Hello Wyde, recently i notice that some of my page have a little issue that i’m sure are my making, it’s related to the VELA masks. As you can see here : https://www.brockwayproduction.fr/tarifs/ On the top of the page i have some blank white where on other page i have the correct behavior (all grey): https://www.brockwayproduction.fr/en/pricing/
Can you put some light on what i’m doing wrong ? because i dont find any difference in the mask settings on my first VC row.
Cheers.
Hello,
The blank white is in the title area section so you should change the color of a mask to grey (#f5f5f5) for your title area in Title Options of this page.
Cheers.
My titles options are on “default” option in both pages, why one should have differents option to match others ?
It’s not a bit weird or confusing ?
OK, I got it!
The first section of the Pricing page has a white background so your mask works fine since the title area section also has a white mask. But the first section of the Tarifs page has a grey background so it doesn’t seem to work when it places at the bottom of a white mask from title area.
So you should change the background color of the first section of the Tarifs page by editing this page to edit the first row and change Background Color option from Dark to Light.
indeed it work like a charm ! Thanks.
You’re welcome 
Hey Wylde, this Vela theme is great, have got 2 questions 1. How to make up 2 coloms of text, like for the opening times and a few pixel ahead the times? 2. How to reduce the amount of space between the pages on a ‘Onepager’ 3. is it possible to delete the title on the top of a post? Already tried title remover plug-in.
Kind Regards.
Danny
Hi,
1. You need to add the custom HTML to create your 2 columns text. Add a Text Block element to the page. In the text editor, switch from Visual mode to Text mode and insert the code below into the text area:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 text-right">Label 1:</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">Text 1</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4 text-right">Label 2:</div>
<div class="col-sm-8">Text 2</div>
</div>
Please note: You should add the code in Text mode only, it won’t work when you add it in Visual mode. Also, it won’t display as 2 columns in the text editor preview mode but it will work when you preview on your live website.
2. Edit the row and change the Padding Size option. Also, you can change this option to “No Padding” and set your custom padding size in Design Options tab instead.
3. If you’re talking about the title of a post in the blog single post (post detail page), you can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
.single .post-title{
display:none;
}
</style>
can you please tell me how to remove the page loader form the theme or override it with my own image?
You can replace the page loader with your own image by adding the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
#preloader{
background:url('https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png') no-repeat center center;
}
#loading-animation{
display:none;
}
</style>
Hi,
I’d like to be able to make the Vela Team Member slider display the additional text overlay when clicking on a team member photo. They don’t have need for the social links and direct contact buttons, and right now the overlay feels like it should be clicking to something. Also I feel like the “More” link is getting lost. Let me know what files I need to edit if you would! I couldn’t find it in the Plugins Editor. I imagine I may need to make JS tweaks to display the overlay on click. Maybe if you could tell me the function that displays the overlay, I could inject some jQuery into the theme footer.
Here’s a reference link: http://www.queenscountyprobate.com/#our-attorneys
Thanks!
Hi,
If you’d like we can provide the code for creating the text overlay on a team member photo, please follow the steps below to edit the team member slider:
