Hello i am installing The7 theme on shared hosting server and experiencing very slow page loading response when accessing admin page (the visitor facing page speed is fine). It’s very slow when editing post, using visual composer, open media popup, and everything else in admin/dashboard area.

The hosting itself seems not be the problem because the old client site, ftp access speed, etc is working fine and fast.

Do you have any idea what caused this problem? The slowness make editing process very unbearable. Thanks

Hello!
Ver. 3.8.1 is not not The7v.2, it is The7v.3. As http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/update-the7-theme/ says, you need to address to /Old Theme/ folder.
If you address to support, they will help you to update the theme up to ver. 2.3.16. Regarding the modified theme files, your developer should have made modifications with help of a child theme. Otherwise, they will be overwritten during theme update.

Hi Dream-Theme Team

My menu is suddenly messed up and in WP-Admin Panel there is no menu, and if I want to create menu from WP-Admin Panel then nothing happen. Can you please look at this on urgent basis. Thank You. URL – http://testsporetesting.mesalabs.com/

Hello!
Pardon, but your account does not have buyer’s badge.

I see there are recent updates. I have a site on 7.2 and I do not want to change to 7.3. I used to be able to download 7.3 and there would be an old folder for 7.2 updates. What now? I am posting here so others can see the answer.

Hello. We have bought a new theme and are trying to install it. The old theme we had, which was The7.2, cannot be updated to The7.3 since it was purchased under a different account. We therefore purchased a new 7.3 theme under the account we are using currently. When we tried to install the new theme, an error message was given saying it cannot be installed because the “Destination folder already exists.” My question is, if we go in and delete this folder that’s under the same name and try installing the new theme, will it successfully download? If it does, will it completely erase all of our content on the site by installing a new, upgraded version of The7? I know there are solutions to this issue but I just really don’t want to lose all of our content. Any help is great. Thank you!

Hi!
The7 v.3 is available for free for all The7 v.2 and The7 v.1 users.
This should help: http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/procedure-to-update-the7-v2-to-the7-v3/

Hello, how can i make the custom google maps marker i uploaded Retina? I tried with @2x plugin but it did not work.

Hello!
I believe it rather depends on a plugin you use for displaying the map. If you add the marker manually on your own, you can find appropriate advice on the Internet.

Thank you for your reply, but i put the marker in with the visual composer and the google maps row there, and there is a custom map marker i can set, however I also want it retina, how can I do it?

thank you

Hi! Thank you too! ;)

Hi! I got the site running.

1. can i make it load faster? Do you recomend cache plugins? 2. the featured image on the full blog page (example: http://www.sss-elburg.nl/2750-2/) is very big. Can i change it to maximum hight?

Hi!
1. Could you please refer to http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/how-to-make-the7-load-faster/
2. You can use “Hide featured image” option in post settings and insert an image into post content with help of “Single Image”.

Hi there, How easy is it to build pages? Are you using Virtual Composer?

Hi!
Yep, we use Visual Composer, it is bundled into the theme package.

not sure what it was in the most recent theme update (or the most recent wordpress update), but my site loads about 10% quicker now :) thanks

Wow, great news! Thanks :)

Good morning, The visual composer on the theme does not show “equal height” option and I have the newest update. Has it been removed?

never mind! I got it!

Can I make a request? I like the fact you have several navigation styles, but It would be even better if users could choose the aspects they want on each style.

For example: Your side navigation only has one microwidget area. while the same general option with click has 2 micro widget areas.

Also, your horizontal navigation includes a top bar for additional details, but the side navigation does not.

Why can’t you simply have options to make it easy and not restrict certain features for certain navigation styles.

Options could be: 1. Horizontal or vertical (with multiple style options on each (classic, inline, split))

2. always visible, or on click 3. Over lay or sidebars 4. Include top bar (yes or no) (biggest request) 5. Check box to include Top navigation, left or right side navigation (some site structures would enjoy multiple navigation menus.

