I found it was impossible to add “Call to action button 2”, the button will never show, it seems something wrong with the link setting, no matter what link I sett, it shows “Undefinded” all the time.

Hello,

It looks like you are using old version of Visual Composer. Just update the plugin and try again. It should be solved.

If still not solved than please send us your site URL with admin login details via our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and our team will solve it for you.

Thanks,

Where can I upodate Visual composer? It is not in the plugs menu

Hello,

You just need to disable and remove the Visual Composer plugin and then install via our theme message. Here we described all the details:

For the 10.0 and 9.1 Howes updates my child theme doesn’t show up in the Themes Admin panel, and it’s listed at the bottom of that panel as a broken theme. If I try to upload it on my own I get the message “Destination folder already exists…theme install failed.” I’ve installed both updates using the Envato Toolkit, so everything should be installed appropriately. And I’m using WordPress 4.3, so it should be compatible – what could be causing the issue?

Hello,

That should not happen, we haven’t changed anything. Did you modified theme name or folder name? If yes than this can be happen.

Also, you can send us your site URL, admin login details and FTP login details so we can check and provide you perfect solution. Please create a new support ticket on our support system http://support.thememount.com/ and send us all the details and our team will guide you perfectly.

Thanks,
Bob

Nope, I haven’t changed anything except the contents of the child theme css file, and of course WordPress updates. I will open another ticket.

Thanks, our team will reply you with perfect solution :)

Just helping a friend. How do I change the icon in that appear on hover over images that links to the portfolio.

class=”tmicon-fa-link”

Hello,

Actually there is no direct way to edit it. But there are two options to change the icon:

  1. You can create child theme and change the icon, There is function in tools.php file which is generating the portfolio box.
  2. The another option is to change icon by custom CSS code. Here is an example: .thememount_pf_link i.tmicon-fa-link:before{ content: "\f002"; }
    This code will change the LINK icon to SEARCH icon. Just paste this code in Admin > Appearance > Theme Options > Custom Code > CSS Code box.


  3. I recommend you to go with 2nd way as it has little work to do.

    Thanks, Bob

When I use the search feature – it displays some of the shortcode that’s being displayed on the page. Anyway of not exposing that to visitors? That might freak some people out.

Hello,

That should not happen. We need to check your site. Please create a new ticket on our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and send us your site URL with admin login details so we can check it directly on your site.

On a mobile device, the header navigation exposes a mobile-friendly menu but is there any such setting for a footer navigation? Currently, my footer navigation disappears on a mobile-device. I’d like to expose a menu similar to how the header navigation works.

Hello,

The menu will be visible in all devices. I think you added more links in footer menu so it’s hiding some of them. We need to check your site for the problem. So please create a new ticket on our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and send us your site URL with admin login details so we can check it directly on your site.

All of a sudden the revolution slide has ceased to slide after the second slide, nothing has been changed or touched in weeks. Is there some update needed to fix this because my client is going nuts

Hello,

There is no patch or fix for it. That should not happen. If you haven’t modified anything than I think that should be server side issue. We recommend you to first contact your hosting service provider and ask them if anything updated on server side (like MySQL database, PHP version or Apache server) or not.

Also you can send us your site URL with admin login details and our team will check and try to recover your slider. Please create a new ticket on our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and send us your site URL with admin login details so we can check it directly on your site.

i am interested in purchasing your theme. please let me know 1. Can i customize the right side bar in each of my pages to display different content 2. will it support display indian language called telugu. 3. can i embed audio, video files in the pages

thanks david

Hello,

Glad to hear you are interested in our theme. Here are our comments on your each points:

1. Can i customize the right side bar in each of my pages to display different content
—We are providing unlimited sidebar so you can achive this easily. Just create individual sidebars for each pages and add different widgets in it.



2. will it support display indian language called telugu.
—Technically, our theme will support language that supported by WordPress itself. We checked and found that WordPress is supporting Telugu language. But the translation is still pending for Telugu language. There is only 28% translation is done and rest is pending in WordPress itself. This will effect in admin section. Here you will find more information:
https://translations.launchpad.net/wordpress/3.0/+pots/wordpress/te/+translate
For our theme, the Howes theme is translation ready. But you need to do it yourself and need to translate each text yourself by using POEdit (or any other) software.



3. can i embed audio, video files in the pages
—Yes you can embed it. We are using Visual Composer which contains very easy way to embed YouTube, Vimeo videos. Also you can embed SoundCloud audio too.

Thanks,
Bob

Please let me know before I purchase. Cheers

Hello,

Yes sure. Here is the code: body.page-id-263 .home-link{ background: url(http://apicona.thememount.com/wp-content/uploads/revslider/homepage_slider/24-7-icon.png) no-repeat 0 0; /* Logo image */ width: 100px; /* Width of the logo image */ height: 100px; /* Height of the logo image */ } body.page-id-263 .home-link img.kwayy-logo-img{ display: none; /* Hide global logo */ }



We tested this code on our server and it’s working perfectly.

