Hi there! I love your theme and was considering purchasing it for my company. However, I noticed that it’s not compatible with IE9. Will the theme have major issues with IE9, or is it something that’s pretty manageable/reparable?
Hey there! Thanks for your interest. Basically, I think that it is not strange if a theme does not support the IE9 
. Specifically, the main issues are related with the animations which the IE9 does not support, you can check it by yourself. There are not major issues in header, footer, menu. Finally, we will see if we can do something in the next update.
Best Regards.
How do I find the blade hawkbill files?
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing Blade
You just need to install the Blade Demo Importer and import the Hawkbill demo. Please use our Support Forum if you need further help. Our support team will be glad to help you!
Best Regards.
My question is if all of the demo photos are included in the theme?
Hey there,
Unfortunately, we are legally bound due to copyright issues, so we cannot provide the images. These are for demonstration purposes only.

Hi guys, great themes. I have one questions: if I purchase the theme, I’m need to change the image logo only in the “blog” area. Is possible whit your theme? Thanks, Eva
Hi eva365,
Thanks for your interest! Having different logo per page is not an out of the box option in Blade. Without being sure, maybe there is a modification for this via the child theme.
Regards.
Hey, great theme. Quick question. I’m finding that when using the scrolling sections page template the responsive options don’t seem to work? The sections show regardless of whether I hide them on desktop or mobile. Any ideas?
Hey there,

Great theme, its working well with what I need. Is it possible to set max height of a horizontal portfolio slider? Also is it possible to overlay a PNG with transparency for company logos that would overlay over the default image? Thanks!

Upgrading from Osmosis to Blade…
1) Navigation menu – can it support multiple word menu items on two lines/rows (I have long two-word nav menu items like ‘forward thinking’, ‘speed summaries’ that I’d like to break into two rows so ‘forward’ would be above ‘thinking’ as one item…
forward thinking
2) Is Blade compatible with VC Particles Background (really need this!) – http://vc.wpbakery.com/addons/particles-background/ http://codecanyon.net/item/vc-particles-background/131397263) Is the upgrade smooth from Osmosis (i.e. will I lose page layouts created with VC / theme options on Osmosis)
4) Is Blade VC 2.9 – 30% faster?
Thanks
Hey there,
Thanks for checking our new theme
1) Unfortunately, we have not checked this plugin so we are not sure. However, we will check the possibility to embed the particles.js in a future release. Thanks for your feedback.
2) Honestly, Blade’s framework is more powerful than Osmosis as we have redesigned many things. That means you will need to recreate some of your content like Theme Options and Feature Section settings. You will probably have only a few issues in the content (elements from the Visual Composer).
3) This is something that deals with the new version of the VC and not with our themes. Have in mind that in few hours the version 2.9 of Osmosis will be launched on TF with the VC 4.9 so you will be able to test it by yourself.
Last but not least, be sure that Blade is a high-quality theme as Osmosis. Maybe the Blade’s presentation is not very persuasive in order to make potential customers to understand its incredible possibilities. However, we are sure that the buyers of Blade will purchase it again and again
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best Regards.
About the menu, as you can read here we have already added some new options. We will also support the description field for the menu items in the next release so anyone will be able to have two lines per menu item. Hope that helps!
Regards.
thanks that’s great news – purchased – and bought VC particles plugin too – if there’s anyway next theme update could be made to be compatible – that’d be super cool. Thanks!
Thanks for purchasing Blade Waiting for your feedback on our Support Forum.
Cheers.
Great, thanks – just sent a support query to Support Forum re: Theme Options
You will get an answer asap
is it posible to add video to main slider?
Hello folik,
Thanks for your comment! As you can check here – http://greatives.eu/themes/blade/header-below/ , you can have a featured HTML video. If you need to combine videos with images in the same slider, you can use the Revolution Slider which comes bundled with Blade.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.
Wow! Looks amazing! Can you get the cute animations in the restaurant template, ULU? You have camera and typewriter…can it be easily customised? And does the demo install include images, or placeholders?
Hey there! Thanks for your comment With Blade you can easily create what you see! The camera and typewriter are gif images, handcrafted from our graphic designer. If you import the content, you will get placeholders.
We look forward to having you on board!
Regards.
Hi there, this is a beautiful theme! I’m just curious if it has any content selection/slider functionality, similar to the first and third modules on this theme: http://blueowlcreative.com/wp/fortuna/new-elements-v1-2/ . Please let me know!
Hey there! We are glad you like Blade. About your question, we would appreciate if you do not send us links from other themes on TF. Thanks for your understanding
Feel free to check our handcrafted elements and Blade’s detailed demos.
Best Regards.
Ok so i bought this when it came out but had not used it yet. I had a troublesome client demand an overnight website. Usually, I’d stick to a theme I know to product something in a few hours but this time I thought I’d load up blade. I was prepared to get annoyed and go back to an old faithful….
BUT HOLY HELL. THIS THEME IS AMAZING.
I cannot believe the amount of control you have built in, not only to each page options, theme options etc, but also all the VC blocks.
Seriously amazing work guys. Virtual pat on the back from me!
Thank you so very much ladydekade for your comment and for your rating
...and please stay connected
Version 1.3 of Blade will be launched in a couple of days. Many Christmas Gifts will be included for our customers!
Hi,
Purchased this great theme and imported the default Blade content, however I can see no place to add a slider, slider revolution also did not import any data. Is this normal.
Hello mattcuff,
Thanks for purchasing Blade
Could you please open a ticket on our Support Forum? Our support team would be happy to help you.

