Hi,

I am trying to edit the included .po and .mo files but they can’t open in poedit. How can i translate this template?

Thanks!

Tom

Hi,

you are right, the .po file in latest version stopped to work for me too. Please contact me via PM and I will send you fixed version.

How do you add images to the gallery drop downs under an individual service?

I see in the page code that this may have something to do with it but cannot quite work out how I know what info to put in there to make the images i have uploaded show?

images="28,29,30,31,32,33" items_per_row="4" crop="yes" crop_aspect_ratio="70" click_action="lightbox"]

thanks in advance

Hi,

just enable Visual Composer for services under Visual Composer / General Settings, enable lsvrservice. And then add Gallery element when editing service page.

Lubos

It is enabled but Visual Composer but does not come up when I edit or add a service? Visual composer does come up for other sections such as pages though…....

Played around a bit more. You also have to have ‘post enabled’ in visual composer for services to work – having services enabled and not post means you will not see VC on services. An issue to be worked out in the next update maybe.

Thanks for your assistance

Try to resave those settings under Visual Composer / General Settings. It is definitely working for me.

Hi Lubos there is a problem with the portfolio. When I try to edit a project changing gallery position everything disappear. It seems like there is a problem with page positions. Same happens if I add new text or shortcode in visual composer area into the project. At the moment it’s pratically impossible edit portfolio at all, because almost everything I do makes the portfolio project disappear. Wordpress 4.2.2, bluecollar 1.1.3 Please help! Thanks

PS I noticed that another similar problem is in pages: when I try to change sidebar position in sidebar template nothing happens and sidebar stays always on the left side

Hi I noticed now that portfolio project shows only if Gallery position is on top. Not showing if I change to any other position.

Sorry…not alway showing even in top position because if I change a picture in gallery, project page doesn’t show anymore. :(

Hi,

I’ve just tested it and everything works fine on my side. Try to disable all 3rd party plugins not required for this theme. Also, feel free to share URL of your site so I can take a look.

Lubos

I am testing, maybe the seo plugin causes this issue. I let you know.

I have been trying to update the theme since version v1.0.7 and i cant get it to update withought loosing elements on the page..

I have done many updates with WordPress with different themes but with this theme its very strange.

Can you Help Me Out..Please.

Just updated the theme, and this is the Original… http://awesomescreenshot.com/01e4yvjmf0

And this is after the update…http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d04yvjra7

Weird, can you share your url?

Just PM’d URL

I need some help on the Service post type archive… I do like the default theme settings for the service section on the homepage, however I have unique content for the service archive page and I’m not sure if or how this content can be added. Even if the content was below the default service thumbnails, that is all I need…

Hi,

well, it is not possible by default, but if you don’t mind adding it via code, then you can do it by editing archive-lsvrservice.php file in theme’s root and put your content either before line 23 (if you want to display it above Services) or after line 86 (if you want to display it below Services).

Lubos

thanks that helps!

Hi,

I cant seem to find this page in the demo content – http://demos.volovar.net/bluecollar.wp/demo/services/

Would you be able to maybe send me the code for this page style so I can add it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

that’s not a regular page, that’s the Service post type archive. You can find the link to this page under Theme Options / Services, but basically it’s just your-url/services (make sure to switch your permalink format to Post name under Settings / Permalinks).

Lubos

ah i see thanks for that I have found the options and page.

Just bought theme. Not off to a very good start…....

Just following install instructions. When installing plugins it comes back with the following error for all:

“An error occurred while installing LSVR Toolkit (Blue Collar): Download failed. Failure when receiving data from the peer.” “An error occurred while installing Redux Framework: Download failed. Failure when receiving data from the peer.” “An error occurred while installing WPBakery Visual Composer: Download failed. Failure when receiving data from the peer.”

Advise please

Installed Manually ok. Thanks. Not sure why the Plugin uploader did not work. Never had that issue before. Otherwise I have the demo setup fine now. Ta

This theme uses TGM Plugin Activation class to handle automatic plugin installation and this approach is more or less standard for all WP themes on ThemeForest nowadays. So it is really weird it doesn’t work for you in this case. But well, it happens.

thanks for the lightening fast support anyway!

FontAwesome icons show up just fine.

IcoMoon icons show a blank box.

Here’s the site www.crackerjackhandyman.com

Please help.

Hi,

please contact me via PM and I will send you edited version of style.css which may help.

Lubos

Hi there i already bougth your theme, but the feature “Frontend editor ” on visual composer is not avalible … why ?

thank you!

Hi,

this theme doesn’t support this feature. You can enable it by opening includes/visual-composer-setttings.php file and removing line 5, but again, it is not officially supported so you are on your own on this one.

