Hey, I figured out how to install the theme but is it the personal portfolio one? Can I customise it to look like the personal portfolio one? Thanks Thalia

You can import demo content in Theme Options -> Home, choose the Personal Portfolio demo to import, so you will receive all pages, posts and settings that look exactly like our demo.

However, the importing will append the pages and posts to your site, we would recommend you to import demo content on the fresh install site.

Hey, I downloaded your theme to replace my old one but when it comes to installing it via Wordpress add new plugin and appearance panel, it comes up with an error message saying “Theme install failed” That the package cannot be installed as theme is missing the style.css stylesheet

The download package contains the theme file and documentation including other contents.

You will need to extract that zip file first. And then you can follow the instructions in our documentation on how to install the theme.

Hi team, I can’t see where to update the static image headers on pages like “About Us” or “Services”. When I’m in the composer, the first row it show is the text row, not the image and text which says, for example “What we do.” “Services”.

Thanks P

Actually, it’s okay, I’ve worked it out!

It’s in the Overlap Options -> Title Area below the page builder.

Hi Love the theme!!! keep up the good work guys! We have a weird error however. in food one page template, in the rightsidebar if delete the wyde flicker stream and adds wyde instagram, the page does not load, the animation icon just contnues to rotate… please help Eoolk

another question…how do one hide/delete the portfolio from the foodstylist one page template? i cannot find where to choose which part to hide or delete generally from the homepage. please help

to clearify…where do i handle the main home page layout? to choose which part goes where, move bloge up and down or hide portfolio?

Those parts on the front page are ordered by menu order. You can change the order, add or remove any parts in Appearance -> Menus. Edit the Primary Menu to change the content on your front page.

Hello! Nice theme and works fine! One question, how are the images managed? for different resolutions? is it automated? i mean, i see for instance overlap-bg-011.jpg and then in the same place overlap-bg-011-1280×720.jpg overlap-bg-011-1024×576.jpg but in the demo content, in media, only the big ones are loaded. is it automated to change the resolution? do i have to do this with my images, with the archive names? or it is just an example? thanks

WordPress will automatically crop your images into the certain sizes as defined by the theme, this is how WordPress theme works. You don’t need to resize them before uploading but just upload the big ones. The recommended sizes for blog posts and portfolio posts are 1280×960px or larger. This to make sure all images will be cropped and display properly in different layouts.

However, all background images (e.g. row background, title area background) will display in original size as uploaded so you will need to resize them before uploading.

Also, some content elements (e.g. Single Image, Image Gallery) have an Image Size option that allows you to choose the size of image to display.

Anyway, if you’ve imported demo content, you can easily replace the images by using Visual Composer page builder, edit the pages and posts to change the images one by one.

Hey there, a strange glitch is happening on ALL the website that are using Overlap. On my mobile device (iphone), the only social media icon that is appearing in both the footers and mobile navigation slider is for Vimeo. The Facebook and Instagram icons do not appear… but this only occurs on my phone. When I shrink my desktop computer’s browser window down to force the mobile navigation slider to appear, all the social media icons are there. Any clue as to why this is happening, and how to fix it? Here are 2 sites that are using the theme: http://sheepshead.whiterabbitstudio.us/ http://wolfcreekbackcountry.com

It seems like you’ve figured it out. Both sites are working fine on my end. See the pictures below:

No, sorry… not sure why they aren’t appearing on my end, but they don’t show up as they do on your phone.

I’m sorry but I’ve tried with both iPhone and Android phones, they are working properly. I have no idea why it doesn’t work on your end. It might be a connection issue or a Safari browser issue on your phone, try it with different phones or different internet service providers to see if it works.

Hello. Revolution slider is causing a fatal error at stylishsparrow.com. Currently I have the plugin deactivated. I will paste the error message below. Can you please advise me on how to resolve? Thanks!

Try to update the Slider Revolution plugin to see if it works. You will need to update the theme first. After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to update the Slider Revolution that’s included in the theme.

We would recommend you to enable automatic update feature by using the Envato Market plugin to make sure your site will always be compatible with the new update of WordPress.

