Questions about theme update

Hi,

I have 4.6.0 version of your theme installed on my site currently with WordPress 5.4.2 and I would like to ask you something before proceeding with the updates.

1) Would you recommend me to update firstly your theme to the latest version 5.2.0 and afterwards WordPress core to 5.5.1? Or the opposite? Which is more recommended from your side?

Let me inform your that all of my rest plugins are already updated to the latest versions except WooCommerce (I have 4.3.1. version currently) and WPBakery Page Builder (I have 6.1 version).

2) After reading your migration guide https://xtemos.com/docs/woodmart/faq-guides/4-x-5-0-elementor-migration-guide/, you mention to turn off all optimizations / cache plugins and switch to parent theme if I am running a child theme before updating WoodMart theme. Is it totally necessary?

On my case I use child theme and the below caching plugins:

1) Redis Object Cache
2) WP Rocket

I am asking this because the e-shop is online and I would like to avoid any possible interruptions during theme update.

Won’t theme update work you think directly with “Automatic Update” process via WP Dashboard without having to turn off the above two plugins and the child theme?

Thank you in advance,
Dimitris

Hello,

You can update WordPress or our theme before or after that doesn’t matter when you are trying to update.

Please make sure that you have taken the complete backup of the website before executing any update that is highly recommended.

The steps mentioned in our documentation are necessary to execute if you are trying to migrate from 4.0 versions to 5.0.

Ok thank you for the information.

I have one more question please, only on contact page where I have a contact form created with CF7 plugin, I get at the bottom of the page the div below:

<div class=”wpcf7-response-output” role=”alert” aria-hidden=”true”></div>

For the moment I can hide it via the below CSS snippet:

.notifications-sticky div.wpcf7-response-output {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}

Is this maybe a bug of this theme version?

Hello,

You are Most Welcome.

I saw the screenshots you attached. It is a bug with the latest version of the contact form7 with our theme version 4.6. The contact form7 notifications are without the background-color that’s why they are displayed like this.

Please update the theme to the latest version this will fix the issue.

I finally updated theme version and WP core without any issues on a staging environment just to be sure. The CF7 issue seems to be fixed.

I only noticed the changes below:

1) My add to cart icon was changed everywhere on site except of my header. As I see, you maybe changed \f120 icon to \f126 right?

2) I have on my Newsletter the below CSS snippet on my Custom CSS:

.mc4wp-form p:last-child label {
	display: inline-block;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 577px){
.mc4wp-form>div>p:nth-child(2) {
  margin-left:-40px;
}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 1025px){
.mc4wp-form>div>p {
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 0px;
}
}

Please check my screenshots 1 & 2 before and after the theme update to see the difference on my newsletter “subscribe button” appearance on desktop and mobile appearance.

3) Did you change at the latest theme version any classes or the default height of footer? My Social Media icons are appeared a bit cut on small screen sizes. Please check my screenshot 3.

Hello,

1) We are glad that one of your issues is fixed.

I have tried to visit your website and was unable to visit even if I have used the proxy. Please make sure that your website is working to check it and help you out accordingly.

Best Regards.

Could you please try again?

It seems to load normally on my end after checking it at different computers.

Hello,

I have visited your website.

Your website is loading from the cache and the icon and the button is overridden. Please delete the cache folder from “wp-content” and deactivate the cache plugin and check back.

And the social icons displayed fine on my end.

Hi,

I think you didn’t understand my questions.

1) The cart icon is shown overridden because I have changed it at my Custom CSS after theme update as below:

.cart-empty:before {
	content: "\f126";
}

.cart-widget-side .widget_shopping_cart .empty:before {
  content: "\f126";
}

.quick-shop-wrapper .single_add_to_cart_button:before {
	content: "\f126";
}

.wd-action-btn.wd-add-cart-btn>a:before {
  content: "\f126";
}

Before theme update I had the same icon with \f120 but I changed it in order to have the same icon. That’s why I asked you if you changed it.

2) The social icons are also displayed fine on my end (while viewing site on desktop). The issue takes place at smaller screen sizes, please try to load site on a mobile or tablet device to check what I mean (please also check my new screenshots attached, 4 & 5).

3) Did you notice the difference on my newsletter “subscribe button” appearance on desktop and mobile appearance after theme update like I showed at my previous screenshots?

3) I finally fixed the newsletter “subscribe button” appearance by adding the below extra CSS snippet:

@media only screen and (min-width: 1199px){
.mc4wp-form>div>p:nth-child(2) {
  margin-left:-40px;
}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 577px){
.mc4wp-form>div>p:nth-child(2) {
  margin-left:-40px;
}
}

2) I fixed the issue by removing the “-40px” margin that I had at my first row of my footer.
Check my screenshot 6.

Waiting for your further reply on my above question 1.

Hello,

We are Glad that you solved your issues yourself. You are Great!!!

The icon content is changed in the latest version of the theme that’s why it is displaying the content “\f126“.
