Hi,

I have this theme working on a few sites and just today noticed an issue with iPad for one site only. On iPad in landscape the menu items are listed horizontally. Some of the menu items are not links, but use the # to allow just the drop down menu to appear. These work fine.

The problem is that the menu items that are links to actual pages go to that page when tapped, i.e. the submenu does not appear. Even if I make sure I tap only the double arrows, I am still sent to the linked page.

I am up to date with the latest version.

Funny thing is this does not happen on my other sites using this theme?!? The only difference I have been able to find is that the other sites do not use dummy # links to operate sub-menus.

You responded that I would need to remove X-Shortcodes and install Cornerstone. I don’t want to install Cornerstone. I don’t need it, I find it cumbersome and bloated. Shortcodes are designed for a speedy, specific task and are completely DEVELOPER friendly. Cornerstone to me seems as though it is for amateur site designers. I use cornerstone on another site and it kills me every time I want to add some of my own customization as I have to do it the Cornerstone way because I get a Warning Message when I go to edit a page in the Text/HTML tab. Reminds me of Pagebuilder which was pretty crappy for real developers as well.

So, the long and short is I don’t want to install Cornerstone and I don’t see how installing it will ‘Fix’ the iPad menu issue described above. I have modified the menu a little since the previous post, but go to the site and try to get this sub-menu pop-out to work:

Parents -> Fundraising -> Auction

It does not display, rather because Fundraising is a page, therefore not a # link, it links to the page Fundraising rather than popping out the sub-sub menu Auction.

I will leave this link active for now, I can do a work-around, but I would rather it work properly, and I don’t see how and of the X-Shortcodes can actually affect a menu… they should be self-contained (and quickly looking through your src JS files there doesn’t seem to be any conflict with the menu).

Anyways, thanks again and I will try to follow up quickly this time…

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Threads are automatically archived if they not active for a long time and we don’t have control over that, but we’ll see what I can do 🙂

As for the iPad issue, please add this CSS to your customizer’s custom CSS.

@media ( max-width: 1024px ) and ( orientation: landscape ) {

.x-nav-wrap.desktop {
    display: none;
}
.x-nav-wrap.mobile.in, .x-nav-wrap.mobile.collapsing {
    display: block;
}
.x-btn-navbar {
	display:block;
	float: right;
}

}

Installing Cornerstone and deleting X shortcode is mandatory especially that you already updated your X theme to 4.4.2 and WordPress to 4.5.3. If you didn’t update your X theme and WordPress, then you’re safe using X shortcodes.

Please note that even if Cornerstone is installed, you’re not required to use it. There is no bloat since you’re not using it, cornerstone will only load if you will edit your content through it. No sense for it to run when it’s not needed. And under customizer’s setting, you can disable it for specific post types, hence, disabling it for good. X Shortcodes is within cornerstone.

Thanks!

Very nice. Sandwich menu. Thanks.

As for Cornerstone. Okay, I was not aware that you can disable it, and I am glad to hear that it does not run if it isn’t needed. WordPress is already fairly slow IMHO so slowing it down needlessly is a bad thing. Glad to hear you designed CS with that in mind.
