can you tell me where to set the date format to the “ago” format …

Hi

1. You need to install “Meks Time Ago” plugin

2. You need to go to Settings / General and look for “Meks Time Ago Options”

Please let me know if this helps

Hi! Does this theme support a YouTube video gallery. I was looking for something to display my entire Youtube channel. Any recommendations?

Hi,

Not sure what exactly you want to achieve but basically, you can just embed your YouTube channel anywhere on the site. For example create a blank page with the embed code or use our text module.

There are also many plugins for more advanced approach which will work with our theme out of the box.Take a look at this list: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/best-wordpress-youtube-gallery-plugins/

Cheers

I have 2 suggestions.. 1.) On 1024X768 resolution, Please include sidebar as well. RIght now sidebar goes at the bottom below the posts. Many people still use that resolution..and normal standard view would be better. 2.) Please add breadcrumbs support on priority basis..

Hi

1) OK, I will talk with rest of our team about this but regarding our statistics there are less people that are using this resolution…we have made case study before we have made this design but since a lot of people asked us about this we will consider to add this as option.

2) It is on our update list, right now we are working on review engine implementation and if we don’t manage to add this in next update it will be added in update after this one.

Please let me know if this helps

Cheers from your Meks Team

which multi page plugin are you using in herald …

is there a way to close it down …

i may want to use another one …

thanx

Hi

This is default WordPress functionality, I think that you can overwrite it with some other plugin without any problem.

Please let me know if this helps

Thank you

i’ve tested 3 other plugins and not one overrides the default …

Hi,

Please open a support ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact and we will see how we can help.

Cheers!

Hello I am looking for a theme which can be easily built a website looking similar to filehippo.com with some creativity added (not just copy). I am familiar with wordpress but I do prefer that I leave the job to PROs who know alot more than me. So if it’s possible to create a custom page layout which looks similar to the mentioned website above, plus some features like multi language. also for mac-windows-mobile parts as well If you can build such a layout that can be easily used please let me know here or by email I’ll talk about all features I need if you are interested, filefoxer.com@gmail.com

ps: i don’t want to go around freelancer and similar sites to find someone. Regards

Hi

Basically our theme can do this but like always, possibilities regarding some specific features will need some additional customization. We can also provide you with this type of service so I would like to ask you to submit ticket to http://mekshq.com/contact/ with some more details and we will try to help you out.

Thank you

Please let me know your issue here as well so we can try to help faster.

Cheers!

Hi,

Is there option to set background color for each post?

Thanks,

Hi,

Interesting idea. Not at the moment but we may consider adding such a possibility in the next updates if more users ask for the same thing. Also, if there are only several posts where you want to change background, it can be easily done with couple of additional CSS lines.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

I’ve purchased this theme because it supports RTL

But there are a lot of problems in this feature

I don’t know what should I do now ?

Hi

I have checked your problem few minutes ago and everything seems to be working fine. Can you please send us your website URL so I can take a closer look at your problem?

This is not bad idea I will add it to our Ideas list and I will discuss it with rest of the team. You can always change this via additional CSS filed ;)

Please let me know if this helps

Thank you

Thanks for reply

I’m using localhost but this is a screenshot for the problem

Hi

We have fixed this problem and it is waiting to be pushed live in our next update.If you want you can contact us via http://mekshq.com/contact/ and we will send you CSS with fixes, if not you can wait for update that should be live by monday.

I hope that this helps

Cheers

Hello , you can see the complete layout at 1024×768 in the next update ?

Main content is 990px wide so there is no space for sidebar in 1024 resolution, this is a tablet resolution and we think it’s natural. The sidebars is not hidden, it just goes below the main content.

If you need some help, please open a support ticket via http://mekshq.com/content and we would be glad to have a look and see what can we do in your specific case.

Cheers!

I have ads in the sidebar, and stay below does not help much. Other people are also asking the same as me. I hope you rethink about it, thank you for your attention.

Hi,

Yes, we did it exactly because of ads. Sidebar needs to keep the 300px width which means that on lower resolution we will have only 600px remaining for the rest of the content which is too small. That’s why we have left sidebar and content untouched, sidebar just goes below the content.

Please let me know what idea do you have?

Hi, I have few questions: 1. How can I change share links to buttons and align it to the right of the posts? 2. Can i make auto slide on different category Posts? 3. We need posts offset options for the categories, If not included do you anticipate to include next updates?

Love your theme and thanks

Hi and thanks for your kind words!

1. This is not possible without additional work on the theme files. You can submit theme customization request if you want us to tweak the theme specifically for your needs. At the moment, I can suggest you to disable our share buttons and install one of many WordPress free plugins for sharing which looks more appealing to your personal taste.

2. Not sure I understand this question. Can you give us an example?

3. This one as well in not clear enough to me. Can you please explain in more details?

Cheers :)

1. Good suggestion and thank you 2. I mean making posts of Herald Modules as post carousel or post slider. 3. This question is a feature option that allow to exclude some posts from category you want and its included most themes…... http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-exclude-latest-post-from-the-wordpress-post-loop/ Cheers

2. This is definitely an option which we will add in some of the next updates. I cannot promise when exactly but it is on our “to do” list already.

3. Hm… I understand now. Can you please give me an example, I mean real-case example where and why would you like to exclude latest posts on some category?

