hello Cubell, does valenti support structured Data?
Hey Kayxlash,
It does indeed
Just make sure to be running the latest version to get the latest structured data code implementation.
Cubell
hello Cubell
I get an error in google structured data test, or is there some kind of plugin i should use?
Oh right, in that case open up a ticket at http://cubellthemes.ticksy.com and someone from support can give you a hand, just make sure to share your site url and problematic url (with schema issues) 
thanks
No problemo 
Cubell,
please does the Valenti theme have a H1 tag when using the static home page?
Hey again,
No it doesn’t, you need to manually add one, as there isn’t a way for the theme to know what text you want as your h1 on the homepage. On categories/tags/posts/etc it’s easy because it’s the name of that thing. Hope this makes sense.

If the type of the post is Video, how to make video playing without click on the main futured image?
Hey Websiterra,
If you use YouTube, it will autoplay if you have it enabled to in the Theme Options -> Extras. And it would work like this: http://15zine.cubellthemes.com/videogames/nintendo-wii/video-format-a/

Hi Cubell, is it possible to load user ratings via ajax because of the use of a caching plugin? At the moment I can rate, but on the next page load the cached counter and rating is visible. Best regards, Dominik
Hey Dominik,
What cache plugin are you using exactly? There might be a way to make your current plugin ignore the ratings score query.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, thx for your answer. It’s https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/. But I could use another one if you recommend another one.
Ah I see! On the demo site I use W3 Total Cache and it works great, I think the scores do get cached, but they refresh relatively fast. Have you tried that one?
Yes, I tried W3 Total Cache. If I enable Page Cache and rate an entry, then load the page again, the new rating is not loaded via ajax.
I will look into it deeper and see if I can add special code for W3 Total Cache for it, as that is really the best/cleanest solution.
Cubell
Sounds great. Will this also work for the views? They are also dynamic. Thank you!
No problemo! But i’m afraid it definitely can’t be done to the views, as those have to be cached, otherwise Jetpack will ban your account!
Hi great theme Is there any way to add a play button on the video posts image when shown in Featured Posts grid?
Hey Sherwood9000,
Thanks for the kind words and for choosing Valenti 
The grids were designed to be clean and minimalist so nothing other than the basic meta (title, etc) and image loads I’m afraid!
Cubell
Great Theme – I have been using it for a couple of years. How can I disable my custom post types from showing up in the blog feed only? I like how they are implemented every where else I just do not want them on my main blog / home query feed.
Hey JKdesign4u,
Happy to hear that 
That is a very specific and potentially tricky one to do. However, hopefully this plugin can help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-category-excluder/ i’m not 100% if it works with custom post types, but it’s worth a shot!
Cubell
Hey Cubell, I have some major issues with the theme.
1: How to make the global background “sticky” like the demo? 2: How to make the ONLY GRID home page ? ( there is only a only grid with sidebar) in the dummy data which I have uploaded step by step.
NOTE: I bought this theme for these exact reassons. For the background and for the only grid homepage demo.
Hey Manesisnet,
Thanks for choosing Valenti, I hope you enjoy using it.
1- In the theme options -> Global styling, in the “Global background image” option you simply upload your background image, and then in the “background-repeat” option select the “Stretch to fit”, that is what the theme demo site uses.
2- You do that with the homepage builder. Follow the instructions to build your homepage from the documentation, and simply add multiple grid modules to achieve that. Then if you want to remove the white spaces, share your URL of that page here and I’ll explain how to do that too.
Hope this helps.
Cubell
Another issue, in mobile view the theme doesnt work proper. My home page’s images are taking much more place than the background in terms of height. Please check out at www.takemethereproject.com . Im starting to regret the money I spent on this theme seriously.
H again,
To remove the spacing in between modules, add this custom css to your theme options > Custom code > custom css box:
.page-id-236 .cb-grid-block { margin: 0; }
And the theme works absolutely perfectly and properly, any issues are due to improper setup. It has over 8000 happy customers, don’t you think if it “didn’t work proper” that you’d see more comments with complaints?
I had a look at your site on mobile and it all looks absolutely normal to me. Images are responsive, meaning that because desktop screens are landscape rectangular in proportions, and phones are portrait, images can’t be shown exactly the same. This is physical restraints and makes sense why things.
Cubell.
Dear Author, This is one of the lovely theme that I came across for blogging purpose. I really want to congratulate you and for all the success you have with this theme . Great work!
