• Template:
  • Large: the player is always open and sticky to bottom
  • Default: the player closes to icon, and opens on hover or while loading albums
• Autoplay is not available anymore as is blocked by the browsers (no tonly chrome): https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
• Track waveform: build a full song waveform. Is stored in the database onnce calculated the first time.
  
• Music spectrum: the waves effect. It can work only with mp3 tracks uploaded in the same domain, otherwise the browser is not allowed to “read” the music spectrum and the music won’t play. If you plan on adding track URLs from other domains, external repositories like s3, cloud, cloudflare or anything else, you can’t use spectrum analisys.
• Since the player version 3.0.4 you can change any player color in the WordPress Customizer
• High Quality FX: this effect is way cooler but also heavier, so if you experience performance drops, specially in conjunction with complex video backgrounds, disable this feature.

CUSTOMIZING THE PLUGIN

MailChimp for WordPress comes with many filter & action hooks which allow you to modify the default plugin behavior. We’re also maintaining a collection of common code snippets for MailChimp for WordPress.

Official documentation: https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/

IMPORTANT:

To correctly build contact forms using this theme, follow these rules:

• Wrap the fields in a div input-field
• add a “for” to the labels
• do NOT wrap the field in the labels
• always add the ID to the fields with same value as the field name
• add classes to the submit for correct styling

Default fields structure is BAD:

<label>
<input tyle=”text” name=””>
</label>

Example form with correct structure:


<div class="input-field">
[text* your-name id:your-name]
<label for="your-name">First Name</label>
</div>

[submit "Send" class:qt-btn class:qt-btn-l class:qt-btn-primary]

 

VERY IMPORTANT: if you are logged as admin, the pages will load normally, for an easier page administration.

Compatibility with 3rd party plugins:

Is important to know that all the plugins and functions provided with the theme are compatible with ajax page loading, but if you want to integrate external plugins, they are sometimes badly programmed, and they may not work in conjunction with ajax loading.

If, while installing a custom plugin, it doesn’t work on ajax load (it only works for example after refreshing the page) it means that plugin is NOT compatible with ajax page loading, therefore you may need to consider one among 3 possibilities:

• Look for a compatible plugin
• Disable ajax page loading (this will disable autoplay as well)
• Hire a developer to make the plugin work with ajax loading. You will need to add the callbacks to the qt-main.js file of the theme.

Disable ajax for a particular link:

If you have a custom link or button to another page and you want the URL to load normally, just add #noajax to the url

Disable ajax for a menu item:

To disable ajax loading for a particular menu item, in case it is a local link ot because the destination page has certain features that requires plain loading, you can add the noajax class to the item itself.

1. Enable classes in the Screen Settings
2. Edit the link
3. Add noajax as link class

Please note: this feature is available only since 29 July 2018 (QT Kentha Ajax Pageload V 1.2.4)
