The Slider Revolution plugin is included in the theme. You can normally use this plugin without registering the product purchase code, the product activation option is available for users who have purchased this plugin individually and to enable auto update for the plugin. Of course you don’t need it since it was packed with the theme and need to be updated by the theme author.

Please see more details on how to install bundled plugins in our documentation.

Thanks!

Hello,

I bought your theme today and I am trying to get the visual composer to work.(does it work on the front end?) When I navigate to a page on WP and see the visual composer option, it takes me to the VC website. I tried to use the Read Me included with the zip from themeforest, but it hasn’t helped me figure it out. Thanks for the help.

I also tried to use my themeforest purchase code to register the Slider Revolution, but it said that it was the wrong code… Please help!

Hello,

The frontend editor is disabled in this theme as stated on the theme features: https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205#item-description__theme-features

This theme comes with custom elements and they are not compatible with the Frontend Editor so it was disabled by default.

We would recommend you to use the Backend Editor instead, it’s faster and we always use it to build the pages and any content on our demo sites.

Regarding the purchase code, the purchase code you have is for your purchased product, of course it’s for the theme so you couldn’t use it to register any other plugins.

Both Slider Revolution and Visual Composer are included in the theme, you can normally use it without registering or activating the product as stated in our documentation. That option is available for users who have purchased the plugin individually and to enable auto update and access the direct support from the plugin author but you don’t need it since the plugin was packed with the theme and need to be updated by the theme author instead.

Hi there,

I absolutely love this theme! It’s so different and great to use that I’m creating a portfolio website for my business with it.

Is there any way of changing how the first portfolio layout appears on ipad/tablet though? It’s gallery at the bottom of each portfolio page – single images look huge and would look much better if they were 3 or 4 across, like the desktop view.

Can this be done?

thanks!

Iain

Thank you for your nice comments!

That gallery is a carousel. Unfortunately, the carousel displays only 1 image on mobile and tablet by default. We will change the carousel settings in the next update. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Thanks for letting me know. This option would really be a great addition to the theme functionality.

Hello,

Do you have a list of sites using the overlap theme? Thanks!

We’re sorry, we don’t have any list of sites using this theme. However, 700 clients have purchased this theme and we suppose that they’re all using it on their sites because we have no negative rating for this theme as you can see on the product details page: https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205

Hi there, quick one – where can I change the p tag to only have 10px of bottom-padding rather than 25px? Thanks!

Hi there,

You have to add custom CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as below:


<style type="text/css">

    p{
        margin-bottom: 10px;
    }

</style>

Thanks for the reply!

I have problems with the display of a video in home at mobile version. Only at home because I have a more videos in others page but no problems. what can I do?

First of all, try to check the column settings to see if you have disabled it on mobile. Edit the column container of the Video Player, select the Responsive Options tab and make sure you have unchecked all options in “Hide on device”.

If it still doesn’t work, you will need to PM me your site URL so I can inspect any errors on your website: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Ok problem resolved thanks!

In what part of the slider I can change the time ? because the text is very fast and does not give time to read it. Thanks

You can manage it in the Timeline Controls at the bottom of the slide editor. You can drag and move the time of the Slide Main Background (blue color) to change the time of the whole slide, see more details in the documentation here: https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/layer-animations-timeline/#layers-timing-sorting

Hi,

A quick questions, what are the possibilities and flexibility to change blog layout to something like this http://demo.mekshq.com/?theme=gridlove How can i modify the default blog layout something similar to the link mentioned above ?

Your quick answer will be appreciated

Of course you can modify the blog layout similar to the link above.

This theme allows you to edit the blog template file in your child theme. Copy the blog template file from “wp-content/themes/overlap/templates/blog/content.php” and put it in your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/templates/blog/content.php” and then edit it to suit your needs.

However, as you know the theme modification is not included in the support, you will need to do it by yourself I couldn’t help you with this.

If you have experience with the theme modification and PHP language, of course it’s easy to edit this. Or you would find someone who can help you modify the theme on Envato Studio: https://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress-customization

Thanks for your quick reply

In where part of the them I can put the Google analytics code? thanks!

You can put it in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Body Content.

Ok thanks!

Hey, I am not using this theme yet but I was wondering if it is possible to put a video in the header? If yes does anyone can show me an example? would be great :-) thank you so much for that

Hi,

Thank you for your question!

In this theme, there are 2 ways to put the video in the header (as a video background).

1. Add it in the Slider Revolution as you can see here: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/onepage/

2. Set it as the video background for the header. I just created a new page to show you here: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/video-header/

Thank you so much. That is awesome. And just one more question: Is it possible to put a logo in front of the video in the header? For example .eps?

Of course you can add your image logo into an Image Layer in the Slider Revolution.

However, the EPS file is not a web format image, all major browsers do not support this file format, you have to convert it to image format such as PNG.

