Hi

I would like to know what is your opinion about having the landing page as homepage of the site in terms of SEO. Is it true that this kind of pages in the homepage are penalized by Google and other search engines?

Thanks in advance

The things is that we are not SEO experts, but its better to have the landing page as a landing page, not a home one.

I see. What happens is that in your demo site the homepage is an intro kind of page and it looks great but if you suggest me not to use it for SEO reasons I will get rid of it.

This person who suggested me not to use it, defends that Google and other search engines don´t like a homepage where there is no menu accesible so maybe he is right and I should get rid of that intro that you also use in the demo site.

What do you think about it?

Its just a part of the theme, if you do not wish to use it, its up to you. But we have the customer who still use that intro.

Hello, There is a problem caused by GT3 Page Builder. I can’t reposition other boxes using drag and drop at the edit post screen. When deactivating GT3 Page Builder I can drag and drop boxes. Please fix it. Thanks

I appreciate it. Thanks.

Is it possible to have content (text, icon, etc) over the Background Image/Video page template? Is there anyway to make this work? http://veraxstudio.com/action/

Hello! This type of the template does not support to display the content over it.

Does this theme have a calendar widget for the Blog/Journal sidebar to easily navigate to posts from a specific day?

Can I add or does it come with this? https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/calendar-widget/

Hello! The theme supports this widget. But I need to test it to be sure that you can navigate to posts from a specific day

I tested the widget. You can navigate through the dates to see the published posts. Note, it is integrated only with the Blog posts.

Just bought this template :). Is there any tutorial available? I liked the way everything looked on the preview, but am now feeling slightly overwhelmed when the template appears totally empty. I have found some videos on youtube, but these are so basic… I am not referring to customization, just simply creating the page like the preview. Or is there no way of creating this without thoroughly getting to know wordpress?

Hello! Thanks for the purchase. If you download the main zip file and extract it, you will find the documentation right there. Simply follow the steps described there.

found it, great! Thank you!

interested in picking this up, question though, is it possible for me to add the video/play controls to the full page vimeo background?

The thing is that Vimeo can be resized proportionally only. You may have those spaces on some screen resolutions, that’s why we resize the video to make it fullscreen.

what about just putting a single play button in the center? this would allow me to force the user to play only when he/she wanted to. would i be able to do this with some customization?

I think, yes.

We are interested to purchase this theme but we want to know if it’s possible to change the heart icon to a facebook like icon in the Portfolio grid page. And if it’s possible to switch it, could the facebook like count be integrated with the facebook app as well?

Everything depends on the functionality you will use. Here is the facebook like info https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button

This is the portion of the Portfolio page which I’m exactly pertaining to http://screencast.com/t/2Uh7XW8hy7 . We wanted to switch that heart icon with a Facebook thumbs up like button and by liking it, it should reflect to the user’s Facebook timeline. Is it possible with this theme?

This is not possible with the theme, I mentioned this info before. You can’t just replace the icon with another one to display the info on facebook. You need to customize the portfolio post and template code.

Hey there!

I just purchased this theme today and am in the process of setting up my image galleries and other pages. I just had a couple questions for you about that!

1. For several of the galleries I’m creating when I insert my images and then view the gallery the images are not there, BUT if I click on the screen it will pull up the .jpg link for my images. Do you know what’s going on here?

2. Is there a way to use the grid layout as well as add a short statement about the photos in the gallery? I’ve tried just creating a page with the photos embedded but they do not always stay in the grid layout. Any advice?

3. For some reason my blog posts are not populating on my blog page. I’d like to set up a blog using the Simple Blog theme but only have the option for Full Screen Blog. What do I need to do to get the blog working properly?

Thanks!

Hello! 1. Please send the website credentials to suport[at]gt3.zendesk.com We will check the installation to understand whats wrong. Please note, you need to disable 3rd-party plugins to ensure that they don’t cause the issue. 2. I suggest you to read the theme documentation http://www.gt3themes.com/helpdesk/soho-wp-theme/ . You can see that there are available Gallery and Portfolio Grid templates, read instructions how to setup one of the layouts. 3. Did you try to use GT3 Page Builder module Blog?

Hi there, great theme! When I change the logo to something I created, it leaves a grey border around the logo I uploaded, and thus makes the top menu bar a lot thicker. How can I avoid this? thanks!

Still a work in progress but – http://www.rachelclarareed.com/

You can change it in the theme options panel http://prntscr.com/9z2uvk

Hi sorry, what I mean is I don’t want any border at all around the logo – it is making the top menu bar a lot thicker because of the border that remains

Hi I uploaded the demo content but the logo on the landing page loads out of place and slides to the middle. I just want it to load in 1 spot, in the center.

Hello! What is the link to your site? Thanks

First off nice theme. I love the way it looks. Second, I appreciate the help with getting the pic thumbnails resized but I need to know if there is a fix for getting the website to work on Android phones. Maybe an update to soundmanager2? I looked through the code and it seems that there was a fix attempted but it doesnt seem to work on my Galaxy s6. Works fine on iOS though.

