Hi, how can I change texts like : Show more, read more, etc… ?
All static words are included in the POT file. You can edit this file by using POEdit ( https://poedit.net/ ) or any other translation plugins. Please follow the instructions in our documentation (Translation section) on how to translate the theme.
Also, you can use the Loco Translate plugin as the steps below:
1. Please make sure you have installed and activated the Overlap Child theme.
2. Install the Loco Translate plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ )
3. Navigate to Loco Translate, and then select “Overlap Child” in the Active Theme list.
4. You will see the default language “English (United States)” in languages list, select it to edit.
5. Find the word “Show more”, and then put the new word into the Translation box at the bottom.
6. Save changes.
Hi, where is the documentation you’re talking about ?
The documentation is included in the main zip file, when you download the theme from ThemeForest, choose “All files & documentation”. You can find our documentation in the folder “Documentation” after you extract the zip file.
I don’t have that. In the theme files, there is a “documentation” folder containing 3 files ( css, images, js). There’s no explanation or translation section or something looking like that.
no, i don’t have any of that in the documentation files (from theme zip). I have 3 folders inside “documentation” : CSS, Images and JS. None of those contain any documentation info. I have try to unzip the file again. Also, it seems there is another problem with the translation. I have try to set my Wordpress general setting at : French and French Canada. Neither is working. Short copy are still in english even if all the text are in french in the POT files ( FR-CA and FR).
In the folder “Documentation”, you can open “index.html” with Chrome or any other browsers, you will see the documentation. Select the Translations menu to see the instructions on how to translate the theme. Also, it’s easier when you use the Loco Translate plugin.
Ok got it. It work except for one text. The Show More button text (portfolio grid page) isn’t included in the POT file. Where can I change this text ?
My apology, it isn’t included in the recent updates. We will update the POT file in the next update. Thank you for reporting this issue.
Also, the text Related projects (from portfolio) isn’t included the POT file.
You can change the text “Related Projects” in Theme Options -> Portfolio -> Portfolio Single Post -> Related Posts Title.
Got it thanks 
About the “Show More button text (portfolio grid page)” not included in the POT file, when should I expect the update ? I would like to put my website online soon.
We will release the new update within a week.
i just update the theme, is it me or the “show more” text is still not in the .POT ?
It haven’t been released yet. We will release it within this week.
Few alterations required on the theme, please help
1.) Once we remove the curser from a product image it should return to the original featured image. 2.) The side bar on the category page should only display the collections of that particular product category not all categories 3.) One should be able to minimise and maximize side bar on category page
1. It has been updated in the next version of the theme.
2. When you add a WooCommerce Product Categories widget to the sidebar on the shop page and on the product category archive page, it will display all product categories by default. There is no custom display option in this widget. You should find any third party plugins to add custom product categories widget to your sidebar instead.
3. I’m sorry but the product category page uses the same layout as the shop page, if you show sidebar on the shop page, it will show on the category page too.
Hi I updated the theme but the first issue is still not resolved also all my customization is gone. Please suggest a way where i can retain my customization and update theme at the same time.
As I mentioned in the previous comment, it’s in the next version that will release in the future (we will release it in a few days). Of course the issue won’t be resolved if you update with the current version.
Also, if you’ve edited the theme or made changes directly to any theme files, your changes will be lost when you update the theme.
If you’d like to edit the theme, please do it via child theme instead. You can add custom CSS to style.css in your child theme to change the styles and copy the PHP files to your child theme folder to edit them.
Hi I want to remove sidebar from the category page, is there a way to disable it from the wp-admin if not please tell us the file path and file name where we can make the changes.
You can set the sidebar of the blog category page in Theme Options -> Blog -> Blog Archive/Category -> Sidebar, choose the first option to remove the sidebar.
Hi i want to remove side bar from the product category/collection page not the blog page
Unfortunately, the product category page uses the same page template and page settings from the shop page. If you show the sidebar on the page, of course it will always show on the category page too. There is no option in the current version of the theme to remove the sidebar on the category page only.
You can remove the sidebar from the Shop page when you edit the page in Pages on your WordPress. In the Overlap Options at the bottom of the page, choose the first option for the Sidebar Position in the Page tab.
