REPORT ANY STRIKING VER 4.0.3 ISSUES IN THIS THREAD PLEASE!!
  • Hi Striking Universe:


    After you have installed Striking 4.0.3, should you notice an issue with one of the new features or fixes, please report it here.

    If you don't know how to use a feature, this is not the place to post. This thread is only for "errors" related to the new release, generally related to core coding, not how-to or customization questions.

    Should you find that an issue has carried over from your prior reporting in the 4.0-4.0.1 reporting thread, that we missed, don't hesitate to raise it here.

    Also note that the developers of the Anything Slider, which is a 3 party script that we have incorporated into Striking, have produced a chart indicating where they are at on addressing various issues in respect of the Anything Slider and video play. The link can be found at:

    http://proloser.github.com/AnythingSlider/video.html

    At a later date we will imbed that chart in a dedicated thread for the Anything slider. In summary, IE8 and IE7 do not support HTML 5 video - which is a relatively new format, plus there are misc other hiccups depending on the browser and the content one is seeking to display. Overall, the Anything Slider is an incredibly robust slider allowing an unparalleled variety of slider image/video/hml content and so we choose to keep it within Striking.

    Happy Striking

  • Hi all,

    Sorry for all the lengthy posts, but with 4.0.3 configured correctly I have retested the Nivo slider and the resizing works correctly.

    I was able to solve the issue I was having. The theme folder had an extra white space after striking which caused an error. The space was invisible so I could not see it.

    robwfounder you mentioned that your Nivo slider was not appearing. It is appearing correctly on mine now so some suggestions are:

    -Disable all plugins
    -Ensure that the slideshow is not disabled
    -Test the other sliders to see if they work (for me before this issue the other three slider types worked correctly)
    -See this thread about server permissions and problems with sliders after upgrading http://kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/1281/server-permissions-how-to-adjust-your-hosting-if-your-settingssliders-not-working-7-april11

    Best,
    Colin

    Hi Colin

    If you have no objections I am going to delete all your above posts other then this one to keep the thread nice and tight, as from what I understand, this is not a Striking error (however, see my question below).

    Robfounder has sent me the necessaries so that we can go into his setup and tinker about. I have no doubt we will get it resolved.

    Thank you for your independent confirmation about the Nivo Slider. We did lots of independent testing this time round for this update, but whatever issue plagues Rob's site and hosting we will attempt to get to the bottom of it. I am 100% confident that the Nivo slider is working, however, I do now know that one of the attributes - the Nivo slicedown speed, is not behaving properly (Aleksandr aka Nmask found that error). That is a little thing and easily addressed.

    BTW, I am curious about this The theme folder had an extra white space after striking which caused an error. Is this something we did or can you explain a little more so that I can understand in case anyone else ever has this issue?

    Thanks and best regards.

  • Hi Kaptinlin, James and everybody else.

    I just noticed a problem with Striking Recent Posts Widget. If the Widget is located on the footer, all the generated thumbnails are perfectly square.
    The same doesn't happen if the Widget is located on the sidebar, in this case, the right sidebar. Some thumbnails are generated with the original image aspect ration. If the image is rectangular, the thumbnail will be rectangular. I never noticed this behavior before and find it rather strange. The same widget behaves in two different ways depending on the location.

    Have a look at the images below and inspect the behavior live at: http://xbmcmediacenter.com/articles/

    EDIT: SOLVED ------------------------------------------------------

    Hi guys!
    James, you were spot on!
    If I had taken the time and actually use my brain, I could have figured it very quickly instead of bitching... :-) I'm sure I was asleep that day...

