Hello,

Our website uses a Discord server as part of our social scene. Is it possible to somehow include this in with the rest of the social media icons? Thanks!

Hi Strudinox,

Unfortunately, at the moment, it’s unavailable but I will definitely add the Discord icon into the next update.

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

Thanks for your understanding

Hello! I try to add slider and banner (728×90), but i didn’t found, where i can add these things. Can you help me? :D

Hi ZotaHU,

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

1. To set up the featured slider, go 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.

2. To set up the head banner, go to Appearance > Widgets > Drag the “Image” widget into the “Header” widget area.

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

Thanks for your purchase.

Hello,

I was wondering if you would be able to help with an issue I am having with the Kappa theme and Google Search Console. I am receiving the following errors for the structered data.

Missing: author Missing: updated

I followed the following URL and attempted to remedy the situation but I am unable to locate the code. The article has me edit the the_author(); in the theme’s single.php file but I do not see any code for that. Do you have any recommendations that I can take to fix this issue?

Thank you for your time

Hi bountyman12,

I used get_the_author() function, not the_author(), the code can be found in kappa/inc/template-tags.php, at line 54, however I just made that change, you can override this file into kappa/inc/ folder, I will update it into a next update.

I hope it works and feels free to let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Hi phpface, Thank you for the prompt response. I have just replaced the file on my wordpress install. I am currently waiting for google to crawl my site again and see if it sees the author name. Thank you for help.

Hello… Nice, clear and easy theme! :) i’d like to know if is possible to show at the end of the article under title bar (with On DATE, By AUTHOR) the number of views of this article something like: On May 03, 2015 9:53 pm, by admin – 12 views

Hello Alexpita,

As you may see, we do not have the view count feature by default, however, that’s possible, you might be interested in these plugins https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/post+view

To add the post view text, you would need to modify the theme manually, I suppose that you use the Post Views Counter plugin, it supports [post-views] shortcode.

I hope that helps.

it works! thank you!!!!

I’m glad that helped.

Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks.

Hi, I just bought this theme and it is awesome. But i have one problem. In the styling menu i can’t find possibility to change font. Unfortunately Oswald font don’t support Polish special letters. Can u help me with that?

Nevermind – i was looking in the wrong section. Your theme is amazing and worth every penny. Thanks a lot!

Hi Arcikaka,

I’m glad you found that, don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

On rev 1.1.3 and see there is a new update available. Have entered the Purchase Code and Access Token in Theme Options/Update. However, do not see where the one-click theme is updated. On the Dashboard/Updates screen, says the theme is up-to-date but it is not, obviously. Please advice.

Here I am again finally getting to this. I just renewed support. I’ve done everything as you list above but still doesn’t work. No prompt to update the theme so I guess it’s just not connecting. Do you have a place I can submit a ticket? Also, how does the theme work with WordPress 5.x?

Ok, never mind. I installed the Envato app and looks like I can upgrade the theme via it. Still, can you tell me if the theme supports 5.x?

Hello ljezard,

I’m glad you found that, yes, Kappa works with WP5.x

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

Thanks for renewing support.

Sir,

I have recently purchased and downloaded your Kappa Gaming theme; however, I have not been able to get the install working yet. Is there a trick I’m missing? I’ve loaded custom themes before without problems.

I’ve tried using the Wordpress uploader and I’ve also uploaded via FTP client. The theme shows up in the Theme section, but the Live Preview doesn’t work and when I activate the theme it crashes my site to the point I have to re-install Wordpress altogether.

Great looking theme … just not sure what I’m missing on the installation. Should be pretty straight-forward I thought.

EDIT: I should add that the following is the error I get when I try to use the Live Preview or when I display the website after the theme is activated.

This page isn’t working www.theroostercoop.net is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

Other loaded themes work fine. I’m admittedly a little rusty with website administration, so I’m sure I’m just missing something basic.

Hi smithvela,

My apologies for any inconvenience, the error must not come since you have used PHP 5.6.x, really strange, anyway, I suggest you to override this file to kappa/inc/ folder using FTP tool, I just modified a little in the file.

Let me know if it works and don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

One again, thanks for your patience.

Looks like that worked sir, thank you!

I’m glad that helped.

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

Thanks.

Hey there, I was curious as to if there is a way to allow more room for the header image as the current size restrictions are too small for my liking. Thanks for your time.

