It says one click demo install, but it only installs the politics website, it does not give you the option to one click install the church demo, which makes the one click install functionally useless.

Hi @ EagleTemple , Cna you please check your Ticket #922128 and get back on ticket along with Admin and ftp access to see what’s not right there. Everything will be sorted for sure.

Regards,

Where can I complain to this person? I bought 2 themes, both of which are problematic and unhelpful.

Please check your other thread has been replied.

I made the mistake of purchasing this theme. I invested so much of my time trying to troubleshoot and get ‘no-brainer’ features like the Slider, Responsiveness, or others working that I have wasted more than the $60 at least 10 times over. I plan on using another theme from here on it, I would advise that people avoid this.

Hi @ Lexsion, Apologies for all inconvenience you faced so far. Would you mind to tell what issue you are facing as they might not be the issues in theme but needs proper guideline and instructions to set them up.

Always ready to help you! just let me know!

Regards,

First of all, shortcodes – FE in [accordion] “Carnegie#8217;s bestseller #8220;How t” – your UTF encoding does not translate correctly. I DO NOT HAVE OTHER THIRD PARTY PLUGINS that could damage this. NO VISUAL BUILDER OTHER THAN THE POORLY WRITTEN PAGE BUILDER YOU BUILT IN THE THEME. No other shortcode plugin or other text wyswyg plugin. 2nd – There is no way I can customize the ??? slider (I presume, revolution slider) where I select caption text size and or change the URL of the slides. WHERE IS THE DARN PHP PAGE FOR THE SLIDER? I need to change the automatic URL to different URLS or to redirect to MY Website instead of the slider reading the post’s original URL to the original article. ( I use an RSS to pull feeds in) 3.rd The slider does not offer any customization, unless you manually go into the CSS and modify height/width, etc. It only asks for from which category of posts to pull the featured image without which, IT DOES NOT WORK. (to anyone else that might wonder why your posts are not displayed. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FEATURED IMAGE. POSTS CAN ONLY HAVE ONE CATEGORY BUT THAT CATEGORY CANNOT HAVE SUBCATEGORIES) 4. Your theme documentation is insufficient at best. If the template would work out of the box as needed, maybe but it doesn’t. You do not describe or offer any “Do’s or Dont’s or specific for each plugin, f.e) 5. Twitter widget wasn’t working and the support had to go in and do whatever 6. they do not offer proper support they want to be given access to the admin panel in your WordPress – MAJOR SECURITY RISK – to address each issue themselves 7. Their ticketing system is inane. Is a threaded ticket, not multiple issues treated separately, as it should. So if you god forbid, ask few questions – they will respond ( very late 5days to 1 month delay) to the last question in the thread. 8. ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY LAYOUT, DESIGN, SHORTCODE, VISUAL BUILDER, TEXT EDITOR will BREAK THE PHP AND YOU WILL GET ERRORS. Mine ( I installed a better text editor like JCE) was that all my media was NOT RESPONSIVE. 9. More often than not, the support is vague, dismissive. 10. The PAGEBUILDER is useless since you have to write your own html to format the text inside of a column for example. Or you have to add the whole URL of your media copy/paste instead of having a way of adding images automatically by browsing to your media folder and or being able to upload your own. Adding a “upload image” form field is not hard, people! 11. You cannot uninstall the Pagebuilder plugin. It should, for all coding standards, be optional, not mandatory.

Is this enough or should I go on? Thanks, but I already sunk so much time into trying to get this template work as in the demo – that I got into the “sunk cost fallacy”

so I m cutting my losses.

AS I SAID IN MY NUMEROUS TICKETS

FIX MY SHORTCODES. IS INADMISSIBLE THAT ONE CANNOT TYPE ”’:;<&%#$@ without getting an UTF -8 ERROR.

I NEED THE PHP PAGE AND THE NAME OF THE SLIDER THAT IS ON THE HOMEPAGE. I NEED TO CHANGE THE URL OF THE POSTS DISPLAYED IN THE SLIDES AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WONT DO BUT I CAN AND WILL PROVIDED THAT SIMPLE INFO.

THANKS.

Hi Lexsion.

1. PAGE BUILDER : I have checked special characters by adding them in Accordion and tabs page builder elements. They are working perfectly fine. Have a look : https://prnt.sc/i4s8a4

2. IMAGE : You can put the image html in Column shortode. Have a look: https://prnt.sc/i4s8j4 Simply add image from Add media , copy html and put in column element. it will help you add html and shortcodes inside page builder.

