Hello,

How can i customize the preloader image? I mean a image from my own.

Thanks for a answer.

H.

Hello,

You can add the code below to your child theme:

add_filter('flora_page_loader', 'flora_get_page_loader');
function flora_get_page_loader(){
    return '<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" /></div>';
}

Install and activate flora-child-theme.zip, navigate to Appearance -> Editor to edit Flora Child theme and add the code above to Main Functions (functions.php). Replace the return value with your custom HTML so it will appear as the page loader.

Hallo, I have a little problem with side-navigation on mobile version of my site: When I have a menu voice with submenu I can’t tap the principal Url because the theme opens directly the submenu on the side navigation. Thank you Ross

Hello,

If your parent menu items have their own links, you can click on these links to go to their pages. If your theme is out of date, please update the theme since it’s working now on our demo sites.

If it still doesn’t work, please send us your site URL in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so we can investigate this issue and help you out.

Hello,

Just replied to your email. You can update the theme to fix this issue.

Also, is there a way to edit the Menu colors?

Unfortunately, this menu doesn’t allow you to change the text color. You can only choose from Dark and Light color of the top menu for each page. When you edit the page you can change the menu color in Flora Options -> Header -> Foreground Style.

Thanks!

I’ve been having some problems with the website being responsive on the mobile format. Is it responsive? Or did I misunderstand that feature? Looking forward to your response.

Of course! This theme comes with responsive design feature. However, there are some content elements such as portfolio grid and image gallery grid have a bug on mobile. Please let us know when you see there is something wrong on any part on your website so we will fix it ASAP!

Hello Wyde,

I would appreciate some help with logo in the header on a Flora template. I am using a One page template as a starting point and when I my logo in the required resolution, it is displayed much smaller. Am I maybe missing some settings, or is there any chance to get the logo to be bigger. I have uploaded a .png file in 77×70px dimensions as required, but it gets displayed at around 30 px or approximately one third of headers height. Thank you again for your help and support. Best regards, Luka

Hello,

Your logo would be scaled down to fit within the header menu. In order to increase the logo size, you need to add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:


<style type="text/css">
#header-logo img{
    max-height: 60%;
}
</style>

Just increase the min-height value if you want a bigger one.

Hello Wyde, once again, thank you very much. Very helpful of you and a really quick response!

With kind regards, Luka

You’re welcome :)

Hello!

Great theme, do you have the names of the fonts you use? Thanks a lot.

Justin

Hello,

We use many fonts in this theme, you can see font names and customize them for each part in Theme Options -> Typography.

As the theme stretches ‘gallery’ posts to the width of the box (which often makes verticals too long to view) I’ve opted to insert a gallery into the text/body of the entry [full size, 1 column] whenever I’m posting verticals, images I don’t have at a large enough resolution or images of inconsistent sizes.

Alas, I’m unable to center them:

http://alexandermasters.com/2015/10/05/corey-boyce/

Any idea how I’d go about doing that?

If you’d like to add 1 column of images to the post, you don’t need to create a gallery but just add them one by one from your media Library so you can edit each of images to choose size and align option.

It’s the ‘one by one’ part that makes it so unattractive. Some of the posts have ~40 images, so this was the easiest way to go about inserting them.

We’re sorry but there is no option to align WP gallery images. The best way is adding an Image Gallery element from this theme instead, change Gallery Type option to “Grid” and choose 1 column. And add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to center the images in the gallery.


<style type="text/css">
.w-image-gallery{
text-align: center;
}
.w-image-gallery .w-item a{
    display: inline-block;
    width: auto;
}
</style>

Hello, I’ve added anchors to my services page, but I would like to add some smooth scrolling code. Could you provide that code for me? Here is the page: http://www.lessismo.com/services/

thanks

The issue with Vertical and Horizontal Split effects has been resolved in Flora 1.2.0 so you can update the theme to fix the issue.

Regarding the issue with footer widgets, we’ve never seen this issue before and it’s working fine on our demo sites. Try updating your theme since there are many issues found in the version that’s installed on your website. After you update the theme, if you’re still having this issue, please send us your admin login credentials in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so our support can help you figure it out.

Hi, just updated to the latest version and the footer widget columns are still acting up. Just email you my login. Thanks in advance

Hello,

Just replied to your email!

In a portfolio page I can’t get any ‘related posts’ to appear at the bottom of any new portfolio pages I create. Also what information is used to display the related pages – Is this the category, skills or tags?

The Related Posts box uses tags to display the related posts.

Hello,

Please see my blog. ->http://pekoli.com/new/ “More” is not working. I would like to show […]. How can I do it?

Thanks.

Hello,

We’re sorry, this theme generates the excerpt and limit the excerpt length by using number of words that doesn’t support your post content.

However, this issue will be resolved in our next update that will be available in a few days.

We will add a new option to limit the excerpt length to number of characters so it will work with your post content.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue!

Hello,

Thank you very much for your comment!! I look forward to receiving it!! Thanks.

Hi! I have a problem. The list of projects is not loaded on the second unit on my site. Link: http://mkitaev.ru/portfolio/. The first block of the project is loaded. The second block is loaded. After the second block appears loader. More projects are not loaded.

Hi,

This is a bug with the infinite scrolling feature when you turn off AJAX Page option, this issue will be fixed in our next update. You can temporarily fix this issue by turning on AJAX Page option in Theme Options -> AJAX Options.

So. I’ve enabled ‘comments for pages’ but the comment boxes don’t appear to show up on the portfolio pages (nor could I find the option to enable them within the portfolio section). Is there a way to add them?

