Weaver Xtreme 4.0 and Weaver Xtreme Theme Support 4.0 now live

[Dave]

Scrambler.

I mean lines around the home page columns and also seen on the social media icons (bottom left). Such is not seen on the original (non updated) version.

[Weaver]

It looks perfect on my iPhone 7. This may be a caching issue.

[Dave]

Yes Mr. Weaver.

I deleted my cache plugin and now it wraps perfectly on my iPhone. As I mentioned to Scrambler, I’m not certain what the thin lines are on the homepage “divisions” columns and social media icons.

Wow!

You can really see table lines here (updated site):

http://cdvps.org/bu/preapplication-meeting/request-form

Where here, original site you can’t see that:

Same layout and table used for both

Oops – took too long to submit my own post. Could have already been cleared.

Normally, a cache plugin will clear the cache only if you change the page/post content. It can’t tell if you’ve messed with the CSS (or even theme settings much of the time). So clearing instead of disabling should achieve the same results.

I think the new default table layout of Weaver may add lines around the table rows/columns.

Open the Legacy : Main Options : Content : Tables section and select No Borders for your table style.

[Dave]

That worked!!  Took away the border around the tables. It also took away my header image, but I remember I had to remove my header widget message then put it back to make it come back before. I’ll try that

Still looking for the thin line around the social media icons. 🤔

[scrambler]

There is a rule

table,td,th{border:1px solid #d1d1d1}

Now what do you have selected in main options >  Content Areas > List HR Table > Table style ?

If You selected No Borders in there, and cleared all your caches, there should not be these borders and it would be a bug. If you have selected something else, then change it

[Dave]

Scrambler. I selected no borders from the drop-down menu and that took care of table borders as Weaver suggested

My last ordeal is the thin border around the social media icons.

[Dave]

Had to remove my header widget using visual editor. For some reason it would over-ride my header image.

[scrambler]

As I said, these border come from the rule

table,td,th{border:1px solid #d1d1d1}

If you have selected border style none in the options, then that rule should not be there.

@\weaver this seems to be a bug then.

In the mean time, you can add the rule below in the Theme global custom CSS Ryle box

table,td,th{border:none;}

[Dave]

Thank you for your time and valued assistance.

Bottom line is numerous things have suddenly gone wrong as a result of this upgrade.

– I can’t suddenly add a header widget because my header image disappears.

– Lines suddenly appeared around tables,

– Some field sizes have changed (mobile view),

– Search bar/field became thinner and magnifying glass went on opposite side (not a major issue, but thought I’d mention it)  😞

At this point, I have two questions, if I may.

1- Should I wait until the next release before upgrading?

2- Should I delete and never use my cache plugin?

Thanks again for your time. I’ll use our beta site for testing and will help anyway I can.

@Scrambler.

This CSS code you provided totally fixed the lines issue.

table,td,th{border:none;}

The site (except for the other issues mentioned above) now looks exactly like the original (not updated) one. Definitely major progress made.

Thank you both for your speedy response and willingness to assist.

I’ve become so use to updating Weaver builds without issues, I updated the live site. Yikes! That totally crippled me and calls started coming in. Lesson learned? Update the non-production site first. 😊

Thanks again, anything I can do to help by using our site I’ll gladly do. I know it’s a simple design and certainly doesn’t contain all the bells and whistles, but we use it solely to keep our visitors informed.

Best,

David

[Weaver]

Thanks for your patience. Do note that this is a major version update, and it was necessary to add some of these new classes and styling to keep the theme up to date with the latest design trends, including supporing features of the upcoming Gutenberg editor.

Hopefully, there will someday be a Version 5.0. But for now, there should be no more major surprises with minor revisions to Weaver Xtreme 4.

[scrambler]

To answer your question about your cache plugin, these are normally OK to use, just remember to clear them when doing design modification or updates, to be sure that your changes are reflected and that no old version pieces  gets mixed up with the new.

[Dave]

Thank you Mr. Weaver.

In the meantime, is there any harm in not upgrading (I’ll test on the beta side first), until I’m certain the site will continue to function?

This was quite a scare.

Thanks

David

[scrambler]

There is no harm in not updating right away, and if you have a beta site, you can definitely take the time to check that everything is as you need it on it before updating the live site.
