Hi,

Really amazing work. Very pretty and so simple to edit!

A quick question: how do I remove the fly in effect when I scroll down the page for the first time? I would like to remove it globally for all the sections.

Thanks!

Sorry bug you again, I actually have one more question: in my overview section, it says the limit is 20 chapters. Also, it doesn’t show the default “Read More” after 4 chapters. Any idea how I can fix both? That is, adding the Read more button and having more than 20 chapters.

Thanks again. As everyone else already said, it is really a great product. I can’t remember when was the last time I bought something and felt so happy about my purchase.

Never mind about how to increase the number of chapters to > 20. I found that option in acf_custom. I just need to know how have the Read More button show up after 4 chapters.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your kind words, it’s always a pleasure to receive such satisfied appreciations from my buyers! :)

Unfortunately the new version of the theme doesn’t feature that javascript based “Load More” toggle button in the overviews section like it appeared in the original one.. :(

If you really need this feature, please contact me in email , send me your site link and admin login details, and i will see if there’s anything i can do! Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik, You receive my E-Mails? The theme still doesn´t work… You already have some idea whats the problem? Would be great if i could use the theme in the next days…Thanks

Hi, just replied to your email. Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the great theme. For demo 1 layout, how do you add a full width BG image to the slider. This would be the blurry image you are showing in the demo. I don’t see an option to add a background image that the main slider image sits on top of.

Thanks!

Ah I found it. Under Theme > Layout > Home Header. Thx for a great theme!

Hi, thanks for your purchase, glad you like it this much! :)

Great to hear that you have already found it, please let me know if you need any further assistance, while customizing your website. Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik! Was hoping you could help. I need to add a “clickbank trust” banner on the homepage of my site because of Clickbanks new requirements for selling CB products must have this so customers know the product is verified. I hired someone to implement it for me, but he said that the banner is not appearing and that the theme may be striping it. The banner code is javascript. This is the script: <!- ClickBank Trust Badge -> <script src=’//cbtb.clickbank.net/?vendor=ponypits’></script>

Do you have any ideas as to what might be happening?

Thanks!

My site is www.thegratitudeworkbook.com

Hello, amazing site – good job! ;)

The official clickbank docs says that your custom script needs to be inserted just above the closing head tag of your site.

Assuming, the most easy way to insert it, is editing the header.php file manually: just replace the content of line 17 with this:
<?php wp_head(); ?><script src="//cbtb.clickbank.net/?vendor=ponypits"></script>

No guarantees, i haven’t tested it yet, so let me know how it worked out. Cheers, Erik

Thanks Erik, but no luck. I replaced the script in the correct place. Any other ideas?

Can you send me over the site link where you were trying to insert it without luck? Also please specify what / or what not / happens when you insert the given code? Cheers, Erik

Dear Erik My Recent Posts widget does not show any of the posts I made. It only shows the themes default posts. Any idea? Thanks Tomo

Hi Tomo, thanks for your purchase! If you send me over your wordpress admin login details in email, i will check it to see what’s happening there. Cheers, Erik

Hello again, And also appears a advice that search engines cannot index my page… why and maybe it´s a problem of my theme…

Hello, please check this article on how to index a new wordpress site – certainly it’s not a theme issue – it has nothing to do with SEO settings. Cheers, Erik

Hello,

After some intents of install the flat theme in Wordpress i surrender.

I follow all steps of the Flat Book Documentation Site, but the theme does´t install the plugins and doesn´t install the pages. And always appears a actualization advice of a plugin …

Maybe is a problem of the newest Wordpress update?

Hello, thanks for your purchase!

Please send me over your WordPress admin login details and your site link in email , i need to check your backend before i could say anything more.

Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik. When I post the URL of my site to Facebook, I am having a problem setting the image which Facebook picks up. This would normally be specified in the <head> tags, but adding the necessary lines in header.php has no effect. How do I specify this? (note: there is another thread in this forum with the same problem, however you emailed them the solution and I cannot see it. I have emailed you the details.)

Hi Terence, just replied to your email.

