hey , i have purchased and installed your theme. But i am not able to adjust the width of the theme. It is on full width now. Now do i adjust that.

Hi,

I need to see it live. Please share your URL.

Lubos

This is personally my favourite theme ever! I had a website up in a day! One small query;

I recently updated the theme (Latest), and Wordpress(Latest – 4.3?) and the website has gone completely haywire while viewing on a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch. I understand this must be an issue with the Visual Composer. It says current version 4.4.3 and minimum required is 4.6.2. Where is the license for this? How do I solve this?

This is extremely urgent for my client and a quick reply will be much appreciated!

This website is www.acufire.com

Thanks!

Hi,

this is not a Visual Composer issue. Your skin file doesn’t exist: http://www.acufire.com/wp-content/themes/bluecollar/library/css/skin/acufire.css

If you want to go back to the default skin, check out Theme Options / Styling

Lubos

Perfect! The custom css file must’ve gotten deleted in the Theme update. Fixed now, thanks a bunch for this.

Best,

Worksmith

You should use Child Theme to prevent such issues.

i tried installing theme. i am getting error saying the theme is missing style.css

Hi,

you are trying to install the wrong file. Please follow the documentation.

Lubos

ok thanks. i have uploaded it via ftp.

Hi there, I bought this theme recently and tried to install but it does not look like as same as the demo theme of yours. I wanted exactly the same theme that you are selling and seems like if it cant be fixed by me. Are you able to update the theme same as you are selling? Regards

thanks

Hi,

please follow the documentation. If you’ve already imported demo content, don’t forget to set up your front and blog pages. Images seen in demo are NOT included.

BTW, comments are public, you shouldn’t paste your credentials here. Use PM.

Finally i am able to configure your theme properly and seems like quite advance theme with lots of options. I must admit great theme. However, i can not find “footer text” option in footer setting. Also, a description under CTA? Could you elaborate it plz.

Footer text is under Theme Options / Footer Setting – it is the last option on that page.

Same for CTA, you can find it under Theme Options / Footer Setting. However this setting can be overriden separately for each page. Just edit the page, scroll down to Page Settings, switch to Footer and set Footer CTA to Custom.

Hi,

Great theme, I am having a few issues finding and turning off some things.

1. I would like to change blue background on the page header. To a picture? For example, the About us page was a blue gradient, I want to upload an image. How can I do that? I wasn’t able to find Custom Enabled section.

2. I would like to change the skin? I want the colours to be darker?

3. how can i change the blue gradient. I created a new png file?

Here my site: http://stanford.rlambo.ca/wp/

I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you R

Hi,

if you want to create your custom skin, please read this.

Blue gradient is created via CSS. To get rid of it, use this Custom CSS:

.page-header-top-inner:before,
.page-header-top-inner { background: none; }

To add a picture to page header, define page’s featured image.

Lubos

Hi Lubos, thanks. one

1. The image size for the header images on each of the pages is quite stretched is there a particular size it seems stretched although http://stanford.rlambo.ca/wp/about

2. Home page I have six “services” however, I would like the Hydraulic one to be linked to an actual url. I used a custom key, and inserted the url address no luck.

3. Secondly, I would like to increase the menu height so I can Increase the logo. How would I be able to do that?

Thanks in advance

1. Layout is responsive, so it will always be stretched to full width. You will have to do some trial and error to make it look as you want unfortunately. Images in my demo are approximately 2000×1200px.

2. Something like that can be done via htaccess file. I am not an expert in this field so you will have to hire a freelancer if you need help with it. This is not a WP feature but more like server one. You basically need to redirect http://stanford.rlambo.ca/wp/services/hydraulic/ URL to another URL

3. Use this Custom CSS:

.header-branding .brading-logo img { max-height: 100px; }

This value limits max height of the logo image. By default, it is set to 50px. Your image height has to be at least the same as that value to see any difference, e.g. if your image height is 50px and you set that CSS to 100px, you won’t see any difference, because it only limits the size, not sets it.

Hello There

Thanks for an amazing theme! I am trying to translate a few strings with WPML but for some strange reason the strings are not translated on the front page. one is the “more info” when i add service section to home page second is “your email address” at the mailchimp widget

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks in advance

Oshri

Hi,

there are actually two “more info” strings. One is part of theme itself and other one is part of LSVR Toolkit (Blue Collar) plugin. You have to translate both. All widget strings are part of LSVR Toolkit plugin as well.

hello

Dear sir/madam,

I am having a small challenge. I have bought and installed the Blue Collar Handyman Theme for a clients website. However, the client has requested that we add a full screen slider just below the menus and above the header bar.

Everything that I have tried has failed so far. Are there any hints and tips that you may be able to share with me?

