Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to add the like count on project pages as it is on the post, and if there is an easy solution ? So far i managed to insert the counter a custom way but i don’t know how i can link it to the jsscript so it actually counts… Thanks !

Glad to hear that!

I’m afraid it does require a bit more algorithms in order to make it as you said. :)

Robert

It is not possible in “simple” css ? Sorry I’m still a rookie !

No problem! Unfortunately, we can’t just do it with CSS.

Very touching theme. We are an organization, an NGO, good at projects, not IT. So, would it be possible and easy to adapt PILE at our work, which works more with words than pictures? I guess we can also have a blog on PILE. Thank you. Radu

Hi Radu,

Thank you for showing interest in Pile!

Pile is a pretty easy theme in terms of setting it up and using it, so I don’t think there would be problems regarding that. Please have a closer look at the documentation for more details:

I can’t say exactly if it would work better with words than pictures, but I recommend trying to look over our portfolio of themes – something tells me you’ll find the one you like. :)

Thanks,
Robert

Thanks… from Romania (I see know) :)

Hey guys- love this theme and thinking about buying it. One question – are there any other options for the blog page? I am not stoked on how there is a black border around all the images. It doesn’t seem to go with the rest of the theme? Can I grid it more or just remove the border?

Thanks,

Hey,

Thank you for your kind words! :)

Yes, you can either remove the border via the following custom CSS snippet. Unfortunately, you can’t grid the Blog Archive but you can grid Projects Archive via Customizer.

.site-content--journal .pile-item-wrap {
    border: none !important;
}

Hello, i would like to buy the theme, but i’ve 2 questions before. As the expression says “one picture is worth a thousand words” :

http://bit.ly/1OusQQQ

Is it possible to do what I describe in the image above ?

Thanks in advance

Hi there Paul,

Thank you for showing interest in Pile! :)

Regarding the changes that you are trying to make, sure, they can be done but only by some custom work on the theme due to the complexity of the modifications and the assistance of a developer.

I hope that was helpful, but anyway let us know if we can help you with something else. :)

Thanks,
Robert

First of all, thanks for your quick answer Robert.

Modifications would be done in the CSS, HTML or Javacript ?

I ask this question because i would be “comfortable” doing some css/html modifications but not really with js modifications.

You’re welcome!

I’m afraid thistype of changes require some Javascript as well because this is how they’re done at the moment.

Hello Alin, First Awesome work on this and also well documented!

I just got one major issue when I try to migrate from local to the distant server : projects tab missing in backoffice and 404 on all project who are displayed correctly on the homepage. PixTypes extension is installed but not displayed in the settings. (tried manual migration and also backupbuddy & duplicator pluggin).

Let me know if you have any solution to fix this.

Many thanks!

Hello! :)

I understand the issues you have and it seems to be something related to the permalink settings. Can you open a ticket on our HelpDesk for us to investigate it properly? Also, please attach your Dashboard credentials.

Looking forward for your reply.

Ok I finally found a solution with the “all-in-one-wp-migration” pluggin, installing first the same wordpress version then importing backup. The local configuration is perfectly restored. No idea what happened with other plugging.

Sorry for the late comeback! I’m glad to hear that the problem was solved successfully! :)

hi

Hey Deks!

Sorry, but there is no RTL support for the moment. However, I’ve added this as a feature request here.

- Alex

  • Fixed logo and menu lightness change issues
View the full changelog hereEnjoy!

Hello

After I upgraded to Wordpress 4.3 the Customize tab in the Appearance section stopped working properly.

The first buttons works fine but if you for examples press Sizes and Spacing the sidebar just become black and the white button in the top is only 35 procent visible.

Screenshot: http://postimg.org/image/86wakbih9/

Can you please fix this?

Best regards, Alexander Grote

Hi Alexander,

I’m sorry to see you’re facing some problems, but Wordpress 4.3 came with a lot of changes therefore that’s why it became so faulty.

The good news is that we’re working on the update as we speak and we’ll release a new one quite soon.

Stay tuned!

Thanks
Robert

Awesome! Thank you :-)

Hi, I’m triyng to replace your custom editor in portfolio post (boxes with text-editor and images-editor) with the default wordpress editor, cause I need to add the visual composer plugin and it doesn’t work with your customization. Infact in regular pages and post the VC composer works well. Please could you tell me in wich files I have to change code and possibly in wich way? Thanks, Paolo

Hi Paolo,

Unfortunately, the type of change that you’d like to make requires a lot of work and I believe a developer can assist you with. We recommend Codeable and Werkpress as places where you can look around for a developer.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi! Perfect theme :) looks really good but how can i remove the category name & date of my posts in the hero area? Thanks a lot

Thanks! works perfect :) Another thing: how can I set a video as my hero area within a post? It seems to me as if this would only work in projects? is there maybe a css I could add or something? THX

Ok forget the last one. I’ve solved this my own.

Last question: within the gallery view, the images I add look like this:

A D

B E

C F

instead of this:

A B

C D

E F

you know anything to fix it? I’ve already tried to add align=”left” but it didn’t change anything. Thank you for your support!!

It shouldn’t happen like this unless there’s a masnory gallery. In order to better investigate this, please use our HelpDesk and open a ticket.

