custom html not persisting

matstev2 4 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 4 years ago 1

When I try to wrap a div with a link <a href="link-name"></a> the code dissapears and usually messes up the layout of my page. How can I add custom html to my pages without issues like this?

Answer

Hello-

When you add custom HTML in WordPress, it has to pass through validation to make sure that the HTML is correct. WordPress does this to try and correct any errors you may have accidentally made, like forgetting to close a tag.

Using a <div> element as the anchor for a link doesn't pass validation because <a> tags have to use an "inline" element for the anchor. I did some searching on how to resolve this and it seems like you're not alone. This developer solved the issue with JavaScript, while others have found more solutions. Some of these solutions won't solve the issue, however, because WordPress will still strip out the "invalid" HTML when you save your content or switch between the Visual and HTML editor.

I think the best solution I found while researching this can be found in this code example on CodePen, as it uses only valid HTML and CSS (please note, I didn't write that CodePen so please forgive me for the sample text in that example). 

I hope this allows you to solve the issue, please let us know if you have any more questions.

Instagram is showing, but there are no other options to add (i.e. LinkedIn). Where can I find these options? They do not show anywhere.

Upgraded my site to network, now unable to select DreamObjects as additional back up site,

cleve 4 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 4 years ago 1

I recently upgraded a site at DreamHost to a multisite network .My sub-directories do not accept the premium key and now my main site allows me to configure backup storage at DreamObjects but will not select the check box. Previous back-ups still show in the dashboard.

Answer

Hello Cleve,

At the current time, Total Upkeep doesn't work very well with WordPress Multisite (network).

Check out this discussion on the WordPress Forums where our lead developer talks about how we're looking to include this in the near future.

I can login on my phone but not my laptop

info 4 years ago in General WordPress updated by support (Support) 4 years ago 1

Hi there,

I can login to my wordpress site via my android phone with chrome but not with an apple laptop running chrome. I've cleared cookies, cache, dns information and restarted the machine. The page just resets back to the login page with no error message. Is there anything else that could be a problem.

How do I remove the "Built by BoldGrid" Attribution? I don't see the option to "hide BoldGrid" for the Crio theme

rogersohn 4 years ago in Crio updated by support (Support) 4 years ago 1

So I have a premium key and I was trying to remove the "Built by BoldGrid Attribution", but I can't seem to find the option in the footer design area to remove or hide it.  I see the option to hide Wordpress, and credits, and etc, but not for BoldGrid.  Any ideas, or did they remove this capability?

Sub Pages

Mr G 4 years ago in Themes updated by support (Support) 4 years ago 1

I am new to Bold Grid (forced to use it with Dreamhost) but have used Word Press for years. I cannot seem to be able to create a sub page in Bold Grid. And yes the theme I am using did support subpages ( was a part of the preview) yet when I try to create a sub page in Bold Grid does not happen. I want subpages and I am sure Bold Grid should support it, all webpages tend to have them

In creating a Zapier integration to create a new post in a WordPress site, I was receiving an XML-RPC error. I began deactivating plugins and found that W3 Total Cache was the culprit. I looked for a setting to toggle but could not identify one. Anyone else run into this?

How can I create a category template page?

Oranges13 4 years ago updated by Jesse Owens (Community Manager) 4 years ago 1

I am working within Haven theme and would like several categories to have custom templates. I am able to create a template `categories-annnouncements.php` for example, but is there a base template that I need to copy in order to get this to work inside Haven or the Bold Grid framework?

My desire is to have a different sidebar on the Announcements page than on the default wordpress category page.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Answer

Hello-

I can think of a couple of ways to accomplish this. Probably the easiest way would be to use a plugin like Widget Logic and test for is_archive() && is_category('announcements'). You can use this to determine which sidebar widgets show up based on the logic you need.

That said- if you do want to create a new template in a child theme of Haven you should check out base.php, and use the wrappers you see there. You can also make a file called archive.php, which will be used on category pages and you don't need to use a wrapper for it to work.
