Hi,

Great theme, just purchased. I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to allows other pages to have the same layout as the homepage? For example, I want to create a page showcasing specific posts from a category.

2. I noticed when creating a widgetized page and using the recent post (grid) widget, that you can only have a layout of two post images next to each other in every row. Is there any way to only have one post image displayed but stretched to fill the page, and then another post image in the following row?

Hi there,

Glad that you like the theme. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. You can always set the page as widgetized and place in the “Section:” widgets. Both Recent Posts and Recent Posts (Grid) widget allow you to pick categories as well.

2. Currently there is no way to pick different layouts, but we’ll surely consider doing something about it in future versions.

If you have any further questions, feel free to drop by our support site. Thanks.

does this support Stripe for its subscription payment?

Hello,

Membership is handled via the Restrict Content Pro plugin, not the theme. And yes, it does support Stripe along with other few that you can check here – https://restrictcontentpro.com/tour/payment-gateways/

Hope it helps. Thanks.

Hi, my articles now have random subheaders. These come with slightly smaller font than the actual topic and comes directly under the topic of an article. How can delete these?

No worries, found a way

Thanks, these were the subtitles. Powered by the Subtitles plugin. If you need any further help let us know, happy to help.

Thanks! John

Pre purchase question : it is possible to add 2 or 3 different languages on the mosaics of the stories for each story ? Instead of the button “Read story”, another “button” to choose a language. If yes, how can you do that ? Thanks !

Hi there.

This would require some manual customization as it is not supported out of the box.

Many thanks John

Love this theme! Two questions before I buy!

1) On the demo, where it says “Spiritual Bites” how easy it would it be to put a photo gallery in that section (using a plugin) instead of having a post there? That way people can view my photos on the very first page… it’s said things are built by widgets but not sure how much you can edit what a widget displays!

2) On the alternative demo, http://demo.codestag.com/ink-alt/ – can the menu bar at the top “float” when scrolling down? (ideally fading a bit!)

Thanks!!

Hi there, thanks for writing in. You can do that in many ways, yes. The theme makes use of the header image feature, and allows you to add a header image with a bg video and any html content. You would put your gallery shortcode there and that section would be added at the top of your homepage post grid.

You could also create a widgetized page, that is a page composed of widget sections. You could add anything inside a section widget really, I will be happy to guide you through this at our support desk.

Sticky menu is not built-in for now, but you could rely on a plugin functionality to achieve this I suppose.

Thanks!

John

I think this MALWARE plugin affects your theme, and if so, what are you doing about it so customer can remove it??? Emails were sent out by a large hosting company asking me to remove it from install…

https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/09/display-widgets-malware/

Please confirm

Hi there.

This plugin indeed contains malware, so of course you need to remove it from your theme by deleting it.

I am not sure what your question is about since we do not have control over what plugins our theme users have installed in their themes.

Thanks! John

The full with in post image is not working. It’s stays with page width which isn’t full screen width. alignment set to none but not working.

Hello! The theme looks gorgeous. I see its not compatible with Visual Composer. But, is it compatible with other plugins? For example, if I wanted to have opt in forms, ads, etc?

Hi there, thanks!

We have not tested Visual Composer for compatibility, but Ink is a very lightweight theme coded with best WP practices, so it should play nice with most plugins :)

Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help!

I really like your theme, but I have two pre-sales questions: 1) Would it be possible to integrate a Flickr gallery / feed into a page or widget area (e.g. by using a Flickr plugin and inserting its shortcode there)? 2) Is it possible to increase the margins between posts on a blog page with a grid view?

Hi John, good to hear, many thanks!

By the way, does your answer also apply to the Mono theme?

Yes it does :)

Hi! Is it possible to have a widgetized fullscreen image with soms scroll alle text underneath as a homepage? Thnks for your reply!

Sorry: ...scrollable text underneath…

Hi there.

This functionality in not possible without some serious customization of the theme files. The closest you can do is to make use of the Header media feature located in the customizer, or even better, a static content section widget, on a widgetized page.