Hello! Can you please be more specific? What theme version do you use? I need a website link to understand what part doesn’t work.

Hey,

is there a possibilty to deactivate the gallery option when clicking on a picture. I would like to use the Fancy Lightbox Feature when users click a picture. After I installed it I now have the problem that two seperate boxes pop up when I click on a picture that is included in a gallery and shared p.e. in a portfolio or blog post.

Hello! What type of the gallery are you referring to? And what is the link to your site?

Hey,

thanks for your quick reply and sorr for not providing the full information.

Gallery is set to Mansonary Style (what should not have an affect on this issue), it is integrated on a portfolio website with the GT3 Page Builder. The URL above is one of many Portfolios on my homepage. On this portfolio page the gallery is set to rectangle previews and 1 pic per row.

So when I click an image to lightboxes pop up, the Fancy Lightbox and the “soho lightbox” below. If you close the fancy lightbox you can see the picture a second time. Reason for me using the Fancy Lightbox Plugin is that it shows the picture a lot bigger and that navigation is included in the picture and not below the picture.

Please send me PM and I will provide you with the solution. You can use the contact form on my profile page. Please note that I can get back to you only on Monday. Thanks

Hello again, I’m so sad for bothering you, but I’ve noticed one small issue with post titles fonts, which may be critical for users with cyrillic font packs (such as me). Post title in Simple Style don’t show several cyrillic russian letters (“?” for example) which are very important. I’ve tried different font packs with different options, but nothing changed. In single post, blog fullwidth, recommended posts and posts widget everything is ok, so I came to conclusion that it’s only simple blog post title issue. Any suggestions?

We need to see the issue on your end. What container are you talking about? There are a lot text containers in the theme.

I’ve send my credentials.

Thanks, we will check it asap.

Just bought it! Nice theme.

Is it possible to apply this option in further updates? I’m afraid, that pagination from my 300+ posts in drafts will break theme design even with 10-20 posts per page :-D

I will ask Mad_Dog about the feature.

Still curious.

Hi, Im trying to set up two different portfolios on two different screens. I figure the way to do this is to have one portfolio list the categories 1,2,3,4 ; and the next portfolio list the categories 5,6,7.

This seems fine, but the portfolio always displays a List All option, even when I dont have it selected.

Any ideas why this might be?

Hello! What all options do you mean? Any link or screenshot?

I can send the site to you via email directly if you wish? The List All option- is the one when you select what categories you want to disaply- theres one that says ‘All’. Thats fine- but when I deselect this, it still lists on my site and displays all of my category posts!

Sure, please send your site credentials (wp-admin details) via a contact form on our TF profile page http://themeforest.net/user/mad_dog and we will check it. Please note that we can do that on only tomorrow, I’m out of office already.

Hello, love the theme. I was wondering if the theme came with the option to include a search bar somewhere at the top.

Hello! There is no such an option, but it can be added manually into the header code.

Pre-Sales Question:

Hello, beautiful theme.

1. I would like the full slider galleries to work on touch with both tablets and mobile phones. You mentioned in another comment it would be added to tablets about 10mths ago. When I try to swipe the images on my ipad in the galleries, they don’t swipe. I can only use the button controls which is hard sometimes and not as intuitive as swiping.

2. What are all the template options for regular content pages? Meaning when I go to build a new page with some regular content, what template options can I choose on the right hand side in wordpress.

3. Can any of the different galleries be inserted on a regular content page? The demo shows all the galleries as their own pages. If not, is this where I should use portfolio type so I can have more content with images?

Thank you!

Hello! 1. I will double check this for you. Yes, I do remember about such comments. 2. Here you go http://prntscr.com/9o0r7p 3. Yes, its better to use portfolios in your case. You can use the grid, masonry… galleries within the page content. They are all based on the custom templates.

Hi! Everytime I go to install this template onto my Wordpress themes it gives me this dialogue ” This webpage is not available

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET Hide details The connection to www.keenanspencer.com was interrupted.” I’ve tried it on other devices and it says the same thing. Please help. Thank you!

I apologize. Never mind! I was uploading the wrong folder :p Thank you!

Hello! Great

Hi, I have error for share Facebook. I can not share on Facebook to any post, page or portfolio items. Error says 404 NOT FOUND. Thanks for you help.

Hello! Please put the link to your blog page

Hi, how can I put the link to blog page? Is it solved the error to share Facebook my blog, gallerie, portfolio posts ? How can I but image to body background instead of changing color ?

You claim that when you share your blog on facebook it gives the error. That’s the reason why I asked you to put the link to your blog so that we can check it.

Hi also, my video dimensions aren’t changed so you can’t see the title,is there a way for me to change the dimensions before I post it through wordpress? and my vimeo links are not working at all.

Hello! The TF stats displays that you didn’t purchase the theme. Please provide the info.