Just a pre buy question – I see that the menu when opened from mobile covers the full screen. So is there any flexibility that it covers only the half of the screen like http://live.yithemes.com/nielsen/ ; www.maxim.com (when opened through mobile)
Looking forward to a prompt response
Thank you
Hey Creazinetech,
Thanks so much for the lovely words, really appreciate them 
But I’m afraid not, the mobile menu covers the entire mobile page when opened. I believe this is much better than half though, because you won’t be limited in menu item title length, and visitors who open the menu want to focus on the menu items, so the screen should show exactly what they want to see.
Cubell
Can i increase the ordering of the authors more than 5?
Hey again,
You can set multiple authors into each position, so you can put the first few to position one, the next few to position 2, etc 
Cubell
Hello, how can i set the single author’s page with artcles on the right side and not below the author bio?
Hey Tuttuu,
Can you share a URL of where you mean? Because the author does not appear below above the posts, this is how it should appear:
http://valenti.cubellthemes.com/author/cubell/Cubell
.
Hey again,
That looks really strange, are you using a child-theme? If so, check that you aren’t overwriting the author template file. as that would be why.
Cubell
Thanks for the reply, i’m using the main theme, without child. How can i fix the problem?
Check your custom CSS, because that definitely doesn’t happen to a fresh installation of the theme. And if that doesn’t help, share your URL here to take a look at the live code.
Cubell
Hi there – is it possible to make one top menu item a color? E.g. we have the menu background as black, and would like the Store menu item to be in orange. Is this possible?
Hey Esparenburg,
That may be possible with some custom css, but I’d need to see the URL to be able to write the exact css needed 
Cubell
Hi there – URL is http://www.weightmanagementpsychology.com.au/
Hey again,
Try adding this custom css to you theme options -> Custom code -> Custom css box and see if it helps:
.main-nav .menu-item-1635 { background: #eb9812; }
Hope it does.
Cubell
Thank you so much!! Worked perfectly!!

You’re welcome 
Hi,
I am trying to using the background function on individual post but for some reason the image is not selecting. This is the site www.imoveilive.com How do I fix this as I need it to work as I sold the space to someone.
thanks
Hey guys need some help. Client is waiting. thanks
Hey Imoveilive,
I had a look and it’s because the site has activated the “Background takeover ad” system and set a link (links to musichoarder.com) but not set a background image. If that is a mistake, turn it off and the post background images will appear again, as the background override is exactly that 
Cubell
i would like to do a take over for this page but unable to select image in the post edit page. It will not work at all. How do i fix.
Thanks
Hey again,
Ah right, so what exactly have you got on that page? Because I can currently see a “Chayan miranda” image with a foot + purple shoe. Where exactly is that image being set? Featured image of the page?
Cubell
Hi,
That image is just the featured image. I am looking to make that image a complete background image but the page background setting that comes with your template does not work. I downloaded another plugin so it’s working now.
Thanks
Hey again,
But the background image isn’t for that though, if you select the featured image style to be “Background” option, like you have, then all you need to do is set a featured image and it will output like that. The other background option does work, but it doesn’t output when your featured image style is a full-background one. The background option only applies when you select other featured image styles (such as standard or full-width ones).

hi how to add menu on mobile ?
ex. ( http://finrealestate.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/13563451_1033692876685418_780467224_n.jpg )
2. how to change color line ?
( http://finrealestate.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/cats.jpg )
3. How to make add Trending—>
Thank you.
Hey Bygamezz,
Thanks for choosing Valenti, hope you enjoy using it 
1- Remember to check the documentation, as most answers are already there
But you simply go to Appearance -> Menus and set a menu to the “Small-screen navigation menu”. The reason it’s a separate menu is so you have complete control over what to show there and aren’t automatically forced to show the main menu one there.
2- You edit your categories and give them a global category color. Now any modules that you set to show from a specific color will use that color automatically.
3- That is called the breaking news bar, it’s an option in the theme options, and you can set it all up in there to show trending posts 
Hope this helps.
Cubell
thank you
You’re welcome 
Hi Cubell, which typo and size do you use in your demoversion for the bodytext?
Hey Adelinahorn,
It’s Oswald as titles and Raleway as body, and the body is set to 18px for desktops 
Cubell
I noticed there are options for full width search results and category pages
but how can we get full width blog posts?
no sidebar or sidebar spaces…
?
Hey Tiger33,
Are you asking how to achieve something like this: http://valenti.cubellthemes.com/design/photography/post-parallax-featured-image/ ?
Cubell
Hi yeah thats right perfect – trying to do that but can’t get it right at all 
in my case i dont need the sidebar widgets just the post content so thought i could do this easiler – and get something closer to a full width page
ok found he option – its in valenti options on a post by post basis – any chance to have this default?