Here is the header image I am currently trying to use – https://imgur.com/a/eP39fyZ

And the website – http://abadpassword.com/

Hi,

The recommended size is 213×68px, your logo is really large, keep in mind that you can always design your logo before uploading :)

Oh I apologize I was under the impression you had some CSS to support a larger than usual header. It’s completely fine though, I’ll find a solution, Thanks.

Hello again, I’m having a little bit of trouble changing the navigation background color. I successfully used inspect elements to change the CSS of the header background and the social icons background, but when I try the same thing with the nav background, the color stays default. Any idea on how to fix this problem?

Something else that you might be able to help me out with; is there any way of uploading the logo a little bit bigger than the default size that you recommend and have it stay centered on the header?

Thank you for the awesome theme! Appreciate your time helping us!

Hi,

Could you share the custom CSS you made for the menu and the website url? I will have a look into.

For centering logo, you can try this css
#logo {
    float: none;
    text-align: center;
}
I hope that helps.
This is the CSS. I took off the navigation stuff since it wasn’t working. https://pastebin.com/CMhLnyya http://insiderlobby.com/

Hi,

Just share the custom CSS you made for the menu, I will have a look into it.

For increasing the header, you can try this css
#header {
    height: 160px;
}
You could increase the height value as you wish.

I hope that helps.

Hey phpface. I am still having issues with the images in the featured image slider. If you check my page you can see the issues here:https://blog.opskins.com

I am not sure why the first half of the images are sized correctly then the other images are so large. I tried the custom CSS you suggested last time and it did not fix the problem.

Hi Injunfett,

The problem is WordPress didn’t crop these images as defined size (650×450px), so they aren’t appearing as expected.

Just for testing, I downloaded your images and uploaded them onto my WP in localhost by using Chrome browser, they were the same as yours, somehow, WP couldn’t crop them as expected, but they worked fine when I downloaded them by using Firefox, I guess something goes wrong with these images, I’m not sure why but I don’t think WP or the theme is causing the issue.

And another issue when I downloaded the images on Chrome and Opera, they were saved as .webp format, not .png, as I have known so far, the webp format works on Chrome only.

That’s so strange, you might try what I suggested on Firefox.

I hope that makes sense.

I’ve managed to change the colors of all the texts – but can’t seem to find the one to change the color of the prices on a widget i’m using for the front page. Trying to change it from black to something else. Example: https://imgur.com/B713d8m

Here you go
.widget_products .amount {
    color: #fff;
}
I hope it works.

That did it! Thanks! Every time I think I’m done changing the font colors, someone else manages to find more black text. Where would I go to change this text: https://i.imgur.com/tHtCkSk.png

Hi InsanityOW,

I’m glad that helped, you may try this css
.woocommerce .order_details{
    color: #fff!important;
}
Keep in mind that the theme has no dark version by default, this means you would need to rewrite css for all elements by manually, I wish but I’m not able to assist you with that, you should have a look into the Inspect Element tool, it would help you a lot, if you are interested in my paid service, just send me a message via this form, we will discuss more about the work, otherwise I’m afraid you would need to hire a freelancer for that.

Thanks.

Is there an easy way to do a mass change on the default red color around the website (search bar, categories, etc.)?

It definitely helped with the exception of the category color background. It’s still red despite me adding the css snippet. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Nevermind! I fixed it. Thank you for your help!

I’m glad you found that, let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks.

Hello there, I recently purchased the theme and despite thinking I had a back up I didn’t. Upon changing my website’s theme something went wrong, and now whenever I attempt to load up the website I only receive a small file to download and the website no longer shows up. Is there a way around this ?

Apologies, I thought it was an error with the theme but my hosting service managed to fix the issue. I do have 1 question at the moment now that everything is back to normal.

How would I get my website to look like the way it does in the preview?

Hi,

I highly encourage you to read the documentation for setting up the theme, it has all things you need.

To setup the front page, go to Settings > Reading and set “Your homepage displays” to “Latest Posts”, there you can also determine how many posts you want to show per page by changing the “Blog pages show at most” option.

And you would need to setup the menu, featured and a few widgets in the primary sidebar, you might use the Widget Importer & Exporter plugin to import these widgets, the demo widget file can be found in data folder in the purchase package, named widgets.wie, otherwise you can easily drag and drop these widgets into appropriate sidebars.

I hope that helps.

Where can I located the styling sheet for the woocommerce store? I’m trying to change the store text from black to white.