    The solution is to turn this section in screen.css file
    .posts_list .thumbnail img {
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    display:block;
    }

    into
    .posts_list .thumbnail img {
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    display:block;
    height:60px;
    width:60px;
    }

    to match the footer section
    #footer .posts_list .thumbnail img {
    border:none;
    width:60px;
    height:60px;
    }


    Thanks for everything and please delete this shameful post... ;-)

  • Same issue as others with slideshows not displaying (http://modernpaint.net), except for the 3D which does work, and none of my portfolio pictures will display. However if you click on the empty box in the portfolio, it will display a larger picture of the picture that should be there. I was running v.2.2.3 and noticed my slideshow in the homepage not working, so I updated to the latest version today which did not fix the issue. I read through all the postings here, and bumped up all the permissions on the files and folders on the server as suggested, but nothing seems to help. I only run two plugins, WP touch, and Google XML sitemaps, and even with those deactivated, it makes no difference. Any more suggestions?
    I also manage another Wordpress website (www.rera.com) that uses a different theme (Dandelion) on the same ISP web servers (sonic.net) using timthumb and their sliders and pictures were never affected by any Wordpress updates during the same timeframe.
    Oct 11
    I think I have found the source of the issue but do not know the solution. I used the element inspector function in Google Chrome to see what was happening on my Portfolio page. The same warnings and errors came up with each picture trying to load.
    Warning: Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html.
    Error:Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (bad request)
    Where can I fix this?
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    kevin, your issue has been fixed. Your host was reading the image paths in a very odd manner. the timthumb script for your site has been modified to accommodate how the host reads the file path. Before any future upgrades, check with me. however, the core script may be modified to accommodate both relative and absolute file paths, and if so, then it won't be an issue.

    Anyways, you are good to go. Lin found the problem.
    Regards
    James


    Thank you so much for your efforts on this. The site works perfectly now, and ended up being a problem with my web host, and not the theme. You guys fixed it anyway. That really shows the concern and support you guys have to your customers to make sure everyone is happy, so that all the instances of your theme display properly. James stayed on it until it was resolved, and Kaptinlin came in and had to customize the timthumb module to work with my web host's servers. Above and beyond the call of duty. Everyone who gets this kind of support should make a donation to them.

  • OK, well I have a pretty big problem here....my website header disappears when being viewed in safari... http://www.eastofedenltd.com

    Safari Version 5.1 (6534.50)

    Update:
    Is seems that turning cufon off fixes the problem but then my website looks ugly!

    Hi Joel
    Its a problem, but it is a problem of Cufon and Safari 5, and I don't know if it is within our power as theme developers to resolve it. We will look into it, but Cufon rendering is really something not within our control much of the time. Cufon is rendered via js, and each browser is treating js differently for certain functions, sometimes which is not within a developer's control or ability to fix.

    May I suggest you look at using a FontFace font? And remember you are not limited to the selection that is included with the theme, you can also import your own. Another option is to use a google font plugin to source the several hundred free google fonts now available:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-fonts/
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-google-fonts/
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-webfonts-integrate/

    the first 2 I have used with Striking. The third one I listed is new to me but I noticed it recently in the update section of wordpress.org. You can also search the plugin directory at wordpress.org for many other types of fonts.

    Regards
    James


    Oct 7 Update
    Im not sure why but after installing the WP Google Fonts, activating and then deactivating, Cufon seems to be working fine now in Safari...weird!
  • I have a quick issue that was present in previous versions. I wanted to see if it was fixed in this version but it isn't.

    For some reason, whenever I put a page under the parent of a page called "Portfolio" I get a 404 error. It doesn't matter what the content or template of both of the pages are. Simply the filepath being Portfolio is enough to cause this to happen. Thus far I have worked around the issue by changing the URL to /my-portfolio/. Then it works just fine.

    Any thoughts? It seems strange that the such a minor difference in the URL would cause this issue.

    Hi, it's a conflict between the rewrite slug of portfolio items (which probably is 'portfolio') and the page called "Portfolio". It's kind of "normal" and it's not a bug :-)
    The only way to solve this is to change the rewrite base for portfolio post type or to change the slug of the page ....

  • Same problem, Tried all the permissions fixes and my slider only works when I use the Striking 3.0.6.1 version.

    I don't understand... I even copied the same permissions that I used from the old striking version to the new one and it still doesn't work.

    this is for www.mahmoudtaji.com I need help... I really have run out of options.
    ------------------------------------

    Hello Colinacronin... yea I switched it back to Striking 3.0.6.1 so I don't lose any customers who think that the website is out of commission.

