Hello,
I didn’t see the MP4 video in this slider, there is only WEBM format in this slider, make sure you already added the MP4 video to this video layer, see more on how to add an HTML5 video layer to the slider here -> http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slide-layers/#layer-video
If it still doesn’t work please send us an admin login credentials in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so our support can investigate this issue and help you out.
thanks, its working After adding MP4 Video
HI, which is the suggested multilingual template for Flora Theme? WPML, Q Tanslate …. THANKS
This theme is compatible with WPML but we’ve never tested this theme with QTranslate at all.
Hi, I’ve purchased the Flora theme. Great theme but I’m struggling to get the background video working on iPad and iPhone.
Initially thought it was my video format but I’ve made sure that’s all correct and the video will play on its own in both Safari and Chrome but doesn’t show up as a background. On the iPhone I get a big black no play symbol.
http://theawardshop.staging.wpengine.com/Help most appreciated. Thanks
Hi,
There is an issue with the video background on mobiles and tablets since this theme has no mobile video format option for mobile version (.webm) and fallback image option. We will add these options ASAP!
Hi there,
Love the theme so far, but have found one problem. When I’m on the menu page in the admin, there are two messages at the top of the screen:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/sites/h/hcs.metalpotato.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wyde-core/inc/class-wyde-mega-menu.php:31) in /var/sites/h/hcs.metalpotato.net/public_html/wp-includes/option.php on line 787

I have seen similar messages before with other themes, and I’ve always just uploaded a new copy of the files it mentions. I’ve done that several times, but the messages persist. Any idea?
Hi there,
Could you please send us your site URL and admin login credentials in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so our support can investigate this issue and help you out.
Hey I have an issue on my website. The link is http://192.254.166.37/sociallyin/about/
The issue I am having is I have the team members slider element setup on the backend of my website, but it isn’t showing on the frontend. I’m not sure what the issue is. I updated to latest version and all plugins are updated. Can we fix this? I can email you screenshots if needed.
Hi,
Seems like there is a plugin conflict on your website, we found the script from “Enjoy Instagram Images Gallery” plugin causes this problem, you should deactivate this plugin to fix this issue.
If it still doesn’t work, try to deactivate other plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin.
An amazingly visually powerful theme! Pre-sales question; on your default home page, 3rd section – the title text animates in ans sits partly over the image (like ‘One click demo import’ title). In admin can this be set to line up with the text below? Many thanks in advance.
Hi,
Yes, of course! It’s just a theme design with overlapped title but you can remove an extra class from this heading element so it will be moved to line up with the text below.
Hi, how can we change homepage Font? which multilingual plug-in is better to be installed? thanks SP
Hi,
You can change the font styles including font family in Theme Options -> Typography -> Body.
How do I hide the feature image on a portfolio page from being included in the gallery? I just want what’s uploaded under “Gallery Options” on the actual page.
Hello there,
This option has been added to the new update of this theme that will be released in a few days.
Would I be able to get custom code in the mean time, I have an interview this weekend and would like to get the gallery working if possible
We’re sorry but it’s too hard to provide the whole code to modify this since the theme comes with 4 portfolio page templates so you need to edit the code within all of them that have an individual style for each template. Please wait for our update, we will submit this update in a few hours.
So I downloaded the updated theme zip and when I tried to upload it, I got this message
Installing Theme from uploaded file: flora.zip Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists. /home2/smdempes/public_html/wp-content/themes/flora/
Theme install failed.
Hi,
If you’d like to update the theme via WordPress, you need to delete the old Flora theme from your website before uploading a new one. Simply switch to another theme such as Twenty Fifteen, and then delete Flora theme. You can update the theme automatically by using Envato WordPress Toolkit plugin. For more details on how to update the theme please follow the instructions in our documentation.
Awesome, I got it to upload. How do I get it to hide the feature image now that I have the theme update?
You can turn off the Featured Image option in Theme Options -> Portfolio -> Portfolio Single Post to hide the featured image from portfolio post page.
Hello, there. I’ve bought your theme and its amazing. I have one question though. How can I make my FAQ (the one in the visual editor) titles not to capitilize on each word? There is not a option for text transformation on the FAQ settings.
Hello,
The title of FAQ will transform to capitalize by default since it’s an H4 element. Thanks for your valuable questions, we’re looking into this to change it to auto so it will display as your input text in our next update.
