Hi
Just bought the flat book theme (code 44f91f79-eefe-436a-9007-ba2bfb0646f0) , tried to install over wordpress (just located the files in C:\), linux hosting in Godaddy, after upload found this error:
Hello, thanks for your purchase!
It seems that you haven’t installed & activated the required plugins of the theme before trying to import the demo content, please do that.
Next, you have tried to import the demo content several times, that’s why it says that xxx “already exist”. To start over again, i would suggest to reset your whole WordPress installion back to the defaults, there are several free plugins available for this purpose, like WordPress Reset.
Hope this helps, please try to follow the steps written in the getting started part of the documentation exactly. Cheers, Erik
Hi, the theme is fantastic, it was a mistake in the installation instructions, now its working fine
Thanks for your feedback, i’m happy that you like it
Happy customizing. Cheers, Erik
Hello,
I think there is a bug in the way your theme is handling YouTube videos in Mozilla FireFox on MAC. Even your Live Preview site has this problem. The video stars to load and stops 30% at the loading stage and leaves a black rectangle on the screen. It works OK on Safari or Chrome but FireFox is a problem.
I am trying to make the theme and the content of the site accessible on all browsers. May be a code snippet has left behind or a code might be the problem. I have done a lot of research and the only unexplored option is the theme itself. As soon as I have seen your Demo Site am convinced it is the theme.
Could you please advise how to fix the problem.
Best regards,
Kamen
Hi Kamen,
I just checked the demo with firefox, and for me it seems to work without any issues.. Anyway, i don’t really understand what do you mean when saying The video stars to load and stops 30% at the loading stage and leaves a black rectangle on the screen.
I was wondering, maybe can you send me a screenshot or screencast, where you can show me what do you see? You can send it via email, using the form on my themeforest profile page.
Cheers, Erik
Hi,
I’ve just noticed that the theme isn’t showing the first paragraph of wordpress pages, its fine for posts. How do I fix this?
Its missing the first two lines of text.
Thanks, Phil
Hi Phil, thanks for your purchase!
It’s because you disabled the default page header bar (what contains the page title) so the first paragraph of your content is pulled behind the menu bar.
To solve it, just add a few line breaks (enter) before the content in the editor of these pages.
Cheers, Erik
Hi Erik,
Thanks for your reply. It was a coder I hired who did this. Is there a way of restoring the default page header? what code is it? Also can I disable the page header on the front page?
Thanks, Phil
It is disabled in css, so to restore it add this to the very bottom of your styles.css file:
.page-heading { display: block; }
I checked your front page, and currently it seems that your front page header has been already disabled.
Cheers, Erik
Thanks! Fixed now.
Great. Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
I have been very happy with this theme. It was well worth the money going into it. It looks very professional and clean, and I really like that a lot. I’m very new to website building and even though I had a wordpress blog for several years, basically only knew how to create posts. This was sort of like a puzzle to figure out. It takes some knowledge of website building, but it looks way better than any of the free templates I found on wordpress. Thankfully, Erik, the creator, has been very responsive about all of the questions I’ve had during set up, He is super quick at replying and goes into detail with his answers. I’m very happy with this theme, and the support!
Hello, thanks for the glowing review and your positive feedback, your testimonial is much appreciated. I’m happy that you feel satisfied with the theme and found easy to achieve the expected results
Good luck with your site and let me know if you need any further assistance in the future. Cheers, Erik
Hi.
First off, thanks for this theme. So far, I really like it. It’s really smooth. I just had a question. Can I do something to stop the slider from moving with me while I’m scrolling?
Greetings!
Hello. Thanks for your purchase and i’m happy that you like it so much.
Sure, you can add this to the very bottom of your styles.css file (within your theme folder):
#slider { background-attachment: scroll !important; }
Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
Thanks for the quick response! It worked like a charm.
Is there also a fix like this for the menu? Because I toggled “Always visible” on but now it’s also following when I scroll down, unfortunately.