    What I did was try to upgrade to the new theme but when the sliders didn't work I switched back.

    I need someone from the Striking developer team to take a look and see why 4.0.3 doesn't work but 3.0.6.1 does.

    thanks,
    taji

    Hi Taji and everyone else:

    Resolved!! As always, was permissions. Sliders on both homepage and VO equipment page are working now.

    Regards
    James
  • @Enrico, thanks. I was wondering if it was a "normal" part of Striking due to the rewrite slug.

    @Mstaji, I looked at your link that you provided. The slider looks fine to me. The entire image plus caption looks like it appears. I attached a screenshot to show you what I see.

    It did load very slowly though. Not sure if there is an issue with your host or not. Perhaps the speed is affecting how the slider appears for you?

  • I resolved RobWFounder's slider issues today. It appeared to be a problem uploading the newer version of Striking via the ftp program he was using. He was not getting a complete install but was not receiving any error messages about his ftp transfer being incomplete.

    After I did the update for him, his slider on his site was working fine in all the browsers I tested on his site, and all the shortcodes were visible in his editor. He has a great site and from what I could see, all was working perfectly. His site will certainly make it to the showcase as it has very interesting style elements.

    So in conclusion, the issues he had were with his attempts in updating, and not Striking code or core related at all. However, I have asked him to test out functions on his site to confirm everything is ok, and hopefully he will be able to report back that all is good.

    Taji, I suspect you are having somewhat of the same problem without realizing it to be the case. Shoot me over your logins (FTP and wp - must be master level - usually users just shoot us over theirs and then if they are worriers, change the passwords once we are done) and I will take a look.

    BTW everyone, this would be about the 1000th time I have fixed a permission or install issue for a user. As I have said many times (countless unimaginable times....), these are most typically the problems for theme functions not working, and they are not theme code related, but one understanding how to interact with one's website host.
  • I'm having a strange problem on a brand new install. It's on a Media Temple server. I'm going to try and delete the install/db and try from scratch. But there were odd things happening - like images missing (theme related). The shadowing under lightbox images didn't show either. Weird.
    -----------------------------------
    UPDATE:

    Tried again from scratch with a clean install. I verified permissions were set to 777, bumped the php.ini up to 50MB for uploads, but still getting the same strange errors. Images related to the theme are missing in the dashboard.

    I have no pages, posts, portfolio items, plugins, etc. It's a perfectly clean install because I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else interfering.

    This is on a client's Media Temple server. I did the 1-click install through MT's control panel. It's running WP 3.2.1. You can see the different images that are "broken" in this screenshot. Really odd.

    Your help is definitely appreciated, thanks!!

    Hi MoveupMedia

    I can tell right away, that for whatever reason, you are not getting a complete install. I just finished working on a couple of other users installs. They both were using Filezilla, and for whatever reason, their installs completed for them without any error messages, but when I went in and inspected their setups, in each case the install was not complete.

    I still have to get to a couple of more users, including Mstaji in this thread, but if you send me your ftp and wp admin logins (must be master admin level- usually we just recommend you send us your own, you can always change the passwords afterwords if you are a worrier) and I will go take a look - likely tommorrow.

    Regards
    James

    ---------------------------
    Hi James:

    The issue is that you must select "Binary" for transfer type. For some reason "ASCII" doesn't allow a full install. I switched that in Filezilla, did the upload, and voila!
    ------------------------------------
    Oct 18
    Thanks for the info MoveupMedia. I don't use Filezilla but CuteFTP Pro - the usual choice for developers. I am going to add this discovery of yours to the dedicated thread on slider permissions, et al. You will be credited!

  • I updated Safari to 5.1.1 today as well as Striking. And... the masthead and top menu isn't visible. It's seeing it for an instant then it disappears. I happened to have updated Striking to 4.03 today as well as Safari 5.1.1 so I can't tell you which of the two updates might be killing it. I've posted a 2 minute video about this at :


    Your comments are greatly appreciated, thanks for your help!

    12 Oct 10pm EST
    Hi Okie
    Striking is not yet compatible with that version of safari, which was only released today!! LOL.

