Hi, I am trying to update this theme but the Envato Toolkit plugin is not working. Is there another safe way to update theme?
You can follow the regular procedure if you haven’t done any modification in themefiles..ie. just delete the theme through wp-dashboard and upload latest theme zip file. If any modification is done in theme files then the way I update is to replace all files. No matter what method you use (there are plugins too like this – http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ to update easily), you will need to backup your changes and redo any changes you made to the files on the new installation.
Use tools like DiffMerge or WinMerge to compare the old and new files and redo the changes. You will spend probably an hour doing this but not more, specially if you have made changes only to a few select files. The dashboard settings ll be retained and hence Custom CSS entered into theme options should be fine. It’s always a good idea to have a backup though. Hope this helps.
Hi,
Could you please tell me how to make the “Events” page fullwidth?
I currently have a 9col display with a sidebar… Am I missing something?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Can you pls post a link to this page pls. The events page on our sites always show up with full width and hence I am curious if there is anything different with yours. You can post the link in a private thread in the forum if you like – https://support.livemeshthemes.com/forums/forum/invent-theme-support/. Thanks
Thank you for your reply. It’s on a local server for now so I can’t send you a link. I’ll try something with page templates to fix it but I tought there might be a simple configuration for that.
Hi I have a presale question: Do you know if the theme will work with the UserPro plugin?
Thanks for your interest. We have not tested the theme with this plugin. We follow WP standards and we expect it to be compatible though.
Hi there
Considering this theme for a private tuition college. Is there an option for chats/interaction between students and teacher on the back end both as a class group or one-on-one between teacher and student?
Thanks
Thanks for your interest. At present, we do not have such an option. Pls have a look at BuddyPress plugin and see if that meets your need – https://buddypress.org/.
where to download sample data?
provided link not working
The requested URL /wp-content/uploads/2015/12/invent-sample-data.xml.gzPls was not found on this server.
Pls send us an email via profile page contact form https://themeforest.net/user/livemesh#contact and we will send you the same. I guess you already posted to the forum of ours and we have attached the same with a reply there. Thanks for your purchase.

Thanks for your purchase. Can you pls open a thread in our support forum – https://support.livemeshthemes.com/forums/forum/invent-theme-support/ with the query and our support person will get in touch with you on the same. You may also search for solutions in the forum – I am sure others would have had similar query before like yours.
Hi there, I would really like to try this Wordpress theme for a music school where I work. Is there I way a can trail this theme for a free trail to show the school’s board what it would look like? Or would I have to purchase the theme? Many thanks. Matt.
Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, we don’t have free trial to offer. I would suggest you show the demo site to your school board and if you need, I can email you the documentation which has detailed screenshots of the backend and how it really works. Pls send me an email via my profile page contact form – https://themeforest.net/user/livemesh#contact if you need the same.
Thanks for your reply. I have sent you an email.
Hi what email address can I send to with some pre-sales questions?

Hello A pre-sale question
Does the theme fully compatible with The Event Calendar PRO and all it’s addons? Especially The event community.
If so, can you show a screenshot or demo please
Thanks
Thanks for your interest. Yes, this theme is compatible with Events Calendar Pro as tested by us. We have not tested it with all of its addons but I would be surprised if it is not found to be compatible since we follow regular WP standards.
Pls check the demo page below -
https://www.livemeshthemes.com/invent/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=pastHi, presale questions:
Quizzes … I assume that if the user fails the quiz will try again … do the answers always come in different order? First time example: 1 + 1 = A: 3 B: 0 C: 2 D: 4
The second time you run the quiz: 1 + 1 = A: 4 B: 2 C: 0 D: 3
Does this?
Thanks for your interest. The quiz functionality is part of LMS functions provided by the paid plugin – LearnDash. You need to purchase it separately from learndash.com.
Regarding your query, can you pls check with LearnDash support on this? They will be able to provide a definite answer on the same.
Already done last week. No reply…
Try once again and see if they reply – https://www.learndash.com/contact/. They do have randomize option for questions which I guess may partially meet your needs – https://www.learndash.com/quiz-options/.
You can also try tweeting them here – https://twitter.com/LearnDashLMS or https://twitter.com/JustinFerriman. Hope they respond!
i believe this version of your theme did not have the child theme implemented, will have to update and them redo all….dont know if worth the risk.
Pls update at least the js/main.js file (from the new version) for now and do a hard refresh in the browser and see if that resolves the issue. It should resolve unless there is some incompatibility.
I would still recommend you spend may be a day of your time moving changes to a child theme. Shouldn’t take much time IMO. Pls make sure you do it on staging or development server first to minimize risk. Thanks
Great, it fixed it !!!! great support. thanks you.
