Hi wyde, can we have the changelog ? 
We just updated the changelog, please check it again.
Hi, thanks Wyde. Unfortunatly it has not fixed my bugs of some elements not appearing. regards.
Please let us see any pages that you’re seeing the bugs, this will help us a lot for investigating any issues. Thanks.
My apologies, I’ve just fixed it today so this will be included in the next update.
Any ETA on that ? Also have plans to make Vela as lightweight than your others themes ?
The next update of Vela theme will be available to download within a week.
Unfortunately, Vela is too different from other our themes. It includes default scripts/styles of VC and WooCommerce. To make it be lightweight, many elements/features need to be removed, this will affect all websites that are using this theme so today we have no plans to modify it.
How can i hide read more button on vela post slider?
<style type="text/css">
.posts-slider .post-more{
display:none;
}
</style>
Thanks i have one more question where can i define post slider height and limit excerpt by words or characters?
Unfortunately, this element use default excerpt settings from the blog posts, you can change the excerpt for this element by adding the below code to functions.php in your child theme:
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 20;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 9999 );
Hi I use vela theme. I want to change my contact page but visual composer doesn’t work. not only contact page ?t doesn’t work at all pages. Can you help me?
Please make sure you’re using the latest update of the theme 1.8.6 that comes with the Visual Composer 4.11.2.1 that are compatible with WordPress 4.5.x.
Hello Wyde! Two questions for your Vela Theme:
1) Is the only place you can display social media icon contacts the footer? If not, how else can I do this?
2) And my bigger concern, I’m utilizing the Vela Portfolio structure in Visual Composer on two pages for my site. One to display a photo portfolio, and another to display a video portfolio. Each portfolio has it’s own categories. Keep in mind, I need these portfolios to be on separate pages. The filter buttons on top of the portfolios display all the categories from both portfolios on each page. Is there a way to remove/hide certain filter buttons so they will show on one page and not the other?
For example: I need the Photo Portfolio on page 1 to show filter buttons A, B, C. And the Video Portfolio on page 2 to show filter buttons D, E, F. But currently, Photo Portfolio on page 1 shows filter buttons A, B, C, D, E, F. And Video Portfolio on page 2 shows filter buttons A, B, C, D, E, F.
In the Build Query of the Vela Portfolio structure, you can type in the portfolio items you want it to show. But there isn’t an option to dictate which filter buttons to display/hide.
Thanks for all your help!
One additional question: Is there a way to add any custom social icons/links that aren’t provided in the theme’s social media contacts? There’s a list you provide, but I need to add a few that aren’t seen on there. Thanks!
Hello,
1) You can display social media icons in footer and top bar navigation, you can choose the header layout in Theme Options -> Header, some of layouts will display social media icons in the top bar.
2) It will be fixed in the next update so you will add custom categories in the Taxonomies field in Build Query option and only that ones will show in the filters.
3) You can use the Vela:Icon Block element to add custom social icons to your page, as you can see on our demo -> http://wydethemes.com/vela1/#footer
Simply choose any social icons from Font Awesome set and choose the size of icon.
1) Thanks!
2) When is the release date on the update?
3) That’s awesome! Furthermore, is there a way to upload your own custom icons? I.e. if I were to create an IMDB logo for the client that links to their bio (or any logo referring to site not represented on the icon list available), I’d like to be able to add it along with the social media icons available. How would I go about doing this?
2) We will release the new update within 24 hours.
3) Please follow the below steps to add custom icons:
1. Install and activate Vela child theme that’s included in the main download package.
2. Go to Appearance -> Editor to edit Vela Child theme.
3. Upload your web font icons files to your host.
4. Add the your icon CSS classes to style.css.
5. Add the below code to functions.php in your child theme:
/*
add_filter( 'vc_iconpicker-type-openiconic', 'custom_iconpicker_type_openiconic' );
function custom_iconpicker_type_openiconic($icons){
$your_icons = array(
array( "your-icon-class-1" => "Icon 1" ),
array( "your-icon-class-2" => "Icon 2" ),
);
return array_merge_recursive( $icons, $your_icons );
}
*/
The above code will add your custom icons to the Open Iconic set in the Icon Picker.
