Hi there, quick prepurchase question to everybody: How is the speed of the theme? Google Speed Test shows quite a few css and java script files that load pretty long: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?hl=de&url=http%3A%2F%2Fenvirra.com%2Fthemes%2Fsprout%2F&tab=mobile
Hi 
It’s just a few file that optimized by W3 Total Cache. You may use a different tool to check site speed such as https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/zTBKj/http://envirra.com/themes/sprout/ or https://gtmetrix.com/reports/envirra.com/C9BpvPSS
IMO, The Pagespeed Insight is very strictly for page performance.
I see, very good speed indeed. Thank you for your quick reply. Is there a chance that I can see a demo of the admin-area for the theme? Thank you for your reply
Oh sorry and one more question: Is it possible to make the image on the slider also clickable and not just the text as a link?
Hi
This issue is already fixed but not yet released.
Hi, I like the theme so far! One question: for the Posts modules, I notice they don’t display posts which are assigned to more than one category. For example, I have posts that need to be assigned to “Community Outreach” “Newsroom” and “Inside Our Company”, but those posts won’t appear in your post modules unless I delete two categories on the post to leave only one category, like “Community Outreach”.
Can I update the modules somehow to make them posts which have multiple categories?
Thanks!
Hi
Could you please send me a url of that page? (with the post name that has an issue).

Hi
Just edit this file and delete the line that contain a script which you need to delete “themes\sprout\inc\enqueue.php”.
Anyway, Removing those scripts is not strongly recommended.
Where could I change that the featured image is taken from the post slug, and not from the post id?
Hi,
The featured image is getting from wordpress function the_post_thumbnail https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_post_thumbnail/
After I renamed the theme folder, Sprout – Child does not install. Missing parent theme. Please install parent theme «sprout».
How to fix?
Hi
Please don’t rename the theme folder.
Hi, The search button on top right of my blog is broken. Can you tell me how to fix? Thanks!

