When I password protect a page, the password field, to enter a password, doesn’t show up on the mobile version. Is this something that can be fixed? It’s important that everyone can enter the password on their phone.
I suppose there was a section separator overlays on the password form so it won’t show up on the mobile.
Thank you for reporting this issue, it will be fixed in the next update.
Also, you can fix it right now by adding the custom CSS in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as below:
<style type="text/css">
.post-password-form {
max-width: 1170px;
margin: auto;
padding: 50px 0 100px;
}
</style>
I was curious how I can change the contact info located at the bottom of the mobile navigation slide-out. It appears that I’ve changed the contact everywhere else successfully, but don’t see a place for modifying the mobile sidebar. Thank you for your help.
Never mind, I found it under Theme Options > Navigation!
Sure, glad to hear that you’ve figured it out.
Hey there – I’m having trouble with the responsiveness of the website, specifically in regards to the slider: the main text is way too big on mobile devices. Editing the CSS in the Theme Options section of the WP backend is getting messy because it appears that the slider’s text is SUPPOSED to be responsive. Can you help? Thanks! Here’s the test site: http://2016newsite.wolfcreekbackcountry.com/
Hi there,
You can set the slider styles for each screen size.
Edit the slider settings, enable Custom Grid Sizes for mobile (and tablet if you’d like), and save changes.
After you enable Custom Grid Sizes, edit the slide in your slider. You will see the mobile screen on the tool bar, so you can set different styles (such as varying font-sizes) for mobile and each enabled “Custom Grid Size”.
See more on how to setup Custom Grid Sizes -> https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-setup/#custom-grid-sizes
Hi
I was wondering how you can create the header you have on this page?
http://preview.themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/15344205?_ga=1.221896280.195998346.1425033955I have been able to find the rest of the page through downloading the demo however, I can’t work out hoe the header was created. I really love it!
Thank you 
Hi,
This one?
The above header is just a row.
Here is how we did it:
1. Add a new row, set the background image for this row. 2. The headings at the center is an image, you can add it by using the Single Image element. 3. We add 2 columns at both top and bottom of the headings. 4. Edit these columns one by one to set the Responsive Options for each column to hide it on mobile and tablet so they won't show up on small screens.
No, this page:
http://preview.themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/15344205?_ga=1.221896280.195998346.1425033955it’s the about me page with Ellie Gray. What I am really interested in is how it fades the white as you scroll down.
I downloaded the demo to see show you set it up and it is not in the demo content as a row. Also, I can’t seem to make my content full with even when I have reduce the padding and specifically put in ‘full with” in the row settings. It was working the other day bun now my content won reach the side of the page. Can you help with this, may be there is a setting I am missing? Thanks
No worries, i think I worked it out from the question above!
My apologies, I thought it’s a main page, it’s because your link always brings me to the main page of demo.
When you view our demo on ThemeForest, it will display our demo inside the frame through the ThemeForest website and the link always displays as ThemeForest URL.
You’ll need to click on “Remove Frame” at the right top corner to see the actual URL of each page.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear that you’ve figured it out.
Hi! I would like to have for all posts the tile area show mode? It’s possible? thank you
Hi,
By default, the title area is disabled on the blog single post. You’ll need to enable it when you add/edit the post.
Please follow this:
1. You should setup the default title area styles in Theme Options -> Title Area.
2. When you add or edit the post, you will see the Title Area tab in Overlap Options at the bottom of the page, choose the title area settings for the post, see below image:
I post on the blog 300 ?!:)
Unfortunately, it’s disabled by default in the current version.
However, we will add new option for you to change the default status of the title area for the post in Theme Options -> Blog -> Blog Single Post in the next update.
very welcome update! in the blog post overlap I can remove links and magnifying glass?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c6f2nuz7foixs2w/Schermata%202016-09-26%20alle%2017.25.10.png?dl=0Looks like that is a portfolio post because there is no a magnifying glass on the blog post.
The portfolio posts always link to their own details page, this is on purpose. If you wouldn’t like the links, you should use the Image Gallery element instead since it also have the masonry and grid layouts like the portfolio grid but it won’t bring you to the details page.
Hi,
Can I use another font which named “Gotham” in the website?
Thank you.
Onur.