1. Edit the team member slider shortcode template in “shortcodes/templates/team_slider.php”.
2. Replace the whole code in this file with the new one below:
<?php
$atts = vc_map_get_attributes( $this->getShortcode(), $atts );
extract( $atts );
$attrs = array();
$classes = array();
$classes[] = 'team-slider';
if( !empty($el_class) ){
$classes[] = $el_class;
}
$attrs['class'] = implode(' ', $classes);
if($animation) $attrs['data-animation'] = $animation;
if($animation_delay) $attrs['data-animation-delay'] = floatval( $animation_delay );
$slider_attrs = array();
$slider_attrs['class'] = 'owl-carousel';
$slider_attrs['data-items'] = intval( $visible_items );
$slider_attrs['data-auto-play'] = ($auto_play =='true' ? 'true':'false');
$slider_attrs['data-navigation'] = ($show_navigation =='true' ? 'true':'false');
$slider_attrs['data-pagination'] = ($show_pagination =='true' ? 'true':'false');
if ( $count != '' && ! is_numeric( $count ) ) $count = - 1;
list( $query_args, $loop ) = vc_build_loop_query( $posts_query );
$query_args['post_type'] = 'team-member';
$query_args['posts_per_page'] = intval( $count );
$query_args['has_password'] = false;
$blog_posts = new WP_Query( $query_args );
$image_size = 'medium';
if( intval( $visible_items ) < 3) $image_size = 'large';
?>
<div echo="" wyde_get_attributes="">>
<?php if( $title || $content): ?>
<div class="content-header">
<?php if( !empty($title) ): ?>
<h2><?php echo esc_html( $title );?></h2>
<?php endif;?>
<?php if( !empty($content) ): ?>
<div class="post-desc"><?php echo wpb_js_remove_wpautop($content, true);?></div>
<?php endif;?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div echo="" wyde_get_attributes="">>
<?php while ($blog_posts->have_posts() ) : $blog_posts->the_post(); ?>
<div class="team-member">
<div class="member-image">
<span>
<?php
$image = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_meta_member_image', true);
if($image){
$image_id = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_meta_member_image_id', true);
$image_attr = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, $image_size);
if($image_attr[0]) $image = $image_attr[0];
}
if($image){
echo sprintf('<img src="%s" alt="%s" />', esc_url( $image ), esc_attr( get_the_title() ));
}
?>
</span>
</div>
<div class="member-detail">
<h4><?php echo esc_html( get_the_title() ); ?></h4>
<p class="member-meta"><?php echo esc_html( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_meta_member_position', true ) ); ?></p>
<div class="member-content">
<?php echo wyde_get_the_excerpt(130, '<a href="#">'. __('More', 'Vela') .'</a>'); ?>
</div>
<div class="member-full-content" style="display: none;">
<?php echo get_the_content();?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile;?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
</div>
3. Add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
.team-slider .team-member:hover img {
opacity: 0.4;
}
.team-slider .team-member .member-detail h4{
color:#fff;
}
.team-slider .team-member .member-detail{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
color:#fff;
background: none;
border: none;
-webkit-transform:translateY(100%);
transform:translateY(100%);
-webkit-transition:all 0.3s;
transition:all 0.3s;
}
.team-slider .team-member:hover .member-detail{
-webkit-transform:translateY(0);
transform:translateY(0);
}
</style>
Hope this helps!
Hi, I’m having trouble getting portfolio items to show up on the one page business template. I installed the demo content and nothing showed up. Now, as I’m going through and customizing and adding my own content and such, I’m still not seeing anything show up for portfolio items. www.hi-defcoatings.com
Hi,
Seems like it’s working now!
When you import the demo content, the portfolio images won’t be imported, you should add the featured images so they will appear in your portfolio grid. Navigate to Portfolio section, edit your portfolio and set the featured image.
Yes, I did get that working. But I’m having other problems with the portfolio. The sorting feature seems to only sort what’s visible right then, which kind of makes it pointless. Additionally, I can’t seem to change anything that’s visible when the portfolio image is clicked. Ideally, I’d like it to just open the image full size rather than go to another page, if possible. But right now I make changes within that portfolio item and nothing is reflected. The one I’ve made changes to is http://www.hi-defcoatings.com/patterns/kryptek-neptune/
1. We will look into this sorting feature to improve it in our next update.
2. This theme has no option to open the full size of image when you click on portfolio item, it will only go to the portfolio detail page as you see on our demo site -> http://wydethemes.com/vela1/masonry-full-width/.
3. I just clicked on your link but it brings me to the blog page. I suppose this is a permalink caching issue, if you’ve changed the Portfolio Slug option in Theme Options -> Portfolio but it won’t work, you should clear the permalink settings by navigating to Settings -> Permalinks on your admin menu, in Common Settings section choose Post name and save changes.
This is the second time asking this question. The first time received no response, Could you please tell me how to remove the grey background when you hover a page title behind the header menu?
