I’m sorry but there is no option to show different post types in the same grid. Portfolio is a custom post type and different from the blog post.

Also, the Portfolio Grid element always displays only portfolio and Blog Posts element always displays only blog posts, they couldn’t be combined in the same grid.

Btw thanks for your awesome support and answering so fast.

Is there any option to code that (portfolio/post grid)? since all that is necessary is the featured image and some of the text?

Another question that just came up: http://s3r.co/wp/?page_id=785

there is always this text coming up ” All- interview- Premiere- testify” is this a category or are those tabs, and where can I hide this textbar?

The easiest way is adding the code to functions.php in your child theme to enable different post types in the Blog Posts element.

1. Install flora-child-theme.zip, and then activate it.

2. Go to Appearance -> Editor to edit the Flora Child theme.

3. Add the code below to Theme Functions (functions.php):

function flora_update_shortcodes(){

    /* Remove current custom query field settings */ 

    vc_remove_param( "wyde_blog_posts", "loop" );

    /* Add new custom query field settings */
    vc_add_param( 'wyde_blog_posts', array(
        'type' => 'loop',
        'heading' => __( 'Custom Posts', 'flora' ),
        'param_name' => 'posts_query',
        'weight'    => 1,
        'settings' => array(            
            'size' => array( 'hidden' => true),
            'order_by' => array( 'value' => 'date' ),
            'order' => array( 'value' => 'DESC' ),
        ),
        'description' => __( 'Create WordPress loop, to populate content from your site.', 'flora' )
    ) );

}
add_action( 'vc_mapper_init_after', 'flora_update_shortcodes', 100 ); 

4. So you will see new option when you click on the Build query button in the Blog Posts element settings to select other post types. You can select “wyde_portfolio” to show the portfolio in the blog grid too.

Regarding the text “All – interview – ...”, I couldn’t access the link you provided but I suppose this is a category of the portfolio. So when you edit the Portfolio Grid, select the “Hide Filter” option to hide that bar.

Hi there,

Thank you for the link!

It doesn’t work because there is no anchor of the About page on your front page.

That’s because you’ve set the front page to show the latest posts instead of showing the static front page.

You have to go to Settings -> Reading, in the “Front page displays” select “A static page (select below)”, and choose a page for Front page option. For your website it should be “About” page that is the first page on your main menu. And then choose a blog page for “Posts page”, if you haven’t it yet, you can create a new blank page called “Blog”, you don’t need to add any content to this page, just set it as the Posts page in the settings so it will display the blog posts automatically.

Also, please see more details on how to create One Page website and to setup the home page in our documentation.

I’ve figured out how to build a slider but now I want to embed it into the front page but I’m not sure where to place the code?

Hi there,

First of all, please do not set your front page as the Posts Page. Because the Posts Page is a reserved WordPress page that automatically populates all blog posts from your site so the Visual Composer won’t work on this page.

Here’s what you have to do.

1. Create a page and set it as the Front Page in Settings -> Reading. I usually call it “Home” page.

2. Build the page content by using Visual Composer, add Slider Revolution element to display your slider at the first row. And then add a Blog Posts element to show your blog posts on the “Home” page.

3. Please display only some posts as preview on your front page, and add a Link Button to link to the main Blog page where you set it as Posts Page instead, see the next step to create the main Blog page.

4. Add a new blank page, I usually call it “Blog” page, and set it as Posts Page in Settings -> Reading. You don’t need to add any content in this page, it will automatically populate blog posts from your site. You can set the blog settings for this page in Theme Options -> Blog.

Please make sure you’ve enabled Google Maps JavaScript API and Google Maps Geocoding API on your Google API console.

Also, the settings you made changes on Google API console may take up to 5 minutes to take effect.

Go to Theme Options -> Navigation -> Contact Info Items.

Set the link of that button to #contact-us or the slug of your Contact Us page. You can find the page slug when you click on the menu items in the main menu at the top, when you enable One Page Site in Theme Options -> Page, all menu items in the main menu will automatically generate the links to the anchor of each page. Or PM me your site URL: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hi,

By default, the Visual Composer is enabled on only pages. You have to enable it on portfolio first. Go to Visual Composer -> Role Manager, select “Custom” for Post types and then select “wyde_portfolio”, you can also select “post” to enable it on blog post, see more: https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/control-user-group-access-visual-composer-wordpress/

Hi there,

There are the fonts settings in Theme Options -> Typography, you should use those settings instead.

However, if you’d like to use custom fonts, you have to add custom CSS in style.css in your child theme. If it still doesn’t work, try to add ”!important” to the font names & styles like the code below:

h2{

    font-family: "Your Font Name" !important;
    font-weight: 700 !important;
    font-size: 28px !important;
}

You should enable Transparent Header option so the top menu will overlay the page content. When you edit the page, scroll down to the Flora Options box at the bottom, select the Header tab and change Transparent Header to Enable.

