hi, i need help on theme. i need to have the project images on home page at the same size. thx

Hey there,

If you want to have the images from the homepage the same size, all you have to do is go to Appearance → Customize → Layout → Portfolio Archive and uncheck the Enable 3D Grid option. Can you give this a try and tell me how it works?

Thanks,
Radu

A theme to 225$ and only 1 update, and no updates from 2018, kinda weird.

Hey there,

No update was needed so far for our Pile theme but can you tell me if there’s anything in particular that you expect? Or why do you think that it’s time for a new update? Maybe there’s a good reason for that and we should work on it.

Thanks,
Radu

HI, just wondering a few things before I start designing on purchased website:

1. What size images should I use for the Slideshow/Hero content? Best resolution for retina screens without slowing the website down?

2.How do I get the moving scroll grid like effect such as seen on http://chloemohe.com/ (Pile website)

3. Is it possible to have a one page parallax homepage? Do you have a tutorial for that?

4. Do you have a recommendation for an Instagram plugin for the footer?

Thanks in advance :) – love the site work!

Hi, any chance of some answers? I have support right?

Hey,

Sorry for this delayed reply.

  1. There’s no specific size to use for the hero area. I would say that an image around 1900×1200px would look fine both on any device. Also, you can use bigger images and use a tool like http://optimizilla.com/ to optimize them and make sure that the website won’t be slowed.
  2. Can you try to use the Enable 3D Grid option from Appearance → Customize → Layout → Portfolio Archive? This should do the trick.
  3. Only the pages you can see in our demo can be created for now. Do you have any example website that you can send to me so I can tell you whether you can achieve this with our theme or not?
  4. There are a lot of Instagram plugins that you can use. This is just an example that I’m using on different websites: https://wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/

Please let me know if you have any other questions about the theme :-)

Thanks,
Radu

Hello, I bought your theme and it is perfect. But i have one issue : >>> I can’t embed video from Youtube in a “Project” page. :/

I have done all updates, and tried many different ways, but it is still the same. Can you help me ? Thank You

Hey,

Have you tried to add a text block in the project and paste an YouTube link on it? This way you should be able to add a video to your project. Here’s a quick show of what should you do: https://cl.ly/0W2i0Z0Y2r3p

Hi. Can i use Youtube video links in projects with this theme? Do you have some documentation or examples?

Thank you.

Hi guys, my support is expired but I need a help until I renew it. I want to disable paralax on hero area for single project/portfolio, is it possible, thanks

Hey,

I understand that you’d like to stop the parallax effect but making this kind of change would require a whole different structure of the theme elements and I’m afraid that this is a part I cannot help you with. I looked for some tricks to do the job but nothing worked as expected.

Thanks,
Radu

Thank you Radu, I was thinking the same… Best regards, Jeff

I have just installed your theme but I dont see how I can install the demo data. Can you help?

Hi,

You can simply do that by going to Appearance → Customize and scroll down to “Demo Data” section.

Let me know if you can make this happen. :)

Thank you,
Alin

hi, i need help on theme: i would like having alway the description on the project images in home not only on mouseover. thx

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reaction here. You can simply do that by using the following CSS snippet:

.c-pile__item-content {
     opacity: 1 !important;
}

Insert it in Additional CSS field under ppearance → Customize → Additional CSS field and let me know how it went.

Thank you,
Alin

perfect thx. just another question: i need to translate on project tab, “see more” anche “next project”. where i can find the text to transalte? thx

your theme PILE, interest me a lot, I’m a photographer and I have 2 domains one for my portfio and the sale of my photos and another for my blog, my question is what I have to buy 2 licenses

Hey there,

I’m glad you’re interested in using our theme on your website. The license terms of ThemeForest say that you need to have a separate license for each domain you’re using the theme in. So, if you want to use Pile on two different domains, you need to purchase two licenses.

You can try to reach out the ThemeForest team and ask them about this (you can use this link: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new ), maybe things have changed and you can use the same license for more than one domain. Since they are the ones that made the terms, they should be the ones to help you with an advice about this too :-)

Thanks, Radu

Hi Great Theme! I am running into a problem where on mobile (iPhone) the video background here on chrome does not resize down. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you again got a solid theme!

Hey there,

Please send us a message with the link to the page you have this problem using the Theme Help button (bottom right side) from your website dashboard area and we’ll check this out :-)

Thanks,
Radu

Social media sharing is broken in the latest version.

Hey Eddy,

Could you give me some more details so I can check it out and see what’s its status, please? I’m asking this because I couldn’t see any issue in our list about this and I want to check it out.

