Help! This may not be your area but I am trying to upload the theme and keep getting the message below, any ideas what I can do?

413 Request Entity Too Large

nginx/1.8.0

Hello,
Obviously your server have a restriction to file upload size. Please contact your hosting provider to lift it.

I see you stopped supporting a theme with over 3000 sales after only 7 months. Should we expect the same with this theme?

Hi,
If I’m not mistaking, you are one of long-time The7 users. Therefore you know our attitude toward themes updates and support.

I already answered this innumerous times in Nimble, Cardamon, etc. comments. We’re not updating these themes because they cannot be updated due to usage of old and unsupported frameworks in their cores. Main issue is broken page builder. If there could be any chance to update them – we’d did it.

Though “themes are being sold as is without warranty of any kind blah blah”, it is the biggest shame in my 10+ years career to let down all those people :(

dear author

the theme template relly good and thanks lot for it. it help me to grow my business.

i have installed this theme through envato studio. they installed already but facing some problem it is not looks like your original one (www.superwytechs.com) and envato studio reply me as below. .

(You can asked your theme author that your xml import is failed in your godaddy server as there xml size is 8mb)

please kindly give solution to resolve the problem asap.

thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for feedback!

You know, I hate when not qualified people pretend to be professionals and ask money for their “service”...

Please fire your contractor from Envato Studio and submit a support request via our online help-desk: http://support.dream-theme.com . Our guys will assist with demo content installation. As always, for free.

P.S. (This is optional :) ) if you’ll need additional payed services, you can contact our guys at Custom Shop: http://custom.dream-theme.com . They know the theme inside-out because they work with it exclusively for 2 years.

hi dear author please tell me from where i can edit my home page image and text in wordpress? i try to change many times but could not understand where is it.

Hi,
Please note that we can provide technical support only via our online help-desk: http://support.dream-theme.com (here in comments we can only answer some general and pre-purchase question). Submit a ticket there and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
Thanks!

Prepurchase question: Can the blog and gallery pages have a background image? Being only white is a deal breaker for me.

Hi,
You can set whatever general background image you like.

Also with bit of CSS editing you can add individual background images to posts/pages/projects/etc.

One more question, is it possible to display the full post content in the blog like a normal blog? I only see excerpts on the demo lists.

Yes, it is possible.

Hi. I am currently using your Chocolate theme and wanting to purchase and move on this theme. I already have a lot of contents in the pages/galleries/slides/albums and blogs so want to avoid having to reupload/repost everything. Whats the compatibility between the two themes? What process is required for the transition? Thanks – Chris

Hello Chris, Unfortunately Chocolate is quite old theme and its data format is not compatible with newer themes :(

Probably Portfolio and Blog records will be more or less OK. However you’ll need to re-populate Albums. All you images will be available in Media Gallery so you do not need to re-upload them.

I think this theme will be perfect for my website, but I have some pre-purchase concerns. User “lsabute” mentioned that the galleries cannot be sorted, since that was 5 months ago, I was wondering if this has been fixed?

I will need to create masonry gallieries which open in a lightbox and support lazy-loading and sorting by date/name. Is this at all possible?

Hi,
Please be more descriptive about these two features, so I’m 100% sure we’re talking about same things.

Galleries are not sortable, however albums (2-level galleries) are.

Almost every lightbox plugin utilizes the lazy loading. One built into Armada is no exception.

Will sorted galleries be supported in an upcoming version? I basically want the images uploaded to the WP media library to be displayed in a fullscreen page with a masonry layout. These images would then be sorted by upload date (newest at top of page)

Displaying images by date is a standard feature. I thought we’re talking about “interactive sorting/filtering” :)

> I basically want the images uploaded to the WP media library

That’s not how Galleries work in Armada. There is a “Photo Albums” post type. You upload your images to Albums (of course they’ll be present in WP Media Library as well) and can display content of desired albums on desired pages. This system is much more convenient them hand-picking every photo in WP Media Library!

Hi, I’ve tried adding image links to a slideshow and an Album using PhotoScroller As per your guide: http://guide.dream-theme.com/armada/user-guide/slideshows/ “image link – adds a link to a slide;”

Image links do not work – but video links do.

Is there a bug? Thanks

Is there a way to set links to open in same page?

Currently they are target=”_blank”

This is not good for internal links to galleries, projects etc…

Thanks

Thanks!

Is there a setting for photoscroller links to open in same window instead of default new window? Is there a hot fix?

Is it possible to create a page without any header with armada template?

Hi,
Yes. There’s a dedicated “Micro site” page template which allows disabling header.

Hi. I’m looking for a new theme and among my candidates I have both Armada and The 7. What would you say are the big differences between them? Should I choose Armada over The 7 just because its newer?

Hello,
Generally speaking, Armada is more lightweight, purpose build (photography) version of The7. 

