Hey there,

Thank you for fixing the Newsticker—it definitely seems to be working in terms of cutting the long titles off. However, I’m now noticing the following error on the end of the Newsticker titles:

“{” or “?”

The are constant – the numbers change for different posts.

Any idea how this could be fixed? Thank you—again!

’...’ should be displayed at the end of the short title. Please, provide you website url, so I could test this in your environment. You may send it by email ask(@)themeous.com

Most probably you server doesn’t support mb_substr function. Please, try to open loop-newsticker.php file and replace

mb_substr

with

substr
Please, see the screenshot http://take.ms/FAd8q

how can i activate the optional lightbox of the new version and add short title in the newsticker ?

and how can i change how big the picture is in the slider. Because i what the have it like its in the demo

Hi! The title will be shorten automatically after 55 characters for Newsticker. In order to activate Lightbox, please go to Appearance > Customize > Posts section and check “Enable Lighbox for post images?” option. Please see the screenshot http://take.ms/JBqOw

And how can I change how big the picture in the slider is. Because I what to have it like in the demo

Hey,

1. Some of our stories have long titles—which is causing the “Newsticker” to overrun on to 2 lines. Is there a way to limit the number of letters shown?

2. Is there a way of changing the number of words shown in an excerpt show below a post on the home page? I know it’s possible to add in a custom excerpt, but is there a way to automatically change this as a standard for all posts?

The theme with short NewsTicker titles and fixed video widget is available for download here http://themeforest.net/downloads I will work on the Ajax loading feature, probably it will be released within the next week.

You’re awesome. I’ve downloaded many themes from ThemeForest and you are by far the most responsive developer I’ve had the pleasure of “working with”. Please message me directly if you can, I’d like to offer some custom paid work for future projects.

Thank you very much! My email is ask(@)themeous.com, however I’m not available for a freelance work currently.

Hey guys – great theme!

Do you have a testing site that you offer potential customers a demo login? I’d love to see the them options from within the Dashboard if possible?

Also, I’m assuming adding our own logo is easy, and retina ready etc?

Hi! Thank you for your interest in my theme.

Yes, adding logo is easy, you may set the logo width for Retina displays.

An access to the admin dashboard is not provided, however you may see some theme options screenshots when you click on the Screenshots button on the theme description page and navigate through the Screenshots gallery http://take.ms/i0ROQ

I often get a block of empty white space in my slider, depending on how many I post. All my images are 800×800 or larger. Is there an ideal number of posts that’s required for the slider to fill nicely?

Thank you! I’ll test this and try to fix.

Hi! I’ve tested this. The issue appears, when there are 11 posts only, so one square image is missing to fill the grid. When you add 12th post to a slider the issue disappears.

ok, thank you for testing!

Hi Guys, I used two Text blocks in Footer 3 Columns 1st and two Ad: Image/Banner AD in Footer 3 Columns 2nd. As you can see here http://take.ms/P5PEE the distance from the blocks is huge: is it possible to reduce it?

Hi!

Please, try to add this styles at the end of style.css file

@media only screen and (min-width: 64.063em) {
.footer-column .widget {
    padding: 1em 2.618em 1em 0 !important;
}
}

I’ll fix this in the next theme update.

ok, I’ll try it. Thanks

Is the a changelog where I can read the changes that are in the updates

these guys are AWESOME .. i need some assistance and they quick responded and help me with the problem … they are the BEST

and i took your extended support!!!!!!!!

i can’t get any photos to upload? WTF! i feel like I’ve been robbed

There could be a lot of reasons for this error. Please, provide me with a temporary access to the admin dashboard so I could test it in your environment. You may send me a private message via my profile page http://themeforest.net/user/themeous

Sent you a message by email.

hi, how to bold main menu.

Hi! Please, add this code in your custom styles

@media only screen and (min-width: 64.063em) {
ul.main-menu li {
font-weight: bold;
}
}

thanks

Hi, is it possible to have the same rich layout also for the tablet? I mean, I would like to see on iPad the same page I see on Mac screen. Thank you in advance.

Great! :) Thank you very much!

