Max, i think I found the reason why the icons disappear.

I changed the URL from “andre.klose.com” to “www.andreklose.com”. When I change it back, icons are back.

So what I have to do in order to have www.andreklose.com and see the social icons.

Thx, ANdré

Hi, I’m seeing the same problem from google search console as another user reported 19 days ago (Max). Missing: author Missing: entry-title Missing: updated Do you know when this is going to be fixed?

Microformats are added in theme and uploaded @ ThemeForest.

You can download the updated version (6.1003).

Great thanks! Is downloading and renaming the existing theme folder the best way to update?

Yes, you can replace the existing theme folder.

The customizer settings will be saved.

Hi, I’ve been having issues with the Instagram plugin. I waited overnight for it to cache out and reinstalled so now it’s pulling all the posts- but now it shows at the top and bottom of the page. I only want it on the bottom.

thanks!

Hey, slipperyotters!

To remove the top Instagram just go to Appearance – Customize – Header – Instagram Username and remove everything from this input (make it blank).

This should remove the Instagram from top of the page.

Hope this helps.

Max

p.s. I love your website logo :)

Thanks! that did the trick :)

Hi, i have a problem with the theme, because there is something blocking the bot after seconds. if i change the theme, then the indexing is no problem. can you please check it, thanks JJ

I’ve registered on seobility and currently crawling your website, it has 0 errors and every page is crawled correctly, here is a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/3DUY0pQ.png

Seems like there was an issue with CloudFlare.

Yes, you are right! I do the same with seobility and it works. thanks and sorry :-) JJ

You’re welcome, JJ! :)

Hello! I was wondering how i could make each category of post appear on its own page. For example i want all posts of the exercise category to appear on the exercise page. Is there a widget or shortcode for that? I can’t seem to find a way for it to work… Thanks in advance!

awesome! thank you so much for your great support!

hello again! i installed the yoast seo plugin a couple of days ago and it worked fine but now it disappeared. i can’t re-install it because it says, the file exists already. i think it has something to do with me installing the child theme beforehand? thanks a lot!

Hello, eastsidecommunications!

There is an issue with WordPress when there are some files from plugin left in directory.

I can recommend you using FTP/SSH to manually remove the SEO plugin.

Or you can send me access to WordPress admin panel at support@major-themes.com i will try to reinstall it.

Hi..

Great theme, and I’ve had luck with most everything that I’ve needed to do, but I do have a few questions.

1. I cannot for the life of me find out where to change the color of the Add to Cart button. I wasn’t sure if this is something that would be controlled by the theme or by Woo, but I wanted to at least ask.

2. When viewed in Firefox or Chrome, my header (which is just text, no logo) shows up just fine. When viewed in IE, it changes to a single column with all letters stacked vertically. Is there something I can do to fix this?

3. Is there a way to change the level of zoom on the header images? I like the effect, but my images get blown up way too much in some of them. Should I just be using much larger images, or is there some code I can change?

4. When clicking through the Description/Additional Info/Reviews tabs, is there a way to change the highlight color to match that of the theme/add to cart button?

Thanks in advance! I looked really hard to try to find this stuff in the customization area, so if it’s actually there, I apologize.

Hello, hgphenex!

1. After the WooCommerce updated to 3.3 version in the product page button color changed but i didn’t notice it. I’ve already fixed it now, and tomorrow I’ll upload the updated version that will make the “Add to Cart” button in the theme customized by theme customizer option “Accent color” (like everything else).

