Several issues. Please address all. Thanks.
1 How do I import custom icons in the “Included” section? There seems to be no guidance to the size or how to import the files.
2 Is it possible to remove the “highlighting” or “shading” from around the Slide Heading 1 and Slide Heading 2?
3 I can’t seem to get the navigation menu at the top to work so that when, for example, the “Contact” link is clicked the page moves to that area.
4 Is there some way to spread the text in the “About the Author” section across the page.
FYI…the website is Mokapu360.com.
Thanks!
Hello and thx for your purchase. What do you mean by “adressing all”? Cheers, Erik
Very strange…it appears that the middle of the message was stripped out. Two things right now: 1. How do I change icons in the “Between the Covers” section [see website]. You have a place to enter some sort of code, but there is no explanation I can find to figure out what codes enables what icons. 2. Is there a way to remove the shading around the larger text in the sliders (e.g., on my website, the title of the book). Thanks, Ray p.s. Overall very pleased with the theme, although it does seem to load slowly.
I’m sorry to hear that you found difficult to figure out the usuage of some fields, however I strongly believe that the included theme documentation is more than enough, every basic step of the theme installion, usuage and customization is explained in details with also screenshot images for reference at almost every step..
- Please read the corresponding part of the documentation: Set Up Includes
- Add this to the bottom of your styles.css file:
.slide h1, .slide h2 { background: transparent; }
Thanks, Eric. In regards to the first problem, the link in theme does NOT take you to the reference chart. It takes you to a home page that wants you to download a file. Suggest you link to this: http://fontawesome.io/icons/, instead. I did eventually find that page, but it is not at all clear. In regards to the second question, the only “styles.css” file I have in the theme is within the contact form. There is no other “styles.css” file within the entire directory. Perhaps you mean a different file? Thanks.
Well you only need to enter the font icon name after you chose the desired icon from the icon reference page, like fa-user and so on.
Sorry, it’s actually style.css in your theme folder root. Let me know if u need further assistance with this.
Cheers, Erik
hello eric
i have a problem with the pagespeed of my website. i checked it with google pagespeed (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed) and i get only 62 points for my website (www.transsib-info.com). i dont know how to improve this
please help
greets patrick
Hi Patrick,
Don’t worry about it. If you run a quick speed test check on http://google.com/ for example (53 points at the moment) and you will see how unreliable it is! 
Aren’t you using too many additional plugins on your site? Those can really slow down the page loading time..
Cheers, Erik
ok thx
No problem 
Hello! Pre-purchase question: Is it possible to add several books with this template?
Hello! Unfortunately FlatBook is a one-page theme basically, so there’s no build-in option for creating multiple pages.
However you can always have multiple wordpress installions on your webhost, so you will be able to manage & customize each wordpress installs as a separate landing page created with flatbook, for each promoted book you have. Cheers, Erik
There is no Instagram Social Link. How can I do that? Can I replace one of the icons with Instagram? Thanks
- Open your footer.php file, from your theme folder
- After line 31 (before the closing
/ultag), add this:<a href="http://www.instagram.com/user"><i class="fa fa-instagram" /></a>
- Change the sample instagram link url to yours
Hi Erik. I have my website pretty perfect now, but I cannot find out how to do one more thing. When using a mobile device, the mockup tablet scrolls too fast to read easily. How can I alter the line scrolling on the mockup tablet. I saw another site using flatbook that had drastically slowed it down. Thanks in advance. My website is: www.iainrobwright.com
Hello, thanks for your purchase! Open up your custom.js file from your /js folder and on line 246 try to play around with the “wheelStep” attribute what is responsible for the scrolling speed of the tablet reader.
You can learn more about the js plugin, what handles the tablet reader here. Hope that helps!
Cheers, Erik
hey eric i have a strange problem here and i cant figure it out.
from 10 reloads i get 1 which shows my site perfect. the other 9 times, the CSS is kind of not loaded. —i see pictures and text etc but not setup how it supposed to!
do you have an idea, what the problem might be? check it out www.transsib-info.com
thanks
Weird indeed..
I checked your site, all of the css stylesheets are loaded properly and there’s no error shown in the js console, so i’m pretty sure about this issue is somehow related to one of the additionally installed plugins on your site.
I would suggest to deactivate all of the custom installed plugins first and you will see if it solves it or not. Let me know how it worked out.
Cheers, Erik
... i think its a bandwith problem … never mind
Yeah that’s also possible.. try to contact the support of your hosting provider than. Cheers, Erik
Hi Eric
quick question: is it possible to add multiple authors? im missing this feature in a lot of ebook themes. hope yours supports it 
thanks
Hello, there’s no option for multiple authors by default, but if you have some experience in php development, you will be able to customize the default author section to feature multiple authors. Cheers, Erik
thanks eric
is there maybe the possibility to add the author section twice? (below each other)
Not from the wordpress admin, but you can copy the source code of the author section and paste it below the existing author content. Cheers, Erik
thanks eric. is it gonna be a copy of the original section or will i be able to edit it in the wordpress admin.
thanks a lot for your patience
It will be a copy of the original section what you will need to edit manually in the source code. Cheers, Erik
oook eric …
i need some more help. i found the template file. i guess the author informations are stored in the DB.. right?
