Hi I am using Magento v2.1.1 and have Porto v2.3.4.1

Do I need to unzip both of the following files to my magento webroot, or just the first one? It is unclear whether I also need the patch from the install instructions.

Porto Theme.zip

Porto Theme(Magento 2.1 Patch).zip

Since the patch is not labeled 2.1.x like the 2.0.x patch, I am assuming that it does not need to be installed on Magneto 2.1.1. Please respond to clarify this.

Thanks.

Yes, you should do that. Pls contact me if you need any further question

Regards

On future theme updates will I need to apply the Magento 2.1 patch again?

You No need to apply theme patch again

I did some testing for load times and the results are not all that great, can you please comment and indicate if you have a plan to improve load times? On less powerful mobile devices the load times may be even greater. :(

Cart / Checkout – Completion / Page Load times test:

(Range of 3 time trials – without clearing browser cache)

(Test on reasonably powerful business laptop with good wifi)

For all browsers main page loads in about 4 seconds on my laptop. Ideally this should be 3 or under.

Results for the next tests do not look very appealing, especially with adding an item to cart. Most other demos have an items added and number displayed to the quick view mini-cart in 1-2 seconds max.

I like your product and I believe in you guys, so I hope you are working on significantly improving these load times. I have not tested these load times in production (as I just purchased), but I hope they are much better than the demos.

Thanks for using Porto,

The speeed issue is a known issue of Magento 2, it still can not bring customers satisfaction. There are some common reasons:

- Your web server

- Overgrown database & logs

- Slowness of Magento default cache engine,

- Extension overload

- Sizes of images on the site

- Cache

Regards

Thanks for you comments. I am just speaking from observations on the official Porto live demos for Magento 2 at

http://www.newsmartwave.net/?theme=porto_mg

Which I assume would be optimized, like other live demos for other Magento 2 themes, so that the bullet points you mention in your comment above have less of an impact.

Six seconds to add an item to the Quick View – Mini-cart (on a Porto live demo) is too long a time in comparison to other live demos that take 1-2 seconds and that operate under the same conditions i.e. Magento 2 (with all its deficiencies).

I am hoping that,

1. The point I am making here is recognized instead of being directed away as a Magento 2 deficiency.

2. So that the source of the issue can be addressed with improvements and updates to the Porto theme, so that item load time are comparable to other Magento 2 themes.

3. On my decent production server, I have significantly better load time performance, that puts me on par or performing better than other Magento 2 themes.

I believe in you, and I hope that points 1 and 2 in this comment are important priorities for the developers of the Porto theme for Magento 2. I you can bring these point up at a managers/developers meeting I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

1. What is the earliest and latest IOS version that is supported? I ask because I notices on my old iphone 4s, ipad 2 – 1024×768 (portrait position) , and ipad mini (from 3 years back), that there were several glitches loading the demos (including that I could not got to the shopping cart from the mini-cart menu, because the bottom of the mini-cart menu gets cut out). (This also happens on my T440s Lenovo laptop (1920×1080) on both chrome and firefox). Updating IOS version is a pain for most and it is common to stay on the stock IOS version if things aren’t broken. People buy more often now from mobile devices so this is important.

2. Are all the demos on your website using the latest Porto release?

3. I also noticed that the documentation in the latest purchase download (v2.3.4.1) is several version ahead of the online documentation. The online documentation is often more easy to access. Is there a plan to keep the online documentation for magento 2 up to date at http://www.newsmartwave.net/magento2/porto/documentation/

Thanks for using Porto,

1. Pls open new ticket at https://smartwave.freshdesk.com/helpdesk to get the check for your issue

2. Yes, we use Porto latest version on all demos

3. Yes, we will update documentation asap

Regards

I appreciate your response. I will open a new ticket for 1.

There is no way to know other than the change log section, if the documentation is behind. ...So people may easily use outdated documentation online without even knowing it. So always keeping the online documentation up to date for Magneto 2 is important.

Thanks.

Yes, we are aware of the importance of keeping the online documentation up to date. We will try to update the guide asap

Regards

Additionally, I would like to ask about:-

1-I modify top links and no matter how many I add, it only shows the last 2 items 2-Contact us page is not showing. Not even in your demo8 for magento2

Pls open new ticket with your issue at https://smartwave.freshdesk.com/helpdesk. We will check this.

Regards

In product view for demo 8 with Magento 2.1.0 and Porto 2.3.2, I want to:-

1-Move compare/wishlist to top (before custom block) 2-Show social share icons

Related product in side bar seems to have some js issue because when I mouse over on related products images, the rollover images shows beneath base image. It should show in place of base image

Thanks for using Porto,

1. You should edit file app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

2 . Sorry, social share feature is not currently available

3. Regarding related product hover issue, how can i check this pls?

Regards

3. check thedevelopers.website

After customer login, the mobile ‘Account’-menu shows all links twice (the ‘Sign Out’-link even 3 times). Tested this on your demo pages where this also happens.