Hi We want to remove the hover effect from the product category page please point us in the right direction
You this means the hover effect on the product name and price transition, of course you can add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to disable it:
<style type="text/css">
.archive.tax-product_cat .products li figure:hover figcaption{
-webkit-transform:none;
transform:none;
}
</style>
Your demo’s not working
Thank you so much for informing us!
This is a CDN caching issue. Seems like it couldn’t serve some cached files so the browsers couldn’t display the web properly.
We just purged the CDN caches and everything is working, please try to refresh your browser again.
Thanks again!
No worries. Looks like an awesome theme.
Thank you 
I have trouble to install the HOME CORPORATIVE… the others “home” is already ok but in the corporative appears an error: “Page not found It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search? ” what can I do?
Go to Pages on your WordPress admin to make sure you have this page. Maybe, there is an error while importing demo content so you couldn’t import some pages or posts.
If it doesn’t exist, try to reset your site and then select only Pages to import again.
Also, if you have more than one pages of “Home – Corporate”, you should edit the menu in Appearance -> Menus to add the correct page to the menu.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and admin login: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Dear Sir, Madam
I have trouble finding my Visual Composer License that was included in the download when I purchased Overlap. Could you point me in the right direction?
Kind regards,
Alexandra Maesen
The product registration option is available for users who have purchased this plugin individually (direct buyer). You can normally use this plugin without registering the purchase code as stated in our documentation.
Logo size issue Hello, I want to make the logo int the header bigger. Right now, it looks really too small. How can I do that ? Thank you.
Here’s the code the increase the logo size, you can add it into Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:
<style type="text/css">
#header-logo img {
max-height: 90%;
}
</style>
Thanks for help, but the code in the page for add custom content have more conditions and code than your example ( in WIDE PAGE have an ELSE FOR SHOW THE CONTENT or Boxed show the content). I need add a loop for show children pages with featured image (with attachment) after the content in WIDE condition. thanks!
You can copy the whole code from in page.php from the Overlap theme so you can edit the page template in your child theme as your needs without losing changes when you update the theme.
Hey there!

I’m having trouble with the accordion element. I’ve seen some previous discussions about the accordion not collapsing, and I’m having the same issue, despite installing the latest downloadable zip of the theme today on 2/7/17. I deleted the theme by activating some other free theme, then installed the Wordpress Installation Files Only zip, and activated the new Overlap install but this did not fix the problem with the accordions not collapsing…
Here’s the page I’m working on. http://harveyandsteele.co/website-development/Let me know if you can help, thank you!
Jaclyn.
Hi,
I couldn’t access your site to see the accordions.
However, please make sure you’ve selected “Allow collapse all sections” option in the Accordion element settings.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me the login credentials: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Hello, I create a page custom template.php for add custom content. apply the wide style for page and show the content but don’t see the add content in custom template in the wide page style. For what? i need help! thanks
Hello,
The easiest way to add custom content into the page is editing the default page template (page.php) in your child theme.
1. Install overlap-child-theme.zip.
2. Open cPanel FTP and copy page template from Overlap theme “wp-content/themes/overlap/page.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/page.php”.
3. Edit page.php in your child theme to add custom content.
However, if you’d like to create new template instead of editing the default, please follow this:
1. Add new template file named “template.php” in your child theme.
2. Add the code below into this file:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom Page
*/
get_header();
?>
<div id="content">
<?php
if( have_posts() ):
the_post();
overlap_page_title();
?>
<div class="<?php echo esc_attr( overlap_get_layout_class( overlap_get_page_layout() , overlap_get_sidebar_position()) ); ?>">
<?php
overlap_page_background();
//Your custom content here
the_content();
//Your custom content here
?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
3. Insert your custom content into the code above as you please.
4. When you create a page, please choose Custom Page for your Template in the Page Attribute box in the right hand side.
Hi from Germany!
First I will tel you that I love this theme. 
I have only one question: Where can I give the Blog, the Portfolio and the Pages another menu than the primary menü?
Thank you!
Sandra
http://fotoatelier.hamburgHi,
Thank you for your nice comment!
