The Aspire version can be checked by clicking the Theme Details on the Appearance page….or you can look at the style.css file. Same thing for the Genesis Framework. You should be able to hover over the theme and the Theme Details text will appear (click for the theme info).

If you need me to login and try it on your site just let me know.

It seems to be working for me. I’m not sure why it’s not showing on your end. Can you tell me what version of Aspire you’re running? Are you running the latest version of WordPress and Genesis?

Did you want to create a temporary login so I can try and upload one myself?

I don’t think I’ve done that before, but I saw this tutorial after doing a quick search – https://wpsites.net/web-design/make-a-gridcolumn-styled-blog-page-in-genesis/

For the blank Blog page, set your Homepage Displays to a Static Page, and then set your Posts page to the page you want your Blog Posts to appear. As you already know, once you add homepage widgets, the front page template will automatically show up as the home page. This is the way it’s going to be from now on due to the new Genesis 3.0/WP.

A lot has changed since the new Genesis 3.0 has been released, so there will be more updates to this theme (and others) to make sure everything is up to date and working perfectly.

Ok looks like you got it working again. Let me know if you run into any other issues.

This happened to me and a few others when updating to Genesis 3.0. I’m not sure why it started now, but I needed to make those updates anyway.

All I did was add the word Theme to the functions.php file and it started working again. It just needed to match the style.css.

Posting this here in case anyone else needs this.

To fix this, make sure the Theme name in the functions.php is exactly the same as the theme name inside the style.css.

For example: in functions.php make sure the name in this section –

//* Child theme (do not remove)
define( 'CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Aspire Pro' )

….matches the theme name in style.css –

/*
	Theme Name: Aspire Pro
	Theme URI: https://appfinite.com/shop/aspire/

The theme name can be whatever you want, just make sure they match. I had Aspire in the functions file, and Aspire Theme in the style.css of a couple themes. They’re supposed to be the same. (I’m using the Aspire theme as an example)

I will go through and make sure they match up in all of my themes and release the update today.

If you can, I’d roll back temporarily. I will have a fix soon. This issue didn’t pop up when I tested at first, but I’ll figure it out.

Working on it as we speak.

Thanks! I’m looking at this now

I was using Chrome when I did it. It’s probably just browser cache.

If you want me to add it in for you just let me know. I’ll get it working for sure. I would just need a temporary login.

Here’s what it looked like when I added it in – https://i.postimg.cc/NMSCgnLY/Screen-Shot-2019-06-04-at-2-16-10-PM.png

Is that how you wanted it to look?

Also, when you made the change did you Reload the page using the Reload button? That should clear your browser cache so it shows the latest changes.

Just checked again and I can see it’s working. It shouldn’t automatically update unless you have your WP installation setup to do so? Or maybe your host has your WP install setup to auto update? I’m not sure.

What if we just rename the theme to “Ambition Pro” in the theme files? I can edit the files from FTP info you’ve already sent over, but I’ll need a WordPress login to double check in the admin. You can create a Temporary Administrator login by going to Users > Add New.

Just let me know. I’d be happy to take a look.

It looks like WordPress tried to update this Ambition theme with another Theme that is also called Ambition. I logged in to the FTP and added the Ambition theme to the Themes folder and renamed the other theme that’s not supposed to be there so it becomes inactive.

It should be back to normal now.

This isn’t your fault. The reason this happened is because you probably got an update notification in your WP Admin for Ambition, and when you clicked update, WordPress downloaded and installed another theme with the same name (from their repository). This issue has been going on for a while now and it’s happened to many other developers/users as well – https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/16093/making-update-notification-functionality-for-my-themes

Genesis Child themes usually don’t have Automatic Update Notifications, but the Genesis Framework does. If you see a notification pop up for a child theme, check with me or the developer of the theme you’re using first to make sure.

After adding the correct theme back in, I added this to the functions file –

/**
 * Ambition Theme.
 *
 * This file adds functions to the Ambition Theme.
 *
 * @package Ambition Theme
 * @author  Appfinite
 * @license GPL-2.0-or-later
 * @link    https://appfinite.com/
 */

I’m not sure if that will prevent it from happening in the future, but we’ll see. I may just need to rename the theme so it has a unique name.

I haven’t logged into WordPress yet. I did everything through FTP.

Let me know if everything is working again.

Hi,

Can you post the link to your site so I can take a look at what needs to be done?

If you prefer not to share your link publicly make sure and check the “Private Reply” box below.

Ok, to change the shrinking effect, you can adjust the padding-top on line 1201 in your style.css –

.site-header.light {
	background-color: #000;
	padding-top: 0;
}

The padding-top reduces to 0 which is what is removing the space from the top. If you prefer to have the space removed up top and when you scroll down, then you can change the padding to 0 on line 1196 –

.front-page .site-header {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
    padding-top: 30px;
}

To set the logo size smaller, change the height to 56px on line 1255 –

.header-image .site-title > a {
    background-size: contain !important;
    display: block;
    height: 56px;
    text-indent: -9999px;
}

That will make the logo stay at 56px height both at the top and when you scroll down (when the shrinking effect kicks in).

Let me know if that helps.

It should be working now. There appears to be some sort of issue with the WooCommerce plugin when uploading updates for digital products. It’s been like this for a while now.

Give it another try and see if it shows up now.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend using the portfolio template that currently comes with Ambition as it will be removed and possibly replaced with a plugin to handle this better. As Genesis evolves, the code for the Portfolio is becoming outdated, and I’d like to put more focus on the Child theme/design. It would be better to leave the Portfolio out of the theme and use a plugin instead for the demo.

StudioPress has a Portfolio plugin that you could take a look at. I’m not sure if that would work for what you’re trying to do, but it’s worth a try.

At the time when I first started adding them to the themes there weren’t that many that existed, but now there are more than plenty to choose from.

If you’re referring to the Blog/Sidebar that shows up at the bottom, you can deactivate that by going to Customize > Front Page Content Settings and then you can turn off the setting from there.

Let me know if that helps

Hi,

If you go to your Genesis Settings page, scroll down until you see “Headers and Scripts”. You can paste your analytics code inside the Header box.

Let me know if that helps.

Are you trying to import the Aspire Widget content using the Widget Importer plugin?

If so, can you check to see if the widget content is showing up in the inactive/unused section?

Where are the lines located?
