Here is ours: http://artizanmade.com/

I’m loving the theme. There is definitely a learning curve as it is so robust, but overall it’s truly beautiful. Just a few things that I miss from our old one. (Having comments on portfolio pages would be appreciated…)

Hi! I have a tech guy helping me with many of the issues I described above. He wants to know if it is possible to override this file from the child theme: wp-content/plugins/swiftframework/includes/custom-post-types/portfolio-type.php

I want all changes he does to be on the child theme so that when there are theme updates we don’t lose whatever he did, but apparently there is a modification that he made that he can’t do on the child one.

Thanks!

I am still having issues with the two sidebars showing up on certain pages. Here’s an example:
http://artizanmade.com/product-category/to-wear/accessories-to-wear/

The sidebar and filter show up, with no products to the right of them. Scroll down and you will see the woocommerce sidebar again, this time without the filter and with the products.

I have a plugin tester and ran a test and found that a light plugin that I am using to create the drop down categories in the sidebar was taking a lot of space. I disabled it, refreshed the page and the problem went away. But, I really want that capability as it makes things so much tidier on the page.

I wrote to the plugin author and he said:

“Hello, our plugin does not related to your issues. If you will check our plugin files and code you will see that this is very simple plugin that just add 5 lines of JavaScript to add “>” arrows to your default woocommerce categories widget and its expandable behavior. Plugin does not change anything in theme templates or layouts.”

Do you have any suggestions about what could be causing this?

Actually, I want to add one more:

9. Portfolio Pages: There are no comment boxes at the bottom of the pages and we used them a lot in our old theme. Our members can leave updates there and visitors can comment on their work. Please enable them. I also want the text that says “View Project” changed to “Visit Website”. I didn’t see that in the theme options. Example: http://artizanmade.com/portfolios/fiber-art-heidi/

I’m going over the things that I need fixed. I am feeling frustrated because there are some glitches and I don’t feel like I am moving along at the pace that I would like to in order to get this site in good shape… This time I will use numbers.

1. Portfolio page: http://artizanmade.com/member-profiles/
Can the spacing for the tags be changed to single spacing? I think the default takes up too much space.

2. Can the shape of the gallery view be changed to a square? Most of our images are set up as squares.

Shop Area

3. Landing Page: http://artizanmade.com/market/ The category orders I set up with the images are not being followed. I wanted Clothing, Accessories and Jewelry on the first row, as an example. You responded with: “If you use this plugin, you can re-order the category items: Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-terms-order/” I could add another plugin, but we already have so many and the more plugins you have, the more problems with them playing nice with each other. The images on the landing page are the category ones and your Swift page design has a tool to order them. I would like that checked, to see why that is not working.

Sidebar Issues Very important! The shop pages look very messy right now…

4. On some of the category pages, two sidebars show up, one on top of the other:
http://artizanmade.com/product-category/all-products/home-and-office/
The price filter is frozen to the right with no products showing to the right. That whole sidebar and filter should be gone. The real one is below that. This looks really awful.

5. The filters do not work.

6. Pages are not contained so that products show up under the sidebar and mess up the layout.

Category and Product Display

7. I wanted to display the categories at the top of the page with the products below but there is no visual separation. Is there a way to do that? Categories contained at the top with products separated by spacing and maybe text below? From the response above, I believe you are saying that this is not possible. But, I know I have seen shops where the categories are at the top, then there is a space, then products show. I know I can use the page builder for the ones that I can access, but not the ones that are generated.

8. Product display: I really like the way the products display with the overlay and square. But, I don’t want the categories showing up under the image. I would just like the Product Title, Price and Shop Name. We are setting up a marketplace so only have a few products associated to shops so far. Example: http://artizanmade.com/vendor/artizan-made/ We have two products listed there and don’t need the categories showing.

There is more, but I can only handle so much at a time. Once the visuals are in place, that will help a lot.

Thank you, David. It looks like my email issues are resolved. Can you send me an email address that I can use to set you up as an admin on the site?

Would it be better to work via email on the issues I am having with the theme? I added the code to the css for the product displays and nothing happened:

.products .product .product-details .posted_in {
display: none;
}

There are many other things that I want to go through and can add screen prints if it’s helpful. Let me know whether to do it here or by email.

Sorry. I’m having some connectivity issues, so will continue when my host is a bit more stable….

Ah, I just saw your answer. For some reason, I didn’t get it via email. Alright, I’ll keep struggling away at it. It would be helpful if you guys developed more tutorials. My other theme designer has loads of them and it helped so much!

[rayela]

My other theme designer helped me change the file names, so the portfolios and slides are now there. I am still wondering about the compatibility between Visual Composer and yours. Can I have both there?

I figured out the mega navigation, but it’s huge, so any tips on that would be helpful…
