Hello! Sorry about the frustration. It looks like you've got the code on two lines there. When you have it right, you should only see one line number on the left-hand side there. In your screenshot, you can see that "div:nth-" starts a second line of code.

How do I change the background on each page. I like the background picture on the home page but just want a white background on the rest of the pages. Having the picture on the home page on every page looks really bad.

I like the background picture on the home page and the way it can continue show up on the way down the page. I do not want this same picture in the background of all of my pages.  Those I just want to be white with no picture.  Having the picture on the home page on every page looks really bad.

Answer

Hello!

Thanks for writing back! Evolv does things a little differently compared to other themes in the BoldGrid Theme Framework, so I think your best bet for this one is to actually use a snippet of custom JavaScript.

You may need to tweak this based on your color palette. Navigate to Customize -> Advanced -> Custom JS & CSS and paste the following snippet, exactly as it appears here, into your Custom Theme JS box:

jQuery('body').not('body.page-template-page_home').removeClass('custom-background').addClass('color4-background-color');

Basically, what this will do is select every post and page that's not "page-template-page_home," i.e. your Home Page, and remove the "custom-background," then add the "color4-background-color." 

The part that you might need to tweak is the number in the last set of parentheses. For reference, check out your color palette in Customize -> Colors and use this numbering scheme:

Generally speaking, numbers 4 and 5 are going to be the best for your background.


I hope this helps!

Your theme is affecting text colour on iframes

David A Mulholland 5 years ago updated 5 years ago 2

I am using one of the Cognito sites forms on my home page www.businessmoneymatters.co.uk  that is supposed to have a white background and black text but when I use those colours the text appears white. So I have had to temporarily change the colours to a red background  

This is a response from their support

Hi,

The white color for the text looks to be coming form a theme or setting on your website that is bleeding over into the Cognito Form. The specific stile looks to be the following that is applying 'color: currentColor;' to the CSS class.

.boldgrid-section.bg-background-color :not(.btn):not(select):not(textarea):not(input):not(.wp-playlist), .boldgrid-section .bg-background-color :not(.btn):not(select):not(textarea):not(input):not(.wp-playlist), .boldgrid-section.dynamic-gridblock.bg-background-color :not(.btn):not(select):not(textarea):not(input):not(.wp-playlist), .boldgrid-section.dynamic-gridblock .bg-background-color :not(.btn):not(select):not(textarea):not(input):not(.wp-playlist)

I can provide you with CSS to correct this but it will make the text of the form always be that one color, and adjusting the color in the style editor will not effect the form, much like you have now. You can either update the CSS of your site to not blank apply the 'color: currentColor;' to all content or use CSS to target Cognito Forms text and change the color.

The code is not included by default as depending on the length of the form some users would want the end user to start at the top of the form and have the scroll up function.

Thank you,
Nicholas

Answer

Hello David,

As you noted, it looks like you may have resolved this issue already. I'm currently seeing the following CSS on your form:

.cognito .c-forms-form .c-editor, .cognito .c-forms-form .c-rating-scale-questions {
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 0.8125em;
color: #000000; }

This has the effect of making the text black (#000000) for  your form. Since your iFrame was in a block with a black background, the Theme Framework works to ensure that your text has a contrast with the background color so that it's readable. 

Please let us know if you need any more help resolving this issue, we're happy to help.

Product page not displaying background colour on the Evolve template.

Answer

Hello,


Thank you very much for the great question, I'm sorry to hear that you've lost so much time working on this issue.

The Product Page template is set to use whichever background you've selected in Customize -> Background, in your case the image background. 

Here's a custom CSS rule that you can paste into your Customize -> Advanced -> Custom JS & CSS menu:

.product-template-default #content > main { background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.7); }

This will add a black background at 70% opacity, which will make the products page look like this:

blocks disappeared when trying to edit pages

iveta 5 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 5 years ago 1
Answer

Hello,

Thanks for the question, I'm very sorry to hear that your blocks disappeared while editing your pages.

Can you provide a little more information about the issue you're experiencing? For example, what steps are you taking while editing your page before the blocks disappear? Are you referring to the blocks that have been added to your page, or the Block Library?

A couple of general troubleshooting tips to try- make sure that all of your BoldGrid Plugins are up to date by visiting Dashboard -> Updates, and as always be sure to make regular backups of your website to ensure that you can revert to a working version if needed.


I hope this helps!

linking to google calendar

info 5 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 5 years ago 1

Site is baywoodcolonyvillas.com. The theme is Uptempo.

I was only able to link to my google calendure using my google email, not the URL that google provided to embed into a website.

Although the site links to the google calendar, there is a "pointer" icon above the actual calendar. How do I remove that icon?

How can I disable the sidebar for a template?

Rachmaninov 5 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 5 years ago 1

I've found that the the 'Default Page' and 'Home' templates have the sidebar disabled, and I know it's possible to do so for other pages, but I can't figure out what the code that inserts the sidebar actually evaluates. How can I make a new template in my child theme that has the sidebar disabled?
I'm looking for a way to do this server-side only. Not interested in a CSS solution; this shouldn't need to be solved with CSS or JS. Ideally, what's the config option? Header and footer have one, but  I couldn't find documentation for the sidebar config settings.

Answer

Hello, thank you for the excellent question, and I'm sorry that our Theme Framework documentation is indeed missing information about how to control the sidebar.

The BoldGrid Theme Framework enables the sidebar, except for the following conditions:

is_404()

is_search()

is_front_page()

is_page_template( 'default' ) 

is_page_template( 'page_home.php' )

If you'd like to disable the sidebar on other templates or conditionals, you can create a filter, either in your child theme's functions.php or using a code snippet. In the following example, I'll demonstrate a function that will disable the sidebar for the is_single() function as well as the custom template my_page_template.php:


function my_custom_theme_configs( $boldgrid_framework_configs ) {
  $boldgrid_framework_configs['template']['sidebar'][] = "is_single";
  $boldgrid_framework_configs['template']['sidebar'][] = "[my_page_template.php]is_page_template";

  return $boldgrid_framework_configs;
}
add_filter( 'boldgrid_theme_framework_config', 'my_custom_theme_configs');

I'll give a heads-up to our development team to create some better documentation for using the sidebar interface in the BoldGrid Theme Framework. I hope this helps!
