Hey,
In your theme options > main settings. Set the header style to standard. Then below in your “logo layout” choose the 4th option.

Next go to appearance> widgets and use the header widget area to add your social icons.

I found their log in status widget that can be added to sidebar or home area. But don’t want that. Want to simply have a log off button on my main nav bar to redirect to public homepage (http://www.waterstone.celebratingyourjourney.com). Don’t want to create a log off page (which is what they instruct other places in their tips). I did create pages for their log in, reset, change features, using their shortcodes, which is fine for now. And they all work. But for the log off all I want is a button on menu bar. But where would I put code in menu button? or theme function.php? or somewhere else? Any help is appreciated.

WP-Members trying to help but having a hard time understanding them. Here is what they sent me to:

http://rocketgeek.com/tips-and-tricks/redirecting-wordpress-login-and-logout-urls/ –

This process makes use of some little known and little used WordPress filters, login_url, logout_url, and register_url. These can be used to direct any call to wp_login_url(), wp_logout_url(), or wp_registration_url() to the locations you want to direct to.

logout_url:

First, a logout filter. The logout_url hook will allow you to filter the url the user is directed to when they logout. With WP-Members, if you direct to any page in the site with the querystring ?a=logout the logout function will be executed. (If you want the user to be redirected to a specific URL AFTER they logout, that is something for the wpmem_logout_redirect filter.)

A couple notes about the URL you redirect to: It should be obvious that you’ll need to make this appropriate to your domain. Also, I set this example based on WordPress being located in the root of your site. If you are running WP in a subdirectory you might have to adjust accordingly.

add_filter( ‘logout_url’, ‘my_logout_url’ );
function my_logout_url( $url ) {
return ‘http://yourdomain.com/?a=logout’;
}

Hey,
One option would be to use a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/widgets-on-pages/

Then add your slider as a shortcode and the shortcode for that widget area right after. That will give you a widget area that you can control above your content.

Another option is just to use pagebuilder. (use a fullwidth feature template) Then in your second row you can add your widgets into a column like you have in your sidebar.

Hey david,

It looks like you’ve got an empty page builder row right there, or one with a widget that is not functioning. Take a look at the back end for that page and see what is missing that should be there. From the looks of it, it seems that you’re missing your API for google maps, which is preventing a map from loading in that area. If you’d like to retrieve your api for google maps, then you can follow the steps outlined here:
https://www.kadencewp.com/retrieving-google-maps-api/

Let me know if that’s helpful for you.

Thanks for this Ben. It worked.

1. I added/activated the “User Shortcodes” plugin,
2. I enabled the widget area right of top bar (Dashboard >Theme options >Topbar settings),
3. Added a SiteOrigen widget to the widget area (Dashboard >Appearance >Widgets),
4. Added my welcome message with the short code (Text view)

works perfectly.

Thanks for all your help Ben. much appreciated.

Hey,
You can download the theme from here at any time: https://www.kadencewp.com/my-account/my-api-downloads/

It is always virtue_premium.zip

If you use a browser like safari then that browser would auto extract your zip file into a folder if you already have a “virtue_premium” folder then it would be forced to add a number after but you shouldn’t have any reason to extract and you can turn that off in the safari browser.

When you update if you had differnet file names that would cause all your menus and widgets to reset. (which currently on your site it looks like all your widgets are in the “inactive” widget area instead of in your widget boxes.

It’s crucial that you not use differnet folder names for the theme. I have set the current theme with the correct folder name as active in your account. You don’t need to change that and you don’t need to manually update just simply update from inside wordpress (which will be an option now that your folder name is correct).

AS of right now you need to move your inactive widgets into the correct active widget areas, I can’t do this for you becuase I don’t know what you had previously but note that you don’t need to remake any widget just drag it from the inactive area (below where you see all the widgets you can make) to the correct widget area.

Choose the sidebar page template and add your widget into the sidebar area.

3. Try this CSS:

#nav-main ul.sf-menu .current-menu-item a {
    text-decoration: underline;
}

4. If you want that to show in the sidebar, you can try placing a visual editor widget into your sidebar widget area, and pasting the code there. You can set the side that your sidebar displays on in Theme Options> Main Settings. if you only want the sidebar left on that page, that’s something you can accomplish with CSS.

Hopefully this is helpful.

You need to create a widget area :

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes

function custom_widgets_init() {

	register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => 'Header Left',
		'id'            => 'header_left_widget_area',
		'before_widget' => '<div>',
		'after_widget'  => '</div>',
		'before_title'  => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title'   => '</h3>',
	) );

}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'custom_widgets_init' );

Then you need to hook that into the header left side:

function custom_header_widget_left() {
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'header_left_widget_area' ) ) :
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header_left_widget_area' );
endif;
}
add_action( 'kt_before_left_header_content', 'custom_header_widget_left' );

Hello Hannah. The YouTube Channel Gallery plugin that is used in the widget on the Footer uses the Google API as well. I tried creating a second API and use the second one for the Theme but it still doesn’t show up. What’s interesting is that I have the same setup for the test version of the website and the map works fine without putting any API in the Theme Misc area. I can open up the test website if you need to see it.

Thank you.

Hey Benjamin,
There is an option for a header widget area, but it requires you use the standard header style. Otherwise you would need to edit the theme files and use a child theme.

If you go to Theme Options > Main Settings the fourth image beside Logo Layout (Standard Header only) has a header widget area. Enable that. Then go to Appearance > Widgets and add the search widget to your header widget area. Let me know once you’ve done that and I can help with css to stretch and position it.

Hello Ben, I’m having a problem with the map not showing up on my contact page. I have tried several options that are mentioned below.
1. Adding the Google Maps API to the Theme Misc area – No solution (even though not having this box populated on another website and the map works.)
2. Creating a new API – No solution
3. Adding a specific HTTP to the accept requests from these HTTP referrers (web sites) – No solution
4. Tried different browsers – It shows up on my mobile device but then shows a France address.
5. Cleared website cache both from the website itself and on Cloudflare – No solution
6. Disabled Store Locator which actually works fine – No solution
7. Disable cache plugin – No solution
8. Add a Virtue Google Map widget to the footer widget area – Both maps (Contact and the widget in the footer) shows up perfectly.

Why would the map only show up when there is another map on the screen? Weird…. The map worked fine in the past but since I don’t check the Contact Us page of the website after every update I don’t know when it stopped showing up in the first place. Please help.
The website name will be in the next post.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Jenny,
There isn’t a built in option for this. A workaround would be to enable your header widget layout (theme options > main settings) then add a search widget to your header widget area (appearance > widgets). Then you can use css to stretch the search widget and place it how you want. Would that work for you? If you add the widget I could help with css.

You should be able to rename the widget where you added it in Appearance> Menus.

Go into your sidebar widget area, open up that widget, and there should be the option to set the title there.

Let me know if you’re able to find it.

In Appearance> Menus, you can create as many menus as you like, and in Appearance> Widgets, you can assign a custom menu to any of your footer widget areas.

Your footer navigation can be assigned separately in Appearance> Menus as well.

Have you tried this?
