 * Hi Sallie – I would assume the above would work.
 * A couple of questions if you don’t mind:
 * – Which theme you are using?
    – Also, does the theme provide its own colour palette,
   or do you need to register all the colours yourself? (ie, the theme does not 
   have built in theme support for color palettes)
 * Thanks
    – Ross

 * Hey [@jlop77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlop77/)
 * Do you mean the heading element?
 * You can add custom styles by using rules like this (we’ll be making it simpler
   in that update):
 *     ```
       .cl-template .cl-element.cl-element-title {
           color: #f00;
           font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you have the title linking to the post, you would need to use this instead:
 *     ```
       .cl-template .cl-element.cl-element-title a {
           color: #f00;
           font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * *There is an addition `a` in the CSS rule.
 * Let me know if that works for you?
 * Best

 * Hey [@jlop77](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlop77/) – yeah we are a bit
   behind on this release – should be another month or two.
 * Sure fire over what you need to do regarding CSS and I’ll try to advise – just
   to note – we are unable to offer writting custom CSS in general – but hopefully
   I can give you a good point in the right direction.
 * If you have a URL that would be handy too.
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@barthuis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barthuis/)
 * Thanks for the detailed info.
 * After looking through other tickets of a similar nature, the best bet I can see
   is that a configuration issue on the server is causing WP to try to trigger this
   mode, when it should not (specifically when a plugin like ours is using `WP_Filesystem`)
 * However, it looks like some other plugin authors have managed to work around 
   this.
 * I’ll try see if we can achive something similar, but its going to be next week
   before I can have a proper look at this – probably not an ideal scenario when
   testing out a new plugin I know!
 * I will update with my findings next week.
 * Best

 * Hey [@barthuis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barthuis/)
 * Sorry to hear you’re having troubles.
 * That is most odd, we use a WP function for creating a CSS file in your `/uploads`
   folder.
 * If your site doesn’t have that write access or FTP access, then we will load 
   the CSS in your pages.
 * In any event, an error should not be thrown, because all cases should be handled:/
 * This sounds like it might be an issue with this particular function in WP, and
   your environment (I can only guess at this stage).
 * Some things I would do (and please let me know answers to see if I can help more)
 * 1 – What version of WP are you, can you update to latest?
    2 – Are your plugins
   out of date, can you update them to latest?3 – Are you on a shared host? 3 – 
   When you add other plugins, do you have similar issues? 4 – The error message,
   is it on activation (preventing actual activation)? Could you share a screenshot?
 * Some similar / related issues I found that I’m reading through at the moment:

 * Hey Marian
 * I think what you will need to do is use one of our filters to change the output
   of one of the elements in your template.
 * How are you with a bit of coding?
 * I can give the outline of what you would need, I assume metabox has some functions
   for displaying the values?

 * Hey [@divydovy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divydovy/) , my install was
   just a clean install with the Custom Layouts plugin (and S&F).
 * In the gif, you can see me creating the first custom template, mostly default
   settings.
 * Why don’t you create a temp site here to show me the issue (first one is free
   I think, and doesn’t require sign-up)?
 * tastewp.com
 * I’ll then be able to tinker with this to.find out the issue (I’m keen to resolve!)

 * In regards to the filters – you can find them here:
    [https://customlayouts.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/](https://customlayouts.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/)
 * The one you probably want is this:
    `custom-layouts/element/render_output`
 * This allows you to completely replace the HTML of the element.

 * Hi Valerie
 * Just before I double check this, are you on the latest version (1.4.2)?
 * I believe in a recent update we made these vars available in our loops – if not
   then I will need to track down a bug it looks like :/
 * Thanks

 * Hi Valerie
 * If you use one of our filters to modify the output of an element, you should 
   be able to get the post ID by doing (recommended):
 * `get_the_ID()` ?
 * Otherwise, this should work:
 *     ```
       global $post;
       $post->ID; // this is the var
       ```
   
 * Let me know how you get on 🙂

 * Hey [@divydovy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/divydovy/)
 * I’ve had a chance to go through and test but can’t replicate your issue.
 * I’m probably doing something different so maybe a peek at my setup might help?
   
   [https://drive.google.com/file/d/19XMuGUg2QaJtDvh779ONnphu_LMlMIV0/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/19XMuGUg2QaJtDvh779ONnphu_LMlMIV0/view?usp=sharing)
 * If you could send a recording of your setup and how it works that might guide
   me in the right direction? Otherwise, recreating the issue on another environment
   we can both access might be the best way forward…
 * A couple of questions:
 * 1) Can you recreate the issue with Search & Filter disabled? (my guess is yes)
   
   2) Is this on a clean install? Can we try reverting to a default theme + disable
   other plugins to verify?
 * Re wp_reset_query – we don’t actually use functions like `the_post()` for going
   over our loops – exactly to avoid the kinds of messes created by missuse of these
   functions.
 * We do however, store the results of the query in WP transients, for faster loading.
 * To bypass this (for testing) you can add this to wp-config:
    `define( 'CUSTOM_LAYOUTS_DEBUG',
   true );`
 * This only disables the internal plugin caching (for now).
 * Let me know your feedback on the above!
 * Best
