Hi, I try to switch theme to Mentas. but the polylang plugin doesn’t work on your theme I added the language switcher in to menu, there is nothing display. please help.

Hi pixelz84 and thank you for migrating to Mentas.

Mentas is fully compatiable most advanced multilanguage plugin – WPML

I’d recommend to use it.

But if you still want use another multi-language plugin, you seems should adapt something for it.

Hi, I just updated the link on a youtube video in a gallery post. The post has worked fine but now the media gallery on my main page won’t load the new video link, instead it keeps referring to the old link of a non existent video. Are you able to help?

Am installing a theme in a local server, and when i try to import demo data i get this error Preparing to import… Some error occured!

you got an email. Thank you

Have you seen an email ? it includes networklance in it

thank you for your email, I’ve just replied

Hello, Nice work! but can I customize TOP SLIDER to what I like if I choose the onepage version?

Hi Proust_liu, and thank you for purchasing Mentas theme!

That version is just for those who want very simple slider. Instead of usage that, you can place layer slider shortcode. As you know Layer slider give you a lot of options for customization

Hello, thank you, I see it. And another question, I found some conflicts in shortcodes ultimate and twitter bootstrap, when I deactivate twitter I got a lot function in shortcodes, as setting in button icon and preview. but does not work if I active twitter again. is it normal? I just want to add a button on services section to link the services pages…. Regards!

Hi Proust_liu, twitter bootstrap is a part of the theme, you shouldn’t diactivate that.

Hi there, I just started working with this theme, and am running into an issue.

I am using the top menu with a gallery as my home page, without the sidebar menu. I have a logo with larger dimensions (800 px wide).

I upload a logo, and can control its size perfectly with the theme settings on the desktop version. However, when I look at the site on mobile, the logo container stretches all the way across the top menu, and runs behind the menu dropdown button, so that the menu dropdown button is on top of the logo. Furthermore, if I click the top menu dropdown, it cuts off the end of the logo, and I can see the white container box that should contain the logo, which is odd because my logo is a PNG with a transparent background.

If I make the logo very small (200px wide), it doesn’t get cut off in the mobile version anymore, but is now too small for the desktop version, even if I increase the top menu logo column size.

So I suppose the question is really how do I maintain a larger logo for the desktop version, and make it so that it doesn’t get overlaid with the top menu dropdown in the mobile version? The mobile version should just adjust the width no matter what size the logo is, no?

And as an ancillary question, what’s the ideal dimensions for a logo?

Thanks. Otherwise this is a spectacular theme; I really love how simple it is to set up.

Cheers, Craig

Hi Craig, and thank you for clear explanation of the issue.

There is not concrete standard for logo size. We made as much adaptable as possible taking in account that logos might be long short we added feature to change logo’s place column, which you can find in theme settings.

Your case is infrequent (using extra large logo for desktop), so seems need to add custom css in theme settings.

@media screen and (max-width: 760px) {
.tm-logo{max-width:200px}
}

This piece of code will force logo to be less 200px in width, if the screen wide is less than 760px.

You can change 200 and 760 values per your needs if you need something more or less.

Hopefully this answer will help you.

Have a good weekend :)

That worked perfectly – thanks so much for the fast response!

hello mentas team, i got a few problems to solve and hope you are able to help me. i want to realize a onepager and got a few questions:

1. is it possible to put a border arround the whole page? i think it would be more elegant for me – the fullscreen-slider looks a bit too impressive!

2.am i able to put the menü above the slider (at first place) instead of below? and the logo is also real small (doesn`t change anything if i`m changing different “top menu logo column size”)

3. i do not find any discription for realizing the gallery like in your excamples. by “clicking” on one of the pictures, there should “expand” this nice space with description on the right and bigger foto instead of opening a new page with a menu on the left. i want to have all stuff on really one-page, one level.

sorry for the bad english – i`m not used to it and greetz!

Hello thermanoT! Here the answers for your questions.. 1)You can add border using custom css only. 2)Here the tutorial http://screencast.com/t/VwV6y4Lej – please update page after done. 3)http://screencast.com/t/G9GmVCLd3U – please update page after done.

thanx for the fast answer :-) i`ll try! about coding the boarder: is it much to write in custom css or just a small code-snippet? maybe you are able to help?

