Hello,

I have a problem with the representation “TEAM MEMBER”. I have created a few team members. Unfortunately they are not displayed as the team members you created. I am nowhere but a place to adjust?

I can also send a screenshot. Thanks.

Regards Stefan

Sorry for the delayed response!

Could you please provide me that page URL or screenshot, you can send it in the contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Dear Developers, I bought your overlap theme and while installing, as well as in the theme options > setup section, I am confronted with his neat little peace of error:

Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /www/htdocs/w0135e2b/studiofeuerfest.de/wp-content/plugins/wyde-core/inc/redux-framework/framework.php on line 3197

Running latest wordpress.

I am aware that this is related to PHP 7 – but I don’t think the answer is, sorry, not supported. How about a hotfix? You should not sell a product, that is not compatible to the core language it is using. This is not a minor discrepancy.

WIth regards

This theme is compatible with the latest update of WordPress and PHP 7.0 but we’ve never tried it with PHP 7.1.

That error came from the Redux Framework plugin that we use the build the Theme Options panel. Seems like it doesn’t compatible with the latest update of PHP.

As you know the PHP 7.1 is just released this year and there are many things were changed, some plugins would not be compatible with this version, we would recommend you to downgrade to PHP 7.0 to make sure it will work properly with the theme and other plugins.

Thank you for reporting this issue. It will be fixed in the next update of the theme.

Thanks for your reply, I do get this error on every PHP version higher than 5.x.

I do have to state for potential buyers, that this error is only of cosmetic nature, the theme itself works and is very beautifully done.

I’m sorry, our demo sites are currently running on PHP 7.0.9 but we have never seen this error before. I have no idea why it happens on yours.

However, it’s just a PHP warning, not an error so it won’t affect your site.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue, we will fix it ASAP!

Hi Wyde

Thanks for the lovely theme.

I’ve searched around here, but couldn’t find a solution. I’m hoping you can please help.

Client sadly wants logo to appear very large. I’ve tried the following:

1.Increasing header container height and logo at 100%, but at the size that they want logo to display, the header container then overlaps into the title area of page. This would also not to be a good solution since the logo needs to display differently on other pages.

2. Creating logo as image banner for small title style and loading as background image for title area. This works better, as I can display on pages as needed, but it doesn’t work well for blog posts on mobile as the responsiveness then moves the post title over the logo (background) as it obviously should, because it doesn’t read it as text. Is there a way to not display the background image of the title area, but keep the custom title area (with title text) for mobile and tablet?

3. Creating a custom post template with Visual Composer. This works the best, but requires a lot over overlapping. Is there a way to not be left with a large amount of space at the bottom of the page when doing this? I need to move the Footer up somehow, as one has to scroll way down to see the footer now. Can you maybe help/suggest something?

Thanks so much.

Hi Wyde

4. A different question How can I change the slider contact menu to display the logo, contact details and social media icons to the left instead of centered, on desktop view?

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

1. The maximum height of the logo is 85px (the same as the header menu height), and this is a global setting, you have only one logo on one WordPress site. It couldn’t display different one on other pages.

2. Here’s the custom CSS to hide the title background image on mobile and tablet. You can add it to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:


<style type="text/css">

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

        .single .title-wrapper .title-background {
            display: none;
        }

    }

</style>

3. Unfortunately you couldn’t remove that white space when you enable the Overlap to move the row to the top. I would not recommend you to use the Overlap option because you will have the large space at the bottom of the page.

If you’d like to add custom logo to the page, I would recommend you to edit the header template (header.php) in your child theme so you can insert the logo image and display it at the top of every page.

You will need to install the overlap-child-theme.zip, copy the file header.php from “wp-content/themes/overlap/header.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/header.php” and then edit it to fit your needs.

4. You can add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to change the content in the slidingbar to the left. For the logo and text at the top, they’re in the Text widget, you have to edit the code to remove ‘text-align:center’ from custom HTML.

<style type="text/css">

#slidingbar {
text-align: left;
}

</style>

Hi, great work, I really love this theme!

There is an issue with my iPad A1458: The masonry on the CreativeAgency page is displaying the images streched like hell. You can see it in your demo also when you use an IPad. I found a solution in the shortcode.css and altered this

.w-view figure img{position:relative;display:block;height:100%;width:100%;}

to

.w-view figure img{position:relative;display:block;height:auto!important;width:100%;}

Q: can these changes affect other functionalities?

best from Germany, David

... do you have an Browserstack account? Maybe?

Hi,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to report this issue. I think that this is a browser compatibility issue. Your device is running on the old version of iOS and Safari that do not support modern web standards.

