Hi There,

I want to add other colors to my header – main navigation(blue,green etc.) instead of dark and light colors.

Thank you in advance.

The latest version of overlap is not getting installed properly on wordpress 4.8 :- contact form 7 won’t get activated, demo content – sliders, widgets and media would fail.

I installed 4.7.5 and installed an earlier version of overlap theme. It worked fine and then I updated wordpress to 4.8. Now I can’t override the parent theme of overlap.

I have made a lot of alterations in my child theme and have lost all of it.

I believe I’m making errors in panic. Please help as I was going to upload my portfolio site this weekend.

Is there a way to send you my login credentials.

If you’d like you can send me your login credentials in the contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Anyway, if you’d like to import demo content in the latest update of the theme, you have to install the new update of Overlap Demo Content plugin (1.0.4) that’s included in the main downloaded zip file.

Hi Guys… I have just updated the theme and there is a problem with my website.. loads of info and images missing.. the blog and testimonials too… does this have something to do with Visual Composer? Please can you advise what is the problem… I can’t have the website showing what it looks like once updated as my client will not be happy…. so I had to do a restore on it to what it looked like before the update. Do I send you the access details so you can fix it for me and what email address do I use please? Thanks….

I was going to leave you to do this because my client does not want their website looking like it does when I update :-( ... I have updated it for you but please may I kindly ask you to have a look at it and please sort problem urgently…. Thank you again!

This is a browser caching issue. Normally WordPress appends a file version as a querystring to the link of the file to force browsers to load the new files from the web server.

However, you have a plugin called “MainWP Child” that removes all querystrings from the files. Although you have updated the theme, the browser is still using the old file from the cache instead since the version of the file was removed.

You should deactivate MainWP Child plugin to solve this issue. Also, if there is anything wrong after you update the theme, try to press Ctrl+F5 (Command+R on Mac) to refresh your browser caches and to make sure your browser is using the new updated files instead of the old files from the caches.

Thank you so much!

Hello! I recently purchased this theme and I absolutely love it. I would like to make a couple changes that I cannot seem to find in the Theme Options. 1. I would like to enable transparency on the Header for blog archives (category & tags). To see an example go to: http://www.followthatluggage.com/category/life/ 2. I would like have the sidebar on my single posts to be “sticky” when it comes to the last widgets so that the sidebar side doesn’t have a blank white area when scrolling down the article.

Here is my purchase & license info: http://www.followthatluggage.com/category/life/

Sorry, here is my purchase code: 0132970b-3698-4474-8ab0-58adced874dc – 13 May 201

1. Unfortunately, there is no option to enable transparency on the header for blog archive pages in the current version. In the next update, when you enable the Transparent Header on the blog page, it will affect the blog archive pages too. Thank you for reporting this issue.

2. I’m sorry, this feature is not included in this theme as you can see it is not available on our demo sites.

Hi,

I’m using a child theme and trying to override typography styles in overlap-child-theme/style.css. However, any changes here are overridden by main.css as presumably this is being called after the child theme’s stylesheet. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Alex

Hrmmm. That doesn’t appear to be working.

I’ve tried it before I provide the code, it works fine on my end. Please carefully check the code again.

The code below will add style.css after main.css and shortcodes.css


wp_enqueue_style( 'overlap', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('overlap-main', 'overlap-shortcodes'), null );

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

Oh apologies. That has worked. Excellent. Sincere thanks for your help!

Download the Overlap theme, but everything is difficult for me. Inquiries: 1- Promises 70 templates, where are they? 2- How to put the normal horizontal menu on the home page? 3- How do I activate my Visual Composer account? Thank you

1. You can import demo content in Theme Options -> Home so you will receive all pages/content as seen on our demo site.

2. Actually after you import demo content you will also receive all menus and settings. Anyway you can change the top menu layout in Theme Options -> Navigation ->

3. The Visual Composer plugin is included in the theme, you can normally use it without activating the product purchased code. The activation option is available for direct customers only to get the automatic update feature but when it was bundled with the theme, it needs to be updated by the theme author instead.

Also, you can see more details of all above questions in our documentation.

Hi there, love the theme!

I have a few issues though:

1. Google map seems to have a problem. Or the icon is not showing, or the address is shown incorrectly. Looks like a bug.

2. Responsive design -> ‘hide on mobile’ does not work. Whenever I select ‘hide on mobile’, the column is still shown on that device

Could you please look into these issues for me?

