Hi there, i am really interested in buying this theme, however i need to know if you are planning on optimizing it. You are saying how the theme uses best code practices etc, yet there are 15!! scripts loaded on a basic page (http://demo.select-themes.com/capri1/services/) just from your theme (i am not even counting woocommerce or plugin scripts, which should be selectively loaded as well). Surely you don’t need all 15 to be loaded just to display a basic grid layout (i can see that’s handled by VC anyway)... so yea.. theme looks nice but it would be nice if it was also built properly. Also do you support hooks to make child theme usage easier?

Hi,

Thanks for noticing this, we will pass this to our dev team for further analysis.

When it comes to child theme, you can use your own hooks, you will have one blank child theme which is ready to be used at your disposal.

Hello! First of all, congratulations for a great theme! I really love it and have almost decided to buy it. There is a couple of things though that I need to make sure before i proceed.

1- On the left hand side corner of the menu bar, can I upload my logo there or can it only be text? Because of the way you designed the theme, all the logos (ex: banana, guava, kiwi, etc) look like plain text and I just want to make sure that I’ll be able to replace it with a logo (tiff, jpg, etc).

2- If I don’t find the font that I want, can I upload one that I bought on the internet and use it?

3- If I understood correctly, this theme is multilingual and I’ll be able to have a website in many languages, is that right?

Sorry for all the questions. I just want to be totally sure about everything so I don’t have any bad surprises later. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for interesting in our theme. :)

1) What you see on our demo site is actually an image. So, answer is positive, you can use your own instead.

2) Yes you can.

3) To be more precise, site that runs our theme can be multilingual. Our theme is compatible with WPML multilingual plugin.

Hopefully you’ll find our answers useful.

Thank you for your help! One last question that I forgot to ask! When I buy this theme, can I use it tu build as many websites as I want, or just once? Sorry if that is something I should know…I am not really familiar with this business… Thanks for you help! :)

One purchase per domain is Theme Forest rule, you can read more on licensing here: http://themeforest.net/licenses/standard

Hi, I have received an e-mail telling me to update the WP Visual Composer as there is a security issue, but I was told I had to contact the theme providers directly to provide an update link. All the other avenues are telling me I have to pay additional money, which isn’t fair since it isn’t the theme buyers’ fault.

Is there any way you can help with this please? Thanks

Hi,

Just upgrade your theme to latest version and you will gain latest plugins installations as well. Then, deactivate and delete them (Layer Slider and Visual Composer), and follow onscreen instructions from warning message in your top section of admin panel saying you’re missing required plugins.

Hi,

Firstly great theme! One of the best I have used!

I am just stuck on one element. I am trying to create a page like your demo http://demo.select-themes.com/capri1/gallery-one/ I have imported the demo data and when I click to edoit page using visual composer the element “Portfolio List” is present and all the settings are set up, however on my website nothing is showing.

I have found the portfolio items and I can edit those easily but I am stuck on how to have images like these in the demo display and link to the correct portfolio item.

I am sure it is something simple but I am completely stuck!

Many Thanks

Actually I think I have worked it out now! :)

Hi there!

I bought this theme (btw, congrats for the great design!) and I’m finding a few problems configuring the portfolio page…

Could you help me understand why the elements are not aligned (example: http://namouchesite.theonepixel.com/portfolio_page/bem-vindo-ao-mundo-zachary/)?

Thanks.

Kind regards, Tânia

Hi,

Unfortunately both the links you set above lead to pages that are not found (404 pages): http://screencast.com/t/WTeUhPhDBqY

Regarding using a masonry gallery, you can use a masonry gallery for your portfolio list by setting the portfolio list template field to “masonry”, but unfortunately there is no option to use a masonry gallery for portfolio single items.

Regarding your second question, we unfortunately can’t access the screenshot you sent.

Hi there,

I’ve managed to solve that problem.

Thanks

Hi,

Great, we’re glad you solved the issue. :)

Hey guys! First of all, cherers on a great theme, I am really pleased with it! I have a quick question to make: We are developing a site for a client on your theme and the demo we chose to make the design was Clementine. Our client has six main services and in the Clementine homepage you have three interactive banners. I imported the demo data to build the site over it. In our design we use those three initial Interactive Banners and add another three for the rest of the services. In the demo you have a clean, clear picture that shows a hover effect as well as it shows the title. I have tryed over and over to get the same (even importing and working on the demo data), gone through the docs page and testing different set up’s in the Select Options – Elements – Interactive banners options. could you tell me how to set the setting to get exactly the same interactive banners that you have in Clementine’s homepages demo site? (clean and clear picture with no hover, shade grey with title on hover)

This is the homepage site: http://granada.com.ar/

You’ll find them beneath the Select Slider. I am pretty lost on this one.

Another quick question. In one of our pages (http://granada.com.ar/chopera/) I am using a Qode Carousel to show a few beer brands logo’s that our client work with. We have only 4 logos and I can’t get to show 4 o 3 logos, it always shows 5 no matter what I cahnge on the configuration. The same as the banners, I am pretty lost in this one too.

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hey, guys! I open you link but it leads me nowhere! (http://seletc.ticksy.com/) Cheers!

Figured it out, I’ll contact you via ticket.

Sorry for the typo.

Hello Select,

Great job with the theme, I love all the layouts and options! I’m ready to make a purchase but first I have a couple of questions:

1) Portfolio item page – when on a selected portfolio item page, under custom field, is it possible to have “Category” text (i.e. “Photography”) as active links? I need them to list all the works from selected category on a new page. 2) Same question, but regarding to “Client” tag – can we add a “Client” tag to single project, and then have the option to list all the works by selected client?