Thanks,
Radu

Hi, beautiful theme. I am having problems, however, with larger images/blocks dissappearing when you “scroll up” — example: If you scroll down midway through the page to where there’s a slideshow of large photos accompanied by Letters, if you scroll back up, the whole section dissapears: http://www.openi.in/work/v2ma/

Is there a way to keep “blocks” visible, once they’ve been loaded, so that they don’t disappear as you’re looking at it?

Any help would be great! Thank you

Hey there,

I just checked the page you attached but I cannot see this problem anymore. Have you managed to sort this out in the meantime?

Thanks,
Radu

Hi, it happens when reading a longer letter in the slideshow, when you scroll back up, everything dissapears and “reloads” again. is there no setting to “turn off” this automatic “reload”ing of content? Thanks, Lala

Hello

I have a question bevor i buy this Template. I want use This template for my Video Portfolio. Can i make Portfolio page for my Video Vimeo/Youtube and i want that all Video from Portfolio playing with Pop-up and not open new page?

Best Regards Edward

Hey Edward,

Is there any chance that you could attach a link to one of the pages where you’d like this to be changed, please? I just want to make sure that we talk about the same element. Once you give me this link, I can tell you for sure whether this can be done or not.

Thanks,
Radu

Why this theme is so expensive?

Hey there,

Glad to know that you’re interested in Pile. Let me tell you that this is the price that we think is closer to what we consider fair. We invest a lot of time, energy, and money, and we also provide a flawless customer experience for people who come on board. We had to align to this marketplace boundaries, but now we have to chance to put the right fee on our work. I hope my answer gives you a wider perspective of what’s happening with Pile’s price.

Best regards,
Radu

Hi Guys! Your theme is awesome ! I had a little problem with the portfolio archive. I disable the 3d grid but it seems often enabled

Hey Riccardo,

You can reach us by using the Theme Help button from your website dashboard area and we’ll check this issue a bit closer. Don’t worry, we’ll sort this out in no time :-)

Thanks,
Radu

Wow. This has changed and is amazing. Question… is it possible to have a full screen video hero header?

Hi, I’ve got some pretty large video files and am thus using vimeo as my video CDN. BTW, I licensed pile a long time ago, like many themes I just like to buy them so I have plenty of options for clients. I really like where you are going as a theme shop with highly developed and excellently coded themes. This one plays nicely with all of the other plugins I am using on the site for multimedia storytelling. omnisapien.com is the site I am working on right now. It’s a creative art / teaching project.

150MB videos and up for these 3 and others. I’d like to have a true hero header as an option.

Hey,

The theme does have an option to add a video to the header area. However, you can only use self-hosted videos (not from Vimeo or YouTube), for now: https://cl.ly/0p2S0Z3k062i Have you tried to use this option so far and see how it works?

Thanks,
Radu

Hi, just to let you know that I have made the update, but the customizer was not working (changes did not record). Came back to 2.2.2

Hey Radu, as you should know, my support is expired so it does not work. Sorry to say, but I feel $186 / 6 months support is too much money for someone who ask a question about every 6 months!

Regards, Dan

Hey,

You can reach us at hello@pixelgrade.com and see what’s happening on your side when trying to access the customizer area. I’m sure that this is just a simple thing we can fix in no time.

Thanks,
Radu

Ok, I’ll do that later. Thanks Radu!

Hi, does your theme support background images using CSS with the ayax loading it? (ie different ones for different pages), I tend to use yellow pencil CSS editor and wondered if this would load properly. Also using short codes from plugins etc will these load correctly? Lovely looking theme, hope to give it a try soon.

Hey there,

This is the first time to hear about having images between pages when loading happens. I have to admit that I personally love this idea and I will take it to my colleagues too, maybe we can give it a shot in the future.

Regarding the plugin shortcodes, this is a tricky part. Basically, if the plugin is compatible loading then everything will work very well. However, if the plugin requires a page refresh in order to load some content, things will go south. So, basically, this is all about the way that the plugin works.

Thanks,
Radu

Ok, great. Thank you for your response and I will keep an eye on your theme hoping you support it in the future. Best regards.

Completely love this theme except a few things that are holding me back. The “add to cart”, “view cart” and “checkout” pages actually refresh the site. Are there currently any plans to fix this? Would really love to repurchase this for a personal project but those pages will not do for what I need it for.

Hey there,

I think that you’re talking about the fact that the checkout or cart pages don’t have the fade-out effect, am I right? If yes, then we already added this to our list and try to find a fix for it in the next update :-)

Is there anything else you’d like to ask me about the theme?

Thanks,
Radu

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about and I just got goosebumps from knowing you are attempting to fix this. Because as I said, this is an amazing theme and would be willing to buy another license for it.
