Hi, I’ve just purchased your theme and want to set up my site to look/function as close to this: http://www.pirenko-themes.com/hook/worker/ demo of yours as possible…where should I start? Or is there a tutorial for that kind of thing?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
You can check the theme documentation or the video tutorials here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiviR4wWrsHM_wjmk_3dU70ztVA72q1l
Anyway, install the theme and then install that demo under Appearance>One-click install. Then you apply the theme options under Appearance>Theme Options>Import/Export (the skins are located on the theme Documentation folder).
If you still need help, please send us a private message (contact form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/pirenko ) with a link and we’ll assist you.

Hi Pirenko just purchased Hook. I want to set up Services but can’t find them in Widges and whereever. I want to have a look as in landing page way down in the contact area.I want to link from colums (with an icon and description) like that to pages in my website second:I have enterred the recent post widget into my static page but can’t find any way to adjust the look. It would be good enaugh to have there already somthing like three boxes similar to the “standard ” masonary look on the blog page. third how have you enterred maps? (as in http://www.pirenko-themes.com/hook/business/ ) just with a textfield or with an widget. Haven’t found something like that yet in the quick installs yet…. Where are the icons Hidden? not through Media?

Looking forward to your answer and greetings to downunder

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
We suggest that you perform the one-click install to create some pages. Then you can edit them using the page builder that is included with the theme.

Hello, i am Italian. The “visual composer” no charge on many pages, solution? Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Please make sure that you are using the latest theme and bundled plugins versions. If you still have trouble send us a private message (contact form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/pirenko ) with the WP login details so that we can analyze this situation.

Hello Pirenko, first thank you for the beautiful theme.

I’m working on a new website for a dance agency and have a problem with viewing videos on mobile devices (iPad, Mobile Phone). On the desktop and Laptop everything is fine. The video in the header does not show it on mobile devices. What am I doing wrong? Please take a look: http://lunatixdanceproductions.com/home

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
It is intended to be like that, because HTML5 video support on mobile devices is still not perfect. So, on mobile devices you will see a fallback image that you can set up near the video options.
If you still want to play the video on mobile you can always stream from YouTube or Vimeo. Send us a private message if you need help setting this up.
Cheers!

Thanks for the quick help.

There is still another small problem … In the Theme Options / Footer Section / Copyright Area / you can not use the text with HTML Attributes (for a link).

Look here: http://lunatixdanceproductions.com/home

As far as we know you should be fine with that.

Hi guys, thx for your great work. For me it`s one of the best themes on themeforest. But I have one little problem with the contact form. It`s not possible to send messages. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing and for the kind comments about the theme!
Probably your hosting company is blocking sending emails via the wp_mail function. You should get in touch with them to remove this restriction.
You can also try and install the free plugin Contact Form 7 that has alternative ways to send emails.

Hi, just bought the theme! Nice!

Is it possible to make a photo “on click” pop up as a Vimeo video?

I want to have several photos, like a gallery, and when I click on them, it pop up a lightbox video.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
You can use the portfolio items for that. Just make sure that on each portfolio item you select the option “Skip featured image on single page and lightbox” and that you add your video on the 2nd media slot. These 2 options are located under the portfolio item content.

Hi I got the theme but the demo page of blog is not like the theme demo, My blog page from demo importer: http://edenrozenblum.com/agency-dark-colors-blog/ The site demo I need: http://www.pirenko-themes.com/hook/black/blog/

I got the theme because I liked the blog so it is very important for me to have the same look as your demo!

pleas let me know how to do it..

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
You need to apply/import the dark agency color scheme. You will find all the skins inside the theme documentation folder. On this video tutorial you can see how to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mRsu_B2LfU&index=3&list=PLWiviR4wWrsHM_wjmk_3dU70ztVA72q1l

I’ve been a member here for years and bought thousands of dollars worth of products – and the support I’ve received from Pirenko is the best I’ve ever had – period! As long as they keep creating stuff…I’ll keep buying it. #FanForLife

Thanks for the kind words :)

The Stylish Showcase homepage demo features a video in the middle (Daylight Dream); however, the 1-click install features only sunflowers. How do we make it playback a video instead? What should be the format, file size and dimensions of the video? Can it be hosted elsewhere like Youtube or must it be uploaded to Media.

Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
If you want to add a video background to that row you need to edit the row properties using the page builder that is included with the theme. On the “Background type” option select video and then upload the video to the media library.

