One of the great applications of this is when you need to cut the title so it could fit into the container. What kind of scenario am I talking about? For example, if you created a theme where you have columns and would like to limit the number of characters so that huge title or description does not push one element few pixels down, making the whole thing look uneven.

Even though you can always use some JavaScript code, allowing you to calculate the height of the highest column and then apply that CSS to all the columns, perhaps in some situations a better idea is to cut the title or description.

The reason for this is that if the title or content is really huge, you would have lots of empty space within other blocks, not much to the benefit of design.

Let me show you how you can easily trim the title (and you could apply this to any type of content).

$title_pr = get_the_title();		
if (strlen($title_pr) <=63) {
  echo $title_pr;
} else {
  echo substr($title_pr, 0, 63) . '...';
}

In case you’re asking why did I use strlen(), the reason is that I don’t want to have “…” if the title is shorter than desired number of characters (in this case 63).

If you used any of the child theme configurators, there is a big chance that child theme didn’t work or didn’t import styles.

In that case, don’t hesitate to download this child theme which should work

But I’ve got a quick trick for you – version your file! As you already know, the proper way to enqueue style or script in WordPress is the following:

wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( ), '1.0.0');

The number 1.0.0 is the style version which is not always included. If you want to make sure that after every cache purging the new version is loaded, you only have to change the version number. So if you put something like:

wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( ), '1.0.1');

after you have added new changes into style.css and if clear the cache after that, the new CSS version will be loaded immediately and a ton of your nerves (and your clients’ nerves) will be saved.

You’re welcome!

(yes, this happened to me, well, countless times…)

But if you’re not inclined to purchase WMPL, but still need this feature, I only found it within Polylang plugin (when talking about free WordPress plugins). The plugin itself comes with very useful and generous function reference where you will also find the following function

pll_current_language($value);

This function returns the current language, making it useful in the following way:

<?php $currentlang = pll_current_language();
if($currentlang=="en"):?>
    <h1>ENGLISH</h1>
<?php elseif($currentlang=="ar"):?>
    <h1>ARABIC</h1>
<?php endif; ?>

This allows you to create your own conditions based on current language code, making Polylang great free alternative to WPML.

In this particular case, we are checking if we are on locations custom post type or on the archive of that CPT.

Several people have asked about this on official Visual Composer website, but they only gave short answers which may be difficult to grasp for whoever isn’t a programmer. In short, this is how you do it – please note that this works for versions up to 4.x.x so if this is not working for versions 5.x.x (version 5 is not yet released as of this writing, nor there are any special information about it, but just to be on the safe side), feel free to post in the comments so I could remove this article. But until then, I hope some of you will find it useful.

So this is how it goes:

First, you’ll want to put the following code into functions.php of your parent or child theme:

function remove_vc_scripts(){
wp_enqueue_script('prettyphoto' );
wp_deregister_script('prettyphoto' );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_vc_scripts', 100 );

After you have done it, prettyPhoto is disabled. Now it’s time to pick another lightbox and this is one of the solutions I definitely recommend – Responsive Lightbox by dFactory. But given that VC adds rel=”prettyPhoto” attribute, you’ll want to set the new lightbox like this, making sure that you name the correct Selector:

That’s it!
