herald has many layout options that display landscape thumbs …

i’d like to see a layout option with portrait thumbs (vertical) for the next update …

the voyager theme nicely does it …

check it out here at http://demo.evatheme.com/wp/voyager/demo/home-style-9/

what do you think …

Hi,

This is already possible.

Please note that for each of the layouts in Theme Options -> Post Layouts you have “image ratio” option. So you just need to use “custom ratio” option and specify some portrait ratio, for example 3:4. After you save the options, just use “force regenerate plugin” as described in documentation and all your thumbs in this particular layout will be portrait oriented.

Please let me know if this helps :)

Cheers

i never paid attention to aspect ratios looks like i have some learning to do …

in the case of that demo i presented, the thumbnail measured 413×620 …

to me that is a 2:3 ratio …

so a 2:3 portrait ratio would yield a 413×620 thumb …

is this correct …

Exactly :)

Can Herald show posts from a custom post typ?

Hi,

Basically, yes. There is an option in our module system on home page to choose post by specific IDs and display theme regardless the post type they are using. However, automatic display of post by specific custom post type is not possible yet.

Hope this helps!

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers

Activated RTL feature but Header (logo) is still on the left. Please advise how to move it to the right.

Hi,

You have left, center and right slots for each header part in Theme options -> Header, so you just choose logo to be on the right position.

Please see this topic for more info: http://mekshq.com/docs/herald-header-setup/

Hope this helps! :)

Hello. How I can move “Add Comment” field to the bottom? I want to place the “add a comment” under the last comment

Hi,

At the moment, it is possible to do that only if you change some theme files. We are about to provide such an option in the next updates.

Inside your comments.php file in theme folder, find comment_form line and move it bellow comments list. Like this:


<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

            <ul class="comment-list">
            <?php $args = array(
                'avatar_size' => 60,
                'reply_text' => 'Reply'
            ); ?>
                <?php wp_list_comments($args); ?>
            </ul>
        <?php endif; ?>

<?php comment_form(array('title_reply' => '')); ?>

Please let me know if this helps!

Hi. Thank you for answering I did what you said. But until now the Add Comment field display above comments, It only goes to the bottom when I click to Add Comment.

I want for the “comment form” field to be displayed at the bottom. is there a way to achieve that?

Hi,

Yes, you are right. Please move this part of code below as well:


<div class="herald-gray-area"><span class="herald-fake-button herald-comment-form-open"><?php echo __herald('comment_button'); ?></span></div>

<?php comment_form(array('title_reply' => '')); ?>

Hi Installed your theme but there seems to be some problem with one of your plugins. Please see the message given below:

ctor method for WP_Widget in EV_Widget_Entry_Views is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct() instead. in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas07_data03/54/2580354/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3718

Hi,

Many thanks for choosing our theme!

We are aware of this issue, and you can solve it if you turn off debug mode in your wp-config.php file of your WordPress installation. Just change this line of code and warning message will disappear.

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

Unfortunately, this is not our plugin and our theme just supports it so we cannot have much control over it. However, this is a small issue you don’t have to worry about, everything will be working fine.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

we can change theme directory name and informations author in style.css without any problem ?

Hi

You can’t do this according to ThemeForest licence our theme is not GPL so you cannot change author name. You can change directory name if you want but you need to credit us in style.css file since we are authors of theme.

Hope that this helps

Hi love your product and bought 3! I have issues with this template…it is terrible on IOS iPhone devices…take a look yourself…you may be losing sales as a result…back to top button is not visible even though checked…sidebars appear st the bottom of the screen….content does not render & does not take up all space on iPhone and it’s sometimes impossible to scroll…728×80 banners ads are not responsive…they keep the same size and blow out the screen and that’s using Meks Ads Plug…I could go on but I may have to remove this from our site until mobile fixes are made. It also does the same thing on Windows 10 mobile on Lumia phones…just a heads up…it costing you sales.

Hi,

First of all, many thanks for your kind words!

Have you checked if the issues you are having are maybe related to some of plugins you are using on the website. Can you please open a support ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact regarding this topic and we would be glad to work with you on resolving each possible problem on by one.

Thanks!

Hello, thanks for this amazing theme! I am trying to create a multi-paged post but I don’t know how to do it and I can’t find any information in the docs. Could you tell me how to split a post into several pages? thank you!

Great thank you very much, I will give it a try!

