Hi! 1. I try arc theme on my friend website and i found that it does not work in such builders as “beaver builder” and “elementor”. A fresh builder is a very good plugin, but sometimes I would like to be able to use a different builders with your theme. 2. I have a great idea how to make your plugin the best among other builders: make it possible to inline editing texts and pictures in the front-end. The fact is that the fresh builder is a very good plug-in for the developer, but it is complicated for the usual site editor. And a big mistake for all developers of builders is that they completely duplicate the interface of the builder in the front-end. The best solution is to create 2 interfaces: complete for developers and very simplistic for site editors

Hi le-serg!

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us, we are very happy to see that we have users who are so passionate about The Ark.

I think you should be able to use all these other plugins as well. Just make sure to switch to their page mode. Regarding your other question, that’s an interesting idea, feel free to send us a message from our profile page if you would like to share more details about the point where developers blend with site editors in your workflow and we can discuss it in more detail. We are always looking for new ways to make Ark even better.

Thanks and cheers! :)

1. No I can not, they do not turn on, there is some mistake. If you are interested, you can check it yourself: both the elementor and beaver builder are available on https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Maybe I would buy your theme if they were working

Hi.

I am looking at templates since I have to buy one. I just saw the demo of “Topbar Languages”, I assume that it can stay fixed and that WPML will be deployable. The demo I guess is not up to date. I also take it for granted that a menu can be inserted in the “Topbar”.

Regards.

Hi Luis!

Yes, we don’t use WPML on our demo (would be an overkill to create a different language versions just for demo purposes). That being said, Ark is fully compatible with the WPML plugin. You can insert a menu “sidebar” widget into the topbar. The topbar has the same canvas for building like the page content so you can build there almost anything. By the way, shopping with us is risk free, so you can simply try The Ark and if you won’t like it, you can ask for a full refund.

Thanks and cheers! :)

I selected the “Slider” section that has the unique class of: .ffb-id-hqaetda .ffb-slide-1 and need to apply a longer interval. There are no settings for this slider and I don’t see any documentation for it. Can you help?

The selected section: slider

The slider main settings view: slider setting

Hi Josh!

We have that option in other slider but this particular doesn’t seem to have it. I have assigned a developer to implement this option there in the next updates. In the meantime you can temporarily change the interval value in the theme files in this file:

/wp-content/themes/t-ark/assets/scripts/app.js

Interval can be changed on line 66 which looks like this by default:

interval: 5000,

Thanks and cheers! :)

Beautiful, thank you for your quick and helpful response! That option would be great considering you can’t easily use Nav Title to customize the navigation in other sliders.

Hi there, plz check your support contacts, cause we have 2 days now without any reply. Tnk

Hi panagiotiskiafis!

I see reply after 6 hours, asking for your hosting specifications. Maybe it falls into spam folder?

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, before I buy, I need to know if it´s possible to put YouTube/Vimeo videos to appear as lightbox in the portfolio, like this exemple: http://www.guilhermecoelho.com

Also, if can be done exactly like the example, with the whole picture clickable to view the lightbox video.

Hi Dani!

Yes, this is possible to create with The Ark, including the same grid layout. Should you have any more questions about this later, feel free to open a support ticket with your wp-login at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/ and we will assist you directly.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, I’m having a problem with the fresh builder. I’m trying to editing a page but it keeps loading saying “It can take up to 2 minutes after updating the theme due to advanced caching”. More than 2 minutes passed.

Could you please suggest something I can do to fix the issue? Thanks.

Hi dingolt!

This is really unusual, it should load within couple of seconds on a good server so there must be something wrong. First try clearing the caches at “Ark > Dashboard > System Status. If that won’t help, please open a ticket at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/ with your wp-login and we will look into it.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi I need to develop a design into a WordPress website. I was wondering if your theme allowed for this type of customization. 1. logo overlapping the header and content area 2. side bar navigation that overlays the large image.

design example- https://ibb.co/kUkLD5

Hi bmackler!

Out of the box, logo overlap is only available for desktop I think. Either way, it’s pretty easy to write a couple lines of CSS to have it overlap on mobile as well, just ask for our help later via a ticket and we will look into it. But personally I would recommend not doing the overlap style on mobile because it might look weird when you toggle open the mobile navigation menu – just something to think about.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Thank you very much for your time. Lastly wondered about the textured header/footer can I add that in to the design (either css or out of the box)? and of course, single page layout is fine, right?

Hi bmackler!

Happy to help! :)

Yes, you can do all that out of the box.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hello. Is it safe to update to WP 4.7.4 with latest Ark?

Hi rimlightstudio!

Sure, I don’t see a reason not to. We update the theme regularly and plan to do so for a long time.

Thanks and cheers! :)

is there a way to mix portrait and landscape photos in a carousel slider in full screen. a lot of guys call this ribbon slider…

Hi CinestylePro!

Not exactly sure what you mean by a ribbon slider but feel free to simply try it and if it won’t do what you have set just ask us for a refund. Try the “Slider (Custom)” or “Carousel (Custom)” elements in our Fresh Builder.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Is it possible to redirect to “thank you page” from contact form/form wrapper??

Hi flerkunder!

Currently there is JS hook, which is triggered when the message is sent, no matter if successfully or not successfully. In next update, we will introduce also hooks, which will be triggered after confirmation, that the email was / wasnt sent. In the meantime you can use the javascript hook described in “Form Wrapper” element.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi. I want to buy a theme. Is the plugin “Custom Sidebar Manager” included in the theme? Does it support WP 4.7.4?

