Hi Wyde. Did you have any insight for me ?

Hi Wyde, i spot a bug with the newsletter form in sidebar if you want to see : https://www.brockwayproduction.fr/options/

Regards.

Edit: Newsletter seems to bug only in sidebar.

The form should have only one P as you can see in our demo content. You should edit the newsletter form to move the button into the first P and remove the second P from the form.

The trick fix that nicely. Thanks.

Hi there, Skype button is not working in my website http://www.giuliagalvan.it. I’ve tries both with accountname and Skype:accountname?call in the proper theme options’ section. Can you help me? Thanks

Hi there,

Skype button will work only on computers that have the Skype application and the Skype link is enabled on your browser.

If you have Skype on your computer but the link still doesn’t work, please try resetting the browser settings to enable the link or try it on another browser.

I have it and it works in other websites. It seems that confuse the Skype code with a link: look at the source, it just add http:// at the beginning

please let me know

I just added a link skype:username?call in Theme Options and it works fine. Also, you should see a link as skype:username?call without http://. If you have other plugins, try deactivate them one by one to see if it works.

Hi can you please advice me how to translate the only text non translated in my site located in top header--> cart button -->menu-cart navbar-right Many thanks

Hi,

If it means the text “Total”, it will be included in the PO file in the next update, thank you for reporting this issue.

Not only the text total but also the text on button “Cart”

Hi, this issue has been fixed in the next update that will be available in a few days.

Hi wyde,

it’s been a few days since i issue you some concerns and receive no responses.

Do you have some answers for me ?

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have some bugs from the theme need to be fixed ASAP and there are many questions in this week.

Hello! I purchased the Vela theme about 2 months ago and I’m just getting around to using it. Visual Composer is due for an update, but I’m unable to update due to not being licensed for it. How often do you update the VC’s?

Hello,

We always update the Visual Composer plugin if there is an update available for this plugin. Also, the latest update of this theme comes with the latest update of VC plugin, you can update the theme to get it.

After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to update the bundled plugins.

However, there is a bug in the old version of VC that prevents users updating via the theme, you’ll need to delete the old one on your site and install a new one that came with the theme instead. Go to Plugins page to deactivate this plugin and delete it, once you delete this plugin you will see a notification message at the top of the page to install a new one from the theme.

Hello,

I was wondering how you change the hover animation for featured images on blog posts? Right now it is a pink and orange gradient and I would like to change it to something else.

Hello,

Sorry for my late reply!

You can add below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to remove the orange gradient from featured images on blog posts:

<style type="text/css">
.image-wrapper > a{
    background: none;
}
</style>

Hello Wyde..

I’m having a problem when I’m updating the backend (wp-admin) like in pages, menu etc. When I’m clicking the Update/Save Changes buttons instead of updating the files it redirects me to the website.

Please help me :(

Hello,

I suppose this is a server issue since we’ve never seen this issue before. Try switching to another theme such as twenty sixteen. If this issue still happens that means it is not the theme issue. It might be because there is a plugin conflict, please deactivate your plugins one by one to see if it works. If it still doesn’t works so this is a server issue, there is something wrong on your host configuration, you should contact your web host directly.

It seems to have problems sonce the last update. My design mixed element in full width and some others not. Now everything is in full width.

We’ve never seen this issue before, please make sure you’ve updated all bundled plugins to the latest update too. Also, if you have other plugins, try deactivating them one by one to see if it works. If it still doesn’t work, please send us your site URL in the contact form -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hello, questions in regard to the Vela theme. Trying to insert videos I’ve added to the Media Library (file types: mp4 and m4v), yet they always come up with an error when I go to view the page.

1) Are you only able to play videos that are linked from a major website (I.e. youtube/vimeo), or you can play videos that are added to your library? And how?

2) What are all the ways to add a video to your page? The ways I’ve found thus far are a) title background/page background options in the page edit; b) inserting “Video Player” element in visual composer; and c) via the media button in a text portion.

I know the second question is a bit puzzling as it seems as if the mentioned ways should be enough. But I need to add a video as a background to a rectangle element that will have a text overlay (a background specifically to the rectangle element and not the entire page), and in a separate page a gallery of videos. I look forward to your feedback!

Hello,

1) We use the Video Player to play videos from major sites. But MP4 videos in media library will work only on slider revolution and title background/page background.

