Hi Steven,

Glad you were able to switch to a subdirectory set up for your multisite configuration.

Hi Steven,

It sounds like you might need to reconfigure wildcard subdomains on Bluehost. Check out the “Setting up Wildcard Subdomains” section of this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/#wildcard

Can you verify that you have set up wildcard subdomains on your Bluehost cPanel…[Read more]

Thanks Ed, for starting this thread, and Troy for weighing in!

At the City Tech OpenLab we do this manually, but are interested in learning about plugins that others are using.

@cbox_admin – It looks like WP Grade Comments 1.4.4 was not tagged on wp.org’s SVN, so the referenced download for CBOX OpenLab does not exist: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/blob/9c92ebb5bd410eeff8bc6859b7ece90bd8d160e2/includes/openlab/plugins.php#L362.

Can you take a look?

Trying again…

Whoops, the screenshot was too large. Trying again.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for reporting this!

@cbox_admin Boone, would you be able to take a look at this? I’m able to reproduce the issue when I try to update WP Grade Comments on openlabdev.org. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Thanks!

Hi Syelle,

Thanks for finding this bug. I can confirm the problem.

I have created a new issue with a fix:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/issues/375

In the meantime, before the next release, you will need to override the /wp-content/themes/openlab-theme/sidebar-help.php file with the…[Read more]

The OpenLab theme’s strings are covered by the commons-in-a-box plugin, so you only need to translate the strings from the commons-in-a-box plugin.

Hi Syelle,

I just posted a guide here: https://commonsinabox.org/groups/openlab-help-support/forum/topic/what-is-the-correct-way-to-translate-all-cbox-openlab-texts#post-9090

Currently, it requires patching a core CBOX file due to a bug, but then you can use a plugin to easily update the various text strings used across your CBOX site.

There was a new forum topic about customizing various strings in CBOX:
https://commonsinabox.org/groups/openlab-help-support/forum/topic/how-to-update-cbox-ol-wording/

So I thought I would take a closer look at the Loco Translate plugin.

Loco Translate works quite well, but there is currently a bug in CBOX that prevents Loco Translate from…[Read more]

Hi Syelle,

None of these can be changed in the Dashboard.

@cbox_admin or @r-a-y could probably provide you with more guidance about how to make the customizations.

Thanks!

Okay, so you just want to change the URL to the “Contact Us” page? You should be able to just edit the “Contact Us” page directly from the “Pages” dashboard page and changing the page slug.

You can also access the “Contact Us” page through the “Brand Settings” page as well: https://commonsinabox.org/copy

Let us know if that is what you mean.

The “Our Support Team” widget is currently hardcoded: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/openlab-theme/blob/cc97bf7f84bd10fd8eb6dea3c1173377c1797c0c/sidebar-help.php#L34.

So this cannot be modified unless you create a child theme to override the sidebar-help.php template.

Can you tell us what you are trying to modify?

Yes, it’s possible, but this is not an admin dashboard option at this time. You’ll have to write some code so you can use your own custom default avatars.

This is where OpenLab sets the default avatar:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-openlab-core/blob/27913ac024f96dd31eac6887423650581e49820f/includes/brand-settings.php#L158-L179

In either snippet, make sure to set margin-left: 0px;

Hi Greg – when you log in to your site, your should see the “Customize” option on the top toolbar. If you don’t see it there, go to Appearance>>Customize on your dashboard.

In Customize, the last option is “Custom CSS.” Here you can override the CSS settings on your site.

Try adding either of the snippets that I provided above.

Hi Greg – Sorry for the late response. For your header image issue, the image is spilling over into the left background. I think that is why it is not minimizing correctly on mobile devices. I see this CSS:

div#icext-16f6e2e3 a, h1#icext-16f6e2e3 a {
top: 15px;
width: 512px;
height: 92px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -256px;
}