You can find more details on how to install the Envato Market plugin in our documentation. Go to the Downloads tab on ThemeForest, find the Overlap theme and then choose “All files & documentation”. After you extract the zip file, you will see the documentation inside.

Hi The anchor links doesn´t work with Chrome. I read in others comments that is necesary update the theme, but if I update the theme, the web broke, the appearance change totally and I can see shortcodes that, for any reason, the last update can´t manage. ¿Any other solution for fix anchor links in chrome without have to re-make all web? Thank you so much

Hi,

You will need to update the theme and all bundled plugins to fit that issue. Make sure you’ve updated those plugins to the latest update.

After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to update Wyde Core and other bundled plugins. If the notification message was dismissed, navigate to Appearance > Install Plugins to see the bundled plugins list.

Don’t worry, the theme updating won’t affect your current data and settings. If you’ve never edited any files in the theme folder directly, your changes won’t be lost. If you’d like to edit the PHP template files, please do it via your child theme.

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

Hi

Thank you so much for your answer I saw this solution in comments before and I tried to update the theme and plugins as you indicate, but, when I updated, the web looks break, as you can see in the image: https://goo.gl/QAhRy4 For this reason, I go back to previous version of the theme I don´t know what could be the reason I use child theme for style changes, I didn´t do any other changes Yo can see the web (with anchor not working) in https://goo.gl/vLdVwL

Thank you so much in advance

It seems like Wyde Core plugin or Visual Composer plugin didn’t activate so it displays the shortcodes text instead of the right output.

There may be something wrong while updating those plugins. Try to update the theme again. After you update the theme, you will need to update the bundled plugins to the latest version as below:

-Wyde Core 3.6.7
-Visual Composer 5.3

If you couldn’t update them, you will need to delete them first, and then install the new ones that come with the theme.

If it still doesn’t work, please provide me your admin login in the contact form: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hi, I just bought the Overlap template https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205 but it sends me the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in / home4 / ar3 / site /gzroyalpartners.com/wp-content/plugins/wyde-core/shortcodes/class-wyde-shortcode.php on line 30. what can i do? the data on my server are:

Program Version Apache: 2.2.34 CentOS: CentOS release 6.9 (Final) cPanel: 60.0 (build 48) Curl: 7.12.1 MySQL 5.5.51-38.2 phpMyAdmin 4.3.8 Python: 2.6.6 Program Version Perl: 5.10.1 PHP: 5.4.45 ionCube Loader: Zend Optimizer: Ruby: 1.8.7 Rails: 2.3.18 OpenSSL: 1.0.1e-fips

This is a compatibility issue. You’re using the old version of PHP.

The recommended version of PHP for WordPress is 7.0 or greater as you can see in WordPress system requirements: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

However, if PHP 7.0 is not available on your server, the minimum version that is compatible with this theme is PHP 5.6.

Hi

Could you tell me how to override the ’+’ symbols on unordered lists? I have tried adding an extra CSS class to the row and adding a list-style in customise, but that hasn’t worked.

Thanks

Hi,

In the recent updates of this theme, we just removed the + icon from the unordered lists. You will see it only when you put the list in the Text Block element from Visual Composer.

Anyway, if you’d like to change that icon in the Text Block element, you will need to add custom CSS below in Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS:

.w-text-block ul > li:before {
    font-family: 'overlap';
    content: "\e82f";
}

Or add the one below to hide it:

.w-text-block ul > li:before {
   display: none;
}

Hi

When viewing the blog on tablet the title is truncated:

http://www.next-big-thing.net/site3/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Screen-Shot-2017-10-21-at-09.47.15.png

Could you tell me how to override this?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m sorry, this is a bug of the theme on tablet landscape mode. Thank you for reporting this issue, we will fix it in the next update.

Anyway, you can fix it right now by adding custom CSS below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS:


    @media only screen and (max-width: 1280px) and (min-width: 992px) {

        .w-blog-posts.w-masonry .item-0 .post-title {
            height: auto;   
            white-space: normal;
        }

    }

Hello Wyde, I made a website with overlap theme. I have issues with this page http://edifico.site/realisations/ on mobile phone (I have the screen shots) The title is left centered but the golden line beneath the title stays centered. The portfolio doesn’t show on mobile phone or the titles on the images are cut. Can you help me? Thank you. Best Regards.

