You edited a page through the Text editor, but when you switch to Visual editor, some of the HTML you added changes or is removed.
This is known to happen specifically when adding Bootstrap Collapsible Accordion Menus and anchors but may happen with other bits of code as well.
If you add a collapsible accordion menu to your page through the text editor, it deletes the following line of code from every panel:
<a class="collapsed" href="#PanelID" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion">It also deletes the corresponding </a>. Note that this <a> tag wraps each .panel-heading div.
Sometimes when you add an anchor on a page, it will later disappear. This does not happen all the time but it appears to happen by either adding an anchor in the Visual editor, switching to text editor, and switching back to Visual, or adding an anchor in the text editor and switching to Visual.
Because there is no known solution for this issue, the best thing to do would be to avoid going back into Visual editor on any page that has a collapsible accordion menu/anchor. If you do go into Visual editor, you could do one of two things:
If the above suggestions do not solve your issue or you’ve found other code that the Visual editor alters, please email us at webdev@uconn.edu.
You’ve inserted a permalink to one page on your site that is supposed to lead to another page on your site. However, when you click the permalink it brings you to a ‘Page not found’ page.
If you come across this issue, please email us at webdev@uconn.edu and include a link to your site.
You have made changes to a page and clicked ‘Publish’, but when you view the page the changes you’ve made are not there.
First, try clearing the cache on the page. To do this, go to the page’s editing screen. Then in the Publish section, click Purge from cache.
If this doesn’t fix the issue, please email us at webdev@uconn.edu and include a link to the page that is not updating.
Cornerstone is a bare-bones theme created to be developed upon. It is possible to create your own theme built upon cornerstones structure. We welcome you to play with the sources files.
The Cornerstone Child Theme Starter Kit is available to help developers get a new project running quickly. You can access it on GitHub.
The SASS variables available to you come from three possible documents. Cornerstone registers a large number of new variables mostly pertaining to navigation and widgets.
In order to make changes, you will have to edit style.scss using the SASS variables. You will also need a SASS compiler. A common one is PREPROS.
Once you have a general understanding of the variables and the file structure you can start editing variables.scss. This file contains listed default variables from both Bootstrap and Cornerstone. A change is simple: search for your target tag and change the attribute to whatever you would like it to be.
To change the default link color for the navigation bar you would have to scroll down to the “$navbar” variables and make the changes you would like.
In order to edit the style of your theme you will need to edit it using SASS in style.scss. Variables do not go in style.scss.
Below is an example of how you can change the style of your theme’s master header.
Cornerstone was built with SASS, but you can still develop with normal CSS.
Instead, add this to your functions.php file:
<?php
function link_parent_theme_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'link_parent_theme_style');
?>
Typically, a child theme will @import the css of the parent theme. Bootstrap 3, the framework which Cornerstone is based on, offers very limited support for Internet Explorer 8. By default, a Bootstrap 3 site in IE8 will render the mobile view. One column of content, and the collapse mobile navigation.
Being that IE8 accounts for a sizable (~7%) of traffic on Aurora, Cornerstone makes use of respond.js, which uses javascript to mimic media queries for IE8. However, respond.js will not work on anything loaded via @import. So this alternate method is required.
Hale 2015 was a theme released in August 2015 as a part of Aurora Update 9. The bold blue Sherman theme was released in the summer of 2014, and its advanced features and customization options proved very popular. However, a number of customers requested a theme with all the functionality of Sherman but with the softer tones of the original Hale theme that was released in 2013. Hale 2015 addresses this issue, adapting the popular Hale design and keeping the powerful features of Sherman. A child of the Cornerstone theme, Hale 2015 will continue to benefit from all new features added to Aurora for years to come.