My purchase code is:e303052a-45c9-4e2b-a5a4-e5f5549e912f

Kind regards,

Hi,

are you talking about this layout? If so, then you just need to use appropriate layout template in Visual Composer. Please read the documentation.

Lubos

Hi,

Thank you very much for the response. That is the layout, although I was going to incorporate a full screen Revolution Slider. Let me give it a go using the suggested layout. I will certainly update you as updated.

Hello LSVRthemes, I highly recommend you create the ability to easily change colors within the admin area without going through the complicated steps in the documentation. You can place the easier option within the Style section of Theme Options so the user can easily choose colors from a standard color chart or paste a hex color code to change the primary colors of the website. I am talking about the option to choose any color of your choice. This theme deserves this feature It will also be great to add the option to easily change background and header colors without touching code within Theme Option area. Please consider this update. It will help users a great deal. The current documentation is kinda confusing to a lot of us. You may need to create a video tutorial to help us with skin color change. It’s a bit confusing to follow and easy to miss. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

thanks for suggestion. I understand that the current way is far from ideal, but I do not plan to do any major changes to it. I will consider to do it bit easier in the future though.

Lubos

Hello… just need help real quick. In General Settings when I input a social channel (Facebook), it only gives me one icon: A peace sign. How do I get a Facebook icon to show up?

Hi,

make sure that you are using latest version of the theme (1.1.8). Each field represents different social network, so you need to input your FB link to the right one.

Lubos

Hello There

You have an amazing theme! I have i strange problem with this theme: I guess that one of the plugins is causing an issue, I cant move to next pages in pages, some functions I cant press like deactivate in plugin area and more similar stuff that i cant press. After i deactivate all plugins and reactive them i found that this plugin is causing the problem: WPML Multilingual CMS.

And idea why this happens or how i can solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Oshri

Hi,

hard to tell. WPML should work fine as long as I know. You should try to seek help in their support forum. If they won’t be able to help you, get back to me and I will try to take a look at it.

Lubos

Hi Lubos

Thanks for the quick reply. I cant post something in the support forum has i didn’t buy this plugin. Any other idea how we can solve this?

Thanks in advance

Oshri

Well, if you haven’t purchased it, it is possible that you don’t have the latest version which can be the cause.

Hello!

Love you theme, quick question: How can I change the color of the text on the Services tab? The icons are yellow and the text is white. Because of the photos I’m using, I need that text to be yellow or black possibly.

Hello! Try to add following code to your own CSS file or via Theme Options | Custom CSS:

.c-service .service-header a { color: #ffc64a; }
For black colour use color: #000.

Does all stock imagery come with theme? Also, do all vector images come with theme too?

Hello. No, stock images are not included in themes. Icons are part of the theme.

Hi, links of the menu “services” (in header) are redirecting to services. How should I proceed to get redirection to “page” ? Thank you in advance. YM

But you can add this directly into service. You can enable Visual Composer for services under Visual Composer / General Settings – check lsvrservice (just resave those settings if it is already checked). Then just use VC layout template to recreate the service content as per demo.

Thank you for your reply ! Could you pleas tell me how to “align right” quick contact info in the header ?

You can just change following CSS (add it into your custom CSS file or via Theme Options / Custom CSS):
.page-header-bar-left { float: right; }
.page-header-bar-left { float: left; }

Dear sir/madam,

I am 95% through with setting up a website for a client. The site name is www.bluetek.co.zw

I need your help with one final adjustment. I have been requested to add a simple full width slider by my client. My only problem is, I am failing to setup the slider immediately below the menu bar.

Are there any instructions that you may give to me to help me achieve this objective?

Kind regardsm

Hi,

if you mean something like this, then just use desired layout template with correct page template. Please read this chapter in documentation.

Lubos

Hello, is it possible to add more widgets to the service sidebars? Thanks.

Hi,

unfortunately, currently not, but it’s a good suggestion.

Lubos

Hello, I have a trouble. I can’t change “MORE INFO” text in services thumbnails. I’ve in 5 line <key name=”header_cta_link” /> in my wpml-config.xml. My site is here: http://www.qubika-remonty.pl. See my screenshots: http://screenshooter.net/1170096/27_07_2015__23_16_44 http://screenshooter.net/1170096/27_07_2015__23_17_23

I’ve found it here: wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-bluecollar/shortcode-generator/shortcodes/services.php …

Hi Lubbos,

I can’t find the Project page under the templates. Right now my projects are linked to the demo page. I was trying to built my project page.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance, Manuela

Hi,

you can create projects under Projects. Please read the documentation.

Lubos

I got the background to work on the testimonial area. Thanks Lubbos! Manuela

Glad you sorted it out :)
