Is it possible for users to comment pages in the reading mode? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the interest :)
Unfortunately it’s not possible.

hi, nice theme! going to purchaise it … only a tip, it works on wordpress 4.2.2 or i need to use 4.1? thanks

No problem, it will be up in the next few hours :)

Sorry for all the waiting. The latest version with the fix is here on themeforest. Just download it :)

perfect! tks ;)

Hi!

Could you please advice, how to switch off preset title and description on the front-page. I installed SEO-plugin, but in snippet it’s still shown

<meta property=”og:title” content=”Home page” />

<meta property=”og:description” content=”This is an example page. It\’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors… >

Sorry, but the question is not about SEO-plugin, it’s about how to switch of the preset sample text, that is in your theme. Just can’t find any place where it’s located. Thanks.

There is no such text in the theme. It’s caused from a plugin. The theme doesn’t write any<meta> og: properties

OK, thanks!

Hi, Very nice concept theme. One question tho: I’m having trouble with the page flipper on the “read the book” window, while browsing the theme demo on chrome. Is that a known issue? Are you going to fix it?

Sorry for bothering you again, but this is kind of necessary as the problem seems to be only on some systems.Can you check again?

I’m sorry but now the back button doesn’t even appear anymore, it’s just like before. (the flip animation doesn’t run aswell, maybe it has to do with a crash there?)

Sorry for all the waiting. The latest version with the fix is here on themeforest. Just download it :)

Hello, so far the theme is working really well and is VERY easy to use. So thank you for that. However, I am trying to set the image for the front page. I have added my media to the library and copied the URL. When I click to insert the image the field where I am supposed to paste the URL is grayed out and doesn’t allow me to enter the URL. The other fields are white and I am able to input into them but not the URL field.

Thanks for the nice words! Remove that section and add it again. An Upload Image button will appear.

Hello!

Could you please tell, if this theme supports cyrillic fonts?

Hi, yes it does. Just make sure that you select Google Font that has Cyrillic letters :)

Have sent you email about getting dummy data. I thought it would be easier to set it up)

Do you support multi book?

Yes, the dummy data is in the new version that was uploaded yesterday :)

You can create multiple read book buttons with different IDs for each book.

Hi,

I tried to follow the documentation for read now button. But I cannot integrate the book as shown in the demo. I tried to find book Id , could not find . Also created a download now and gave the purchase ID did not work. Can you please let me know?

Also the favicon and shortcode are not working

Answered via the support email :)

Hello,

I would like to request the .xml file so I can install dummy content onto my website. I just requested it from your support tab.

Please send it to samschoon@gmail.com

Thank you! Sam

Is that possible to add video to the top banner?

Hi, the theme only supports images in the top header.

I have added two books in the downloads section. The landing pages have been setup separately. I have added the book chapters for both the books and selected the appropriate book in “Chapter Belongs to” option.

Now the read button has the id field set to appropriate book, but when we click on the read button for either of the book all the book chapters are shown, no matter what book.

Am I doing something wrong here? I hope multiple books are supported now.

PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS.

Please write us via the support tab and send us a link with he problem. Thanks!

One of the reason I purchased the book theme was I wanted to create it quickly just like you had it in the demo. It was disappointing to see that you don’t have demo data with the theme. Could you please provide demo content for those of us who wish to just take your that look and feel of your site and customize it to our liking, it will make it much faster to get the theme up as opposed to starting from scratch.

Thanks

Can you write to us via the support tab of the theme. We will send a dummy data to you.

Pre-purchase question.

If I understand the theme correctly and judging from the preview I can put pretty much any content I want on a book page. Is that correct? I’d like to put a couple of NexGEN galleries or albums on book pages. Will they flip just like any other book page content? Alternativly I could just do an archive page.

Also, is there a straightforward way to display more than three blog entries on the home page as shown in the demo?

Thanks in advance,

Cary

Hi, yes you can add images. The content of the pages is filled just like normal blog post and you can use images.

For now it’s not possible to display more than 3 blog posts. This is a planned feature in a future relase :)

Hi, I would like to see the demo with three or more books. Unfortunately, the demo seems to be broken (Chrome on Mac OSX). I’m really curious how it will work out with more books, though, and would be happy about some feedback.

Thanks, K

It seems a redirect issue from themeforest to the demo server. that’s not connected with the theme..
Here is the direct link: http://subsolardesigns.com/novelawp/

If you have multiple books, you just insert Buy button shortcodes with different book id attributes.

the url isn’t loading in chrome, firefox, safari or tor, each on mac osx10. -> ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

This error is not connected to the server or theme, there is something in your local condiguration. Thanks for the understanding.

Hi guys,

really great theme, but I have one question regarding Contact form. Have can I change placeholder texts on this form?

Thanks in advance, Alan

You can easy change them, you can open the file in novela-theme/sections/section-contact.php and change them easily there. Doing this in the child theme is recommended.

Copy the sections directory in the child theme and make your changes there.

I created a dropdown menu with a link with URL equals to ’#’ but I have only home in the sidebar. What can I do to have all sections from the first page? Thank you!

Just add all of them manually as a link and assign to all of them the section ID with #.

Hello,

Please tell me how can I add a background image in the first section “Read the book”.

Thanks!

Hi, just use the Hero Image section. You can see the documentation – every section is explained in it :)

Can I translate in an easy way “Name”, “email”, “Write your message…” into my own language? :)

As well as “Send” button.

Regards,

Yes, there are*.po and *.mo files included or you can use a localization plugin like WPML or Codestyling Localization :)

Thx :)

I shall see, one last question for now, can there be more than one author in the about module? In the demo it is Rebecca Collins, can it be more than one profile, like having an arrow to go to the next author?

Thanks again.

The front page is on sections. You have a collection of all the sections seen on the demo and you insert them. You can insert two author sections one after another :)

Hi, pre-purchase question, my books are both hardcover and softcover, meaning separate editions, and no digital version for sale, is it possible to have multiple editions of a physical book for sale, so that buyer select which edition she wants?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, yes the theme includes multiple options per product option. This way you can add as much editions as you want.
Please bear in mind that the theme is originally created for digital downloads (It’s a winner in the https://easydigitaldownloads.com/ plugin contest) so there is no shipping field included.

No chance of woocommerce inclusion?

The theme is created for Easy Digital Downloads. If you want if have the knowledge, you can implement WooCommerce or you can as a freelancer to do it. It should be no problem.