Hi,
Sorry for our late reply!
You can remove the hover color of menu items in the header by adding the code below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
.nav > ul > li:hover > a,
.nav > ul > li.active > a,
.header .menu-cart:hover > a,
.header #search:hover{
background:none;
}
</style>
I am trying to install the demo content and I have gone through the steps on the documentation, several times to make sure I did it right, and it just spins and spins on the last two things it’s trying to import.
I don’t get any messages or anything, it’s just spinning.
Sounds like there is an error while importing sliders, make sure you’ve ZipArchive extension ( http://php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php ) installed and enabled on your host since the Revolution Slider importer requires ZipArchive class for importing sliders.

Hi, i’ve just updated my theme using the envato toolkit and i can no longer access the site.
It’s giving me an error message “Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_target_param_list() in /home4/caroleh1/public_html/jamesedwardmarketing.com/wp-content/themes/Vela/shortcodes/class-shortcodes.php on line 2054”
See screenshot also – https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B05AU_wZtppoVTFSMDczS3ctNjA/view?usp=sharing
Please help!!
Hi,
Please update the Visual Composer plugin to the latest update to fix this issue.
After you update the theme, if there is an update available for the included plugins, you will see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version and need to be updated. If the notification message was dismissed, navigate to Appearance > Install Plugins to see the recommended plugins list.
If you couldn’t update this plugin, please delete it and install it from the link in a notification message.
Thank you for your quick reply, however that doesn’t help me. I cannot access the backend of my site or dashboard at all. I just get that error message in my previous post when i try and access any page on my site. I can’t even login. I only have access to cPanel via my server so is there another way?
Sorry, if you can’t access your dashboard, you should delete the vela theme folder via cPanel File Manager. After delete the theme folder you can access your dashboard to delete Visual Composer from your site.
Awesome, that fixed it. Thank you.
Hi,
Is there any way I can show image captions in the portfolio pages and/or in the Lightbox?
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry but you can display only portfolio title on the portfolio page, there is no option for adding an image captions so it can’t display image captions on the portfolio page and in the lightbox.
Also, in this theme the title of lightbox has been removed by default.
I’m having an issue where my header doesn’t completely overlap my slider on the home page. There is a white gap about halfway through the header so my video doesn’t start at the top of the page, which is what I’m trying to accomplish. Probably just missing a setting toggle. My site is based on your portfolio demo. http://www.christofergoodwin.com/
Happy holidays
Hi,
Seems like it’s working right now since I see your video can start at the top of the page.
This is true, I had to switch to the one page option to achieve what I wanted, while that option is not checked I still have a gap at the top. I would like the ability to choose if I don’t want to use the one page option. Thought this might have been a common question, I have changed it back for the time being so you can see what I’m talking about
Sorry but default page template that you’re currently using for your home page will have a gap at the top since this template use for creating a blog page and blog post, when you create a page please don’t forget to change the template to “Full Width”, see the image below:
Also, when you switch to One Page website you won’t see a gap since the One Page will use Full Width template instead.
Knew it was easy, thanks now!

Hi, Where will i be able to adjust the testimonial timing? I will like it to stay longer before it transit to other testimonial
Hi,
Sorry but it has no option to change the slider speed, we will look into this to add this option in the future.
I have my programmer to assist. Will just like to know where and which file to look into too. We can hardcode. Can you help?
Hi,
The Testimonials Slider is a FlexSlider, you can edit the code in “Vela/js/page.js”. Find a function named “initSlider”, you will see the code below:
var options = {
prevText: "",
...
...
}
Insert the code below into the options above:
slideshowSpeed: 7000, //Integer: Set the speed of the slideshow cycling, in milliseconds animationSpeed: 600, //Integer: Set the speed of animations, in milliseconds
Also, you can change the speed in the code if you’d like.
See more options here -> https://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/#gist9481310
Hi, This help a lot. Thanks!
You’re welcome 
Hello Wyde, recently i create category for my testimonials.
