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!

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..

  1. Please read the corresponding part of the documentation: Set Up Includes
  2. Add this to the bottom of your styles.css file:
    .slide h1, .slide h2 { background: transparent; }
Cheers, Erik

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! :D

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

Hi and thanks for your purchase! Here’s how to add it:
  1. Open your footer.php file, from your theme folder
  2. After line 31 (before the closing /ul tag), add this:
    <a href="http://www.instagram.com/user"><i class="fa fa-instagram" /></a>
  3. Change the sample instagram link url to yours
Cheers, Erik

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

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

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.

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)

Your welcome :) I’m really happy to hear that, keep up good work! Cheers, Erik

Readyyyyy, my ploblems are fixeds thank to u.

Great than ;) 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.

Add this to the very bottom of your style.css file:

.offers .price-table { margin: 0 0 100px 250px !important; }

Cheers, Erik

:O, 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.

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!

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