Hi! I’m sorry, I was not able to provide a good user experience with non-responsive mode, for example drop-down menu doesn’t work properly on touch-based devices. Only first level menu is available. It is not possible to include this in the main theme release.

However, if you wish to show a particular element for tablets, please, let me know, I’ll provide some guidance.

Hi, Thanks all the same

Hi Guys, I’ve just bought you Maxi theme and I think it’s great!

I have a question for you.

How can i publish an horizontal picture just like “the girl in subway” in your demo?

And the same: how can I have an horizontal picture just like “library” in slider of your demo?

thanks

Vincenzo

Hi! Thank you for your purchase! You should check ‘Featured’ option when you edit a post, please see the screenshot http://take.ms/7kq97 If you do not see this fields, you should install Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin. You may find it in the list of recommended plugins in Appearance > Install plugins section. Just click ‘Install’ button near the plugin name.

thanks for your quickly replay!

I’m not able to make the Single Post Horizontal Footer show up. Is there a specific setting I need to have? I imported the demo and everything else seemed to work fine. I skipped the optional plugins.

Hi! Thank your for your purchase. Please, open Appearance > Widget section, in Single Post Horizontal Footer widget area expand Flexible Posts Widget, switch to ID tab and remove all numbers, then 4 recents posts from your website will be displayed Please, see the screenshot http://take.ms/d5BDf

worked, thanks!

hi. I face some problem with archive. is there any coding for the archive result like all post of a writer is on his page like /writer/xyz.

You do not need the writer field in ACF for this purpose because WordPress provides author archives already, for example this one http://maxi.themeo.us/author/tm/, tm – is the author username The only thing you need is to modify author.php file to display all posts without pagination. It is better to do with a child theme. I’ll send you a modified file within a day.

Please, download this file http://themeo.us/wp-content/102015/author.zip unzip it and replace author.php file in your theme. I’ll include this as an option in future theme release, so if you do not use a child theme currently it is ok, this will be in the main theme.

thanks

Updating Plugin Advanced Custom Fields Pro (1/1) An error occurred while updating Advanced Custom Fields Pro: Update package not available. Disabling Maintenance mode…

We are unable to update the plugin

There is a new version of Advanced Custom Fields Pro available. View version 5.3.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To enable updates, please enter your license key on the Updates page. If you don’t have a licence key, please see details & pricing

I made some custom css changes, i hope the new update won,t affect it?

You will need to update the plugin only, not the theme itself.

You should delete the current plugin version and upload advanced_custom_fields_pro.zip file from maxi/vendor/plugins folder. I’ll let you know when theme package with updated plugin will be available on download on Themeforest. I’ve made the update already, but it takes a day for review.

However for future theme updates it is recommended to make all CSS changes with a help of a plugin that allows to insert custom CSS, for example this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/ If you installed Easy Foundation Shortcodes plugin, it allows to insert Custom CSS too.

The new theme version is available for download already. Please, download it to your computer, unzip and install the plugin only as described above.

how to limit the posts display on home page so that home page not too much lengthy.

Please, provide you website url. It is working on the demo website, the probable reason is non-latin characters in a file name.

Hi! Have you managed the issue? Please, let me know if you need any help.

ya I manage thank you

I really like this theme and i was about to purchase it. Then something stopped me from doing it. I didn’t notice (in the description) any mention about a drag-and-drop builder.

Is a drag-and-drop builder integrated in this theme even though it is not mentioned?

If not, can anybody tell me how it’s the “building experience” with this theme?

A request for the author as well: is it compatible with third party plugins (I was thinking about Thrive Leads)?

Thank you very much for the attention.

Hi! Thank you for your interest in my theme. Sorry, Page Builder is not included. However you may use custom templates for Flexible Posts Widget plugin to build a homepage. Thrive Leads is not tested with the theme.

Hi, Is it possible to change the language of the site to Nepali. I really like this and hope there is a method. Thank you

Hi! Thank you for your interest in my theme. You may use translation flies, provided with the theme, but you should translate all phrases manually. In addition you may use WordPress installation package for Nepali, if it exists.

Thanks a lot. Will be using this theme for my next project.:-)