Sure, you can use custom font in the theme but you have to define and use it via CSS in your child theme as below:
1. Install and activate overlap-child-theme.zip.
2. Upload your font files to "wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/fonts/" on your server.
3. Navigate to Appearance -> Editor on WordPress admin to edit Overlap Child theme.
4. Add the custom CSS to Stylesheet (style.css) as below:
/* Definition */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Gotham';
src:url('fonts/Gotham.eot');
src:url('fonts/Gotham.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/Gotham.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/Gotham.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/Gotham.svg') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
/* Use */
body,
h2,
h3,
.gotham-font {
font-family: 'Gotham', Arial, sans-serif;
}
I am transfering my website from an other theme to the Overlap theme. I have a few questions or problems now: 1) Do I have to re-entry or remake all portfolio items since in the other theme all the items are under ‘PORTFOLIO’ in the left sidebar on wordpress.org and now with the overlap theme they are all in ‘PORTFOLIOS’ (with an S).
2) I the meantime I am ‘remaking’ all the portfolio entries and at first they appeared just fine in the ‘overlap-layout’ with a picture in the left upper square, with the texted overlapped and the other pictures underneath in a row… but now I was changing some things in the ‘theme options’ and the ‘customizer’ to find some things and test some things out and suddenly the portfolio single posts are not in the overlap layout anymore. They start with the photos underneath one another, wide. and then underneath you see the text. but just in a normal layout, not the overlap. What did I change and how can I set it back? Because when I go to edit the text, I still have chosen the first overlap portfolio layout with the overlap.
3) How do I define my portfolio archive page? I can choose my blog-page and I can choose my static home page, but I don’t find how I can set which one is my portfolios archive page…?
I hope my questions are clear. It seems a lot of work to transfer or remake all the 55 portfolio entries I allready had on my website, so it would be nice if there was some solution…
THANKS a lot in advance!
I have extra information on nr 2 : when I am remaking the portfolio entries… it is shown perfectly (when I hit preview) if I only save it as ‘concept’ and when I’m working on it… but from the moment I publish it… the overlap layout dissapears and it goes to the weird, boring layout with the pictures very big first and underneath the text.
1. Sure, you have to re-entry your portfolio posts in this theme.
The portfolio is a custom post type that came with the theme. Almost of the themes on ThemeForest market have their own different portfolio post types to prevent the conflict issue.
The built-in portfolio is different from the portfolio plugin. When you’re using the portfolio plugin, you can use it in any other themes.
But when you’re using the portfolio from the theme, your portfolio posts are only available in the same theme author. You’ll need to re-create them all when you change the theme to other ones from another author.
2. I’m not sure what wrong on your portfolio settings because I’ve never seen this problem before. Try to enable the Display Featured Image in Theme Options -> Portfolio -> Portfolio Single Post to see if it works.
If it doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
3. You don’t need to define the portfolio archive page since you can create multiple archive pages to display your portfolio list. Please follow this:
1) Create a new page, then add a Portfolio Grid element by using the Visual Composer to the page.
2) Choose the portfolio list layout in the View option, then choose any options as your needs.
Hi,
When is the next update? Accordion doens’t work well.
Greetings
I don’t have the Envato Market-system in it.
The Accordion issue has been fixed in the latest update 1.2.2. This update has been released in a couple of days ago. Please update the theme to fix it.
When we release the new update, you will receive a notification email letting you know there is a new update available.
If you have no Envato Market plugin installed, you can download it in the Downloads tab on ThemeForest.
Hi, I update the new version but it still doesn’t work.
Try this:
http://wydethemes.com/overlap/elements/accordion/As you can see on our demo that is running on the latest update of the Overlap theme, the first accordion is working fine, it allows you to close all sections.
I saw it but it still doesn’t work on my website.
If you have a cache plugin installed, please empty all caches and try again.
If it doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so I can investigate this issue and help you out.
Another question: I received an email about an update but I can’t find the download link when I get to your website.
You can download it in the Downloads tab on your ThemeForest here -> https://themeforest.net/downloads
Choose “All files & documentation”.
Also, please login with the account who have purchased the theme.
Also, you can download and update it on your WordPress dashboard by using the Envato Market plugin.
For more details on updating the theme, please see the instructions in our documentation.
What I see looks like a full install, not an update. Is the procedure just downloading the new version full install of the theme and re-installing it? I don’t see any download link that has the mention update with it.
Sure, the theme updating is the same as the full theme installing.
If you update it manually, you will need to upload the whole theme folder to replace the old one on your host.
Otherwise, please use the Envato Market plugin to update the theme so you can install the update easily on your WordPress admin.
The second option sounds easier. Where can I find the Envato Market Plugin?
