before buying: is it easy to generate a onepager?

Hi there,

Yes, there is a smooth scrolling plugin built-in that allows you to easily connect in-page links, either inside the builder or in pure HTML.

Cheers, Craig

Hello, I can’t find how to set notifications like your demo page http://pillar.mediumra.re/elements-notifications.html# Is there a simple way to create or must i create an html code ? (sorry, i’m a beginner…. :) )

Hi there,

You’ll need to create the notifications in the exported HTML page after the builder. You can read more about how to set them up in the template documentation here: http://foundry.mediumra.re/docs/foundry_docs/index.html

Cheers, Craig

thanks !

Hello.

I need to pass the URL of the current page as a hidden field through the form when it’s submitted. Please tell me how?

Thanks!

Hi, please open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com and we’ll be able to support you there :) James

Hello James. I try to send the ticket, but “My Purchase code doesn’t seem to be valid”. What can i do? Thanks

Please try again, you should now be able to “Sign in with Envato” when using Ticksy so you will no longer need to use purchase codes :)

please tell me how to make Stacked Bar transparent top cover?

Hi there,

The stacked bar is not intended to sit over the top of the content as the heigh would likely interfere with the content below at smaller laptop screen sizes

Where is the layered PNG file located in the download?

Hi there,

The layered PNG file refers to any PNG with transparency found in the images folder.

Craig

really looking forward to Instagram feed gallery

Thanks – we’ve left it out for now until we find a more simple way for customers to connect their feeds. The recent Instagram API changes have made the process a little more complicated than it ought to be

Would love to see you guys design a template for directories and marketplaces, e.g. Airbnb sort of sites.

There’s tons of them here, and they sell well, but they’re mostly horrible and in dire need of some Medium Rare treatment ;-)

Great Idea! Something to keep in mind. Thanks

Hi there, before purchasing I would need to know if the home split cover supports multiple images in the same size (a slide) not just one image: http://pillar.mediumra.re/home-business-split-cover.html Thanks, Mauro

Hi,

Yes this is possible :) It would need to be done in HTML (outside Variant) but we can assist you at http://mediumrare.ticksy.com if you need.

James

Perfect :-) Thanks James!

No problem :)

Well to name a few alternatives -

1. https://www.wpbeaverbuilder.com

2. https://www.elegantthemes.com/plugins/divi-builder/

3. http://www.csshero.org (at the very least it’s not a builder but it can be used to tweak the site

4. Here is an implementation of the beaver builder - https://themeforest.net/item/responsive-wordpress-theme-caliber/15486952?s_rank=1

The thing is visual composer works but it’s not clean and stream such as in the case of Variant.

Lastly I read that the way the blog works it has to be feed from a particular CMS does this mean it will not work with in a stand alone HTML environment?

I’d like to know also know: Does Variant allow you to add all elements on a page or is it just certain ones. If I know i can build all the part of my site using it that makes sense and if I can why the need for visual composer?

Thank you!

My other question is can an entire page be built with only Variant.

Yes an entire page can be built with Variant, but you may only use the blocks you see in the list on the left hand side (we are talking HTML version now, not WP…) You can put together single page sites (links can smooth scroll between sections) or you can set up multipage – or any combination of both.

Have to agree with @joshuanet about Visual Composer on the WP version – it’s virtually unusable not to mention bloated!

I have purchased a few WP themes with VC plugin, including Foundry, and have never been able to use any of them. Total waste of money.

We love using Variant to compose our sites and then use the new CMS capabilities in the Pinegrow editor to edit the content:

http://docs.pinegrow.com/editing/pinegrow-cms-for-static-html-websites

There’s too many WP themes now using Visual Composer for websites that should really be static. For these sort of sites it’s like using a jackhammer to crack an egg!

Thanks for the feedback Birdeenums – we will pass it along to Tom, our WP partner. We’re also thrilled to hear that you like using Variant and I can agree that in certain cases, a light-touch CMS is a more performant solution.

Best, Craig

Will you guys in the near future ever make your video playback as smooth as the one on this page – http://www.instrument.com/a-v/

We agree it is a great effect, and it is a nice looking site, although we do not plan to implement it at this time. James

Thank you James…. Also the license for Pillar will not allow me to build my own builder for it right?

No it won’t allow that. Each site where our product is used requires a new single license.

Question why did Tomm create the wordpress version and not you guys? I think variant is much more organized that Visual Composer and definitely more light weight.

Hi there,

Tom is a WordPress expert and handles all conversions of our templates to WordPress. As you can understand, there are many complexities when working within the WordPress environment that make the implementation of Variant impossible at this time.

Variant’s strength is outputting pure HTML in a static document.

Thanks for providing the alternatives, we’ll pass this feedback along to Tom.

Best regards, Craig

Is it possible to have photosets in the lightbox gallery? I want to click on one image in the gallery and have the lightbox pop up with a multiple image carousel. So far I can only figure out how to do one image at a time.

Hi there,

Yes this is possible – just give each image the same ‘data-lightbox’ value to group them. For example: data-lightbox=”Gallery 1”

Cheers, Craig

Pillar WordPress theme by Tommusrhodus is now available here on Themeforest!

How can fix the navigation menu when scrolls on mobile?

Hi there,

Add this to custom.css:

@media all and (max-width: 767px){nav..nav—fixed{position:fixed;}}

Cheers, Craig

Hi. How could I see all the icons with the correct name of the classes? Thanks!

Hi there,

If you’d like to open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com I can send you the full package.

Thanks, Craig

Private Ticket #871792

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay – we’re responding to these tickets now.

Craig

Hello, I sent you a mail on the last ticket I posted. The subject I have problem with is the Form on this page – its not submitting. I have tried many things, I don’t know, the frustrating part is that the form is live and people are already filling.

I will rather have the form removed if it cannot submit but another problem is that. As soon as I remove the FORM DIV, the other content on the image jumps to under the NAV menu. The removal of the form displaces the Video Overview icon and other contents on the picture.

I will prefer that the form be reduced to just Name, Email & Phone No. plus submission into the customerservice@aniwura.com email.

Please help, I tried to create a new ticket for this issue on your support site, but it was not possible because it kept complaining about my purchase code which is the same that I used to post the first ticket.

This site is already LIVE. Please help. thanks.

I already sent you CPanel and Email Login parameters as well..

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay – we’re responding to these tickets now.

Craig

It is a awsome HTML package. I will share my result that is made by this soon. Thanks for a fantastic product.

Thanks for purchasing! Looking forward to seeing what you create with Pillar :)

Craig

Hi ! This theme rocks! I just wanted to report a bug. I don’t know if this is the correct channel, but anyway.

When i’m using the data-latlong attribute on the map-container, the Google Map crashes. I just fixed it by changing the line 718 in the scripts.js file, to this:

map                 = new google.maps.Map(mapInstance, mapOptions);

Keep up the good work !

Best regards!

Hi, Your suggested change does not appear to be any different to what is in the original file… Was there a mistake? I’ll investigate this bug now.
