Cool, thanks for the update.

Regarding the RSS feed – you are indeed correct about the missing <p> tag – adding a CR between the shortcode part works and I thank you for your observation sir – we are due to migrate a few hundred pages with a template based on this page so well spotted!

Having fixed the broken <p> tag still the feed is empty …if you check the feed now you will see the page shows up when no carousel is present.

Regards

Hello Ed,

Sorry to trouble you once more but can I add one more small issue for you to investigate.

I have just discovered that when using the Portfolio Carousel block, it causes the page to not show up in the rss feed – if I delete the carousel then the item appears in the feed.

The only reference I could find which helped me pinpoint the problem is that it is a parse error in the rss feed – in this case caused by the Portfolio Carousel block!

Hopefully this is my last issue – other than that my project is going extremely well thanks to the bootstrap gained from using your template!

Regards

Sam

Hey Ed, sorry – busy week!

I followed the instructions you posted and copied the builder into the child theme – modified functions.php and the builder no longer appears – revert and all is well – unless I was being stupid I am pretty sure I did it correctly?! – no console error, just doesn’t load.

I am in the process of migrating data at the moment so will revisit this when I have time – more important is the bug in the portfolio carousel and the testimonials slider – they work fine but if you select an individual category to display then no posts show and no testimonials – leave them set to ‘All’ and it works – my client really needs to display different categories in different areas so it is crucial that this functions correctly.

I also spotted a small issue where if you set a custom page title in the meta – the title changes correctly but an empty <h3> tag appears – looks like it is the page sub title causing this – if you leave it empty. have hidden with css for now as it causes the title area to appear longer than pages where no custom title is set.

And in the Portfolio, I cannot use & or + characters in category names! – if i do so the post is not displayed when clicking the category filter, thought it does show there is a post there.

These may seem like small issues but they are quite important for the site and as yet nobody has acknowledged these issues.

Any news on an update of the theme?

Regards

Sam

No problem guys – custom work aside, what about the issues I raised? nobody has addressed them as yet so I would appreciate a response here.

With regards to updates to your theme, I have configured a child theme and have modified meta-boxes.php and composer.php in order to have the meta boxes and page builder available on my CPT’s – I followed the advice given by Ed on this post: http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/flexform-theme-child/

If you’d like to have the page builder in the child theme, then change the parent theme functions.php file line 30 from: include(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . ‘/page-builder/js_composer.php’); to include(get_stylesheet_directory_uri(). ‘/includes/page-builder/js_composer.php’); and copy the file structure in the child theme.

Unfortunately the meta boxes and page builder just disappear from all post edit pages – the info you provided seems pretty straight forward so not sure what I am missing? Could you please advise.

Regards

Sam

Just an update to clarify my issue – it appears that if I have archives enabled for my custom post type then browsing http://localhost/slug-name displays a blog style list of my articles.

As far as I can tell if I create a page called archive-sd_article.php based on a copy of archive.php I would then be able to customise the layout.

What I would like is to display my posts using the layout used in the portfolio and if possible use the filter available in the portfolio but I am not sure how to go about editing archive-sd_article.php – basically I want all the portfolio stuff but using my custom post type of ‘articles’ as my client posts both blogs and full articles I do not want them to share the default blog categories but have separate ones.

if you could advise me here I would appreciate it.