Lubos

hi well that is sad for me, was the most atractive feature…. is there a posibility to get a refund ?

Well, you should at least try to enable it as I described, maybe it will work for you.

Refunds are handled by Envato, but I would be very suprised (and shocked) if you get refund for such reason. But it’s up to them to decide.

Hello Dude

First of all you have an amazing theme, its really great and easy to use. I have a small problem, for some reason all the im icons are missing from the theme, i cant find the reason why is this happening. Can you please have a look and help me out with this? http://locksmith-parker-co.com/ Thanks in advance

Oshri

Can you please help me out on what to ask them? Any specific problem they should look for? This icons really make the theme looks amazing and i really want it to look like the demo. Thanks in advance

Oshri

Of course, this is a major issue. But I am afraid it would be the same with almost any theme using iconic fonts.

You can try this solution: Open .htaccess file in your WordPress root and add the following lines:

# Apache config
<FilesMatch ".(eot|ttf|otf|woff)">
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" 
</FilesMatch>

If that won’t help, then just contact your hosting provider and explain your issue. Chance is that they’ve already dealt with this in the past. Many hosting providers are using some kind of security filters which automatically blocks loading of iconic fonts.

Thanks so much for your help, the code didnt work but i have opened a ticket with the host, hope they can help me out with this.

How do you change the color of “Enable Color Overlay on Background Image” ?

Hi,

you mean background color of header overlay? Please read the documentation on how to create color skin. The definitions for header overlay can be found on lines 518 and 519 in .scss file. Just replace $accent-2 and $accent-3 with your colors (only on those two lines) and don’t forget to convert it to regular .css (as per documentation).

Or you can hire a freelancer who will do it for you.

Hi!

I would like to have a full width slider instead of the plain title on the top of a service page. Is it possible?

I did a work around in single-lsvrservice.php and replaced the

<?php // PAGE HEADER get_template_part( 'components/page-header' ); ?>

with

<div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container "><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="c-slider"><div class="slide-list"><div class="slide" style="background-image: url( '<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'top_slider_url', true); ?>' );"><div class="slide-bg"><div class="container"><div class="slide-inner"><div class="slide-content valign-middle" style="height: 400px;" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

And made a meta-field named “top_slider_url” in Wordpress.

This is OK with me. (The template is in the Child-theme).

PS

class="slide-inner" is a custom CSS class to handle the height of the image to different screen widths.

PS 2

If anybody copy the code above, make sure you have the right amount of div ending tags ”/div”.

It is not possible … unless you are a coder :) Good job!

hello I bought blue collar theme but wen i am installimg theme in wordpress control i follow this steps but installing faild :( http://demos.volovar.net/bluecollar.wp/documentation/#installation

Hi,

you will have to be much more descriptive about your issue. Do you see any error message or what is the problem?

Lubos

Is there a way to re-size the featured image of the posts when i put them in the main page?

i mean auto-resize

Hi,

not exactly sure what do you mean, but there are no options for changing featured image of posts.

Lubos

Hi there,

can you please advise how to change the color of the text on the services pictures? thanks

Hi,

sure, use this Custom CSS for title:

.c-service .service-title,
.c-service .service-title a { color: #FFF; }

this for description when you hover:

.c-service.m-type-2 .service-description p { color: #FFF; }

And this is for the button in description when you hover:

.c-service.m-type-2 .service-description .c-button { border-color: #FFF; color: #FFF; }

Lubos

Thanaks Lubos, how about the custom css color for the sliding text?

Not sure what do you mean by sliding text.

Do you know an SEO plugin that is compatible with this template?

Hi,

well, any SEO plugin should work. But if you come across any issues using one, please let me know.

Lubos

Quick question,

does the theme support RTL ? So i can have it in Arabic version for eample?

Hi,

yes, it does support RTL.

Lubos

This is a very great theme ! Thanks a lot !

I hope in the future releases you can add more ready colors template !

I’ll do my best .. wait for me :D

Hi .. I just would like to thank you again for the amazing theme! and for keeping updating it! all the best man!

Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to ONLY have 4 service thumbnails on the homepage? I have more than 4 services so I wish to add more however I don’t want to show all thumbnails on the homepage only 4. Thanks

Hi,

if you mean services in header, then you can do that by editing components / page-header.php file. Go to line 85 – it looks like this:

'posts_per_page' => 100,

Change 100 to 4.

Lubos

When updating the theme, we lost all translations made… :| It would be great to maintain PO and MO files between updates.

Hi,

sorry to hear that, but maintaining PO and MO files is your task. You should make a backup of languages folder before updating. There is nothing I can do with it.
