Hi there. I want to add icons to the social bar at the top, i.e. add the Apple and Google icons for links to my podcast. Where can I edit to add these? I can’t see to find where the CSS is pulling the social icons, etc.

Hello devildogff,

Leave me a message via this form, I will send you an update file for that.

Thanks.

How do I install the pages from the preview version of the website?

Hi,

Firstly I highly encourage you to read the documentation, it would help you a lot.

If you installed the theme on a fresh WordPress site and want to have the same as the live demo does, I suggest you to use the WordPress Importer plugin to import demo content, the demo file (data.xml) can be found in “data” folder in “All files and Documentation” zipped file.

Otherwise, you can leave default, navigate to Settings > Reading and set “Your homepage displays” to “Latest Posts”, here you can also determine how many posts you want to show per page by changing the “Blog pages show at most” option.

To set up the featured slider, navigate to Appearance > Widgets, Drag the “[Kappa] Featured Posts” widget into the “Featured” widget area, in the settings for the “[Kappa] Featured Posts” widget you can set which posts you want to show. You have the option to show posts from a specific category, tag or even post ID(s).

I hope that helps.

The plugin isn’t importing correctly, is there another one I can use?

WordPress Importer is a plugin of WordPress.org team, it is the only one for importing content, as far as my experience, sometime it may not work as expected but I suggest you to try importing again, it must work fine.

Hi,

I’ve just installed the theme and it’s not working.

I tried putting it on my domain and got the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /var/sites/o/onecynicalgamer.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/themes/kappa/inc/wpes-envato-theme-update.php on line 164

Please, could you advise me on how to fix this?

Hi HilsFTW,

That happens because of PHP version, I guess your hosting is running PHP 5.2.x or lower, please make sure that you have PHP 5.3 or greater installed.

If you aren’t sure how to update PHP, you should ask the hosting support staff, they could help you out with that.

You can see WordPress requirements here https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

I hope that helps, don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Many thanks, instantly resolved my problem!

figured it out lol

How do you change the background color of the header/footer? or possibly add an image

Hi,

Unfortunately we do not have the such options, you should have a look into the Inspect Element tool, it would help you a lot, but I’m afraid you would need to understand CSS knowledge, see example https://pastebin.com/j6uRrrCd

I hope that helps.

Hi, I recently purchased your theme and get these errors:

Warning: array_search() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home2/devildogff/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mojo-marketplace-wp-plugin/inc/menu.php on line 42

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/devildogff/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mojo-marketplace-wp-plugin/inc/menu.php:42) in /home2/devildogff/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 1114

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/devildogff/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mojo-marketplace-wp-plugin/inc/menu.php:42) in /home2/devildogff/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1216

I have not changed anything regarding the CSS, other than a few colors. What can I do to fix these issues?

Hi,

These warnings come from the WordPress core or one of active plugins, not in the theme, I suggest you to deactivate all active plugins except the required plugins for testing, if no luck, you should ask the hosting support staff for checking the PHP settings

I hope that helps, feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

lastly, where can I find the mobile CSS for the menu color? The bar for the menu is a grey color, I want to change that

Hi,

It looks like you changed the navigation background, we do not have the such option for changing the menu bar background on mobile, however you can paste this css snippet to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS field for that
.slicknav_menu,
.slicknav_btn {
    background: inherit;
}
.slicknav_nav {
    background: #161616;
}
You should change the slicknav_nav background to the color you want.

I hope that helps.

How do I get my homepage to look like the one in the demo? With 3 images with a link right under the menu?

I’m in the Kappa Styling under Appearance and am trying to figure out how to change the color of the menu when you are hoovering over a link. Also how do you change the color of red/orange of the page currently selected or when you hover over the link?

Also can we add a custom social link for Discord?

Hi,

1. In the Styling section, the theme has not enough options for changing menu color but that could be done easily by CSS, you should have a look into the Inspect Element tool, it would help you a lot.

As always, you can try this css snippet, paste it to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS field, you may change the color as detailed.

2. Discord will be added in the next version.

I hope that helps.

