Hello, I just got an email that mention to update the overlap themes. Can I know how to update the themes? Got any tutorial? Please assist on this. Thank you.

Of course the image in the second slide is a high resolution (1920×900px) but the image in the first slide is just 1280×600px so it’s pretty blur on high resolution screen. You have to edit the first slide to change the background image to the bigger one.

Hello, but the image i upload is 1920×900, it’s auto compress to 1280? Screenshot 1 Why? Please assist on this. Thank you.

Normally the slider won’t compress your image but displays it as uploaded. Try to check the background image in the Main Background settings tab of the first slide to make sure you’re choosing the correct image as the background.

If it doesn’t work, please PM me your admin login: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so I can help you out.

For some reason, the demo content doesn’t install correctly. When it comes to media content the installation process gets stuck. Could that be cause I didn’t install all plugins mentioned in the read me text file?

No, the scripts and jQuery plugins listed in the Credits section are included in the theme, you don’t need to install them.

As I mentioned, the importing process depends on your server performance and resource usage limits on your hosting plan. If you’re using a shared web host and you have the low limits, you would have a timeout error while importing so some images couldn’t be imported. You have to edit the pages and posts to replace those images with yours.

Also, to check your server configurations, if you have a WooCommerce plugin, go to WooCommerce -> System Status page to see the current server configuration limits. All settings in the Server Environment section should be greater than the minimum values provided in our documentation and there was no red color but should be green.

I have my own corporate server. Here are my WooCommerce System Status page details, no red lines there: `
  1. WordPress Environment ###

Home URL: http://johnbogomil.com Site URL: http://johnbogomil.com WC Version: 2.6.14 Log Directory Writable: ✔ WP Version: 4.7.3 WP Multisite: – WP Memory Limit: 256 MB WP Debug Mode: – WP Cron: ✔ Language: en_GB

  1. Server Environment ###

The problem seems to be similar when I try to upload my own slide to the Slider Revolution. I can upload images to the database, but they do not appear in the Slider, instead it shows red rectangle or just nothing.

Of course the server configurations are great! Everything should be working properly but I’m not sure why it doesn’t.

However, there are many script errors found on your website. It seems like you have too many plugins installed and there may be a conflict issue.

As I mentioned previously, you don’t need to installed the plugins listed in the Credits section in the Read Me First file because all of them are included in the theme. Please deactivate all other plugins on your website and keep only 3 bundled plugins provided in our documentation. And then reset your website and try to import demo again.

If it still doesn’t work, please PM me your admin login: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

hi, i just quickly want to know what is that font name which you used for overlap logo and text in the slides ? Please reply as quick as you can. Thanks

It’s called Hickory Jack, you can find the link to download in the Read Me First.html inside the main downloaded zip file.

Thanks for quick reply, appreciated

Can you use the one page option and have it on a seperate page like say for example a categories page and have buttons that would scroll to that next category and not as the home page like it is in the food demo.

You can create a custom One Page page on any other pages (that are not the home page) by following the step by step guide below:

1. Set the Row ID (such as category-1) for the row where it is an anchor of the section on the page.

2. You can set the link of the menu item (Custom Links type) to #category-1 (or set it to the Link Button element if you’d like) so when you click on this menu, it will bring you to the “category-1” section.

Hello, i have two questions concerning the overlap theme: I really want to buy it, but my server is already overwhelmed with the current theme. May I have the technical requirements, so that my host can check it? I always have problems with the memory limit and I think this will be similar here. And the second question: Is it possible to use the overlapping style with text and pictures (as shown in the home creative agency example) in blog posts? Or just for sides? I can’t find any example for bogposts.

best regards, Lea www.glasschuh.com

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in our theme!

1. This theme is running on WordPress website and it requires the same system requirements: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

Also, this theme comes with the Visual Composer and Slider Revolution plugin, here’s the recommended system requirements for the Slider Revolution plugin: https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/requirements-and-recommendations/

However, if you’d like to import demo content from the theme, we recommend you to set PHP configuration limits to the minimum as follows:

max_execution_time = 300

memory_limit = 256M

post_max_size = 32M

upload_max_filesize = 32M

max_input_vars = 5000

2. Of course, the Overlap Layout is integrated in the Visual Composer page builder, you can use it to build any pages and posts including portfolio posts.

Hi !

I’ve got the contact form 7 plugin and I would like to put it in the footer. But when I add the shortcode in the footer bloc text it doesn’t work… Do you know why ?

Thank you in advance for your answer!

Best regards,

You can put it in the footer content section.

1. Create a page to display the content in the footer.

2. Add a Contact Form 7 element into that page.

3. Go to Theme Options -> Footer, enable Footer Content and select the page from the first step as the Footer Page.

Hi, Please i have Contact form7 plugin and when i put shortcode in footer (In text block in theme options),but it dosent work..who can i have a form in my footer of my website ? Regards !

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.

