Updating website breaks elements

[sb_private_reply]Hi, I renewed my support subscription and sent a support email a month ago but haven't received a response. I would appreciate some help...

[/sb_private_reply]I am trying to update my website to the latest version (v2 > v4). I followed all the instructions on updating from v3 > v4, but it seems like a lot of my elements are broken. I think the issue is from codes that changed in the html index that I didn't update to match new css codes. I have a few custom tweaks made to my CSS, and also combined one-page elements and main elements into one so that could be an issue.

Here is the live site which is working (old version): jason-han.com
But when I'm updating the same code to the newer versions, I'm getting all sorts of issues.

Here are some of my major issues:

  1. When clicking large portfolio img (portfolio-1 portfolio-fullwidth), the video pops up, but when I exit, the image disappears.

  2. The play button on hover over video images are different (no longer white circle)

  3. The button to the right of the contacts on the top bar (side-panel-wrap) no longer works

Those are the only issues that I could find for now. I sent you an email with my HTML files, please refer to that if you need.
Thanks,
Jason

Hello,

We Really Apologize about the Delay in reply to your Queries!

We Understand that you would like to Update your Website to the Newest Version of Canvas and We definitely recommend you to do so. But Unfortunately, transition from V2 to V4 can be daunting task taking into consideration that we released so many Updates in between and since Canvas is a HTML5 Template, all the Updates needs to be done manually. Also, according to your Message and your Issues, it seems that you have added your Custom CSS Codes directly in the Default CSS Files which comes with the Canvas Package rather than using a Custom CSS File which makes it even harder to track the Updates and change the Codes appropriately. So, it is Highly Recommended that you should create a css/custom.css (this already comes with the Canvas 4 Package) File and move all your Custom Codes directly into this File. More Setup Instructions about this can be found in the Documentation > Start > Customization Section.

Regarding your issues:

  1. We provided you with the following Custom CSS last time you faced this issue, so please consider using this:
.custom-port-overlay {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
}

.i-overlay.port-overlay-icon { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); }

.i-overlay.port-overlay-icon i {
	position: absolute;
	top: 50%;
	left: 50%;
	background-color: #F5F5F5;
	width: 40px !important;
	height: 40px !important;
	margin: -20px 0 0 -20px;
	font-size: 18px;
	line-height: 40px;
	text-align: center;
	text-shadow: none !important;
	color: #444;
	border-radius: 50%;
	-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}

.i-overlay.port-overlay-icon i.icon-line-play:before {
	position: relative;
	left: 2px;
}

.i-overlay.port-overlay-icon i:hover { color: #1ABC9C; }
  1. We request you to provide us with a Live URL for the same so that we can check out this issue in more details and provide you with a more accurate solution for this.

  2. You will need to add the .side-panel-trigger Class to the #side-panel-trigger Element for this to work correctly.

We would request you set up your Updated (Canvas v4) Website Online inside a Sample Folder of your Website so that we can check out the Issue online since this would help us find the issues more quickly and provide you with the necessary fixes. Thanks for your Patience once again.

Do let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues with Canvas.

[sb_private_reply]Thanks for finally responding, but did it really have to take a month to respond? Seems like you guys were ignoring just my issue since it's difficult. I finally now get a response right after I asked for a refund on my extended support? I paid for an extended support just for this one simple issue, and people who don't even have extended support was getting help. Could have at least told me some bullshit like "Someone will be with you shortly" at least. Come on guys, this is unbelievable.

[/sb_private_reply]Anyway hopefully this will be the last time I ask for help, most of my issues were resolved the only issue now on V4 is that the portfolio-3 items and i-overlay doesn't seem to be working.
Here is the V4 live link: http://jason-han.com/test/index.html.

Hello,

[sb_private_reply]We Extremely Apologize about the Delays once again and Really Really Appreciate your Patience with us. We just checked all our Emails/Comments and we found that we received your Emails 20 days ago. There is No Doubt that there was a Negligence on our Part in providing you with Timely Support and we can't apologize enough to you about this but we assure that we were not able to check your Emails since it was received in our General Folders and we filter Support Messages and reply only to those Messages on our Emails which are sent through the Envato Support System(due to SPAM Issues) because of which we were unable to detect your Email. And we have just checked your Comment regarding Extended Support Refund, so we do not message our Users based on a Negative Reply. We value your Feedback and we surely try to improve based on them. The main reason we Launched our Support Forum was to not miss any Support Queries from our users and reply to them in a Timely Manner. So, when you have posted your Question on the Support Forum, you are assured of a Reply from one of our Support Team Members. The Slight Delay was just because it was a Sunday and your Query required a Lengthy Response and required to be Replied by one of our Support Experts which were unavailable yesterday. We assure you that we were by no means ignoring your Query and trust us we have received more difficult queries. But we definitely agree that we were very late in replying to your Query no matter what and sincerely apologize to you about the same. We can surely provide you with the Support Extension Refund and still continue providing Limited Support to you.[/sb_private_reply]

Regarding your the Portfolio Issue, simply change the height: 100%; to height: 100% !important; in the .custom-port-overlay CSS Block. This will definitely fix your issue.

Do Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