I’m afraid not, but you can apply it to all existing posts by installing this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-field-bulk-editor/Then for the custom field enter:
cb_full_width_post
and for the value enter:
nosidebar
Should do the trick 
Cubell
Hi, quick pre-sale question:
In this link http://valenti.cubellthemes.com/design/photography/post-parallax-featured-image/ I really like how the main image in a post is wider than the text content. Will it be like this for all of the images or just the featured image?
In other words, can you confirm that in the no sidebar view, the images can be wider than the text?
Hey Codings,
Thanks for the interest in Valenti.
If you set the no sidebar option, you’ll get the option to make embeds be the site width (wider than the text), but only the featured image can be full-screen width.
Is that what you’re wondering? If you need full-screen embeds too, may I suggest you take a look at my 15Zine theme, which is another magazine theme currently available here on Themeforest, and you can do things like this: http://15zine.cubellthemes.com/design/parallax-story-post/
Hope this helps.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, thank you for the reply. I do not need the pics to be full width, just for them to be wider (for example 1000px) while the text is more narrow (say 800px). It appears that both themes do this. I am hoping that they will do it without any special coding, because there are lots of existing posts with images already sized at full size. It would be great if the theme automatically displays posts this way. Thank you.
Hey again,
You’re welcome 
And yes, both themes can do that, except 15Zine can do the full-screen thing too. There is no special coding needed, you simply set the image embed options to be “full size” and “align none”. And then in the post layout options you set it to no sidebar and done 
Hope this helps.
Cubell
Finally someone has the sense to do this. It’s the only theme I’ve seen with wider images. Thank you! Will buy it. Wish there was a package deal for buying more than one of your themes.
I’ve run a couple of personal projects outside of Themeforest, so I have experience in running real online magazines and I understand what is needed to run a modern magazine, which is why the theme is the way it is 
And I wish I could offer you a discount, but that isn’t something authors control or can do. The prices are 100% controlled by Envato and they set all the rules, you’ll need to contact them to see if there is any special deal if you buy multiple products.
Cubell
“I’ve run a couple of personal projects outside of Themeforest, so I have experience in running real online magazines and I understand what is needed to run a modern magazine, which is why the theme is the way it is :)”
This is evident the more I look at your work on these themes. Excited for future updates and to see what you come up with next. Thanks!
Thanks very much once again for the kind words and support, really appreciate it! 
I bought this too along with 15Zine. Might not use it, but wanted to show support and happy to find your themes. Also I like how you address questions/suggestions so thoroughly in the comments section here.
Heads up, when playing with Valenti, noticed there are no Valenti widgets. Documentation says they should be there, so when comparing with 15Zine noticed the Valenti directory doesn’t have a widgets folder in “library”. Tried to redownload and same thing. Maybe got misplaced in recent update?
- It’s very nice that when switching between your themes, the setting mostly carry over. However, one setting that does not carry over is the featured image setting. In 15Zine, images with align:none are full-screen width, whereas in Valenti align:none makes them full-size. It would be better if both followed the same rules so that the style would carry over when switching.
- When sharing a post on social media (Twitter, Pinterest tested) the theme (Valenti only tested) does not supply image information.
That’s all I have so far.
Any idea about the Valenti widgets being missing from the latest theme files?
Hey again,
Thanks so much for the support, it really does mean a lot and I’m very appreciative! I hope you enjoy the themes 
Regarding the widgets, the are part of the core Cubell functionality plugin, install that and you’ll see the widgets in Valenti.
And I do know what you mean about the featured image setting carrying over, but there was a naming issue which is why it happens when changing from one theme to the other.
For the social media data, as most users install SEO by Yoast (or similar plugins), then in order to avoid having duplicate meta data outputting ,the theme let’s plugin take care of that. So simply install SEO by Yoast (a must-install plugin really) and it should help a lot.
Hope this helps.

?Hey Cubell, Hope you’re well
I’ve been using Version 4 of Valenti for a while now and love it but today saw you had an update available and updated my site (www.Movies.ie) to version 5.4 everything worked out nicely enough apart from two issues, I’m wondering if I did something wrong or if these are settings I can adjust?
First – the leaderboard position of my site Movies.ie is now shaded over with a black colour, I can see my advert behind it but it won’t display properly.
Second – The font on the Mega Menu drop downs look very Bold and Thick – much tougher to read than before. Is there a way to change this font?
Thanks!!