1) Is there any way to add a custom icon/link to the list of social media you have under Theme Options > Social Media? I’d like to add a few to the grouping that will be placed in the footer.
2) On my home page, I have a hero image that fills the browser with a mouse scroll icon. I’d like to be able to click on the icon and have it move to the section below the hero image. The hero image and graphics were created with the revolution slider. On the mouse scroll icon layer of the slider, I’ve inserted the following code: < a href=”heroscrollDown”> and the closing tag
On the row ID below the hero section, I gave it the ID “heroscrollDown” using Visual Composer. However, the link is not working. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for all your help!
Nevermind on #2, got it to work! Hallelujah! lol
Still need help with #1 however.
Unfortunately, in the current version this theme doesn’t allow you to add any custom link to the social media list in Theme Options. We will add it to the next update so you can add your custom links to Theme Options -> Social Media.
I’m having trouble with the Vela Team Members Slider on mobile. The slider gives my website performance issues in general, but also I feel the functionality doesn’t fit my needs.
Is it possible to turn off the slider feature so that the team member layout responds like a more typical responsive design (vertically stacked, and not in a horizontal slider)?
Unfortunately, the Team Members Slider always displays the members as slider. BTW, you can disable Auto Play option so it won’t play the slides when the page load.
To display the members as vertically stacked, you’ll need to build your custom layout. Simply use a Single Image and Text Block element to add an image and member bio manually.
Hi Team,
Visual Composer has updated to 4.1.2 and it’s not working with your current version can you please update it on your theme package.
it locked my website and I can’t change anything.
Thanks, Hamed
Hi,
The new update of this theme will be released within 48 hours.
BTW, the latest update of this theme (1.8.6) comes with Visual Composer 4.11.2.1 and I suppose it should also be compatible with 4.12. Please make sure you’re using the latest update of this theme (1.8.6).
I’m not sure why it doesn’t work on your site but it shouldn’t lock your site with the reason it out of date.
thanks, my current Vela version is 1.8.6 but VC needs to be update to 4.11.2.1 in order to work, please have a look to the picture >> https://goo.gl/photos/7FZeEar8KE2B2xpq6
You can simply click on the Update link on that page to update it.
If it doesn’t allow you to update or it asks for the license activation, please delete this plugin from the Plugins page first. Because there was an issue in the old version of Visual Composer plugin (4.9.x or below) that prevents users updating it via the theme.
After you delete it, you will see a notification message at the top of the page to install a new one that came bundled with the theme. Don’t worry deleting this plugin won’t affect your current content and settings.
excellent, now it working, I tried to update which asked me to activate the license buy buy it separately, 
which then I deleted and install it again from (Pre-package) and now it’s working perfectly thank you very much.
I’m glad to hear that the problem has been resolved

Thanks Wyde, I will be alert to the update, Greetings
Hi, i am trying to place an image in the centre of 2 rows. can you send the settings to do this please. please see the below link for an example of where i want the image to be placed
http://test.bounce-revolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Untitled-7.jpgHi,
Try this:
1. Add 2 rows to the page, change the “Padding Size” option of these rows to “No Padding”. You can set the background image or background color for these rows if you’d like.
2. Add a Single Image element to the 2nd row, then add your image to this element.
3. In the Design Options tab of this Single Image element, set the top margin to -50% so it will overlap the above row with 50% of its height.
by clicking on “import from file” opens a text box, can not import anything for there
You can import demo content in Theme Options -> Home, simply click on demo thumbnail to import demo content.
The “Import from file” button in Theme Options -> Import/Export is only for importing theme settings manually when you want to export your theme settings to use in other sites, it’s not for import demo content.
For more on importing demo content, please follow the instructions in our documentation.
in the wordpress admin when importing the theme he will step up to the “sliders” and hangs
If you can’t import sliders in Theme Options, you can manually import it in Slider Revolution page on your WordPress admin. Click on Import Slider button and choose slider zip files in the folder “Demo Content” inside the main download package. When you extract the main download package, you will see the folder “revsliders” in “Demo Content”.
