Hi, just purchased the theme. Everything is great except I am not getting the B&W effect on the feature images. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or what. Feature images that I loaded are in color. they show up fine but have no hover effect. Help?

Ok I see now that the grayscale/color hover only works on the blog pages not on static pages. Unfortunately my client does not have a blog nor does he plan on starting one. Can this feature be used on static pages? I realize this would be considered custom but would this modification be difficult? I am not a coder but I can handle pasting in a few lines of code if that is what it would take. Thanks

If you remove the following line from style.css you should have that effect on all pages:

.single .post .featured-image img, .page .featured-image img {
    filter: none;
    -webkit-filter: none;
}

Great theme! Purchased and installed it on the weekend and everything runs well; as expected. Just wondering how and where new releases / versions are announced? Thx!

mikemcalister

Hi there, Thanks for your purchase! You can check out the latest updates in the changelog, which you can see here: http://themes.okaythemes.com/updates/pocket-wordpress-theme/

Ok, thanks – Would that also be the place where I can download it?

mikemcalister

Currently, you can only grab the latest files from your ThemeForest Downloads section. Anytime the theme is updated, the latest files are available there!

Hi Mike

We bought your theme and it’s great, handy and simply beautiful.

I need to make out of one featured image an image map. Do you know a proper way of doing that? Is that something you plan to support? If not, do you know by chance a way of doing it within your theme or should I look for an alternative plugin?

Thanks

mikemcalister

Hi, I don’t plan on supporting image maps like that. It’s a rather specific feature to support for everyone. You might want to check out a plugin!

Hi Mike, thanks for making such a nice theme. But why do I have Page Title only in post style? I’m using safari on a Mac. Thanks.

mikemcalister

Hi, Not sure what you mean? The page title is available in posts and pages.

Mike

Default-user

Hi, I mean when I click the drop down menu to choose a style for my posts, what I see is Page Title style only. Other styles, like Intro Title mentioned in your help file, are not available.

mikemcalister

Oops, looks like I need to update the help file. Some of the other themes come with highlighting, etc, but Pocket only comes with the page title.

I’ll submit an update for this shortly!

How can i install the custom-archive into the theme?

mikemcalister

You just need to create a new page and assign the Custom Archive template to it!

Hi Mike! Thank you again for all of your previous help! Thanks to your awesome theme, my site (www.selenasage.com) is growing and I get tons of compliments! I’ve directed many people to your theme and I’m hoping you’ve received purchases as a result :) You deserve it!!

So I’ve tried searching all of the questions and forum, but couldn’t find information on my two small questions:

1. How can I update the metadata shown on Google to update the description? The text posted seems to be a random capture from the site and I’d like to create a static description. (And if you have an article with SEO tips, that would be awesome too!!!)

2. I’ve noticed that on the mobile version, the Previous/Next buttons are great…until you hit a quote. At that point, the user is stuck and unable to go forward or backward as these buttons are missing. I’m not sure if adding these buttons for quotes is on your radar, but I hope that you might consider so that visitors are able to continue to navigate through all types of posts. Thank you for your consideration!

With many thanks again for your time and assistance! Best wishes for success for this theme and all others you create!

:) Selena

Hi Selena, As a quick fix for the next/prev post links on quotes, you could add the following CSS to Appearance -> Customize -> Pocket Styling -> Custom CSS. It will keep the next/prev tabs visible on mobile.

.single-format-quote .next-prev { display: block !important; }

You’ll have to use a plugin like Yoast SEO to modify the metadata and decide how your site shows in Google. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/

Hi. How do i get the images to display post content full-width, like in the theme preview.

mikemcalister

Hi, You need to utilize the Featured Image in each post. See the help file, as it covers how to add images like on the demo!

Hi guys,

I’ve purchased your Pocket theme and am having trouble installing on WordPress via GoDaddy. Are there any step by step instructions out there how to get it uploaded? For some reason I cannot upload the Pocket folder into the FTP File Manager into the THEMES folder. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Love the look of Pocket and looking forward to using it.

mikemcalister

Hi Bryan, What exactly is the issue with uploading? If you are uploading via FTP, you should unzip the Pocket-UploadToWP.zip file and upload only the pocket theme folder to your wp-content/themes folder.