Hello guy

How to change the word “All” for the Portfolio Category ??

Thank

Hello,

If you are asking for language translation than you can write translated word in PO file directly.

If you just want to change it to some other words than there is no direct way to do it. We added the word directly in our file. So there are some extra technical way to change it. The way is to create a child theme and override the default function.

Also we will discuss with our team for the option possibility and will add functionality in our theme.

Thanks, Bob

I have emailed and made support tickets. I really need help as soon as possible. Most importantly now is the product page suddenly breaking although I have made no changes. I also deactivated plugins to make sure and still no fix. PLEASE respond

Hello,

We solved it. We checked and found that you added broken code in header.php file. Here are details:

You added this code in header.php file:

<link rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/+Oscarwildetoursgaytravel/posts />


You missed a one ” (double-quote symbol). This code is in HEAD area so it’s effecting BODY tag as body tag’s double-quote symbol is used to close the html code. It should be like this:

<link rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/+Oscarwildetoursgaytravel/posts" />


Also we strongly recommend you to don’t edit any file inside our theme folder and use external plugin or theme feature to get this work. This file will be overwritten during theme update.

Thanks, Bob

Hey man I cannot thank you guys enough for figuring that out. I totally overlooked that. I really appreciate your help. It is a wonderful theme

Hello,

Glad to hear it. Also we recommend you to write code inside “Theme Options > Custom Code” box directly.


We are providing section to include code in <HEAD> and <BODY> tags. Just go to Admin > Appearance > Theme Options > Custom Code section and write your code (which you added in header.php and was giving error) in the Custom Code for <head> tag section. See this screenshot for more details:


Please note that if you don’t see options as in the screenshot than you need to update the theme to latest version. Click here to know more about the update process

NOTE: The update process will overwrite all theme files. And you modified some files. So we strongly recommend you to take backup first. Also we recommend you to take full backup (full database and all files) so you you should have full backup if anything goes wrong during update.

Thanks, Bob

I love the theme and all is working very well, except for one thing. When I am testing out the theme on my mobile device, scrolling the page sometimes get interpreted as an intention to click a link and it loads a new page. This does not happen with all other sites I use on my phone, so I’m wondering if there is something about this theme that is making it behave in this way. Thanks for your help!

Ah, to update, it appears to be an issue only when I have page transitions turned on. Its a shame though, because I really like the page transitions, but it makes the site somewhat unusable when it is turned on. Just as an FYI, I tested this on a Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 in both the stock browsers on each as well as Google Chrome on each. Can this be fixed?

Hello,

This should not happen. We need to check your site on our mobile device. So we request you to create a new ticket on our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and send us your site URL with admin login details so we can check on your site directly.

Hi, I`m very interested on your theme. One question first: For how many years will you update this theme? And I´m wondering there are lots of updates during one month? Thanks and regards!

Hello,

There is no straight answer for how many years. Basically we will make our theme depreciate when it’s expired or removed from ThemeForest. There is no fixed years for expiration. Also we will try to make our all theme active and make it work for all clients after it’s been deprecated too.

For the updates, there are so many reasons for updates. Our theme is based on Visual Composer plugin so we need to update our theme if Visual Composer is updated. There are bug fix release too. Also we are adding new features too so it’s also need an update. So there are so many reasons for update. We are trying to make the theme as perfect as possible.

Thanks, Bob

how can i change the background color of the drop down menu?

Hello,

You can change the background color of the drop down menu via Theme Options. Just go to Admin > Appearance > Theme Options > Menu Settings section and change the color in the “Dropdown Menu Background Properties” option.

Thanks, Bob

There is an issue with Titlebar background color settings conflicting with Visual Composer 4.6. I manually updated the Visual Composer to the latest version because Howes 9.0 currently uses 4.5.3, however, there are much needed improvements in 4.6. When I use the latest version of Visual Composer 4.6 and edit the titlebar background settings under theme options and save, the titlbar background shows a white background with about 70% opacity regardless of what color I choose. I was able to recreate the issue several times and noticed that it only happens when I use the latest version of visual composer instead of your integrated version and after I update the titlebar settings under theme options and save. This is a problem because it forces me to override the titlebar settings, font and background options with css instead.

Any help in solving this would be great!

Hello,

Thanks for providing all the details. We found some other problems too. That’s why we have’t updated the Visual Composer plugin in our theme and we are not providing v4.6 with our plugin.

So we recommend you to use Visual Composer v4.5.3 for now. Although there is a small change that will solve the current issue. For this, please contact us via our official support system at http://support.thememount.com/ and send us all the details so we will provide you a change that will solve current problem.

We are working on making the v4.6 compatible with our theme and it will be available in next 15 to 20 days as the VC v4.6 has some major changes too.

Thanks, Bob

Please provide solution for now. I a submitted ticket via support link. Thank you!

Yes sure :)