I want to have the header transparent and logo in the middle.

http://blog.retrovideogames.net/

Hi,

As always, you may try this css https://pastebin.com/bSHz2pQb

I hope it works.

hello i want to change background of blog black. I did not find an option for that. Currently in white, I would like to change it to black.

http://blog.retrovideogames.net/

Hi,

As you might know, Kappa has no dark version, this means we have no such option on the Theme Options panel, to change the white to black color, you should change all available elements in the main content to make them highlight for readable, example: post content, post title, widget title, form inputs … etc, You should take a look into the Inspect Element tool, it would help you a lot.

I just wrote a little css snippet that you can paste to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS field, it might not work as expected but it should make sense, you could extend the code if you wish but I’m afraid you would need to understand CSS knowledge.

I hope that helps.

Hello, is this theme html or fully supported by wordpress visual composer or templates?

Hello,

Kappa is a Gaming WordPress Theme, it does not use Visual Composer.

Thanks for your interest.

Hello, first of all, great theme. I am having a few problems:

-In the Kappa Aside Posts widgets, post categories are not working -In your preview, you can resize the website and the slider images stretch accordingly, in my website that is not happening (maybe I have the wrong size for the images?) -Is it possible to easily increase the size of the header logo? -Can i easily decrease the height of the header?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

1. As detailed on the widget panel, you must enter the category ID(s), can be separated by comma and make sure these categories are not empty, did you try that?

2. Could you share your website url? I will have a look into the slider.

3. 215×70px is recommended, you could increase the size as you wish but it must fit the header as designed.

4. Kappa does not have the such option, if you understand CSS knowledge, you can easily adjust the header, I suggest you to try the “Inspect and Edit Pages and Styles” tool, it would help you a lot, however as always, just share the url and let me know what exactly is the size you want to apply to the header, I would share you a little custom CSS for that.

Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

1-When i ad the category id’s it just shows a text saying “nothing found!” 2-www.cryptogamereviews.com 3-I think i have the correct size of the images 4-Thank you, i wanted the header 20% smaller and the header image 20% bigger

Hi,

1. That means you have nothing to show, as mentioned, make sure these categories are not empty.

2. Your slider works fine, I don’t see any issues there.

4. In order to adjust the header size, you may try this css snippet, just paste it to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS field
#header {
    height: 130px;
}
#header #logo{
    padding-top: 35px;
}
Keep in mind that you could always design your logo size as you wish but it must fit the header area as designed.

I hope that helps.

How can I Install demo

Hello,

In order to import demo content, you would need to install the “WordPress Importer” plugin.

  1. Navigate to Tools > Import
  2. Find WordPress
  3. Click “Install Now
  4. After installing the plugin, click “Run Importer” and browse to data.xml file that you can find in the “All files & documentation” package.
  5. Click “Upload file and import” button

I hope that helps, don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Hey there,

Need a little bit of help here. The inspect element tool has been really helpful for the rest of my CSS coding, but I can’t seem to crack this one no matter how much I took a stab at it.

http://www.hyperanium.com/review/doki-doki-literature-club-review/

The review box’s body text is combined with the post’s body text, I want to change it to the gray #888 color but it wouldn’t let me even after altering the post color.

It would just change all of the text into #888 instead of only the review box’s text.

The color that’s changing it all is the Entry Content on Theme Options, I set it to #333, but now it’s affecting other text instead of only the body text.

I’m stumped with this one, any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,

You can try this snippet instead:
.post-review p {
    color: #888!important;
}
I hope it works.

Thank you, it works just fine now!

A+ Customer Support

I’m glad that helped, feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks.

Good evening,

Before i buy this theme, i would like to know if every page you have in the demo is freezed in its structure ? Or is there an option to check/use page building stuff like visual composer. Or dont you recommend that ?

Best regards, Hannes Verbrugghe

Hi Hannes,

Kappa does not use WPbakery to build these pages, all available pages are static templates and could be configured in its own settings, depending on which template, let me know what exactly are the pages you asked for, I will share a right answer for that.

Thanks for your interest.

okay, so everything is static but i do see enough examples. what about the banner spot on the header ? Is dat editable or removable ?

Hi w3nky,

That area is a sidebar, called “Header”, the banner is an Image widget, it’s one of default widgets of WordPress, this means you could always remove it or replace any kind of ads as you wish.

Thanks for your interest.

Hey,

I’m wondering, is there a way to disable the automatic resizing of images from the theme?