Thanks, Best!

Hi,

Thanks for interesting in our theme. :)

1) Unfortunately this option isn’t available with our theme.

2) There are tags within portfolio single item at your disposal.

Select

Sorry for taking your time but I need to make sure,

So #1) is not possible at all, or it could be done with custom code?

Regarding #2), the mechanism we need should be the same as under 1) – let’s say we’re on this page ( http://demo.select-themes.com/capri2/portfolio_page/pale-skin-apparel/ ) Under right sidebar, beneath “Category: Fashion” (and you say this “Fashion” can’t be a hyperlink) we have “Client: XYZ” -> are you saying that this “XYZ” part could be a hyperlink which lists all the works by this client? This is what I meant to ask.

Thanks for your response!

1) Naturally it’s possible with custom code. Direct link to category will be http://yoursite.com/portfolio-category/category-name

2) It also can’t be linked on portfolio single page, and custom coding is needed in order to do so. Direct link to tag will be http://youriste.com/portfolio-tag/tag-name

Hi,

I’m trying to change the dark menu style from black to dark grey, but it changes every color (hover, active…) but no standar color. ¿What happens?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Since this is closely related to your theme setup we advise you to submit a ticket to our support team at http://select.ticksy.com and inluce link to your site with temporary WP admin credentials.

Hello, is it possible to add “Ken Burns” effect to background sliding images? (or something similar)

Hi,

Unfortunately, answer is negative.

Select

Just installed the theme :) I’ve to buy also “LayerSlider WP” to make it work?

Thank you, Matteo.

Regarding Layer Slider, note that we’ve bought extended license which granted us right to distribute this plugin as a bundle. Due to TF regulations we can’t share license key with our customers. However, we have obligation to our customers to include latest plugin version in current theme version and to provide support for it.

Still considering purchasing this theme, but hesitant since it only ranks 41/100 in Google’s Page Speed Insights analyzer for desktop display (using link: http://demo.select-themes.com/capri/#demos). Any reason why it scores so low and how to possibly improve it when actually using it on a real live site?

Hi,

Note that we choose to use large images with max quality. Those images aren’t optimized for web, since we wanted to gain better visual experience.

But, user can compress images and videos to some optimal quality which won’t have too much weight and install caching plugin. Those two, combined with faster sever (reducing response time) is basic optimization for all WP based sites, no matter what theme is activated.

Hello, can I make transparent the Language Selector background (on header top right widget) on the web and with background for mobile devices? If I put it transparent, it is not seen on mobile…

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Maybe it is possible with custom CSS, submit a ticket to our support at http://select.ticksy.com and our agents will see what they can do.

Hey there,

Can you point me in the right direction of how to edit the social media links in the header menu please? Thanks!

Hi,

Those icons are applied as shortcode pasted in text widget which is assigned to dedicated header widget area. So, navigate to Admin panel > Appearance > Widgets, locate header widget area of your choice and edit text widget in it, shortcode consist of codes but hopefully you will be able to see url which needs to be changed.

Select

Ah yes found it now – thanks!!

You’re welcome.

Quick question: When I change the background image or the background-color behind a price in a price table, it doesn’t appear on the front. In theme settings the background is transparant and in my childtheme css are no lines affecting the background of the prices, but it still remains yellow. Hope you can help me! Great theme btw! No problems at all, except for this one :)

Hi,

Hi,

I have purchased this theme, and I’m having trouble installing the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin.

I’m getting this message: Destination folder already exists Plugin install failed.

Hi,

I want to buy your theme, and I have one question. I like demo “peach” with two parts of the screen. We can see a picture on one part of the screen and some text on another. But could I use text on the both parts?

A couple pre purchase questions ….

1. Can I turn the frame on just for the homepage but off for the rest?

2. How does your theme rate in speed? With all the features I fear it will get bogged down?

I might have more but that’s all for now.

Hi,

Thanks for interesting in our theme. :)

1) If you’re referring to passepartout option, it is global one and can’t be controlled on individual pages. Depending on your homepage content and setup there is a possibility of adding it via CSS.

2) Here is a link to our demo sites and you can check speed for yourself: http://demo.select-themes.com/capri/#demos

Is it possible to have blog posts in the grid on the start page in

http://demo.select-themes.com/capri3/ ?

Well, this one isn’t available out of the box (meaning – just include shortcode with two clicks in backend and mixed content is generated automatically), it can be built with Masonry gallery: http://demo.select-themes.com/capri-new-help/#!/masonry_gallery

Thank you! I will give it a try.

You’re welcome.

Hi, Is there a way for me to log in and see my active ticket if it’s private? I didn’t see how to get there in the support system to check in if there was any progress on the font skinning with USE ANY FONT plugin (google fonts are simply not professional enough for my level of clients in NYC) and the edit on size and spacing theirin.

Please advise.

If not, maybe another ticketing system could be better?

:)

Otherwise client LOVES the theme ( and so do I – so clean coded. )

Thanks for following up on this, it’s assigned to one of our agents, you can expect answer within 24 hours.

I’ve purchased this theme, but .po .mo translation is not working

Usual response time is within 24 hours.

thanks for your good support,

I’ve figured out

not a theme issue I’ve misunderstood

Glad to hear it’s solved. :)