The styling looks strange, anyway I suggest you to write your changes to the Custom CSS field, so the changes won’t be lost when updating the theme.

You can try this css snippet to the Custom CSS field as suggested, you might change the color if you wish.
#tab-description p {
    color: #fff;
}
I hope it works.

That worked beautifully. I didn’t realize that the “Additional Information” tab and the “Review” tab also required a different code to change the color to white. I’m trying to figure that part out now.

Edit: Figured it out. Thanks!

I’m glad you found that, let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks.

Hi,

May i know how to change/modified the slider so that when i click on the image it will direct me to the post as well? By default it only will redirect to the post when we click on the feature info. Thanks in advance.

Hi ty_siong, that’s possible, you can open kappa/inc/widgets.php

Find https://pastebin.com/ZrHzvPia

Change to https://pastebin.com/jmp6gKLP

I will make this change in the next update.

Hope that helps.

It’s working. Thank you very much. And sorry taking a bit time to try and test.

You are welcome, don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks.

How can I center my title/header image, like the “Nindie Nexus” image here: http://www.nindienexus.net

Also, thank you so much for all of your support thus far. An easy recommendation from me for how responsive you’ve been!

The last update was great, too. Just an FYI: the Google social button has “Googe”, instead of “Google”.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can try this css to the Custom CSS field for centering logo:
#logo {
    float: none;
    text-align: center;
}
Thanks for your notice, surely the word will be fixed in the next update, it only appears in backend :)

Thanks.

Recently installed the theme to my test site before moving over to my live site. I have ran into a few issues.

The first is that the scaling for the featured images is not working properly and the banner image in the header is not aligning properly see image here: http://prntscr.com/j1ty59

I was also wondering how to increase make the post preview longer then 2 sentences and look more like the demo.

Hi Injunfett,

- At least the image size must be equal 650×450px or larger, however you can paste this css to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS for that
.feat-item img {
    width: 100%;
} 

- The banner is appearing fine as expected, I suggest you to try the large image, as you may see, my banner is 728×90px.

- Regarding the last question, I’m not sure what you meant, could you show me more details?

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m trying to get the blog post preview on the main page longer. I see in the options where you can change it between short description or full entry. I have it set on short description however its only 2 sentences long. I wanted to change it from looking like this http://prntscr.com/j2x5hs to being a longer description like you have on the preview here http://prntscr.com/j2x47q

We have two options for customizing post excerpt length:

1. If you check on the “Full entry content” checkbox on theme options panel, then you can use the more tag.

2. If you uncheck the “Full entry content” checkbox, then you can enter the short description to the “Excerpt” field, otherwise WP will automatically create the post excerpt based on full content in defined length, by default the excerpt length is set to return 55 words, in this case you can use this plugin to increase the length.

I hope that helps.

Another question. Is there a way to automatically resize the Featured Posts images? I know I can manually adjust the images, but sometimes the ratios don’t adjust the way I need them too. It would be nice to have them resize to a standard of some sort.

I’m trying to get the Co-Authors Plus plugin working with your theme. Can you give me an idea about how to change the marstheme_the_post_header function to work with it.

I’ve found this page https://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/incorporate-co-authors-plus-template-tags-into-your-theme/ where is suggests replacing the_author_posts_link function with coauthors_posts_links function but your theme doesn’t seem to call that function?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Omsad,

I just updated the theme for that, now you can download the newest version on your download page https://themeforest.net/downloads

Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your purchase.

Thank you, that worked fine.

You are welcome, let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks.

I don’t want the “Review Criteria” to display on my review. How do I keep that from displaying? Basically, I only want the “Review Score” to display; it would be redundant to have the “Review Score” and the “Review Criteria” both on there if they’re showing the same score.

Hello,

The review box displays all the review criteria, it was designed for this purpose :), keep in mind that you can enter the criteria by manually, you could always enter the same score but with different criteria name, do not enter the same score with the same name, it does not make sense, right?

Anyway if you want to hide entire criteria, you can paste this css to Theme Options > General > Custom CSS field:
.review-criteria {
    display: none;
}

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

Thanks.

That did the trick. Guess I’m a little rusty with my CSS haha. Thank you!

I’m glad that helped, regarding other question, did you ask about the Featured Posts slider? if so, please make sure that the uploaded images are 650×450px at least or larger, all images will be the same size as my live demo does.

I hope that helps.
