Websites not displaying correctly after theme/cornerstone updates

Support
#1

Hi,

We updated X to 5.2.2 and cornerstone to 2.1.3 and there are a number of places on our website that are not formatting properly:

* http://learningcooperatives.org/ - content band shortcodes in center of page and footer

And maybe other issues on other pages…haven’t checked everything.

Please let me know how best to address these issues.

Thank you,
Alison

Hi Alison,

Thank you for writing in, please clear all your site’s caching plugin and feature after updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

I am not seeing the shortcodes that you’re referring to on my end? Please clarify.

On this site http://princetonlearningcooperative.org/, what content that you’re referring to is missing? I see that the 3rd footer column has a text widget but that has nothing on it, are you referring to that? Please check it from the back-end (Appearance > Widgets) if it is actually empty or not.

Have a nice day,
Cheers!

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. We are still having these problems. I checked and I don’t think we have any caching plugins running.

I fixed the problems earlier last week to take out the shortcodes on the pages that I pointed out in my original post because it was a problem to have these displaying on our website. Here are some other pages that display the problem, that I haven’t fixed yet:

Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Seems like the best option is to change the elements used to display the content.

Thanks,
Alison

Hi there,

I checked the cases you have mentioned and nearly for all of them the problem is the use of outdated shortcodes to achieve the view you want.

I suggest that for those pages you create counterparts and use our new Section/Columning system to achieve the way you want to have using the Cornerstone Editor.

Especially the new V2 element and sections give you nearly countless options to achieve different layouts.

Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestion to make the change to the new V2 elements and sections. I’m working on the changes. One issue I’ve come across is getting a button to center in a column. It seems like the flexbox would be the place to specify this, but no matter what I choose there, using both the column and row options, the button stays left justified. Here’s a snip of what I mean:

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Hi Alison,

To center the content of a Container when using Flex layout:
Flex Layout > Set to Column
Horizontal > Set to center
See this: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cb60lnI8Dr

For normal content when not using Flex, just set text align to center.

Hope this helps.

Hi Lely,

Thanks for your thoughts. I can’t find access to the container inside a column. I’m using X (not Pro) so maybe there’s a difference? I did find a solution. I wanted the button centered, but not the text that’s also in the same column. The solution was to choose center for the column and then in the text element set it to left justify.

And if there’s a way to access the V2 container option in X Cornerstone, please let me know.

Thanks,
Alison

Hi there,

You do not have those options for the sections and columns, but as you mentioned you have the option to set the text-align:

Thank you
