Updated to PlatformPro 1.3.1 but a few things seem broken

Recommended Posts

I updated to PlatformPro 1.3.1 tonight and the site took a design hit. I created a Jing screencast to show whats going on since the only update I've done to this point is on my localhost using MAMP. <http://handsonpaws.com/jing/demo2.swf> I am using WordPress 3.1. Thanks.

A couple things to check... First, the wide dropdown nav should have been fixed with 1.3.0.2, then up to 1.3.1. You might want to double check and make sure you have the actual 1.3.1 file that you installed. The shifting of the sidebar and some of the other features might have to do with the site width setting. Go to your layout editor and double check the site width. There have been instances where it resets itself to a narrower width, and sometimes to -24. Just change it back to the width you wish and save it, then check out the site again. After that, if anything is still broken, or if those weren't a problem at all, let us know.

Hi Mark, The change log states 1.3.1. What do I do now? I'm looking at the Layout Editor on my localhost version now. What am I looking for? Here is what I see: The second layout in the list is selected that shows one sidebar on the right. Widths are as follows: Global Content Width: 962 Main Content Width: 666 Sidebar1 Width: 296 These are the same widths as my remote site. What about my backgrounds? I recall this happening with version a 1.2.x upgrade but don't recall the fix. I would hope there might be some instructions offered that address this if it routinely happens during upgrades.

Well, you can try saving your settings which should hopefully reset your dynamic.css file or something like that. You could also try activating the default them then reactivating the base theme. After that, you've exceeded my ideas. I don't know why it wouldn't be working.

Hey Mark, I have to confess when you said try saving my settings I thought, "Good Grief!" But that is exactly what fixed every single thing! That was way too easy. Thanks bunches! I think your tip should be written into the update instructions on the PDF download.

Double check to see if the selectors are the same between versions. If they are different then obviously your background isn't going to show. There are three design styles now so maybe it's not set to the one you previously had. Also, the widths can be easily changed back, correct? We did recently fix cacheing and saving issues in the last 24 hours... all of your custom changes, how did you make them?
