Hi Are there any plans to have the same homepage themes like the foundry wordpress version such as optician, construction, video background?

Also the wordpress version has more page elements such as owl carousel? Is there a way of integrating these into the HTML version

Hello,

Sorry but no, we do not have plans to synchronise development of the HTML and WordPress versions, as they are now maintained by two separate teams and priorities for each platform differ slightly. This is not to say that the WordPress version will not continue to receive future improvements that appear in the HTML version.

How do I make my navigation bar either static or not get so big while scrolling? Here is a GIF example: https://gyazo.com/6d7001dda435f3cf6d3a6c72ee6ccdec

Hey there,

You can remove the classes ‘fixed and absolute’ from the bar to make it static. But the Logo shouldn’t remain at the top when it becomes fixed – would you mind sharing me a link to your site. You can open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com if you like.

Thanks, Craig

Hi. How to fix nav bar? (not hide when scrolling pass head bg image) and how change font size nav bar

Thanks. :)

Hey there,

Thanks for purchasing!

If you open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com I can give you a code snippet to achieve this.

Thanks, Craig

Thanks, I opened ticket in mediumrare.ticksy.com.

No worries – replied on Ticksy :)

I hate to be a pest, but I’m still waiting on a response about the color treatment block that doesn’t work on Chrome Browsers on PCs running windows. Also, the HTML 5 video slider is pretty much useless as a mixed video and image slider and still no word on that. Please don’t assume people are using Mac computers. Tests should be done on both platforms and cross browsers. I love this template and think it’s pretty awesome that’s why I’m being hard on you…. :)

Hi there Rudy,

1. I’ve also checked this on Chrome Windows and see no issue with the colour treatment. It appears congruent with the Mac version and was tested with Windows when it was created also.

2. I also don’t see the issue with this. By default the slider appears with 1 video, then image, then video, then image so you can make whatever arrangement you need by cloning and deleting slides.

I will go to my University’s computer lab and test these things you are saying is working fine. It certainly isn’t working on any of my computers at home. If anyone else has the same problem please let me know. This is really starting to annoy me.

We’re happy to provide screenshots of what we’re seeing and would encourage you to do the same – as this could be a problem in need of resolving. To upload screenshots, please put them in your ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com.

Modals are not working in the latest update :(. I just tried Text & Video and the modal doesn’t display when clicked on the Play button. Please help ASAP. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this.

Are you referring to the modal in Variant only? Would you mind please opening a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com and providing some more detail?

Regards, James

I ordered foundry few months ago and received an informative e-mail saying there is an update available, but the product is not in my downloads page on Envato and i don’t know how to proceed. Anyone can help me?

Hi there,

Did you purchase on another account? You’re not appearing as a purchaser of Foundry on this account.

No, it was in that same account. This was the purchase code: 46052820-dfff-4056-9a46-da7fba12b8d7

Hey there, You may need to contact Envato about this as there may be an issue with your account (usually you would appear with the ‘purchased’ badge)

First off beautiful theme. My very first theme using wordpress. I came from Joomla and this theme has helped me learn wordpress :P. So im having an issue with the parallex effect on my page (http://3mendomusic.fatcow.com/wordpress/) the weird thing i see the parallex effect work on your demo page on chrome but not on my site so im thining i have a setting wrong or something? Also the images that are suppose to show up dont and neither does my instagram feed :/

Hey there,

No problems you can request a refund from Envato and they will refund the purchase of the HTML version back to your account. Unfortunately we can’t initiate this process from our end so you will need to open a ticket with them.

Cheers, Craig

Hey craig. Thank you so much. Just started a ticket. I appreciate it. Beautiful theme!

Hello,

The new style of nav makes a strange effect when it becomes small.

Hello,

Yes it is that navigation style (home-fashion). I am testing on a mac book pro, desktop version, and the nav makes a strange effect on scrolling.

Hey there,

Add this to custom.css:

nav.fixed .custom-logo{ display: none; }

Cheers, Craig

Is it possible to increase the header size in order to add a bigger logo?

Hi there,

Yes, there are instructions on how to do this in the documentation http://foundry.mediumra.re/docs/foundry_docs/index.html in the FAW section for navigation :)

Craig

Congratulations guys, over the 2000th sales… Best of luck! :)

Cheers Gabor :D Thanks as always for your support!!