However, in the next update we will update the Video Player element so it will work with MP4 video in media library that allows you to add your self-hosted video to any section on the page.

2) These are the ways you can add a video:

a) Title background/page background b) Video Player element c) Add it to media options to display as featured video of posts and portfolios d) Slider Revolution.

BTW, this theme has no video background of the row or column that means you’ll need to add your video to slider revolution instead so you can show the video background that will have a text overlay.

I see. When will this next update be released?

Also, is there a way to display the photo masonry/gallery photos without having them link to an individual portfolio item page? And instead of linking to a description page, maybe going to a lightbox/enlarged image of the selected photo?

Thanks for all you help.

Sorry for my late reply!

1. We will release the next update in a couple of days.

2. You can add the below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to remove the link from featured image on portfolio masonry:

<style type="text/css">
.portfolio-grid .view figure a{
display:none;
}
</style>

Unfortunately, this theme has no lightbox image on portfolio grid so you couldn’t show the lightbox instead of linking to a description page.

Hi, I am trying to add an 11th team member in the team member widget, but the site only shows up to 10 team members. How can I fix this? http://www.ferrarimed.com/demo/

Hi,

Please make sure you’ve set the number of posts to 11 or more. Edit the Team Members Slider element, you will see the “Post Count” field in the settings window.

Hello,

All photos (rev slider photos, as well as portfolio featured image) are not visible on Google Chrome.

I have tried on multiple computers, as well as had friends in multiple cities test to see if they work on chrome and they do not.

Any ideas?

My website is www.mupha.com

Hello,

It doesn’t happen on only Chrome but it also happens on other major browsers such as Firefox and Opera since all images on your site are TIFF format (.tif file) that can display on only Internet Explorer and Safari but can’t on Chrome, Firefox and Opera as you can see in this link -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Image_format_support

You should use the standard format for web such as JPEG and PNG that can display on all browsers instead.

Hello, the web formats seem to have fixed that issue, however there is now another issue.

When I am on the portfolio page, or any other page that is not the one-page front, the menu/nav buttons do not work. Is there a way to have them lead me back to what they are originally linked to on the front page?

This is a bug of the One Page site menu when you’ve set the permalinks settings as “Plain”, it will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for reporting this issue.

However, you can temporarily fix it by editing the permalinks settings in Settings -> Permalinks, then select the “Post name” and save changes.

Hi, why have you decided to use sticky logo on mobile? I would like to have the full logo shown and shrink it to sticky logo when scrolled down, just as in desktop mode. This goes beyond CSS so I need help please.

Hi,

Since the size of mobile menu is too short and you will have a transition issue while changing from full logo to sticky logo when you scroll down so we’ve decided to use sticky menu instead.

However, if you’d like we can provide the custom CSS to change it to the full logo but our devs are not available now so we will post the code once available.

fantastic, yes please provide the custom CSS once your devs have time, that would be awesome.

My apologies for not getting back sooner. We’ve decided to add the sticky menu on mobile and bring back the normal logo so you don’t need the custom CSS. We will release the new update in a few days.

Hi, I can’t make CSS edits, everything is in a file called vela.min.css and anything I add to the code fields in theme options, advanced doesn’t have any effect :(

meaning, my new edits don’t override vela.min.css

Hi,

You can add custom CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to override the current style from the theme.

Please make sure your codes are inside style as the below code:

<style type=”text/css”> //Your CSS here </style>

If it still doesn’t work, try adding !important at the end of new value to see if it works.

Hi Wyde, Quick question, you say your theme have a lazyload fonction, can you tell me what option trigger it ? Because i thinks it’s bes that my cache plugin is already handlying that.

Regards.

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you! I have some bugs from the theme need to be fixed ASAP and there are many questions in this week.

For 2 previous comments: 1. All those 3 images are yours, you should optimize them by compressing and re-sizing before uploading. Only images that have retina URL field (i.e. Logo) will work correctly in retina display. Others will display normal image instead. If you’d like to support retina display you should upload your images bigger than the display size since they will re-size automatically to fit within the column container. Or just always use the icons instead of images.

2. Some sections disappear since we’ve updated some CSS animations in the recent updates. This issue will be fixed in the next update.

Vela Icons: You’ll need to modify the shortcode template in “shortcodes/templates” to add a rel attribute to Vela Icons.

