Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Vantage] Menu barI am using the Premium version of Vantage and haven’t used the free version; therefore, I don’t know for sure if the Customize options are just for premium. It’s possible.
The premium version of the Vantage Theme was affordable though. I think it’s something like $19 for the premium version. It did take me a little while to get comfortable with the Vantage Theme and using the PageBuilder on some of the pages, but now that I’m comfortable with it, I’ll most likely purchase the Vantage Theme for most websites as I’ve found it to be pretty customizable for most features I want. Also found solutions to some things that were coded that I didn’t want (for example, eliminating the Featured Image appearing on the Blog page.

In reply to: [Vantage] How to change the Featured Image Settings?This works to do all of the following:
1. To shows posts in your Sidebar that have the Thumbnail Image, the Title, Date, Except and a Read More with link to the Blog Post use the Recent Posts Widget Extended. Others will also work, but that’s the one I used.
2. To get the Thumbnail into your post. Put the image in the FEATURED IMAGE box on your Post page (it’s at the bottom).
3. Now what you’ll see if the Sidebar Post with a Thumbnail Image. But, you’ll have a 100×100 Thumbnail image that will show up on your Blog (all posts) page. It won’t be on the singular post page, however.
4. Below is the rewritten code to put into APPEARANCE > CUSTOM CSS (don’t forget to hit the UPDATE after adding the code — it’s at the bottom).
/* use both CSS codes below to remove the Featured Image from appearing on the Blog page */
article.post.post-with-thumbnail-icon .entry-thumbnail img, article.page.post-with-thumbnail-icon .entry-thumbnail img {
display: none;
}article.post.post-with-thumbnail-icon .entry-main, article.page.post-with-thumbnail-icon .entry-main {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}I don’t know where Greg has it coded to show this Thumbnail in the .php files (I looked in several), so used this workaround to get rid of that featured image showing up on the Blog postings. I have an e-mail into him requesting the solution as there’s probably a better solution to than this, but haven’t heard back yet and this has been driving me crazy now for 3 days. Hope this helps anyone else who’s been dealing with this like the group above.

In reply to: [Vantage] Thumbnail Image appears next to postIt’s just the Vantage Theme, but I purchased the premium version (is that what you consider “commercial”?) Sorry, I’m new to this Forum and the authors haven’t provided much in support. Received a reply back finally today from them and it was just a blank e-mail without any comment or solution.

In reply to: [Vantage] Menu Icon cannot be displayedTried it and here’s how I found it to work.
– Add new page or open page
– Don’t put in a TITLE
– In the right-hand sidebar on the page, choose the ICON under Menu
– PUBLISH the page
– Go to APPEARANCE > MENU and add the page to your menuNote: Without a title, the page will just have a # on it and it won’t show anything in the Appearances > Menu area; however, when you go to live preview, the icon will be there as the page in your menu.
Don’t know if this is what you wanted, but if so, hope it helps.

In reply to: [Vantage] " Read More" tag disappearsI’ve found that the READ MORE won’t show unless you have the option in the APPEARANCE > THEME SETTINGS > BLOG set to full content. If you have it set just an Excerpt, then the READ MORE won’t show. I struggled with the same issue yesterday and I finally got it to work this way. Hope this helps. – Deni

