How can I get rid of both sidebars?
Why are you guys including bootstrap.css and bootstrap-grid.css and bootstrap-reboot.css. Aren’t these already included in bootstrap.css?
Hi,
Bootstrap styles are generated by Gulp into these 3 files automatically. But you can migrate them into one file if needed. For us it is more convenient to keep current structure.

Here I pass a video recorded by me. showing some problems.
https://www.facebook.com/maxhenrry/posts/10156146917461416?notif_id=1506566014964370¬if_t=video_processedHi,
Thank you for the video! We added the issues to our bugtracker. As for popup comments, we understand that they can be added everywhere, but we just represented two variations of comments position, where you can add any media type you need.

Ok. Great layout, but have some problems in my point of view, as a developer. I’ll tell you guys, so, maybe you could fix it in the next version.
1) Gulp is great, but only if it makes sense. I don’t think that is the case here. Since the most HTML files already use the ‘compiled’ versions of the assets. OK, I notice that the gulp will help me to customize the template, but I in most case scenarios this template will be used inside with a backend framework or something like that. So It becomes useless at the end of the day.
2) Use a package management system. Yes! Why not? You know, the most part of the dependencies can be managed by something like npm, bower or even better, yarn. Please, use it. It’ll be great.
3) Never customize a dependency. OK, let me explain it. I’m not saying that you could not customize the bootstrap. I’m saying: do not change it in its own code. If you need to customize the bootstrap, to insert some custom variable file, you could do it creating a bootstrap.scss file inside your project, importing all files (like in the original bootstrap.scss) and them including the custom.scss file. So you can keep your dependency updated.
4) The asset folder. Keep all your theme assets directories inside an asset folder. Why? I’ll explain to you in the next topic, and It’ll make sense.
5) Partials! What? Yes, I’m saying partials. You don’t need to repeat your code every HTML file. It’s insane. You could use something like ‘gulp-twig’ and uses the twig template system. It’ll certainly make our lives easier, ‘cause since sometimes I just need a part of templates code, I don’t need to search for it inside a full HTML file, I’ll just look in its own file. And as I said in the last item, since the assets are already organized inside a folder named assets, you can now organize your HTML inside other folders like ‘partials’, ‘components’, ‘widgets’, etc.
6) Plugin hell. Now, that we have all our items organized we can organize our plugins. I think that’s great that you guys selected some great plugins to us. But sometimes, it becomes a curse. The reason and the solution as simple. Actually, we have large files, initializing lots of thinks, that’s insane. Why not split it into files? Every file with your own responsibility to initialize something. It’ll be great, and since now we have all your components organized in its own files we can put on theme documentation what specific part of the code is used for what component.
I think that, for now, it’s the most important items. Please, don’t take it as an offense or something like that. I loved this theme, and I wish that It could be even better.
If you guess, wish to contact me to talk about some other ideas, please, feel free to do so.

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestions! They are truly reasonable and we agree with all of them, except point #3. We didn’t modify Bootstrap itself. All changes are done only in custom.scss file as recommended in Bootstrap documentation. So feel free to update Bootstrap files. It will work fine after recompilation.
Many users who purchased this template aren’t acquainted with SASS technology, that’s why we had to come to a compromise while developing this template to make it understandable both for advanced developers and average users. We recorded your suggestions on our bugtracker and will look for ways to implement them by keeping compatibility with existing version of Olympus.
Best regards, Crumina
It’ll be great. Certainly will be a great advance to the template.
Anyway, I must insist that the idea behind the item 3 of my list will be a benefit for the implementation of item 2. Let’s me explain, today we have a folder, inside the project that contains all the Bootstrap framework, source code and ‘compiled’ files.
Even that it is now following the Bootstrap’s documentation, if you implement the npm to manage all the dependency the bootstrap will be inside the node_modules folder, so you’ll not be able to add the _custom.scss inside the bootstrap.scss, bootstrap-grid.scss and bootstrap-reboot.scss.
My purpose is to bring this files to the template domain, so you can add your _custom.scss file to this files, and not to the node_modules files. It has three directly benefits:
1) The final template package will be smaller since all dependencies will be downloaded by a dependency manager.
2) You’ll be receiving the updates from Bootstrap, without having to add the _custom.scss every time you update the Bootstrap.
3) You’ll be able to customize the Bootstrap, removing the component’s that you don’t use, or at least you’ll be allowing the user to do it if they want.
See the example here: https://codepen.io/rluders/project/editor/ALEOwJ
It’s how you should add your _custom.scss file when you are using a dependency manager for Bootstrap.
One last thing, you say that you also are worried about not advanced users. And I’m happy to hear it, so you should purpose to inside the package already includes the ‘compiled’ version of everything. You know? Just add a folder named ‘compiled’ and drop all the ‘dist’ inside it when you release the template package. So you will have all the structure for this users and keep all your template ready to advanced users like me.
I’m sure that everyone will love this update.
Best regards.
Hi,
That’s a really great idea! Thanks for sharing! We will consider implementing it in Olympus, but not in the next update, since it will take much time, but we will try to do it gradually as much as we can.
Best regards, Crumina
Thank you! 
add the ability to create post sponsored, it would be great for the new wordpress version
Hi,
Please, specify what is post sponsored. Some example would great too.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am really interested in this template for a project. Do you have a sample page with a responsive table (I have to display some statistics in a table).
Many thanks
if I use the unlimited pro (1 & 1.it) package for Olympus Wordpress version, okay? I would like to know if it is good enough not to lag or slow down
Hi,
Please note that Olympus Wordpress version isn’t ready yet. Also please, specify what is unlimited pro (1 & 1.it) package?
Thanks!
Best regards, Crumina
I know the wordpress version will be ready in a month. The package I mean this web space and unlimited traffic volume – Unlimited MySQL 5 (1 GB) Database – Ram up to 9GB – 1 & 1 CDN with Railgun ™ – 1 & 1 CDN and CDN for dynamic content – Redundant connection and Geographic Redundancy
Hi,
There are no special hosting requirements in the theme itself, but they are in the plugins, on which it will be based (bbPress, buddyPress, Woocommerce). But the above provided characteristics must be more than enough for the theme with plugins, at our opinion.
Best regards, Crumina
perfect, I expect the wordpress version
Is there any PHP version all functional to use? Or do I have to program your HTML TEMPLATE? I have no programming knowledge …
Hi,
In about a month we will release Olympus Wordpress version based on Buddypress plugin. It will be similar in design, but a little bit different in functionality.
Best regards, Crumina

