Changing From rehub theme
6 replies · Started by Mouse on May 11, 2020
I have bought the theme but I am not uploading it yet as I am changing the theme form Rehub to GP. I have 2 questions:
1- I have alot of posts with alot of buttons in there. They look something like this: [wpsm_button color="btncolor" size="big" link="#" icon="none" class="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"]View on Amazon[/wpsm_button]
Now the problem is I would have to change them one by one and it would take me days max. Is there a way I can add something to make these buttons work?
2- In a similar manner, almost all of my featured images are sized 1000x400 do I have to change them all?
Hi there,
1. The [wpsm_button] shortcode - is this added by the Theme or a Plugin?
2. This shouldn't be a problem.
The best thing to do is to create a Staging site copy of your live site, then you can switch themes and see what breaks or needs fixing before pushing the changes to a live site
Yes the [wpsm_button] is from the previous theme and there are alot of those in my website. So Need to do something that works here...
And what do you mean by staging... like testing it out on a different domain name?
You may need to hire a developer to replace the missing shortcode. It shouldn't be too difficult as the code for it should be in the old themes functions.php file.
Most Hosts offer a staging environment - generally they just make clone of your TLD on a sub-domain or sub folder eg.
myoriginalsite.com -> staging.myoriginalsite.com
The is allows you to edit the staging site and when you're done making changes they can 'push' those changes to the live site
Can I give the file to you? If you can have a quick look at it... Otherwise I will just go ahead and do it manually.
That's not something we can do unfortunately.
Okay no problem