I would rather use the original 1024×600, sized down version of my images than the cropped ones. Also, since it’s doing it automatically, my storage is getting more cramped as images are uploaded by the day.

I see that there are two sized of the cropped thumbnails 650×450 and 448×316

Any advice?

Cheers.

Hi,

Cropping images is a WordPress core feature, you might ask why, please read this thread Why WordPress automatic cropping all my images?

I haven’t tried disabling this feature yet, you might search on Google, I can see they have some tutorials for that, and you might be interested in this free plugin, it looks promise.

I hope that helps.

hi can i install the sample page to start from there??

can you tell me how to do it?

thanks

Hi Bleedinglogan,

I just imported demo content, setting up widgets, menu .. etc, your website looks the same now, I highly encourage you to read documentation in the purchase package, it would save you a lot, and don’t hesitate to let me know here if you have further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Hey there!

I’m fiddling with the content display options of the theme and I was wondering if it’s possible to make specific categories to show excerpts only and another category to show the full post on the homepage?

Let’s say I want to make the news category to show full posts on the homepage, and I want my review articles to show only excerpts on the home page. Is there a way to do that?

Cheers.

Hi,

Unfortunately we have no such feature for filtering multiple posts at the same time in specific categories.

However you can manually do that:

Step 1: Navigate to Appearance->Theme Options->Blog panel.

Step 2: Tick “Full Entry Content” checkbox.

Step 3: Save changes.

And now you can insert the more tag into the posts that you want to show the excerpt only, otherwise full content will be shown instead.

I hope that helps.

Hello there! Just bought the theme, and tried to test it locally.

But I found a crucial and critical flaw in it; especially the slider

If I upload (or crop) an image sized exactly 650X450 it displays fine on the slider

I think it also displays fine if the image has the same ratio (1,44:1) and is bigger than 650X450.

In all other scenarios though, which is the 99,99% of the images, it just resizes the image based on one size leaving ugly "gaps"

For example if i resize as described an image I see this which is really nice—>https://screenshots.firefox.com/CQebBwlwATJk5Pnr/localhost BUT in all other scenarios I see this—> https://screenshots.firefox.com/T93dJVtVvZw0STDX/localhost (ugly as hell)

This is a deal breaker really!

Can you fix this or assist me if i didn’t understand something right?

Hi,

I just know about Facebook instant articles from your question, haven’t tried it yet so I’m really not sure how it works, I will have a look into it soon, no guarantee but I will try my best to share you something.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi again. Any update? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

My apologies for late reply, unfortunately I have no idea for styling the review section, I’m not sure if that’s possible or no.

Let me know if you want to remove the section in the facebook instant article, I will share you a tutorial for that.

Thanks.

Hello! I would like to purchase your theme. One questions though; Can I easily change the all black theme with some other color (blue-ish for example)?

Hi you,

We do not have the such options but that’s easy, let me know if you purchased the theme and which color you would need to apply to, I would share a tutorial for that.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi again,

I wanted to ask a few questions.

- I’m trying to upload a header image with the recommended size of 213×68 pixels, but the images I uploaded were very small in comparison to the text header that’s generated from the site’s title. Suggestions?

- If I wanted to make my header be in the middle whilst ignoring my banner exampled on websites like CineWipe.com, how can I do that?

- Is there a way to make the captions in images smaller and align it to the left like Polygon and Kotaku? (grey text, aligned to the left, very small) so I can give credit to pictures without it being in the center and giving too much white space.

- Do I need the Jetpack plugin for the related posts widget to work? I tried using the widget without it just fine but wanted to ask if it’ll break if I don’t install Jetpack

Digging the theme so far, looking forward to future updates to make the experience even better.

Cheers.

Hi,

That size is fine, you might try this plugin for decreasing image size without losing quality, it’s recommended by community.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/

I hope it helps.

That’s nice to hear, by the way, you didn’t reply to my last question on how to disable the automatic italics for the image caption, is there a fix for that?

I forgot that question, you can try this css snippet
.wp-caption .wp-caption-text {
    font-style: normal;
}
You should learn the Inspect Element tool on browser such as Chrome/Firefox, it would save you a lot for that.

I hope that helps.

This author did a fantastic job. I would hire again anytime!

Thank you for your kind words, don’t hesitate to leave me a rating on your download page if you like Kappa :)

Cheers.