There you will be able to have any content over a background image, and this section will have a height according to the amount of content you add.

If you need more help with this, please open a support ticket at https://codestag.com/support and we will be happy to help.

Thanks!

John

Hi there, can the load more appear after 4 post thumbnails at homepage instead of 8?

Yes, definitely. You need to do is login to your WordPress dashboard and go to Settings » Reading. Next change the “Blog pages show at most” number from 8 to 4.

If you need further help with this, please open a ticket at https://codestag.com/support and one of us will be happy to help.

Thanks!

John

We are interested in setting up a site with premium content. It was great to find a nice theme like this integrated with a premium content plugin.

What we are looking for is a way to show some teaser text for premium content and to view/read the full content you need to subscribe. Looking at your demo, it seems this is not possible?. When you click on a premium content article, you are immediately presented with a message asking the user to subscribe. Is this the only behaviour available? or you can we show some teaser text and user must subscribe/login to view the full content?

cheers,

We also like our readers to up/down vote on an article. Is there any compatible plugins?

Hi there, thanks for writing in. It is possible to have a teaser on each article, definitely. Actually this is part of the functionality of Restrict Content Pro, but you can easily make even part of your content premium, if you wrap it in shortcodes. The plugin is quite flexible with this, but I definitely encourage you to take a look to the full feature list:

https://restrictcontentpro.com/tour/

Voting for for an article needs to be achieved with a plugin. Plenty of such out there, I will be happy to help if you need at our support desk.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Many thanks! John

Pre-purchase question. Can I use more than one video on the home page like in your demopage?

Hey there, Sorry for the late reply. Not sure what video you refer to from the demo, could you share a link?

Thanks!

John

your theme look GREAT! does it support infinite scrolling?

Hi there, thanks for writing in. Ink does not support infinite scroll for now, and we have not tested with any plugin, so feel free to give it a try. Also worth noting is that Jetpack plugin has an infinite scroll module, perhaps you would be interested in trying this one first.

Thanks! John

thanks!

Hi there, may i know if there is demo .xml file in your files download? It seems I cannot find any .xml file in it, kindly advice. Thanks.

Hi there.

This file is at our online docs, kindly refer here to download the xml.

Hello, fantastic theme! Just a curiosity… today we upgraded our Ink theme to the latest 2.2 version. In the changelog you state that you added three new blog layouts but in the theme customizer we don’t see anything new. Where could we see them? Thank you!

Hi there! The new layout options should be under the customizer definitely. Can you hard refresh or clear browser cache and check again?

Otherwise feel free to open a ticket at https://codestag.com/support and we will be happy to help!

Thanks

John

You’re right! We cleared the website cache and now we see them. Thanks, John!

My pleasure! Glad it worked :)

hey there I’m wondering if it is possible to enter a smaller picture like lets say a logo into a text area without the theme expanding the pic automatically to full width.

thanks for your help!

Hello,

Yes. The images will only stretch if it’s alignment is set to none. Align it to left, center, or right to prevent it from stretching.

If you have any further questions, feel free to visit our support. Thanks.

Hi, I love this template but I would like create an image gallery like the grid in the post pages your other template Blink. Witch plugin I need to use ? and can I do it ? Thanks a lot. Alex

Hey Alex. These galleries are powered by Jetpack plugin. It is free, and the module is called tilled galleries.

You can definitely set in up on any page. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help.Thanks!

Hi. Awesome theme and design! I was wondering, before I buy and soend the next 20 years with the theme. Does it support Learndash? So can i start a Learning Management System with this theme and offer courses to students? Of course paud courses, one-off payments. And need to have their own profiles, therefor learndash seems great. Hopefully with Ink. Thanks!

Thanks for checking out Ink. I’m afraid I cannot commit to 100% compatibility with any third party plugin, however Ink has been developed with WordPress best coding practices and it’s code is un-obtrusive.

Ink is powerfully flexible and well designed as you see. I’d love to see how it turns out if you decide to give it a try with LearnDash. I had not heard of it till now, and looks very promising. Let me know how this goes, or if you have another question, happy to help!

John
