Phone Text Color In Mobile Browsers

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:31:49 +0000

The text color in all browsers is determined by the link color settings in the LBSB Control Panel.
In mobile browsers you may want to change the link color from the default link color to prevent the default link color from displaying.

The only way of changing that is through the CSS style link color control as mentioned above. The other way would be to disable the click to call link function so that it shows as normal text.

Try placing this html meta tag before the phone number:

Code:

If you want to retain say a "click to call" link function but wish to change the link color to a different one for the site overall, you can insert an extra in-line html styling snippet such as:

Code:

Click To Call

Note: replace #FF0000 with your hex color of choice!

Making home pages fit all screen sizes?

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:13:33 +0000

One of the downsides of creating an above the fold site (where 100% of page content appears within the browser view without scrolling) is that the home page or featured panel pages will be just right in the average monitor browser (14" to 15"), too big in 10" to 11" and too small with lots of white space below in bigger screens such as some bench-tops and of course 26" and 32" Mac style monitor set ups.

The only way of combating this... which is a good idea,..to use the "featured panel +content" template and create some content below the fold so to speak. Bearing in mind that the only folks that'll really see the extra content (without scrolling) will be the bigger screen resolution viewers.
Therefore you could place information in there which either is a repeat or overview of the main featured content, or other content that isn't so critical that you need first time visitors to essentially view it.
You can also achieve this objective by placing more content in the "featured text" panel so that the page is extended down further to occupy any white space.

Unfortunately there are no scripts that detect the size and resolution of the site visitor's monitor and thus have it then make an intelligent adjustment. That does happen with mobile but only via the "user-agent=" detection script that tells us when the browser is either iPhone or Samsung or Blackberry or whatever,- in which case the mobile version of the site gets served.

Hope that helps you obtain deeper understanding and more control.

Disappearing editor control in WordPress pages editor

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:04:58 +0000

If you encounter a situation where the visual/html page editor does not show up or work properly then you should read the solution below:

html/visual is a function of WordPress and nothing to do with nor controlled by themes. If you go into WP-admin and select Users/Your Profile/ You'll see right at the top of the page in "Personal Options" an entry field that says: "Visual Editor [] Disable the visual editor when writing"
If that box is checked you will lose control in your editor.
Apart from that,.. sometimes it can be caused by a plugins conflict in which case you can try installing an independent mce editor from the free WP plugins directory called "tinymceAdvanced" and that should do the job!

WordPress Multi Site Compatability

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:03:35 +0000

Localbiz Site Builder has not been specifically designed to use with WP Multi-Site and as such we're not able to provide direct product support in that regard. However, the original foundation framework that LBSB was built on a very staple and standard type of WP theme although we have applied massive customization work since inception.

Personally I do not like the concept of hive type configurations because I previously encountered some serious database issues and eventual near impossibility when it came to transporting any sites within the hive.
Having said that, the current WP Multi-Site system is built upon the same principles of the WPMU framework which is a very stable system to work with.
In fact, we know that many of our members have used LBSB in a Multi Site environment and we have never had any complaints saying that the site manager ever had any problems.

This is the forum thread to share any of your issues, successes or whatever with regards to using LBSB with WP Multi-Site.

Disappearing CTA Arrow/Box

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:53:44 +0000

If you find that your CTA arrow/box in the right side featured panel disappeared then that could be because you somehow placed a widget in the header widget area.
As soon as you place any widget in the header it removes and replaces the Arrow.
This is good when you want to use a graphic or a video via a text box widget but otherwise just remove the unwanted widget and your CTA arrow/box will miraculously reappear ;-)

Fatal Error Notice Upon Installation

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:50:21 +0000

When you have installed Localbiz Site Builder and activated it you if you see an error message as follows then that indicates that your hosting company does not have Ioncube Uploaders installed or activated.

In vast majority of cases (at least 95%+) all modern hosts have Ioncube Uploaders installed which enables the reading of encrypted files. In the event that your host has not facilitated this then you will get the error message. Godaddy is one such company that will not comply with this industry standard. This can be rectified but it is highly recommended that you seek out a hosting company that complies with the standard rather than dictate their own terms and unwillingness to comply and support.

The error message you will see should look something like this below:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_theme() in /home/services/public_html/wp-content/themes/LocalBizLBSB/functions-base.php on line 1622

In the event that you encounter such an error message please contact your hosting company to request activation of Ioncube Uploaders. If they refuse, you may submit a ticket and we will discuss the matter with your further.

ABOUT IONCUBE:
Ioncube is a file encryption system for the protection of PHP files (from copying and piracy). WP-LocalBiz files are protected by Ioncube. Most hosting companies have ioncube installers configured on their servers but if not then you will get an error message. If that happens we recommend contacting your host and asking them to install the ioncube installers (which are freely available as they would know) or alternatively you can upload the included folder containing the ioncube installers to your site directory.

How to remove Skype phone number auto-formatting

Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:47:47 +0000

The skype image is something that is configured by your browser (Firefox & IE usually does this). When the browser sees any phone number it automatically adds a CSS style value to create a default logo style for the phone number. You can remedy this by doing a couple of things.

1) install a plugin that removes autoformatting:
