Hi, this theme is really nice for me who is a newbie in site design. I want to ask how i change Header font size and type? I see your Header video guide but i have only ‘General’ tab in Header Setting. There is no ‘Typography’ and other tabs.

Hi roguealcatraz!

Please use the “Pencil” icon in “Header Wrapper” togglebox :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, it’s really a nice theme, I have a problem with the shop.

1. I would like to view shop products as a demo

http://s21616.p679.sites.pressdns.com/healthyfood/product/high-protein-organic-greek-yogurt/

With left image and right text and without sidebar.

I was able to remove the sidebar to the right, but the image is put up and the text and the “add to cart” down …. how do i insert the products as in the demo?

This is my site: http://www.lanuovamontecatini.it/prodotto/mozzarella-di-bufala/

2. I set an attribute from the “Busta” name but the theme shows me blank !! So you can not see it.

3. I do not know if it depends on the theme, but if I choose a variation I do not see the price!

How can i fix qusti little inconveniences, thanks for the help !!

I enabled your custom CSS plugin and got a message:

“We just created ARK, currently the best WP theme on this planet (yes, you should hear the testimonials…)

In the next 24 hours, there is a way for our customers to get the ARK ($97) for FREE.

Interested? Luckily, you are one of them, so MORE INFO ABOUT HOW TO GET THE ARK ($97) FOR FREE

Followed the link but came to this page. Is this a real promo? I’m definitely going to check it out anyway because the reviews look great. Just wondering… ;)

Hi gowebgomobile!

Thank you for your question! It was a promo, but from 3/4 year back. We forgot to change the content of the Ad, but we will do it asap. In current situation, the promo has timed out already and the Ark is priced for $39.

No matter that I would definitely recommend you to check it out, it’s one of the greatest themes ever made :-)

Thanks and cheers! :)

I’ve been working with that theme now for a few hours. So far I find it not very user-friendly to be honest. (I compare it with the Uncode theme.)

1. It seems like you cannot work in multiple browser tabs parallel. Savings seem to get overridden. I experienced that with other themes before. To me, it is a pain in the ass, if I have to close and reopen tabs all the time.

2. The FreshBuilder offers a lot of options, but it is highly complex and it takes quite some time to understand how it all works.

3. I have not found, where to change the font settings globally for the different H headings.

4. The preview button has disappeared. Don’t know, if this is meant to be like that.

5. Colors that I have saved in Global Color section get overridden again? There seems to be no other spot to manage colors than in FreshBuilder. I have no clue how to save colors in the Global Color section, so that they keep getting saved there?

6. The documentation is kind of “brief”, to say it very politely.

Maybe you can tell me, how to work more efficient with your theme.

Cheers Florian

Hello,

Its weekend and im not behind the computer so i will get back to you soon. In the meantime, keep on mind that if you think that Ark does not work for you, you can of course get full refund. Cheers, Freshface

I am aware of your refund policy, thanks. You can, of course, reply tomorrow. No problem.

I have another question: Does dividing of columns work? At the moment, elements, that I have put in a divided column, appear on the bottom of the page.

Hi Rianling!

1.) Multiple tabs overrides only global options, like color library. Otherwise you are free to use them. If you think about the architecture, that the color library is actually global, it’s not trivial to share it across all tabs. You are approx 1 guy from 1000 who noticed this behavior. But we will improve it in future

2.) I strongly disagree here :) Every element in FreshBuilder have “General” tab. This tab contains all the settings you need to set for this element. It’s intuitive and well-describedr. Also every element have 4 system tabs (Box Model, Typography, element.style and custom code). These system tabs are inserted consistently across every builder interface. This is first time in history you can actually use any builder like this :)

3.) In current situation you can use the “Global Styles” located in the particular elements. We will be drastically improving this area in near future

4.) Due to poor WP architecture, preview button does not work, so we hide it. Anyway there is much powerful tool – using quick save, which automatically saves your page and refresh the brower tab.

5.) Explained in #1

6.) Strongly disagree here as well :). We really push our users to watch the “Introduction” video with engilsh voiceover. We also provide approx 20 – 30 video tutorials with english voiceover, covering every part of using the theme. These could be found on http://arktheme.com/ at the bottom of the landing page

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hey guys, I’m just diving into your theme. My first question: Is it possible to style buttons and other UI elements with a gradient?

Hi Rianling!

Yes, it is possible with some small custom CSS

Hi

I added comments form element below post on my sitemap and I’m trying to configure URL website field to be just optional. At now it’s required which is unlogical for me. How can i change it?

Hi snappik!

This field “Website” is WordPress internal field. It’s not possible to make it optional, it’s hardcoded in WP :)

Thanks and cheers! :)

I am having issues with SSL on my website using your theme. I am using a multisite environment and when I use simple SSL, it should work. I have done this to countless other website without any issues at all. I am getting insecure content from Fonts. I sent you a message via support, but no reply yet and I am really tired of running into issues with this. All links gets changed, everything gets changes to https, but insecure content coming from plugins folder which holds fonts. Like I said, I have done this several times and this is the first time using running into issues and the only difference is your theme. I read something about going into theme folder and updating links manually. I just want this thing to work…

I fixed everything, its OK.

Hi 360webfirm!

I’m glad to hear that!

Thanks and cheers! :)

Ark is a great theme and all but unless I am missing something, how do I add a local video t my Home page in my header section but there does not seem to be a browse button that will take me to the Media Library. I see that a YouTube videos are supplied via link, is this how a local video is enabled as well with a direct link you have to grab from the media library. Seems a bit backwards and not intuitive

Hi szamot!

We are really happy that you like Ark. About your question, could you be please a little more descriptive about where exactly do you want to insert the image?

Hi,

first, your theme is great, when I spend more time on it, I love it more, just there are 2 function is ARK can have will be prefect,

(1) submenu, ex: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold-2017/elements/sub-menus/

(2)sidemenu. ex: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/enfold-2017/elements/accordion/ It can auto show same level page in sidebar, and also show active in current page

Because show website have more page and level, with this 2 function can help user understand where he/she is

Hi dennis5495!

Thank you very much for your feedback! Currently both things could be achieved easily if you insert element “Sidebar” and then insert 3rd party widget inside, with this menu. But it’s definitely something we would want to integrate directly into the Ark in future

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi,

I already rating 5-star, because your theme let me feel what is “flexibility”, BTW, I try use sidebar with other plug-in before, But looks not good, I think if ARK can build-in this function will be prefect

Thanks^^

Hi dennis5495!

Thank you very much for your rating, we are happy that you are satisfied. About your suggestions, as I said before, it is something we definitely want to implement in the future.

Ark is getting bad GTMetrix, GZip not working with Ark, but Gzip works with other themes. Going to request refund.

Hi jwebster68!

1.) We were able to achieve GTMetrix score about 90

2.) GZip works with Ark without any issues, I personally tested it and there is nothing theme related which eventually could interfere

About your refund, we are accepting all refunds without any questions. But in your case I think that these issues can be easily solved. So I’ll reply to your refund and ask you for your credentials. Of course if you are not interested in assistance, we will refund you. But I honestly believe that Ark is one of the greatest themes ever made so you would actually benefit from giving it a shot.

Thanks and cheers! :)

What a pity! That’s what you posted three month ago: “Yes, check our Roadmap, it’s in the “Full Custom Post Type and Custom Fields integration”. We are working on it and when implemented, it will be revolution in WordPress, we can guarantee this.”...

Hi Master125SZ!

The thing is, that we need to prioritize and react real-time to new things which pops up. Since the ACF integration is already working and can be only enhanced, we decided to finish gallery firstly, because this feature is more demanded. Hope you understand.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi Congratulations, your theme is great, but it lacks something very important a Responsive Menu section Blocks to create several custom headers. One more section menu that has the possibility to choose for which screen size it would become responsive. Think about putting it in the upcoming update of Ark.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I’ll share it with our team members and discuss the navigation item suggestion and what would be the best way to implement it.

Hi, I just bought this theme and am following the documentation to set it up. I am at step 4, Fresh builder. I cannot get it to activate. I keep getting message: “There is a problem with FreshBuilder. Your page will be refresed. Please be patient then, the FB cache needs to be rebuilt…” I went to “System Status” and cleaned the cache. The CFBB cache is showing 2 files. I’ve tried to clean a few times. Help please! I am very early in setup process and want to do more :(

Please help, I really need this to start working.

Hi crispiness!

About your question, please post a ticket and we will get back to you asap.

Could it be installed on a multisite network and share the same menu? I would like to have a multisite shared menu with this theme. Is it possible?

Hi byrhon!

I’m not 100% sure, what does mean “sharing same menu”. But Ark works perfectly on multi-site networks :-). If you need any more details, could you be please a little more descriptive?

Well this is what I want to do. I want to set up a multisite network with a shared menu A menu that will be the same network wide here is an example http://www.merritt.edu/wp/ this site has over 200 sub-sites and it shares the same menu network wide

Hi byrhon!

I see what you want to achieve. The thing is, that this is not a standard WordPress feature. It can be achieved, but you will need to create custom JS and PHP codes to achieve this.

Hi, What about page speed? Is your builder lighter thanVisual Composer?

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