In reply to: [Vantage] Child Theme issuesOh, I have tried through their website a few times. Finally got a response from Greg via email and then also got a reply from an Andrew from SiteOrigin (it took quite awhile to get any response). I thought I was purchasing from a larger company with more support, but I think it’s just these 2 guys. But, with what they’ve done so far with Vantage and with pageBuilder, I do think they’re going to have one of the best options available for designers who don’t like to do a lot of coding.
When I get answers to bugs I find, I’ll post them in this forum so others can also benefit. Forums are usually a great way to find answers to common issues we all encounter. Have a great day.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Vantage] Child Theme issuesI figured you probably already did as it sounded like you’re pretty advanced in all this stuff. It’s probably the theme, I’ve found it have bugs as well as the pageBuilder. I do think these guys (I think there’s probably 2 of them — an Andrew and a Greg) are on to something big with their PageBuilder. If they can just some of the bugs worked out and also be able to provide better customer support, they’ll be very successful. I was so frustrated with both Vantage and pageBuilder yesterday I was going to scrap the entire thing, but I’d already paid for the premium version so decided to keep plugging away at it. Slowly finding workarounds for what doesn’t work and I’m making notes for myself on the workarounds.
If you figure this one out (your problem above), can you please post the solution. I also like to use Dreamweaver for ChildThemes and always appreciate learning how to solve the problem before I encounter it.
Have a great day! DeniForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Vantage] Menu barHi,
Try APPEARANCE > CUSTOMIZE > MENUYou can change the colors for the BACKGROUND, HOVER and CURRENT selection. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the CSS.
Hope this helps. – Deni
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Vantage] Child Theme issuesSounds like you know what you’re doing, but did you put in all the child theme info including the import?
/*
Theme Name: vantage-child
Description: Vantage Child Theme
Author: Your name
Template: vantage (this has to be there or WordPress won’t be able to find the parent theme)
Version: 0.0.1
*/
@import url(“../vantage/style.css”);Don’t know if that will work for you or note. I use Dreamweaver also for child themes — works pretty well. Haven’t tried it with this theme though.

In reply to: [Vantage] Changing Header HeightHi,
Try APPEARANCE > CUSTOMIZE > GENERAL and then adjust the PADDING.That’s what worked for me, hope it works for you. – Deni
I’ve been tearing my hair out with this Theme and the pagebuilder plug-in for hours. Could not get the post widget to display thumbnail images wihtout having this huge image pop up on the post page (the codes in a php file). There’s apparently no support from the guy who wrote this and his reply emails say he gets back to people in 2 days which is horrible support. So I’m trying this forum even though I paid for the upgrade and it’s supposed to have support (yup, I’m frustrated with this company). Anyway . . .
I think if you go to APPEARANCE > CUSTOMIZE you’ll find the settings for the menu. But transaparent isn’t an option.
Try this for the initial transparency of the menu.
APPEARANCE > CUSTOM CSS.main-navigation {
position: relative;background: none transparent;
font-size: 13px;
margin: 0 -35px;
min-height: 35px; /* For when the menu becomes a sticky menu */
}This will make your menu transparent. I found the code in the style.css file, then copied it, pasted it into the Custom CSS file and just changed the background color from what was in there to the none transparent;
Hope it works for you.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Restaurant Ordering pluginHaven’t created the site yet, just researching plug-ins that may work.
Open Table won’t work because he needs the following:– Customer Account Creation supported by future login & password
– Customer info/address to show up upon their login
– Customer to be able to view a history of their past ordersThen the new order placement (minimum of 20 orders):
– Placement of each order
– Ability to attach a name to each orderThen the check out
– Itemized list of orders showing in the check-out
– COD only (he doesn’t want them to pay on-line, just to know the total)
– Ability to have the order e-mailed to both his restaurant and also to the customer orderingBACK-IN POS HISTORY
– His ability to be able to view a history of orders for the day/week/month sorted by Customer / Meal OrderedSo that’s about all that’s needed! I looked at WPPizza, but from the forum between a couple of people and the developer, that doesn’t seem to have what he was using before . It was a WordPress plug-in. I think Zupper is too new, but I’m going to check them out.
The old site is completely gone. He thinks it was hosted with Go Daddy, but wherever it was all the phone calls between him and the host support there were fruitless. There was some type of crash and all the files for the site were lost. Not even a back-up existed — it’s very odd, so I don’t think the hosting company was an actual well known hosting company — probably someone with just a server. The registrar is Go Daddy and there was probably some confusion between the difference.
So if anyone has an idea of what plug-in would provide all of the above, the information would be helpful. Thank you.
