Hey so I contacted WooCommerce about our side bar customization, but they said that would be a theme issue.

I would like to clean up the sidebar. Right now it is hard to distinguish between the main categories and subcategories. Where would I handle this at? or is there a separate plugin I need for this?? I have viewed others that are using your theme and their sidebar menus look really nice…Please let me know how to handle this!

Also, on my footer, I am using the default company contact footer that came with the theme and changed it to my own company info. But the [share] buttons, I need to edit those so I can have them link to my social media pages, I can’t find this anywhere to edit. Where is that located??

Finally, I was working with WooCommerce with the side bar menu, and they mentioned that my PHP is out of date…when I contacted my hosting company, they ran tests on the compatibility on the site…but the revolution slider and visual composer are not compatible…How would I go about updating the PHP without effecting how my site is working now??

Thank!

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

1. Please clarify how you want to modify a sidebar.

2. To change social icons links, you need edit the file wp-content/themes/royal/framework/shortcodes.php (find the section “! Share This Product” in line 1964), to change links you need edit the code, for example for Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/share?url='.$permalink.'&text='.$post_title.'" class="'.$tooltip_class.'" title="'.__('Twitter', ETHEME_DOMAIN).'" target="_blank"> and replace https://twitter.com/share?url='.$permalink.'&text='.$post_title.' with a link to your Twitter account.

3. For our theme using it’s required PHP 5.3 or higher version. Currently you have 5.5.9 version and it’s applicable.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Side bar menu customization examples:

http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/elegant-accordion-menu

http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/modern-jquery-accordion-menu

http://cssmenumaker.com/menu/modern-accordion-menu

Something along these lines, just so it is easier to distinguish between main categories and sub categories.

I tried to add my social links in, didn’t work. But I may want to leave it this way, so our customers are able to share our company with friends and family. I am having a meeting with my owners to see if he likes it that way or direct links to our sites. May need additional help in a near future with linking those properly.

And that is unusual about the PHP. You guys and my hosting company says we are up to date with it, but WooCommerce is showing something completely different. Odd.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Yes, I was trying to add a code to the functions.php file and apparently I crashed my site!

But you can check out the site now. I just want to be able to distinguish between the main categories and the subcategories. The outline and design of the examples I gave above would be perfect to help distinguish the different categories and subcategories. Let me know what you think and if you have an suggestions!! Thanks

Hello,

Please use this css code:
```
.product-categories > li {
   background: linear-gradient(#565656 0%, #323232 100%);
   border: 1px solid #000 !important;
   border-radius: 4px;
}
.product-categories > li > a {
   color: #fff !important;
}
.product-categories.with-accordion ul.children {
   background-color: white !important;
}
.product-categories > li.current-cat {
    background: linear-gradient(#97be10 0%, #79980d 100%);
    color: #fff;
    text-shadow: 0 1px 1px #000;
    border: 1px solid #79980d;
    border-radius: 4px;
}
```

ok that is great!! you guys do really good work.

Is there a way to take this one step further? The main categories are black, then we have subcategories, but also sub-sub-categories….those seem to get lost when you expand the menu.

this one is the best example of that.

Let me know thanks!!

Hello,

Also, you can add this code:
```
.product-categories>li>a {
    padding-left: 15px;
}
```
You can change style of different elements if you have css skills.
Please, read article and watch the video: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/iterate/inspect-styles/

Do you happen to have a code that would allow the second level sub categories to not be shown on the drop down menu, maybe like pops out like a drop down menu but opens up to right of the menu??

Hello,

Sorry, but there are no such options in our theme and can be done through the additional code customization that is out of our support scope.