Right. If you don’t know how to start with my suggestiom, feel free to send me over your ftp login details to your site in email, and i will do the duplication in your template-about.php file in order to have multiple authors in the author section. Cheers, Erik
thx eric. send you an email with the login details.
hey eric … dont want to push but did you get my email? – thanks
Sure, just replied!
Cheers, Erik
Hi Erik. Hi have bought FlatBook (3724ac6e-0225-40d9-9619-44b597e40411) and downloaded it, but when I upload to WP I get the error message:
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed.
Please can you advise on what i need to do?
Many thanks
Peter
Hi Peter, thanks for your purchase! You tried to upload the whole downloaded package folder instead of the theme zip file. Unzip the downloaded package and upload the file in the /theme folder. Cheers, Erik
Ok many thanks. Rookie mistake. Will give that a go!
No problem
Let me know if you need further assistance. Cheers, Erik
Hi I’m going to need some more help please. None of these work:
themeforest-6023410-flatbook-flat-ebook-selling-wordpress-theme.zip flatbook_theme_1.3.1 flatbook-theme.zip
they all say: Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed.
You need to install the flatbook-theme.zip file at Dashboard > Appearance > Themes. If you have already done this and still doesn’t work that means the file size of the zipped theme folder is larger than the maximum file size what can be uploaded through the wordpress admin area.
In this case, please upload the theme via ftp. You can learn more about the process at the installion part of the theme documentation.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Erik
Excellent! Done – thanks for the advice Erik.
I have downloaded YOUR template and of course and making the changes to the content… but there are some parts of yours that I can’t seem to delete. For example, this under ‘chapter overviews’ “Add as many chapters or content boxes as you wish with a custom post type called overviews. The first four elements are always shown, while the rest can be seen when you click on the show more button below. Try it! ” Where is the box for me to put in my own content in place of this, please?
found it…
Great to hear that you have already found it. Cheers, Erik
Hello, I have problems to import demo content (error 500). So, is it possible to get the home sample in another way? Thanks.
Solved! 
Hello, thanks for your purchase and update notice!
Happy customizing!
Cheers, Erik
Hello, unfortunately now I have another problem 
How I can add the bar as per “GET OUR FREE 5+1 LESSONS STARTER COURSE” seen here: http://demo.eriktailor.com/flatbook-wordpress-2/?
I tried to add in theme options/Home sections a new section. But then? I’m not able to add a custom text.
Thanks.
Actually it is the expandable contact bar, the same element as this from the original theme demo.
You can reorder and rewrite it at any time from your theme options panel, but please note that you can have only one sections / page of each type.
Cheers, Erik
1. I added 5 testimonials and the name is duplicate why? 2. I need 2 pages of includes, how can i to make it? <<<- the most important 3. I need to change the color of the botton from overview (show less – read more)
in the #3. We can to hide show less and read more, and show all chapters without button or we can to change the color from this button(only this button)
Hi & thanks for your purchase!
- It’s only the
alt="..."attribute of the image. Upload avatar image for your testimonials, and it will disappear. - I’m afraid you can’t do that.. you can have only one sections of each type. A solution could be, if you copy the html source code of the existing includes, and paste it into the “Custom” section.
- You mean the background color of the orange “Ver más” button? If yes, add this to the bottom of your styles.css file:
.btn.loadmore { background-color: #yourColor; }
Cheers, Erik
Gracias, thank you for your amazing support, i am very hahpy with your support and excellent theme
Your welcome
I’m really happy to hear that, keep up good work! Cheers, Erik
Readyyyyy, my ploblems are fixeds thank to u.

Cheers, Erik
Hi,
I would like to replace the Video Review section with a text section of the sales copy instead. How do I remove the benefits? I have already created a customer section which contains other information, so I guess I am unable to have more than one customer section.
Thanks, Bekah
Hello Bekah, thanks for your purchase!
I’m afraid i’m not quite sure about what would you like to achieve.. Can you send me your site link? You can use my themeforest profile’s contact form here. A few screenshots with brief explanation of each task would be also helpful…
Cheers, Erik
Hi, how can i to put in the middle only 1 table of prices.

Hi and thanks for your purchase! Please send me over your site link and i will give you the correct css adjustment to render properly, centered
Cheers, Erik
Add this to the very bottom of your style.css file:
.offers .price-table { margin: 0 0 100px 250px !important; }
Cheers, Erik
, excellent work and excellent support, thanks
Thanks!
Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
I have just installed the theme on a brand-new Wordpress website runningthe latest 4.3 Wordpress.
I received a bunch of errors listed below and the live website, although still the default, looks very very bare.
Help?

Hello and thanks for your purchase!
Looks weird.. Can you send me over the link and wordpress login details to your site in email – via my themeforest profile’s contact form here?
I need to see your site and backend to see what might be wrong.