For those, who facing the same issue: install SEO by Yoast plugin to your site, it will render a Facebook Image input field to the editor of each page in the admin.

Cheers, Erik

Hi, I purchased the Flatbook theme a few months ago, but am only now getting around to installing it. Are you aware of any issues with it under WordPress 4.4.1? The post/page editor seems broken. I am unable to switch between Visual and Text input modes (also the textbox is much less than the page width), plus the content areas below the main section in the editor will not accept any input.

I have tried reinstalling both WordPress and the Flatbook theme but this has not helped. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your purchase. The theme is compatible with WordPress 4.4, and as far as i know it’s not broken.

Can you send me over your admin login details in email to your site? I would check your backend to see what’s wrong and find a solution for it.

Cheers, Erik

Hi, I am trying to see a WP demo of this template but I only get default WP theme. Can you let me know where I can see a live demo and also is it possible to install the theme with sample data for easier start? Thanks Tomo

Hi Tomo, we currently have a minor technical issue with the webhost (where the theme demos are located) so indeed it doesn’t display as usual now – hopefully it will be fixed for tomorrow.

Until than, you can find the live preview of demo 1, what’s the initial demo of the theme. Thanks for your patience.

Cheers, Erik

Hello, how can I add a simple sidebar to e.g. my front page?

Not in plan yet, because FlatBook is basically a onepage layout with full width horizontal sections, so it would look strange with a sidebar.

In the other hand, i know that your site layout might be different after modifications, so if you really need that sidebar, please contact me in email and i will check your site to see if there’s anything i can do.

Cheers, Erik

ok, i understand. For now i used some div tags. here you can see it: http://flugbegleiter-werden.de/tipps-und-tricks-von-der-bewerbung-bis-zur-ausbildung/

Maybe I will come back to your help later :)

That looks great as it is, why you need me? ;) Anyway, text me if you need my help later than. Cheers, Erik

Hi Eric… I could not install Flatbook on two different wordpress sites.. Simply a notice “failed to write to disc” Have used many themes, and usually Genesis with a child them, never had that happen before! Is there an update or fix? Thanks Asa

Hi Asa, thanks for your purchase! It’s not a bug, more like something related to the permission settings of your webhost. Please check this forum threat, might be helpful. Cheers, Erik

Erik, I love the theme it is amazing. Just one quick question with the slider and images. The images that slide in from the right on the slider I have “bleeding” off the bottom when viewed on a desktop. Well when these are viewed on a mobile device the bottom of the images look like they are sliced at the bottom (you can see where the bottom of the image is)

(The website that that screen shot is uploaded to is another website, the screen shot is from the website with your theme)

Is there any code I can use to move up those text boxes on the mobile version so the bottom of the image touches the top of the image box?

Thanks in advance!!!

No problem, i’m happy to help if i can! ;)

Much appreciate your good will regarding the compensation, but you need to know that item support is a kind of bonus feature i provide to my buyers, free of charge (included in the item price).

Despite of this, if you still wish to buy me a beer, my paypal address is erno2222szabo@gmail.com :D Cheers, Erik

Money sent. That should cover a case+ of beer. Thanks again!!

Arrived, thanls so much! :) Let me know if you need further assistance in the future. Cheers, Erik

Love the theme, however…. Things that could use a little improvement. The text boxes on all content tabs should use the full html edit box. Currently at least the author section doesn’t so i cant make a multi-paragraph style entry in this section. The color overlay in the sample section doesn’t seem to work for me, any color i set in that section seems to be ignored. Thanks Chuck

Hi Chuck, thanks for your purchase!

The text boxes on all content tabs should use the full html edit box. Currently at least the author section doesn’t so i cant make a multi-paragraph style entry in this section.

In the Content tab of the author section, there’s a textarea called Description, where you can add plain html code.

The color overlay in the sample section doesn’t seem to work for me, any color i set in that section seems to be ignored.

So the samples section color overlay on sour site doesn’t render like mine in the theme demo?