    We try to be quick, but its almost impossible to be that quick. I can't say to you that you should revert - but it will be at least a few days if not longer, before we can work out compatibility.

    Best Regards
    James

  • LOL.. I thought Apple always checked with you first about their browser being compatible with Striking! We know you rule!

    Thanks for the quick answer. I won't turn back.. just forward. I'll keep an eye on this forum for the next update.

    Thanks James!
  • When I combine JS files and try to translate with Transposh, my homepage Anything slider disappears. When I combine CSS Transposh flags disappear completely. Is there a way to exclude certain JS or CSS files in the combine feature through a file in the theme? Thanks for your help in advance. The 4.0.3 version is working great and this is the only issue, besides the pending mediaelement.js issues. Are you getting closer to solving those video diaplay in IE & FF issues?

    Thanks in advance for your help,

    Hi Collete

    I am glad we still have you as a customer. I thought we might have lost you after your difficulties a while back.

    First on the mediaelement js issues - my first post in this thread has a link to the Anything Slider Site, and a nice chart by the developers of the AS, indicating its current status with each browser. Particularly problematic is that IE 8 and IE 7 do not support HTML 5 video, and there are certain Youtube difficulties with virtually all the other browsers for one particular function or another. Until the Anything Slider script developers come up with solutions, we have done what we can in respect of its function within Striking. Kappy follows this issue very closely, and did a lot of rewriting of the integration of the script into Striking for the current version, and I think overall it is working considerably better then before.

    I don't know what your current implementation is in respect of the slider, but if you have any questions, you can always shoot us a message and we will take a look.

    On the question of excluding files, is your site heavily impacted in page load times if you have the combine features off? Or could you wrap the transposh code in the raw tag or are you using it in plugin form? We will have to get back to you on what can be done, and it would take some investigative work - its really not something I can make any promises about until Lin and I talk.

    Best Regards
    James

  • Thank you Websys (aka James) for the brilliant job you did fixing up my Striking theme. It was all in the server permissions.

    I guess that will mean that the next upgrade should be trouble free!

    Much respect!

  • im having problem with compatibility with ie 8 and ie7. It works fine in ie9 but when 8 or 7 attempt to go to the site, the top menu looses its style and is hidden behind my logo. the site is www.brothertech.net Thanks for the help in advance!
    ---------------------------------------------
    Oct 18 Hi Dicklaw88
    At my office I only have IE9 but I will look at your site later today on a computer with an older version of IE installed, and see what is up. We have the theme up to date with emulation for IE 7 and IE8 to the best of our knowledge. But please do remember those browsers do not support certain html standards, and no fixes exist for what they do not support. Themeforest in fact no longer requires IE7 support, as it is pretty much impossible to make certain modern scripts work in that browser.

    I will get back to you by private message after I look into your site tonight with IE 8.
    James

    Thanks for any help you can provide. You should be able to view it using ie9 also by pressing the compatibility mode button. Ill send you my login info to help you out and thanks again!
  • I am also having the Safari 5.1 menu problem as with OkieOilman and jkristoph. My website's menu will not display ONLY when the contact page is viewed and ONLY when viewed on a mac- it works fine in Windows.

    I have tried changing the #navigation font to google webfonts and arial and creating a custom menu set, but the problem still exists...any ideas? I'm really scraping at the bottom of the barrel with this one.
    -----------------------------------------------
    Oct 18
    Hi SV
    Please send to kappy and I your logins. We will want to take a closer look at this I think, so we can ensure Striking compatibility with this new Safari update. I don't use Mac stuff at all myself, so the heavy lifting on this falls directly upon Kappy. He is already working on it. Right now we are thinking about a week for a Striking update which should include this Safari compatibility (as long as we crack this nut!)

  • hi there,
    Amazing theme guys, and already working fine with previous release on the same provider.

    Installation on fresh server space an DB (www.elenapanzeri.it/wp) of ver. 4.0.3
    No plugin previously installed or activated.
    checked permission on cache and set to 777 (default 755)
    2 slide item upload as featured images and published.
    images are detected but not displayed.
    Any idea ?
    thanks for support.