Also, if you’d like to change it now, you can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
.w-toggle.active > h4{
text-transform: none;
}
</style>
Hi there. It worked, but only for the first FAQ line which have toggle option turned on. The other ones which are closed remain the same (capitalized) 
Sorry for the previous code, please remove .active from the code so it should be as the code below:
<style type="text/css">
.w-toggle > h4{
text-transform: none;
}
</style>
Thank you very much. It worked out fine. I have two more questions though. Hope you don’t mind.
1) How can I adjust the width of that vertical menu que appears on mobile? It clamps some of my links (maybe due its text lenght) and my e-mail as well.
2) The same about the FAQ caption text but this time on the Info Box shortcode. How can I avoid to have each word capitalized?
Thanks.
1. You need to add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Head Content, to change the width of side menu and mobile menu.
<style type="text/css">
#side-nav{
width: 300px;
-ms-transform: translateX(-300px);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
}
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #header,
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #content,
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #footer{
-ms-transform: translateX(300px);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
}
@media (min-width: 1080px){
.left-nav #content,
.left-nav #footer {
padding-left: 300px;
}
}
</style>
2. You can replace the custom code of FAQ in the previous comments with the new one below:
<style type="text/css">
.w-toggle > h4,
.w-info-box.w-large .w-header h3,
.w-info-box.w-medium .w-header h3,
.w-info-box.w-small .w-header h3{
text-transform: none;
}
</style>
Hi there.
1. Your code worked partially. This time the left menu bar shows a little of itself on the browser even before the menu link is pressed. Here’s a screenshot to illustrate de problem: https://gyazo.com/c082420ab53e947ea62ed0d6190fcc71
2. That worked fine. Thanks
—NEW QUESTIONS --
3. How can I avoid my plog posts titles to be cropped by the masonry layout? Let me exemplify the issue. I create a title called: NEW INTERVIEW WITH JOHN DOE, but only NEW INTERVIEW is shown.
4. I have an option to display the blog post author biography by the end of the posts, but I can’t find a way to add a image profile, not even on my default WP user page. Can you help?
Thank you! Wonderful theme and support. Will give 5 stars for sure.
Hi there,
1. Sorry, seems like the code above was missing the mobile navigation styles, please replace the previous code with a new one below:
<style type="text/css">
#side-nav{
width: 300px;
-ms-transform: translateX(-300px);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
}
.mobile-nav #side-nav{
-ms-transform: translateX(-300px);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
transform: translate3d(-300px,0,0);
}
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #header,
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #content,
.mobile-nav.side-nav-active #footer{
-ms-transform: translateX(300px);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
transform: translate3d(300px,0,0);
}
@media (min-width: 1080px){
.left-nav #content,
.left-nav #footer {
padding-left: 300px;
}
}
</style>
2. 
3. The latest update will display 2 lines of blog post titles, try to update your theme to resolve this issue.
4. You should use Gravatar for user profile image and you can create your Gravatar here -> https://en.gravatar.com/
WordPress integrates Gravatars into every WordPress site. Once registered with Gravatar, the service matches your WordPress profile information to the email address registered with Gravatar and displays your custom Gravatar image on your WordPress site.
See more on how to use Gravatar on your WordPress site -> https://codex.wordpress.org/How_to_Use_Gravatars_in_WordPress
1. Everything is fine now. Thanks.
3. I updated the theme using Envato’s Tool Kit and every plugin was uptadated as well. The issue continues though.
There is an adjustment to be made on the settings? I didn’t find any. Here a example: https://www.academiacriativa.com/category/entrevista/ – There is a word missing.
4. Thanks. It is working now.
If I may suggest you one thing, would be nice to have a way to put personal social media icons and links on the post author description.
EDIT: is it normal to lost all my Codestyling adjustments after updating the theme?
Hi there. I have a new question:
5. Is it possible to remove the Continue Shopping button, the one at the bottom of the cart page? Or maybe redirect its link to somewhere else? Thanks.
Sorry about the double message.
I would like to know if its possible to remove the CONTINUE SHOPPING at the bottom of the cart page or change it’s link. The same about the breadcrumbs at the top as well. Thank you.
Sorry but there is no option to remove this button and the breadcrumbs on Shop Page. In order to remove these elements, you need to modify WooCommerce templates in the folder “woocommerce” within the theme folder, see more on how to edit WooCommerce templates here -> https://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/
Nice. Thank you.
I have a new question. I would like to change the Cart name on the cart icon in the navigation bar. When I change it, the button increase its size and then its overlaying the price total text. Can you help?
The Cart button in the primary menu will be fixed in our next update. 