There are 2 menu locations in this theme, the first one is the primary menu at the top, another one in the footer. If you’d like to display the menu in other places on the page, of course you can create new menu in Appearance -> Menus. And then add a WP Custom Menu element from Visual Composer into the page to display your menu.
Also, you add custom links to the page by using the Link Button element to link to any pages.
If this is not what you’re looking for, please provide me more details.
Hi Wyde,
thank you for your support.
Maybe I must explain it in another way: When I’m at the blog page I need another main menu than at the front page.
Because at the front page I need #anchors for navigation.
But when I’m at the blog page I need links in the navigation.
Because the front page main menu doesn’t work at the blog because of the anchors: http://fotoatelier.hamburg/blog/#about
Do you understand my problem?
Thank you!
Sandra
Thank you for your detailed explanation!
You will need to install the third party plugin so you can show different menus in different pages, it’s called Menu Swapper: https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-swapper/
After you install this plugin, please follow this:
1. Go to Settings -> Menu Swapper to add new Theme Location.
2. Put “frontpage” to the Theme Location Slug, and “Front Page Navigation” into the Theme Location Name and then save changes. This will be new menu location for your front page.
3. Go to Appearance -> Menus, edit your current Primary Menu, change the name to “Front Page Menu”. Scroll down to the Display Location at the bottom, select the “Front Page Navigation” instead of “Primary Navigation”.
4. Create new menu, set the name to “Primary Menu” and add the pages to this menu. In the Display Location, select “Primary Navigation” so this will be the new primary menu to show in your Blog page and any others.
5. Edit your front page, scroll down to the Menu Swapper box in the right hand side. Replace the “Primary Navigation” with the “Front Page Navigation”.
YES! It works!!
I’m really excited for your theme and your support!
Thank you so much! 
It’s my pleasure!
Thank you 
Hi, Just bought the template and wanted to use the Corporate theme, hence I got it in the first place, as that would require close to 0 changes from my side, but it looks completely different after installing. The slides aren’t there, the layout is different, colours..why is this so?thanks!
Sounds like there was something couldn’t be imported. Importing Media can take a few minutes to complete the process. If your server has the low PHP limits, you will have a timeout error while importing.
Please make sure you’ve increased the PHP configuration limits to the minimum as we provided in our documentation.
The easiest way to check your server configurations is installing WooCommerce plugin, after install this plugin you can go to WooCommerce -> System Status page to see your server configurations. The PHP Time Limit should be greater than 180.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and admin login credentials: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
I’ve created a portfolio item however all five possible layouts do not look good with my images. The underlying issue is that you crop the image into squares which make them look messy, it would be better if they were resized to fit the square. What I really want is a main image with a load small thumbnails underneath so you can display on the other images one by one, perhaps working as a carousel also. Is there a way round this problem?
Of course images in the gallery on portfolio post page are squared thumbnails but your featured image is not. Your images should be larger than 640×640px so they will be cropped to fit properly in the gallery layouts.
However, you can choose the last layout (Vertical) so it displays all images in portrait instead of square.
The point is that I don’t want the images to be cropped to fit the square boxes I’d prefer for them to be scaled down to fit. (ideally with a white border)
The images look good in Vertical but it’s not practical to have a long vertical layout of large images as it knocks the description text way down.
Strange things happen when the images are put into one of your grids, see here for an example: http://gtawebb.co.uk/hanmade2/?wyde_portfolio=portfolio-1
Unfortunately, when you add images in the Gallery options, they will be cropped automatically into 640×640px. It doesn’t look good on your site because your images smaller than the recommended size. Both width and height should be greater than 640px so they will be cropped to fit properly in the grid.
If your images smaller than that size, please add them into the portfolio content manually by using Single Image or Image Gallery element from Visual Composer instead.
To add images by using Visual Composer, please follow this:
1. Enable Visual Composer on portfolio post by navigating to Visual Composer -> Role Manager, see more: https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/control-user-group-access-visual-composer-wordpress/
In Post types option, choose “Custom” and select “wyde_portfolio”,
2. You can edit the portfolio post with Backend Editor, so you should remove images in the Gallery Options section in the Overlap Options box.