Cheers, Erik

Well its been forever since I started this thread and i’ll understand if you don’t want to have anything more to do with it but i’ll try to explain things a little better since I’m finally getting back around to the project that this theme was purchased for.

I’m trying to do some customization of colors on various parts of the theme. I’m using the page builder and have added a “sample section”. I’ve uploaded a background image and set the background overlay color to #f0ff26 however this is NOT the color that gets overlaid on the image as I’d expect. It seems to be taking the color from customize/colors/global/primary color. I guess i’m just wondering what is the purpose of this overlay color field.

Another issu i’m seeing is some odd behavior in the theme customizer, specifically with that global/primary color. When i change that color it causes the separator icon color to change on the preview screen. This doesn’t effect the final output since the Header/Section Icon Color does get applied

Thanks Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Regarding the overlay color of the Samples Section, I guess this is a theme bug, will be fixed in the next update. Until than, you can recolor the overlay manually, with Css:

.tablet-reader:before {
    background-color: #f0ff26 !important;
    opacity: 0.7;
}

The wrong customizer preview is also a known theme bug, I would suggest to recolor these manually using Css, if the targeted element seems to inherit a wrong color value from other parts of the layout.

Cheers, Erik

I need to add an image popup (ie. Fancybox) to some section of the home page preferably the Chapter Overview. Is it possible to make the Chapter Overview image popup via Fancybox without heavy customization?

I’m afraid not, integrating lightboxes are usually a hard task as it requires many tests on different devices above the html and php code adjustments. :(

If you sure about that you need it, please send me over your site link and short function description about your imagined output via email and i will give you a quote for this customization.

Cheers, Erik

Hi. Thanks for the great Theme!

I came across a problem in the the sample section. I only want to show samples pages as an image. I know its possible as you said reducing the padding. As I am not a good coder I would be grateful if you could provide me a sample of this code and tell me where to put it.

Thank you very much

Hello, thanks for your purchase, glad you like it! :)

You only need to check the Cover Image checkbox below each sample item you would like to show only an image as mentioned in the samples section part of the documentation.

Happy customizing! Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik,

I’d like to change the spacing between the blog content and sidebar and add a vertical line in between. Where/how can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Hello, thanks for your purchase! Can you send me your site link and probably a screenshot image – in email – explaining your request visually? Cheers, Erik

Hey Erik, does this theme work on wordpress version 4.4 as well? If so, we can’t wait to use. Please let us know, thanks!!

Hello, sure it’s working with WordPress 4.4 either! :) Cheers, Erik

Loving this theme. It’s been really easy to customise and looks fantastic! Thank you. One thing I’m puzzled with if you can help is: I am trying to change the “Section Subtitle Color” in the Color Settings of the Header and it keeps reverting to the color I originally chose. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

“[column width=”1/2”]This is the first half column[/column]” “[column width=”1/2”]This is the second half column[/column]”

Trying to insert into body of page in the “Custom Content” box.

If you are using one of the newer versions of the theme (greater than v2.0.0) you won’t be able to use those shortcodes as it has been removed from the theme as now it’s based on a different html framework (bootstrap 3).

Please try to use plain html code in the content fields instead of using shortcodes.

Cheers, Erik

Pre purchase question. Hi I am thinking of purchasing but need to know if it is possible to allow customers to purchase up to 7 book chapters separately. Thanks Ben

Hi Ben. The theme doesn’t include a built-in purchasing feature by default, as it is basically a landing page theme in the marketing category (designed to showcase & advertise ebooks) not an entire book webstore theme.

Despite of this, you can always redirect your visitors (with custom links) pointing at separate PayPal pages created for each ebook chapters you would like to sell individually.

Let me know if you have further pre-sale questions to discuss. Cheers, Erik

Thanks Erik but I don’t think I explained my question well. I understand it is a landing page but I want to know if up to 7 custom links can be implemented in the theme. The demo pages seem only to have 3. Thanks, Ben.

Sure, you can have as many separate landing pages (for different ebooks maybe) as you need so, it’s pretty easy to get done since a custom Page Builder has been integrated in the theme. Cheers, Erik
