    Any luck with the plugin updates to ensure the site will be secure? you said approx two weeks. I have a client waiting for the site to go live, and we simply can’t have an e-commerce site go live with out-of-date plugins which Themeforest tell us are not secure and vulnerable to attack.

    …so to follow-up on the above I sent earlier.

    I have now deleted the two plugins you sent me via email and installed the two that came with Classico v1.3, and the site is working again now.

    Unfortunately, the site is now not secure as a result of installing outdated plugins. We were warned by Themeforest to update.

    Please answer questions relating to when you expect this issue to be resolved, as the site simply cannot go live until then.

    I’m seriously considering cutting my losses, getting a refund and buying an E-commerce theme that is fully updated. Have had no issues with Magento themes to date.

    Eva Kemp.

    I have re-downloaded the original Classico v1.3 files and uploaded everything overwriting the directories on the server. The site still doesn’t work.

    The only thing different from when the site worked was the change in Visual Composer and Ultimate Addons versions from what came with Classico 1.3. Note, you sent me versions via email that may not have been the versions that came with Classico 1.3. I specifically asked if you had tested these versions, but you did not respond??

    I can try deleting the plugins you sent and reinstalling the versions that shipped with Classico v1.3, but this would leave the site insecure as per the Email ThemeForest sent us.

    This is not on for an E-commerce site. 8Theme need to sort this issue out please, otherwise why have we paid for a theme that is not secure and won’t work with the latest plugins required to make the theme work. I feel like I’ve been sent on a wild goose chase trying versions of the plugin, and at the very least, 8Theme should be testing what works and informing customers with which plugins work and do not work. Your download page clearly provides us with what doesn’t work, and when I ask questions about that, the questions are avoided.

    When will this be fixed? I have a client that us emailing me every day about the progress on their site, and all I can do is twiddle my thumbs waiting for a trickle of support emails whilst watching this thread being hijacked by people posting with different issues.

    Sorry for the rant, but over a week gone by with no solution.

    No FTP access is not restricted unless you kept inputting the wrong information multiple times, your IP may have been locked out.

    I myself used copy and paste with the information I provided you and was able to connect with FileZilla no problem.

    Try connecting from a different IP address and using copy and paste. If you do not have a different IP address, provide me with yours so I can remove it from the IP blacklist on the servers’ firewall.

    Please do not publish the IP of the development server. DELETE IT PLEASE!!! I now have top change the user login as a result of you publishing information I provided to you privately.

    This is not how I expect support to act by making private details public.

    I sent the credentials twice, the second set of credentials works. Please recheck. Make sure you change the port number to the one provided otherwise the standard port will fail.

    Try second set of FTP credentials I sent, i double checked and it works, you are missing something out like the port number, or not setting the correct SFTP protocol provided.

    Thanks. I have deleted the Ultimate VC Addons plugin and rolled back to the one you sent me.

    The site is still not working. Well, the front page is still not loading below the slideshow, however, now other pages like “About Us” are now loading OK.

    I have also noticed that when editing the Home page, visual composer is not functioning now, and i can only see the page in text form. Whatever you sent me has broken visual composer completely it seems.

    Its like the site is only loading the top section of every page. Is there a fault with the custom file “vc_basic_grid.php” that you previously sent me? This is the only other change I made since the site was last working.

    Also can you confirm that the two versions of the plugins you sent me work correctly on your end?

    I have rolled back Visual Composer to 4.7.3.

    My site is still not functioning. Should I also roll back Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer? The current version installed is the latest, Version 3.13.7. Please send previous known working version of this file?

    At the moment, when viewing pages nothing is shown below the header of pages of below the slideshow on the front page.

    Thanks for your reply. You stated

    "The problem is caused by new version of Visual Composer editor.
    We recommend you to revert back to previous plugin version until we release theme update"

    Well, I no longer have the previous release of the plugin for Visual Composer. Do you have a link to that somewhere for me? 8Theme’s support download page only has the latest version, which you put up for us to download. Why put it up if its not going to work? Why not have a link to the previous known working version also on your site? (the version that came with Classico v1.3 is several versions back and we are advised by ThemeForest not to have it installed any more for security reasons).

    Exactly when is this issue going to be resolved please?

    … following on from my above post…

    In addition to nothing loading on the Home page below the slideshow, also nothing is loading on other pages below the header area.

    I have noticed that in the pre-footer area, the demo (and my site) uses Footer Variant 1. In this, it uses the element “Woo Product List” which is also deprecated. I disabled this loading by deselecting it from Appearance -> Widgets -> Pre Footer Area ->

    It did not solve the problem?

    I need to know what other possible elements from your demo content that are causing the problem?

    If your clients import your demo, then we should expect it to work as described. I simply don’t believe that the site is not displaying anything under the header area simply because of deprecated elements. There is another issue since the plugin updates I mentioned.

