Bugs related to tournaments system ( sticky req )

So a lot of users are complaining about the tournament system, challenge system or the site wont work at all.

first of all, i am not an admin or a moderator of SWT, but i just want to contribute a bit of the knowledge i know of.

It would be cool if everyone could place the tournament bugs here in one big topic. This way, they can work a bit faster and answering all of your questions. ( like, 40% of the questions are related to tournaments in the past 4 weeks? 😛 )

For some of the problems, i have the solution for it.

1. Demo not porting. ( Make sure you uploaded a clean new version of WP on your server )
2. FATAL crash when installed the tournaments plugin. ( known bugs, not solvable yet. But, make sure you have the recent php version and its settings. Also, the fatal could also because of the plugin itself. disable all plugins and activate one or 2 at the time. Who knows that might solve it. ( this method can also be done with all plugins if a plugin would be a B%tch to you. )
3. The menu people would like to edit, can be found in the buddypress map files in your arcane theme.
4. People having problems with there logo’s and headers. Always make sure you leave a max of 10 a 15 PX of each side if using PNG files.
5. Megamenu doenst work when adding this with shortcode or as a ”widget” its ugly, and bugs your site.
6. visual composer doenst load. screen keeps white. = > make sure you have the recent PHP that the site needs to work properly.
7. Owl slider doenst work/show => Make sure you have the recent php that the site needs to work properly.

How can i add..?

1. icons in the menu = > with megamenu active ( not included in this template, make sure you have a license for this ) you can add these icons when going to appearance => menu and pressing the megamenu settings icon on the menu. A second bar pops up from under your screen, the second option of those settings will be the icons.

Please note: Megamenu has a lot of tuts how to work with megamenu to create your unique one. http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-3/video-tutorials

2. Adding games to the clan wars section => dont worry about that, i’m working on a export file that includes around 25 populair games you can port such as the call of duty series, battlefield series ( BF3, BF4, HL and BF1 ) for example. i place the download link later under this post.

3. colors to a categorie post = > go to categorie options at the posts section. You see an extra option has been added. Choose the color you like.

4. Adding mycred shortcodes. = Dont want the ugly white background? make sure the shortcode you added aint preformatted.