There are some error on the page that stop all scripts execution. Please try disable all plugin (except theme’s plugins) and check again
Hey, I have a problem. I recently updated from v1.54 to 1.72 and it screwed up our Post Box. In the “block grid – 2 columns” layout, there were sometimes empty spaces. That is, sometimes there was just one post per line and the next post appeared in the next line, leaving an empty space to the left of the previous post. We have some custom css, but I don’t see what could be responsible to the problem. I have since reverted back to the old version of the theme.
Help would be much appreciated.
Hi
Please disable all plugins (except theme plugins) and check again. If the problem still persists, Please send me a url of the page.
Hi, I have recreated the problem on this test blog: http://engine.oneunited.de/
All unnecessary plugins are deactivated, but the problem still occurs. How can I fix it? Thanks.
Hi,
There are some error from “naMediaAd_SUPERBANNER” that stop all scripts execution. Please remove the code or plugin and check again.
Yes, sorry, I have removed the code now. But the problem with the block grid is still there.
Hi
OK, There are 2 points as the following
1. The empty space is a sidebar space because you ware using “Post box with sidebar” section. Please assign a sidebar in the section options or use the “Post box” section instead.
2. For sorting issue, You can use a custom CSS. Please copy a custom css from the below
.vw-block-grid-item {
float: none;
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
.vw-block-grid {
display: flex;
flex-wrap:wrap
}
Then navigate to ‘Theme Options > Custom CSS/JS’ and paste into ‘Custom CSS’ option.
Hi, thank you very much. I knew about the sidebar, just left it empty on the test blog.. But the custom css resolved the sorting issues! I have just one more problem. If I deactivate the “custom tiled gallery” the standard wordpress galleries do not work properly. See for instance here: http://engine.oneunited.de/2017/05/17/testpost-gallerie/
Please use the below css. This fix will be included in next update.
.gallery {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin-bottom: 1em; }
.gallery img {
border: 1px solid #ddd !important;
padding: 3px; }
.gallery .gallery-caption {
margin-top: 0.5em;
font-style: italic; }
.gallery .gallery-item {
flex: 0 1 auto;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px; }
.gallery-columns-1 .gallery-item {
width: 100%; }
.gallery-columns-2 .gallery-item {
width: 50%; }
.gallery-columns-3 .gallery-item {
width: 33.3333333333%; }
.gallery-columns-4 .gallery-item {
width: 25%; }
Great, thanks!
I am trying to place ads on my site that only show on mobile format. I want to add styles that target these ads, but there doesn’t seem to be a mobile stylesheet. I do not want these styles to target my desktop ads. How do I add styles that only target my mobile ad code?
Hi
Could you please send me a url of the page and specify location of the ads.
Yes, it’s http://www.cvltnation.com, and my ad locations (for mobile) are in the header and at the bottom of individual posts.
Hi,
You can use a custom CSS. Please copy a custom css from the below
@media (min-width: 768px) {
body .vw-header-ads-wrapper,
body .vw-post-footer-section-custom-1
{
display: none !important;
}
}
Then navigate to ‘Theme Options > Custom CSS/JS’ and paste into ‘Custom CSS’ option.
What I want to do is set the max width to 300px for these ads on mobile platforms only, and also to have them centered. I use the same Google DFP tags for the header and custom post area as I do for desktop, they are responsive but they aren’t always showing up centered and the right width (300px).
Please try this css
@media (max-width: 767px) {
body .vw-header-ads-wrapper,
body .vw-post-footer-section-custom-1
{
max-width: 300px !important;
text-align: center !important;
}
}
Hey how does one remove this from the bottom of blogs posts? https://www.screencast.com/t/JNfu6K3r3wno
Hi
Please disable the About Author section at ‘Theme Options > Blog / Archive > Post > Post Footer Sections.’
Thanks Envirra. I wasn’t editing the theme at that point but so easy. Cheers, =)
Hi, I’ve noticed that when I click share and post on Twitter it posts a link with an image. However the image is blank. I do have a featured image on the post. Is there a quick fix so the featured image shows up on the tweet?
Hi
Thanks for let us know. This issue will be fixed in next update.
Please send email to me by using contact form on my profile page. I will send a quick fix to you.
Hi!
I am trying to translate your theme in French with Po Edit Pro, and the theme doesn’t show the translation.
I did all steps in documentation concerning Translation & Internalization. And in the settings, the site language is in French too.
Can you help me out? Would be really appreciated. If you can reply to info@hautealtitude.ca (which is my email address it would be much easier then using the gmail address from this account, which is my customer’s email address).
Thanks Dany Richer Haute Altitude pour Sports Addik
Other questions: I also need to change CSS of Sprout: Popular, Recent, Comments for hover color. I have found for the text but not the hover. Thanks Dany
Hi
1. For translation, Please set the option “Settings > General > Site Language” to “Francis”. Next, Save these files into the folder “themes/sprout/languages” or “themes/sprout-child/languages” if you’re using child theme
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h838g9rfwpgushs/fr.mo?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/t2fh0i88ehwrhl3/fr.po?dl=0Next, Go to your site for checking the translation. The word “Read more” must be changed to “Read more2”.
If it’s working, You can use the file fr.po for your translation.
2. You can use a custom CSS. Please copy a custom css from the below
.vw-post-box .vw-post-box-title a:hover {
color: #ff7700; /* Change color here */
}
Then navigate to ‘Theme Options > Custom CSS/JS’ and paste into ‘Custom CSS’ option.
Hi Envirra! I did create the folder wp-content/themes/sprout-child/languages and upload both fr.mo and fr.po files through ftp and it did not changed to “Read more2” It’s still like the beginning.
Also for the CSS, I did copy your code in the theme option Custom CSS, changed the color #ff770 for our #CC2127 saved it, and it’s still blue instead of red…
Do you want admin access to our site ? I can send you information. Just send me an email at info@hautealtitude.ca please.
Thanks Dany
I also noticed the hover is still blue and the word “popular, recent and comments” are no longer changing color when we select a tab… Here’s my code in the Custom CSS /sidebar/ .ui-state-active a, .ui-state-active a:link, .ui-state-active a:visited { color: #cc2127; text-decoration: none; }
.ui-state-default a, .ui-state-default a:link, .ui-state-default a:visited { color: #5d5d5d; text-decoration: none; }
.vw-post-box .vw-post-box-title a:hover { color: #CC2127; /* Change color here */ }
Also for authors, is it possible to disable my own user ? I am a webmaster and not a writer… I don’t want my account showing up on the site in the author widget section.
Another question…Lightweight accordions and toggles in your demo this is lightweight, not heavy… I tried to do that with accordions but I am not able to do it the way you did not like that http://sportsaddik.com/nos-collaborateurs/ 
Hi
You can send me an admin account and login url by using contact form on my profile page (and we can start discussion via email)
For the popular widget and Lightweight accordions, I think the widget’s style was overriden by this plugin “Mailchimp”. Please try disable the plugin and check again. (Don’t forget to clear alll cache of “W3 Total Cache” and “BWP Minify” plugin before checking).
For author section, You can’t disable it for specified user. Disabling the author section will be applied for all users. If you don’t like this shown your account for a specific post, You can change author of the post by follow this instruction http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-change-the-author-of-a-post-in-wordpress/
Thanks Envirra, and what about the translation who did not worked either? As per our previous message, even if I did upload you 2 files, it’s still Read more and not Read more2, so it doesn’t take the new language files…
Kindly sorry, I’ve just replied to your mail box 
It did not worked either… I have started to translate all terms one by one in the php files. The thing is, when I will update the theme, I’ll loose everything
I just don’t understand why it doesn’t take it. I have created a sprout-child/language/ folder it did not work either. Tried also in the sprout/languages folder. I don’t know what else to try
Hi
I send a new file to you.
If the problem still persists, Please send an FTP account and address for connecting and path to themes folder.
P.S. We can discuss via email. It’s easier to follow up.