Cheers

May i ask if you plan to implement normal comments+ fb comments + google comments. Most new magazine platforms do that now days. Except from that i love your theme

Hi,

Not at all, this is rather a “plugin territory” feature. Take a look at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gplus-comments/

It’s free and it does what you want, and it works with our theme or any other theme you may use :)

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

Not sure if this was mentioned already. Anytime a list or image is used, there should be a gap to the next title or line.

I’m having to go back to my posts and add a   for space. I think a global gap would make more sense?

I think you are right, we will definitely check this and put it in the next update very soon ;)

Perfect. Just so you’re aware, as I don’t want to be adding extra space then an update gaps it even more.

OK, no problem we will fix this and you will have this live on your site really soon.

Thank you

Hi there, Have installed the theme and uploaded the default theme data and also imported my own blogs posts but the top part of the page looks empty. here is the site. Please help.

Hi

No worries our support will take a look.

Thank you for your patience

Hi, any update on this?

Hi,

Please understand that some request may need more time to be investigated and resolved. I’m pretty sure that help is on it’s way ;)

Please point me out here to a specific problem and send me an example so I can take a look, ok?

how can i do a welcome with video welcome area as in throne …

is it possible with herald …

Hi

Yes it is possible, you need to go to Add/Edit page and choose modules template, then pick to add Text Module. You can paste any shortcode or embeded code into textfiled and create your Welcome Video home section.

Please let me know if this helps

yes that’s the ticket …

thanx

You are welcome ;)

Hey meks!

I really love your “Voice” Theme and now I’m very interested in purchasing Herald too. But I have one question before:

The trending posts section on the top under the menu looks very cool and interesting. I think at the moment it is possible to choose here from “Latest posts”, “Most commented posts” and “Most viewed posts”, right? For me it would be very important to have more control here. An option like “Latest posts from category xxx” would be fantastic and exaclty what I want for this trending post section.

Do you think this will come in a future update? And if not: Do you think a coder can realise this without too much effort?

With the “Latest posts from category xxx” option I would buy immediately ;-)

Thanks! Mark

Hi Mark,

Sure, we understand that it may not be perfect for some people to have that much website width. But, due to our design grid, the theme would be much less flexible and we would need to cut 1/3 of layouts if we have decided to reduce the width. So we need to make some decisions and decided to go with wider site with more flexibility in layouts.

Hope that this makes sense :)

Thanks for your answer – and yes, that makes sense :) As I said, it is just my personal taste that i would prefer a total width of 1.200 and not 1.400 pixel.

But there is one thing I really do not understand – and unfortunately thats a deal breaker for me at the moment:

With a browser width of 770 pixels, Herald jumps directly into the “mobile design”. Here Herald just uses a width of 370 pixels. That means 400 pixels are simply wasted. Why? It is the same if I turn my smartphone horizontally to have more width on the display. Herald just uses 50% of the possible display width here. That does not look very professionell.

I think Herald has 4 different responsive layouts for different browser widths. Isn’t it possible to make 5? To use the space in this area around 700 pixels better?

Kind regards and thanks for your time! Mark

Believe us or not, we have tried that :)

The problem is that there is no way to display all the layouts we offer properly in 500px/600px width. Some of layouts really become pointless in that resolution. That’s why we have decided to fallback to mobile 300px resolution earlier as all layouts look good in that case, it’s far more safe and looks more professional.

However, this can be easily tweaked for any specific case. We also offer customization work to all our theme users so if you decide to purchase the theme you can submit customization request afterwards and we can tweak the theme specifically to your needs and personal taste.

Cheers!

Hello again, I’m awaiting your updates for correction on home page blocks that for some reason broken the layout… Also many of our users reports that could not find the search function on smaller screens or older screens with smaller resolution etc. this is very big issue and should be fixed please.

Please update me on mail with those corrections as soon is possible, our site is live with lots traffic..

Kindly respond.

Thank you

Hi

Can you send us support ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact with your website URL and we will try to help you out, probably it is only small glitch.

Thank you for your understanding

Hi, The title of the home page shows as “Herald Home”, I want to remove “Herald”. Where is the setting for it?

Hi

You can do this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard/ Settings/ General.

Please let me know if this helps

Thanks

Hey, Just figured out. I have loaded a sample data. It was there in the title of a page called “home”

Oh, cool ;)

Please let us know if you have some more questions

Cheers

Hi, I have a question,

1) is it possible to Change the “Place of Paginated Post’s next and Preve Arrows” , instead of on the left top of the image, I would like to have them in Right Bottom of image of the Paginated Post.(left bottom will work as well) Refer to http://demo.mekshq.com/herald/?p=136&page=2 ,

2) One thing more, Can I replace the Arrows with NEXT and PREV text? (I’m am planning to buy this theme) Thanks.

Hi

1) It is not possible to do this from theme options, you will need to customize theme in order to have this. We can offer you customization services and modify this for you.

2) You can do this also with small customization of theme.

Please let me know if you have more questions

Thanks

Hi, I recently purchased Herald. This is for a magazine and we often have posts authored by multiple writers. For this we need to use co-author plugin which requires some tags to added to the theme. Would you be able to help us do that?

Multiple authors for one post is a key functionality for our site. What tweaking does the theme require to support this? Associating multiple authors to a post, we have already achieved through a plugin. however unless the theme is tweaked, they will not get displayed. Request a prompt response.

Hi

Yes we can help you with this, we just need to see what exactly do you need. Can you please send support ticket to us via http://mekshq.com/contact/ and we will try to help you out.

Thank you
