Hello,

I can’t figure out how to get the testimonials to show up like they do in the demo:

https://catchthemes.com/demo/solid-construction-free/

I installed the essential content types plugin but there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to input the person’s position. The testimonials also don’t show the person’s name with the dividing line, only the content of the testimonial so it looks very plain.

Is there a way to hide the “author” of each post? The author name shows up on every page, service, testimonial, etc…which doesn’t make much sense for a company website.

Why is this forum and theme hidden on your website? I installed the theme through WordPress theme search but can’t find it listed anywhere on your website and in the forums unless I go to the URL directly.

Good pickup. It’s available from the ‘select theme’ drop-down menu at the top of the page, but not in the board list as you say.

It seems there must be a limit to how many can be listed on the one page and it finishes at pop rock pro !

Presumably the Catch Themes people will be able to make an adjustment to the forum software to fix this issue.

Hopefully this thread will help you. I believe the testimonials work in exactly the same way.

@mikernet: hello mikernet, I think you have also missed the metabox section that appear on the right side of the testimonial page. Where you are provided with the option to put the person position, Please check this screenshot. Please follow this steps:

step 1:Go to=> Dashboard=> Testimonial=> Add new testimonial=> Don’t forget to add the customer’s name as title
step 2: (At right side of the sidebar) Testimonial Options=> add the position of the customer.
step 3:Save/Publish it

-For hiding the author name, published date we have launched the plugin called Hide/Remove Meta Data, you can go for it.

-This support forum is available in our official site of the Catch Themes, you can visit this link. Let me know if you find any difficulty or have any other queries!

Kind Regards,
Sapana

That totally makes sense…I was definitely conflating the position field with the order field that some item types have, haha. I didn’t realize it had to be filled out for the name to show as well so I thought something was just wrong. I think the name should still show even if no position has been entered though as that info isn’t always available but I can make this work.

I just used CSS to hide the author info, I figured I must have been missing something in the settings but this is easy enough to do.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the quick responses!

One last thing I forgot to ask about – if you click on view all services or go to view all testimonials, the heading for the page is a bit awkward. It says “Archives: Services” or “Archives: Testimonials” with the title you actually chose in the theme options under it in smaller print. Aside from hacking up CSS again, is there any other way to make this nicer? The services page should just have a nice big title that says services instead of the “Archives: Services” and then “Services” under that once again, just doesn’t make much sense.

@mikernet: Hello Mikernet,To remove that Archives Title from the Testimonials and Service you need to create a child theme and have do a little bit customization. Let me know if you are familiar with child theme customization or not? I will provide necessary code to remove that title.

Kind Reagrds,

Yes I already have a child theme customizations so I’ll find where to modify that.

One large problem I’m having though which I think is a bug is that I put navigation menu links to each of the services defined as service items and they don’t highlight as active when you are on those services pages. Navigation items that point to normal pages work fine.

[mikernet]

I found another bug. When you go to theme customizations and then Essential Content Types to edit the “Portfolio Archive Title” field it appears correctly on the homepage, but when you go to look at the site outside of the theme customizer area then it shows its default “Portfolio” title.

[mikernet]

The problem with the menu items is that the CSS to make it look active is defined on “.current-page-item” but not “.current-menu-item”, which is what non-pages have applied instead.

[sapana]

@mikernet: Hello milkernet, if you have the child theme then Go to child theme folder=> function.php=> add the following code

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', function ($title) {
    if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
        /* translators: Post type archive title. %s: Post type name */
        $title = sprintf( __( '%s' ), post_type_archive_title( '', false ) );
    } 
    return $title;
});

Let me know if this works out.Can you please send me your site url so that I can look into other issue.

Kind Regards,
Sapana

Hi Sapana,

Yes that bit of code seems to have fixed the issue.

I fixed the other CSS problem by adding “.navigation-classic.header-modern .main-navigation .current-menu-item > a” to the list of items that sets the active border color since “.navigation-classic.header-modern .main-navigation .current_page_item > a” only applied to page items in the menu.

@mikernet: Glad to know that you figure it out. Have a good day 🙂

Kind Regards,
Sapana