You’ll need to setup this plugin before using it. It requires your purchase code. So please follow the instructions in our documentation on how to install and setting up the plugin.
I don’t understand, did it come with the package I downloaded together with the theme? I didn’t see any plugin in there. About the documentation, I have a file that says documentation, but it’s just a batch of three folders, images, CSS and JS. How do I access that?
The plugin doesn’t include in the package but we’ve provided the download link and the instructions on how to use it in our documentation.
The documentation is in the folder named “3 – Documentation”, you will find the HTML file named “index.html” in this folder, open it with Chrome or any web browsers to see the content.
If you couldn’t find the HTML file, please try to download “All files & documentation” from ThemeForest again.
Got it, and installed the plug in. Documentation has been useful as well, thanks!
Glad to hear that
Hello I have purchased your corporate overlap theme and have started building a website. I like the theme lay-out and don’t want to change it that much when making my own site. On the front home page, first section “a bit about us – we are overlap” on the demo there are two small pictures covering each other. I like that but can’t replicate it. Lower in the corporate page there is another ” a bit about us, we are overlap” section with a big picture on one side and content and a counter widget on the right side of it. My content and counter keep ending up below the picture, what am I doing wrong? my page is www.savvygarments.com Thanks!
Hello,
1. It’s just a graphic. It’s easier if you made it from the Photoshop or any other graphic applications, then add it into the Single Image element, this is an image what you’re looking for -> http://wydethemes.com/overlap/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/overlap-pic-001-2.jpg
2. Looks like you’ve figured it out because it looks good now, see the below image:
However, you should set the text in the counter box to suit the column width so it will display in only one line and align in the same line.
1. ok clear about the graphic. No problem to do that in photoshop. Just thought maybe it was a feature of the theme. 2. on my end it does not look like that, I have both the text and the counterbores underneath the picture. That is so strange! It’s frustrating, how do I get it to look like it does on your end?
I suppose this is browser issue. There was an issue with the flex row (Equal Height Columns) on Safari. If you’re using this browser, you will have the problem on displaying that section. This issue will be fixed in the next update.
ok, got it. Which browser do you recommend for best result when working with your theme?
Actually we’ve tested our themes with all major browsers.
As seen on our Corporate demo ( http://wydethemes.com/overlap/home/home-corporate/ ), we’ve tried it with Safari on both iMac and Mackbook, they’re all working fine.
However, we’d recommend you to use Chrome since it’s the most popular browser today (refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers ) and we always use it as the primary browser when we develop our themes.
I have a simple, yet frustrating issue. I simply need to center the “Get in Touch” button as seen on Home-Creative Agency. I have copied the same layout as in the demo on my page, but my alignment is left while the demo is centered. When I go to edit the button, there is no selection for alignment in the edit box. Is there a trick to this I am missing?
The text alignment settings are in the Column and Row settings.
Edit the column or the row to change the Text Alignment to Center.
Hii..how to remove shadow under header or menu
You can add the custom CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as below:
<style type="text/css">
#header:before,
#header.w-fixed:before{
box-shadow: none;
}
</style>
Thank You too much..
I need to enter coordinates into the map instead of an address (my location is a point in the woods). http://2016newsite.wolfcreekbackcountry.com/contact/ Is that possible?
Hi again, I figured out how to enter the coordinates instead of the address, but is there a way to display a title in the map view that is different from the coordinates? A hack, maybe?
Sure, you can change the title in the Address field so it will display in the map info window.
After you set the title in the Address field, you can drag & drop the marker on the map to move it to anywhere.
Yes, thank you, I did see that dragging the marker was possible. However, I was wondering if there was a way to manually insert the coordinates, as they are very specific/touchy/important points that could potentially be a matter of survival/safety if slightly off.
Unfortunately, in the current version we have only one input field to insert the address or coordinates, sure you can insert the coordinates directly to the address field but it will display as the text on the map pop-up instead of the address.
To work around this, if you put the name of your place into the address field but the marker isn’t in the right location, you’ll need to move it to the right position yourself.
However, we’re looking into this, maybe we will add a new input field to manually insert the coordinates in the future update.
Thank you for your questions and suggestions!
Is there a way to see the coordinates or edit the coordinates in the back-end after moving the marker? I can’t get all the markers in their correct location otherwise.
I’m sorry but there is no way to see the coordinates after moving the marker in the current version. Please wait for the next update instead.
