3.5 Navigation/Menu Issue
  • I updated to 3.5, it broke my site, so I downloaded the latest version of the theme and uploaded it.. Now I have major issue with my drop-down navigation.

    Whenever I hover over a drop-down menu, my logo drops down and disappears, and the social icons in the header drop down half-way through my site. See the image below:

    This is the site in normal state:

    This is what happens when I hover over a drop-down menu:

    This is what happens when I stop hovering:

  • Hello, Can I get some help here please!?!?
  • Hi, sorry for the late response, i cant reproduce the problem with image in header, see the attached image. Are you see the same problem also on our preview site?
    Can you please provide the admin access to your site to look at problem with slider height? We'll try to look at it.
    Follow please instructions in my signature.
    Thanks, Ivan.

  • Sent you login details. And yes I see the same issue on your preview site with the header image.
  • Hi, to have set up sliders correctly, I assign your slides to some slider category (uncategorized-sliders) and I select in Home page settings this category of slider to show.
    Now it works correctly for me in all browsers.

    Regarding to issue with header, we really cant reproduce this error, we have also tested the theme (and your site too) on macbook with safari browser, and cant reproduce this error, it looks like some problem with concrete hardware and browser...
    You can try to run on another machine to see that there is no problem.

    Thanks, Ivan.

  • Ivan,

    My Slider still isn't fixed. It's still only 13px high.

    Also, the header issue seems to be happening with a lot of people, not just me. I've seen plenty of other people mentioning it on the forum, so clearly it's your theme.
  • Update: My slider issue seems to be fixed.

    BUT my header/dropdown error still appears on all macs that use safari and OS 10.6 (45% of all mac users).. that's not something to ignore. It's not just some small issue either, it completely messes up the whole appearance of the site and now after working on a website for several months and being nearly complete I have this issue that is preventing me from finishing the work for the client.

    Please address this. I've been trying to get your help on this for over a month now.

  • I found the issue. The JQuery needs to be updated to 1.8.3, how do I do this?
  • Hi, wordpress 3.5 version contains 1.8.3. jquery version,
    http://mactech.laubeau.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3

    If you want to update jquery UI in theme, you can download user interface 1.9.2 version here http://jqueryui.com/ and copy file jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js
    into theme folder ./design/js/libs/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js
    Then in file functions.php in theme root directory you can change lines:
    // jQuery UI
    wp_enqueue_style( 'CSS_jquery_ui', THEME_CSS_URL . '/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css');
    wp_enqueue_script( 'JS_jquery_ui', THEME_JS_URL . '/libs/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js', array('jquery') );

    you can use also updated css file.

    Thanks, Ivan.

  • I did this and got this error message:

    syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/laubeau/public_html/mactech/wp-content/themes/mactech/functions.php on line 155
  • I edited in WordPress Editor and it works now.. but this doesn't seem to be the issue. Really I need to update this line to 1.8.3..

    http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js?ver=1.7

    But when I go to header.php there's no coding. where do I find this line and can I change 1.7 to 1.8.3?
  • Hi, in theme file functions.php you can find function aitLoadJQuery('1.7');
    This function call jquery from googleapi. When you comment-out this function, then on your site is called jquery from wordpress. Using admin credentials what you sent me I change this function in your functions.php, and now o your site is called jquery in version what you want: http://mactech.laubeau.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3

  • Still doesn't fix my issue. I'm going to get my designer to make the navigation dropdown using CSS. How do I remove the javascript, and tell the theme to use CSS instead?
  • Hi, in the same file functions.php you can see how the css files are included into theme, so you can with same way import own css styling in separated file. You can also remove including of javascript files.
    So just as example, if you want to remove script file jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js, you can comment out function mentioned above:wp_enqueue_script( 'JS_jquery_ui', THEME_JS_URL . '/libs/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js', array('jquery') );

  • Can you tell me exactly which function/line I need to comment-out to disable the javascript on the navigation? The drop-down navigation is what's causing the problems.
  • It looks like this is the issue:

    jquery.iconmenu.js

    But when we command-out that line, it disables the portfolio images, googlemaps, etc.

    Is there a way to disable that for ONLY the dropdown navigation?
  • Hi, this iconmenu javascript is for Icon Menu type in theme, not for menu navigation in tom. Scripts for navigation menu are in file ./design/js/script.js, there is function for menu: RollUpMenu()

  • When I comment out the RollUpMenu() it fixes my navigation issue, but it disables the portfolio images and googlemaps (see attached)

    How do I remove the "RollUpMenu()" without affecting these other features?

  • Hi, commented out function RollUpMenu cant cause problems to other things, because this funciot have not to do with other parts of site. You can see attached image also with script.js file.
    Haven't you made some other changes there?
    Thanks, Ivan.

  • Hmm this doesn't solve my problem when I comment out that line. It DOES solve the problem when I comment out this section.. but it also breaks the other features like maps and portfolio images:

    function RollUpMenu(){
    var time = parseInt($j('#mainmenu-dropdown-duration').text());
    var easing = $j('#mainmenu-dropdown-easing').text();

    $j(".mainmenu ul li").hover(function(){
    var submenu = $j(this).children('ul');
    var size = $j(this).children('ul').children('li').size();

    $j(this).children('ul').children('li').each( function(){
    var sub = $j('.sub-menu').children('li');
    //alert(sub);
    liHeight = parseInt(sub.height());

    marT = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('marginTop').replace("px", "");
    marB = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('marginBottom').replace("px", "");

    paddT = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('paddingTop').replace("px", "");
    paddB = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('paddingBottom').replace("px", "");

    borderT = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('border-top-width').replace("px", "");
    borderB = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').css('border-bottom-width').replace("px", "");

    outerH = $j('.sub-menu').children('li').outerHeight();
    });

    var submenuHeight = ((liHeight*size)+(marT*size)+(marB*size)+(paddT*size)+(paddB*size)+(borderB*size));
    //alert(submenuHeight);

    //var submenuHeight = parseInt(submenu.height());

    submenu.css("display","block");
    submenu.height("1px");

    $j(this).children('ul').stop('true','true').animate({
    height: submenuHeight
    }, time, easing);
    }, function(){
    $j(this).children('ul').css("display","none");
    $j(this).children('ul').css('height','1px');
    });

    }
