Support » Theme: boots » Boots stopped working when I upgraded to latest version

  • I was loving Boots until I upgraded to the latest version (I don’t remember the version number) and Boots stopped working.

    That’s when my site got this error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function boots_custom_header_image_content() in /home/content/89/7281089/html/blog/wp-content/themes/boots_old/header.php on line 28

    You can see what it looks like here: http://keepyourmarriage.com/blog/

    Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you, that DID work to restore Boots. However, when I went back to my site, the CSS was messed up.

    I made sure that the CSS that I had applied to the site was mostly unchanged and yet the colors that I had customized were missing, the sidebars were missing and the header default size is now 1600 X 310, whereas before it had been 1600 X 160.

    How can I get the site back to the way it was?

    Unfortunately, your instructions to address my Boots theme problems are not clear. Here are some of the issues:

    1. I uploaded my header with dimensions 1600 x 160 as you suggested without cropping. You can see the result here: http://keepyourmarriage.com/blog/

    The suggested header dimensions in the customizer instructions specify 1600 x 310. Before I upgraded to the newest version of Boots the header of 1600 x 160 looked fine. Now it looks horrible.

    2. I don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me about Customize/Presentation/Layout and Sidebar. The column width and position controls do not seem to be working.

    3. I have no idea what you mean by “You can change columns setting all you needs , archive,index single post… “

    4. There is no explanation that I can find of many of the functions in the Customizer (such as Advanced, Presentation, Exerpt, etc.).

    5. The top menu now has the font-size too large. I really would rather have it look like it did before and I would hate to try to analyze the CSS to fix it, as I’m not a coder.

    The previous version of Boots was working great and was the best free theme I had found. Unfortunately, this new version leaves much to be desired because I don’t know how to fix it.

    Please tell me what to do to get back my old look and feel. Otherwise I may have to abandon Boots and start from scratch with another theme.

    Are you using CSS Editor ?

    Your WEBSite source

    <link rel="stylesheet" id="custom-css-css" type="text/css" href="http://keepyourmarriage.com/blog/?custom-css=1&csblog=1&cscache=6&csrev=362" />

    Please remove below style

    line:146

    /* Reduce height of header.*/
    #header-image {
    	margin: auto;
    	width: 100% !important;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	min-height: 0;
    	height: 160px !important;
    }

    and your CSS Editor or boots/style.css bottom.

    Add following style

    #top #header-image{
        padding-bottom:3%;
    }
    #site-title span{
        display:none;
    }

    #site-title span is hide your site title.

    header image maybe shows correctory.

    2. Next Config Main Menu font size and width

    Customize / Presentation / Menu

    Menu Primary Font Size and Menu Primary Min Width

    Use the slider, please small

    3. Change Columns from 1 col to 2col

    Customize / Presentation / Layout and Sidebars

    set value detail at Side bar setting method

    Wait a few seconds, a number of box appears below.

    Index Page columns,Date Archive columns…Author Archives columns

    set value 2 at all columns settings

    3. Sidebar Position

    Customize / Presentation / Layout and Sidebars

    Set value right 300px at Column Width and Position

    Please try above.
