I know this is an old thread, but I had the same issue of not wanting to have to choose between regular bullets and shortcode bullets for special posts. There were far too many posts on the site when I transferred it to Pinpoint to have to change every bulleted list.

I was able to come up with a solution. I can’t promise it’ll work for the original poster here, but it works for me. I can still use the default bullets in regular post content, but whenever I add the shortcode link styles, it removes the extra disc bullets. I hope it helps if anyone else has this issue!

.sf-list li {
	list-style: none !important;
}

If you made any adjustments to your list margins or padding (such as indents) for the main content area, you might have to also account for that here if things don’t look quite right.

That’s not a big deal. Ed made another change to that template file for me in the past to change another default on the old imported posts (the sidebar I believe). So I already have to update that particular file manually, along with a few custom page templates I’ve added. One more thing to add to my list shouldn’t cause any headaches. 🙂

Quick follow-up:

The code pasted previously won’t actually put a G+ link on the author page for you — just the description. You’d need to tweak it further to add any extra fields.

But if your primary concern is having authorship reflected with each indexed post, you don’t need that on the author page. Personally I just use the WordPress SEO plugin which adds a G+ field to user profiles. The blog I linked you two was a multi-author blog, and that solution worked very well to get every author tied to their content if they wanted to be.

Thanks. I opted to just remove the if statement about the option being ticked, as I’ll never have a need to leave that off a post. That took care of it for all of the past posts and defaults to showing it for the new ones.

If you don’t mind the bio being full-width, I can show you what I did with mine. Here’s an example with my bio:

http://allindiewriters.com/author/jenn/

Here’s what I have in archive.php in the author archive section to do that:

<?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
		<?php $author = get_userdata( get_query_var('author') );?>
			<h1><?php _e("Author:", "swiftframework"); ?> <?php echo $author->display_name;?></h1>
<div class="author-info-wrap clearfix">
<div class="author-avatar"><?php if(function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('ID'), '75'); } ?></div>
<div class="post-info">

<div class="description"><?php echo get_the_author_meta('description'); ?></div>
</div></div>

You would need to fiddle with it a bit more or set up a separate author.php if you wanted it in-line with the rest of the content. In my case I wanted to highlight them a bit more rather than have them fit within the normal post width.

Hope that helps!

Trying to manually update and I’m having the same issue. The latest version doesn’t seem to be up at ThemeForest, and the WP automatic upgrade deletes all of my custom template files whenever I run it. I’d much prefer to have access to the downloaded files so I can just run a diff checker and replace what’s needed in the changed files.

Thanks!

Nevermind. I was able to find what Ed added to my old single.php to change the default sidebar setting to right sidebars for existing / imported posts.

He added:

if ($sidebar_config == "") {
$sidebar_config = "right-sidebar";
}

if ($right_sidebar == “”) {
$right_sidebar = “Sidebar-1”;
}

Right before the section starting with:

$page_wrap_class = '';

It would awesome if an option could be added in future updates that would let the site owner choose the default when it’s being implemented with existing posts. Full width just doesn’t make sense for most blog post pages.

There is no option to select no sidebars for Woocommerce product pages. The options on your theme’s templates don’t show up at all for Woocommerce product pages right now (or at least they don’t on my installation).

[jennmattern]

Ed actually gave me a fix previously that edited post sidebars all at once. And I’m looking for that solution again too since the theme upgrade. He made a change to the single post template that made my sidebar preference (right sidebar) the default for existing posts instead of no sidebars. Any idea which setting that could be? I had some info in a support ticket, but access to our past tickets seems to have been removed now.  It would be great to see that documented somewhere for those of us who import posts into this theme. In my case it’s 1500 posts. Manually changing sidebars is not an option.

[jennmattern]

Thanks a million Ed. You rock.

I left all permissions as the defaults on installation as that worked with v1.3. So I didn’t think to change those.

Changed it from 666 to 644, and all is right with the world. 🙂

Thanks again!

And just to show that I’m not crazy, I did the following just now (after posting my last response).

– I downloaded a completely fresh copy of the theme from ThemeForest.

– I installed it on a separate site that has a completely fresh WP installation and database.

– I made sure there were absolutely no plugins on that site.

– I tried to use the shortcodes button on the add post screen and I had exactly the same error. The pop-up window does not display shortcodes. It’s trying to load something on the front-end of the site instead. In this case it’s loading the default homepage.

[jennmattern]

I’ve said this numerous times already, but let’s try once more…

– The only changes made directly to the theme files were to header.php. On no planet would those changes have affected the shortcodes (removing the meta title and changing the number of columns taken up by each section of the navigation bar — that’s it).

– I have already replaced that header.php file with your default. The problem still existed.

– My WP guy re-installed your entire theme again with ALL default files. The problem still existed.

– We not only deactivated, but DELETED, all WP plugins for testing. Even with every one of them removed, the problem existed.

– When our separate test site was running 1.3, the problem did not exist. When my WP guy updated it to 1.4, that site ALSO had this problem where the shortcode button tried to load something on the front-end of the site rather than loading the shortcodes.

So no, it’s not something we manually customized that caused the problem. Like I’ve said, the only file edited was replaced. All CSS changes were done in the custom CSS field provided in the theme settings. And we’ve tried with every single plugin de-activated and deleted.

[jennmattern]

I had my WP guy look into it, and he confirmed that the problem is, in fact, with the theme. He disabled all plugins and reinstalled the theme. The problem still existed.

The version where the button worked for me on a clean install was from my 1.3 download. So he replaced that with 1.4 as well. And then the shortcode button was broken there too.

On the non-public test site, the pop-up screen loads the site homepage. On the other, it loaded a 404 page. But in both cases it’s trying to load the front-end site instead of the shortcodes.

[jennmattern]

I also had the same issue with 1.4. No default bullets display on the site. To get bullets, you’d have to use the shortcodes. But the shortcode button is broken in 1.4 (as per my other thread).