Hello again, I got the multi page working very well. Could you tell me how I can deactivate the ‘circle’ navigation? I mean, on page ,1 I want to hide the “back button” so the user does not go to last page from there. The same on last page I would like to hide the “next button” to not be able to go to page 1. Thank you!

Hi,

I think you will need to modify the code a little bit to achieve that. feel free to open a support ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact and we’ll see what can we do.

Cheers

Hi, Meks.

1. I would like to add an outline to my images, like this:

outline: 1px solid black;

Where do I add the CSS?

2. What is the full code? I tried this, but it didn’t work:

.format-image { outline: 1px solid black; }

3. To change or add CSS, when do I use the Additional CSS box and when do I use the child theme?

Sorry for my ignorance and thank you for your brilliant support.

Hi,

Please open a ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact regarding this topic and our support will be glad to help.

Basically, for small tweaks like this, it is ok to use Additional CSS field in Theme Options. Child themes are more useful if you are doing some significant changes.

Best regards

Hello! Great looking theme! I’m wondering about support for a calendar of events? Is this something I can find in the theme preview? Thanks!

Basically, all common WordPress event plugins should work fine with the Herald theme.

Cheers :)

rich snippets working on google ?

Hey Meks, Amazing theme man. I have few pre-sale questions.

1. The theme is SEO friendly or SEO Optimised? 2. Is it compatible with Yoast SEO plugin? 3. Can I customise the size of the featured image post? 4. Gallery feature in the theme, can it come in between the content?

Hi and thanks for your interest and kind words!

1. Yes, we always try to cover all the SEO rules.

2. Of course! Yoast SEO is fully supported.

3. Basically, yes. You cannot change exact size, as width of the image is defined by design but you can choose different aspect ratios for each of the layouts 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 etc…

4. Yes, if a gallery is placed inside content it will look the same :)

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

Possible bug:

I selected the “Comments” link to be displayed for single posts (Herald Options > Single Post > Content > Meta data (list) > Comments).

Now, the Comments link does appear under the post title, but when I click it, nothing happens.

Can this be fixed, please?

Similar problem when I select the “Comments” link to be displayed for main layouts (Theme Options > Main Layouts > Layout B1 > Meta data > Comments).

The Comments link does appear for each post, but when I click it, it only links to the post page. It doesn’t go to the Comments box on the page.

Similar problem for featured layouts. The Comments link does appear for each post, but when I click it, it only links to the post page. It doesn’t go down to the Comments box on the page.

Hi,

We are not able to reproduce the problem on our side. Can you please open a support ticket via http://mekshq.com/contact with your website url and we would be glad to have a closer look?

Also, please check if you are using some of the comment plugins, it may be a conflict.

Cheers

Hi,

You need to add gallery to your post, not just 3 images one by one. Please take a look at official WordPress tutorial how to use galleries: https://codex.wordpress.org/The_WordPress_Gallery

Hope this helps!

Hi meks,

Really good job with Herald theme! Pre sale question:

1. Is there a way to shorten the post title on the Trending post bar? In a magazine sometimes the titles are really long.

2. Could I use Herald theme for a multisite installation? Do I have to buy a copy for each subsite or is there a special license for this?

Thanks

Hola

1. This is good idea I will add this to our ideas list and I will discuss it with the rest of team to add it in one of future updates.

2. Yes you can use it.

Please let me know if you have more questions

Cheers

Hi, Meks.

Thank you for the great support so far! Quick question.

If I choose a post to be in image format, the image icon appears on the post. Can the image icon be turned off?

Hi

Add this CSS to Theme Options / Additional Code / CSS filed:

. format-image .herald-format-icon{
display:none;
}

Please let me know if this helps

Thank you! It worked perfectly—I just had to delete the space between the first full stop and “format-image”.

You guys are providing some great support. Well done!

You are welcome! :)

Hi

I really think that your theme will be my choise for the redesign of my site. But I am looking for one feature I couldn’t find in any theme including yours.

The review plugin: I want a theme where I can give e.g. 5stars to a book and than the 4 stars are not displayed in a table/container but as a big 5 star rating. So the 5 stars are as wide as the content box. Would that be possible?

Hi

This looks like plugin functionality to me and I have two solutions that can help you.

First one is to use our theme with customized code – to have posts where you can “attach” 5 stars to home page post listing and then when you go to single post user can see 4 star ratings etc.

Second one is to look for some other plugin that maybe can do this.

I hope that you understand that it is better for you to have this type functionality as a plugin because one day you would want to change theme so functionality will stay or maybe you would want to remove this functionality.

Please let me know if this helps and if we can help you in any other way
