Problem: I would like to customize some aspects of the Toolset Starter Theme, including the menu style.
Solution: You can write any custom CSS you would like to override the Toolset Starter Theme's styles. You can also go to Appearance > Customize > Advanced Settings to disable the theme's CSS. Then you can add any CSS overrides in Toolset > Layouts CSS, or to a child theme's style.css file. To remove the background color from the main menu and make the link text red, you can do something like this:
.navbar-default, body .ddl-navbar-default {
background: none;
}
.ddl-navbar-nav > li > a {
color: red;
}
If you are starting a custom theme, I do not recommend basing it on Toolset Starter Theme. This theme is being deprecated and should not be used as anything but a reference.
Problem: I'm having problems with the Toolset beta plugins. When I update I see the error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or $".
Solution: Update to the latest Release Candidate plugins. There was a problem with PHP 5.3 that has been resolved.
Problem: I would like to show the post excerpt if it is not empty, otherwise show the full post content.
Solution:
The wpv-post-excerpt shortcode utilizes WordPress's the_excerpt function to display a post excerpt. This means that you cannot expect wpv-post-excerpt to be empty if the post contains any content. Instead, you could add this custom shortcode to your child theme's functions.php file:
add_shortcode('wpv-post-real-excerpt', 'real_excerpt_shortcode');
function real_excerpt_shortcode() {
global $post;
return $post->post_excerpt;
}
Go to Toolset > Settings > Frontend Content and enter "wpv-post-real-excerpt" in the 3rd party shortcodes area. Then you should be able to test the excerpt like this:
