Kind regards,

That’s great news. I think the problem is in my browser. Many thanks for your support. I’m glad you updated the theme. Good work.

Hello ranababaoglu,

Just to let you know, we will continue to support and update this theme. At the moment we are working on a new major update that will be finished at the beginning of October, so stay tuned.

Kind regards,

Andrew

FYI Support Link goes to 404 page. Bought theme today. HTML in footer copyright are doesn’t seem to work. Advice? Would like to give my webdesigner a link. Thanks.

{UPDATE} fixed after saving in Customizer, apologies.

Hello kathyduckett,

Can you please detail what support link goes to 404 page ? The one from item detail ( https://themeforest.net/item/media-consult-business-wordpress-theme/102888 – Help Desk ) goes to http://celestialthemes.com/support/login where you can login with your Envato account.

It looks like you were referring to to the link from here:

https://themeforest.net/item/media-consult-business-wordpress-theme/102888/support

Thank you for letting us know, it’s been fixed now.

I imported the demo content and play around with the customization options.

This works well so far, except for the “changing of color”. The theme always stays orange, even when reloaded.

How can I adjust the colors of the theme?

Hello woldeu,

I am glad the theme works fine for you. Inside the Customizer ( Appearance -> Live Customizer -> Color Options you can change the theme colors with other predefined skin colors.

Unfortunately there is no option to choose your own color, but we will address this shortly. We are working hard on an update that will allow you to choose any skin color/background, text color and body background from the Live Customizer via different color pickers.

The update should be ready this week, we will reply to you here once it will be ready.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Hi Andrew.

Thanks for your info.

I see the option in the Customizer – unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, but I will gladly await your update.

Best regards and thank you for the information.

Woldeu

Hello Woldeu,

We have released the update. Please re-download the theme package and reinstall it by overwriting the the existing theme files with the new ones. Also let us know if you encounter any issues with the new color options.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Is this Woocommerce compatible? Is your page builder WPBakery?

Hello joshuasloan,

Thank you for your interest in our theme.

1. No, it’s not WooCommerce ready at the moment, but it will be in a future update and we will create a separate demo shop to illustrate all it’s functionality.

2. No, we’re not using WPBakery and we are not planning in making it compatible with this builder(at least not at this moment). The theme works with Gutenberg visual editor( https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ – that is in beta right now but it will be an integral part of WordPress when version 5.0 will be released).

Kind regards,

Andrew

When is the next update of this planed to be?

Hello dotseo,

Thank you for your interest.

We don’t know yet but we are working on it. It’s a massive update that comes with design improvements, new functionality, responsive improvements and customizer options panel. We hope to have it ready some time in January 2018.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

thanks, i have installed it on https://superblog.dk/

Dear manager, I want to put multilanguage flages on header menu. I downloaded Polylang plugin when I activeted it , Flags appear sidebar.I do not want to they sidebar. Regards

Hello nrttn,

Most likely the header.php needs to be edited in order to add the flags inside the header. Please drop us an email through our contact form from our Themeforest profile with user, password, link to your site and also FTP details so we can make this fix for you.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Thank you for your comment . I have just sent to you our account details. Best Regards. nrttn

Like the theme. Have been using it successfully on www.goldenvisas.com for several years. We are still on 3.6 not sure if we are missing out too much?

One issue we have is with H1 on the posts. The theme takes the heading of each post as the page title. And then visually uses it as the heading on the post. To add another heading manually as an H1 directly below looks overkill. So we have to go without an H1 on all our post pages.

A further complication is when a category is created. You tag the posts to include in the category. But then all the headings from each tagged post come across as H1’s. So within the category page you end up with several or many H1’s (one for each of the tagged posts). Perhaps it would be better for SEO purposes to have these come across as H2’s and then have the ability to manualy write an H1 for each category.

Hello,

In version 3.7 we made improvements to the responsive functionality of the theme and removed some deprecated functions. You can check the changelog of the theme.

In regards with H1 / H2 tags, the posts listings use H2 (H1 can’t be used because it will appear more than once on the same page and it’s not good for SEO) The category listings also use H2 tags, not H1( example: http://goldenworks.eu/demos/mc3_wordpress/category/blog/lifestyle/ )

Indeed the post detail still uses H2 instead of H1, which is not correct. In the next update we will fix this issue.

Let us know if you have more questions and / or suggestions.

Hello,

The theme can be used for this kind of project, however it doesn’t have most of the functionality that you are describing here. As long as you or a developer from your team builds the functionality and integrates it in the theme you won’t have issues.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

We have discovered an incompatibility between your theme and WPML which causes multiple Server 500 errors. WPML will contact you about this, we hope you will be able to come up with a solution. For more info, please read our thread at https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wpml-rewrites-htaccess-when-switching-language-causing-server-error-500-alert/

Hi, I guess the update from yesterday does not yet fix this issue?

Hello puregraphx,

The issue should be fixed in the yesterday’s update. We have applied the fix that was recommended by the WPML team. Please let us know if it works for you.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Indeed, the issue seems to be fixed with this latest update. Thank you for a quick and satisfactory solution.

The Google Maps is not uploading properly on my site. It is giving the following messages ” Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

How do I fix this problem?

