Hello,

I am unable to see “Import demo data.” Mentas.zip activates okay but no “Import” option.

Attempts to activate after install from the larger original download file:

themeforest-9696295-mentas-creative-portfolio-for-freelancer-agency.zip

yields this message:

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Not sure where I’m going wrong.

Thanks!

Hi Jenkins1924, thank you for purchasing Mentas theme!

There are 2 archives when you attempt to downlod

1. only theme 2. full package

The reasone why it says could not install… you browse full package, which you should unpack at first, where to browse the same copy if you download only theme.

Once you installed theme, you have to install and activate all recommended plugins. Then you will see on the left menu under Tool, import demo data as you can see in this video tutorial which come with documentation https://www.screenr.com/UdbN

Hi,

So far I’m very happy with my purchase and can greatly recommend it.

I have two questions that I would greatly appreciate some support on:

1) The website is slow to load. I tried minimizing and compromising all images, and that helped quite a lot. But what can I do to further optimize it?

2) I got an error for using too much DNS-memory a few times. My webhost recommended turning off themes and plugins. Are there any themes and plugins that are non-essential that I can remove?

Hi Resoded,

1. You can install wp total cache plugin. This will help too, though some of it features break theme, you can try turning on its options one by one. Also you can choose hosting for targeted country, for example if your targeted visitors are from Sweden, then server located in Sweden will be more suitable for you, Also it is good if your hosting is VPS, despite it is expensive than shared hosting, VPS hosting has dedicated ram and CPU. I would recommend minimum 2 GB RAM and 4 core CPU. This will be faster than sharing hosting.

Images are really matter too, I hope you correctly minimised them. Each picture in your gallery shouldn’t be more than 200 kb.

2. DNS memory has not related to theme nor to plugins. DNS is Domain Name System which responsable for domain routing.

If you would have more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask

Hi there,

Can you tell me where to find examples of the icons for the ‘Mentas Some Fun Facts’ section?

I can see the short codes but I can’t see what the image is for the short code.

Thanks

Thorpeedo

Hi Thorpeedo,

There are 2 font pack in Mentas – Font Awesome Icons and Elegant icon fonts. Some fun facts icons from Font Awesome.

So you can replace icon classes from existing classes of those 2 icon packs. You can see samples here:

Your theme description says SEO ready, but I can’t find where to enter keywords and description. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Ok, but you MUST realize that saying in your description that the theme is SEO ready implies something more than default WordPress values. Why say it at all in that case??? SEO ready implies to any reasonable human being that there will be accommodation for keywords – is your theme not setup for that?

I actually tried Yoast SEO, and it conflicts with your theme – gives a big red warning that the theme already contains a “description” meta and it can’t remove/override it. Your theme certainly does not provide a simple means of doing that either.

This isn’t SEO ready. Please advise.

SEO ready means:

Correctly coded structure for search engine crawling per example – correct tags usage in place such as h1, h2, h3, image alts, and titles, meta tags. The rest is fine to do with SEO Yoast, and pointless for us to create the same thing what ideally come with SEO Yoast.

Also in our theme meta description and title automatically taken from content. However if you don’t want this, you can easily fix it.

An error message you see is “SEO Issue: Your theme contains a meta description, which blocks WordPress SEO from working properly. Please visit the SEO Dashboard to fix this” in seo Yoast. So go to SEO Yoast dashboard, and click “Fix it” button, after that your SEO Yoast meta description and title will affect

Hi there, can you tell me how to reduce the padding to the right of the logo and between the menu items please?

I just need to squeeze another menu item in and a slight reduction in padding would do it.

Many Thanks

Thorpeedo

Hi Thorpeedo, there is “Top menu logo column size” field in Appearance/Theme Settings, under Home tab, there you can select lowest value 2, to reduce space for logo.

If this not enough, you can reduce padding between menu items by adding this css code in theme settins/skins/ custom css box

.top-main-menu > li > a{
margin: 10px 5px !important;
}

5px is rewrite of 15, so you can put whatever better for you, per example 10 even… if 5 is too small

Just wanted to say thanks for the great support. Works perfectly. :-)

Your are welcome. :) If you are happy with this theme and our support, please rate 5 star. it encourage us to provide even better support.

I figured out the categories on the blogs and how to make certain post show up as testimonials and certain ones as blog posts, but I only want to see the last 3 on the page instead of it building in masonry style. Is that possible?

mrearly2801 we helped you with the support, and as we see you remained happy. Can you please change your rating to 5 from 4? You are only one who rated 4, and this break our total score.

I made the change listed above, and still have 4 blog posts showing

Please use this code.
[su_mental_blog type="masonry" load_on_scroll="no" items_per_page="2" columns_count="3"]

I want to be able to add testimonials that do not show up as blog posts on the onepage option. is that possible? if so how? also What is the CSS to stop the colored box (background) fom being associated with the testimonials

Please add this code to Custom CSS.

.testimonial blockquote {
  background-color: COLOR_CODE_HERE;
  border-left-color: COLOR_CODE_HERE;
}

Thank you again! I love the theme, and know CSS if a weak point for me, I just wish it were more intuitive specifically the rows and columns

You are most welcome

Hi,

I purchased the theme and have two questions that the guide didn’t mention (I’m completely new using wordpress btw):

1) How do I make it into a onepage setup?

2) How do I remove the comment function on pages?

Answer will be much appreciated!

Best regards, Erik

How do you remove the title and description boxes from the onepage top slider? I left both blank but do not want to see the empty boxes either

In post settings: “Mentas Theme Settings” => “Skins” => “Custom CSS”

.ls-mental-title-onepage, .ls-mental-desrc {
display:none;
}

Worked great thank you!