Again, thanks for the quick responses.
Greetings
No problem 
Well the “Always visible” nav menu was meant to be visible (but still attached to the top of the screen), however this is what you are looking for:
#header { position: relative !important; }
Let me know how it worked out! Cheers, Erik
Hello,
My theme start asking me to enter user name and password with Authentication Required box every time I reload the theme. Any Idea what is going on?
Thank you.
Hello, thanks for your purchase. I have already been noticed about this issue, it seems to be a bug somehow attached to my testing site. I assume something happened while i was testing the unreleased update (including an auto theme updater) of flatbook wordpress. I will share the solution once i found the bug. Cheers, Erik
Update: it turned out that it was a wrong host setting from my side, for now it has been corrected. Cheers, Erik
Is there going to be an update to the them to correct that or how should I fix that? I doesn’t look good when it asks you to log in every time you reload the theme.
Best regards,
Kamen
Check your site now, it should be disappeared for now. Cheers, Erik
Thank you, but I don’t need that gone for now I need that resolved for ever. I am going live with this site in the next week or two and I don’t want this happening…
Thank you.
Kamen
No worries, it’s resolved as i have already told you. Cheers, Erik
I’m wanting to purchase the FlatBook, the one question I have is the slider. Can I use a stand alone image, without the slider affect?
Hello. You can upload your custom slide model image, like a book mockup or anything else you prefer, in the appropriate image size. Cheers, Erik
Thanks, but what I meant was do I have to use a slider? I just want one image with the buttons. No sliders.
No problem, if you add only one slide in the theme options panel, the slider function and carousel navigation arrows won’t appear by default. Cheers, Erik
Hello. Just a quesion, I like this theme very much but I don’t like a one page for my business. Can all the links in the menu be changed to normal links so that we can just link it to different pages (with the same theme there)?
Cheers
Hello. You can create menu links pointing at separate pages, but you can use the onepage home template once. For the rest of the individual pages created, you can use the default page template of the theme. Cheers, Erik
What is different between these two versions: 1) http://themeforest.net/item/flatbook-flat-ebook-selling-wordpress-theme/6023410 (1.3.1?) 2) http://themeforest.net/item/flatbook-flat-ebook-selling-html5-template/5631976 (2.0.5?)
I want to purchase! Thanks!
Hello, the first one is the WordPress Theme and the second is the Html5 Template version of FlatBook.
Cheers, Erik
So, shoud I buy both? Thanks!
Absolutely not!
You can choose which version do you prefer according to your needs.
Cheers, Erik
Why the first version is more expensive than the second ? Sorry, I don´t understand…
No problem. Please check this forum thread. Cheers, Erik
Thanks! I understand! Can I use the template to update the theme? I will to purchase the theme right now. 
Thanks for your purchase. Currently not, i’m still working on the 2.0 update for the wordpress theme, it will remain 1-2 weeks until it will be ready to release
Cheers, Erik
Hi eriktailor, Great theme, thank you so much. I am having a few issues that I’m sure you can help me with. 1. I can’t get the “load more” button to disappear in the Objects section, despite only having 3 objects. 2. Contact Us page has the menu icon (hamburger) when it should not. 3. Hovering over menu items displays the icon id text ie- fa-home. 4. How do I increase the font size of menu text?
Thanks in advance! - Jon
Hey Jon, thanks for your purchase and appreciation, i’m glad you like it! 
.loadmore { display: none; }
2.) Can you send me the link to your “Contact Us” page? I’m not sure about why would you like to disable the hamburger menu toggle button..
3.) Open up your custom.js file from the /js folder, and add this to the end of the document (just above the closing “End of Document” comment):$('#menu a').removeAttr('title');
4.) Again, add this to the bottom of your style.css file:
#menu a { font-size: 18px; }
Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
Thank you, as requested here is the link to the Contact page.
You will notice the hamburger is not present on Home, Bookstore or Blog – which is how we prefer it.
