Layouts plugin provides an easy way to integrate with your theme and utilize the power of Bootstrap grid from Layouts instead of the standard WordPress loop.
When you ask for help or report issues, make sure to give us some information about the theme you are trying to integrate and what you want to achieve.
Problem:
An older site is made with Layouts, Divi, and the Divi integration plugin, so that Layouts is being used to design the entire page and not just the content area. With Divi alone, if you have primary and secondary navigation menus, on small screens they are combined in a single hamburger menu, when trying to recreate this with Layouts you get two hamburger menus.
Solution:
It is not possible to recreate this with Layouts.
The client agreed the best option was to update the site to stop using the Divi integration plugin, so that Layouts only creates the post content area, and Divi generates the header (including the menus) and footer.
For example, if you have 3 layers of terms:
GrandParent
- Parent
-- Child
Each has several posts added to it, which you can display in a separate list, that you can reach starting on a Page where only "GrandParent" posts are shown and links to "Parent" and "Child".
To do that:
- create a View that queries your Taxonomy and set a filter as in:
"Select taxonomy terms whose parent is None."
- Add some post information to the loop, or any other data you want to display
- Add the View to any page and see in the front end only data about grand parent terms
- Now add a View which again queries the Taxonomy, this time has a Query filter as:
"Parent is the taxonomy selected by the parent Taxonomy View"
- Again complete the Loop with the information you want to display
- Now insert this View to the loop of the View you created first (and inserted to the page)
- Reload that page and see, that now you have a list of Grandparent Terms and a list of Parent Terms.
- Repeat these steps for the lowest "Child" terms and insert the View to the second created View.
This can be repeated for basically as many times you want.
It allows you to query the data depending on the currently looped content, and link to whatever related page/post/taxonomy term.
You would need to add there HTML and CSS yourself to group and style it like you show, but with the Toolset Views Loop Wizard you should already be able to cut a good part of that as well.
Problem: When I activate the Layouts plugin, I see the Relationship Form table take over the entire screen and I am unable to use wp-admin.
Solution: Be sure your server meets the minimum requirements for Toolset, especially the eval function and the mbstring extension. Download fresh copies of the plugins from your account downloads area, then delete the plugins from your server and install from clean downloads.
