@romik84 your solution doesn’t work and still my site is a mess after update!!
An update shouldn’t be this hard!
Think I have to change the theme. Thanks anyway.

No changes, the same messy look after update!

@romik84 good job, but the theme needs a bit more adjustment, hope you do it soon before I change, it’ll be sad coz it’s a good one!
@frankmartialarts probably need to update more than a stylesheet definitions…if you did some changes to the functions, you need to update their definitions too. If you don’t know what to update, hire an experienced developer 😉
before this theme I’ve never made any changes on child theme, just updated the parent without touching the child, my question is that, is this theme different, and if the answer is yes, why not mention?
we updated the template structure as mentioned in the entry for optimization purposes. If we wanna have faster better optimized theme, we cannot stick with an old structure. It’s not true it’s not mentioned, it’s mentioned in the changelog file 😉
this is a free theme same like other themes here on the wp.org and you are free to switch to any theme as you need 😉

@romik84 no need to get offended dear and attack me, mistakes happen and no shame in it. 🙂
As I said once, I studied web design, and the reason I use WordPress is that the web host I pay to have it in the package (means I pay for WordPress), also I really don’t have time to design from scratch.
If your theme needs more adjustment and it’s not as other themes, you can mention it and give instructions (not just mention the changes), that’ll be more professional rather than solve the issues on forum! 😉
Of course I checked the Changelog, it mentions the changes, but it doesn’t give any instructions!
When I said that never happened before to me means that, your theme doesn’t function correctly after update, while other themes which I used didn’t have the same issue! This isn’t my first year of designing! 🙂
And maybe instead of getting offended and defend the theme you made, you could give me the instruction to make the theme work? 🙂

I don’t have a child theme. Never had problem with updates, i have some lines of custom css and never this was a problem.
As i’ve mentioned a lot of times in this forum i’ve tried many many themes before i decide that evolve was the one 4 me. Now we have a big change with optimizations and i’ll trust Roman because all those years he gives more and more options to a free theme.
My site is very big (1100 artcles, >5000 photos), etc.
I’ll wait in 3.8.4. and i’m sure the forthcoming updated will resolve some details.
Now Some questions…
Is it true that there is no more Verdana font family? My site is in Greek language and it was good!
Also my menu is very big with many sub-menu items.
All the 3.9 sites have problem with menu, (mine too was a very very big list without sub menus)
And the slides in bootstrap was also listed.
The icons in social bar (youtube, rss) was also listed and very big.
Thats why i rolled back.
Can all this be fixed if i change options in customizer;
I want my site like this(3.8.4) – this took me a hole summer in 2015 to build:
http://gym-vasil.lef.sch.gr/
Is it possible to be the same with new update;
if yes i’ll try to make changes when i return home and have my PC.
Thanks for support…
…and remember: we are a little grumpy but we love evolve!
Thats the reasons
@nickpapag well the theme uses now the Kirki framework so they must not include that font, but maybe they will. One time :).
@frankmartialarts no offending I would try. Saying facts ;). As mentioned, the structure has been changed so it may break things. I recommend to check the trac files what has been updated. Every user can have different theme setup or different child theme so it’s not possible to give exact instructions how to rebuild a theme. If the layout is not expected, the best way is to start investigate the CSS call 😉

@romik84 the definition of fact here is important, otherwise anybody can claim their words are facts. My fact by saying “dysfunctions after update” based on statistics, and your fact by saying “find expert developer” based on what, do you have any knowledge about my education or etc? 🙂
Anyway, statically here in this forum shows that several people have issues after update, and I just simply want to know why this much dysfunctions can happen, which never happened before with other themes!
I understand that not all users have the same theme customization and issues, but mine is almost like @donnawpadmin, so what’s the reason, You can give me some heads up at least?
You talk generally and not specific or technical!
By the way, those changes you mentiond to Donna about adjusting “functions.php” didn’t work for me!!
Again, your theme is nice and much better than others which I had before, and I hope it’ll work and no hard feelings. 😉
@romik84 — can you at least give some guideline as to what, if anything, I would need to change for my functions.php for my child theme? I do not have the same configuration as Donna (it looks like she used a plugin to create her child theme, while I set mine up manually a long time ago).
With 3.84, my child theme is set within functions.php as follows:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
So would I also need to make changes for an update to 3.9?
Another question re the version 3.9 update — I can see from the changelog that you have removed the contact form from the theme.
If I were to copy the 3.84 contact.php and place it within the page-templates directory of my child theme, would that still work? Or should I redesign my contact page using a plugin like Contact Form 7 prior to upgrade?
@frankmartialarts with all respect, till now you didn’t provide any relevant information what you are experiencing with the theme, error message, screenshot, anything? Then what my answers should be? They are general. In summary of that, I don’t own any support to anyone.
@abigailm if you have defined new styles in your child theme, then yes, you need to update that parent theme css slug. Copying the contact page template won’t help as it used options from the panel. It has to be completely removed, as per WP requirement.

@romik84 this is my first time here, which means I usually solve most of my issues either by myself or research, also means that the issue is beyond explanation! Also I mentioned once that I have the same problem as Donna, if you read my comments, and I don’t see any attachment button to show you any screenshot.
Best way I can describe the situation is that nothing is in the right place, such as, main menu goes to the side, very huge pictures and texts, footer and header aren’t in the right place, and short term description, it’s a total mess.
Before update, the site is neat, after is like an explosion happens!

There are online services, which let you to post screenshots, e.g. https://app.prntscr.com/. There are screen video services, e.g. http://screencast-o-matic.com/screen_recorder . And last but not least, there is a button for a link in the editor 😉 It’s like guessing why a car can not start and the owner ask a service company for a help without any clues 😉 Even without showing a picture of the car 😀
i’m coming back to post my experience with the new update.
my wife has a website with other theme and i’ve tried to install evolve 3.9 and make it like mine with 3.8.4.
i must confess that the differences are small and the first panic has disappeared.
only a few help from Roman…
when i go to a category page (http://users.sch.gr/antoniagk/category/unitxbadv/unit5-unitxbadv/)
i see the breadcrump navi and the text
You are browsing archives for
Κατηγορία: Unit 5
how can i delete the text You are browsing archives for
Also in homepage in bootstrap slider can the black gradient in title and description goes from left to right to the hole picture slider?
http://users.sch.gr/antoniagk/
one more thing. In mobile the submenu is not accessible
Thank u so much
