Adding On:
Just noticed that no Category Top Descriptions came through.
Between those, menus, custom sidebars not importing, etc – this is at least one full week of work to transition, requiring a way to see both old and new sites. Anything that can be done to keep settings, event dates/times, place/event connections, etc from GT to GD would be greatly appreciated.
What template (name) do regular posts and pages use? How do we get a top section and sidebar on them? Thanks.
OK great. I think one option for the equivalent of a div is just to add the code in all the ‘top” widgets. That will cover the whole site, correct?
But still, breadcrumbs on every page is important to (I think, any) site.
OK. So I’m clear. I’m trying to do as little customization as possible, but still keep the required site functionality.
What pages/templates have breadcrumbs by default? Is it just the event/place pages?
Have the breadcrumbs been coded with schema structred data?
What I’m trying to do is not about the breadcrumbs (though I do want them on every page), but rather, have some functionality under the menu on every single page of the site. I thought using the breadcrumb div would be best way to do this. But, if not, what is the cleanest way to get specific code under the main menu on every page/template?
Thanks,
Wait sorry…I just realized breadcrumbs aren’t on any posts/pages. From where do we control breadcrumbs to start with…and then where is that div?
Yes, that worked great! Thank you.
Now, where is the div with the breadcrumbs? I need to add something to that same line. In my old theme, I added a new div with a separate row, but I think in this theme, I can add things to the right of the breadcrumbs. But I’m still working through what’s controlled by the theme and the plugin templates.
Thanks!
Thanks. Please keep in mind that for those of us with active sites, this conversion is days of work. Each time we start over there is process of cloning the current site (because new listings submitted, posts published/updated, etc), adding the plugins and themes, customizing the widgets, permalinks, etc. Child theme CSS is really the only thing that can moved via FTP.
So ideally, keeping the dev time as short as possible (maintaining old and new sites simultaneously) is important. Thanks.
Thanks for researching. Obviously part of the conversion tool would have to include event dates and place/event connections.
#7) I still don’t understand where the Share/FB/Tweet buttons on the right here:
http://wpgeo.directory/starter/events/united-states/new-york/new-york/events/festival-concert-and-fireworks/?gde=2016-01-09The first two right column widgets. They seem to be in the template rather than in widgets?
I set up a clone site yesterday and went through the tutorial. Here are the issues I have so far:
1) Events and Places that were in menus are no longer valid. They show up in red as invalid. I can see the events and places are listed in the right categories. Do we have to recreate all our menus?
2) Places and Events are no longer connected (ie, an event at a museum). The place doesn’t show the upcoming events and the event doesn’t show the place as the venue
3) Recurring Events – Custom recursion lists only the first date in the sidebar (some of which are already passed). No other dates are showing. Simple start and end dates seem to work, but systematic or custom recusion made it through the conversion
4) How/where does one log in or submit an event place? Nothing happens when I click on Upgrade Listing or My favorites or anything else (I am on a staging server) but I need to know the hard link to the login screen anyway
5) Are there custom php templates for the starter directory? Or is every single page/post/event/place, both detail and listing on single.php? Where is the coding for the Share/AddThis functionality?
6) The top search bar has disappeared: http://wpgeo.directory/starter/ (popular categories and search underneath). I’ve hardly made any changes at all to the theme except through the customizer, megamenu and played with a few widgets. Haven’t touched the theme out of admin. What widget or option would have made the search function disappear?
7) Is there documentation on the widgets? With screenshots of the different widget areas?
8) How do we keep the permalinks identical to our GT set up? I don’t want to change all my URLs so locations are added to the slugs?So these are the issues I noticed right away…haven’t dug any deeper yet.
Thanks,