But i have been unable to display only one category of testimonials, everytime it display all testimonials of all categories. Can you explain me what i miss ?
Cheers.
Hello,
1. Edit your Testimonials Slider. 2. In the Vela:Testimonials Slider Setting window, click on Build query button in the Custom Posts section. 3. Add a category name into Taxonomies field. 4. Save changes.
Cheers.
Ok then i think i spot a bug, because i already do exactly that before asking ou for help.
Did you want to check it ?
Sorry, but we tried it on Vela theme before answering your question and it works fine.
However, if you’ve WPML plugin installed on your website, it wouldn’t work when using category filter in Custom Posts section, we suppose this is a bug with Custom Query field from Visual Composer plugin since we’ve seen this issue when using category filter in portfolio on the site that installed WPML plugin.
I use polylang actually. How do i fix that then ?
Hello,
We just tried polylang with this theme and we can display the testimonials for each language correctly, try these:
1. You should translate your testimonial posts and testimonial categories as well. For instance, if you display them in French page, you should translate your testimonials to French too. 2. When you edit the testimonial posts in French, you should choose a category that's in French. 3. When you edit the Testimonials Slider on a French page, you should add a French category to the Taxonomies field in Custom Posts option.
Also, after we updated both Visual Composer and WPML to the latest update, it works like a charm! Our website can display the testimonials and portfolio posts on translated pages properly even we use the category filter in the Custom Posts option.
Cheers.
Hi Wyde,
I think my problem is not multilanguage related because :
1- My main language is french, and so all testimonials are in french and the page i try to modify is french too.
2- in english page i see no testimonial (that is the correct behavior since i dont translate them yet)
3- whenever category i set in the testimonials options, it always display all testimonials of the language of the page. (i currently have 2 “web design” and “hebergement”)
Cheers.
FYI, if the Taxonomies field in Custom Posts option doesn’t work, you can add the title of testimonial posts into the “Individual Posts/Pages/Custom Post Types” field to display them in this slider.
I Will see of it is working for me. Buy anyway that you cant look why categories are not working for me ? Cheers.
Btw it dont work for testimonials, only post or pages are availables for “Individual Posts/Pages/Custom Post Types”...
Also i dont know if it’s a bug or something, but a report it several times and it’s still not fix, but when you make a “list” you have an automatic back to line after that, and it’s impossible to edit your ex to remove it. So you have empty space that you can never fill or remove…
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2u4r0esi5td2ve0/Capture%20d%27%C3%A9cran%202015-12-23%2016.40.20.png?dl=0The “Individual Posts/Pages/Custom Post Types” field doesn’t support the testimonials in current update, it will work in the next update.
For a list issue, it should have the space at the bottom to separate the list from other text so we’ve added the margin to the bottom of the list by default.
However, if you’d like to remove the empty space at the bottom of the list, you can add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
dl, ul, ol{
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
</style>
Hi,
I have assigned a row id to a row, but the site doesn’t go there when I click a link to the row.
Hi,
We’re sorry, there is a bug with the row ID in our recent update, this issue will be fixed in our next update that will be available in a few days.
Hello, how can I change the main image in the home page and also the name of it? sorry but i can’t do it.
Hello,
The image and title are in the slider, you can edit this slider in Revolution Slider section, see more on how to work with this plugin here -> http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-revolution-documentation/
Hello— We purchased Vela to use on one of our development websites—long story short we had a lot of troubles due to an external developer’s set of errors, so we then purchased it for a second development site to start over. What we noticed is that on the first site we were able to use the Visual Composer in the portfolio pages… but on the new site we are not able to. How do we fix this? It was a great feature to have and was a key to our website design!
