To remove outdated files notification on Aurum follow these steps:

Hi, I am trying to build a catalog website without cart, payment processes.Instead, we need visitors to be able to request a quotation for the list of products there are interested. I am trying to link the contact form with the wishlist, but it does not work well. Also can the quantities of each products be customized when visitors submit quotation requests. Thank you!

Hi there,

Thats a really custom request and I am sorry we won’t be able to help you on this.

Kind Regards,

Hi

Actually “Catalog Mode” in Theme Options > Shop Settings as shown here:

Note that Catalog mode on Aurum will remove the capability of adding to cart only. For other functionality you must install custom plugin because its not supported.

This plugin may work for you though: http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-enquiry-form/

Hello, I just installed the theme Aurum, but in the ZIP is not the demo of the slider. Can you send me this file, please? thanks

Hi mustachecreative,

When you install the Aurum Demo, the slider will be imported too, but i think that you have started using Aurum from the scratch.

Can you please send us your WP credentials on email? We will add the slider for you, just tell us which slider do you want, the one from the Minimal Demo, or the Original one.

To send us email use this link and please write us your request again, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.

P.S: Please note that we usually do not respond to emails that request support, because here is our primary support forum. We use contact form just for sending sensitive information. Also emails response time can be up to 7 business days.

Hello,

In my webshop I have set the product images in size 400×400px. I would like to display a full screen image when I click on the product image so that the image lightbox display a better picture.

How do I fix this?

See https://www.carlwiking.com/product/cardholder/ for more info.

Regards Jakob

Hi Jakob,

That is happening because your uploaded image is on that size, and there is not provided any image with larger size.

Updated Woocommerce and it said the theme has older copies of template files? This is the message: aurum/woocommerce/single-product/price.php versie 1.6.4 is verlopen. De core versie is 2.4.9. Needs to be updated?

Done, thanks.

Did you receive my email on this issue?

Hi Clautje1967,

Arlind and Art are not in office today, but they will reply your email tonight or tomorrow, hope for your understanding.

Hi there,

in regards to my website aroethelabel.com the cart dropdown window from the cart icon, the buttons “view cart” and “checkout” no longer link to my cart or checkout pages it just reloads the page it is on. i can’t see where i can edit that dropdown window in the cms?

Thats what i did, then the update failed. now it is saying the theme is broken. So what do i do now

this is the message i get when trying to update the theme

Downloading install package from the Envato API…

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Destination folder already exists. /home/lewigray/public_html/wp-content/themes/aurum/

Theme install failed.

Hi lewigray,

This is a very rare situation. Most likely your web server is configured with PHP settings that are too low to allow the theme ZIP file to upload. Specifically, PHP is configured to a maximum file upload size limit at 8 megabytes or less. The theme ZIP is about 9.5 megabytes in size. Thus, the web server is rejecting the upload. WordPress is giving you a rather ambiguous message in response. This is not a theme fault or bug.

There two ways to solve this problem.

1— You can either get your web host to increase your PHP limits.

2—You can upload your theme via an FTP client.

Recommended PHP configuration limits are as follows:

max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 32M
upload_max_filesize 32M

For more info visit this link Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

If you need more info, please don’t hesitate to write us again on this thread :)

Hi, I currently have version 2.4 Aurum installed. How do I update this theme to the new version? (October 6) thanks….

Hi eric1985,

The easiest way to update our themes is if you use Envato Toolkit. On this link How to update Themes and Plugins you can learn this easy step-by-step procedure :)

Then don’t forget to go to Appearance > Install Plugins to update all your premium plugins to the latest version that we support.

P.S: When the update it’s ready you will receive an email if you have enabled “Get notified by email if this item is updated” from your Downloads tab.

(view large version)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Thanks for the prompt response. However, if I was to manually update the files, how can I do this ? cheers

Hi eric1985,

To update Aurum manually just go to your Downloads tab on themeforest > go to our item and click Download > then go to your downloads folder and unzip our theme > open folder that you unzipped > unzip aurum.zip > open aurum folder that you unzipped and copy all of it’s content > then go to your wordpress files > wp-conent >themes > paste and replace all the files that you copy-ed earlier.

P.S: Don’t forget to copy and paste somewhere aurum folder on Wordpress before making those changes as a backup :)

Hello,

Great theme, few questions,

1. How do I change the color of the selected main menu. For example if I select the “Shop” page, the “Shop” link text will be a specific color, different from the other main menu links?

2. Can I somehow add a custom social media icon and link?

3. Is there any way to add the cart icon to the main menu links when the header option that centers the logo above the text is enabled?

Thanks, Chris

Hey,

1 – Here is the url (http://christopherirvin.com/solcubed), just to help clarify things I only want the link that’s selected a different color.

2- It’s not that I didnt like it but I needed to add an indiegogo icon and link, in the social media area.

3. Not sure where I’m supposed to add (), can you clarify?

Thanks!

1- Wrong url above here is the correct one – http://christopherirvin.com/solcubed/

Hi again,

1. Add this to the Custom CSS:

header.site-header .full-menu div.nav>ul>li.current-menu-item>a, header.site-header .full-menu ul.nav>li.current-menu-item>a {
    color: red !important;
} 

2. Unfortunately that’s not possible.

3. Go to Apperance > Menus and select the menu item to edit it, when editing it at the name field, put that code after the name and it will appear as an icon.

Kind Regards,
Art

Hey Guys, Why the theme crashes everytime on Chrome for iOS? Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Nobody has reported this kind of issue, can you provide an URL of your site so we can see what’s going on.

Kind Regards,
Art

www.steliomalori-shop.com Thanks!