There is one more “Add to cart” button in the product category. It can be changed by custom styles in Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS, you can make any color, border or background for example we’ll add background:

.woocommerce ul.products li a.added_to_cart, .woocommerce ul.products li a.button {
    color: #fff; /* Making text color white */
    border: 0; /* Removing border */
    background: #e05b5b; /* Setting background color */
}

2. The theme was not tested in IE, but i will look into this issue

3. The header images are positioned and set automatically and it depends on screen resolution and the dimension of image, the best experience is with horizontally images 16:9 / 16:10 dimensions. It was made so because there are really a lot of different devices, Mac, Surface, iPhone, iPad, Kindle and even new laptops with different and sometimes strange resolutions so it makes almost impossible to set the default level of zoom for every of them. That’s why theme header images automatically fills inside the box and centers it. The perfect image resolution is horizontal with 16:9 / 16:10 dimensions and 1920×1080 pixels resolution.

4. Yes you can change it in Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS:

.woocommerce .woocommerce-tabs .wc-tabs li.active a {
    background: #000; /* Background color */
    color: #fff; /* Text color */
}

Hope this helps!

Hi Max!

Thanks so much for the help! The code you sent over worked great, so thanks a bunch. I understand the lack of IE testing – I hadn’t been testing in it either, but just happened to have someone mention the issue.

Will the update for the theme show up in WP just a normal theme update, or do I need to look for it elsewhere? It is just absolutely driving me bonkers that the add to cart button is so camouflaged by the site background. Looking forward to getting that one fixed! :D

The updated theme was uploaded, you can download the new version with the WooCommerce fixed :)

Hi there, I have an install question.

When I upload the theme ZIP as it comes from themeforrest to WP I receive an error:

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

When I Unzip the themeforrest ZIP I have the chance to install the Norway6.zip (works) and the Norway6-chield.zip (works when Norway 6 is already installed).

Do have to install both ZIP files?

Kind regards, André

Hey, André!

The error was because that main zip file contains not only the theme, but demo data, documentation and the child theme.

So after you unzip it you’ll see norway6.zip file – it’s main theme file.

You should only install norway6.zip that was inside the archive.

The norway-child.zip is needed only if you are planning modification of source code of the theme.

Max

Max. Thank you for the fast response. Done.

Hi guys, I have a problem with the theme twitter widget. When I insert it in the footer, the following message appears: “Waiting for Twitter … Once my Twitter is ready they will display my Tweets again.” I waited a while but nothing happened, and the twitter username is correct. Do I have to wait a few days or is it a problem with my account?

Hey, Roberto!

Due to Twitter rules you should get your own API key for tweets to show up.

Here is how you can do this, just follow the steps: http://major-themes.com/norway.html#3.1

Max

Hello!

Nice theme, I really like it.

I was wondering if there is any possibility to remove the “Follow XXX Instagram” button in the Instagram widget. Appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Everything is fixed now, i also added a link in footer :)

Thank you very much for you awesome help like always :)

You’re welcome! :)

Menu.

The menu does not “drop down” when hovering the cursor over it in Chrome, looks to be working Edge (most of the time) Is there a way to “fix” this? Thanks.

Kind regards, J Johnsen

Hey, J Johnsen!

Seems like you have a lot of third party plugins installed and if you look in the browser console there are a lot of errors they are producing and they interfere with other scripts of the theme.

Can you send me access to WordPress admin panel at support@major-themes.com i will try to fix this.

Max

Hi, I like this theme but according to Google Webmasters tool it misses some structured data (author, entry-title, updated). Last Year, you wrote, you will fix this. what is the status? thanks, JJ

Hey, JJ!

I will look into this. Do you have the report of Google Webmaster? Can you send it to support@major-themes.com so i’ll add the missing things to structure.

Max

So on your demo site, the top three items are not repeated lower on the same page. Am i missing a setting to have “Top Featured” or “bottom featured” but how do I just have other blog posts in the next area of that page? I’m getting repeats of the top featured articles in the list below.

I would like to have – Top 3 newest articles at top. Rest of posts starting at the 4th post by date.

Hey, kookjai!

To set up featured articles you can edit the post / page you want to feature and check the “Top Featured” or “Bottom Featured” option, next Publish or Update and they will be on top.

