Custom Shortcode Templates

For example, the [title] shortcode template is located at adventure-tours/templates/shortcodes/title.php. You can modify shortcode templates as well as create new ones and use them to your needs.

For example, to modify [contact_info] shortcode, do the following:

1. Copy the file located at /wp-content/themes/adventure-tours/languages/adventure-tours.pot to /wp-content/languages/themes/adventure-tours-fr_FR.po.
2. Download and install the program called POEdit.
3. Open the copied file /wp-content/languages/themes/adventure-tours-fr_FR.po with POEdit program.
4. Start translating. When you are finished, save the file and check that the file /wp-content/languages/themes/adventure-tours-fr_FR.mo has been generated.
5. Go to Settings > General and scroll to the bottom, select Français from the Site Languages dropdown, press Save Changes.

Now you should have your theme translated into your language!

Troubleshooting
If you don't see your changes on the site, please check following:

• check that you uploaded your files to /wp-content/languages/themes/ folder and not to /wp-content/themes/adventure-tours/languages/ folder;
• check that you file has correct name like adventure-tours-{fr_FR}.po and adventure-tours-{fr_FR}.mo. {fr_FR} ("{" and "}" symbols just to show part that should be corrected for your case ). This suffix depends on the language that selected in Settings > General section in Site Languages option. So please check what language selected in this option and what file name suffix is used for your files.

Theme Updates

To be notified of new theme updates, you should turn on Update Notifier button at Appearance > Theme Options > General (is enabled by default).

There are two locations on the website where you can see that there is a new version of Adventure Tours available:

• on top Admin toolbar

• at Admin panel > Appearances > Adventure Tours

This section contains information about updates that are available in the new version. You can see the changelog of versions at item details page, as well.

NOTE: If you did not make any changes in Adventure Tours theme files and in Data types for Adventure Tours theme plugin files, you should follow the instructions below. Otherwise, you will lose all your changes during this update process.

Since Wordpress does not provide any API to update theme automatically (automatic updates are available for themes published on wordpress.org only), the theme update process requires a few additional steps from your side.

We recommend to use Envato Market plugin, or Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin to update Adventure Tours theme. This plugins allow to updating your theme in a truly handy way. Please check this guide, on how to install Envato Market plugin, or this one, on how to install Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin. Use one of these plugins to update themes purchased from Envato instead of manual theme update process (replacing theme files via ftp, sftp, or control panel file manager).

NOTE: Theme update with Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin up to version 2.2.6 may fail. To avoid this issue, please check this topic

Also, please take in consideration that Adventure Tours theme is provided with the following built-in plugins:

• Data types for Adventure Tours theme;
• Slider Revolution;
• WPBakery Page Builder.

Updates for these plugins are distributed with the theme only ( if you don't have a personal license for Slider Revolution or WPBakery Page Builder plugins, of course ). If some of these plugins are updated, you will see a notice about that in your admin's panel, but you will be able to update it only after next theme release. After theme that contains fresh plugin(s) version is installed to your website go to Appearance > Install Plugins section and update the appropriate plugin(s).

Information about these plugins' updates are available in the theme changelog as well.

WooCommerce outdated view files

From time to time, WooCommerce releases changes in its own template files.. Some of these template files are overwritten by Adventure Tours theme. WooCommerce checks if any of your themes, or plugins use older version of these templates as the "base version" that current WooCommerce view files and if any "otdated" view files are detected notice you about that to prevent your attention to this fact, as it has potential to create compatibility issues. We are monitoring such cases and if there are any signifacnt changes are released (changes that may create any issue for the system) we are releasing new theme update with "actualized" view files. Usually is takes 1-2 days after WooCommerce release. So to avoid thsese notice(s) you should just update the theme after WooCommerce update.

Please note as well, that sometimes changes in WooCommerce view files have no impact on the system functionality at all (changes that does not alter logic, or presentation in any way), but they still is a reason for notice(s) described above. In such cases theme update may be released later, as making theme release witout any valuable changes has no sense.

If you are overrode some WooCommerce view files in the child theme you should take care about "actualization" of these view files by yourself.