Hi velesweb!

Custom Sidebar Manager is not included, because Ark itself has unlimited amount of sidebars, so it’s not needed. The WP 4.7.4 is of course supported. We are updating the theme on regular schedule to be sure, that it’s working with all latest updates.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Dont know if this is the right place but i place my request for coming version here. Love the theme but one thing is missing. You should be able to set pagination in portfolio not depending of maximum items in each category or in total. Its not a good design to be forced to hade 200 items shown per page if you want to show all items under All category.

Hi josj1609!

Please accept my apology for delayed answer. We were discussing your request with our team members, but were not able to figure out how exactly you would like the pagination on Portfolio to be working. Can you be please a little more descriptive?

Thanks and cheers! :)

OK I will try, Lets say that i have a portfolio with a total of 200 items. Theese are divided in 4 categories with 50, 60, 20 and 70 items. I have the All enabled so that custumers can view all categories. I dont want 70 items in a category or all 200 to be visible without pagination, its to many and take to big place. So I want a pagination of 10 or 20 items per page. I also or course want to able to show the number of items in each category and in all over the category name. To view for custumers how many there are. If i set the max per page today the items shown is just up to the max. I Think a lot need pagination not to be conected to how many there is at all. I want to have 10 per page in each category shown, aven all category. But want the total number of items to be shown in each category and i want to be able to view all with help of the pagination. Do i make my self understandeble? I can view exemple site in you dont get me intension :-)

Hi!, I was wondering, is there a way to change the animation of the one page menu? Right now when I click on the menu the one page section appears with a “fade in” animation, and I need to see it as a scroll , I don’t know if I explained myself well

Hi Gabys86!

We would need to see it in action and your settings in backend, please open a support ticket at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/ and include your wp-login. We will then help you make it scroll rather than fade.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi there. I received this theme as part of a loyalty giveaway you offered due to my purchase of another of your themes.

The licence key included with the theme package says it’s in use on another domain. When I click on “Show Licence” it shows 5 other users activations – one which is active, and 4 which are disabled.

How can I activate, as I need to update the theme to the latest version.

Thanks, Aaran

Hi aaran76!

Please open a ticket and we will get back to you :-)

Hi guys, enjoying the theme – great work!

Wondering if/where it’s possible to customise the navigation style so the hover effect isn’t a box around the nav item (like most of the demos), rather an underline (more of a material style i.e. https://design.google.com/).

Thanks!

Hi Pixelrob!

I think it might be possible, please open a support ticket at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/ and we will try and help you out with this directly on your website.

Thanks and cheers! :)

OK thanks guys, coming through shortly :)

I see your ticket now, thank you. We will get back to you there.

I added the blog, and it says that it has 3 columns, but it shows 4. And i cannot find where to change it to 3 columns anywhere. Please help.

Hi shirux!

There are 20+ blog elements and all of them can set the number of columns for every breakpoint. Most probably you set the columns only for one breakpoint. Can you please check it out and if it does not work, can you please open ticket? We will do our best to assist you ASAP.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, I sent you email regarding two possible bugs 13 hours ago, but got no reply. So I leave message here again:

The first issue is regarding the static header issue on iphone. Already recorded video and uploaded to youtube. Pls check.

in addition, I found the update the theme becomes more difficult – once I click “update all above” under “updates” of Ark, the whole admin site will wait for 2-3 mins, then become a blank screen. I have to click the admin URL again, in order to come back. But nothing updated after that.

Please help. thanks

Hi greentealeaf!

We were having holiday. Our guaranteed response time is within 24 hours, but we usually respond much faster. Please urge us only in case, when we did not responded after 24 hours, it creates overhead for us and wont lead to faster response :-)

I’ll keep the discussion in the ticket

Hi,

Whenever I edit something on my page, the whole page just loads a white screen. Can you give me some idea as to why this keeps happening? It’s EXTREMELY frustrating!

Thanks

Hi Rendor!

This is definitely not a standard behavior and should not be happening, so most probably there is some kind of problem with your server environment. Can you please open ticket with more detailed description of this behavior? It is on front-end or backend? Can you include your WP login and all relevant URLs?

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi,

Don’t worry – it turned out to be related to the page layout. Once I chaged this to full width, the page loaded correctly. However, I am now experiencing another issue, so I will open a support ticket.

Thanks!

Hi Rendor!

Glad to hear you got it sorted now, we will answer your other ticket then.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi posting my presale question again hoping you can answer my question:

Hi there, Pre sale question.

Is the theme able to offer the same portfolio hover effects as shown here from your won website:

https://gyazo.com/62e5f95e16eb425ad63bf4f2e909fe69 Please let me know, if so I will purchase right away!

Thanks,

Hi kali27!

I’m sorry for late answer, but we have holidays and the guy, who developed this effect is not on duty during these holidays. Anyway as far as I know, this effect is custom javascript and for 95% we will be able to reproduce it and send it to you :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

Thank you kindly for your reply! I have a last question before my purchase. Are the images shown in the demo theme included? And also am I able to install multiple demos on different sub domains of a single website?

I wanted to showcase different live demos on my companies website sub domain so I can showcase the different templates, or site of website we can offer them with ark. Thanks,

Hi kali27!

1.) Images are included, but pixelated, because they cannot be distributed with the theme due to licensing (this is standard for any other WP theme)

2.) Multiple demos on one website would be a problem. Create WordPress multisite and you should be fine :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)