Looking forward to your respond.

Could you please provide me your site URL and admin login? You can PM me in the contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hi There,

Sorry to bother you again. All your previous help has worked out flawlessly. Thank you once again.

I have a question – Blog section has pagination. Can I remove the pagination for the blogs?

Thank you in advance.

HI There,

I have selected infinite scroll as my pagination in Theme Options as well as the blog page. I have also removed the number of posts displayed on the page-that field is blank; but still after the 10th post, the next post(11th) looks like the first post it does not flow with the masonry grid.

Please help.

Thanks once again.

Once I added the number of posts to 10. It solved the issue. Thanks once again for all the help.

Anyway, if you’d like you can add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to hide the pagination on blog page:

<style type="text/css">
.pagination {
display: none;
}
</style>

Hi, for activate the shop is necessary to instal the woocommerce plugin?

Yes, you will need to install and activate WooCommerce plugin to enable the shop on your WordPress site.

hi there nice theme you made i wanted to purchase but my friend bought this theme and had an issue with featured image on blog he said that this theme has featured image on left while heading of post is in center position this cost his Blog to be weird looking i am wondering will i get in same problem as he is right now after buying the theme?

there must be some CSS codes for this people are doing blogging on this topics and i have no knowledge in CSS that’s why i am not satisfied enough to buy this theme but it is amazing

Actually when you have small image, it should be in the center of the page, I just add new blog post with 900px of the width to show you how it would be: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/blog-post/

Also, you can enable sidebar on your blog post if you have small image: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/at-some-point/

Thank you I have just Solved his problem now i will buy this theme in a few days its perfect for me everything is ok

Hi and many thanks for a great theme! Could you please help me out with the portfolio grid? I been trying forever and seem to be unsuccessful making it work.

Is there a problem that you know of? I installed the demo and have been uploading pictures into the portfolio posts, but still nothing shows in the grid.

Hi! I just managed to figure things out myself. Thank you, it is working perfectly. Could I ask for help to find how to (if possible) change the headlines in portfolio from “Client” to something else?

All static words are included in POT file, you can translate or edit them by using a translation plugin like Loco Translate: https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/

You can also use the POEdit to translate the POT file via your child theme, you can see more details on how to translate the theme in our documentation.

Also, there is another way to change it. Copy the template file from your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap/templates/portfolio/widget-clients.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/templates/portfolio/widget-clients.php”, and then edit the template file in your child theme to change that word.

Thanks again!

I’m having issues where the shop pages that are auto-populating like categories and such – they aren’t showing up properly in their rows?? See http://8ae.c57.myftpupload.com/product-category/tabletop/

This is a bug of the theme when you choose “Show subcategories” for the “Default category display”. To work around this, go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Display, in “Default category display” choose “Show products”.

Anyway, thank you for reporting this issue, we will fix it in the next update.

Hi Wyde, using CF7 in the footer to get newsletter email is a nice way of integrating such a function without use of any plugin, but it has downsides too :

1- Contact form is spammed from robots 2- It does not have all the advantage of the mailchimp plugin that let you have double confirmation, auto-add to the list and so on.

In previous theme you supported that, and it’s a shame imo that was discontinued. i understand that you couldnt make it compatibles with all mailing plugin, but it would be so great to have it back someday ;)

Regards.

I’ve never tried but I think this theme should be compatible with MailChimp too. You can try it if you’d like :)

Hi There,

I was wondering on the blog masonry layout can I replace the the facebook icon to a phrase “Share on Facebook”? As I have only 1 social media link. The sole icon looks very odd.

Thank you in advance.

Actually that is just the icon to allow the visitors to share your post on their social media websites, even you have only 1 social media link (Facebook) but you should allow the visitors to share your post on other social websites like Twitter and Google+ too.

Anyway, if you’d like to change that icon to the text, you have to edit the template file in your child theme.

1. Install and activate overlap-child-theme.zip

2. Open cPanel File Manager to copy “wp-content/themes/overlap/templates/blog/meta-shareicons.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/templates/blog/meta-shareicons.php”.

3. Edit the template file in your child theme to replace the whole code in the file with:

<div class="post-share">
    <a href="<?php echo 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='. urlencode( get_permalink() ); ?>" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a>
</div>

Thank you very much.

