1, sidebars ) The sidebar width is now 32% and in the previous version it appears to have been at 27%. I think the only way to alter this would be by changing some of the CSS that’s controlling this (and also the one controlling the size of the main content area).

2, white bar ) I don’t quite know where that might be coming from.. I must say I’m not getting that myself. Have you got any plugins installed? also, is this only in the front-end?

3, Excerpts ) That’s strange…. While investigating the issue i noticed our demo website is actually doing the exact opposite of this. We’ve got “full text” selected and yet it’s showing excerpts. I’ve requested for our developers to look into this.

4, BB-press footer) I see the page you linked to is no longer there, i went to tavern-> forums and did notice the footer appearing there. Has this been resolved or are you still having trouble here?

5, Load-Time) I don’t see how that could be a mikmag 2.0 thing, the reason for this is that the mikmag code has had an thorough cleanup in this update. It should actually be faster than the old version. We’re not having any speed issues ourselves, neither have any of our beta testers reported to… I think it should have some other cause.

As for the beta tester team, I’m afraid I’m not the one who’s responsible for the team selection. I do very much appreciate your willingness to help.

Kind regards,

Kevin

It would be nice to know how to change the dimensions back.  I am among those who really love the Mikmag design, but at the same time find it frustrating that something as significant as dimension changes to the sidebar and content area are done without giving an option to resize them back.

Your customers have already designed their content to fit the dimensions, now everything is going to align poorly, look awful and the response seems to be: well it’s in there somewhere.

1. It appears that you’ll need to change more than only the sidebar width. Also the content width and perhaps things might also differ when using multiple sidebars or left/right sidebars and things like that. It might just not be as simple as that.

I will check with the developers on why they decided to change this and see if we can find a way to help you with this one

2. I just noticed this turning up on one of our test sites as well. sent it through to the developers to check out

6. I’m afraid I cannot guarantee that this one will be solved. The thing is that with all the existing plugins it’s impossible for us to make sure our theme works perfectly with all of them. For this reason we don’t guarantee full compatibility with all plugins.

Kevin,

G’Day again.

You can add my confirmation re Item 2 that Puru has been reporting.  When I’m logged in to the site the white bar appears, but when the site is view normally it doesn’t appear.

I’ll be interested to hear what your developer says as I’m starting to use the theme to build out a site for an international sports group that will be a membership site, so many will be logging in and naturally don’t want that white bar to appear.

Cheers,

Michael.

Hi Puru (and Michael, for one of the questions)

I just got word from our developer that the white bar issue has been fixed so that one will be gone with the next issue.

On this sidebar issue, I got the answer that these new dimensions are there because of the new grid we’re using on the new framework we’ve built for this theme. Changing these dimensions would cause problems displaying the website on different devices and different sizes.

I understand your point. I’ll be notifying our developers about the issue but cannot promise anything, it will be up to them to decide what to do when they get to another update. The big problem is that getting a theme like mikmag compatible with some major plugins (woocommerce, bb-press/buddypress) has already proven to be an incredible task. Even though the issues with this plugin appear quite minor, there’s still a whole lot of other plugins around so you can guess what would happen when we start making exceptions….

Kevin

Hi Puru,

I do understand your concern for the sidebar width but as this was something implemented with the new framework and grid I don’t quite see a lot of possibility where we would get back on that..

I’ve indeed passed on point 7 to our developers team as a bug that would require fixing. That one should get solved.

Kevin

Hi Puru,

I’m afraid I don’t see any differences (safari and chrome on Windows7 machine). did you manage to solve the issue, or is there still something happening for you?

Kevin

First thank you for the update finally come!

I have the same problem about my blog : http://www.fotup.com/wp/blog-2/ – it doesn’t show excerpts.

Any idea about it? this is really awful to see!

Thank you

Hi Kevin,

I also have a problem since I did the upgrade. I have some Layered Sliders with the in out move effects set to Linear and the in out transitions set to Fade. I have noticed that my photos jump now and even though I have played around with different effects nothing seems to change. Example: http://www.speegra.com/category/artists/

Any ideas how I can get back to the smooth transition effect that I had before?

Jane

Hi Jane,

Do you mean the way they slide out to the top left corner and in from the top right a little bit? Or is there something else happening that I’m missing? Perhaps on a specific slide?

Kevin

Yes Kevin That’s it. Before they were smooth like the Royal Slider I’ve temporarily put on the home page

http://www.speegra.com/

But now they are all jerky.

Jane

Hi Jane, could you share a screenshot of your slider’s setup? I’d like to recreate the slider on my test page.

Kevin

Sure Kevin. Here’s the setting with the first photo. Al the other photos have the same settings.

Jane

Kevin,  also:

We’re having a couple of problems with the Tabbed Area Widget.

We’re using the Tabbed Area Widget with WooCommerce Layered Nav to give visitors a compact way to narrow their selection.

One problem is that when the list of shop items is shorter than the list of possible choices in a WooCommerce Layered Nav, the web page is too short to show whole Tabbed Area Widget, and some of its content extends over the page footer.

The other problem is that the contents of the WooCommerce Layered Navs (lists of product attributes) are sometimes correct and sometimes not. Making selection and choosing different tabs in the Tabbed Area Widget results in unpredictable and unexpected lists of product attributes.

You’re welcome to try this for yourself at http://speegra.com/shop

Jane

Hi Jane,

I can’t quite manage to recreate that slider. Could you grant me admin access to your website so I can take a look at it right on the spot?

If you wish me to take a look you can send me details via e-mail to kevin(a)theme-dutch.com

—-

I see what you mean with the tabbed navigation and I’ll inform our developers about it so they can take a look at fixing that.

|About the last part, sometimes correct and sometimes not, you mean that somtimes there are actually things in the lists that do not belong there? Or do you mean the fact that the lists sometimes do and sometimes do not display properly (which I found was happening as I was playing around with them on your website).

Hi Jane,

I went to check your sliders but haven’t quite found what’s causing it. I’m now checking with our developers to see what they can say about this.

Kevin

OK, so you don’t advise to change the width of the sidebar back to what it was before.

But can you show me where the change the width of the sidebar in the Nivo slider? As now my caption text is completely out of alignment with the rest of the sidebar below it.

See screenshot attached. Site: http://www.voxharmony.org.au

Never mind – found it:

.nivo-caption {
width: 31.9%!important;
}