    Please help???

    Hi

    I assume that you are referring to the tabs with the following headings: “Featured Products, Popular Products, New, Arrivales, Last Minute”?

    I have updated the front page. i deleted the tabs row. I then added a new row to replace it, and added the new tabs element and configured each one to look like the demo. When i now click “edit” on the tabs element, I no longer see the error message “you are using an outdated element”. Since this has now gone, I expected the site to now correctly work after refresh, but still nothing is being displayed beneath the Slideshow and admin menu bar is not being displayed when viewing any page on the site.

    Are there any other deprecated elements I should be aware of? Please kindly take a look again and help resolve this?

    They are exactly the same credentials I provided last time on another thread which worked for you.

    I have just checked myself, and the WordPress login works as I provided it. I used copy & paste from the above. You need to use copy & paste too.

    Please note that the admin username is two words with a space in. You may have only been typing the first word, which is not what was intended. After checking myself, I can confirm the mistake is your side.

    Also note that the WordPress login uses a Google Captcha, so please do not ignore this either.

    Thanks very much. The Woocommemerce display setting worked very well, and the images are all the correct proportions now, looks much better indeed.

    There is still a problem with parallax images behind the testimonials not always displaying. There seems to be an issue after plugin updates I think. Have you had anyone else mention this problem? I feel that Visual Composer seems to be broken. Bearing in mind that this was a fresh install. The Parallax image loads sometimes after a refresh.

    With regards to the custom css to change the text on the testimonials. This will help me change the font settings myself in future. Please can you also kindly help me to remove the box surrounding the text? and also allow me to vary the width the text is within? The box is not necessary and clashes with the image background to be honest. I hope in future that your developers can ensure that the testimonials can be tweaked more easily, as its far too rigid. See the example theme I mentioned in the private section above for an example of how its implemented well with Visual Composer.

    Hi

    I created a copy of your demo site on the URL I provided. For some reason, the site needs to be refreshed sometimes for both the testemonials and the blog section on the home page to show up. I have no idea why this happens, but only happens on this demo install I did for you.

    So please refresh the home page a couple of times and the testemonials will show.

    (note, I am using Cloudflare, so this may have an effect, or maybe is the updates to your own plugins)

    In addition to the testimonials’ styling, please also refer to my previous post regarding image size on the home page not looking like the demo (see below)

    As mentioned in previous post above, images on the Home Page that are supposed to be resolution 555×760 are being resized to 300×300. This includes product categories, and farther up the page, where is says Featured Products, Popular Products, New Arrivals and Last Minute. All of these have been resized to 300×300 thumbnails and are not displayed as their original sizes. VERY ANNOYING, LOL.

    Hello

    Sorry for the delay. The site whilst in development is offline. What I have done is to create an online, htacess password protected version of the default demo install (variant 1) with slight alterations to the demo including pro-footer and footer area’s added. Also in the parallax section of the Home Page, I have added the Testimonials widget. Testimonials are working, but the styling is awful. (see private content of this reply for WP admin login details as requested).

    I would like to be able to change the following:-

    • font
    • font colour
    • size
    • font has white background, this is not changeable, I need it to be transparent
    • no options for navigation. Just appears as radio buttons, not suitable, maybe needs navigation arrows

    I have used the Visual Composer plugin with other themes, and on those these, its very easy to change the above I have mentioned. I won’t mention the competitor themes here, but I’ll mention in the private section of this post for you to see what I mean.

    Please, contact administrator

    I noticed on the Classico Variant 1 demo site, that you still have the section “LATEST FROM THE BLOG” working OK. This is not working after the Visual Composer update for us though.

    Is it advisable to roll-back to an earlier version of Visual Composer until you have a fix? I ask this because ThemeForest’s email suggests we update for security reasons.

    Hello

    Same problem as OP.

    I’m using Classico v1.3. After a warning email from Themeforest asking us to update Visual Composer, I have just updated to Version 4.7.4 (downloaded from this site). Now the blog posts showing up on the front page are no longer displayed.

    Please fix?

    The testimonials widget started working again for me after an upgrade to Classico v1.3.

    However, when I’m using it with a background image behind the testimonials text, the text shows up with a white background over the image. I don’t want that. The styling is not suitable for my needs.

    I also want to be able to change the font, colour and size. How can I alter the testimonial widget text?

    I need some advice how to alter the appearance please? Where to start?

    Hello Eva

    Sorry, but I can;t seem to find Punch Fonts section. I can only see “General, Styling, Typography, Ecommerce, Blog & Portfolio, Import/Export”. I Can’t see Punch Fonts section. I would have expected to see something in the Typography section, but can’t.

    please can you be a little more specific?

    In my honest optinion, in this case, I think 8Theme has added a level of complexity that was not necessary, making it more difficult to alter the theme for ourselves. Please consider this in future.
