Hi @colin.schwebke . I suggest you create a new issue "Bottom Tabs" and include the screenshot of what you would like it to look like. This issue is general image clean-up. It won't extend to an enhancement of the current tabs theme feature.
Hello Crowd,
i´ve updated my Wordpress installation to the last version, now my thumbnails are broken down as well...
I tried to understand the described solution, but i failed. Can anyone help me to understand, which steps i have to go to fix the thumbnail issue?
Furthermore i would like to get in touch with TomBerlin, maybe we can help each other to fix certain issues in german...
Regards Colin
I hear your pain. The reality, though, is that neither I nor any other theme vendor can cost-effectively debug every user's website where they customise it themselves, contract someone to customise it, or add plug-ins to customise it. Whoever is contracted to do the customisation MUST be the one to debug the problem. Especially when you pay them to do the customisation as in this case with a paid plug-in. I work on these themes for free so there is not a lot of motivation to spend more of my free time fixing a bug in a plug-in especially where the plug-in developer was paid.
As you suggested I will close this issue since the theme is provably capable of presenting a static home page with a blog and side-bar.
I would suggest you create a new enhancement issue for bottom tabs. One of our members might be in a position to provide the enhancement or you could get your money back from your plug-in supplier and contract someone on Freelancer.com to create the custom code you require.
please let me explain the situation: i need bottom tabs. the bottom tabs i installed via plugin are working only on the front page, if the frontage is static. if i change to static homepage, the blog page brakes down. if i change the setting to the recommended one, the blog page works fine, but my bottom tabs plugin breaks down.
conclusion: the tab programmer doesn't answer to any issue. so the plugin is dead for my needs. I have to set all to zero and think about the problem again. under this point of view it is completely uninteresting, if the static page works with my blog page. It will not help to solve the problem i am waiting for 5 months.
Please understand me the right way: it is not your fault, it is basically a problem of the damn plugin, which does not work the way it should and my inability to code a solution on my own.
thatswhy i think, it´s better for all of us to close the issue. maybe you can find a clean solution for changing to a static front page in one of your next updates. But i guess it´s a minor useful point in your bullet list.
Regards Colin
I have to use a static front page, because of styling issues. The BST Theme works good so far, but the blog page breaks down, when i use this setting. In detail: the sidebar with all widgets is at the bottom of the page.
To illustrate the hole problem i created a screenshot, which is attached.
I checked all but and wp settings. Everything is fine. So it is a framework problem of bst aka msmw.
This is not a bug in the software. It is a WordPress design mess and is confusing...but it is not a bug.
The confusion lies in the decision by the original theme designers not to implement front-page.php when it was introduced in WP3.0. Rather, they remained with the original home.php page which is the default if no front-page.php exists.
So when "Front Page" is set in the customizer or Reading Settings page to "Your latest posts " or "A static page" they are both rendered by home.php. Normally a page is rendered by page.php but in this case it is rendered by home.php. So the configuration gets a bit confusing.
So this issue report is really asking "Which settings provide a static home page with a default blog with a sidebar". The configuration is as follows:
NOTE: Home page settings don't matter...all the style and content settings are overridden by the theme Homepage settings page.
That should do the job...simple!!!
I have created and enhancement issue #19 to look at simplifying the configuration settings to hide the complexity from the admin user interface.
Colin...I need you to answer the questions I asked and keep seperate issues for seperate problems / enhancement requests If you do not want to approach this in a methodical fashion I can't help.
i rebuild it successfully the way you recommended with a fresh Wordpress installation. The problem is, when i try to copy the setting, a lot of customizations are breaking down.
Please remember, i wanted to use custom jQuery bottom tabs to display and sort the content of my frontage. These tabs need a static frontage for working. Now i have to conclude, that the project failed. I lost 5 months.
Thatswhy my question: do you see an option to offer bottom tabs in one of your next updates? If not, how much would it cost me to implement?
After updating a BackStop Theme using the auto-updater a subsequent back-to-back theme update returns an error code stating that the theme is up-to-date so it does not need to be updated.
V2.8.5
Persuasion (but I expect this would apply to all themes)
Try to update more than one BackStop Theme at the same time.
The version-compare is not comparing each individual theme.

@colin.schwebke - If you disable your plugins and configure your static blog page as recommended...does the sidebar appear beside the blog as it should? Get that to happen then enable plugins until things start to go wrong so that you can isolate the plugin that is causing the trouble. We can then decide if this is a theme issue or a plugin issue.
Hello Tim,
i was not able to rebuilt my website the way you recommended. The Blog Page is still broken down. If i make the the changes, in addition other features are breaking downs too.
Regards Colin
Thanks a lot for all your time and advice!
Best Tom
ok. Thanks for that. If the [raw][/raw] wrapper makes the problem go away then I guess we can consider this problem closed :-)
That´s how I tested it: Only the yoast plugin was activated and then caused the issue. When turned off, the issue was gone.
@TomBerlin - in answer to your question...you typically just wrapper the shortcode with [raw][/raw].
Before we go down that path too quickly...could you answer the previous question (above) regarding if you tested ONLY with yoast plugin enabled. It is possible the error is in one of your other plugins. The only way to really know it is the Yoast plugin is for that to be the only plugin active.
Thanks Tom. I haven't found any Yoast http code yet. May not be there. I just figured it was worth a try.
Question: How did you narrow it down to the Yoast plugin? I notice you have other plug-ins in play. Is the problem still there when Yoast is the ONLY plug-in enabled. I know the problem might have gone away when you disabled the yoast plugin but that does not mean the Yoast plugin is the problem. If you have not tried this...disable ALL plugins EXCEPT the yoast plugin and see if the problem is still there.
Hi Tim, sometime ago concerning a different shortcode-issue, you advised me to use [raw]...[/raw]
I tried this right now and... it works again!! :-)
May I put the whole page text in [raw]...[/raw] to do it the easy way or do I have to search for the relevant shordcodes to enclose it individually?
