I am working with a site using the Microsoft Developer Program. I am able to use the new Change the look feature on modern Communication sites to adjust the theme.
I created a theme using Powershell
I created a Communicators site and selected the Custom theme and used a PowerShell cmdlet to set that site as the homepage. I am still able to change the theme on that site by going to Settings > Change the look > Theme. The default and custom theme appear in the menu to select.
I attempted to follow the instructions on creating a Site Design to test out the feature of potentially exploring site designs. I ran into some issues of the feature I was attempting to use was not supported yet. I did not create any site designs. I use the Get_SPOSiteDesign cmdlet and nothing is returned.
I then created another communications site. I was just going to build these one at a time since Site designs did not meet my goal. I wanted to change the theme to the Custom theme, I go to Settings > Change the look > Theme and it closes the Change the look menu in the panel and returns me to the Settings panel.
I am able to go to Settings > Change the look > Header, Navigation and Footer successfully. Only the Theme option causes this error. I am unable to change the theme.
I used a PowerShell cmdlet to ensure the themes were not hidden, Set-SPOHideDefaultThemes $false. This is set.
I then created a second, third a fourth Communications site (using the Topic, Showcase and Blank designs) and the same error above occurs not being able to access the theme menu.
I then created a Team site. I am able to access the Theme and change to the Custom theme or one of the default selections.
I need help as to why new Communication sites I create in my environment will not allow me to access the theme menu, but homesites and team site do allow this. What do I need to do to correct this?
I too am coming across the same issue. I have attempted it in difference browsers and in incognito to verify it wasn't an extension or browser specific issue. Have you discovered a resolution or opened a ticket yet?
We have the same issue on our tenant and have opened a ticket a MS support. They confirmed that this a bug and are going to solve it.
For now we have a workaround via PNP Powershell.
When you set the theme first via Set-PnPWebTheme -Theme "Custom Theme", the option to modify the theme via the browser works again.

Is there any way that i can do it for whole site?
For individual user instance, Go to user account settings > Preferences > Author mode, select classicUI
more info here: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-3/author/author-environment/user-properties.html#Account Settings
Alternatively, to have all users of an AEM instance use the Classic UI by default, start off by going to the AEM Web Console Configuration (/system/console/configMgr). Make sure you’re signed in as an admin and do a find for “WCM Authoring UI Mode Service.” If the service is not visible, click on the OSGi button at the top followed by Configuration, and then do another find. Click on “WCM Authoring UI Mode Service” and change the “Default authoring UI mode” to “CLASSIC” (or back again to “TOUCH,” depending on what you want to do). You must enter “CLASSIC” or “TOUCH” in uppercase letters or an error message will show up when opening a site. Changing this setting will make the chosen UI the default for all sites of the AEM instance. When opening a site with /siteadmin, or /sites.html/content, the site should now open using the Classic UI. This should be the case for all users.
I have created control panel theme following bootstrap standards. For some reason, we are using liferay 6.1 which doesn't provide responsiveness and hence has to be taken care of.
As we know control panel contains many pages e.g: MyAccount, User Administartion e.t.c.
As of now,these pages are looking fine with the old theme(non-bootstrap).
As and when I update these pages to bootstrap standards, I want to be able to apply bootstrap control panel theme for them.
Question here is - How do I apply old theme for MyAccount Page and bootstrap theme for User Administration page. Is there some property file that I need to update?
I did my research but couldn't find anything substantial.
Please let me know if I need to be more specific about the query.
I'm currently in the process of building a wordpress multi-site for a client. I've completed aspect #1, which was creating Theme-1. Theme-1 was built utilizing excessive amounts of the AdvancedCustomFields PLUGIN.
I'm working to build Theme-2, this one is the primary theme that will be utilized for all of the sub-sites created through the multi-site option. The issue I'm having is that the AdvancedCustomFields are no longer an option, I need to build all of the customization into the functions.php file directly.
Is it possible to create custom fields through the theme directly - without utilizing a plugin?
I need the theme pages to have "Left Side" "Right Side" "Footer" as WYSIWYG editors. So if someone goes to create a new page all of these field settings are there by default.
Is this possible?
It's possible, using the wp_editor function to get the WYSIWYG functionality. See this question on the WordPress stackexchange site. It's demonstrated as a plugin, but you could just as easily put the code in your theme.
I have developed a front-end system plugin for Joomla 3.0 which replaces keywords for HTML formatted objects. This works perfectly in my local lab environment but when installed on the hosted site (WHM/cPanel) it causes issues with the administration area and prevents the administrators from editing the articles.
When the administrator clicks on a article to edit the page attempts to load then appears to go back to the same page. I have developed this as a front-end plugin only so I shouldn't affect the administration area.
The problem is also preventing admin from creating anything new (news, blogs, content, menu items etc.)
As this does not happen within my lab I can only assume the issue is with some server settings which I may need to enable/disable. I have complete administrative access to both WHM, cPanel and Joomla so can change settings where ever needed...
Things I have observed:
The article URL changes from:
/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=7
to:
/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=7
when the plugin is enabled. Notice the ampersand has changed to amp;. This makes me think it could be something to do with UTF-8 character encoding has been set in MySQL to utf8general_ci.
Any pointers on configurations I may need to change would be greatly received.
Question: How do I prevent this from occurring (without removing my essential plugin).
If you create System Plugin that should work only on front-end you have to check in your plugin if current page is front-end. You can do it using this function: JFactory::getApplication()->isSite() or JFactory::getApplication()->isAdmin()
Example usage (I assume you use onAfterRender event):
function onAfterRender() {
// Exit if current page is from Administration panel
if( JFactory::getApplication()->isAdmin() ) return;
/* your plugin main code goes here*/
}
It will prevent your plugin from modifying administration panel output. If you already done it and it does check like it should to, there is no way that reason of your problems is that plugin.
I have installed both author and publish instances of CQ5.5 on my PC. But when I add a new page and publish it, it does not appear in the publish instance. Only a blank page is rendered.
I have tried activating it both from the siteadmin and from the Replication page in Tools. Only the navigation item appears in the Publish instance.
I checked the Request logs also. But it only gives a
200 response(OK)
Can someone please help me on this ?
You need to activate/replicate your /apps/site folder where all of your templates and components are located to push it from your author instance to your publish instance. Activating a page doesn't automatically activate the components and templates it uses.
Go to:
http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/treeactivation.html
Browse to or type /apps/[your site] in the path field
Set the check boxes to fit what you want to activate (Unchecking all will make everything under the selected path activate)
Click 'Dry Run' to see what will get activated without actually activating. (This is more of an informative step to help ensure you don't activate something not intended in a production setting)
Click 'Activate' to activate.
You can then check your publish instance to see your templates and code are there.
It is easy to miss activating your apps folder as there is no ui like the website admin for pages where you can activate.
Activating a page/folder/asset does not activate sub-pages/folders/assets. This can cause confusion especially when working with folders.
Generally if you need to activate a tree the best way is to use the tree activation utility
The only time I've ever seen this is when the code is not installed. That would be the first thing that I'd check. Go to (assuming you have your publisher on port 4503)
http://localhost:4503/crx/de
You should have your the code in /apps and you should be able to find the content page in /content too.
The reason this happens is that the sling:resourceType property points to a component that doesn't exist so it uses the default which is an empty output.
You have to build the code to both the environments (author as well as publish). This way both the environments will have the same copy of source code installed in the form of cq5 packages and felix bundles. Then if you create a new page or drop any component on any existing page, it will appear the same on publish environment after activating the same either through 'Activate Page' link in sidekick or through replication tree activation page.