I got transparent header, and still this line exist

If it’s the line under the main menu at the top, you have to add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to remove it:

<style type="text/css">

    body:not(.expand-nav):not(.full-nav-active):not(.no-title) #header.w-transparent:not(.w-fixed){
        border-bottom: none;
    }

</style>

You can find the flora icon in the file “css/icons.css”, the flora icons are in the first part.

Great. Thanks!

Thank you! Okay, will it also overtake the Slider Revolution and Backgrounds etc? Just to make sure, before all my work gets lost. Greetings

No, this won’t affect your settings and any changes.

Perfect!

Some settings in Theme Options are not compatible with Customizer, please use the Theme Options panel instead.

Hello,

I’m sorry but the portfolio grid always brings you to the portfolio single post. You couldn’t set the link of the page to those items. You should use the Single Image element instead. You can set custom row layouts to build custom grid columns and then add Single Image element to each column to use as the image link.

You can add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to hide the magnifying glass:

<style type="text/css">
    .w-view figure figcaption > span{
        display:none;
    }
</style>

Since 3 days I just want to add a simple slider..

Of course this plugin is included in the theme. You can normally use it without activation like the Visual Composer. If you have a notification message for activating/registering a purchased product, you can ignore it. This was also stated on our documentation.

As I mentioned in previous comment, the activation option is available for users who have purchased that plugin separately (direct customers). If you haven’t, you couldn’t activate it. That’s for access the support from the plugin creator directly and to get auto update but you don’t need since it was bundled with the theme, it will need to be updated by the theme creator instead.

You should import Sliders from the demos in Theme Options -> Home. If you’d like to import slider templates from this plugin, you will need to download from this page: https://revolution.themepunch.com/free-slider-exchange/#esg-grid-2-1-wrap

And then import by uploading downloaded files manually in Slider Revolution page on WordPress admin instead.

Thank you! I figure it out over the download page!

Hi,

Unfortunately, WPML plugin couldn’t translate the repeating fields where you can add Custom Fields on portfolio post, this issue has been reported and the WPML plugin creator will add new feature to the plugin so it will be able to translate these fields in the next update of this plugin.

Also, in the future please contact us from the account that purchased this theme to make sure you’re currently in the correct product page that corresponds to what you have purchased.

Okey! thanks for the answer. I will wait this update.

I’m not quite sure that you’re having problem on blog single post or blog page.

Anyway, I provide both.

1. For blog page. If you’re working on the Posts Page (default blog page), this page is a default WordPress posts page, it automatically populates the posts from your site so the Visual Composer is disabled on this page. You can customize blog page in Theme Options -> Blog. When you choose the Grid layout, scroll down to the Columns option to choose the number of columns to display the blog grid.

2. For the blog single post. If you’d like to build the blog post by using the page builder. You have to enable it on blog post first. By default, it’s enabled on only page. Go to Visual Composer -> Role Manager, choose Custom for Post types and then select “post”. So you can add Image Galley to display the images in the grid layout on the blog single post page.

Sounds like you also have the Overlap theme installed on the same server.

If you have the latest update of the Flora theme, you should install the Wyde Core plugin 2.5.5. The greater versions are not compatible.

The Flora theme is not compatible with the new version of the Wyde Core plugin that’s included in the Overlap and our new themes.

You should delete the new version of Wyde Core plugin first. Please don’t worry it won’t affect your data and settings. After you delete it, you will see a notification message to install the right version from the Flora theme.

Thank-you for getting back to me quickly.

So, it looks like that explains the error on one site that I installed Overlap on first (probably going to stick with Overlap on that one anyway).

However, the error I sent you is from a different site that doesn’t have the Wyde plugin or Overlap previously installed…and that’s the one I want to use Flora on.

Any other ideas or known plugin incompatibilities?

I really like the way both the Flora and Overlap themes look, but as I dig around in your comments here, I’m getting a bit nervous about Flora playing nice with other tools that I use.

(crossing my fingers!)

I guess this is a plugin conflict issue. If you have other plugins installed, try to deactivate them one by one to see if it works.

Sounds like this is an AJAX Page issue, try to turn off AJAX Options in Theme Options -> AJAX Options to see if it works (disable this option for all sites).

Hi,

The text color option of the top navigation is available on each page. When you edit the page, scroll down to the Flora Options box at the bottom of the page, select the Header tab and change the Foreground Style to change the text color. However, you can choose between “Dark” and “Light”, no custom color, this based on the theme design.

You can also change the Transparent Header to “Enable” so the top navigation on this page will overlay the page content without background color.

Excellent thanks, all working now!