Have done
Thanks
The social and menu icons in the upper right corner are not appearing in the demo text. Do I need to install something in order for them to work? Thanks so much.
Hello gnucreations,
Thanks for using Blade .
There is no need to install something. Have you added your social links in Theme Options > Social Media?
Regards.
Yes, I added our Twitter account. The icons are still displaying as boxes, as if the font isn’t being read correctly.

Thanks.
Yes, I see. It is something related with your installation. Could you please open a ticket on our Support Forum? Our team will be happy to help you

Hi Great theme. Full of options and possibilities and super clean code! I’d like to know the best way to edit popup modals. There is not much information about it. How i can put a title and some phones numbers to the modal that containg the contact form?
Thanks in advance
Hello Asere,
Thank you so much for your kind words
About the popup modals, you just create any Contact Form 7 with any fields you need and use it in the modals. Have in mind that you can have multiple form styles as you can read here. Do not hesitate to open a ticket in our Support Forum if you need further help. We will also add a related article on our Knowledge Base asap.
Best Regards.
Hey guys is there any way to link from a portfolio image to a page? instead of another portfolio page? cheers guys cool theme many options..
Hey sipdesign,
Thanks for using Blade and you find it cool
Sure, you can have this in the portfolio. Firstly, in the portfolio item set the link you need in the Portfolio Link Options area. Then, in the Portfolio element select the Custom Link in the Link Type drop-down option.
Hope this is helpful.
Best Regards.
P.S. We would greatly appreciate if you use our Support Forum for any kind of support you need instead of the public comments.We’d be glad to help you there.
Hi Guys,
Question regarding Mega Menu – can I use background images? If not then it would be amazing if you could consider some time And Icons too.
Just love your work – easy to use, super powerful – a credit to your hard work!
Hi websitedude1985,
Thanks for using Blade and for your feedback! About the menu, be sure that we have future plans. To be honest, we had already noticed these options on our todo list. We just need some time to note down our customers’ requests before we start working on new features.
Thanks for your kind words. We are really glad you love Blade!
Best Regards.
Awesome! And if I could just say one more thing…. Authors, if ever you needed an example of how to create a fantastic documentation guide, then read Blades!
Having bought so many items – never before have I found such an excellent guide and explanation to the product and its’ features. It is almost as good as the theme itself – Well done Greatives!!
Thanks again for your comment websitedude1985
Hi there, Awesome looking theme, well done! We are thinking of using this theme for an existing established website that works as a Directory. Thinking we could use the portfolio for each listing we have in our directory but we have a large number of categories. Would it be possible to create multiple portfolio categories so that when you click on a portfolio thumbnail that would link to its relevant category which then show you more portfolio sub-categories and so forth but then link back to each relevant category? I noticed when you go into a single page portfolio it does not have a BACK TO PORTFOLIO button? SO not sure my request in full is achievable. Hope this makes sense? Cheers Matt
Also can you have a title and category showing over the portfolio thumbnail image with a slight transparent filter before hover over? And then when you hover over the portfolio thumbnail the filter, title and category fades to reveal the image more? On our current website we use the grid builder in Visual Composer to create this effect and to connect and link our directory etc. We find this very time consuming to build and the loading times to reveal each directory category is very slow. So we hope using a different method could help speed time as well as UI and UX. Again hope this makes sense. Please see here: http://noosasurfing.com/surf-directory/ to get an idea.
Hello intohype and thanks for your comment. We are glad you like Blade
Thank you also for your rather detailed points where you reveal many of your plans about what exactly you are going to need for your new directory site. As what you need seems to be out of the range of Blade theme, at least at this moment. Your design is not so complicated, however, we assume that you will need to modify (outsourcing work) any theme you finally select.
Thnx again for your interest!
Best Regards.
Is it possible to customize the home with 3 columns: blog posts, rss feed, and portfolio preview?
Hey Mina789,
Thanks for your interest
I’m not sure I fully understand your design, however, there is no restriction for the home page in Blade. You can add any elements you wish in the grid (columns) you prefer via the Page Builder.
Hope to join us soon.
Best Regards.
thank you a lot! best regards.
Cheers Mina789
Hello,
I am very interested in this theme, but before I buy it I would like to know if it is forum compatible, let’s say with BBPress. Again, the theme looks amazing and if the forum capability is good I will definitely get it!
Kind regards,
Hey rvanwaas,
We are glad you like Blade so much
I believe that from the functional point of view, you will have no issues with the bbPress plugin. However, at this moment Blade does not provide CSS support for this plugin but we have plans to add it in a future release. Have in mind that in Osmosis theme, we already provide support for the bbPress plugin.
We look forward to having you on board!
Best Regards.
That sounds awesome, thanks so much for the fast reply. Haven’t seen Osmosis yet, in what major points does it differ from blade?
Thanks in advance
Blade has more powerful framework than Osmosis. It is our new theme which is based on Osmosis, but it comes with more options. However, it does not mean that Osmosis is not one of the most powerful themes on the marketplace. As you can easily understand, it is quite difficult for us to compare our two favorite themes
Best Regards.
Hmm but the integration of BBPress has no issues then? Really love the smoothness of Blade.
OK! As I wrote before, the Osmosis has been tested with the bbPress and we are going to integrate it in Blade as well but without being able to estimate the time. It ’s up to you. Be sure that both are high-quality themes
Regards.