You can also install the theme via the WordPress admin. See this link for more info on that: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes/#Adding_New_Themes_using_the_Administration_Panels With this method, you’ll be uploading the Pocket-UploadToWP.zip file. No need to unzip it using this route.

Hi,

Love the theme! Was wondering what the chances you could add infinite scrolling to this theme, only thing that seems to be missing :)

I don’t mind manually adding it in if I have to

mikemcalister

Hi, I may add infinite scrolling in the future, but I don’t have any immediate plans to do so!

Hi Mike,

Great theme! I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions before I decide on making a purchase though?

1) How much control would I have over the top of the template? As in the header, logo area, and links across the top. Could I change their position, fonts, turn some on or off?

2) Is there an option to show the number of comments per post, and could the comments be showing by default instead of having to click to view them?

Thanks for your time, and keep up the great work!

mikemcalister

Hi, You don’t have a ton of customization options with Pocket. It’s a very simple theme and meant for getting up and running with little to no setup. You can add a logo, change the accent color, and add some custom CSS via the Customizer.

There isn’t an option for the comments, you’d have to change the template files to achieve that.

Thanks Mike,

I have a fair bit of experience with html and css, so I should be able to do something with the top right navigation.

As for the comments, do you think that’s something I could get someone to do for me? I think you mentioned elsewhere that someone would do things like that for extra paid work?

mikemcalister

Yeah, we partner with Werkpress who does customizations on our behalf. They do great work and very well priced. To contact them, you’d simply fill out the form on this page and they’ll get back to you asap!

Hi great theme!

Is there any reason why the font is rendering so poorly in Firefox vs Chrome here?

http://i.imgur.com/Uv5NaFg.png

Thanks!

mikemcalister

Hi there, I just submitted a fix for this actually. Looks like Firefox was adding a faux bold effect to the text. The update should be available in the next couple hours. You’ll be looking for version 2.3!

Yep, you can go to Settings -> Reading and change the number of posts to show: http://cl.ly/OwdY

Hi, It would make more sense if the fixed colored arrows on individual posts were in the same direction as the Newer/Older Posts at the bottom of the blogroll. At the moment Previous post points left while Older posts points right and vice versa.

mikemcalister

Hi there, Thanks for the heads up! I’l consider this in an update soon.

Furthermore, POST COMMENT button does not follow the accent colour (has a fixed #DD574C) unlike let’s say the SEND button on the contact form 7 or those arrows mentioned previously.

Also, no comments are shown at the end of post if this WP setting is activated: “Automatically close comments on articles older than…” I would expect this to disallow posting new comments on old articles, but not to hide existing approved comments.

I want to put very small copyright test in visible footer. What’s the css class font size option.

What code can Iuse to put a small text in footer?

I tried: text here

but theme overrides it. Is there a css class that can be used?

thank!

mikemcalister

Hi, Unfortunately we can’t help you customize the theme, just help with bugs and updates. If you want it to always be visible, you need to place it below the #footer element.

Hi,

It looks a quote author still looks more bold on firefox than chrome, even after the update.

Thanks

Hi there, I just submitted another update to Pocket with a fix for this and a few other tweaks. You can grab it from your Downloads section once it gets approved. You’ll be looking for version 2.4!

Hi there, is there a way to add my google analytics code into the theme? Other themes I’ve used usually have a space to insert it.

Also, what would be the best way to upload the updated version as I don’t see a automatic updater and I don’t want to lose all the changes I made.

Thanks

mikemcalister

Hi, You’ll have to add that Google code to your footer by using the editor (Appearance -> Editor).

We are currently working on an auto updater, but currently you’ll have to reupload the files. I should note, even when we do release the updater, you would still lose your changes if you made them to the theme itself. If you want to make changes to a theme and not lose your changes upon updating, you should be using a child theme. http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Prepurchase question, love the theme but can I remove the b&w to colour hover effect? I simply want it always in colour or b&w depending on the image i upload. If i upload a colour image i want it to be in colour, if i upload a b&w image i want it b&w, so no hover effect.

thanks!

mikemcalister

Yep, you’ll just have to override it the CSS. It’s been posted a few times in the comments and in the support forum as well.

thanks for the quick reply, yes i tried searching but didnt really find the exact answer, can you provide the code? or did you want me to purchase first?

oh and one more question, can we tweak the code to display the whole post instead of just a summary on the main page?
