Hi – just installed your plugin after seeing a link on the artisteer forum.
I’ve installed the plugin and the blank artisteer theme & am trying to edit my current artisteer wp theme.
I can see all the styles & edit options listed, but when I try to change something simple, like the background colour etc. nothing seems to change. Anything else I should know?
I’m sorry to hear things aren’t currently working as expected. Three things come to mind:
– There may be a mismatch with the behind-the-scenes CSS selectors if you have changed the default “.art-” CSS prefix. This tutorial explains the issue and provides a fix: https://themeover.com/artisteer-with-art-css-prefix-removed-customized/
– Another Artisteer user just reported problems with using Microthemer on Artisteer Themes built with the aid of the Templateer addon. I intend to get to the bottom of why this may be. But at the moment I’m still working on a diagnosis. I’ll write back here when I’ve sussed it.
– You may need to enable !important on Microthemer’s preferences page. Some Artisteer styles are defined with !important and the only way to override them is to enable !important declarations in Microthemer. However, that would only affect a select few elements. If you’re noticing problems on all elements something else is probably the cause.
If none of the above issues are relevant to your situation, I’d be happy to take a look at your site if you can provide me with a link (and login details – if you feel comfortable doing that, please email to our support@ email address).
Thanks Sebastian – re-assuring there’s somebody out there.
Yes, we do use the templateer on most of our sites. I’ll try the “!” important thing.
It’s tricky as this is the first time we’ve tried your plugin, so not sure how things are supposed to work.
OK, there was a javascript name conflict that caused the colorpicker to not work properly with Templateer aided Artisteer Themes. This problem is now fixed in Microthemer 1.1.8.
Hi. First of all congratulations! I am really happy with this purchase. As I can imagine I only can use an artisteer or 2011 themes and the other blancs you provide. The thing is I NEED to insert my logo and I don´t see the possibility to do it with in any of the blanc themes available. Can you suggest me a way to do it?
Regards
You can add a logo to your theme by giving an element (e.g. your site title) a background image – and some padding to make room for the background image.