Thanks,
Alin

Hi,

Really it is awesome but I put portfolio archive page template to my home page. But hover effect on projects container sizes are different. I have tried with same size of feature image project picture. But nothing happens. Please let me know how can I set same container size for all projects while hover in homepage. Please check at http://www.craftconcepts.co.in/. And reply me soon….

Thank You

Hi there,

Thank you for the kind words! :)

I can see on your website that the hover effects are a bit rough on the animations. Therefore I recommend and update first to the latest version. Please remember to backup your theme before the update.

If you want to set the same size for the projects you can go to Appearance-> Customizer-> Archive Grid-> and uncheck the Enable 3D grid.

Also, if you are still facing problems after the update regarding the hover effect, can you open a ticket on our HelpDesk maybe, so we can investigate this properly?

Looking forward for you reply.

Thanks,
Robert

I really like this theme and was about to buy it except that it doesn’t have filtering option for the portfolio. Any plans to add that?

Hi there,

I’m glad to see your interest in Pile! :)

At the moment we don’t have it planned, but you can make a feature request here. If other people vote for it I’m sure we’ll find a way to do it. :)

Have a nice weekend,
Robert

Hi, i’m already your client with “Border” theme. I want to buy “Pile” theme now but i need to change 2 things. I hop it’s possible cause you already helped me for same things on border.

1 – I want to center on the top the name of the website ( as mine www.bruce-costa.com ) 2 – Disable right click for save images

Hope you will add “previous & next” in Journal too.

Thank you so much,

Bruce

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the answers.

When i bought “Border” theme a guy ( Radu ) gave me this code :

.border-menu { font-size: 20px; } .site-home-title { display: none; } .menu-top—left__container { width: 100%; } #menu-newmenu { text-align: center; }

I don’t know if could be the same for this theme.

Who can help me? Have i to wrote to ticket?

Thanks

Bruce

Hi Robert,

i forgot one thing…Button prev/next on blog? I was looking old comments where others people ask about it. I’ve seen that you was thinking about it…nothing again?

I think is very important to move inside blog, website need to be fast and easy for clients.

Thanks

Bruce

Hey Bruce,

I’m sorry for the delay, but regarding the mentioned feature, I don’t have an update about it. The good thing though is that we’re keeping it in mind.

About the CSS code, I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve but in order to handle better this you’re welcome to visit our HelpDesk and open a new topic or a new ticket and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. :)

Thanks,
Robert

How to activate SHOP page..?

Hey,

After you install WooCommerce you can easily install the WooCommerce pages by going into WooCommerce-> System Status-> Tools-> and hit Install pages next to the Install WooCommerce Pages .

Thanks, Robert

Hi, I’m a complete newby to website building. I have successfully installed PILE but when I go to use the Theme Options from the top menu bar to upload my own logo, flavion, change the footer etc I get a message saying “The page you are trying to access is restricted due to a security rule”. Can you please advise what to do. Thanks!

Hi Nicky,

The issue presented above could indicate some server setting that does not play right. Could you forward this to the hosting provider as well ? If they don’t manage anything can you open a ticket on our HelpDesk for us to investigate it properly?

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi guys! Great theme. I’m looking forward to working with it more in depth. I’m trying to launch a temporary page as a place holder before I decide to publish my newly designed pages (aka launch the site). I took all the demo pages and made them drafts. I created the “home” page I want to use but I can’t seem to declare it as the Front Page. Advice? See website here: http://alysestone.com/

Hi there!

Thank you for the kind words! :)

Now, you can try and use a coming soon plugin which puts your website on a maintenance mode, to make everything easier. About the front page issue, have you tried setting it from Settings-> Reading -> and select the desired Home Page from there?

If the suggestion above didn’t work could you try opening a ticket on our HelpDesk please?

Thanks,
Robert

Thank you thank you :) !!

Hello, I have a question… I really love your theme, but I need a youtube video on the homepage slider… it will be possible? Thank you!

Happy Monday,
Alin

Hi. How many images can be uploaded on PORTFOLIO? Infinity? Thank a lot. Bruno

Hey Bruno!
I suppose that with Portfolio you were actually referring to the Project. You can put in a project as many pictures as you need, but you have also to take care to the file size of the pictures. In case you upload many big pictures it will result in a slow loading site, but this aspect also depends on the server. So I’d also recommend you to optimize the size of the pictures before uploading them. I hope my answer’s been helpful. :-)
Thanks,
Serban

Hey, pre-sales question here. Sorry if this has been asked already!

Can I integrate a selfhosted video in the hero on the startpage? Or is only youtube and vimeo possible?

Thank you!!

Hi there,

Thank you for your interest in the theme. :)

Unfortunately, the video option is available only for the projects. Here’s an article about it.

Thanks,
Robert

Hey guys-

Great theme but i noticed something and want to check that there is a way to fix it before I but the theme. When you add an item to your cart, there is a notification at the top right corner of the screen that 1 item has been added. However, if you navigate to any other part of the site, the notification disappears until you return to the shop. Is there any way to keep that notification there so that the viewer can see their cart at anytime and place on the site?

Thanks,

-Ivan

Hi there,

Glad to see you interested in the theme! :)

Now, the counter/cart is intentionally hidden there with some custom CSS on some specific pages, but by default it will display on every page.

Let me know if that’s what you were looking for.

Thanks,
Robert