Hello Wyde, I get the following error in the Vela map section:
There was an error. This page is not loaded well Google Maps. Check JavaScript console for the technical details.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ah1zgcx1miwzrz1/AAB138eo8qopHLpvVz_K_k46a?dl=0Hello,
We’ll need to inspect this issue on your live site. Could you please send us your site URL through a private message -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
private message sent
My apologies, Google has just updated Google Maps APIs Standard Plan on June 22, 2016 as you can see -> https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/standard-plan-2016-update
They no longer support keyless access for new domains/applications created on or after June 22, 2016 but all existing active domains/applications created before June 22, 2016 have been grandfathered, that is the main reason why our demo sites can still use the Google Maps without API key but your site can’t.
So we will add new option in the next update that will be released in a couple of days so you can set your Google Maps API in Theme Options -> Google Maps.
Thanks Wyde, I’ll be awaiting the update. best regards
Thanks for your kind understanding!
Thanks

Thanks !
Hello,
The latest update of this theme comes with the Visual Composer plugin version 4.11.2.1. You can update the theme to get the new update of this plugin.
However, there is an issue in the old version of this plugin that prevents users updating via the theme. You need to delete it from your Plugins page first. After you delete this plugin you will see a notification message at the top of window to install the new one that came with the theme.
Hi,
Irrelevant Tabs(taxonomies) are returned along with the correct taxonomies on a Portfolio Gallery, when selecting the specific posts in the portfolio widget in Visual Composer. However, when selecting taxonomies instead of only individual posts, the correct portfolio category is targeted, but the only Tab that is returned is “All”.
Any ideas on how to fix this bug?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue, it will be fixed in the next update that will be released within a week.
Much Appreciated
Where can i put the google api key on the theme ??
Unfortunately, there is an option to put Google API key in this theme. If you’re looking for an option for Google Maps API key, we will add it in the future. Also, Google Maps key is now an optional so you can still use the map without the key.
I need a api key to use google map (visual composer) I got the key but where i must to place it ?
You can use the Vela:Google Maps element in Visual Composer without API key. Simply add this element to your page, then set your address and drag the pin to your location, it can normally display your maps as you can see in our demo site -> http://wydethemes.com/vela1/contact-us/
I set my site as One Page Website but I can not override Title Options of each page for example setting Title Options > Background Video/Color is not work. Is that possible to override each page title for one page website?
The Title Background and Page Background of each page will not work on One Page site. Since it was a One Page site all pages will be loaded into the front page and title options of the Home page will be used instead.
You should create custom title area by adding new row to the top of each page, then build this row as the title area. Simply add a Vela:Heading element to the row and set the background for this row.
Ok I see, But I cannot set video as the background of the row right? If I want to set row video background I have to buy additional plugin for visual composer, like this one http://codecanyon.net/item/parallax-video-backgrounds-for-visual-composer/7320433, Am I understand right? Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, we’ve never tested that plugin with this theme so I’m not sure it will work.
However, with this theme you can set the video background for the row but just only one on the page since the video background is only available in the page options. So when you’re working on One Page site, you will have only one video background.
To set the video background on the One Page site, please follow the below steps:
1. Edit the home page, scroll to the Background Options, change the Background to Video and set the video URL so this video will display as a video background.
2. Edit all rows in the home page except the one you’d like to display the video background, then set the background color for these row to white so you won’t see the video on these rows that have the background color but see on only one that has no background.
3. Do the same as the 2nd step on other pages that display on the front page.
I know this question (in some form) has come up before (http://goo.gl/OT1vJD) but I’m having trouble changing the code to allow for custom URLs on the portfolio page.
I like the look/features of the portfolio page, so I want to use that image grid to link to an outside source. See example at bottom of page:
http://www.ffree.co/So instead of each of the eight portfolio sections linking to some variation of:
http://www.ffree.co/portfolio-item/portfolio-item-12/I want to point each page to a custom URL:
http://abc.ffree.coAny suggestions?