Q: How to change the title of the tour booking form?
A: To change the title of the tour booking form, you should use adventure_tours_booking_form_title filter in your child theme.
For example, you can add the following code to the child theme functions.php file:

function filter_adventure_tours_booking_form_title( $title, $tour ) {
    $custom_title = get_post_meta( $tour->get_id(), 'tour_booking_form_title', true );
    return $custom_title ? $custom_title : $title;
}
add_filter( 'adventure_tours_booking_form_title', 'filter_adventure_tours_booking_form_title', 10, 2);

The code above checks if a tour (passed via $tour argument) has value for tour_booking_form_title meta field and uses it as a title value if it is not empty. So after this filter has been added to your child theme, you are able to add the meta field with the name tour_booking_form_title to customize the booking form title for each tour. On how to manage custom fields, see here.

Q: How to update my Easy MailChimp Forms from version 5.X to 6.X?
A: Prior to theme version 1.0.6, Adventure Tours theme supported only version 5.X of Easy MailChimp Forms plugin. Since the theme version 1.0.6, support for plugin version 6.X is added. So if you are using Easy MailChimp Forms plugin, we strongly recommend you to update the plugin to version 6.X. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure that you've updated Adventure Tours theme up to version 1.0.6 or above.
2. Make sure that you've updated Data types for Adventure Tours theme up to version 1.0.4 or above.
3. Update Easy MailChimp Forms plugin.
4. Deactivate and activate this plugin (this step is required to complete the migration process).
5. Go to Easy Forms > Settings and enter your MailChimp API key again.
6. Go to Easy Forms > Opt-in Forms and create a subscription form for all the lists that you used before.
7. Update all places (pages/widgets) where you use [mailchimp_form] shortcode. Your code looks like this:

[mailchimp_form mailchimp_list_id="123123123" button_text="Subscribe" title="Join the Newsletter" ...]To receive our best monthly deals[/mailchimp_form]

Remove "mailchimp_list_id" attribute (has been replaced with new one) and add "form_id" attribute with your new form ID as the attribute's value. Now it should look like this:

[mailchimp_form form_id="1" button_text="Subscribe" title="Join the Newsletter" ...]To receive our best monthly deals[/mailchimp_form]

Please check that all of your forms work correctly after migration.

Q: How to avoid error "File name too long..." during updating process with Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin?
A: This error may occur if your current theme version is 2.2.5 or below, so in order to avoid it, you should:

• install and activate child theme provided with our full package archive, if you don't use it yet;
• add following code to child theme functions.php file ( full path will look like this wp-content/themes/adventure-tours-child/functions.php):

if ( ! function_exists( 'adventure_tours_filter_upgrader_package_options' ) ) {
    function adventure_tours_filter_upgrader_package_options( $options ){
        if ( !empty( $options['hook_extra']['theme'] ) && 'adventure-tours' == $options['hook_extra']['theme'] ) {
            $package = !empty( $options['package'] ) ? $options['package'] : '';
            if ( $package && preg_match( '`^(http|https|ftp)://`i', $package ) && ! file_exists( $package ) ) {
                // downloads update package to resolve issue with long name generated by `wp_tempnam` in `download_url` function
                $tmpfname = wp_tempnam();
                if ( $tmpfname ) {
                    $response = wp_safe_remote_get( $package, array(
                        'timeout' => 300,
                        'stream' => true,
                        'filename' => $tmpfname 
                    ) );

                    if ( is_wp_error( $response ) || 200 != wp_remote_retrieve_response_code( $response ) ) {
                        unlink( $tmpfname );
                    } else {
                        $content_md5 = wp_remote_retrieve_header( $response, 'content-md5' );
                        if ( $content_md5 ) {
                            $md5_check = verify_file_md5( $tmpfname, $content_md5 );
                            if ( is_wp_error( $md5_check ) ) {
                                unlink( $tmpfname );
                            }
                        }

                        if ( file_exists($tmpfname) ) {
                            $options['package'] = $tmpfname;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return $options;
    }
    add_filter( 'upgrader_package_options', 'adventure_tours_filter_upgrader_package_options' );
}

• update Adventure Tours theme via Envato Toolkit plugin;
• now you can remvove this code from your child theme functions.php file, as since version 2.2.6 this fix included into theme itself ( or if you installed child theme only to apply this fix - you may just remove your child theme now, but BE SURE that you don't have any other customization there, as in this case you will have any option to restore them back! ).