Actually the srcset originally came from WordPress, not the theme. It’s added in WordPress 4.4 and later. We use a standard WordPress function called wp_get_attachment_image() to display the featured images from your WordPress site, it automatically returns the HTML image with the srcset attribute as you can see here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_attachment_image/

Unfortunately, that attribute supports Safari 9.1 or greater. I think this makes the image didn’t work properly on your iPad.

However, we don’t have a Browserstack account, we’re sorry. But we will look into the solution you provided, if this doesn’t affect other portfolio layouts and other browsers we will update it in the next update of the theme.

Thanks again!

Hi,

thank you so much for investing time in this issue. I appreciate your efforts very much! Hopefully we can find a solution : )

Best, David

Hello Wyde,

Is it possible to make a single link color different? I’m using that link in a row that has the “custom color scheme” color as background, so you can’t see the link. On all other places the link colors should stay the “custom color scheme” color.

All the best :) Pepijn

Yes you can. You have to add extra CSS class to that row.

Here a step by step guide:

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


<style type="text/css">

.alt-color a {
    color: #fff;
}

</style>

2. Edit the settings of that row and then put ‘alt-color’ to the Extra CSS Class field.

Thank you! Exactly what I wanted!

All the best :) Pepijn

Hello, I just installed your theme on a second website (I loved it so much on the first website, I recommended it to another client!), but I’m not able to activate the Contact Form 7 plugin. It says that the installed version cannot be activated because the minimum required version is not available. Could you help me please?

I’m happy to hear that you love our theme!

Anyway, try to deactivate and delete the Contact Form 7 plugin from your Plugins page first, and then you re-install it to see if it works.

If this doesn’t work, please provide me your site URL and admin login credentials in the contact form here: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hello Wyde,

Is there a way to change the mobile navigation icon color ( the three lines in the left corner)? It is now the custom color scheme color, but the header is also that color, causing it to disappear. I would like it to be #ffffff

All the best :) Pepijn

Hello Pepijn,

Try to add the code below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:

<style type="text/css">

    #header .mobile-nav-icon > .menu-icon, 
    #header .mobile-nav-icon > .menu-icon:before, 
    #header .mobile-nav-icon > .menu-icon:after {
        background-color: #fff;
    }

</style>

Yes this is exactly what I wanted!! Thank you so much! Great help as always!

All the best :) Pepijn

Hello Wyde,

on a new website i am working with tabbed content. I would like to link from another page to a specific tab, and from one tab to another. Could you tell me how to do that?

All the best :) Pepijn

I’m sorry but it couldn’t in the current version. You have to click on the tab to open the tab content. Thank you for reporting this issue, we will add it in the next update.

Thank you for the info! Looking forward to the update :)

All the best :) Pepijn

Hello,

I bought the theme today. I installed it under XAMPP. Theme and demo was installed without problems. Now I have the following error messages with Theme-Options;

“Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress3\wp-content\plugins\wyde-core\inc\redux-framework\framework.php on line 3197”

What does this error message mean?

And the slider does not run smoothly – he rumbles!

Thank you.

I suppose that this is a PHP compatibility issue. After googling I found many people who are using PHP 7.1 also having the same problem. I guess that your site is also running on that version.

Sounds like the Redux Framework plugin that’s included in the Wyde Core plugin is not compatible with PHP 7.1.

As you know PHP 7.1 is the latest version and some plugins might not be compatible with it. So, we would recommend you to downgrade your PHP to 7.0 instead because that plugin is required.

Hi ! I would like to know how to change, in the sorter of the portfolio, the “all” and put the word in French?

That word is included in the POT file, you have to translate the theme to change it. You can find more details on how to translate the theme in our documentation.

Also, you can install a translation plugin such as Loco Translate ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ ) to edit that word on your WordPress admin page directly.

Hello Wyde,

Is it possible to align images in the image gallery on the bottom instead of the top?

All the best, Pepijn Pluim

Thank you for the site URL!

Unfortunately, it couldn’t align those images to the bottom. You should choose the Medium size for the image gallery instead of Original, it will display the squared thumbnails so all images will have the same height.

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately the bikes are cut off on the square images, so i’ve decided to make a set of images for the image gallery that are all the same size.

Thanx for your help!

All the best :) Pepijn

Of course, if you choose to display the thumbnails, those images will be cropped to that size so some parts would be cut off. If you’d like to show original size you have to set them to the same size before uploading.

Hi there, I am wondering if I can disable lightbox feature in portfolio. When opening on iPad screen, the dimensions are not correct anymore so the images seem stretched. Therefore I want to disable lightbox feature.