Is there a way you can add a dropdown <select> menu to the mailchimp signup – so when an option is selected, it will sign up the user for that specific list? (select A, B, or C to get signed up for one of these) And the SEND button will send the information to that particular MC list – does that make sense?

I can’t find a MailChimp native option to allow this (Campaign Monitor has something similar – mentioned below) but with some tweaking/hacking – that is possible. But it would be a “one form at a time” solution.

Here’s the catch – each form is tied to a particular list and each has unique signup variables tied to each form input element – on top of that, MailChimp has a hidden anti-spam field that carries a unique ID for each list/form. This means that in order to allow users to submit to a different list, you’re going to need to embed one whole form for each list.

One form would be visible by default, and the rest would be hidden so as not to interfere with the page. Then, you would need a dropdown list and can tie some javascript to that, so that when the user selects a different list from the dropdown, the selected form is shown, and the others get hidden. As the user types in the boxes, you can use javascript to transfer the values they type into the hidden form fields – so all forms are kept in sync. This means that if they change their mind and switch forms, their name and email etc. are still populated when the forms hide and unhide.

Naturally they are only going to click submit on the form they can see (the form they chose on the dropdown list), and the hidden forms don’t get submitted.

Campaign Monitor has an option to add checkboxes at the bottom of the form that gives the user the option to check which other of your lists they also wantt to opt into. I couldn’t find a MailChimp option like that.

This solution does sound finnicky, but I can see it working really well for what you need. I just can’t think of any simpler way to do it…

UPDATE – MailChimp & Campaign Monitor signups now submit via ajax UPDATE – Consolidated embedded video modals (see documentation)

Thanks for this!

No worries :)

Imagine how excited I got when I saw this:

http://flatfull.com/themes/flatkit/

An Admin template that uses Variant :-)

But no, it doesn’t use Variant :-(

Haha, I’m not entirely sure what they mean by variant there – I think it might just be a colour switcher? Anyway it’s good to know the word Variant has become synonymous with our page builder for some people! :D

Any chance that there will be an update with sass or less files instead of plain css? It would make modifying the theme much easier

Nevermind, I should have looked a bit further before I left a comment. I found the LESS source files.

No worries :) Thanks for purchasing!

Hi Craig, very nice template again! You are getting there and it is nice to see the number of sales you make now.

I have a question I cannot find in the documentation or in previous comments.

The bright and shiny pictures I add in the photo sliders appear fuzzy, darker, noisy than the original ones. How can I prevent this? Like to present the pictures as-is (as the originals).

Please help.

Peter

Ah you might be referring to the overlay that is applied so that white text becomes more legible on the image. You can remove this, if you’d like to give me a link to your site (or open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com) I can give you the relevant CSS.

Thanks, Craig

Yes, that is what I mean. Will open a ticket! Thanks.

No worries :)

Hello medium_rare, how does Foundry creates this smooth scrolling parallax effect? It´s very interesting!

Hey there,

Thanks for noticing! That’s an in-house developed scrolling script we spent many weeks honing and optimising to work across all browsers and mouse-types.

Cheers, Craig

Hello. I am wondering what font you are using for the ‘F’ on the winery demo page, plus the font you are using on the ‘Go boldly…’ on the Adventure demo. Cheers in advance.

P.S. I bought the WP version ;0)

Hey there,

The font from the ‘Go Boldly’ page is called Goodfoot and it’s available free here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Good-Foot

And the ‘F’ font from the Winery demo … I actually can’t remember which font it was! I know it was from the Envato Indie Font bundle that was available a little while back.

Thanks very much Mr Rare ;-)

No worries :D

Hey folks,

We’ve got an update coming your way in the next couple of days with some great improvements and additions including AJAX mailchimp & campaign monitor signup forms, new navigation type, new home layout and more!

“background-multiply” doesn’t work with Google which means color treatment doesn’t show image, any workaround?

Looking at it now and it’s working fine http://foundry.mediumra.re/home-capital-firm.html we are talking about this effect, yes?

Yes, but it’s not showing up on chrome. I’m using both Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.

I’ll have to take a look on windows – I’m viewing on Chrome from a mac

hello, Nice Work, I would like to ask you regarding RTL direction like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian languages what is the best way to add it ?

Hey there,

You can add RTL by adding a rule to your custom.css:

h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,span,ul,ol{ direction: rtl; }