Cheers, Erik
I need to get access to the demo 2 files. I saw in other comments that I needed to email you in order to receive those but still haven’t. Can I get access please?
Hey, thx for your purchase! Just replied to your email and attached demo2 files. Cheers, Erik
Hi, Can I get a copy of the demo content for DEMO 1 please – if its available. cheers
Gary
Ignore this – found it.
Hi Gary! Ok, thanks for your purchase and update notice. Let me know if you need further assistance while customizing the theme. Cheers, Erik
I am an author and am building a website for my book. I have purchased the flatbook theme from themeforest.
I am unable to configure the pages properly in this theme. Please let me know if I send you the userid and password of the wp-admin whether you will be able to set it up properly.
Hello and thanks for your purchase!
Please be more specific when describing an issue: what do you mean exactly when saying “unable to configure the pages properly”... ?
You can send me your admin login details in email, via my themeforest profile’s contact form here. In your email, please leave a reminder of this comment as a reference, and describe the noticed issue with more details.
Cheers, Erik
Hello, I purchased the 1.1 version of the theme, and if i want to update the theme to the latest 1.3.1 will this delete all my content on the site? Also how do i update the theme, this might seem like an obvious question, but just learning the ropes with wordpress, not a developer just a designer. Thanks
Hello and thanks for your purchase! If you haven’t made any modification in the theme source php files manually, just overwrite the whole theme folder with the fresh (v1.3.1) files at yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/. Cheers, Erik
Hello! Quick question: if I install this theme on our wordpress website and in the future change our domain name and transfer everything over, will the theme need to be re-installed? And if so, will that be an issue with the license? Cheers!
Hey there! The single license is basically like 1 license / 1 website created with the theme. So your hosting provider doesn’t influence the availability of your purchased license. Cheers, Erik
Hi there:
Flatbook is SUCH a beautiful theme. I’d love to purchase it but I do have a few questions.
I noticed there hasn’t been an update since 2014 and since then, there has been 3 wordpress updates. Is the theme still compatible.
Also, this is of utmost importance: -Would we be able to have 4 pricing tables instead of 3 -Could we install tracking pixels to the “Purchase Now” buttons on the pricing tables to track conversions? We currently work w/ an Adwords team who utilizes pixels from Kenshoo to track sales. I can provide sample pixel code if need be.
Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks for your appreciation, i’m happy that you like it.
Altough it hasn’t been updated since a while, it should be compatible with the latest version of WordPress, without any problems. In case you purchased it – and maybe noticing any issue / bug related to the version – just text me know, and i will solve it.
Yes, you can have 4 pricing tables. It is a default setting from the Pricing Options of the Theme Options panel.
There is no build-in option for tracking conversion buttons, but i’m sure there are many additional, free WordPress Plugins what can handle this task.
Cheers, Erik
Thanks so much, I am going to purchase and give it a go!
Great, happy customizing than
Cheers, Erik
Thanks loving the theme thus far.
One issue though: No matter where i move it, the “Features” section overlaps with the next section (in my case “About The Company”)
Here is the link to my site: http://accreditedinvestor.co/
Do you have a solution for this?
Glad to hear that 
#features {
width: 100%;
height: 170px;
}
If you delete the height: 170px rule, it will be fixed.
Cheers, Erik
thanks!
Your welcome
Cheers, Erik
Hi, me again 
I got the above issue resolved, however if you click “features” from the menu bar at the top, which takes you to this page: http://accreditedinvestor.co/what-you-will-learn/
You’ll notice the spacing is off.
Can you please advise on how to fix this?
It was a bug in one of the previous version of the theme, for now it has been fixed. I assume the most easy way to solve it in your case, is if you add the following snippet to the bottom of your style.css file:
.eight.columns.include-box {
display: inline;
float: left;
height: 130px;
width: 450px;
}
Let me know how it worked out! Cheers, Erik
That worked like a charm, thanks!
Last thing!
Is there any way to change the background color of the contact form section from salmon/pink to just plain white?
Great, your welcome! 
.page-id-1236 .contact-form { background: white; }
Cheers, Erik
Thanks!!!
Your welcome 
Is there a way to have ONE of the pricing table buttons read “Read More” while the rest of my pricing table buttons read “Buy Now”? Thanks!
Sure, with some additional jquery modification.
Open the custom.js file from the /js/ folder (within your theme files), and add the following snippet around line 357 (just above the closing “End Document” comment):
$('.price-table').eq(0).children('.btn').text('Read More');
This example code is for the first pricing table, if you would like to have the ‘Read More’ button on the second pricing table, modify the .eq(0) part to .eq(1) and so on..
Cheers, Erik
Thanks for your help. I don’t see to have a custom.js file just the following: custom-backround.js custom-backround-min.js custom-head.js custom-controls.js custom-controls.min.js custom-nav-menus.js custom-nav-menus.min.js
would it be in one of those?
Nope.. Something like this: yoursite/wordpress/wp-content/themes/FlatBook/js/custom.js. Cheers, Erik
Did the trick! Thanks a TON 
Your welcome
Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