Nice, thanks. Wyde, I have one more thing to ask. About that two lines blog posts. I updated the theme but it’s not working. My blog titles are still cropped. Is there any settings to adjust?
Thank you very much! 
Hi,
Could you please send us your blog page URL so our devs can investigate this issue and help you out.
Hey, nevermind. Everything seems to be working fine now. Thank you! One new question and I believe I’m finally ready to let you free, haha. You support is great, congrats.
So, is it possible to change the size of mega menu? I would like to use two colums, but they are to far away of each other which looks a little strange. See this print for reference: https://gyazo.com/99cc75adcc47e2b9d6fe623185bef54d
Also that cyan line looks broken. It suddenly changes into a gray color. What is this?
Thank you again.
Hi,
If you’d like you can add the space to each column of mega menu by adding the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
.dropdown-nav ul > li.megamenu.grid-2-cols > ul > li{
padding: 10px 50px;
}
</style>
Regarding the cyan line at the bottom of mega menu group title, this is not a bug but it’s a theme design as you see the gray line on all our demo sites, see the image below:
Nice, thanks. I have one question. Some visitors from my site says that sometimes all the icons disappears. Today I saw this issue myself. Please refer to this print: https://gyazo.com/d25634501b3ca4a817348ed4203070c1 It’s like all social media icons, search icon and font awesome icons all disappears and instead the browser shows a blank icon. This happens on Chrome and Firefox for what has been noticed. What can we do? Thanks!
Sorry, double post: this issue is a little random. Sometimes everything renders perfect, sometimes don’t.
Also, something that I noticed is the favicon icon. On Edge it renders perfectly but on Chrome and Firefox don’t. Actually it seems like they uses the logo instead of the favicon upload. Please, see: www.academiacriativa.com
This issue happened when your browser couldn’t load font icons from your host. There are many factors involved with this issue. It’s might because sometimes your host has too many connections and requests so your host couldn’t response at this time. Maybe you’ve visited your site from cross domain (on another sub-domain that’s different from www) so your browser couldn’t download icons from cross domain. You should use developer tools to inspect elements and see any errors on your browser. When using Chrome or Firefox on Windows you can press F12 to open this developer tools.
However, you can try to install a cache plugin such as W3 Total cache (https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) that can improve your server performance and reduce download times.
This applies to the Favicon issue as well?
Also, other question. Please, see this print. https://gyazo.com/f55554b28afed9b0229dc39cf430d312 Do you have any date to solve this kind of issue?
Thanks.
For icon issue, we’re not sure why you couldn’t see icons and favicon on your website but we’ve never seen this issue on your website, we’ve visited your website many times but everyday it works fine. Also, we’ve never seen this issue on our demo sites, you should contact your host admin directly, I hope they can answer with this question.
Regarding the cart button issue, this issue will be resolved in our next update that will release within a week.

Is there a way to take the zoom magnifying glass feature off of the portfolio thumbnails?
You can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to hide this icon.
<style type="text/css">
.w-view figure figcaption > span{
display: none;
}
</style>
Hi, is there any options on the theme to edit the 404 page not found appearance? Thanks!
There is no option to edit the 404 page in the current version. We will look into this to add this option in the future.
Ok.. Anyway it would be nice to have options on editing the color at least. Is there any way to achieve in a simple way? I’ll Look forward to any updates in this direction too. Thanks!
You can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content, to change the background color of the circle page title.
<style type="text/css">
.page-404-title{
background: #ffd300;
}
</style>
You can change the background color from #ffd300 to any colors, if you’d like.
This worked for me. Thanks!!
Welcome 
Hi,
I’m building a website and using video in the background of the title area. It’s working beautifully on the desktop but is not displaying on the iPad. Should it be working? Or is there a display on mobile setting somewhere for changing this out?
Hi,
Even we enabled the video on mobile, it still didn’t work. Seems like the slider couldn’t play the video on mobile at all, see this comment from Themepunch, the creator of the Revolution Slider plugin -> http://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380/comments?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=video+ipad&from_buyers_and_authors_only=0&order_by=newest#comment_11529288
You should add the fallback image to show your image background on mobile instead.
Hi Thanks for your reply. Sorry just posted another one because I hadn’t see this one!
I’m not using the Revolution Slider but just the title area in the theme and there didn’t seem to be an option there for a fall back image.
Hi,
There is an issue with the video background on mobiles and tablets since this theme has no mobile video format option for mobile version (.webm) and fallback image option. We will add these options ASAP!
