Spark - Responsive One-Page HTML5 WordPress Theme

Hey cdching,

Thanks for your comment, I just replied to your previous message and there’s a solution to the problem you encounter, check it out below. You can also hide all of the menu items for the mobile view. Let me know if it works the way you want or if I can help any further, I’ll be happy to assist you!

You can choose to hide some of the menu items when the site is seen on a mobile device. In order to do so you will have to switch the menu to “Manual” mode (see the Menu tab in the Theme Options page). Then simply add the “hide-for-mobiles” CSS class to any menu item that you don’t want to appear for mobiles:

If you don’t have the “CSS” field then you need to activate it in the Screen Options panel:

This way you can hide less-important links for the mobile view, avoiding the limited width issue and still offer a great experience for mobile users.

I hope that helps! Please feel free to contact me if you need any further help with this, I’ll be happy to assist you Best, Jonathan

Hello zeguestlist,

Thanks for your comment. Make sure that the opening and closing shortcode tags are properly set. I suggest you copy/past the examples directly from the “Shortcodes” tab in the Theme Options page and customize the variables, it’s the best way to get started!

Hello newleaf-design,

Thanks for your comment. How did you proceed to update the theme? Did you follow the simple instructions from the FAQ? What you should have done is installing the new version of the theme like you would install a separate new theme, if you didn’t do that but instead manually replaced the files then I recommend you to re-install the latest version of the theme on top of your current installation, it might fix any remaining issues.

Also, in case you’re making use of images from the previous version of the theme (like icons) in your pages then you must leave the previous version of the theme intact. I can see that there are many “404 Not Found” errors when loading your site (mostly images pointing to the previous version of the theme, which seems to have been removed).

Beside the images, your site seems to be working fine as I write!

I hope these tips helps! Please feel free to contact me if you need any further help with this, I’ll be happy to assist you Best, Jonathan

Hello TaniaDakka,

Thank you for your message. I do offer full support for my Spark WordPress theme, but with all the requests through both emails/PMs/comments and other ways it is being sometime difficult for me to follow the flow, however rest assured that in the end everyone gets an answer and almost always a working solution or fix for any issue encountered!

If you decide to use the Spark WordPress theme I will be pleased to assist you with its installation and customization as much as I can Best, Jonathan

Hi JoNa,

Thank you for responding. I, unfortunately, already bought a theme from Pego – which I found out is bad for SEO. So as much as I would love a new theme, I’m going to have to wait to see others later. Good luck! In the meantime, if you need any help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask!

Have a good day:)

Hello di4bis,

Thanks for your comment. I’m no expert when it comes to the licences, but from my understanding after reading it, the Regular Licence is good for one website, therefor you would have to acquire two of them if you have two sites. You can read more about the Regular and Extended licences on this page: http://themeforest.net/licenses/regular_extended

I hope that helps! Please feel free to contact me if you need any further help with this, I’ll be happy to assist you Best, Jonathan

Hello davelexe,

Thanks for your comment. You can set the currency symbol this way:

[pricing_column icon="black/cloud_icon&48.png" title="Cloud" amount=25 amount_detail="/mo" currency="£"]
This section offers great possibilities to compare plans...
[button featured=1 url="#"]Sign Up[/button]
[/pricing_column]

You can find more information about the available attributes for each shortcode in the “Shortcode” tab from the Theme Options page.

I hope that helps! Please feel free to contact me if you need any further help with this, I’ll be happy to assist you Best, Jonathan

Hello davelexe,

Thanks for your message and for the suggestion, I’ll try to improve the Shortcodes Documentation by adding pictures. To answer your question regarding additional pages, you can remove the author information and comments directly from the WordPress Admin. When editing the page, uncheck the boxes under Discussion>

Hello cdching,

Thanks for your interesting question. Yes it’s possible to change the header to a static positioning, and it’s actually already the case for old mobiles that don’t support fixed-positioning. So what you can do is to edit the main javascript file – or more simply add the following code snippet into the “Tracking Code Snippet” field (see the “Google Analytics” tab in the Theme Options page):

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    if (isMobile) {
        $("html").removeClass("modern-mobile").addClass("mobile");
        isModernWebkitMobile = false;
        supportPositionFixed = false; // Assume that all other mobile platforms DON'T support position-fixed
    }
});
</script>

That code will override the logic of the main javascript file so it always deliver a static header – even for new mobiles that do support fixed positioning. By the way that field is intended for a “Tracking Code Snippet” but that will work. A cleaner option (but more complex) would be to make the appropriate changes in the javascript file itself and to use the child theme provided…

Hello tanya_meronk,

Thanks for your comment. I can see that you’re using the “WP Super Cache” plugin, I believe it creates a cached version of your pages (including the landing-page) which it updates only when you actually edit the said pages.

I suggest you disable this plugin temporarily while you’re still working on the customization of your site, and enable it back again one you’re done!

Hello cairns_nic,

Thanks for your comment. You can use the shortcode variant of the slider instead, it will allow you to put images with a custom size. For usage see the “Shortcodes” tab in the Theme Options page. And to embed the slider in a dark container like the original welcome-block, please see this answer (just replace the [video] shortcode with your shortcode-based slider): http://themeforest.net/item/spark-responsive-onepage-html5-wordpress-theme/discussion/2372522?page=7#comment_2333004

Hello Nicole,

Thanks for your comment. Since version 1.8 the Spark theme makes use of the “WP Loop” for the landing-page, as the previous method used was known to not work with some multilingual plugins. Are you using a recent version of Spark? If not you can try to update the theme and see if it improves the situation!

I have personally no experience with multilingual plugins but a few pages back there was someone who successfully used a similar plugin with Spark, it featured a nice drop-down language switcher. I can’t remember on what page it was but perhaps if you have some time you can try to go through the comments?

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you! I’m looking forward to being helpful Best, Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I will do that thanks! Hopefully I’ll come across that post, I’m sure it will help me out a great deal. I’ll also update my version, I haven’t done that yet. If you have a minute can you please answer my other question before this one….as always thanks for all your help!

“Can you tell me if there’s a way to increase the height of the slider image area? I find it too small for the images I want to work with. Thanks”.

Nicole

Hello Jona, thanks for your reply, but as mentioned, I already looked at the theme, wordpress and pages settings, and for as far as I can see everything looks good. I’ve got a lot of experience with Wordpress already, so the page settings was the first thing I thought about, but they are all published, and open for everyone to see. If you have any options I would love to hear them, otherwise I’ll try reinstalling the child and/or parent theme…

Regards, Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Thanks for your reply. This is weird and is the first time such problem is reported here! If you want me to have a look at your install please feel free to send me credentials to the admin panel so I can take a look. I look forward to resolve the issue you’re confronted with! Best, Jonathan

Hello Jonathan, sorry for the late reply, Can I email you directly? I don’t want to put login information here… My direct email is: m.oerlemans@gmail.com if you want to contact me. Thanks in advance!

Hello dodo007,

Thanks for your comment! This should not be happening, how did you set the custom links of your menu? Do the links start with the #hash symbol or with “http://...”? You must create custom links that start with the hash (#) symbol for the scroll to be animated (smooth) like explained in the PDF documentation the came with the theme.

Let me know if that helps! Best, Jonathan