Best regards—
Hello,
By default, the Visual Composer will only appear when you edit the page, it won’t on blog post and portfolio post. If you’d like to use this plugin with your portfolio post. You should enable it in Visual Composer -> Role Manager, in Post types option choose Custom and select portfolio option to enable it, see more on how to setup Role Manager here -> https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Visual+Composer+Settings#VisualComposerSettings-RoleManager
Hi there, I bought Vela a couple of weeks ago, I have 2 questions: 1. How do I create an Anchor book mark to a section to my page, for example, how do I make mydomain.com/#contact_us to go to the contact us section on that page, where do I add the anchor and is ti css or html? 2. from VC within row I turn parallax on for it with an image background but it does not do the parallax effect, any idea what OI may be doing wrong?
thank you
Hi there,
1. You can create an anchor manually by editing the row and set any ID to the Row ID field in the Row Settings window so it will be added as an anchor to this section. Unfortunately, there is a bug with the section ID in the recent update of this theme, this issue will be resolved in our next update that will be release within a week.
However, this theme comes with One Page feature that allows you to create a One Page site with just a click. When you turn on One Page Website option in Theme Options -> Page -> Page Options, your front page will add an anchor to each section and set the link to this section in your primary menu automatically, see our demo One Page site -> http://wydethemes.com/vela3/
2. Parallax background will work on a Full Width page only, make sure you’ve set the Full Width as your page template, see the image below:
Please note: this parallax feature won’t work on single blog page (blog detail page) and single portfolio page (portfolio detail page).
Please clarify, I created a page from scratch using some VC elements and Vela elements, If I need to anchor a section, I have to edit the row and add row ID? Do I add ”#” before the row ID, or just name the row ID? Example: If I create the row ID for the contact section, do I call it “contact” or ”#contact” or do I need to add a full URL in the ID? and when you fix the bug in the next update, if I go to mysite.com/#contact, will it go straight to that section (Row)? 2. My page is in full width and I followed your documentation and the VC video, it still does not work as it should, do you have any detailed example I can follow?
Thank you for your replies.
1. Just the name of row without #. If you’d like to create a contact section, you can add contact to the row ID and when you go to yoursite.com/#contact your page will scroll to the contact section automatically.
2. The parallax feature is working fine on our demo sites. It’s might because there is a plugin conflict, if you’ve other plugins installed on your website, try to deactivate them one by one until you find the problematic plugin.
If it still doesn’t work, please send us your site URL in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so our support can investigate this issue on your website.
Thank you for your reply, I hope you fix the anchor bug soon and I will deactivate the plugins one by one for parallax, however, I only have 3 basic wordpress plugins, I will keep you updated with the support link.
Thank you for your patience! We will release this update ASAP!
No worries, I have about 10 days to finish the page. I did disable all plugins and I do not have any other theme installed, the only plugins I kept active are the ones you recommended in the docs. Parallax does not work at all, I am doing as follows: from wp edit page, it’s full width, then from VC I make the row full width and then enable parallax, then in the design tab I add the background image I need to parallax, am I doing it wrong? Also, another issues just came up. a single image can not be a circle in VC, If I add single image then make it round or 3d background it works fine, however, when I make it circle or circle with border it disappear completely from desktop and it causes the entire page on a mobile view to be blank. When I remove the row with the single circle image, everything on desktop and mobile works again. Any advice? or is this a bug too? if so, can you check and fix it with the new update? All plugins are still de-activated except your core plugins.
Your steps to create a parallax background are correct. We’re not sure why it still doesn’t work, If you’d like you can 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.
For the single image issue, there is an issue with some border styles of single image since there are some functions and some options of this element in the new update of Visual Composer have been changed. We will fix it ASAP! Thank you for reporting this issue.
Any news on the new release that will fix the #Anchor issue? I need it to work within the next 48 hours, thank you
Hi,
We will release a new update in a few hours.
Hi,
Vela 1.8.1 is now available! The anchor issue has been fixed in this update.
Anchor works great, thank you, I will re-visit the parallax issue shortly after I get approved for this job.
Why do my H1, H2 and H3 tags render as all-caps when I spell it out in small caps? It’s there a way to turn off the All-caps?
The text style of these headings have been set to uppercase by default. You can turn off these styles by adding the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
h1,h2,h3{
text-transform: none;
}
</style>