Do you have a time frame when you think you might get these options added?
Unfortunately, we just released the latest update of this theme a few days ago so the next update will be available in next month.
How do I customize the color of the hover on portfolio page thumbnails?
Almost of hover effects in portfolio will use the color from theme color scheme, you can change this color in Theme Options -> General, choose from predefined colors or select from custom colors.
However, if you’d like to change the portfolio hover color to the different color from theme color scheme you should add the custom CSS to change it manually.
I did select black as my custom color, but the portfolio thumbnail hovers still come up teal.
Seems like there is a bug with this hover effect, I just edited the custom styles on your website and it’s working now.
Also, it will also be fixed in our next update so you can update the theme without losing these changes.
Hey I was wondering is there any way to filter which team members the team members slider shows. For example if I have 8 team members and I want the first 4 to show on the 1st row, and the next 4 to show in the 2nd row is that possible.
Hi,
You can filter the output by using Custom Posts option. Click on Build query button. You can add the member category to Taxonomies field or add a specific member name to Individual Posts/Pages/Custom Post Types to include it in the output.
Hello, On single Post view the Primary Menu is not working. In Detail: Fresh Wordpress 4.3.1. with One Page demo imported. Everything fine. But in single Post view (when i open a post from the blog section) the Primary Navigation does not work any more (means it shows up, but the clicked page doesn’t load). The hyperlinks in the menu seem ok. I have not changed them…confused (I am a web developer). Could you please help me?
Hello,
When working on One Page site, you should change the permalink settings in Settings -> Permalinks -> Common Settings, from Default to Post name.
Hello Wyde,
Like we discuss on comment something is definitly wrong on my side, with theme options that generaly dont work at all, and get overiide by page and posts settings.
Also, i still got issues with :
1- get send to cart automatly 2- size of menu icons too small 3- increase the logo max height (i did perfectly on Vela, but cant on Flora) 4- custom css dont work 5- bug on “my-account” page 6- slider too big despite any settings or efforts 7- some minor bug i still dont publish, but more than happy to send you privatly
If you prefer than i send you all my bug reports in private i can do so.
Hello,
I accessed your dashboard and these issues have been resolved.
1. You’ve selected “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition” option so when you click on add to cart button you will navigate to cart page automatically, see the image below:
However, I just unchecked this option so it’s working now.
2. I just added the code that I sent you in the previous comment, seems like it works fine.
3. Flora was different from Vela theme. However, I also added the custom CSS to increase the logo height for you and it’s working now.
4. I can add the custom CSS to your Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content and it works as you can see that both menu icon size and logo height have been changed.
5. The issue on “my-account” page has been resolved in the next update that will release in a few days.
6. As my previous comments, I just changed the the Transparent Header option for your home page so your slider seems to fit perfectly within the browser screen (when you visit your website without admin bar).
7. You can report any issue on the comment page or send us an email directly as you’d like.
Thank you for taking the time to report these issues.
1. Ok i see, i take the project to refresh this website for someone, and everything was 2 years old, seems that when i update everything, it add this box and check it by default, sorry for that, i updata everything just after installing your theme, so i assume it was your theme… Mt bad.
2. Indeed it work, thanks.
3. i believe that i did the exact same thing as you and it didnt work, i must have done something slightly wrong, thanks for that too.
4. It work, thank you.
5. Cool 
6. I did not found this option on my own, but if you make a screen of where she is, i will be more than happy to not bother you with that in the future 
7. i will send you the screenshots soon then 
And thanks to you for all this support and quick fixes, i will consider you on more projects, and cant wait what you got in the future 
Thanks !
Also can i have the quick fix for the login page, i get so much calls because it dont work…
In order to fix the login page, you need to edit the WooCommerce login page template. You should wait for the new update that will be released within 24 hours. In this period, you can disable registration option for your shop page since when the login page has no sign up form, it will work fine.
Ok thanks.
Also why my title in blog the title are cut ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nhx2molkk3g8zo/Capture%20d%27%C3%A9cran%202015-11-13%2015.26.15.png?dl=0
When the blog grid displays the full title, the post in grid layout will have the different height that can mess up the grid layout. It will show the full title in the post detail page. However, we will look into this to change this layout can display the title with 2 lines.
Ok, do you have an ETA on that and products ? Because on products it’s really important ! Even if it mess up the display a bit…
Also here a file to DL, 1 screen and 2 videos, of some bugs we encounter on an ipad :
https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/188cd3f02994ed91be9a1a9c1bd727f620151113151650/fa6c6400872ee997af256f8d662d759c20151113151650/a4cb84Thank you for taking the time to report these issues. We’ve downloaded them and we’ll fix them ASAP!
