WP theme 305 masthead disappears

markh · 2014-09-04 21:07:24

Hate to start whining right away in the morning, but... I FTP'd the new version of WP theme without really changing anything in the Lightroom module. Mostly just wanted to see the new stuff. Masthead is gone and navigation is pushed to two lines. SO I tried checking the orphan checkbox for masthead and navigation. No change. Masthead is still set to banner as before. Next I unchecked orphan in masthead and navigation and changed identity to profile, which put the masthead back on top but off centered and still left navigation on 2 lines. Blog is a subdomain. It does not share with TTG pages which I haven't updated yet. Thoughts?

actually, I do have a thought
Make sure you have something in the Heading field (under Identity) as well.

markh · 2014-09-04 21:56:41

Won't help. I backtracked to version 304 which is running now. Gimme 20-30 minutes to reinstall 305 and FTP the new stuff then its: http://blog.photophart.com

I'll need to see something online. Let us know when you're running 3.0.5 again. I'll be online for the next little while, so will check into the forum periodically.

markh · 2014-09-04 22:10:14

305 is up. Heading is gone. Nav on 2 lines. Of note, in lightroom under site info, version still says 304. That a problem?

version number isn't a problem

Matt,
I'm seeing something similar on my test site:
http://ce4.barbeephoto.com/blog/

Graphic Identity Plate is not showing. Plus there's Integrated Identity within the nav bar

<ul id="nav">
        <li id="integrated-identity" class="ip-true">

I've got the Identity Plate Role set to Banner

Matthew · 2014-09-04 23:11:27

Rod, in your case I think the Integrated stuff is there because that's what's in your PHPlugins function.

rod barbee · 2014-09-04 23:11:49

D'oh

forgot I did that

Mark, in your case, did you go into the Theme Options after updating your theme?

Make sure you have an identity plate graphic assigned in Theme Options.

Then visit the Menus area of the WP Dashboard and make sure your menu is assigned to the Site-navigation location.

Please let me know whether the problem persists after taking these steps.

Or are you using PHPlugins rather than WordPress to manage the menu?

rod barbee · 2014-09-04 23:24:13

I've disable phplugins for the blog.

In Lightroom, the identity plate masthead graphic disappears if I've not filled in the Heading field under Identity. I'm just using the styled text identity plate in Lightroom.

On the site it doesn't seem to matter if I've put anything in that field, the identity plate isn't appearing regardless.

markh · 2014-09-04 23:25:41

Adding the Identity plate in Theme options brought back the masthead. As for how to add the "site-navigation location" to the theme options, menu area, I'm at a loss. WP and I are still getting to know each other and she's, well, complex.

Matthew · 2014-09-04 23:30:02

In the WP Dashboard, under Appearance > Menus, select the menu you want to use, then scroll down to Menu Settings and check the "Site Navigation" checkbox for Theme Locations.

markh · 2014-09-04 23:30:10

Addendum: I am using phplugins for navigation.

Matthew · 2014-09-04 23:31:18

I'm seeing the masthead on your single-post pages, but not on the main blog page ...

markh · 2014-09-04 23:38:49

From within WP admin the masthead is there. In a different browser I see what you see: no masthead on main page. There are no menus listed where you suggest I look, possibly because I'm using phplugins for nav?

rod barbee · 2014-09-04 23:51:35

I think that your navigation is on two lines because the items are not <li> or <span> items like they are in the phplugins file.
They're "a" elements, which are set to display:block

If you want them side by side, try editing your phplugins navigation to make them <span> elements (or <li> if using dropdown navigation) as shown in the phplugins file:

<!-- EDIT ONLY BELOW THIS LINE : -->

            <span><a href="/">Home</a></span>
            <span><a href="/galleries.php">Galleries</a></span>
            <span><a href="/blog/">Blog</a></span>
            <span><a href="/services.php">Services</a></span>
            <span><a href="/info.php">Info</a></span>
            <span><a href="/about.php">About</a></span>
            <span><a href="/contact.php">Contact</a></span>

        <!-- EDIT ONLY ABOVE THIS LINE -->

Matthew · 2014-09-05 00:02:19

I think Rod has nailed it. I've just run a bunch of new test themes on CampagnaPictures, and I'm not able to reproduce the problems you're seeing. My navigation is always good, and my masthead too.

The problem with your front page is that the <style /> element in the header isn't showing up; it is showing up on every other page. The thing is, all pages draw from the same header.php file. If you have a logo graphic specified in Theme Options, then it should be there. Unless you've messed with the index.php file, the header.php file or you've done something weird with PHPlugins to remove it ...

markh · 2014-09-05 00:34:15

Have not edited either php file and phplugins only modifies nav and footer.

Matthew · 2014-09-05 00:52:00

I'm going to need FTP access to your server to tell anything else. There's no fathomable reason that the masthead shouldn't be showing up on the front page. Like I said, all using the same header.php file.

markh · 2014-09-05 00:53:15

For what its worth, I've backtracked to version 304. Masthead is back where it should be, nav is back to a single line and that's with no changes to anything. Think I'll hang there.

Matthew · 2014-09-05 00:54:56

Well I'd prefer you didn't. I'd like to find what's causing the problem and make sure it's not something that's going to A) affect other people, or B) persist into future versions, if it is a problem with the plugin.

Matthew · 2014-09-05 00:59:13

Alternatively, you could zip up your 3.0.5 theme and email it to me. I can mess with it in my own space then.

rod barbee · 2014-09-05 01:41:55

Matt,

I reverted to 3.0.4 and the identity plate reappeared. I've since gone back to 3.0.5, with the identity plate missing, and I'll leave it up in case you want to play with it.

It should look like this:
