• Hi
    I, like many others on here, recently updated my theme only for it to look completely diabolical! It didn’t even resemble a website, all I could see was a massive x – not even sure where that came from, a huge logo, some text off to one side, just awful to be honest! I quickly re-installed a back up to version 2.1.8 and luckily all is ok at the moment but I am now dreading trying to update again. I do not have the time to re-build so am thinking of moving to a new theme. I have been working with WordPress for over 10 years now and have never seen an update go so bad!

    I have a child theme, which from reading the others, seems to be the main issue, with quite a bit of css. I understand these now need updating, but I can’t seem to find a list of the new info.

    h1 {
    font-size: 24px!important;}
    h2 {
    font-size: 22px!important;}
    h3 {
    font-size: 16px!important;}
    h4 {
    font-size: 16px!important;}
    
    
    
    /* Home page hide title */
    .page-id-107 .entry-title{
    display:none !important;
    }
    .page-id-107 .main-content-section {
    padding-top: 0px;
    }
    .page-id-107 #main {
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    }
    
    /* Nav background colour */
    #site-navigation {
        background-color: #00abcb;
    }
    
    /* Nav background colour drop down */
    .main-navigation ul li ul li {
      background: #00abcb;
    }
    /* Search Box */
    input.s {
        width: 75%;
    }
    /* Footer widget spacing */
    @media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
        .tg-footer-main-widget {
            width: 25%;
        }
    
        .tg-footer-other-widgets {
            width: 72.368421%;
        }
    	
    /* Footer titles spacing */
    .footer-widgets-area .widget-title span {
        padding: 10px 10px 8px 10px!important;
        display: inline-block;
    }
    
    /* Author off posts */
    .below-entry-meta .byline {
      display: none;
    }
    
    /* Display adsense header */
    #header-left-section {
        width: 25%;
    }
    #header-right-section {
        width: 75%;
    }
    @media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
        #header-left-section, #header-right-section {
            float: none;
            width: 100%;
        }
    }
    #header-right-section .textwidget p br {
        display: none;
    }
    #header-right-section .textwidget p {
        margin-bottom: 0;
    }
    
    /* Footer colour */
    .footer-socket-wrapper {
    background-color:  #00abcb!important;}
    }
    .footer-widgets-wrapper {
    background-color:  #00abcb!important;
    }
    .footer-widgets-area .widget-title span {
        padding: 6px 1px;
        display: inline-block;
    }
    
    /* Footer seperator lines */
    #colophon .widget ul li {
        border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff!important;
    }
    /* Footer copyright */
    .footer-socket-wrapper .copyright {
        color: #ffffff!important;
    }
    .footer-socket-wrapper .copyright {
        background-color: #00abcb!important;
    }
    .footer-socket-wrapper {
        background-color: #00abcb!important;
    }
    .footer-socket-wrapper .copyright {
        max-width: 100%;
    }
    /* Banner Image media text: margins */
    .wp-block-media-text .wp-block-media-text__content {
    direction: ltr;
    grid-column: 2;
    grid-row: 1;
    padding: 10% 8% 10%;
    word-break: break-word;
    }
    .fwrap-package_id-10 { display: none !important; }
    .uwp-profile-header .card-img-top {display:none}
    .card-img-overlay {display:none}
    .uwp-profile-header {margin-top: 100px}

    Are you able to provide a list of new classes etc and advise what else I need to do to ensure the update for a child theme goes smoothly?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi @eic2010,

    Thanks for reaching us,

    In the recent ColorMag Major updates, we have modified few things with the theme that includes the HTML markups, CSS, and various other code refactors. Since you are using the child theme, you’ll need to update the code by checking with the latest version of the theme. You don’t need to recreate the child theme but update it.

    For example – For making the changes on the Post Title, you can achieve its class as shown in the screenshot here: https://prnt.sc/rKV7lymKfWSs. Its class will be cm-entry-header. Under the class, you can make CSS modifications such as color, font size, and so on. In a similar manner, you can do this for other sections of your site.

    I hope you are clear now. If you still have any confusion or issues while changing the Class and IDs, kindly let us know the issue and we will get back to you.

    Also, we don’t recommend using the old version of the theme. You can use the latest version of the theme, and if you go with any issues, please drop us a query or contact us via the live chat support here: https://www.themegrill.com/

    Thank you, I have updated to the new version now but have had to use the normal theme not the child one as I could not get it to look anything like my old site. I am updating the css now with the new classes etc but am stuck on one which I ma hoping you could help me with? On my existing site I resized the 4 footer columns so that they were all the same size with the following code:

    @media screen and (min-width: 600px) {

        .tg-footer-main-widget {

            width: 25%;

        }

        .tg-footer-other-widgets {

            width: 72.368421%;

        }

    However I can’t seem to get the new code to work on the updated one. Can you help?

    My site is still on a staging site and is not live at the moment. I have four columns in the footer but at the moment they are not of individual widths. The first column is much wider than the other three. In the last version I managed to make them all equal widths by using the code above but this doesn’t work on the new version. Do you have new code for this?

    Hi @eic2010,

    Can you please share the screenshot from the footer area of how it is looking so that I can check and provide an appropriate solutions.

    Regards