I don’t see any reason that a top bar can’t be included with side bar navigation, or why widgets can’t be placed above the menu.

Thanks.

Hi!
I have forwarded your request to our designer. Thanks!

Was there any answer to this from ‘zephyrweb’ 22 days ago?? I have also just raised a ticket.

I am using your theme in a One Page format. I added a page: www.mywebsite.com/mypage

The problem is that when I am on this page, the menu does not work anymore :

When I go on this other page and I click on a link (which is an anchor) on my main menu, I got the href : www.mywebsite.com/mypage/#home instead of www.mywebsite.com/#home.

I wrote my anchors like this : #!/home

Think I sorted it. TWO MENUS. http://guide.dream-theme.com/the7/user-guide/micro-sites/ Tip 2. If your web-site is supposed to contain any other pages or posts, create another menu with absolute links in the menu. For example: “www.example.com/#!/anchor-name” and set it as site Primary menu. In other words, duplicate the menu with this plugin and replace url with absolute url.

You are absolutely right!

Hello, I’ve a problem with theme. After WooCommerce update (current version 2.6.1) all endpoints are broken. If I go to /my-account/orders the site is redirect to /my-account. This for all pages or endpoints about user.

Someone can help me? Best regards

Hi,

In older versions of The7 the benefits grid had borders. I actually loved that style. Is there any way of implementing the borders simply (via CSS) to achieve the same effect? I will open a support ticket via the appropriate channel if the answer is yes.

Thank you.

Hi!
Borders were disabled because of problems with responsiveness. It is possible to add borders through CSS, but they may look not nice enough.

Hi,

I was wondering why the “Design options” tab disappeared from Visual Composer. It used to be there. I am trying to remove the gap between columns.

Thanks.

Hi, I only have the option for stripes 1-5. I recently updated the theme with the version from May 25th. Could that be related?

Thanks.

Hi,

Visual composer isn’t showing up in WP admin pages. I don’t know how to update to the latest version of VC, nor do I know how to update to the latest version of the7 theme as it’s not coming in automatically in my WP theme updates page. I checked to see if the theme is authenticated but couldn’t find where to do that. I do have a license for this site – http://karilatta.com.

Do I need to renew support for this small request?

Hello!
Here is how you can update your The7 v.3 http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/update-the7-theme/

1) When making Photo Albums or Galleries is there a Media Manager so all our photos don’t end up in the WP media section. We’ll like to be able to upload them into their own directories. Like we did with NextGen. Can we do this with the theme?

2) How can we add Facebook and Twitter Like & Share buttons to the photos in the albums?

Hello!
1) We have not tested such a case, but there might be problems with images used as background images in dynamic CSS files – they also are stored in /uploads/ folder.
2) I am afraid there is no simple way for adding a like button. But you can add a share button through Theme Options.

1) So are you saying if we use this theme all our images must load to the WP Media library? We’re talking about 10+years of photos. I guess this should have been a pre-sale question.

1b) Is NextGen compatible with this theme?

Hi,

Miroslav here from Dream-Theme.

NGG will work just fine with the theme, but it will not look as nice as The7 albums/galleries.

I also wanted to give you some insight on why The7 works this way:

First of all, according to WordPress Codex, theme should not add any features to the website. Theme is for site appearance; plugins are for features.

Second, and most importantly, when we were developing The7, most people were asking for reusable images. So if you upload an image to an album, you can use it in other album, as a single image on a page, or in some third-party plugin/shortcode. This was done in sake of greater compatibility.

Therefore, if you are planning to use The7 as a huge phote archive, I’d recommend you to disable The7 Post Types (this will give your site significant performance boost) and keep using NGG.

On our side, I’ll forward your feedback to our dev team: maybe it’s a good idea to make a setting to switch the mode of albums storage model.

Where in the download file(s) can I see a list of changes for a new version (like the one that just came out)?

Lost my Portfolio and Testimonials after theme update. Any advise?

Solved. Pre-Packaged plugins were not active.

Glad to hear the problem is resolved!