Sorry but the portfolio post doesn’t support comments. To enable it you need to add the code below to functions.php in your child theme.

add_action('init', 'flora_add_comments_to_portfolio');
function flora_add_comments_to_portfolio() {
    add_post_type_support( 'wyde_portfolio', 'comments' );
}

When you add or edit your portfolio post, you will see the comments options at the bottom that allows you to enable the comment box for each post.

Also, you need to edit all template files of portfolio post (single.php and single-xxx.php) in “templates/portfolio/” and add the code below to show the comment box.

<?php comments_template(); ?>

Looking to add some html on the blog post/flora grid page just after the code below, but cannot for the life of me find which template I should be editing:

<div class="main-content no-sidebar header-space">    
<div class="post-content container"><!-- new code goes here -->

..</div></div>
http://alexandermasters.com/flora/grid

This part is in the main page template so you can edit it in the file “page.php”. However, if your page is a Posts Page, it will use the template file “index.php” instead.

Edit: When you edit the file “page.php”, you should edit the file “index.php” as well.

Fantastic. Just did index.php and it seems to be the solution. Should I still edit both, even though it was only meant to display on the blog posts page?

You can edit “index.php” only, it’s for displaying the blog posts page.

And one more still, but more with regard to mobile:

Blog – Flora Grid: is there a way to somehow get consistency from one post to the next? The mobile interface seems to take on the properties of the ‘normal’ one – which means I have some featured images with text beneath them, and the very next one the text only appears when you hover. Is there any way to have the entire image shown with the text beneath (or with no text at all) but.. at least entry to entry consistency?

Secondly: what css controls the overlay in the portfolio gallery? Specifically the mobile version.

Sorry but it’s too hard to provide the code to customize this layout. However, we will look into this layout to improve its appearance on mobile in our next update.

The custom CSS below changes the overlay background color and the title color in the portfolio gallery on mobile:


<style type="text/css">
html:not(.no-touch) .w-view figure figcaption:before{
    background:transparent;
}

html:not(.no-touch) .w-view figure h3,
html:not(.no-touch) .w-view figure p{
    text-shadow: 0 0 10px #555;
}
</style>

Last of the tweaks, I think: on the flora grid layout, is there a way to make the title be the link vs a permalink to the single post? I’m using the links ‘internally’ so it might be confusing for people. At the moment, if you click on the title (vs the actual link text beneath it) you just go to the entry which – in this particular instance – is a little redundant. The text beneath (the actual link) simply says my domain.

Swapped it out. Works a charm but it seems to have affected the positioning of the categories – they now sit directly on top of their title.

http://alexandermasters.com/flora/grid/

With the masonry layout, you should edit the code as follows:

Line: 104

Replace:
<?php   wyde_post_title();  ?>
With:
<?php   wyde_post_title($post_link);  ?>

Line:117-126

Replace:
<?php 
            if( !empty($post_link) ){
                $urls = parse_url($post_link);        
            ?>
                <a href="<?php echo esc_url($post_link); ?>" target="_blank"><i class="flora-icon-link-ext" /> <?php echo esc_url( $urls['host'] ); ?></a>
            <?php
            }else{
                echo wyde_get_excerpt();
            }
            ?>
With:
<?php 
echo wyde_get_excerpt();
?>

Perfect! Thank you so so much.

Is there a way to prevent it opening in a new window? Couldn’t find “_blank” anywhere in there. Will have a rummage around.

Edit: Found it on 410 of inc/custom-functions.php

All sorted for now!

Hi there, I downloaded Flora, and I installed this theme. But…Please see this page. http://pekoli.com/new/ I cannot understand this problem. Please help me!!

Sorry, now it is working!! :-)

I’m glad to hear that it’s working! :)

Hello,

I have your Flora theme in my top bracket for my new photography site. However an important feature for me is a full screen video header, but I can’t see this demonstrated anywhere, or any full screen video at all.

Can you send some links showing this?

Your help is much appreciated.

Leo

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our theme.

Here you go: Full Screen Video demo -> http://wydethemes.com/flora6/ Full Screen Slider demo -> http://wydethemes.com/flora1/

See more our demos here -> http://wydethemes.com/flora/

Hi recently purchased your theme and its an excellent one. I had installed the one page demo and it was working fine, since yesterday the revolution slider is not showing up. http://www.cicadamedia.com/tiara

Hi,

The slider is in the Home page, you should add your home page to the primary menu in Appearance -> Menus so the slider will also be appeared in your front page.

How do I disable the lightbox link/prettyphoto?

Oo. Found it in templates/blog/single.php – pulled the link from lines 99/101.

A few questions:

i) Because of how the Flora masonry grid displays (with some images being cropped in obscure places) is there a way to disable the owl-nav on the blog grid but allow for it within the single post itself? .owl-nav display: none, obviously, hides it from within the entry too. So that’s not much good.

ii) Do you have any plans to add the portfolio grid (4 columns w/ spaces) layout to the blog options?

Sorry but this layout is only available for the portfolio. Since the blog post is different from the portfolio post so this theme has the different layout and styles for each of them. As you see in our demo sites, we also have a grid layout for blog posts but it displays with different styles here -> http://wydethemes.com/flora1/blog-grid-3-columns/

Understood. Is there a way to modify the code of blog-grid-3-columns to display square thumbnails? All my headshots seem to be cropped just below the chin.

In order to display square thumbnails, you need to edit the blog grid template file in “templates/blog/content-grid.php” as below:

Line:72
Replace
$image_size = 'preview-medium';

With
$image_size = 'medium';

Line:75
Replace
$image_size = 'preview-large';

Width
$image_size = 'large';

Also, add the custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content.


<style type="text/css">
    .w-blog-posts.w-grid .post-media{
        position: absolute;
        left: 20px;
        right: 20px;
        max-height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
</style>

So your blog grid will display square thumbnails instead.