For the meta issue: As you can see in WordPress standards -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Document_Head_.28header.php.29

The meta charset needs to be inside the document head, you shouldn’t remove it. Adding it in .htaccess is not correct way to fix this issue. If you’d like to follow W3C validation, you should choose another cache plugin or disable it, otherwise just ignore that error message.

Kind regards.

1- But why did you in the theme propose to upload 2 versions, 1 normal and 1 retina, to only display one version that is resized ? I dont really follow your on this point. Because i upload images with esact dimensions needed (you are the one that told me the exact dimensions in fact)

2- Thanks for that

Vela Icons : could it be a possibility to add the option in the next update ? (i hear that VC will do that too in his next update)

Thanks for the codex, i will check that out.

1. I got it, the actual problem for those 3 images is they have no width/height attribute so I suppose if we set the dimensions for them in the next update it will solve this problem.

2 Vela Icons: I’m not sure but will look into this.

How can i change the header and sticky header background color. Thanx!

You must add below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to change the background color of the header and sticky header:

<style type="text/css">

#header,
#header.fixed, 
#header.mobile.sticky{
  background: #2a2a2a;
}

</style>

Hello,

Ever since I downloaded your theme to my website, whenever I try to go to my domain name on directly from the address bar it directs me to a yahoo search of

“demo wide theme upload vela”

Here is the link it automatically goes to when I write www.mupha.com in the browser bar

https://ca.search.yahoo.com/yhs/errorhandler?hspart=gt&hsimp=yhse-gt&q=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.wydethemes.com%2Fvela1%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2F12&type=808263

Please make sure you have member description for each member. Try updating members in Team Members one by one to add the description to your member.

One more question – on the portfolio, I don’t want to see the dark border around my images. I have it currently set to Grid (No Space) but there still seems to be an outer rim on my portfolio pieces.

How do I remove this?

Try adding below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:

<style type="text/css">
.filterable .item-wrapper{
    padding: 0;
    background: none;
}

.post-filter .filter li.selected a:after, 
.post-filter .filter li:hover a:after{
    display: none;
}
</style>

Hi, I believe there is a “bug” with the translation at line 697 in file custom-functions.php echo ‘Show More’; Show More should be translatable? Possible fix? echo ‘__(‘Show More’, ‘Vela’)’;

Best regards,

Hi,

Absolutely, thanks for reporting this issue. It will be fixed in the next update :)

Hi, I was trying to figure out how to configure the Vela Team Member Slider to: 1) Sort team members by a certain rank? E.g, I want the head coach listed first, then other coaches, and then finally the office administrator. 2) Deep link to the team member’s bio. I notice none of the Vela demos show how to go to the team member’s full page once they click on, say, the picture, from the Vela Team Member slider. Thanks!

Hi,

1) You can build custom query in Custom Posts option within the Team Members Slider settings window. However, the sort field includes only WordPress standard options (e.g., Title, Published Date and Modified Date), you should choose a “Date” (published date) for “Order by” field, then edit each member to change the published date to sort them by published date instead.

If there is no order field in Custom Posts, please update the theme since this option has been added in the recent updates.

2) This theme has no deep link to the member bio page as you can see on our demo sites. It will show a “More” link to show full bio in the lightbox popup instead.

Hi, First and foremost i absolutely love your theme wished i had found it sooner.

I have uploaded it to shopify (not live yes) and in your guide instructions section #7 it lists BLOCK SERVICES but i don’t have that option and instead i still have 5 images for Motorola lumberjack McDonald etc.

How do I delete that section or update the block services?

Sounds like that is not the Vela WordPress theme, please make sure you’re using our theme -> http://themeforest.net/item/vela-responsive-business-multipurpose-theme/9793377

Also, please contact us from the account that purchased this theme to make sure you’re currently in the correct product page that corresponds to what you have purchased.

Hello, Hello , I want to make bigger the menu, how do I do it? And, I want to put an image 360º on the website. How should I do it? Thanks.

Hello,

You can add the below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to increase the font size of menu:

<style type="text/css">
.dropdown-nav > ul > li > a{
    font-size: 18px;
}

</style>

For the 360º image, usually it is an embedded object so you can use a Raw HTML element to embed this object into your page. However, you should follow the instructions from the site where generates your image 360º on how to use it.
