importing db?

Hi @deejayhart

The theme wouldn’t be responsible for database options which don’t get moved with database import/exports etc.

There is a theme options tab where you can export the options, to back them up. Always best to do that first as you can re-import after you’ve moved if they don’t get carried across.

Thanks fore your reply. This means I will have to roll back with the hosting company, do the whole export and import database again, and follow the theme options export.

Now if this is the case, I cannot argue but is this specific to this theme? I’ve never had that problem with elegant themes for example.

To me, this makes client review while in progress rather more difficult than it needs to be, but it does seem my only other option is to use a passworded holding page plugin since I would not want them to have to log in to wordpress just to view the site – for one thing, the top menu of dashboard spoils the look.

So can you recommend a plugin that makes “work in progress review” much less hassley than developing in a subfolder?

Your detailed response to all these questions gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi Dan,

It’s not specific to the theme as such, but the options framework stores it’s data in the database – this is standard practice for WordPress.

You don’t need to use a plugin, Cardinal comes ready with a Maintenance mode option – you can even set up a page instead of the default message. You can set the admin bar as hidden in the user profile settings if you’d prefer.