THanks for using Porto,

Could you please purchase support extension to get further support? Your 6 months of support period is now expired. Once you purchase support extension, please contact us through themeforest support page again with your issue details.

Regards,

Good morning, I have to decide about the purchase. - I found a difficulty when you visit a page of an article from a cell phone, it’s hard to to scroll the page because the picture occupies almost the entire screen and does not allow vertical scrolling of the page. - For the installation there is also a complete quickstart magento 2? - SSH access is strictly necessary?

Best regards

Good morning, I made a video to show you that the Luma theme works well

https://youtu.be/3KoY0Zz_fGg

This is surely an issue of Magento. Did you try to check this post https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/5302? Could you pls send me the link to your magento luma. Then i can check this also

Good morning,

This is a test page where the scroll works well with Luma

How can I change the cart icon in the header ? I understand it is a font and styling is done via the files in: \app\design\frontend\Smartwave\[mychildtheme]\Magento_Checkout\web\css\source\module\ , but I am not sure exactly where/how to add another icon and where to select it to be displayed instead of the shopping bag.

Using Magento 2.1.1, Porto 2.3.4.1 with header Type 8.

Can you please explain what to change exactly in _minicart.less so I can change the icon used ? I tried to change these two lines but to no effect:

@_dropdown-toggle-icon-content: @icon-mini-cart,
@_dropdown-toggle-active-icon-content: @icon-mini-cart,

At the moment I am using Font Awesome 4.6.2 for some other icons across the page but not sure how to change the cart one with one from Font Awesome.

In _minicart.less, y ou will see the following content

@_dropdown-toggle-icon-content: @icon-mini-cart, @_dropdown-toggle-active-icon-content: @icon-mini-cart

theme will get the icon from: app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto/web/css/source/_variables.less

Thank you !

You should read my ticket – Porto was installed on a FRESH magento 2.1.1 installation on a staging site. No other themes were installed, so don’t know what you are talking about “ultimo” ? By the way, layered navigation WAS buggy when I first installed onto fresh magento 2 and I could never get it working properly – I am referring to SW Extensions layered nav. Also, please update your documentation to reflect 2.1.1 . I found that when importing the demo it never seemed to match with your online information.

Thanks for your reply,

Everybody know that In magento 2.1.x, they moved some elements’s position . However, Import function fof theme on Magento 2.1 is same with other versions. Pls check the comment in your ticket.

I’m interested in purchasing Porto theme for a ecommerce website in operation since 2011, but I want to know if all theme elements are compatible with Magento 1.7.02, and if with the license I can install to 2 different instances. I have a test site set up on a different server, so I can test design element changes and then if satisfied make changes on our ecommerce site. Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for interested in Porto theme,

Yes, our theme is fully compatible with Magento 1.7.x. Regarding your question about license, cccording to the ThemeForest license each regular license entitles you to use the theme in a single website, but you can also install the theme on your test server (e.g. on localhost) for testing purposes (that version shouldn’t be available to the public).

Is it possible to reduce the height of the image on the product page? my pics are horizontal so I’ll have a lot of blank space…

Thanks for interested in Porto,

In Porto M1 theme, You can configure the theme to keep the original aspect ratio of the product images. Height of the images will be calculated automatically based on width.

The theme can also resize the image to make it square (Magento’s default behavior) – empty space will be filled with white color.

Hi,

I am about to purchase theme for Magento 2. If I purchase it directly from here, how will I get to know if we have downloaded it for M2 or M1.

Also, the sizing swatches seems to be an extension & not part of the theme. Why are you showing it as part of the theme when it isn’t ?

Pls feel free to ask us any question you may have. It’s our pleasure to support you.

Regards

Hi,

Thanks.

Just in case if we go with M1, do you have any guide to apply the theme patch for the color / size swatches theme ?

Is it possible to make size/color options visible in the category page as it is visible in M2, where as the same options aren’t visible in M1.

Thanks for your reply,

We offer the patch theme for Color Swatches Products. You will need to upload this theme patch if you want to use color swatches features. This is core functionality of Magento default. Pls try to refer this http://www.venustheme.com/configurable-swatches-guide-for-magento-1-9-1/

HI, How to show Sold Out instead of the add to cart button?

Thanks for using Porto,

“Out of stock” message is also displayed in the category view. If product is out of stock, the message replaces the “Add to car” button. You can change Out Of Stock message to Sold Out by using Translate Inline feature of magento default.

Regards

Hello i have set the quantity to 0 but on frontend is displayed “add to cart button” Regards

Thanks for using Porto,

This is not theme related, You may need to flush Magento cache to see that message ” Out of Stock” in your store.