See demo here : http://www.politicus.media/demo/

3. SHORTCODES See difference in wordpress editor and Westand page builder here : WordPress editor do not allow to add special characters. BUT we do have made them compatible with page builder of westand. You can copy same shortcode and put in Columns element of page builder to get it work.

Results : https://prnt.sc/i4san9

See demo here : http://www.politicus.media/shortcodes-demo/

4. Any plugin that is not tested and recommended with westand is not supported.

5. To activate twitter widget you would need to create correct Twitter api keys and add it to theme options here : https://prnt.sc/i4sbuy See help article here : http://chimpgroup.com/knowledgebase/twitter-api-keys/

6,7. I have marked your ticket on high priority and you will be responded quickly over there.

8. Any third plugin and code is not supported

9. I have noted the point and will provide image shortcode and element in next theme upadte. We are planning to release update as soon as possible.

10. Yes, The page builder is built in. If you need to use another plugin than you need to ask developer to make that compatible with westand theme first than you are free to use it.

11. Slider : DO you need to use revolution slider or post slider ? Please confirm so that i can guide you in right direction ?

Thanks! Let me know if i can help you further for any query.

Regards,

buy your template but it is super bad, the demo content is loaded with errors and now on the home page I only see texts like this:

vc_row el_class = “td-ss-row” td_block_23 limit = “1” sort = “random_posts” / vc_column td_block_author custom_title = “About me” header_image = “122” header_text_color = ”# FFFFFF” tdc_css = “eyJhbGwiOnsiYm9yZGVyLXRvcC13aWR0aCI6IjEiLCJib3JkZXItcmlnaHQtd2lkdGgiOiIxIiwiYm9yZGVyLWJvdHRvbS13aWR0aCI6IjEiLCJib3JkZXItbGVmdC13aWR0aCI6IjEiLCJwYWRkaW5nLXRvcCI6IjIwIiwicGFkZGluZy1yaWdodCI6IjIwIiwicGFkZGluZy1ib3R0b20iOiIyMCIsInBhZGRpbmctbGVmdCI6IjIwIiwiYm9yZGVyLXN0eWxlIjoiZGFzaGVkIiwiYm9yZGVyLWNvbG9yIjoiI2VmZWZlZiIsImJhY2tncm91bmQtY29sb3IiOiIjZmNmY2ZjIn19” td_block_social_counter instagram =” envato “facebook =” tagDiv “custom_title =” Stay connected “header_image =” 122 “header_text_color =” # ffffff “style =” style3 td-social -colored “twitter =” tagDivOfficial “open_in_new_window =” and “ / v c_row vc_column / vc_column

I need to fix this quickly or cancel the purchase by defective theme.

Hi @ alexrickert , Looks like you had installed some third plugin like visual composer on your site that is deactivated and showing codes on frontend. Can you please recheck and let me know ?

Regards,

I purchased the template had many issues on localhost. I migrated to a web server and opened a ticket. No one answered me for ten days. What gives? The template does not DISPLAYS the “services” section in Chrome Browser, but does in Edge/IE – this is a BIG ISSUE for me and if I get no support and help, I am asking for a refund. Unacceptable.

Hi@ Lexsion , Apologies for delay in response.

I have marked your ticket on priority and keeping an eye on it and will push things on fast track.

Regards,

Hello Anna, it has been two months and yet I am still struggling with this. I gave the developer access to my site and now my site is no longer working. I am really upset here.

It will be back soon after necessary maintenance and upgradation.

I am working with a company that is using this theme. It was purchased by a past developer who implemented it but now we have some issues that we are unable to resolve without documentation, etc. How can we reach you to make arrangements for a new support agreement, etc.?

Hi @ btvbill , Can you please message here with the account that was used to purchase theme. How long before you bought the theme ?

Regards,

Hello. I have questions before buying this theme, but I saw that the last update was in May 2016. Will there still be updated and updated wordpress support? You are using wordpress 4.6.1 and I see that you still have problems with clients. Is everything ok with the theme, can I buy and still have updates and support for wordpress?

Hi @donnysantos , Thanks for your kind interest in our theme.

Yes, Updates are planned and will deliver soon. Support team is here to support from theme installation to complete theme setup.