Hello Wyde,

I’m a french user, please scuse my english… I’m trying to solve a problem for me.

in http://wydethemes.com/overlap/blog/blog-overlap-full-width-right-sidebar/

i see the fourth post (if you can imagine…) in F12->CSS code i find “format-quote”, instead of standard-format how can i define the format-quote in my post edit ??

i check all the post options in the content demo, but i can’t find the solution…

could you help me please ?

best regards

Hello,

The Post Format is a build-in WordPress feature, you can choose the post format in the Format box in the right hand side (below the Publish box) when you add/edit the post.

Hi Wyde, i try to change header opacity, but it change also opacity of sticky menu, so i try those line of code, but seems that everytime i change header opacity it change sticky too, can you help me on that ?

header:before{

background:rgba(255,255,255,0.3); } #header.w-sticky{ background:rgba(255,255,255,0.7) }

Hi,

Here’s the custom CSS to change the header background opacity without changing the sticky:


#header:before {
opacity: 0.3;
}

However, if you enable the Transparent Header option, it will set the opacity to 0, if you’d like to change it, here’s the code:


#header.w-transparent:before {
opacity: 0.3;
}

So simple, so easy, like always. Thanks you :)

Hi there,

LOVE this theme.

I’d like to know what css or html is needed to ensure that my mobile site resizes back to the original size, rather than zooming out. I would like to keep the option for website users to zoom in though.

http://www.viragocreative.com/

Does that make sense?

This is a website I found where the of html/css allows the website user to zoom in, but not zoom out past the original size: https://www.thenatives.com.au/

Thank you :)

Try to put it into Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content as below to see if it works:

<style type="text/css">

@media screen and (max-width: 991px) {

.vc_custom_1495243738215,
.vc_custom_1495243346406 {
    border-top-width: 0 !important;
    border-right-width: 0 !important;
    border-bottom-width: 0 !important;
    border-left-width: 0 !important;
}

}

</style>

No luck with that either :(

When you set the borders in Design Options, Visual Composer will add custom CSS to the bottom of other CSS codes so it will override others.

Here’s the new code that will override the CSS from Visual Composer:

<style type="text/css">

@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {

#content .row.vc_custom_1495243738215,
#content .row.vc_custom_1495331489646 {
    border-top-width: 0 !important;
    border-right-width: 0 !important;
    border-bottom-width: 0 !important;
    border-left-width: 0 !important;
}

}

</style>

Hi There,

I’m getting a javascript error on the blog page Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘addEventListener’ of null

Due to which the blog (masonry grid) page is not getting displayed properly on safari and firefox browsers.

Please Help! Thank you in advance.

There may be a plugin conflict on your site. Try to deactivate other plugins to see if it works.

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

Thank you. It works great!

I have another question for you. In the blog post comment section-I do not want website input. can i remove that or even replace that with a an address field or provide their social media presence link?

Thank you once again in advance.

You can add custom filter to your child theme to remove the website field.

1. Please make sure you have installed and activated overlap-child-them.zip.

2. Go to Appearance -> Editor to edit the Overlap Child theme.

3. Add the custom filter below to Theme Functions (functions.php):

function overlap_child_comment_form_fields( $fields ){

    if( isset( $fields['url'] ) ) {
        unset( $fields['url'] );    
    } 

    return  $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','overlap_child_comment_form_fields', 99);

Also, here’s the custom filter to replace it with the Social Media field:

function overlap_child_comment_form_fields( $fields ){

    if( isset( $fields['url'] ) ) {
        $fields['url'] = '<p class="inputrow"><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="'. esc_url( $commenter['comment_author_url'] ) .'" placeholder="'. esc_html__('Social Media', 'overlap').'" size="22" tabindex="3" /></p>';    
    } 

    return  $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','overlap_child_comment_form_fields', 99);

Hello, I have an issue uploading the demo content, I increased the php settings but still obtained the same result. I want to import the corporate demo but the only homepage I get is “travel blog”, and a few other pages.

I just wanted the home pages, can you a copy/paste in a text file the code in the backend editor? I’ll copy it and switch to visual composer and get what i need :)

Can you send me the code for these homepages : - Corporate - Food stylist

...and the pages : - portfolio overlap - about me

Best regards,

Yann

Hello,

Could you please send me your email? So I will send the code directly to your email. You can PM me your email here: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

The “read more” option isn’t working for me. It just displays [...] as un-linked text or nothing at all, whether I choose to display “[...]” or “link to full blog post”.

I just tried it and it’s working for me. If you’re working on the blog page (the posts page), please make sure you have set the blog settings in Theme Options -> Blog.

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