Hello Wyde, I need to know how to set the shop on the overlap template. I’ve read all the instructions but there is no documentation on woo commerce or how to to set it up. on your demo i see the shop. Should i install woocomerce before i upload the demo files?
please let me know as soon as you can.
Thank you!!
cheers
The shop pages have been set by WooCommerce plugin directly.
Once you install WooCommerce plugin, you will see the setup wizard to setup the shop pages as you see on our demos.
Also, when you import demo content, if you’ve WooCommerce plugin installed, you will get the shop page settings automatically.
However, the demo content in this theme includes only the shop page settings. It doesn’t include the demo products. You should import demo products from WooCommerce plugin manually, see more on importing WooCommerce demo content here -> https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/importing-woocommerce-dummy-data/
Great!! It all works!!
Thanx!!
No problem
Hello Wyde, i’m also impressed with the great overlap theme. I need to know if you have a shop version that i can use right away? I would help me greatly!!
pleas ele me know if not i will have to purchase a half decent woocommerce and not use Overlap.
tahnx!!
best regards.
Hello,
You’ll need to install WooCommerce plugin to use the shop pages and all shop features in this theme.
This theme is compatible with WooCommerce plugin, we’d recommend the latest update of this plugin to make sure it will be working without any compatibility issue.
Thank you for the answer. Really appreciate it.
It’s my pleasure 
Hey there, I’m wondering how to display only specific testimonials from one category in Testimonials slider. I see there is a place to enter taxonomies, but it doesn’t seem to let me type anything in there – it just gets erased.
Hi there,
Please make sure you’ve set the category for your testimonial posts.
To display only specific posts from one or more categories.
1. On your admin page, edit the testimonial posts in Testimonials one by one to set a category for each post, then update the post.
2. Edit the Testimonials Slider element, click on Build query and put a category name into the Taxonomies field.
Thank you for the steps – however, when I go to type in “summer” for the category in the query builder, as soon as I leave the field (by clicking “tab”, by clicking manually to the next field, or by clicking the “save changes” button), the field erases its content automatically and nothing is saved – like it doesn’t accept that type of entry.
What’s the current version of your WordPress? There is an issue of query builder on the old version of WordPress, please make sure you’re using WordPress 4.6 or above.
Yes, I’m using 4.6.1
If you have other plugins installed, try to deactivate them all to see if it works.
If it doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and admin login credentials -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Since i´ve made the last update i have a problem with the demo content. I got the following error message:
WARNING: Import demo content requires Overlap Demo Content plugin. Please make sure you have this plugin installed and activated. See more details in our documentation.
How can i get the demo content plugin?
Thanks for your help
best regards Daniel
In the latest update, we’ve added the Media to the demo content, this makes the theme file gets very large, so we separate it into a new plugin instead.
You will need to download “All files & documentation” from the Downloads tab on ThemeForest. You will see the Overlap Demo Content plugin inside the package. Also, you will get the new update of documentation, you can follow the instructions to install and to use it.
Hey,
where can I find and change the error 404 site? Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
You can edit it in your child theme.
1. Install and activate overlap-child-theme.zip.
2. Copy the 404 template from Overlap theme “wp-content/themes/overlap/404.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/404.php”.
3. Edit the file 404.php in your child theme as your needs.
Or can can I also translate the error404 file ? If yes, where? In the error404.php file directly?
All static words in the theme are available in the POT file that’s ready for translation. You can edit/translate this file by using POEdit -> https://poedit.net/download.
To translate your theme, please follow these:1. Open POEdit, then choose File -> New from POT/PO files. 2. Choose overlap.pot from "overlap/languages/overlap.pot". 3. Find the word and translate it. 4. Save it in your WordPress current language such as "de_DE.po", then you will also get "de_DE.mo". 5. Install and activate the overlap-child-theme.zip. 6. Upload both "de_DE.po" and "de_DE.mo" files to "wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/languages/".See more on how to use the POEdit -> https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/poedit/
Hi, where can I find the function, Toggle Title 1? Where I can close the accordeon? Greetings
Hi,
This is a bug of the Accordion elements, you couldn’t close all sections, in the current version it requires at least 1 section to show, it will be fixed in the next update that will available within 24 hours.
Hi, the wide version 4 column doesn’t work well. The images aren’t wide in the columns. Als there is a lot of white on the right.
Greetings!
Hi,
Please make sure your image is larger than the column width because it won’t stretch automatically if you add it into Single Image element.
Also, please choose the Size option in the Single Image element settings that suits the column width.