Best regards, Crumina
Hi, when is the wordpress version being released?
Hi,
The theme must be ready approx. in 1.5 month.

Hello! The modal Popup not works! I used the “id”, “data-toggle” and “data-target” tags and nothing. Help me, please!
Hi,
We use standard Bootstrap popups in the template. They work on the demo site, and this is the same version we supply to our customers. Here is a tutorial how to create them http://wpcode.helpscoutdocs.com/article/137-popup-windows
If popups don’t work on your site, you probably missed some step from the tutorial. Please, check it.
If it still doesn’t help, please send us HTML code of the problem page to info@crumina.net and we will try to assist.
Please, note it is night in our country now and we will be able to check this issue in the morning.
Thanks!

43-BlogV1-Grid.html ==> icons not load
Hi,
Please, refer to this article for a solution http://wpcode.helpscoutdocs.com/article/126-icons-are-not-displayed-in-the-browser
Elements loaded from external sources, be it icons or other, may not display in the browser, when HTML files are opened directly from your computer location. This issue occurs due to browsers’ same origin policy security restrictions.
There are two ways to solve this:
- Change security for local files in a browser (this allows you to access your page as
file:///yourFile.html - Run files from a local web server (this allows you to access your page as
http://localhost/yourFile.html
The extended information on this matter and ways to solve this for each browser can be found in this tutorial.
wordpress! wordpress! wordpress! waiting per hour my friend.
Hi,
We also do our best to finish this theme asap

Hi, I just want to ask question.
Why most of image that i got doesn’t show the actual image? its just show the grey background and text in center that show dimensional of the image? can you tell me why?
Hi!
Thanks for asking! This is a good question.
On Themeforest images that are supposed to be copyright protected MUST be replaced by placeholders in all Wordpress themes, PSD and HTML template. This is requirement for all authors on the market and we must follow it.
Best Regards, Crumina
Hello i would like to purchase this tempalte ..but I have question, Regarding music part. its mentioned that I can login with spotify account , is it really possible to do that? and is it possible to login with other provider like apple music or Google Play Music and others and do you have any image how to generate money from that like partnering with Spotify or something
Thanks
Hi,
No, it is not possible. Olympus is just a HTML template, but not a fully functional social network script. To achieve required functionality, additional coding is needed.
Best regards, Crumina
thanks for your reply. i understand that i need additional coding But i was asking about the concept it self?
More about the authorization concept via Spotify you can find in this article.
To make it work, there must be some server side script , that would process authorization, store user sessions, send some API commands, tokens etc.
where do I find the progress page for the wordpress version?
Hey.. I got some issue
i already send the question via tickets on crumina support… but i want to tell you here also.
when the browser width just like size of tablet, the header icons and its number not positioned well.. i already send the screenshot.. hope you can help me to fix it
Hi!
Thanks for your message. Yes of course we will help you and fix that issue. But now is Saturday night in our country and all coders have weekend. On Monday morning we will send a solution to you.
Best Regards, Crumina
Thanks, you can send me the respone to deni.victoria@gmail.com later. Happy weekend, have a nice day !
i love this template. but on the demo when you click on the comment icon on every post, it is suppose to show number of comment in a drop down but it is static.. how can this be made possible…
because if it is like that then how can you read comments from other members?
Hi Josh,
Olympus is just a HTML template. You can link anything to the comments icon. It can be link to the inner post, to the profile page etc.
Number of comments can be calculated only by a CMS in the backend. But since it is just HTML template, there is no backend.
Best regards, Crumina
Thank you. but it would have been much more easier and lovely if it has accordion so members can stay on the page and have all activities done..
Thank you for your thoughts! We will take this feature into consideration.
Any suggestions on how to remove the right sidebar?
Hi,
Please, specify which page you refer to. But actually you just need to remove the sidebar code from the page and specify 12 column width to the main container section.
Best regards, Crumina