Here is how you can do it:

There is no option to make newest 3 posts featured, only by setting them up manually. If you want to remove the top featured option and make the recent 3 posts featured just contact me at support@major-themes.com with access to WordPress admin panel, i will help you with this.

Max

that’s not what I’m meaning – right now I have a series of 7 posts on the site. 3 that I have selected Top Featured. What I don’t want is to have the top featured show up in the list below. To exclude them for example if they’re not “Top Featured”

Top Featured are often going to be new posts, with not “top featured” posts just showing up below.

So basically I want to have the posts listed below the top featured to be filtered of top featured. Exclude from showing if top featured is selected.

Does that make sense?

Yes, now i understand what you want to achieve.

Hi, i love your theme. Good Job!

I have two questions..

How can i use an own achive-template for ex. Category 1, Category 2 and so on..

And it is possible to enable html at the category description?

Thanks, JJ

Hey, JJ!

Thank you! :)

It is possible to create your own archive template, but you should create it manually in the theme folder and write your own php and css code if you want to style it.

The category description in this theme is not visible in this version. To add it you can edit archive.php file and insert the code after H1 closing tag (line 10):
<div class="category-description">
        <?php echo category_description(); ?>
</div>
After you’ve done it go to Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS and copy-paste the CSS code for a new html tag:
.category-description {
    flex-basis: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0 0 30px 0;
    line-height: 170%;
}

I can help you with this modifications if you want, just contact me at support@major-themes.com with the access to WordPress admin panel.

Hello! I am having trouble with finding either the tab or the location of where I enter photos or pages so they show up in the banner at the top (the trip-tic like banner). I’m sure I’m just blind but I’ve searched the theme’s customization builder and I still cannot find it. Would you be able to help?

Thanks!

~Andy

Hey, Andy!

To add the posts or pages to the `banner at the top` you should edit the post or page you want to add, check the “Top Featured” and Publish/Update it. Here is the screenshot of how to do it:

Hope this is what you are looking for :)

Max

Thank you SO much! That worked perfectly. I knew I was blind – so easy to accomplish. Thanks again for such a quick response and the help!

Andy, it’s not just you, i feel that i need to move this to F.A.Q. because more and more people asking about this :)

You’re welcome!

Hello, I love the theme! However, I have a few questions about how I can tweak it further. Is there a way to hide the following information from each post: - Author name and avatar - Comment count - Author byline from footer - Category name

I’d like to remove this information from the single post page, the post excerpts on the home page, as well as the trio in the header on the home page.

In addition, as I keep comments closed on my site, I’d like to remove the “Comments are Closed” notification from the bottom of each post in the single post view.

Is there a way to do this without editing code?

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Hi there, first of all thank you very much for this awesome theme!

I bought it a while ago, so support has expired, but there is something that seems like a bug: When inverting the header colors in the theme customization menu, the sticky header turns to white text on white ground. (Not very user friendly :D)

I have looked extensively where to change the sticky header background color, but have found no option and am not too experienced with CSS.. Did I miss something or could you tell me how to change the background color to grey via custom CSS?

the site is https://anoutpost.com Thank you, Benjamin

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! and thanks for the tip, it worked nicely!

Cheers, Benjamin

You’re welcome, Benjamin!

Hey guys,

Can you please tell me what’s the best size/parameters for the featured image?

Thank you

Hey, Roberto!

The best size / ratio for featured image is Landscape, 16:9 / 16:10 ratio. Preferred size for best experience at retina displays is 2560×1440, but you can use also 1920×1080 it will look decent even on retina displays.

Max.

Hey guys!

Is it possible not show the sidebar when i open a single post?

Thank you

Can you send a link to your website at support@major-themes.com

Okay, seems like i’ve found the solution.

The code:

.single .main-sidebar {
    display: none;
}
.single .content {
    flex-direction: column !important;
    align-items: center !important;
}

Ok, now it works! Thank you so much!