Hi there,

Unfortunately the lightbox feature is included in the portfolio core features and you couldn’t disable it.

However, if you have any issue with image dimensions in the lightbox, try to add the code below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to see if it works:


<style type="text/css">

@media only screen and (max-width: 1199px) {

#pp_full_res {
    padding: 0;
}

}

</style>

Hope this helps!

Thank you! This worked!

Hi, i seem to have found some bugs :

Indeed! Thank you for reporting these issues, we will fix them in the next update.

Cheers.

Hey guys.

thanks for the template. I love it. Its still working, but I have a little problem with the sidebar for the blog in the mobile view. is there a possibility that the sidebar appears in front of the posts on the top of the page and not on the end?

Thats not the best way to have it all at the end of the page, especially when I use infinite scrolling.

Thanks for your solution! cheers Marcel

As you can see in any other themes including the default WordPress theme called Twenty Seventeen, by default the sidebar should appear at the bottom of the page (after the blog posts and main content) for the SEO purposes because the main content is the primary section and the sidebar is the secondary.

To display the sidebar at the top of the page (before the blog posts), you have to choose the Left Sidebar for your blog page. If you choose the Right Sidebar, it will appear after the blog posts, this is what the browser works.

Hi there,

I’ve running a heavily modified version of Overlap for a client’s specific needs, and just wondered if there was a way of changing the long submenu titles from being reduced to ”...” at the end – instead of having the full text link wrap over onto another line?

thanks very much!

Hi there,

I guess that you’re working with the Mega Menu because the normal submenu will automatically stretch to fit the menu text even you have the long titles.

There are 2 ways to work around this issue.

1. Enable “Full Width” in Theme Options -> Navigation -> Top Navigation so you will have the wider submenu area to show the menu titles.

2. Add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to allow the titles to wrap to the next line:


<style type="text/css">

    .dropdown-nav ul ul li > a {
        white-space: normal;
    }

</style>

Gidday!

I love this theme – its brilliant and easy to use and the demo content allows for a great way to support a base build :)

I have had to pay for additional VC add ons to get post grid functionality and graphs etc.

I was wondering if there was a way to override the core plugin VC functions that disable the native VC post grid; graphs etc.

I know I can do it myself and play around with the plugin file however i would prefer to have this code in the child theme?

Thougths and thanks!

Nick

Hi!

Thank you for your nice comments :)

Some native content elements and features from VC have been disabled by default when working with this theme since we have custom elements that were designed especially for the theme.

As you know VC comes with a lot of elements and features that include a ton of JS and CSS codes, this can take several seconds to load and can slow down your website. So, we have disabled some elements and exclude all default resource files from VC, and provide essential content elements from the theme instead.

Also for the VC post grid, it was disabled by default because we have Blog Posts element to show the blog posts and Portfolio Grid to show the portfolio posts.

Unfortunately, in the current version of the theme, it doesn’t allow you to override those functions in the child theme. We would recommend you to use custom elements we provided instead.

However, if you’d like we will provide new option in the next update so you can enable those native VC elements via the child theme.

Hello Wyde,

I think you might have a bug on the map element. I dragged the marker and set the location to my city, but when I display the map it shows the good area but the marker is not there. I tried everything and nothing the marker did not appear, afterwards I zoomed out, and found out, that the marker keeps staying at the default location for some reason.

Could you please help me how to solve this problem?

Thank you

Try to update the theme to see if it works.

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

I don’t see Subtitle Font Color anywhere in the theme panel – only Title Color. https://entertainingcompany.com/shop/

I’m sorry but the color of the Subtitle will be changed automatically to the same as the color scheme of your site, this is a theme design as you can see on our demo site: http://wydethemes.com/overlap/about-me-2/

If you’d like to change it to others, you have to add custom CSS below to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:

<style type="text/css">

    .title-wrapper .subtitle {
        color: #fff;
    }

    .title-wrapper:not(.w-size-s) .title:after {
        border-color: #fff;
    }

</style>

Great! Is there a way or option to put it below the Title?

Each size of the title area has different title styles. To have a subtitle below the title text, you have to choose the “Small” size for the title in Overlap Options -> Title Area. Other sizes always display the subtitle above the title.

Hi there! How can I activate the Slider Revolution plug-in please? Is it included in theme I purchased?

Simply activate that plugin in Plugins page like other plugins. However, you can normally use it without activating a product purchase code.

Hello,

I have to buy this theme. But have a question; Is there the possibility to link the blog articles so that they are also included in a Facebook profile directly as a post? Thank you.