I just purchased the Hook Theme, downloaded it, unzipped the compressed folder and installed the theme following the step in your helpful video-tutorial. Now when I gonna activate the One-click install feature it just does NOT appear in the wordpress menu. But also when I gonna install the Required Plugins (Hook Framework, WPBakery Visual Composer, Envato Market – Useful to keep the theme updated) it fails and give the message “Download failed. Unauthorized. Plugin not activated. A higher version of Hook Framework is needed for this theme. Please update the plugin.” How is that possible? Does the downloaded zip not updated?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Please send us a private message with the WP login details for a quick check. Cheers!

I just send you a private message :)

We just installed the plugins manually (using the theme folder). The issue that you are having should have to do with server side permissions, because we don’t have any similar report. Cheers!

Hi, is there a way to add a fullscreen video background loop instead of photos at the top “app – landing page” version?

Hi, yes you can have that. Instead of using an image as the row background please select the option to use a video. If you still need help please send us a private message. Cheers!

Hello,

Quick question, how do you force the order of slides in a slider? I can’t seem to see a sort or order setting. I have 3 slides that I wish to present in a particular order on the home page.

Thank You J Seeman

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
They are ordered by date… Please check this small article that will help you http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2013/05/29/changing-custom-post-types-order/

Hi, I have a problem with portfolio items. When I just save the portfolio item, it can be previsualized, but, when I publish it, it doesn’t work. A 404 error appears. Can you tell me how can I fix this problem. Thank you! Alejandra.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Probably there’s something wrong with the permalinks system (please check it under Settings>Permalinks).

Hi, We spoke via twitter (@joecorbett). I was wondering when you were going to patch the issue that causes the background image to be full screen on mobile. Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
That issue is related with rows on which the columns have the height forced to 100%. On the demo that you have shared the screenshot I added a vertical spaced that is only visible on mobile mode. I don’t know your content so I can’t comment with more detail.

Thanks for such a lovely theme! I had some questions regarding the theme, can you help me with them:

1. How can I modify the existing CSS, main.css appears to be minified and it’s pretty hard to get to know the exact class to edit.

2. How can I make use of SCSS files?

3. I want to get rid of Portfolio close button hover (the grid that appears on hover), how can i go forward in removing it.

Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Here are our comments:
1) The easiest way to add some CSS is adding it under Appearance>Theme Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS. If you need to add a lot of CSS then we suggest that you use the child theme and add it to the style.css file;
2) We’re using Codekit to compile it, but you can read more about that here http://sass-lang.com/install .
We would suggest that you don’t make this type of edit, because you will probably have trouble when you update the theme;
3) If you still need help with this, please send us a private message (contact form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/pirenko ) and we’ll assist you.

Are there any other blog layouts.. there seems to only be the 1 style in the demos.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching us!
Please check the Full Demo http://www.pirenko-themes.com/hook/fulldemo/
Let us know if you have any further enquiries or suggestions.
Cheers!

is there possibilty to add mute button on main page?

I know music stops when I rolloever other image but it would be usefull to ad for example in menu mute button for users that dont want any music at all on my page?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
You have the option to mute the videos on the portfolio page (or latest portfolio element). This will make the videos don’t play any sound at all. Isn’t this what you need?
Cheers!

repiled in mail. I meant some button that mute it and other voices on request of viewer. I think this is very important since Everyone would like to let people view video on main page with music but sometimes people don;t like to so they should have option to mute theme voices.

Ok, sounds like a good idea. Will be added on version 1.1 of the theme that will be available this week. Thanks!

I am having issues on the About page and other pages, the menu bar keeps scrolling with the page. I’ve turned that off. Can you help?

Do you plan to make the PSDs layouts available?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
We’re sorry, but no. The reason? We don’t use Photoshop to create the layouts… We actually just use the browser to design and create the theme.
Cheers!

Are you planning to add some more elements to the theme? For example, some alternative price table styles would be good. Awesome theme though, planning to buy it shortly :)

Hi,
Thank you for the kind comments about the theme!
The pricing tables in use are an example, but there are some extra layout options – these are our favorites though!
We will be adding more demos (our target is to have at least 25) and features in the upcoming weeks for sure, so please feel free to reach us if you buy the theme and need some extra options for the pricing tables. Your feedback is valuable and highly appreciated.
Cheers :)