In the same time, The7 has more design options, more features (even related to showcasing photography stuff), better plugins compatibility and, being a multi-purpose theme with huge user-base, receives update much more frequently. It’s a bit heavier, though.

If you do not know which one to choose and do not need a “photography theme”, I recommend going for The7, as it’s more versatile.

Thanks! The 7 it is. Now it up to my client to choose from my selection :)

You are welcome!

BTW, you can shoot me a PM if you need a bit more details on The7: http://themeforest.net/user/Dream-Theme#contact

Dear theme makers!

Great theme! Is it possible to show a video in the home slider?

Thanks for the support!

Hello,
There’s an option to add video slide in porthole slider. But there’s no auto-play feature. It must be activated by user manually

Presale question – is it possible on the home page to have an image wall where each picture links to a category page? My client can show a image and vague details about a product he designed but due to non-disclosure agreements is unable to give enough details to warrant an entire page dedicated to the product. He would prefer to have a category page and just list his design knowledge and capabilities there.

Thanks,

Hi,
If I understood you correctly, it will be a bit tricky, but possible.

In your case image wall consist of portfolio projects. Each projects will have a “link” custom field set to desired category.

Hi, sorry for the delayed response – Thanks for your answer! I didn’t think of using custom fields to do this, guess that is why you are the expert :)

L

Hi,
I mis-used the “custom field” words. There already is such field :) You do not need to add custom code whatsoever.

(I just used a technical term without realizing that it can confuse people. Sorry.)

Just purchased and downloaded the FULL package…. installed and see lots of missing items from the full install with demo content… demo content was not included in the full download ? what did I (you) miss?

looks like I am getting a different package via the DL page now… must be my mistake

Hi,
Thanks for update!

Hi. I’m thinking of purchasing this theme, but will need to set it up on a dummy domain initially, then change the domain name once the site is ready. I’m setting up a new site to take over from an old one, but the old one needs to stay online until the new site is ready.

Does this have any licensing implications? It will only be active on one domain at a time. I’m guessing it requires my purchase code initially, but will it then deactivate if I change the domain name? I’m worried I won’t be able to use it once I change the domain to the final name.

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,
There’s no problem in setting up your new site on testing domain and then moving it to main domain. No additional license required.

BTW, I recommend using a “Duplicator” plugin to easily transfer site from testing to main server ;)

Thanks for that. It’s actually going to be set up in the final location with a dummy hosting domain name. I’ll then modify the proper domain config to point at the new location, so strictly speaking, it won;t actually be ‘moving’ as such. I’ll still take a look at the ‘duplicator’ plugin though – could be useful in the future!

Hi!

i use your theme for my own business. Since a few weeks, the contact Form doesn’t work exactly.

i fill all the fields, click “send”, the “loading circle” is turning and turning and turning …. i received the Email, but there comes no Success Message “the Message was sent successfully!” ... the status circle is always tumbling …

theres one contact form: http://www.veresdesign.de/hochzeit/

Can you password protect the galleries in this theme? I have not found any way to do this mentioned on your demo. Also can you just have the lightbox show a single image instead of a slider?

Hello,
Yes, to both questions.

Hi,

Please have a look on the front page slider, why the texts over the picture are not the same as on the demo? Are we missing something?

Hi, I have a little trouble with albums, I like the way you show albums, the issue is when you click on one album you have only 4 ways to layout the photos and I don’t like them, I would like to link the album to a “photos masonry or grid” element because it gives me more flexibility and freedom. I read a comment that there is an update coming with this feature about 6 months ago. How can I solve this?

This is the original comment I refer to: ” Hi Dream Theme Authors,

You definitely deserve this name. I love the theme. There is at the moment only one thing I am struggling with. I created an album page that shows the main picture of each album. This is exactly the way I like it. However, when I click on it, it will bring me to a gallery page, which has limited customization capabilities. I was able to create a page based on Gallery – masonry & grid template with some text on top and the gallery showing full width in masonry style. This is perfect. But I cannot link the album with the overview to this created page, nor can I modify the gallery view to the desired style I just mentioned.”

Your answer: “Hello, Thanks for feedback!

If I understood you correctly you want to make an Inner Album Page to have a masonry layout? Working on it. This feature is coming early in New Year.”

Any update? I really want to implement this

Does any other template have this capability? the 7?

Hi,
Please contact me via PM: http://themeforest.net/user/dream-theme#contact
Thanks!

Hello, before buying, I have two questions -

I can add a button to change the view of an album? To be added at the bottom right, near to the functions (thumbs, play, full screen) to view the gallery in the grid? look here [link removed]

I can see the sidebar transparent image in full screen? like this [link removed] but only on the homepage as intro slideshow full screen? Can you help me to develop these two functions? Many thanks in advance. Gerardo

You can help me?

how much does this customization?

Hello,
You can request a quote via our Custom Shop: http://custom.dream-theme.com
