March 6, 2018 at 7:00 am #1095504Hi,
I’ve noticed there’s a lot of wasted white space at the bottom of the Featured Articles (homepage) and Category Blogs (menu items) on my website: https://www.tallandtrue.com.au
When I use Web Inspector (on Safari) I can see a CSS setting for min-height of 646px on the Home page (see attached screenshot). If I deselect this setting in Web Inspector, then the white space is removed.
For the Fiction menu item (https://www.tallandtrue.com.au/fiction/), the min-height setting is 842px. Again, if I deselect this the excess white space is removed.
I can’t find a setting for this in the CSS files, so I assume it’s dynamically worked out by the display routines. Could you please advise how this can be resolved?
I updated Joomla and the template and plugins to the latest version today and the problem still exists.
Please note, my template uses a custom PHP you provided where blog.php calls blog_leading.php or blog_item.php to display either the full image or intro image for the featured and category blog articles.
Regards, Robertf

March 7, 2018 at 4:25 am #1095691Hi,
I also have a testing/staging environment for my website: http://staging.robertfairhead.com
On this website, I don’t have any whitespace problems on the Feature Articles (homepage) or Category Blog (menu items).
On this website, versions of Joomla and Joomlart template/plug-ins and other components/plug-ins were not current:
Joomla! 3.8.2
JA Magz II Template 1.0.4
Plugin JA Content Type 1.1.1I went through and made sure all other components/plug-ins etc were updated. There was still no white space problems as with the live website. I then updated Joomla to 3.8.5 and again, no white space.
Next I updated the JA template and plug-in. Again, no problems with white space, BUT it overwrote the custom PHP you provided where blog.php calls blog_leading.php or blog_item.php to display either the full image or intro image for the featured and category blog articles.
So, I applied the custom changes AND still the white space is not displaying as it does on the live website.
Hopefully this helps you address and resolve my support query.
Regards, Robertf

March 7, 2018 at 4:42 am #1095699Hi,
You can override this by CSS:
.leading-main, .leading-sidebar { min-height: 650px !important; }
put into the file: root/templates/ja_magz_ii/css/custom.css (Create this file if it doesn’t exist)
and change to the value which suits your need.

March 7, 2018 at 6:31 am #1095715Hi Saguaros,
An update. Your CSS override didn’t work. However, in answering my own question on whether min-height is dynamically set (yes, by script.js), I discovered the problem was caused by JCH Optimize Pro.
If I disabled the plug-in, min-height was correctly calculated and there was no extra white space. In the end, I added ja_magz-ii/js/script.js to the plug-in’s exclusion settings and this also worked as if the plug-in was disabled.
HOWEVER, while doing all this, I’ve now noticed since yesterday’s upgrade I’ve lost Font Awesome settings. For instance, the social buttons and search icon in the header and the arrows for More in Category in the featured articles sections.
I’ve tried disabling JCH Optimize, I’ve cleared all the caches, I’ve cleared the browser caches (Safari and Mozilla), but nothing’s worked.
Could you PLEASE have a look at this for me asap?
Thanks, Robertf

March 7, 2018 at 6:47 am #1095722Further update, Saguaros. Excluding script.js lead to JQuery errors, so I’ve had to disable the JCH Optimize plug-in. Still no sign of the Font Awesome icons … which is NOT awesome! 🙁

March 7, 2018 at 10:05 am #1095776Could someone please answer me!? I have lost Font Awesome icons on my live website having updated Joomla, Joomlart template and plug-ins and all other plug-ins to the latest release.
What do I need to do to get back the functional, like social and search icons in the header?
BTW, I pay an annual subscription of $67 for JATC Membership and I’m beginning to wonder why?
Regards, Robertf

March 8, 2018 at 10:10 am #1095992Sorry Saguaros, you guys have taken too long to respond to my query. I’ve had to reinstall and reset the admin links. I’ll sort it out by myself and I won’t be re-subscribing for template support.
Regards,