Hi
Yes. You can use visual composer plugin but some elements may not inherit a styles of this theme.
Hi, a strange code is apearing in the post images above the cathegory: /* /]]>/, can´t find what is producing it:
https://www.designerfreelance.net/colorful-light-burst-text-effect/Hi
Are you using W3 Total cache plugin? Please try disable the HTML minify or JS minify at menu “Performance > Minify”.
Or it may caused from Rocket script loader(cloudflare).
Thanks, it was HTML minify
I would like to know how I can remove the author of the articles
Hi
You can use a custom CSS. Please copy a custom css from the below
.vw-post-meta .vw-post-author,
.vw-post-meta .vw-post-author + .vw-post-meta-separator {
display: none !important;
}
Then navigate to ‘Theme Options > Custom CSS/JS’ and paste into ‘Custom CSS’ option.
Hi The code did not work
I got it! thank you. 
The theme is loading a local version of Bootstrap (that is included in the theme). Is this version edited or customized in some way?
I am trying to create a custom navigation bar using basic Bootstrap, however, it does not work at all.
I was playing with a theme that I was creating myself and in it, I loaded Bootstrap via the CDN, and I could get it to work in my theme, but not with Sprout. So I am wondering if the bootstrap CSS that is with Sprout has been altered, thus the navbar classes are not working.
If so, do you seen any problems if I was to un-queue the local bootstrap and load it from the CDN?
Cheers
Just to add….
I went ahead and loaded Bootstrap via the CDN from header.php and the navbars are showing as expected. So I am guessing that the local bootstrap is not the same as the current one (3.3.7).
So after some more digging….
Your theme includes version 3.0.1 of Bootstrap. I tried deregistering it and replaced it with 3.3.7 from the CDN. However, this broke some areas of the theme.
For example, I have a page (https://streamworksaudio.com/tutorials/) that uses VW Simple Composer. The content grid is set to ‘Block Grid 2 Columns’. When using Bootstrap 3.3.7 this is broken, and I can only see 1 column.
Do you need to tweak the theme so that it is compatible with Bootstrap 3.3.7?
Hi
There is some css added in the bootstrap.css. If you need to replace it, Please open this file ‘themes\sprout\css\bootstrap.css’ and move a css that has a class prefixed with ”.vw-block-grid” to other file.
P.S. Your support subscription was expired. You can purchase an extended support at theme item page on ThemeForest.
Hello,
I’m getting an error from Google Search Console because the Structured Data.
I need to change the class of my h1 in the posts to “entry-title”.
Now it is: class=”vw-page-title”. So Google can not read it.
Please, how can I change it?
Thanks
Hi
You can edit this file ‘themes\sprout\templates\page-title.php’.
I’m still getting an error with “missing: entry-title” in GSC. I guess everyone is having same problem since is about CSS configuration. Please, could you help me to fix this error? (It is not a critical error, but for SEO reasons is better have a perfect structured data)

Using the Wordpress site…
Two things: —The 404 page is not loading the Sprout template. —Header ad is not showing even though the feature is turned on, and I’m using the boxed site layout.
Please resolve.
Thanks.
Hi
1. Are you using a third-party plugin for 404 page? The sprout template may not be loaded (depends on the plugin).
2. Ads may not be shown immediately or not display on all units depends on provider policy. Please check https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/10522?hl=en
Just purchased today. Uploaded Wordpress files. Can’t install Shortcodes and Sprout Theme Options Panel… Error: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
Please resolve.

Hi,
I think I found a bug with the theme. It is somehow generating links like this – https://myurl.com/45. the number on the end is random as far as I can tell, and I can’t find anywhere in the database where this exists. I’ve been running Screaming Frog SEO to check for 404’s and it always comes up with these, over 100 of them. I switched themes to make sure that it was a theme issue and ran the check again, and all of those url’s were gone.
Hi
I don’t think this would be a problem from theme. It looks like a numeric url in wordpress. Please check permalink settings at ‘Settings > Permalinks’.
Permalinks are set to the post name. I wouldn’t have normally thought it was a theme issue, but I changed the theme and ran the check again, and those links were gone. I did try refreshing permalinks as well and the problem persists.
Hi
Could you please send me a url of the page?
I will email you with that. Thanks
Hello, I use WP Engine. I cannot deploy my site from LIVE to STAGING due to Sprout. I know this, because when I deactivate Sprout it works – here is the error log:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /nas/content/live/sfcwebsite2/wp-content/themes/sprout/index.php on line 1
I have spoken to the developers at WP Engine and they are unable to do anything because it is the theme. They do suggest an update “in terms of scripting like Javascript.”
Is this related to the theme and if so, how can I fix it?
Hi
The function get_header() is a native function of wordpress, not of theme (and not related to javascript). It’s impossible for this error except wordpress installation is not complete.
Kindly sorry, Please raise this issue back to WP Engine.