Hey Radiatorxx,
I’m well, hope you are too 
I had a look and that is very odd, but are you using a child-theme by any chance? If so, can you activate the parent theme just to test and see if that fixes it, as it may be due to customizations you have added in the child.
For the titles in megamenu, try adding this custom css:
.cb-big-menu .h4 { font-weight: 400 !important ;}
Hope it helps.
Cubell
Thanks Cubell, I was using a child theme until a week ago but since stopped using it. This is my first time using Valenti as the parent theme.
.cb-large { height: auto;} .cb-large { width: 100%; text-align: center; } .cb-large {margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px; } .header { background: transparent; } .cb-big-menu .h4 { font-weight: 400 !important ;}
Here is the custom code that I am currently using for my menu. I’ve deleted it but it made no difference. I think it might be related to the sticky menus, tho I’ve turned them off with no luck.
I noticed that the secondary menu isn’t showing in Safari with it either.
Appreciate your assistance with it.
That is strange! Have you got cache plugins installed? Because it may be that your cache hasn’t updated all the new files in it. Also, go through the theme options and appearance -> menus and ensure everything is set up as you want it to.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, I spent a few days going over the settings & even set up a new test site where the same problem also returned. The adverts in the top part of the site have a black shading from the main navigation menu over them.
It appears to be related to the ‘Main Logo’ – I don’t use this logo on my site.
As a test – When I add on a main logo – the problem goes away – the banner shows correctly with no shading. But when I remove the main logo the problem comes back.
I can’t have a main logo on my site – as I use large billboard size ad banners and these logos push the banners too far off the page (both left align and centre align) – So as a result I have to remove the logo so my ad banners fit.
Is there anything I can do regarding the shading showing when no main logo is uploaded.
I have removed my main navigation menu for now – which is not ideal. Also I have no caching installed on the site.
Thanks for your help
Hey again,
Can you please send me an email via my profile and share admin details, I will log in, re-enable the logo and main menu and try to see the problem live, only then can I figure it out and be able to help 
Cubell
Hey Cubell, Sent those details over. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for your help.
Hey again,
I had a look and I think I fixed it, but I’m not sure I set the right logo so check that out.
You had the global background ad enabled but nothing entered, and you had custom CSS that was causing issues to the banner!
Hope this helps.
Cubell
Hi Cubell, The problem is still there…. My preference is Not to have a Logo on the site.
When I remove the logo – the problem returns.
The Leaderboard ad banner is completely shaded over with a black colour. I’ve left this on the site at the moment if you want to look at it?
When I set the logo option to ‘Centered’ it removes the advert completely and won’t show it – when its set to ‘Left’ it covers the advert with a black colour.
The same problem happens when I do a fresh brand new install on a test site here also.
The problem didn’t happen on version 4 of Valenti – It’s just happening now with version 5.
Am testing in Chrome & also Firefox.
Thanks for your help Vincent
I had a look again and saw it! I think I’ve managed to fix it now though, take a look 
Hello, I am testing this theme for one of my site. The woocommerce products category widget doesn’t show the hierachy of the categories. Is there a way to fix that? Example on test.mikadomartialarts.nl Sanne
Hey Sanne,
Hope you’re enjoying the theme 
I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean though, can you point out exactly what should be showing and where in the widget?
Cubell
Hey Sanne,
Happy to hear that
But I went on your test site and it seems you’re no longer testing Valenti on it, do you still need my assistance with this?
Cubell
Pre sale question: Does the demo quick install have demo content in it?
Hey Gamerzinarms,
Thanks for checking out Valenti 
The theme comes with the demo dummy data from v1.0 in XML form, but it doesn’t include images, as the images used in the demo are copyrighted and licenses were purchased to use them.
If I’m 100% honest though, I really wouldn’t recommend installing the dummy data, as the theme is so easy to use, it’s best if you just start setting it up yourself. Valenti isn’t built with bloated crappy shortcodes or the likes, it’s all logical and very WordPress-esque, so once you get the swing of it, it’s easy peasy 
Cubell
Hey Cubell I ve seen you have done an update that’s great the author page is really good i ve seen the demo so seems the update is not yet available waiting the mail from envato
Hey Sara,
Happy you like it, I’m happy with the new design for the author page, I think it looks much more professional and the new sticky sidebar code works great on it too
The update should go live any minute now!
Cubell
One important thing: Google not scan breadcrumb and put “mini links” in search if you left default. I must put breadcrumb from YOAST and everything is ok. I hope you understand. Web site: http://Carsoid.com
http://prntscr.com/bjja24Hey Vujo91,
Hope you’re doing well
Thanks for letting me know, I will investigate that.