Hello! As portfoliostyle I’ve chosen the “Overlap Masonry”. Could you please tell my why always the first picture is distorted? I edit the pictures to 1:1 squares but still it doesn’t work. As soon as I add another portfolio picture, the first again is distorted and the other one which was distorted before, slides to a smaller square and looks correct.

Thank you on your answer on how to fix this. Thank you!

The Overlap Masonry layout is a patterned layout. It will resize your images to fit each block in the layout. The first image of this layout always displays in 960×960px, please make sure your image is larger than that size so it will fit properly in the layout, see our demo: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/portfolio-overlap/

This is a theme design, if you wouldn’t like that style, please choose other layouts instead.

Hi there,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to make the pretty photo lightbox open so it doesn’t just fit the full image to the screen? I want it to automatically open at full size without having to expand the image using the little expand icon.

It will automatically open the full size (without having the expand icon) if your image is smaller than the browser window width and height. Otherwise, it will resize your image to fit properly within the window and you have to click on an expand icon to see the full size.

Hi there! Amazing theme and I really love working with it! I have a small issue with posting a comment : http://test.slingshotlondon.com/when-is-the-right-time-to-begin-pr-2/#respond , something is happening with wp-comments-post.php any idea how to fix that? I also have some problems with the CSS. When I apply my change in the Advanced Theme options it doesn’t seem to work. It works tough when I apply it in each individual page. It’s not for all the code but it’s a bit annoying. I’m giving you an example with what doesn’t work:

/remove buttons effect/ .w-link-button:not(.none) .w-border { -webkit-transition: none; transition: none; }

/responsive headings left/ @media only screen and (max-width: 991px) { .text-left, .text-right, .w-custom-heading * { text-align: left!important; } }

1. That is a built-in WordPress file, it’s not available in this theme. If you’ve made changes on that file and have any problem, you can replace it with the original file downloaded from wordpress.org or Github here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-comments-post.php

2. When you add custom CSS in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content, it should be inside style tag like below:


<style type="text/css">

.w-link-button:not(.none) .w-border { 

-webkit-transition: none; 
transition: none;

}

</style>

Hi Wyde, Check this page : https://www.brockwayproduction.fr/ You will see that since some update i get a weird behavior on list (look at the footer)

Regards.

Thank you for reporting this issue, it will be fixed in the next update.

Hi,

We’ve released the latest update of this theme, the list item also be updated. However, you will need to edit the Text Block element in the Footer page to remove the left margin from Design Options tab to move the list to be inside the column.

Hi, I’m trying to design my website with equal blocks. I want all of my text blocks under the title to be with the same hight. Can I specify as a template a specific row with it’s row hight? I couldn’t find where to set the row hight. thank you

You can select the “Equal Height” option in the row settings, all columns in the row will be equal with the same height.

Also, you can add an Empty Space element to increase the height of the column and the row too. See it on our demo: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/services/ scroll down to the section “How Can We Help You?”, of course both left and right columns have the same height.

  • sorry this is not intentional..

Hey! (AMAZING THEME BTW!

Im trying to figure out how i can get the thumbnails from all of the theme to pull from the top center of the images instead of the center-center of the images.. its cutting off the subjects & cropping the image in weird ways right now… ive done research & ive seen that adding this code:

“add_image_size( ‘wordpress-thumbnail’, 200, 200, array( ‘center’, ‘top’ ) );”

To the function.php would fix it.. but i don’t know where or if that is even possible without conflicting with the theme it self.

again, i just want to have the thumbnails (ex: thumbnails in portfolio) to show from the top center of the image & not the center-center of the image.

thanks

Don’t worry, the one above won’t conflict with the theme.

Here’s the thumbnails for the portfolio grid:


    add_image_size('overlap-medium', 340, 340, array( ‘center’, ‘top’ ));
    add_image_size('overlap-large', 640, 640, array( ‘center’, ‘top’ ));
    add_image_size('overlap-xlarge', 960, 960, array( ‘center’, ‘top’ ));

Also, please make sure you’re using a Child Theme and add the code to functions.php in your child theme instead.

how do i make sure i have “child theme” enabled?

You can find the overlap-child-theme.zip inside the main downloaded zip file. Simply install and activate it like any other themes.

Hi,

I use the typography “Pinyon Script” in the headers of my Overlap Website (I choose it in theme options) and I would like to use it also in a “Custom Heading” but i don’t find it in the list of typo of the customs headings. Is it possible to use this typography using Extra CSS Class or something else ?

Thanks a lot for your help

The Custom Heading element came from Visual Composer, there are only some fonts from Visual Composer provided available in the Google Fonts list for this element.

However, if you have choose any fonts in Theme Options -> Typograpgy, those fonts are available on your website so you can apply it to any element by using custom CSS as below:

1. Add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:

<style type="text/css">

    .pinyo-script-font,
    .pinyo-script-font * {
        font-family: 'Pinyon Script', cursive !important;
    }

</style>

2. Set the CSS class called pinyo-script-font into the Extra CSS Class field in the element settings window.

It works ! Perfect, thanks of lot.

