Hello Gerry,

Thanks for writing.

Would you please explain me what I have to do to preview the theme with that plugin? I’ve been through your site and you’re using another theme.

Have in mind that for you to see the home page template(the one with the slider and the pre footer widgets), you need to create a page, set the home page template to that page and then set that page as the front page.

Best,
Juan.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for your prompt response.

The front page should be set from “Settings > Reading” as described in our theme documentation: http://nicethemeswp.com/support/theme-docs/bbq/

I went through the customizer to see your problem. And I actually saw it.

I’ve tried the same on our development/testing environment and it is not happening. What lead me to check your site dependencies. I’m pretty sure that it’s plugin related. Plus, I’ve seen that one of the plugins you use is registering its own version of jQuery(from formstarck.com, not sure what plugin) instead of using the one provided by WordPress.

I’m pretty sure the problem is related to this. Would you please try to revise which plugin is doing this? I assume is the one that creates the form in the widgets area.

Best,
Juan.

Hi Gerry,

It affects the slider because they include a deprecated version of jQuery, and the slider uses jQuery.

So, as the slider have a dependency on jQuery, if they override the version that it should be included with an old one, it causes a conflict. The result, the slider doesn’t work on this exact case, but it could break many other things using jQuery.

I would recommend you to look for an official Constant Contact widget, I’m sure they will play the game nicely – they will do the coding as it should – and won’t be registering other versions of jQuery. Another option would be checking if there’s an updated version of the one that you’re using, a version which doesn’t cause conflicts and is up to date.

Best,
Juan.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for writing back.

Ok, please keep me updated about the response you get.

With regards to the widgets in the sidebar of pages, there’s a widgetized space named “Pages” where you can put your widgets. You’ll need to use the default page template.

Best,
Juan.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for writing. I’ve been through your site and I was able to see what you mentioned.

I also saw that you’re running an old version of the theme, that actually had some bugs regarding sidebars. I would recommend you to update your theme to the latest version and then check if the problem is still happening.

Thanks for your patience,
Juan.

Hi Gerry,

You can send me the purchase id to support@nicethemeswp.com and I’ll set up your account. Or you can download it through themeforest.

Best,
Juan

Hi Gerry,

The latest version to date is 1.1.4.

With regards to the CSS changes, yes – you should take those changes over the file custom.css or to the custom styles option within the options panel.

I’ve configured your account so you can now download the theme from your dashboard.

Best,
Juan.