I have other question, the search page https://tinyurl.com/l4ehdvr , i need to translate the english to portuguese, alredy try different modules (loco translate, etc) but it seems not to take the translations, which is the file of the search page in your theme so i can edit it manually?
If you referring to the string “You are browsing the search results for”, it is translatable and I checked the same in POEdit as well. Can you pls check the file loop-meta.php file and see if the string exists there and is translatable? It should look like below -
<?php printf(__('You are browsing the search results for "%1$s"', 'mo_theme'), esc_attr(get_search_query())); ?>
I found it and edited, how ever there are more text to be translated like: Search Results for, read more, Comments Disabled and No posts were found with the criteria specified. Try searching for posts. – Can you please advise where i can edit it (even if going to original file and edit manually).
thanks very much.
Those strings are in loop-error.php, framework/functions/commenting.php and framework/functions/blog-content.php and they are all translatable as verified by me. I would say, it is best to upgrade the theme – these strings have been translatable for a long time now since we did not make any changes to the theme recently for translation.
- We can’t update
Pls use the Envato Toolkit plugin to update the theme.
but if i do, will it kill our site customizations?
If you have made changes in your child theme, no customizations will be lost. If you have made changes to the core theme files of parent theme, you will need to redo them after update.
Pls have a back in any case – if things go wrong, you can revert to the older version.
All the settings and theme options will remain after update.
Hi, i bought your theme on 2015-10-29 but until now we were able create our site, we only have an issue with the portfolio page at http://143.95.237.62/~floresta/portfolio_category/projetos-atuais/ or http://143.95.237.62/~floresta/portfolio_category/projetos-concluidos/, only the first time you visit the page, it loads incomplete (https://www.dropbox.com/s/44stcojltoyci2m/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202017-05-07%20a%20la%28s%29%2021.05.26.png?dl=0 ), then if you refresh it loads fine (if you visit the page 2 days later, same issue happens), i allready tried all (different cache modules, different configuration of the theme, different servers) but always happen same thing, how can we avoid it to happen please? – We can update the theme as we been working on changes for months alredy, we are afraid to loose our work by updating.
I am not entirely clear on your query. For me, http://143.95.237.62/~floresta/portfolio_category/projetos-atuais/ loaded fine on first attempt and the other one is returning 404 error.
all have same issue on our side on any browser , they load like the image the first time https://www.dropbox.com/s/qwnn695qcorl7k4/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202017-05-10%20a%20la%28s%29%2018.12.00.png?dl=0
can you check if happen to you again please?
Can I know the browser which you are using for testing pls since the grid is displaying great with no issues like the one seen in the dropbox image above. I tested this in chrome.
Having said that, I see that you are using a very old version of the theme which is not compatible with 4.5+ version of WordPress. This throws up an error in the console and hence things can go wrong on some browsers. Pls update the theme, do a hard refresh and things will be fine for sure.
Where do I find out what version of PHP this theme is compatible with? I tried 7.0 and it crashed my wp-admin. This is kind of weird since LearnDash and BuddyBoss require PHP7.0 and WordPress.org recommends a minimum of 7.0.
Pls give me few hours and I will do a retest of the theme with PHP 7 and get back to you with an update. Thanks.
Awesome!
Me again (yes, I know). I can’t seem to get the revolution slider plugin to upload. I add new plugin (I am using the file revslider.zip (dated 3/8/17 as it didn’t load automatically earlier as in the video) and every time I try to install I get a plugin install failed message.
Can you pls try to deactivate all other plugins and try upload revslider file and check ?If the problem is still on then you can open a topic in our support forum and share a temp login to your site, we ll help you out.
I ended up uploading thru filezilla and it finally worked.
Did you find any issues with Invent theme with PHP 7.0 or 7.1?
I checked the theme with both 7.0 and 7.1 and just saw a few deprecated warnings related to theme defined widgets and there was no crash as such. I will certainly get the theme updated to handle the warnings which show up only if you enable DEBUG mode.
Meanwhile, can you pls disable all plugins and see if the wp-admin still crashes for 7.x version? If it does, I would need you to provide me the error log file since I am unable to reproduce the issue here. You can email me the same via my profile page contact form – https://themeforest.net/user/livemesh#contact.
Have done the required changes to the theme – ready to issue a compatibility update. Will wait for an update from you regarding the crash you experienced. Thanks.
An update has been submitted that fixes all warnings with PHP 7.x versions. Thanks for reporting this.
Where is this 75 pages of extensive documentation for the theme supposed to be found? Wish there was just a link to it here.
You can just unzip the theme download zip from ThemeForest Downloads and documentation is part of the bundle. Look for the folder named ‘Invent Documentation’.
I saw in earlier comments that one might have to do some CSS if using buddypress and adding forums to the site under this theme. Have more recent versions of the theme been updated so that I can more easily add a forums or sociallearning component to my site without going to such trouble? If not, could I use multi-theme plugin and add the boss child theme SocialLearner to do that or do you have a separate child theme for this function?
