Hi,

I have a question regarding the display of a page.

I have some pages with an active “Full Width Disable Sidebar Template”.
After the last update of catch box all these pages are displayed like the standard-template but without the sidebar even though “Full Width Disable Sidebar Template” is selected…

Does anyone have a solution for this???
On these sites I have some wide tables and now they are displayed squeezed.

Best regards
Chrisse

I am experiencing the same thing as of this morning’s update of CatchBox.

The other issue is that my pages that had content aligned to the right (sidebar-left), are now showing up on the left (side-bar right).

This is critical because I have four websites that work in tandem.

[mrichwncc]

Because I am using 4 Catch Box themed websites and had not updated all of them, I replaced my .css file with the one that was not broken, and now my sites are all working as they were prior to the update (they are also asking me to update to v 3.4).

I would appreciate you looking into the two issues that I discovered:

1) Full Width Disabled Sidebar pages were showing up as a single thin page aligned to the left without a sidebar.
2) Even though the box was checked in theme options to have the content on right-sidebar on left as default–the pages were displaying content on left and sidebar on right.

Thanks for your assistance. If there were security issues involved with that updated theme, I would appreciate being informed of that information as well.

We are also looking for a solution to the Full Width Disable Sidebar Template that is no longer full width.

Hello,

Freaking out a bit as I also have this problem…

I have most of my pages using “Full Width Disable Sidebar Template”.

After the update of catch box they are displaying the standard template but without the sidebar even though “Full Width Disable Sidebar Template” is still selected.

Please advise as this is very important.

If anyone has a fix for this, I’d love to hear it. admin[at]thepecmethod[dot]com

My page looks terrible now. http://www.thepecmethod.com

Please, anyone, any advise would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Also, the header sizes look wrong.

I think a bit of a rollback it needed urgently.

Please.

Does the theme autoupdate? I had a copy of 3.3 and the full width template worked, and then I checked site later and it updated to 3.4 and I didn’t do it. Have I been hacked or does the host update without my knowledge, on a dedicated server as well

http://tabletvideomembershipsites.com is site with problem
It happened as all have said with update to 3.4 Please advise

[mrichwncc]

My themes/plugins do not auto update.

It is possible that you have set up another plug in to auto update (there are a number of all purpose back up and maintenance plugins that do it).

I doubt that you have been hacked. I think you are experiencing what all of us who updated to 3.4 have.

if you can get a hold of a clean CSS from yesterday, you can solve your problems.

I would share my CSS, but it would not be helpful since it has been tweaked heavily for my sites.

[Pete]

mrichwncc,

Do you know how to get a clean CSS from yesterday?

Or just some details of how to correct it?

It would really make my day! This has really rocked my confidence, I hope that it is on the agenda to be sorted out and is fixed quickly.

My site looks horrid compared to how it did and it is still in development. The heading defaults look wrong and the template types don’t work properly any more.

It may only be a small thing but it looks VERY broken to me. I wish I could roll back the 3.4 to 3.3.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Pete at The PEC Method

Correction,

My email is admin[at]thepecmethod[dot]co[dot]uk

Apologies, we are still under development.

I have restored my WordPress folder on the server so that it is as it was yesterday morning.

I used the restore facility that my host provides.

Catch Box 3.3 is back!

My site looks just how I want it to look again and everything is working!

I lost no changes either.

I wish you all the best of luck, let me know if you want any details.

Kind regards,

I can confirm that the sidebar on all pages has also shifted from left to right on my site after the latest update to the theme. It appears that the theme setting for the default page format is being ignored. Site is at http://rgneighbours.net

Any indication of when the next update will be? Need to decide whether to revert to the old version of the theme, or is an update imminent?

[soundpages]

I had a copy of 3.3 Catchbox and installed it, and of course it said there was an update pending last night, this morning, 3.4 was installed and I have know idea why that is happening, I don’t know is auto installing the update, but it is on all my catchbox sites, so here is work around that seems to be working until update fixes style.css file that causes the problem,

I replaced that style.css file from 3.3 and changed version number to 3.4 and it seems to stick and all seems to be working for now.

Hope this helps, it was easy to change.

