Omega 0.9.6 – Updates

[pixeltoko]

Hi Han,

I always set my single post view to full width but now it is showing the default layout (content, sidebar). I noticed that I can still do this by adding a Custom Field: Layout and a value of 1c. My question is is there a better way to do this so I dont have to fill these fields every time.

Thank you very much for your support.

PixelToko.

@Seth, you can install Omega Options plugin to have “Header and footer options” back. I’ll fix Live CSS option shortly.

@silvio, I’ll fix it shortly, please stay tune for next version.

@ckubs, documentation is on my TODO list.

@pixeltoko, add this code into your functions.php

// Add specific CSS class by filter
add_filter('body_class','my_class_names');
function my_class_names($classes) {
	// add 'class-name' to the $classes array
	if(is_single())	$classes[] = 'page-template-full-width';
	// return the $classes array
	return $classes;
}

Then edit sidebar.php, replace
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'primary' ) && !is_page_template('page-full-width.php') ) : ?>
with
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'primary' ) && !is_page_template('page-full-width.php') && !is_single() ) : ?>

Use omega child theme is recommended.

Please note that next version of Omega will remove support for custom field Layout. The omega parent is simplified so we can create more unique child theme layout.

Thanks a lot, @han. By the way, congratulations for the theme. You’ve been doing a great job!

Hi Han,

Thank you very much for your quick response it works great!

Thanks.

Thanks Han. 🙂 I was about to make a quick comment saying “I just realized” we had to download that zip file plugin from your site, and download it onto ours to re-activate the header and footer options. My fault. I reactivated them, and they even kept the original code settings I had. Aside from that, the CSS box is about the only thing that needs fixing, or just removed altogether (from the theme).

@Han something started my interest? Do you plan to remove those? Pleaase no, don’t make the framework so light that no one will be interested in or so light that even it’s child themes wouldn’t need it :))

[ckubs]

LE: Or maybe push that thing in the new panel plugin. Since is an extremelly light plugin I think it could handle that too: “Who wants layout settings on edit screen click here, who doesn’t click here”.

You know, shrinking the feets too much will make everything fall. Today I was prepared to update my theme but now I’ll wait the next update to see in what dirrection is Omega heading: still be my dream theme or not.

Hi,
I have uploaded the plugin but am getting an error message when I try to customize and none of the omega options, any thoughts. http://www.markgrahammusic.co.uk.

@ckubs, thanks for your feedback. I found a better way dealing with child theme flexibility. Will keep the layout option.

@Lisa_Cat, The plugin requires Omega / Omega Child themes. you should activate the theme first.

Hi Han, I have Omega and Omega child themes installed and have activated them, then made child theme from church for my site, all worked brilliantly. Since the updates the Customize theme page is glitchy (https://www.dropbox.com/s/uob7dn592y85sp4/Photo%2018-04-2014%2000%2007%2022.png) see screen shot and the layout option has also stopped working I had been using content/sidebar. Any thoughts, if I cant get this resolved I’ll have to switch themes. http://markgrahammusic.co.uk/site/

@Lisa_Cat, the glitch is WP 3.9 bug, they will fix it in WP 3.9.1
