Hi,

I recently updated to wordpress 4.7 and updated all the Themeco plugins and theme to the lastest versions. I then tried updating my website and playing around with different Themeco Themes, after a new look, but it has caused my blog page for my posts to have weird formatting issues.

http://jonathanoduffy.com/blog/

I have spent a while digging through what could be the problem but to no luck.

I have narrowed it down to an issue with that url being a problem – for some reason the css formatting for the url just causes the page to go strange.

I have tried the following:

1) Change the theme back to what it was but to no luck.
2) Tried to import various other themeco demos but has no change on the blog url.
3) Change the page the posts are displayed on. The posts and formatting are all correct. But the blog page, which is no empty, still has formatting issues with the menu.
4) Resetting the xcs file and even importing new ones.
5) Clear the cache – both with wp super cache and with adding &clean-cache on the url
6) Deactive all the plugins to see if any were causing the issue. But still the same error.
7) Delete and re-add the blog page.
8) Create a new page and change its url to the blog url – this still displays the same menu/formatting error.

Those are the the ones I remember doing.

Any help would be appreciated.
One of the last resorts I have is to reset the whole website and add in all the content but I would rather avoid that.

Hi there,

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this after the update. What you’re seeing is a result of the X CSS path structure being changed back in version 4.3.3. You can fix this by using the updated child theme format that isn’t stack specific. Or you can update the path in style.css of your child theme. For more information on this process, take a look at the 4.3.3 release notes: http://theme.co/changelog/#theme-4-3-3

Hope it helps.

Thank you for the reply.

I acutally tried to use the Child Themes before. I might have downloaded older versions of them – the zip folder container zip files for the different theme types (when I use these theme downloads, all my menu across all pages go to a strange/no format).

I went ahead and tried to update to the child theme but still have the same error – I downloaded the version you provide a link to. The rest of the website pages are fine, its just the blog url one.

I then went ahead and checked the style.css and the functions.php files to make sure they matched the description/notes. I don’t have any custom functions or css code. I have been sticking to what cornerstone and x-theme can do by itself.

Unless I am missing something, I think its one of those strange bugs.

Hello Jonathan,

It seems that this part below is missing from your child theme’s functions.php file:

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

Please add it. When child theme is active, that line of code calls for the parent stylesheet.
See this:https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/child-theme-updates/

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

But the child theme’s function.php file already contains that section of code.
This is what the file contains:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// —————————————————————————–
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// —————————————————————————–
// 01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// 02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( ‘x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet’, ‘__return_true’ );

// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

Hello Jonathan,

I can see that the issue only exists on your blog index page. Other pages are loading properly. This might be cache since you do have caching plugin. Please try to purge/cache and then try again.

[joduffy]

Yep.

I narrowed the issue down to that page as well.
The cahce plugin is something I installed to make sure their was an error in that area – the problem existed before hand. One of the solutions I seen on the themeco forum was to install a cache plugin so that the cache could be cleared.

So I have tried that but no luck.

So the problem is still there before and after I installed and used the plugin.

I thought it might be an issue with the fact I used post carousel and then switched to a different format. But if I try putting it back in, the formatting just gets worse. I can switch my blog to a different page, and it works fine – even turning on/off the carousel and swapping between different themes.

Just not sure what is causing this problem.

Hi,

If that’s the case, kindy switch your blog to a different page and delete the old one as it seems corrupted.

Thanks

[joduffy]

Thanks for the reply.

But if I move the blog to a new page. Doesn’t that mean that all previous links/blog posts will be broken ie they will now have new links or rather their url changes.

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Just the blog page’s URL will be changed. Posts will stay the same.

Hope it helps.