    --------------------------------------------
    UPDATE: Reinstalled everything by ftp and not by build-in WP tool and is working.

  • Congratulations on creating what appears to be a great template. Unfortunately though, we can not get the slider to display ANY images at all and have gone over and over and over the documentation and settings until we simply can't do any more. We've tried everything and nothing shows in the slider. In fact, the only slider which has worked at all is the 3D Flash slider. We have used three other templates with similar sliders and they all work fine. Please can you help. Thanks,

    These users are on Windows hosting. Which cannot manage the necessary permission transitions in order for some of the image scripts in Striking to work properly.

    We previously had a note (which we just removed only a week or so ago if it was even that long, darn!) about Windows hosting being insufficient.

    I am still in discussion with the user about alternatives.
    James
  • Digitrans I have been fighting this theme for a year now?? I think.
    It never has worked right from day one. From no blog to not being able to set a picture in a frame. My site has been down for about three months now. And on limp mode 6 months before that. I went from Google search number 3 with el cheapo template then upgraded lol. Been loosing clients ever since. And unfortunately money too.
    I love the theme but dang.. I could have taken the twenty ten and modded it by now with snippets of code and be making money.

    ----------------------------------------

    Nothing works... I did every basic setup feasible including permissions. I used WP install..nothing, used backend and nothing.
    WP says I'm missing parent theme.
    I have tried putting folders everywhere they should go..nothing. I'm getting a little pizzed so forgive me.
    Websys, I sent you an email with log in credentials.
    I'm ready to just buy a different template all together. This theme has never worked right. Or I just suffered with it in limp mode. But that killed my SEO ranking to a page 13.

    I am communicating with Nutech, and he has send me one set of logins, and once I receive from him the additional info I need we will crack away at whatever is plaguing his install.
    James
    -----------------------------
    Nutech, if you are reading this, I have sent you additional messages. The login you sent me is at membership level, so I cannot diagnose anything - at membership level one does not see most of the wp admin panels, and none of the Striking panels.

    Also, i need the ftp, again with access to the domain root. Please also confirm you are using linux hosting, not windows hosting - on which Striking will not work.

    As soon as you supply these, we will take a look.

    By the way, why did you wait a year to ask for help? Anyone who follows these forums know we go into setups all the time to assist users. I don't understand the delay in requesting help, and making the negative comments without giving us first the chance to address whatever may be the issue. As thousands of users can attest, we have an excellent track record of assistance. Any time the theme is not working, as experience, and countless users can attest (including most of this thread), it is almost always a server environment variable (permissions), or install matter, or plugin conflict. FYI, cheapy themes don't have any js (Twenty Ten has not one line of js in it btw).

    We are always ready to step up to the plate to help, and would prefer that it be before someone rips the theme. If in the end we are responsible, we will own up, and we will make best efforts to fix the issue, if it is within our power to fix.

    I await the proper logins so that I can assist.
  • I just upgraded from Striking 3.x to 4.x (latest on themeforest) and saw some display issues as follows:

    - Categories: the "number" of posts within each category is skipping and showing on the following line of the actual category.

    http://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/drinks/almond-tea-recipe-good-for-cold-and-sore-throat/

    Hi James,

    Thanks for your response. I love this theme, so I realize the complexity of such a robust feature set of tools. I'm not having issues or concern with Anything slider video, just the IE Play/Pause button and FF full-screen display issues with video.

    Transposh provides 2 options for placing the widget in your site, either a widget from the Appearance panel or placing PHP code in the theme file. Do you suggest wrapping the PHP code in theme file (header.php) in [raw] tags? Transposh only comes as a plugin, as I'm unaware of another way to implement. I combined JS to reduce server load, as we've been having issues with memory, due to the intensive PHP scripts. We're on VPS and upgraded 2 days ago to increase memory. Hopefully that resolves our server out-of-memory emergency reboot issues we have been having. We haven't needed a reboot, since we upgraded, so I hope that resolved the issue. Therefor, I am afraid to turn that feature off, if it is helping our memory issue. Plus, it is getting us better grade on Google Page Speed with the JS files combined. I do not have CSS combined, as that totally wiped out Transposh from the Header Widget sidebar. Your insight is greatly appreciated.