We’re sorry but we do not recommend you to edit any file in the theme because your changes will be lost when you update the theme.
The portfolio post always link to its own detail page. This theme allows you to change only portfolio slug (portfolio-item) in Theme Options -> Portfolio, but doesn’t allow you to change the link to external link.
However, if you’d like you can change the portfolio link by editing the file “shortcodes/templates/portfolio_grid.php” as below:
Replace:get_permalink()With:
'http://'. $post->post_name . '.ffree.co'
I have a page that has to be refreshed every time to display properly as set up with visual composer. Is this a bug, or is there a workaround?
Sounds like there is an AJAX conflict issue. Try to turn off AJAX Page Transitions option in Theme Options -> Page -> AJAX Options to see if it works. Also, please make sure you’re using the latest update of the theme and the Visual Composer plugin.
Hello Wyde!
Good day! I have disabled the responsiveness of the website in Theme options but it’s still responsive?
Thanks!
Hello,
We’re sorry but some elements as well as grid columns based on Bootstrap so they are always responsive even you disable the option in Theme Options, we will remove this option in the next update. Thanks for reporting this issue.
My navigation turns to icons I want to stay the way it looks in Desktop
I can work with the logo but the menu seems complicated

http://mfildxb.ae/
If you disable the mobile navigation and keep it as on Desktop, your menu items will overlap each other and will look messy.
However, if you’d like you can disable mobile menu by editing the main script in your child theme as below:
1. Install and activate Vela Child Theme.
2. Create new file “js/page.js” in your child theme and paste the below code into this file:
(function ($) {
$.extend(wyde.page, {
initPrimaryNav: function () {
var self = this;
$(".menu a[href*='#'], .footer-menu a[href*='#']").each(function(){
if (this.pathname == window.location.pathname){
var $el = $(this);
$el.off("click").on("click", function (event) {
var hash = self.getHash($el.attr("href"));
if (!hash) {
return true;
} else if (hash == '#') {
event.preventDefault();
return false;
} else {
event.preventDefault();
if ($(".menu > li > a").index(this) == 0) {
self.scrollTo(0);
} else {
if (self.scrollTimer) clearTimeout(self.scrollTimer);
self.scrollTo(hash, { offset: -self.sectionOffset });
}
if (window.location.hash) {
if (typeof window.history.pushState == "function") {
history.pushState({ path: self.siteURL }, "", self.siteURL);
}
}
return false;
}
});
}
});
if ($("#header .header-right").length) $("#shop-menu, #search").appendTo(".header-right");
$("#nav").prependTo(".header .nav-wrapper");
$("#nav li").removeClass("open");
$("#nav, #nav ul").css({ "display": "" });
$(".mobile-nav-icon").hide();
$("#nav").removeClass("mobile-nav").addClass("dropdown-nav");
$("#header").removeClass("mobile");
if ($("#header").hasClass("logo-center")) {
var logoMenu = $("#menu-center-logo");
if (logoMenu.length == 0) {
var centerPos = Math.round($("#nav > ul > li").length / 2);
$("#nav > ul > li").eq(centerPos - 1).after($("<li id="\"menu-center-logo\"/">").append($("#logo")));
if (this.onePage) this.initOnePageMenu();
}
}
$("#nav li.menu-item-has-children").each(function () {
var rPos = $(this).offset().left + $(this).outerWidth() + $("> .sub-menu", this).outerWidth();
if (rPos > $(window).width()) $(this).addClass("align-right");
else $(this).removeClass("align-right");
});
}
});
})(jQuery);
</li>
3. Add the custom PHP code to functions.php in your child theme to include the js file:
function vela_child_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$theme_info = wp_get_theme('Vela');
$version = $theme_info->get( 'Version' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'vela-theme' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'vela-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/style.css', array( 'vela-theme' ), $version );
wp_enqueue_script('vela-child-page', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/js/page.js', array('wyde-page'), $version, true);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'vela_child_theme_enqueue_styles' );