Hello,

I have recently edited my Media Support themed site. It has the current theme. When I view each page in the entire site while logged in as an admin, it looks exactly as it should. When I log out and view it normally (even after clearing my browser cache etc.), only the home page and recently added pages look right; the rest are still showing old nav menu items and page content that is old, with certain style elements missing and other errors of display. Seems the old pages are being cached somehow??

Anyways – how do I get this sorted out ASAP? can send log-in details if that would help. Have also posted to the Support Forums (couldn’t access them initially).

Please send us login details to your website through our contact form from our Themeforest profile so we can have a closer look at your issues.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Recently downloaded the latest version of the theme but the Zip file didn’t contain any documentation – how do I get it?

OK will do. I don’t see the dropdown as you’ve shown it. Thanks.

Whoah… I just tried it again and it is now working! Very strange.

I see. Glad you sorted it out!

Hey there, just wondering if this theme is still maintained… it seems that it hasn’t had any updates since the beginning of last year.

Hello pacomelo,

Thanks for interest. We continue to support all our themes, but we are indeed a bit behind with updates. We have been working on a major update for Laboratory theme for some time (and it’s almost ready) and once we release it we will also start updating and improving the rest of our themes, including Media Consult.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Hi, is it possible on the News/Blog pages to have a banner of the featured image. I mean on these pages: http://goldenworks.eu/demos/mc3_wordpress/news_categories/latest-news/ When click on an item then the page have a banner of the featured image of that news post.

Hello Alain,

This is possible to achieve, however code changes are needed to the single-news.php and our support is not covering this level of customizations. We recommend that you hire a developer for this.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

How to set up the slider? i dont find any documentation about that. I would like to know how to set up 1. Title + normal text 2.read more link in slider. Can you point that out on how to proceed?

Hello AlainL,

The slides are added from Slider -> Add new. The title of the slider is post title while the description is the normal text + more link. You can insert the more button by splitting the post content with the “Insert More Tag”.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Thanks. Works perfectly!

How do I remove some of the social media icons in the Portfolio section?

Thanks for pointing that out. Any idea how I can add a share on Pinterest link?

Yes,

After the last li pair(just before the closing ul), add this code:

<li><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=<?php echo esc_url( get_permalink() ); ?>&media=<?php echo esc_url ( wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID)) ); ?>" rel="external"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/pinterest_16.png" alt="pinterest" /></a></li>                             

You can get the pinterest icon from here:

https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/764968/media_pinterest_social_square_icon#size=16

	

Make sure you save it as pinterest_16.png and place it inside your “images” folder.

Try this suggestion and let us know the results.

Thanks! this works perfectly!

Where can I add the intro text on the portfolio page? The text that says in the demo: Portfolio 2-This page is a beautiful and clean example of portfolio or case studies index. This paragraph can be extended, the design of this template is very flexible and you can write here as much text / information as you desire.

Hello AlainL,

Text intro is added via custom fields. When creating the page template, use “mydesc”(without quotes) for name and your actual text for value.

Hi Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I can not add a custom field with mydesc. Custom field names is a dropdown menu and it has not mysdesc in it.

Hello AlainL,

Please see the custom fields usage from here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

The custom field box contains 2 text inputs: one with “name” and one with “value”. For name you insert “mydesc” and for value, the actual text that you want to appear on the portfolio.

I’m trying to make WPML flags on the header area but even if I check it in the theme option it doesn’t show up. Is there any othere widget area than default sidebar? would be great if there was a header widget area and few more. Anyway what should I do to get this flags up? I’m using Multisite Language Switcher plugin. I have the widget and I can put in in default sidebar widget area but I want it to be in the header.

Hello jallann,

Once the WPML plugins are active(WPML Multilingual CMS, WPML String Translation and WPML Translation Management), languages are added and the option is the theme options is enabled, the flags will be displayed in the header, just above the search. We have just tested this feature with the latest versions of these plugins and it works just fine, the only issue is that the language switcher is not styled for the latest versions WPML plugins. This is a thing that we will fix in the next update of the theme.

Hi, I am doing some work for a client and his site is currently using Media Consult 2.1 and he wants to upgrade it to the latest version.

Should that run smoothly or could we expect problems by running this update?

Best regards, Mamdouh

Hello Mamdouh,

2.1 is a very old version. Since 3.0 we changed more than 60% of the theme and its functionalities. So if you decide to upgrade, you will have to reconfigure it completely and also read the latest version of the documentation to learn how to do it properly.

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.

Hello

I’ve only just become aware there is a responsive update to MediaConsult. I have MC1.3. I suspect the “receive updates” box was not checked at time of original purchase. I’ve downloaded the update, but cannot upload to my site. I cannot login to support because I don’t have the necessary info. Can you help please?

Hello steveosborne,

The version that you currently use is very old. Since then not only responsivity has been added, but almost all the theme functionality is changed, so if you want to update, first you must connect to your site via FTP , remove all the theme files and upload the newest version of the theme instead. Then read the documentation to learn how to re-configure it. In regards with access to our support forum, you will need the purchase code that can be obtained by clicking on “download” button that corresponds to the Media Consult theme from your downloads section and then click on “License Certificate & purchase code (text)” text.

If for some reason you still can’t access to support forum, you can contact us via email by sending us a message through the contact form from our Themeforest profile ( http://themeforest.net/user/starshade ).

Kind regards,

Goldenworks team.