3. Add your images by using Single Image element or Image Gallery element from Visual Composer to the portfolio content.
Thanks I will give that a go later. I hope it will enable me to have a main image accompanied by thumbnails?
However going back to what you say the issue is… the size of the images that I uploaded was as follows:
679 × 1000 651 × 1000 1000 × 694 1000 × 709 1000 × 683 1000 × 858 1000 × 868 504 × 1000
Only 1 dimension of 1 image was less than 640. I have deleted that images and the presentation still looks very jumbled and it is repeating one of the images. http://gtawebb.co.uk/hanmade2/?wyde_portfolio=portfolio-1
In this layout some images have been scaled and some have been cropped. Very random.
The presentation of images for my portfolio is perhaps the most important thing so this isn’t something I can compromise on.
You can see how they were presented on my old site here and compare: http://www.han-made.net/fine-bindings/2016/cloud-atlas/
Basically it seems that a prerequisite for the image layouts to work is that all your images are square to a ratio following 640×640 otherwise you have no control over whether they will be cropped or scaled. You should also put a gentle grey background behind them so that they look good in a grid type layout.
I tried using image gallery in visual composer but it has the same problem so I then experimented with using other plugins but I feel this may be moving a bit far away from the concept of your template and I may encounter more problems elsewhere.
I will try adapting a set of images to the criteria of the template and decide if I want to continue down that route.
I have put all the images into 1280 square boxes with an off-white background and it all looks a lot better. I will go with that solution for now. It’s a shame the image gallery didn’t have an option to do this for us. See: http://gtawebb.co.uk/hanmade2/?wyde_portfolio=portfolio-10
Great job, glad to see you figured it out. It definitely looks a lot better.
Hi there. I have a portfolio of work that I want to categorise by year. i want 2016 at the top (in the portfolios categories menu on the left hand side) and i want it to go down to 2008, meaning my newest work is presented at the top of the list.
Currently the categories are automatically order the other way round. How can I put the portfolio categories menu in a specific order?
Hi there,
Unfortunately, the categories filter in the portfolio grid always displays by name ascending order. This is for filtering the results in the grid, it’s not a date-based archives list like we have in blog posts.
By default, the portfolio grid orders the portfolio posts by publish date descending, of course your newest work is presented at the top of the list.
Only way to change the order of the filtering categories, you have to edit the shortcode template as below:
1. Install and activate overlap-child-theme.zip.
2. Open cPanel File Manager to edit the theme on your server.
3. Copy the portfolio grid template file from “wp-content/themes/overlap/temmplates/shortcodes/wyde_portfolio_grid.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/templates/shortcodes/wyde_portfolio_grid.php”.
4. Edit the code in your child theme as follows:
Replace:
$filters = get_terms('portfolio_category', array('include' => $terms ) );
With:
$filters = get_terms('portfolio_category', array('include' => $terms, 'order' => 'DESC' ) );
Hello,
I have bought and installed the theme. I have an issue with the google map that doesn’t appear. Could you help me fix this issue please ? This is a link to the page : http://www-new.laurencefaure.com/contact/Thank you.
Hello,
Please make sure you’ve set the Google Maps API key in Theme Options -> Google Maps.
Hello! new to this website building thing…I heard there is a help file that is included with the theme. Where can I find that?
In your Downloads page on ThemeForest, choose download “All files & documentation”. Extract the zip file, you can find the documentation in the folder Documentation.
Hello Wyde,
Is it possible to show a sub page on the head page of that subpage? This would make it easier for me ta link to a specific piece of text on a page, without losing the context.
For example: i would like to create the page “about me” with the subpages “my vision” “my projects” “contact me” If you click on the “about me” page, i would like it to show these pages (like rows) If i would place a link on my homepage to “my vision”, i would like it to link to that “row/subpage” on the page “about me”.
Is something like this possible?
All the best
Pepijn
Of course, you can add sub pages to the rows as below:
1. Add your sub page to the row, set the Row ID such as my-vision, you will have an anchor for the section “My Vision”.
2. Add a Link Button to your home page, set the link as ”/about-me/#my-vision” so it will bring you to the About Me page and scroll down to the “My Vision” section.