Google Map functionality isn’t working and your change log doesn’t list a fix? It says there is an issue with the Map API.

Hi @henslecd , Google have changed his policies about showing Google maps on your site. This alteration is made by Google to acquire Google Map API key for Google Maps. Please follow your ticket#855677 along with admin and ftp login details so that support agent can add API key for you.

Thanks!

Every now and then (it doesn’t happen all the time), I am getting all of these errors about line 241 of the functions-theme.php. The page still loads, but all this appears at the bottom. What is the problem?

Thanks anna-smith. Quick follow-up question—how will the “official announcement” that this theme is now compatible with the latest WP be announced? Is there somewhere to sign up for email updates from your team?

Hi – I downgraded to WordPress 4.4.1 and I am STILL getting all the errors at the bottom of the page about line 241 of the functions-theme.php

Hi @sorensjc , Please create a ticket at Chimp Support Portal and provide your url and login details. Issue will be seen and sorted there.

Thanks!

I am trying to find the setup page with the instructions/walkthrough when you first install the theme, but I can’t remember where that link was. Do you have a URL?

Hi @sorensjc , Please be advised, We have given a detailed documentation for this reason to help our respected clients. It will reduce the solution time for you and will enable you to handle your site yourself without external help. You can find documentation in the theme’s package that you had downloaded from theme forest.

Hi, I purchased this them 2 years ago. I love the theme and have used it to create another site as well. I’m now encountering an issue on one of my sites where I am unable to customize the them, add or edit the content on of my pages on the backend, and access the screen option tab in the dashboard. There has been no changes prior to the errors I am receiving. Are there any updates to this them? Can you please help me? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!

Hi @atlantae , Thanks for liking our theme so far. :) Can you please share me error screenshot which you are facing were i can check and compare.

Hi, I started this support ticket #643150. However, the last time I heard back from you was on 8/30/2016 and today is 9/21/2016. The menu on google chrome and safari does not work on cell phone devices. If I click on a sub menu and scroll down, then the entire menu disappears. You can see what I mean by viewing this video: https://chavezwebdesign.box.com/s/i76f5wwfa2ybmnoc5mj96wmu3m6sv8f6 Could you please give me a response on the solution to this problem? I am sure your future clients would also appreciate it since the problem is also happening on the current theme you are selling here: http://chimpgroup.com/wp-demo/westand/. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

Hi @iammotivated333, Please follow your ticket you will be replied soon over there.

Hi there, I am just about to purchase this theme but want to double check that I will be able to get the PSDs after purchase? Also, can I change the colour of the header and footer and the bit behind the page title? thanks

Hi @Annabel_, Yes, psds for westand theme are available after purchase and colors can be changed. Yes, Unlimited colors schemes are available. You may see here: http://prntscr.com/c6upc6

Regards, Anna!

Hi @anna thanks for this that is really useful – I have emailed in a support ticket to ask for the PSDs now but sent it to General Enquiries as the other subject wasn’t available. Please have a look for it and send them across as soon as possible.

Hi @Annabel_, Please follow your ticket and follow the procedure guided to you and you will be provided PSD’s. Regards, Oliver!

Since the last update, when adding a location to the events section, the “search this location on map” is not working, and we have to manually find it in the map by zooming and dragging the marker. Any fix for this?

Hello @christina_schneider,

This is unfortunately a change Google made and is now required (but our team had already fix it) for google map to place your API key.

Please create a ticket at Chimp Support and provide your url and login details. Issue will be resolved there.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have issues with Cyrilic letters n events.. there is some sign instead of letter.. can you help me with this? also i would like to know is it possible to put background image on ANY of the rows on page.. I would like to have twitter feed with some backgroundimage..

One more thing.. is it possible to CENTER the Flex Slider image instead to show only the TOP of the image..

I really need your help here.. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks

Best regards, Amer

1. As the theme is xml based and render through xml. As soon as you will add any special character or any html tag, it will display error at the end.

2. Yes, it can be possible via css.

3. It requires customization to put background image behind twitter feeds.

Error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/techopormigente/public_html/wp-content/themes/westand/include/team.php on line 1

Hi @ NARANJAAREA. Thank you for your purchase and feedback. Please renew your support license so that I may better able to assist. That error appears because of space at the start of file because of improper theme up gradation. Edit your following file via ftp remove the space before <?php tag in that file. Your issue will resolve.