    ~C
  • The other issue I found with Striking 4.x.x upgrade is the "read more" button of the blog. It's a bit all over the place and doesn't show consistently in one position.

    http://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/

    See the blog entries here. You'd see the button sometimes to the left of the entry, and sometimes towards the middle.

  • Hello James/KaptinLin,

    Our website has been hacked and threatened to be taken off line due to some problem vulnerability with timthumb.php

    See. http://markmaunder.com/2011/08/01/zero-day-vulnerability-in-many-wordpress-themes/

    http://markmaunder.com/2011/08/02/technical-details-and-scripts-of-the-wordpress-timthumb-php-hack/

    http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-and-cleanup-the-timthumb-hack-in-wordpress/

    i have some questions.

    1) how serious is this?
    2) Your theme uses the timthumb.php but, not the most recent. Can i overwrite it with the most recent?
    3) is this problem with timthumb solved in the latest version? as far as i can see the latest timthumb version is in version 2.8.2. whereas striking is using 2.8
    4) even with emptying the array in timthumb.php it cannot prevent a call to timthumb with params from blogger.com.villa-adios.com which could trigger something and put illegal php code in the cache folder. This was said by my hosting partner. Is this true?
    5) why not rename timthumb to something not logical...... getabike.php so it won't be recogniseable?

    What todo?


    Looking forward to your reply,

    Best regards,

    Hi Paul,

    Sorry about my absence.

    Striking replaced the older timthumb file in the Ver 4.0 release, eliminating the version of timthumb that was being hacked. The updates since version 2.8 included in Striking are 2.8.1 - which deals with remove possible errors with server protocols not matching on proxies and several small updates for dealing with misc issues culminating (such as improving Windows server support, improving the domain check and a small tweak to loading the config file) in 2.8.2.

    None of these updates deal with security issues so unless one is running an older version of Striking, I don't think the hack would be related to the timthumb file. Just to be clear, unless something new has cropped up with which I am unaware, all versions of timthumb 2.8 and greater are secure.

    Nonetheless, you can implement the newest version of timthumb right away into your site should you wish to grab it. We are going to be releasing very soon an update to Striking which includes the newest version of timthumb (although that is not the primary purpose of the Striking update).

    On point 4 I wish to confer with Lin.

    I will attempt to be in touch again on the weekend.
    Best Regards
    James

    RESOLVED
    Site is fine, had nothing to do with Striking Version 4.0.3. but host related. Is up and running great.


    Hi James. Yes my host did a restore (why i do not know) from a old backup setting my site wide open. So actually I had striking theme version 3.0.6.1 back running and that one was hacked. Once discovered it was quickly fixed.

    About point 4. Never mind i checked that one also and from v 2.8.0 timthumb you cannot call a added other domain anymore (with or without a filled website array). It was closed/fixed for good.

  • Shortcode generator pop-up not working.

    The Shortcode generator is working for directly inputing codes (like "colums") but the the Pop-up window (for "layouts" or "slidehows"). Will not work. The bottom row of buttons (cancel, preview and insert) are not working. Running Striking 4.0.3.

    I have tested this in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

    I'm working on a Mac with Os 10.6.8 and the newest versions of Safari, Firefox and Chrome.

    Including screenshot. Notice also how "with of slider" don't show any numbers.

    Hi Torstein,

    Maybe the pugins you used cause the issue. Maybe you can try de-active them then have a try.

  • Hello KaptinLin,

    Could you please look into this. It sounds like a bug in striking 4.03

    I HAD the same problem with the new shortcode generator menu,
    The CANCEL PREVIEW and INSERT buttons do not work:



    This helped for me:

    Disabling the Plugin: WPML Multilingual CMS 2.0.4.1, now it works!!

    Is there a fix for wpml 2.0.4.1 (last free version of wpml, now commercial) possible ? - 79$ for the new version is a little bit much

    Thanks a lot!