Hi, Thanks for the quick response! However i cannot figure out how to add a subpage to a row, what should i do/ where can i find these settings?
as for step two, the # is somehow removed out of the link in my browser window, even if i enter it manually and reload the page it just removes it.. so it turns from ”/about-me/#my-vision” to ”/about-me/my-vision” do you know what could be going wrong here?
All the best
Pepijn
Please do not create a new page for your sub page but just add it as a section on the page. You will have only one page named “About Me”, and on this page you have many sections (rows) such as “My Vision” and “My Projects”. Also, you can edit the row to set the Row ID so it will be an anchor of the section.
Regarding the link issue, if you have sub directory for your website please don’t forget to add it to the link too. Also, the easiest way is adding the absolute URL such as “http://www.yourdomain.com/about-me/#my-vision” instead.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and login credentials so I can help you out: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Hi,
were can i post the meta-tags? <meta name=”” content=””> each page separately?
Greetings
You have to install the SEO plugin such as Yoast SEO so you can add meta tags for each page/post.
Hello Wyde,
Is it possible to disable the page background image on mobile devices? I have an image that looks great on desktop view, but is too distorted on mobile view.
All the best
Pepijn
Sorry for the delayed response!
I’m not sure why the background image on your website doesn’t look good on mobile. Actually, it should work on any devices. Maybe, it’s because the parallax background on mobile is enabled. You can disable it in Theme Options -> General, please make sure the Parallax on Mobile option is disabled.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Hello wyde,
It is not your fault that is does not look good on mobile view, I just don’t like the way it looks (the way it is cut out). I wil PM you a link to show it to you
Is there a way to make the background white(or another color) on mobile devices and an image on desktop?
All the best
Pepijn
Hello,
Thank you for the link!
On mobile, the content in the columns will be stacked as rows so the height of the page will be greater than on desktop. Of course when you set the background image for the whole page, your background won’t be covered the whole size of the page on mobile. You should set the background for each section (row) instead, as we did on our demos.
However, if you’d like to hide the page background on only mobile, you have to add custom CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as below:
<style type="text/css">
@media only screen and (max-width: 991px) {
.page-background{
display:none;
}
}
</style>
Hi,
Thanks for the code, it works amazing
exactly what i wanted!
All the best
Pepijn
You’re welcome!
Importing demo content is erroring on “Media” each time. All PHP settings are correct or exceed the recommended criteria. “Media” does not complete and “Settings” do not start. Please assist.
Importing process depends on your server performance too. If you’re using a shared host and it has the low resources, even you increase those PHP limits but it couldn’t process many requests at the same time.
Try to select only Media option and click a demo thumbnail to import only media to see if it works.
Also, you can select only Settings to import the theme settings even you couldn’t import media.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and login credentials: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact
Just to let you know, we were able to import the “Settings” by itself. The “Media” never completed after multiple tries. The connection on the other end timed out. So wherever your source of the media files are is having issues.
I just tried it on my site, I definitely import them all. There is no problem on our media files. However, importing Media (images) can take several minutes to complete the process, if your server has the low limit of PHP configuration, you will have timeout error while importing.
Please try to check how exactly your PHP settings are. The easiest way is installing WooCommerce plugin, and then go to WooCommerce -> System Status page. Please make sure you have the green checked icon for all settings in Server Environment section and the PHP Time Limit is 300 or greater.
If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your site URL and admin login credentials so I can help you out.
HI! I have a question about adding this theme to my wordpress. I use bluehost and when i download wordpress through bluehost, i do not see “add theme” under appearances. So my question is, after i purchase this theme, how do i upload it since wordpress doesn’t allow you to upload your own themes anymore?
Hi,
Sounds like you have no permission to manage your WordPress site. Please make sure you’re logged in as admin so you can add/upload themes and plugins.
Of course you can install/upload the theme via cPanel File Manager but Bluehost should allow you to upload any themes and plugins via WordPress dashboard too. If you have other plugins installed, try to deactivate them all to see if it works. If it still doesn’t work, you should contact bluehost and ask them about this problem.