By earlier comments I mean from 2 years ago. 
Thanks for your interest. We had hardly any requests from our customers to do this and hence we did not prioritize the same. You may need to still do some styling for buddypress if you use Invent.
I went ahead and purchased the theme and the first thing that I noticed was that there are no installation instructions, or if there are I have yet to find them and it wasn’t obvious to me and they definitely didn’t come in the email confirmation I received. Also, I downloaded the first zip file and the installation failed (no css files) so I then downloaded the smaller file and the installation was successful. The thing I liked is that I was prompted to install plug-ins, but again, no good instructions, so not the best for someone with mid-level beginner/intermediate experience. I feel I can figure most things out myself, but I can say that good documentation makes it so much faster. I will go hunt for some guides, but having them given to me would have been awesome.
Me again. Apparently there is a “README – Importing sample data and replicating demo site” file that I can’t copy when I extract the complete zip file as well. The Error is 0×80010135:Path too long. Could you please just email me the file or point me to good instructions for set-up? Thanks!
Pls open a new topic in our support forum – http://support.portfoliotheme.org/forums/forum/invent-theme-support/ with a temp login to your site as a private msg, we ll help you in setting up of demo site.
The link to sample data is available in the readme txt file ,you need to download the demo data from that given link. And you can check the theme setup video here- http://support.portfoliotheme.org/faqs/invent-theme-how-to-replicate-the-demo-site-in-10-min/ .
The video really doesn’t have words and so you gotta squint to see what they are doing and keep pausing, rewinding – hard on old eyes. As I said earlier, for whatever reason the read me file won’t open for me on my PC. I have Windows 10, but it says the file name is too long. I suppose I will try it on my Mac, but had hoped you could just send it to me.
Can you pls open a topic in our support forum here – http://support.portfoliotheme.org/forums/forum/invent-theme-support/ with a temp login to your site as a private msg , ll help setup demo site or you can send us an email via our profile page – http://themeforest.net/user/livemesh#contact and ll send the demo data.
I figured it out. For whatever reason I couldn’t unzip all the files on my Windows 10 machine, but had no problem on a Mac. Not sure if that is unique to me or if you have heard a few complaints of that.
No one has reported this issue so far even i have tested in my machine (windows 10) and found no issue.
Weird, I wonder why I couldn’t fully unzip. I just right click the file in file explorer and choose extract all. Then I get the message that file name was too long for the ReadMe file and that not all files could be extracted. All I get when I extract in Windows 10 with this method is: .DS_Store invent (compressed folder) invent-child (compressed folder) invent-widgets.wie invent-widgets-with-learndash.wie
When I download to my MacBook Pro I had no problems.
Suppose I should have just tried unzipping it in some different way on my PC, but got it to work on my Mac, so didn’t bother.
Do you experience the same issue with the latest update released today?
Hi there, can courses like this: http://portfoliotheme.org/themes/?theme=Invent be used for offline courses? I am looking to sell courses from other providers so I need a way if people would sign up they are or redirected or can enter their information.
Looking forward to receive a reply
Sorry about the delayed response. You can customize the theme to your needs. If you are planning to sell courses online, you should probably talk to LearnDash folks on what you want to accomplish. LearnDash is a paid LMS plugin that helps sell courses.
The courses captured by theme helps capture courses conducted offline. Regarding payment or signup for the same, you will need customization since the theme does not support this out of the box.
Thanks for your interest.
Tried to access your support form but I kept getting errors trying to access it. But my question is, is it possible to add a full width area above the footer on certain pages only that would allow for text and a button?
What is the exact error you are seeing while accessing the forum – http://support.portfoliotheme.org/forums/forum/invent-theme-support/? We would love to know so that we can fix the same.
If you need the full width area to be on a certain page, you can choose the full width page template and then add the content below all other content to show up just above the footer. If you need something that shows up on all pages and posts, you need to modify the footer.php file in your child theme. Do let us know if you need further help on this.
Hello, I would like to change the loading image to use maybe fontawsome spinning cog icon. I did a search and saw where you posted it with an image change, but can fontawsome be used instead? This is the code I had found in search-
page-loading {
z-index: 10010; background: #FFF url(http://portfoliotheme.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Preloader_11.gif) no-repeat 50% 50%; }
Why not just create an image of suitable size out of fontawesome icons? You can use the tool here – https://icomoon.io/app/#/select to do the same. Better to generate SVGs and use the same.
Could you send out documentation before I purchase
Sure we can. Can you pls email us via our profile page contact form – https://themeforest.net/user/livemesh#contact and we will email you back the documentation for the theme. Thanks for your interest.
