    There’s a huge area to the right of the content that looks like a sidebar would probably go there. I have selected full width in both the page template (that I pasted the code in) and in the customizer yet I still have empty space on the right side… it’s not centered on the page.

    Also, is it possible to get a search function on this forum? Looking for the answer through several pages of forum responses is a bit tedious in comparison to just searching for an answer to a question someone may have already asked.

    Bryan,

    We are definitely working on getting a search feature implemented. Our big push right now is the v.1.5.0 release slated to come out in the next few days. Once that is off our table, we’ll be able to focus a little more attention on some of these non-theme related tasks.

    Could you please provide us with a link to your site so that we can see this? If you have selected fullwidth in both places, you should definitely not be seeing an empty space. Let us know when you have the chance.

    Thanks!

    The problem is with the child themes. I watched the tutorial, but it seems that they completely break when I activate one of them instead of customizing the main “X” theme. I’m not too familiar with child themes, so I assume that the changes I made to the main X theme aren’t going to be there when I update to the newest version?

    The theme is at http://createnik.com

    Main version is loaded now, and works fine other than a few things I haven’t figured out. If I don’t need a child theme to keep simple changes (colors, logo, links, header, etc. then I won’t worry about the child theme).

    1.) The main video is slow as molasses when loading. I might have to take it off the site completely.

    2.) When I change the color of the main area, it doesn’t change the internal color as well, meaning I have off white background and a pure white content box area.

    3.) I copy/pasted text from the demo (Integrity 1) and when I go to edit the text (and then save) the edits don’t show. They’re showing up inside the admin panel in the “write” area, but when I load the site they’re completely missing… still shows the sample text from the demo.

    Fixed the content issue. I deleted the code, pasted it in again, saved and now it works. (number 2 above – fixed)

    Bryan,

    Please ensure you are using the most recent version of the theme (v1.4.0) and the latest child themes. In v1.4.0 we had to update the theme file structure, so the child theme had to be updated, too. Sounds like you might be using an outdated child theme. I assure you they work as they are tested on our development environment and behave perfectly.

    Regarding the video, this is something that has more to do with your hosting of the site, where you’re hosting the video, and what browser you’re using. More modern browsers will render the video better than older ones, and depending on your hosting plan, this can slow down how quickly your site loads. X is built for performance first, and everything is included and used in the most performant manner possible. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but my guess is that this has more to do with hosting than anything. Due to WordPress’ dynamic nature, it requires a slightly more robust host to handle everything smoothly. If you are using a shared host, this is likely a big cause of the issue.

    I’m not completely following your third point, could you elaborate some more, or perhaps take a screenshot and share it via a link using a service like Dropbox?

    Thanks. We’ll get it all sorted out!

    I have the most current version of the child and the x theme (1.4).

    Screenshots:

    No changes made… that’s just how it looks.

    Bryan,

    When did you last download the child themes? I have just checked again and I can assure you they work. Additionally, I have helped numerous people setup child theme installations this week and it has worked just fine.

    Also, if you are using Integrity, you must ensure that you are not only using the right child theme for the correct Stack, but also the correct style (light or dark).

    The most current version of the child theme should have an @import statement inside of it that looks like so:

    @import url( '../x/framework/css/site/stacks/integrity-light.css' );

    Thanks.

    Downloading the versions off your site now. Just downloaded them today, but I got them from themeforest and not from this site, so maybe that’s the problem.

    What about that issue with the color change… did you get those screenshots? Is there a way to change that relatively easily?

    Bryan,

    You mentioned earlier that #2 was fixed. That appears to be the only question I see regarding colors. Is there something else I missed?

    That fixed the child theme issue… thanks! Might want to see which version Themeforest has… I downloaded it from there this morning and it says 1.4 on the file that I downloaded.

    All that’s left…

    1.) Color issue outlined above (with screenshot)

    2.) What should I be changing in a child theme instead of in the main theme to avoid it being overwritten. Just wanted to see which work I should be doing where.

    Bryan,

    Again, I’m very sorry, but I’m not entirely following the color issue you keep referencing.

    Regarding changes, you can add/update functions in the child theme, as well as add your own styles or scripts. Anything you can do in a normal theme, you can do in the child theme and it won’t be overwritten.

    Did you see the screenshot above?

    You can also see it on the main page… http://createnik.com

    Background color – #F7F2D8

    Header & Text area color – #FFFFFF

    I’m asking if there is a way to change the white area (FFFFFF) color.

    Bryan,

    This is the way the Integrity Stack is supposed to function.

    Each Stack within X functions like a completely unique theme. As such, each Stack has a unique design, set of functionality, and options available to it. Integrity has two main styles, light and dark. Beyond that, you can adjust certain elements such as the background color, but Integrity does not feature this ability out of the box.

    Renew however, allows you to select these colors, as it features a clean, flat design.

    Should you want to update the header and text area color, you will need to implement some custom CSS.

    Thanks!