I’m afraid i’m still not sure about what are you pointing at.. At the link you provided, the navbar has the “hamburger” toggle icon, isn’t it? Cheers, Erik
Sorry for any confusion. Yes it is there. As I stated, I DON’T want it on that page. It shouldn’t be there. No other pages have the hamburger so why does the Contact Us page think it should be any different? Also feel free to click on that icon and notice how absolutely nothing happens. It’s very puzzling…
.page-template-contact .menu-btn { display: none; }
Cheers, Erik
Thanks for your help. I had to remove the .page-template-contact part in order to get the menu-btn key line to work BUT all your suggestions worked like a charm. Thanks again for your help!
Your welcome
I’m glad to help if i can. Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik
Hi,
How can I integrate Instagram icon into theme? As Instagram is getting much more popular, can you do that? Or is there a way to change it, as I don’t use twitter for example.
Thank you J
Hello, thanks for your purchase! I believe the most rapid way is this:
- Open your footer.php file from your theme folder
- After line 31 (before the closing
/ultag), add this:<a href="http://www.instagram.com/user"><i class="fa fa-<span class="hilight">instagram</span>" /></a>
- Change the sample instagram link url yours
That’s it!
Happy editing! Erik
Hi Erik,
Can you please check my website and tell why it is showing Failed to load resource error for fb_color.php file in console? Because of that the styling of the website is not working properly.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards, V
Figured out already. Never mind.
Hello V, thanks for your purchase. Ok, thanks for your notice. Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik

Hi there,
I acquire the flatbook theme for wordpress but unfortunately after few tries I continue to receive the same message, telling me while I am trying to install the theme in wordpress, that the package could not be installed, the theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. I appreciate very much that you could help me solve this.
Thank you. Joao
Hi Joao, thanks for your purchase. Please read this article about solving the missing style.css issue.
Cheers, Erik
Hi, can I insert a page in addition to the normal home page? Just like a normal wordpress page (no blog)
thanks a lot
Hi, sure! Please read the creating pages part of the theme documentation. Cheers, Erik
Hi, I think I’ve solved, thanks
Ok, great!
Cheers, Erik
Hello, thanks for your help. I still can not enter in my site the samples

Hello, please contact me in email if this issue still remains. Cheers, Erik
Hello, please contact me in email if this issue still remains. Cheers, Erik
Hi, there is a guide for use template? (es. for the section “samples”)
Hi, sure! Please read the theme documentation carefully. Cheers, Erik
how can I add the shortcode and where I find the classes to include buttons and other elements of web design (icon, etc.)?
Hello, thx for your purchase! What classes would you like to include? All of the required assets of the theme are bundled with the download, you don’t need to include anything manually. Cheers, Erik
Hi Erik,
I purchased Flatbook theme.
I have some questions about the theme:
- when I choose only one pricing column, this one is on the left, how can I center it?
-on the mobile visualization (android galaxy S5) the buttons in header overlap and the numbers appear not in order.
- how can I change the font and increase its size?
You can see the theme here: primisugoogle.webmarketing.academy
Hope you can help me, thank you and have a nice day
Emanuele
ah, and how can I reduce / increase the lines of services in pricing table?
Hello Emanuele, thanks for your purchase.
when I choose only one pricing column, this one is on the left, how can I center it?
To center your pricing table, add this to the bottom of your styles.css file:
.eight.columns.highlighted.price-table {
display: block;
float: none;
margin: 25px auto !important;
}
on the mobile visualization (android galaxy S5) the buttons in header overlap and the numbers appear not in order
I checked your site, and it seems that you are using too long paragraphs & titles at some places, so it breaks the layout at those parts on mobile view. Please try to adjust the length of your text contents to be something similar like in the live theme demo.
how can I change the font and increase its size?
I believe the quickest way is to add this to your styles.css:
body {
font-size: 16px;
color: #yourColor;
}
Cheers, Erik