[daven]

Just done as soundpages suggests – it worked for me, but I also needed to the default page layout in the theme options to a different setting and back. All OK at the moment, awaiting an update. According to the theme author a patch version 3.4.1 is due soon – see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-attributes-template-not-working-after-update-to-34

Sorry all. We are in the process of fixing the issue. But we have no control of free version update. So, we have to wait for WordPress Team to get it approved. We have prepared the patch in version 3.4.2 which is already schedule for release after WordPress update. For now, can you open the file functions.php and go to line no 715. You will see the following code:

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchbox_body_classes' ) ) : 
/**
 * Adds two classes to the array of body classes.
 * The first is if the site has only had one author with published posts.
 * The second is if a singular post being displayed
 *
 * @since Catch Box 1.0
 */
function catchbox_body_classes( $classes ) {
	$options = catchbox_get_theme_options();
	$layout = $options['theme_layout'];
	if ( function_exists( 'is_multi_author' ) && !is_multi_author() ) {
		$classes[] = 'single-author';
	}
	if ( $layout == 'content-sidebar' && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' )  && !is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'content-sidebar';
	}
	elseif ( $layout == 'sidebar-content' && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' )  && !is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'sidebar-content';
	}
	elseif ( $layout == 'content-onecolumn' || is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'content-onecolumn';
	}		
	elseif ( is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) || is_attachment() ) {
		$classes[] = 'singular';
	}
	elseif ( is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' ) || is_attachment() ) {
		$classes[] = 'fullwidth';	
	}	
	return $classes;
}
endif; // catchbox_body_classes

Replace the code with the following code:

if ( ! function_exists( 'catchbox_body_classes' ) ) : 
/**
 * Adds two classes to the array of body classes.
 * The first is if the site has only had one author with published posts.
 * The second is if a singular post being displayed
 *
 * @since Catch Box 1.0
 */
function catchbox_body_classes( $classes ) {
	$options = catchbox_get_theme_options();
	$layout = $options['theme_layout'];
	if ( function_exists( 'is_multi_author' ) && !is_multi_author() ) {
		$classes[] = 'single-author';
	}
	if ( $layout == 'content-sidebar' && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' )  && !is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'right-sidebar';
	}
	elseif ( $layout == 'sidebar-content' && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' )  && !is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'left-sidebar';
	}
	elseif ( $layout == 'content-onecolumn' || is_page_template( 'page-onecolumn.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) && !is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' ) ) {
		$classes[] = 'no-sidebar one-column';
	}		
	elseif ( is_page_template( 'page-disable-sidebar.php' ) || is_attachment() ) {
		$classes[] = 'no-sidebar';
	}
	elseif ( is_page_template( 'page-fullwidth.php' ) || is_attachment() ) {
		$classes[] = 'no-sidebar full-width';
	}	
	return $classes;
}
endif; // catchbox_body_classes

Hello All,

Sorry for all the trouble. We are desperately waiting for the update from WordPress Review to get our Catch Box 3.4.2 live soon so that you can directly update from your WordPress Dashboard.

But for now, you can download zip file of Catch Box 3.4.2 from http://bit.ly/cbox342 . If you know the FTP then you can just upload it manually. But if you want to upload from WordPress Dashboard, then you need to upload the theme using Catch Update plugin http://catchthemes.com/wp-plugins/catch-updater/. The update instructions is give in Catch Updater plugin page.

Same Problem here.

I tried the code for the functions.php. Although the article/page is now in the center but still does not use the entire width of the theme.

I hope the update will quickly solve the problem. Now, i also lost my widgets.. are no longer displayed

[Epheistos]

Update to my previous post:

i also tried your zip-File, and here the same problem: the theme doesn´t use the entire width (full width disable sidebar)????
It show always the small template.

Update 2: my error, i have to change this at theme-option. With the zip-File, it seems, it works, puuhh, … in the future, please, not so much stress 😉

[Sakin]

@Epheistos: Yes update to 3.4.2 fixes all the layout issue. Yes, sorry for the trouble. Wanted to make it better but this body_class got it all messed up. Yes, we will be more careful.

[mrichwncc]

Tried the 3.4.2 update that was made available this afternoon on one of my 4 sites using Catch Box.

It appears that issues were ironed out for 3.4, as long as you are logged in as a user. When I tried it as the public sees it, I discovered these things:

1) Content Layout seems to be corrected from 3.4, columns and content align correctly.
2) Full Width Disabled Sidebar pages are showing up as a single thin page aligned to the left without a sidebar. (Just as reported before)–they were working correctly from the dashboard.
3) It appears that the RSS Feed widget may be broken with this update.

I am returning to 3.3 until I can be assured that the update is working across the board. I have 4 sites that need to work together–this current update is not going to work.