Hi prolighteq,

We don’t have this issue on our theme, and it should work to you too.

If you are using our latest theme update, then please go to Appearance > Install Plugins, and update premium plugins to the latest version.

Also can you please disable all your third-party plugins (plugins that don’t come with our theme) one by one, and check if this problem is solved.

Please refresh your site a couple of times, because of the browser cache.

Kind Regards,

Hello Laborator Team,

I need some help with the Aurum Theme, Im almost finished with my website.

Im using the transparent header at frontpage and I have the header menu colour in white but I want the other pages to use header menu color as black. Please watch www.carlwiking.com if you need to know what I mean.

Regards Jakob

Hi Jakob,

You need to add this to the Custom CSS and remove the CSS that overwrites the menu color, this is the one you should use:

.transparent-header header.site-header div.nav>ul>li>a, .transparent-header header.site-header ul.nav>li>a {
color: #EEE !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Hi, nice theme. Can you please help me. I bought this theme for my client and trying to set it. However, the featured image heights on the home and blog pages are too long. How can I fix this. I went into the theme function to try to change the height or add a support for a new image size but don’t know where I can change the image in the theme. Also, on the homepage, I’m using Visual Composer Grid that come with the template to display latest posts, how an I change the color of the button? Please see the link below. Thanks

http://www.avaspromise.com/

Hi FlightMarketingAgency

Firstly thank you for purchasing our theme.

To show blog posts as presented in this page:

http://themes.laborator.co/aurum/fashion/blog/blog-masonry/

Simply add this shortcode in your page.

[vc_posts_grid loop="size:10|order_by:date" grid_columns_count="3" grid_layout="image|link_post,title|link_post,text|excerpt" grid_link_target="_self" grid_layout_mode="masonry" grid_thumb_size="360x250"]

The post grid you are using now is implemented by Visual Composer, so there are options to split blog posts in columns.

To change the button color add this Custom CSS:

.vc_btn3.vc_btn3-color-juicy-pink, .vc_btn3.vc_btn3-color-juicy-pink.vc_btn3-style-flat {
    color: #ffffff;
    background-color: #f4524d;
}

Replace with your own colors, first one is text color, second one is button background.

I hope this will help you.


Arlind

Hi, thanks for the code for changing the button color. As for the VC grid. I’m not talking about setting the page up like the demo. I’m talking about the image height on the frontpage. Could you please check the website homepage at http://avaspromise.com, I cropped the image height before adding it to the page but the height remains the same on the frontpage. I think this is a visual composer issue. So how can I fix this?

Hi there,

Can you please send us your WP credentials on email? We need to investigate your problem and then get back to you with possible solution.

To send us email use this link and please write us your request again, because we receive a lot of emails on daily basis and we unfortunately can’t remember all customers requests.

Hi ! How is it possible to make a text widget to the “top area”? I want to make a “Free delivery – Free return – Support from 10 am to 10 pm”

Hi there,

That’s something our users did manually, there is no built-in widget or plugin that does it.

“Aurum is a beautiful minimalistic theme with lots of customization possibilities. Very happy with this theme: easy setup, lots of supportmanuals and -videos and great live support too. Thanks Laborator-guys!”

  Aurum received a 5 star rating from Clautje1967 for Design Quality.

Are you using Aurum too? Don’t forget to rate it!.

Hello,

I am getting the following error while trying to import the demo content for books.

[ErrType: xml-wp-content] Gateway Time-out

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Could you please help?

Best regards, ZunairahCommerce

Hi ZunairahCommerce

It looks like this is related to Apache server, so I suggest you to increase Timeout value in httpd.conf or ask your host to do that, make the Timeout = 600, when you finish installing demo content you can revert back that value.

Here is the issue that explains this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26742580/504-gateway-time-out-the-server-didnt-respond-in-time-how-to-fix-it

Question is different, but it has to do with the same outcome.


Arlind

I translated the strings with poedit with the aurum pot.file. Works fine! However, a few texts are still in English or (woocommerce or Wordpress?) Dutch translations that I would like to change. Where can I find the Woocommerce textdomain and can I use Poedit for these as well? If you want I can send you screenshots?

I sent you the screenshots in email.

Hi

I will check the screenshots now and get back to your soon via email.


Arlind

Thanks Arlind!

Hello,

When do you plan on updating the Visual composer plugin? 4.8 adds a fix I need.

Fixed: Autocomplete of categories (woocommerce) (Product query)

Also, when I use the sticky menu and scroll the logo height is compressed. How do I stop this? It appears a style tag it added inline next to the logo and I am stuggling to override this.

Regards Gavin

Hi Gavin,

Can you please add the code below to Custom CSS

header.site-header.sticky.sticked .full-menu .menu-container .logo img#site-logo {
    min-width: 80px !important;
    margin-left: 20px !important;
}

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

I have added the code. It is no longer squashed but is a bit on the small side

Hi GlassFrog,

Hmm you can edit the code that i gave you earlier, for example 80px you can do it 75px or whatever size you prefer :)

Kind Regards,
—Ylli

Hi: Just purchased your theme and am really liking the look. However, is it possible to have the headings not default to all caps? I like the all caps look for actual headings, however I need some large readable text on my landing page and am having a hard time achieving this. Thanks!

Hi there,

You can try getting it back to normal by adding the code below to the Custom CSS:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
text-transform: none !important;
}

Kind Regards,
Art

Thanks, this worked.

Glad to hear that!

It would help us a lot if you could rate our item on ThemeForest from your Downloads tab, if you don’t know how just open this link :)

Thanks