Hello,

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

and when will that be? The site will be online soon!

We will release it in a couple of days.

Hi,

I have some problems with the “Theme Options”, I can’t save any changes. I get this message (translated) each time: “There is a problem with your action. Please try to reload the page.”

I haven’t found any answer about that issue on this discussion feed. Can you please help me with that?

Thanks

Hi,

I’m sorry but we’ve never seen this issue before. I think that it is a server configuration issue. Also, your server is running on the old version of PHP. Try to upgrade it to see if it works.

Hey there,

the portfolio isn´t showing up on mobile screens (after the Portfolio categories menu collapse together).

We updated the theme to 1.3.

Where is the problem?

Here is the link: http://www.designmaleins.de/work/

Thanks and best regards, Sebastian

Hi there,

I’m sorry, this is a bug of the theme.

Thank you for reporting this issue, we will fix it ASAP!

Hey, I’m trying to fix the position/visibility of figcaption text on mobile devices in my portfolio grid, see how it looks: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6pyvAua7lsaN1F4azZ3bHpaUjg Maybe some advice? See the example live at mashanator.eu. Thank you!

Hi,

I’m sorry, this is a bug of the theme. It will be fixed in the next update.

You can fix it right now by adding custom CSS below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS:

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

.w-portfolio-grid:not(.w-photoset) .w-view figure h3 {
    height: auto;
    max-height: none;
}

I’ve tried to use the Instagram Feed Widget within the Slidebar which doesn’t work. The page loads endless without displaying the contents. Is this issue a bug or a configuration problem?

The Instagram Feed widget is included in the new update of Wyde Core plugin. However, it is compatible with only 2 new themes called “Aoraki” and “Ivery”. It will be available for the Overlap theme in the next update.

Hello!

I love working with Overlap so far, this theme is wonderful!

I am wondering if you know of a way to target the Address Info Window which appears over a location in the Goggle map element. When I inspect it, it appears to be nested in a number of divs with no classes or Ids. Any idea of how to target this object?

Thanks very much! - Kaity Hauge

Here’s a CSS class of the Info Window on Google Maps:

.gm-style-iw {

}

Hello:). I also have the error in chrome incorrectly. In my site on a page when I click in the menu unfortunately nothing moves and the page does not scroll. I’ve seen that with the new update you’ve solved, but unfortunately I can not update the theme since I made various changes and did not install the child theme. Can you please please file overwrite only by ftp? I only need to know the files to overwrite that affect the scrolling issue on Chrome. Thank you so much for your heart! Unfortunately, the site is stationary and I do not know how to fix it. Thank you again and thank you for the great theme I really liked.

I would not recommend you to edit any files in the theme folder directly. You will need to always update the theme to fix any issues including a security issue. Also, this to make sure your site will always be compatible with the new update of WordPress and other plugins.

I would recommend you to move all your modifications into a child theme so they will be preserved and you can normally update the theme without losing your changes.

Anyway, if you couldn’t move your changes to the child theme. You can fix the scrolling issue on Chrome as below:

1. Download and extract the latest update of the theme zip file.

2. Upload the new file “overlap/js/plugins.js” from the theme folder to replace the old one on your web server.

Thank you so much!!! now works perfectly still :). Thanks thanks thanks!!! you are the top !!

Hello, I am trying to edit my page but there are lots of things that I don’t understand.. do you have some video tutorials to learn how to do it? thank yo so much!

Hello,

This theme comes with Visual Composer page builder so you can easily build your pages by using a drag & drop page builder.

Here are some video tutorials on how to use Visual Composer page builder: https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/backend-editor-collapsible-row-feature-explained/

However, those videos might show you just a basic guide on how to use a drag & drop page builder and this theme comes with custom content element and features so you will need to import demo content and find how we use and set the content elements on each page. You can also find more details in our documentation.
