Hi… looks like you guys updated the theme today, but there’s no information in the changelog or road map about it. What’s new this time?

Hi davideassis!

Do not worry guys, if there has been update, you would already know it through your WP Admin Dashboard.

We were actually just changing the preview image here (on ThemeForest item page). But due to Envato system it looks like there has been issued update.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hello, I want to buy your theme and do migration of one site made with the 7 theme. what is the best way to do migration to your theme. BR Ned

Hi sale972!

This is kind of tricky questions. WordPress lacks any standardization, so if you are migrating any website from one theme to another, you will need to re-do the pages again. So if you want to migrate your site to any other theme, you will be left with manual migration.

Thanks and cheers! :)

I don’t know if it’s me but when I fill in my purchase code as license key and add my email adress and hit the ‘show license’ button, nothing is happening. Also this is not working in anothe browser. So now my question is, is the purchase code of envato the license key or am I doing something wrong?

update: As I found that the purchase code is the same as the license key, I’m quite sure that the ‘show license’ button is not working properly. I’m running newest version of WordPress and Ark Theme.

Hi Jetaro!

Most probably there is some kind of javascript conflict with your plugins. Please try to de-activate all plugins which are not delivered with the theme and if this does not help, please open a ticket at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/ and we will assist you asap

Thanks and cheers! :)

I have one question before buy… is it possible to have Slider as a Background Layer because in few video examples that i saw i couldn’t see that option… thx! mapi

Hi eshu!

I think that can be achieved by using the included Revolution Slider plugin, just add slide images, disable controls and make it auto-slide. Then a few lines of CSS could position it as a background for the whole website – we could help you with this customization via our support ticket system (for free).

Thanks and cheers! :)

Oh i see…thank you for your answer… Although i was more thinking about some permanent dynamic option&solition for Section background that could be used on mobile devices for example… This theme is something different. Thank you very much for your answers…

Hi eshu!

Great, happy to help! :) Maybe the revolution slider background will be usable on mobiles as well, we would need to test it with you though.

Thanks and cheers! :)

I’m wondering why the demo info doesn’t appear clear? It’s so pixelated http://600.2fb.myftpupload.com/

Hi dlynthebrand!

Images cannot be delivered with the theme, because of the licensing. This is standard for all WP themes. But we went the extra mile and instead of replacing the images with black image with “placeholder” text, we creted script to pixelate them, so it’s much more user friendly

Thanks and cheers! :)

Oh! Makes sense! I thought I imported it wrong or something.

Hi,

I have little problem with Portfolio Archive. I set up “Filter” but it doesn’t work. First of all, the list of categories is not displayed on Portfolio Archive. I get only the All link. Second of all, no matter which category of post I pick (url) I get all of posts from all categories.

Bonjour! Nice theme! Is there a way to drag images on the packery portfolio, for the front end users? THX, Bruno

Hi there!

There is a masonry built-in, you can see the demo here.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Thank you for your fast reply and the link :) Do you plan to add the ability to drag and move images by the front end users? Cheers!

Hi bilois!

We have drag and drop builder in the WordPress admin area, so it’s naturally not accessible to regular website visitors.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi rymr31!

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say that :)

You could spread the word around to your friends and colleagues or simply do more projects with Ark. Basically the more sales we have the more we can afford to spend on future development and hiring new talented people.

Hi, just two question about licenses activation:

1) On localhost domain, can I activate The Ark theme on two (or more) WordPress installations for different testing reasons? the license count will reduce?

2) On real domains, if the theme is activated on main domain (www.example.com) and on a subdomain (blog.example.com), it will go count as 1 or 2 activations?

Thank you for your help!

Hi botiguero!

One License can be active only on one site at any given moment, not more. But the License can be activated on upto 5 other sites. Each new activation will automatically deactivate the previous activation. Localhost, different subdomains and TLDs count towards your activation limit as well.

Example: You start developing on localhost and activate your License there – now you have 4 activations left. Then you transfer your website to a production server and activate your License there – now you have 3 activations left. Note that the License activated on localhost has been automatically deactivated thanks to License activation on the new production server.

Should you need more than 5 activations, please contact us and we will be more than happy to change the limit for you manually.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hello. Same here as dougie2014. I also have 14.0 and paragraph are still breaking.

Hi Doug!

We did not upload the 1.14.1 update to themeforest yet since it contained only a few changes (mainly the mentioned paragraphs), currently this update is only available via our built-in updater in your wp-admin area where you can easily one-click update the theme and all of our plugins.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, Just a quick question, now I only have temp/test domain, if I activate the license, can I change domain name again?

Understood!!! 5 times is enough^^ Thanks a lot!

I think this theme is very promising, and your approach is indeed “fresh”. But I have problems with custom taxonomy archives and custom post archives. I get white pages. I tried assigning several different layouts in the Sitemap and the result is always a white page, no header, no title, simply nothing.
I can display single custom posts and they behave according to the layout chosen. Normal category archives, search pages work fine. But not custom taxonomy/post archives.
I use Toolset (WP-Types/Views) to manage custom content. Is your theme compatible with Toolset at all? Or perhaps I must activate something to make custom archives work? At first my custom posts were also all-white, but after I assigned a layout they displayed properly.

Hi new-horizons!

I cannot see a ticket from you in our system. It would be really interesting and educational for us, if you open it out and we will try to assist you with the CPT and Loop things. Because from our POV everything should work out of the box. So we would be interested in searching for what is not going well and improving it :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi Freshface, I tried to troubleshoot on my own. I solved the CPT archives by adding ”$args[‘post_type’] = ‘cpt-slug’; in Advanced Loop Settings.

As for taxonomy loops, I think Ark has a conflict with Toolset-Types. When it is activated, the loop prints a white screen, not even a header/footer. But when I deactivate Types, the same URL prints a standard blog (then obviously the taxonomy is not recognized anymore).

If you download Toolset-Types from WordPress and create a taxonomy in it, I think you will experience the same issue with that loop. I reinstalled the site with minimal plugins to check again. I think it is a general conflict Ark/Types and not related specifically to my site. Perhaps some PHP code should be added to loop settings.

Other than that, the theme is fantastic, exactly what I have been looking for! But I also need Toolset/Types to work… Cheers!

Hi new-horizons!

I think that I have figured that out. Could you please finally open the ticket? :-) It will help us o test the solution with you

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, I install new version 20-03-2017 and wp say this: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare check_assembled_query() (previously declared in D:\XAMPP7\htdocs\nauticseven.com\wp-content\themes\ark-child\functions.php:1073) in D:\XAMPP7\htdocs\nauticseven.com\wp-content\themes\ark\functions.php on line 1085

Hi estamoscreando!

You somehow copied this function (check_assembled_query) into your function.php in your child theme. Please search for the function and delete it. Then you will be fine

Thanks for building this theme it seems wonderful.

I am having trouble finding out how to (or if it is possible to) add a page to the main menu that looks like a button (red background with white text or something like that) so that it stands out from the rest.

How would I utilize the Header tool to build this?

Hi medustin!

In “Ark > Headers > Your header” there are options for adding “Custom Content”, you can utilise that feature to insert a “Template” which can contain anything you can create with Fresh Builder (so a button is certainly possible).

Thanks and cheers :)