You are welcome. Here the code for custom css. If you want to use another background color just change ’ background-color:’ value.
body{
    margin: 30px;
    background-color: #ffffff;
}

2 Questions 1) On my installation the layerslider home page does not load properly. It is breaking the page, what is that from? It does not look like the demo.

2) Is this theme capable of putting the layerslider above the menu?

1. We need to see the issue in order to help, please email us your website url, and admin panel access details.

2. Yes, it does. Currently only in onepage version. So you have to choose “OnePage” template, once you selected there will appear “onepage settings” box, where you put your layerslider shortcode.

@azelab, will do. What is your email address?

How to a create/change to the “stunning” home page variations?

As you see each page has option to override main theme settings. To build a page you should use ultimate addons shorcode, that button just above content box. Most of our user user demo content import in order to get exact copy of our demo site, and then edit exist pages content and settings to their needs. This is quick way, also you can import demo content on your another fresh copy of WP, and take necessary pages content from copy page.

As for logo, you can manage it’s size from Appearance/Theme Settings/Home, Where logo size you should increase value. Please look at this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/hJFzmgvNXfQ

I change the column size and it does not change. dacaro.com

If you uncheck “Show tagline below logo:” option which is in theme settings, just under logo upload field, you would give more space for logo.

Hello Azelab,

I’m having trouble with gallery images showing up in their “filtered” menu. I have a top “menu” with categories such as automotive, nature, people, etc. I add images to the gallery with a filter set to one of those, but they do not appear after clicking on the menu where they are filtered. Is there a simple fix to this?

For example, when clicking on the “Film” tab, there should be 3 images that appear. But they are not showing up for some reason.

I’ve checked.

Yes it is what I supposed you meant in my last paragraph.

“when 1st time you open page, it displays existing pictures under All tab, in quantity you set , per example 20 and when you switch to another tab, it displays only images from those 20, related to changed filter tab when you click load more, it load more images from the same filter”

If you scroll page, till the end, and all pictures loaded, change to Film tab and you will see those 3 images.

If you want all images loaded, you can simply increase limit. In that case all image will appear at once, without need to scroll. For this you need to add items_per_page=”100” parametr to mentas shortcode.

See screenshot http://screencast.com/t/qmOZfvf3ag

P.S By the way nice website, colors scheme and images

You have big gallery, If I were you I would do in the following way:

1. Re assign gallery posts by filters and categories

2. Create new pages for categories and insert there mentas gallery shortcode with appropriate category paraments. Per example new page name is Film, and category parametrs inside shortcode is film too.. This is generated by shortcode ultimate, if you would use that to insert shortcode.

3. In your menu where Gallery, create submenus which link to pages (those you created in step2)

In this way you will sort your album by categories, and inside each category filters will serve you as subcategories.

How to make only 2 persons in creative mind block?

Hi and thank you for purchasing Mentas theme!

To have 2 persons to fill the row, you should add this code into custom css box which is under theme settings/skins

.row-cm .col-cm { width: 50%; }

Hello,

How can I change the color of the menu?

Thank You!

Hi vince47,

Under theme settings/skins there is option of colors you can change.

Per example for menu bar color you can change from there. But since menu color is the same as background color, it is changed with Primary background color.

If you don’t want menubar background color to be same as background of page, then you need to add menubar classes in custom css box.

#menu-bar{background: #ffffff;}

Hi,

I chose default skin.

Where is in default skin the option of colors that I can change?

Thank you! Vincenzo

under default skins there are fields where you can change color values – primary color, secondary color etc

the images of the gallery on the home are a little cut . I put captions on pictures , but they are a little cut . How can I do?

homepage is here: http://109.199.123.247/~tommaso4

Thank you! Vincenzo

Hi Vince47, and thank you for purchasing Mentas theme!

The reason why some images in your gallery is not fully seen like this one http://109.199.123.247/~tommaso4/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Luminara-pisa-san-ranieri-700x394.png because their proportion is differ.

You should upload featured images in the same proportion, and also give appropriate settings values in theme settings/gallery, there is option to set fixed ratio or original ratio like in screen http://screencast.com/t/IXP5trDb3jU

Thank you!!!

You are most welcome!

Hello,

You must update your theme to version 1.0.7. See documentation please
