Hi Wyde! How can I create a site map to my site? Thanks!

Hmm no, just a simple site map that is not intended for SEO purposes :)

Sorry but there is no feature for creating any site map in this theme, you should use the 3rd party plugins instead.

Okay no problem :)

Hello There,

sorry to disturb but the skype button is not working for me.

http://www.fuzzatelier.com/architecture/

As you can see new tab is open without any action.

Note. I’ve installed Total cache 3, maybe some js compression? The skype link is set as skype:fuzz.atelier?chat.

Many thanks.

Emanuele.

Hello there,

This button is working fine, when I click on this button it will launch the Skype on my desktop. Make sure you’ve Skype installed on your machine.

Ah ok, thanks! Maybe some cache issue. Thank you for your time.

Welcome :)

I am using the latest version 1.8, but my list icons aren’t showing up. (Black round dots)

Can you check it? http://hammadabdullah.com/list-building-what-to-know-before-starting/

Compared to older version. This block below is missing entirely. ” :before “

.info-box.icon-small ul>li:before, .post-content ul>li:before, .wpb_text_column ul>li:before {
    position: absolute;
    margin-right: 10px;
    padding: 0 2px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-weight: 700;
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    font-size: inherit;
    content: '\f138';
    text-align: center;
    margin-left: -25px;
}

Hi,

We’re sorry about this issue, in the recent update of our theme we’ve received a bug report with the list items within blog posts so we’ve removed some CSS styles of list items to resolve this issue.

Unfortunately, our blog posts have been created from the Visual Composer and these posts are working fine, all list icons also appear correctly.

Seems like this is a bug with the new CSS styles for list icons in our latest update, we will fix it ASAP!

Thank you to taking the time to report this issue.

However, in this period you can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to fix this issue.


<style type="text/css">
.post-content > ul > li,
.info-box.icon-small ul > li,
.wpb_text_column ul > li,
.post-content > ol > li,
.info-box.icon-small ol > li,
.wpb_text_column ol > li{
    margin-bottom:10px;
}

.post-content > ul > li:before,
.info-box.icon-small ul > li:before,
.wpb_text_column ul > li:before{
    position: absolute;
    margin-right: 10px;
    padding:0 2px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family:'FontAwesome';
    font-size: inherit;
    content: '\f138';
    text-align: center;
    margin-left: -25px;    
}
</style>

Hey guys! having an issue with the theme and no luck resolving it. I cannot for the life of me get any content to actually go full width to the edge of the page. No matter what there is always this white margin along both sides of the page. I tried switching the settings in theme options from wide to boxed and back to wide again. I disabled all extra plugins and still nothing. Is there something I am missing? I did not start this from scratch, I replaced an old theme with this one not sure if that could cause an issue.

Hi,

In order to create any full-width content, please follow the steps below:

1. Change the Template to “Full Width”, see the image below:

2. Edit the row and change the Content Width option to “Full Width”, see the image below:

Hi! As you can see on my website :

http://www.muvens.com/

the footer language selector does not work! The one in the menu perfectly, why? thank you!

Hi,

The footer menu can’t display any submenu as a dropdown menu, it can only display a top level menu. If you’d like to add a language selector to the footer menu you should add it as a separately top level menu item. If your plugin has no option for the selector menu style, you should add your custom link menu to the footer menu manually.

Hi! thanks, i love this theme, i have a question, how can i configure a mask top and bottom in the same section? Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry but you can choose only one from top or bottom in the same section.

ok im trying to Figure out thanks?

Hi Wyde,

I’m trying to get IDs to link properly. I have the following page :

https://www.dtechconsulting.com/careers-in-it/

There are 3 IDs on this page, i assigned the ID to the row, but they don’t seem to be linking properly.

I updated to the most recent version of the theme to see if that was the issue, still didnt work.

Any advice?

Hi,

The Row ID issue has been fixed in the theme version 1.7.3, you should update the theme to fix this issue.

i am currently running version 1.7.3 – I am able to enter the row ID but they just aren’t linking

We’re sorry but seems like the Row ID issue still hasn’t been resolved. We’ll release any fix to resolved this issue ASAP!

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Hello

And where do i add the seo therms?

Kind regards

Hello,

Try Yoast SEO plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ )

However, if you’d like to add any custom meta tags to your website you can also add them in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content.

Hello i want to add the google analytics code in the website Where do i do that? Do i paste the script or just the Google Analytics ID?

Also the cache its taking quit a while to show the changes i’ve made. I Installed the WP Super Cache. Still takes quite some time. Kind regards

Hello,

You can add the google analytics code in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as the code below:


<script type="text/javascript">
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X', 'auto');
  ga('send', 'pageview');

</script>

Regarding the cache plugin, try using W3 Total Cache plugin (https://th.wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) instead, we also use this plugin on our demo sites.

Hi Wyde :)

About cookies, if cookies are disabled, is there any features that will not be available?

Thanks Wyde :)

Hi,

We never use any cookie in the code of our theme at all but we suppose your WordPress website and other plugins such as WooCommerce requires cookies for some features such as logged in users, see more -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies

Thanks Wyde. :)

Hello,

I have just updated my theme earlier, before that, my contact forms 7 works fine. I tested the site to looked for errors and found out that my contact forms is not working. It says:

“Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.”

All recommended plugins are up to date. Screen shots: http://prntscr.com/9c0uxw http://prntscr.com/9c0v5h

Thanks!

Hello,

Normally, the theme updating won’t affect your contact form settings. However, there are really various reasons for this problem. Try to change the “From” field from [your-name] to [your-name] <wordpress@yourdomain>. Your WordPress site requires email address “wordpress@yourdomain” to send any email. In our demo site, we’ve set the “From” field in contact form to [your-name] <wordpress@wydethemes.com> and it’s working fine.