Hi, 1º is there any way to expand the pixels of the header menu to be able to enlarge the logo? 2º I put a video of youtube at the home, but when I see in the mobile the video not appear . What happens?

THANKS!

Hi, I continue with the error of playing video at home in mobile versión. what can I do?

I’ve never seen this issue before, actually the Video Player element can play videos on any devices, you can try it on our demo here: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/elements/video-player/

Please provide me your site URL so I can find if there was anything wrong.

yes, its the only video that we have problems because we have anothers videos in the web and its ok. 2017.festivaldelalavanda.com Its the video in home . Thanks

Hello. How to add an additional “w-slider-nav a:after” (“Next” arrow button/icon) to a left position in slider block? I mean, there is a “Next” arrow icon visible in a right side by default in a food slider block, but I need a “Previous” arrow to be visible in a left side.

Hello,

This Overlap Slider is a custom slider from this theme, it has only an arrow icon to show the next slides in the right side, this is the theme design. You have to click on a dot navigation below the next arrow icon to show the previous slides or click next until it displays the first slide again.

If you’d like to show both previous and next arrow buttons, please use the Slider Revolution instead.

Thank you.

My blog section isn’t showing my newest blog. I need some help ASAP!

If you have any cache plugin installed. Try to check if you have enabled a database caching feature. Or try to deactivate other plugins to see if it works.

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

Dear sir/madam,

Recently I bought the template Overlap https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205

I’ve got it up and running but I’ve got a problem with the portfolio part. As you can see on www.designys.nl, when hovering, there is a magnifier. Clicking on this leads to a lightbox with just the image in it. I want to hide the magnifier and just want when someone clicks that he’ll be direct to the more information page. On your forums I found an option ‘Image Rollover’, turning this on/off would solve my problem. But I can’t find the option in the Theme Options, searched for it everywhere.

Hope you can help me.

Kind regards,

Nyssa van Leersum

Hello,

You can choose the “Duke” for the Hover Effect, it will hide the magnifying glass icon. Edit the Portfolio Grid element on that page to change it.

Also, in the future please contact from the account that purchased this theme.

Hi, i am having trouble uploading my overlap theme to my wordpress site, it seems that although ive followed all the instructions in the guide to install the theme, i still cannot get it to work, any ideas to help me install ?

If you couldn’t install the theme via WordPress admin, try to install it via cPanel File Manager or FTP. You can find the instructions in our documentation.

Hi,

Just a couple of pre-purchase questions:

1. Can I use video on the slider? 2. Can I have a shop feed (say 4 products) on the Home page?

Many thanks

Thanks for the above :)

Our clients are asking us what the best format, size and length is for a video to be used on the home page slider for this demo:

We need to let our client know the most suitable length and size so that it does not slow down the site.

Many thanks

In our demo, we use HD MP4 video (1280×720px) and the file size is 3.9MB, the length is 37 seconds. Actually you can use a smaller one if you’re using a shared webhost or use YouTube and Vimeo videos rather than MP4 self-hosted video that won’t slow down your site.

awesome thank you :)

Hi -

I am trying to figure out how to set the featured image on the blog archive pages to show the full image (or the full aspect ratio of the image). We are using the overlap layout on http://wyominguntrapped.org/category/news/ and up until a few days ago it would work with vertical images as well and it would post the full image. Now the image is getting cut off no matter what and not adhering the the aspect ratio. I already tested all of our plugins to make sure something wasn’t interfering. Any clues as to why this stopped working? I did update the theme, but it seemed to happen before the update.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I see that the sizes are cropped on your demo, but when we first starting using the Overlap setup on our Blog page, it actually would allow for vertical images to display fully. Please see this page – http://wyominguntrapped.org/category/news/page/2/ – for an example (The March 15 post). So I am confused, because clearly it was working a different way for a while?

Because that image is smaller than 960×540px so it displays without cropping but stretches to full the image area instead, as you can see it looks a bit blurry. Of course it will be cropped if it’s larger than the target size.

I see. Okay, thank you – that makes sense.

Hi,

Great theme! How do I change the colors of the testimonials. Is there a possibility to choose for the light one somewhere?

You can choose the text color in the column settings, edit the column container of the Testimonials and choose the Text Style.

What about the background?

When you choose the Light for Text Style, the background color of the Testimonials will be black to make the text stand out from the background, as you can see in our demo: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/elements/testimonials/

To change it to other colors, you have to add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:


<style type="text/css">

.w-text-light .w-testimonials-slider:before{
    background: #000;
}

</style>

Hin the update didnt seems to fix the list issue.

Regards.

We’ve updated the list. You will need to edit the Text Block element in the Footer page to remove the left margin in Design Options tab to move the list to be inside the column.

The solution you provide in previous comment work like a charm, thanks.
