Descrição

You MUST always do a backup before install it and always test it in a dev environment.

If you have any trouble open a ticket.

If you have any feature requests or code issue open a ticket on github.

ItalyStrap will add powerful features to your WordPress site.

Advanced Control Manager is also on GitHub.

Purpose

I developed this plugin with many features because I need them in all sites created for my clients, it also extends the ItalyStrap Theme Frameworks functionality, but it works fine with all WordPress themes.

Think about Advanced Control Manager like a Jetpack with many functionality that make your site more powerful and extensible, for example: Lazy load for image with srcset support, widget and shortcode for Twitter Bootstrap Carousel (with lazy load support), widget for displaying lists of posts type with a lot of options like popular posts, last posts, related posts and so on, there are a lot of functionality, see above for the full list of featured.

This plugin is fully developed in OOP. It utilizes DI Container, Dependency Injection, Polymorphism, Inheritance, etc.
If you are a developer you can extend it with his API (Dev docs coming soon).

Skills required

Some functionalities need to be personalized with lines of code, for example if you use the new widget for displaying posts you have to add your own CSS style to make it look like your site (you can add it in ACM > settings > Style > Custom CSS or in your theme style.css), I’m working on building some basic code snippets and documentation, but I need a lot of time to do it, please be patient with me :-).

Advanced Control Manager will always be free

This is my thanks for what WordPress has given to me.

Get involved

If you want to contribute click here do a fork and do a pull request to the Dev branch 🙂

Perguntas frequentes

How can I add breadcrumbs in my site?

Add this code in your template files:

<?php do_action( 'do_breadcrumbs', [] ); ?>

What if you haven’t got Bootstrap CSS?

If you haven’t Bootstrap CSS style for breadcrumbs don’t worry about it, you have 2 options, firsts option you have to develop your own style for breadcrumbs, second option you can add this css code in your css style theme:

.breadcrumb{padding:8px 15px;margin-bottom:20px;list-style:none;background-color:#f5f5f5;border-radius:4px}.breadcrumb>li{display:inline-block}.breadcrumb>li+li:before{content:"/\00a0";padding:0 5px;color:#ccc}.breadcrumb>.active{color:#777}

How can I use Bootstrap Carousel?

Add attribute type="carousel" at gallery shortcode, this will show Bootstrap Carousel based on the selected images and their titles and descriptions, otherwise it will show standard WordPress Gallery.

How to activate Lazy Load for images

For activate Lazy Load there is new page “Option” in ACM panel, in that page there is a checkbox, check on LazyLoad and let the magic begin 😛

How do I change the placeholder image in Lazy Load functionality

php add_filter( 'italystrap_lazy_load_placeholder_image', 'my_custom_lazyload_placeholder_image' ); function my_custom_lazyload_placeholder_image( $image ) { return 'http://url/to/image'; }

How do I lazy load other images in my theme || plugin?

You can use a dedicated event name to filter your content: ‘italystrap_lazyload_images_in_this_content’

`php

$your_content_with_images = ”;
\apply_filters(‘italystrap_lazyload_images_in_this_content’, $your_content_with_images);
`

Lazy load uses JavaScript. What about visitors without JS active?

No worries. They get the original element in a noscript element. No Lazy Loading for them, though.

I’m using a CDN. Will this plugin interfere?

Lazy loading works just fine. The images will still load from your CDN. If you have any problem please open a ticket 🙂

How can I verify that the plugin is working?

Check your HTML source or see the magic at work in Web Inspector, FireBug or similar.

I’m using an external carousel, will Lazy Load work with it?

I tried only with the Bootstrap Carousel integrated, please send me any feedback if you have any issue with other carousel, however I can’t guarantee to solve the issue.

Is it compatible with WebP images?

Yes, it is compatible with WebP images, but you also have to install and activate EWWW IO plugin
to leverage lazy loading for WebP images.
Once you have activated the EWWW IO go to WebP settings and check ‘JPG/PNG to WebP’ for generating WebP version of your images
‘JS WebP Rewriting’ option is needed only if your server do no load WebP images correctly
See the plugin documentation

How can I use Local Business widget

Simply activate functionality from Advanced Control Manager option page, add ItalyStrap vCard Local Business in your widgetozed area and then fill in the fields input

For more information read the documentation

If you have any problem please open a ticket 🙂