If it still doesn’t work, please see this link -> http://contactform7.com/faq/i-get-an-error-message-with-a-red-border-so-how-can-i-solve-this/

Hi Wyde,

Postman SMTP worked. Thanks! :)

I am trying to figure out how to update this theme and i get nowhere. Does it lack a function for automatic updates?

We have gotten notifications about available updates but we dont know how to proceed. Or what best practice would be if updating manually.

What should we do?

Hi,

You can follow the instructions on how to update the theme in our documentation.

Also, in the future please contact us from the account that purchased this theme to make sure you’re currently in the correct product page that corresponds to what you have purchased.

Thank you!

Working with the VELA theme. But can’t find where to change the pictures and text in the demo at the top. Please tell me where to edit this. Thank you ;-)

If you’re talking about the text and background image in the slider at the top, you can edit them in Revolution Slider section on your admin menu. Edit each slide in the slider to see these text and images.

Thank you! ;-)

Hi! Great theme. One more little issue:

We’re using a sticky header and find that when we scroll up towards the top on a page with a rev slider offsetting the menu, just before the header sticks to the bottom of the slider, we get a brief flash of a ghost-header moving up towards its place but WITH the slider’s offset. This means it appears in the middle/bottom of the page.

This looks a little glitchy. I see this behaviour on your vela1 sample, too. Is there a way to disable this behaviour so that the header just appears up top?

Thanks!

Hi there, I’ve updated the theme, but the issue persists. Is it coming in the next update? My client thinks it looks glitchy. We’d rather not mess around with the core theme and we’re itching to launch!

Thanks

Hi there,

Sorry but this issue will be resolved in our next update that will be released within a week.

Thanks Wyde!

Hi, how can I make custom changes to “Vela/css/vela.min.css”? I’m using a child theme and can only make changes to “Vela/style.css”.

When using child theme you can add your custom CSS to style.css to override any styles on vela.min.css and other stylesheet files.

Hi, I’ve been using your theme for a while and only recently I’ve had this problem. Most of my images don’t seem to be appearing any more in the safari browser. I’ve checked on a few different machines and all of them are the same yet all of the images show fine in chrome.

My website is: www.thirdavenuephotography.co.uk

An example page of where they are not appearing: http://www.thirdavenuephotography.co.uk/modelling-portfolio/

Can you help? Regards, Dan

Hi,

We visited your website but it is not currently using our theme, so we couldn’t answer with this question.

Hi I have installed the Vela One page business theme on my wordpress website – www.forgeply.com

I need to change the font-color of the header. Please let me know how to go about it.

Thanks!

Harshal

Hi,

The CSS code should start and end with STYLE tag, when we provided any code please don’t copy the code from your email but should copy from the comment page instead. So you should remove PRE tag from the code.

Hi Sorry about that…changed it. but there’s still the issue of the first menu option “home” . Its font color hasn’t changed. Plus the header is sticky and its background white when I scroll down, which means that all the menu options practically become invisible. Anything to solve that?

To fix the issue on sticky, please replace the code that we provided in the previous comment with a new one below:

<style type="text/css">

#header.light:not(.fixed) .nav>ul>li>a{
color:#fff;
}
</style>

However, the hover menu item and the selected item will be use the color from theme color scheme in Theme Options -> Styling.

Hello Wyde,

I have some validation issue on my pages :

https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brockwayproduction.fr%2Ftarifs%2F

I dont really understand the warning, but it occur often on my website, how can i fix thoses ? Also for the error, i leave it to your awesome fixes. :)

Cheers.

For the error with “hgroup”, it came from the VC Call to Action, we will remove “hgroup” from this element in our next update and this error will be resolved too.

For other errors about “scx”, these errors came from the Chat plugin (at the bottom right).

Great :) Did the 1.8 is compatible WP 4.4 ?

Today, we just tested Vela 1.8 with WP 4.4 and there is no problem so far.

Hi, when using Visual Composer, in the Cutsom Heading Settings text block, when I enter a carriage return, the first block of text is fine, but on the next block the font changes? Any ideas. Thanks

Hi,

Please send us this page URL so we can investigate this issue and help you out.

Hi, I need to have two different expressions (in german) for the prev/next links in the blog and the portfolio page. I’m using WPML for the translations, but if I change the text of the prev/next links, the expressions are the same in the blog and the portfolio page. So I tried to find the template for the single blog posts to add a new expression which I can translate. But I can’t find the template where I can change it. Thans for your help and your nice theme!

Hi,

In order to work with WPML plugin, please follow the steps below:

1. Translate file “languages/Vela.po” in your Vela theme by using POEdit (https://poedit.net/).

2. Save your translated file to your Child Theme in “languages/de_DE.po” and “languages/de_DE.mo”.

3. Add the code below to functions.php in your child theme:

function vela_after_setup_theme() {
    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'Vela', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'vela_after_setup_theme' );

Thank you for your answer. Maybe I didn’t describe well my problem. I changed a line in the file ”/inc/custom-functions.php”. I copied the folder “inc” with the new file “custom-functions.php” in the child theme folder. Normally the homepage shows the files in the child theme folder before the files in the original theme folder, but in the homepage is still the text of the original custom-functions.php file. What exactly should I add to the functions.php of the child theme to recognize the folder “inc” with the new file “custom-functions.php” in the child theme folder?

Unlike other template files in the root directory of the theme, custom-functions.php in folder “inc” includes the main custom functions of the theme, it won’t work when you copy this file to your child theme.

If you’d like to change any word or text, you should translate .po file that included in the “languages” folder instead of edit the text in the theme function directly.