Happy to hear that it works. Thanks :)

Hello. I am talking about a vertical position of “Team Members” block in laptops. After a team member has been clicked, a horizontal member content block is displayed in laptop, but it is so narrow, that there you cannot see more pictures I’ve set up below, so you have to scroll. Of course, in all vertical mobile devices is ok – a member content block is displayed in a vertical position where you can easy to navigate more pictures. But I want that the same content block should be visible in a vertical position in laptops and in all mobiles horizontal position. I failed to customize a CSS code, so I would be very appreciate if you help me on this issue. Thank you.

Or that it would be higher, that will cover the whole laptop screen.

Thank you for the screenshot. I get it.

The height of the lightbox popup depends on the height of the member image (featured image).

So when you have a pretty short featured image, the lightbox will be short too.

Of course, even you have a short popup but you can scroll to see all pictures inside it, this is on purpose.

However, there are 2 ways to increase the popup height:

1. Use the taller featured image, we’re using 600×800px in our demo so it’s not bad in the popup: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/about-us/

2. Add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to add some spaces between image so the popup will be higher:

<style type="text/css">

    @media only screen and (min-width: 992px){
        .member-content .member-image img {
            display:none;
        }    

        .member-content .member-detail {
            position: relative;
            padding: 50px 40px;
        }
    }

</style>

However, the popup always displays in the center of the screen. If you have very long content, your images would be out of screen, you have to scroll to see them all.

I have also replied to your email.

Thank you for your help! :)

Hi there, I’ve installed a new version of Visual Composer hoping that if I uninstalled the packaged version from my theme and installed the new one, that it would open up the “mobile screen width” menu functionality and allow me to better control ipad portrait layouts. Unfortunately it seems that nothing has changed on the back end other than the VC version is newer. I really wanted access to edit full layout of columns as a matter of urgency so I can get my site live. Visual Composer tech support who said:

“The issue is because there is a Visual Composer related code present in your theme added by the theme author. You will have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, otherwise you might lose the extra elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. “

Could you help please? Or advise why I can’t get access to these menus?

thanks very much!

Iain

It’s just that the above code changes how this template appears on ipads/tablets and I’m not sure how to get around it. If the code is removed, it appears fine but I really don’t want to remove it…! Any help much appreciated. :D cheers!

By default, the column container of the featured image will stretch to full the screen width on tablet as you can see on our demo: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/portfolio-item/portfolio-6/

Unfortunately, the code I provided above changes the width of that column on tablet so it won’t be full the screen.

Try to add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to see if it works:


<style type="text/css">
    @media only screen and (max-width: 991px) and (min-width: 768px){
        .portfolio-overlap > .row > .col-7 {
            width: 100%;
            float: none;
        }
    }
</style>

Awesome! Thanks so much!!

Hi Wyde,

Just installed your update and noticed there may be a small issue on the blog excerpt length not working correctly. I’ve limited my characters in overlap mode to 200, yet a few of the posts on the summary page show more than this number. Please see: https://www.resortstyle.net/news-views-events/

Thanks,

Ian

Just replied to your email!

Thanks Wyde,

This is my fault for not noticing basic Wordpress functionality. As ever your theme is amazing and support the best I’ve experienced from any author.

Thanks,

Ian

Thanks for your nice comments! Happy to hear that you like our theme :)

Hi, my google map in my contact page doesn’t work suddenly. http://www.nomadecontenu.com/contact/ It says : Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

How can I fix that ?

thanks,

There was an error message in the browser console, it says “Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError”. Please make sure you’ve set a valid Google Maps API key in Theme Options -> Google Maps.

ok but how do a get a Google Maps API key ? I google it a bit, and I don’t have a physical commerce address. I made my map using the manual cursor to point a neighborhood area (approx) ....

You don’t need to add a physical commerce address. You can click on a link “Get an API key” in Theme Options -> Google Maps. Please do it on the Theme Options panel instead of using WordPress Customizer.

It will bring you to this page: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#key

Login with your Google account, click on “Get A Key” button or follow those steps below the button on that page to create a Google API key.

Hi, i see the update and apply it, but i didnt see anything about Schema.org Microdata or internal links issue i report. Does it is still planned ?

Hi Wyde, i use the code you link me to, it work well, but i found a bug into this snippet : https://www.brockwayproduction.fr/wordpress-pieges-eviter-site-efficace/

If you look, having a title with a ” ’ ” into it will create an issue, check the prev link of the page i send.

i will try to test later with this one and see if i get better results : https://wp-mix.com/wordpress-titles-post-navigation-links/

Just wanted to let you know in case you decide ton include that in your theme someday, because i think it’s a good seo practice, and your theme and use will benefit from it.

Thank you for the link!

In the link I provided, they use a ’ (single quote) in the title attribute, unfortunately when you have a ’ in the title, it will break the HTML structure.

To work around this, please replace:
str_replace("rel=", " title='".$title."' rel=", $link);
with:
str_replace('rel=', 'title="'. $title .'" rel=', $link);

Cheers!

Like always with you, never disapointed, work like a charm !
