Michael Bissett commented on css issue not changing background imageMay 07, 2016
Hey Farzan Ahmed, Any tips on what I need to do in that css to get rid of the blue/purple background around the new image? There's a border being set in 3 different places, what you'd be looking to do is to set the border property to "none" in each place: border: none; The tool I prefer to use when it comes to cooking up custom CSS would be the Developer Tools inside of Google Chrome, we've got a handy article on using those over here: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/chrome-developer-tools/ You can inspect the loaded HTML & CSS code with those, and try out CSS changes in real time. :) can you see if you can work out a way to get rid the "please wait" from the Avator plugin and change the colour of the text for me? As for the "please wait" text, I've sorted that out with this (which I've inserted into your child theme's style.css): #svga-loader > p { display: none; } But as for the other text in that section, you're going to need more than a color change, you're most likely looking at adding a bit of background color as well. You can learn more about the background-color property over here: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/background-color/ Kind Regards, Michael P.S. As a note for the future, we'll want to stick to the initial issue in a thread, going off into several other issues in a thread can prove to be a problem. -
Michael Bissett commented on Chat Plugin resulting in (104) Error - mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, refererMay 07, 2016
Hey Daniel, The only other way I can think of that defender impacted the website was the .htaccess files it added as extra security (One of these files previously had prevent the Chat plugin from working). I've since deleted most of them, the remaining ones are blank. Okay, so this one's out. But still, wasn't the migration you mentioned done after Defender was installed? I know I'm making a real point of this, but given that Defender & Chat were working for 2 weeks beforehand, the migration being done is the only other thing that comes to my mind (unless there was something else done on the 21st?). Mind me asking what type of hosting package you've got? Is this a shared hosting package, a VPS, or a dedicated server? Also, is FastCGI the only PHP handler available? If suPHP's available, I'd advise trying to switch to that, and seeing if that helps. Please advise, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on Server Load skyrocketing and I always see the same processes taking up all the resourcesMay 07, 2016
Hey Paul, If it's easier for you to manage your collection of sites with something like MainWP, by all means, go to it! :) If the this issue with resource usage comes up again with your new setup, though, I'd advise checking out this article on diagnosing the calls to admin-ajax.php: https://woorkup.com/diagnose-admin-ajax-php-causing-slow-load-times-wordpress/ Kind Regards, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on MarketPress Add to Cart not working on mobileMay 07, 2016
Hey emilio_gagliardi, I'm seeing this happen on more than the iPhone, as I'm able to reproduce this inside of Chrome on Windows 8.1, but I'm curious about your purchase buttons, as they say Add to Cart, yet they're behaving like Buy Now buttons? (a Buy Now button would send me directly to the cart, whereas an Add to Cart button would only add the item to the cart, without a redirect) Did you insert any custom code to alter those buttons? If not, then could you please enable Support Access to your site, so that I can have a closer look at how you've got things set up here? Please advise, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on IE 11 Login Issue with Membership ProMay 06, 2016
Hey Dave, Last things first: Can't seem to set mapping on the primary domain---your plugin doesn't show in the menu when on firehero.org under Tools. It does on the other domain (everyonegoeshome.com) This'd be normal, the main site in a network isn't usually a candidate for a domain change (the other subsites would be, though). we switched to your domain mapping plugin but now our limited SSL pages don't seem to work https://www.firehero.org/donate/ https://www.firehero.org/inside-the-foundation/kids/kids-camps/ These are only SSL pages. Given the sensitivity of those pages, I'm going to need the following from you to look into this further: - Mark to my attention, the subject line should contain only: ATTN: Michael Bissett - Do not include anything else in the subject line, doing so may delay our response due to how email filtering works. - Link back to this thread - Include WordPress network admin access details (login address, username & password) - Include FTP log-in details (hostname, username & password) - Steps I need to take to reproduce the login issue over on your site (if you're not sure, please ask one of the affected users, I'll need to know this in order to reproduce this problem accurately) - Include any relevant URLs for your site IMPORTANT: Please make sure you select "I have a different question" for your topic, so it doesn't go back to the forums - this and the subject line ensure that it gets assigned to me. https://premium.wpmudev.org/contact/ [attachment=1078628,91873] Kind Regards, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on Missing social icons for Spirit ThemeMay 06, 2016
Hey Alex, In regards to these rules: .youtube:hover:before {background:url('http://onpoint.co.uk/assets/icons/mail-ov.svg'); } .facebook:hover:before {background:url('http://onpoint.co.uk/assets/icons/fb-ov.svg'); } .twitter:hover:before {background:url('http://onpoint.co.uk/assets/icons/tw-ov.svg'); } The paths had to be changed for those, as they're now stored in the /assets folder directly, rather than existing in a /icons subfolder. I also had to disable the CSS rules for those icons in the Global Theme CSS rules, you'll see that the "Mail Icon switch and rollover fix" section is now commented out. The icons that Spirit provides itself are now stored here: /uf-spirit/ui/sprite.png And the code needed to be updated to point over there. The email icon you had before looks to be missing, do you have a backup of it available? (the email icon for the hover state still exists, it's the non-hover state one that's missing) Kind Regards, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on Pro Sites Pricing Table Free SIteMay 06, 2016
Hey Blake, do you have any suggestions for getting my rows lined up? You'll want to set the "height" value for each section for the "Free" level in that feature table. You may need to use the #prosites-checkout-table CSS ID, as seen in my earlier code. Font sizes are something you'll want to look at too, like the "2 Page Limit" text you've got for the Free level (it's being wrapped in a paragraph tag, rather than a div tag, and that will need to be taken into account). We've got a guide available for the Developer Tools in Chrome (my tool of choice), and would highly advise checking it out over here: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/chrome-developer-tools/ ("Inspecting Elements" & "Working With CSS" sections are the sections you'll want to look at) You can test out your CSS changes live that way. :) Kind Regards, Michael -
Michael Bissett commented on Sales Tax for International Orders Incorrectly ChargedMay 06, 2016
Hey Mike Howlett, I see that you've got a beta version of MarketPress on your site, from the looks of it, could I ask what thread you got it from, please? Also, could you please provide an example of a order where sales tax was charged to an out of state customer? By default, it should only be charging sales tax to users who are in the same state that the "Base State/Province/Region" is set to. Please advise, Michael -

Hey jamesdonegan, I'll need to ping my colleague Jude on this one, as he's more familiar with your site than I am here. Thanks for your patience in the meantime! Kind Regards, Michael