For the title of product and blog grid, it will be resolved in our new update and we will submit this update within 24 hours.
Like always, you are the best guys 
You’re welcome!
Hello Wyyde,
Still no update coming ?
Regards.
We’ve submitted the update 18 hours ago.
Indeed it realease few hours after my comment. It fix lot of issues
Thanks, i will send screenshots of still not reported ones.
Welcome
Hello Wyde, small bug with checkbox spotted : http://www.truffes-goyat.fr/commande/
(Could be great it adapt to the color of other fields and also have the padding necessary beetween checkboxes)
Cheers 
Just in case, my code :
[text* your-name placeholder “Nom, Prénom “]
[email your-email placeholder “Email *“]
[tel your-tel placeholder “Telephone”]
Produit: [checkbox Produits “Bourgogne” “Été” “Périgord”]
[textarea your-message placeholder “Message”]
[submit “Envoyer ma Commande”]
Also it could be great to have the footer at the bottom of the page.
Hello,
Please add the custom CSS below to the Page Settings window as the steps we provided in the previous comments:
.w-text-light ::-webkit-input-placeholder {
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
}
.w-text-light ::-moz-placeholder {
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
}
.w-text-light :-ms-input-placeholder {
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
}
.w-text-light input:-moz-placeholder {
color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
}
.wpcf7-list-item{
margin:0 15px 0 10px;
}
.main-content{
min-height: 700px;
}
This code will resolve all issues.
Anyway that it get into a new update ? or global ?
Also here you can see the line for missing field display twice (1 in the line 1 in the top of the form) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/h3ykwtzq51o8bw4/Capture%20d%27%C3%A9cran%202015-11-07%2001.44.50.png?dl=0
And it’s messing up the alignment of the form…
I hope those bugs reports will be usefull, regards 
First of all, the color of the fields in dark background is part of template design so it won’t be added in a new update, you should add the custom CSS to your page settings to change this color on your page. But the issue with padding of checkboxes and footer issue will be resolved in the next update.
For the author text issue, we will fix it ASAP!
Regarding the contact form issue, those required field messages have been generated by the contact form 7 plugin automatically. However, we will look into this to remove one from this plugin. Thanks!
Hi!! something terrible just happened. I was in the Pluggins checking to see how to direct the message in the contact form to my email. And this appeared: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’@’ in /home/sofia/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/mail.php on line 20
And I cannot do anything PLEASE HELP ;(

If it still doesn’t work, please send us your URL and admin login credentials in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so our support can investigate this issue and help you out.
Thank you! But right know this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’@’ in /home/sofia/public_html/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/mail.php on line 20
that comes out is the main problem, it seems like my page broke, and it doesn’t let me edit or do anything in wordpress
Try to deactivate the Contact Form 7 plugin. If this works, you can install and activate it again.
I uploaded featured images to my portfolio pages, and I’m working on the layout of each page now. But the gallery of the portfolio pages are having trouble loading the page thumbnails. When I scroll down and the infinite scroll curser just keeps loading but they never show up. All the thumbnail images are 640×640 at 72DPI.
Hi,

Hi, really enjoying the theme thank you 
I’m wanting to use the VC advanced grid builder in my page layout. The version supplied with the theme doesn’t seem to be the latest or include this. Is updating to 4.8 on the cards any time soon?
Thanks, Keryn
Hi,
We’re sorry, the Grid Builder from Visual Composer has been disabled since the first released of this theme. The theme includes its own grid layout including masonry layout to suite for blog post and portfolio post, this theme also includes the grid and masonry layout for Image Gallery so please use the existing grid layout instead of the VC grid builder.
Hi,
I’ve just had a play with the grid builder that comes with Flora and I can’t seem to get it working to display posts by category, it’s only showing portfolio items. I might be missing something with the query builder?
What I liked about the VC grid builder was that you could create your own grid styles. I want to be able to put buttons etc in the grids and the grid builder seemed to offer more powerful options for displaying the elements.
The portfolio grid always display the portfolio items, if you’d like to display the blog posts by category you should use the Blog Posts element instead. You can filter the output by using Custom Post option and add the specific category to the Category field in Build query section.
Exactly, the VC grid builder offers more powerful options but this element is not compatible with AJAX Page Transition that included in this theme.
