Hi! I’m trying to create a “Specifications”-box where our writers can put information on the product that they are testing or the event that they have been to. If you look here: http://www.lacar.com/2018-buick-enclave-avenir/ and scroll down to the Specifications-box on the left side you’ll see what I mean. This box is made using the snippet and then just adding the text. However, it would be great if the Specifications-box had a border around it and the text was not bold. Is there a way where I can easily make a new code-snippet that our writers can add to their postings when they want something like this? (I don’t want to change the attributes, we like those for other parts of the article as you can see a little higher up in the quoted article). Many thanks! J-F
Hello, J-F!
You can style it in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and copy-paste this example code there:
.pull-left-alt, .pull-right-alt {
width: 50%;
line-height: 120%;
padding: 30px;
background: #f7f7f7; /* background color */
font-size: 20px; /* font size in pixels */
border: 1px solid #ccc; /* border style */
}
.pull-right-alt {
float: right;
margin: 0 0 25px 30px;
text-align: right;
}
.pull-left-alt {
float: left;
margin: 0 30px 25px 0;
text-align: left;
}
Don’t forget to click “Publish”. You can modify it for your needs. And then use in post like this:
<span class="pull-right-alt">This pull quote will be on the right side of the post.</span>
I hope this helps

Hey, ive an inssue with my dropdown menu, ive set the max width of each item to allow longer text (was 200px before) – also the menu is not visible on smartphones since I first bought this theme. is there a way you can fix that for me? i would even pay you for that. cheers
Hey, Dominik!
I’m really sorry for this issue with menu, I will try to fix this ASAP.
Please contact me at support@bekento.space but i would like to have more details on this, screenshot would be great.
Max
i believe i have purchased the wrong theme for me… is there a money back guarantee? Thank you
Hello, StefanBerger!
.
Yes, the Envato policy allows money back in case the item was not downloaded. More info here: https://themeforest.net/page/customer_refund_policy You can request refund here and i will approve it: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new In case item was downloaded by mistake on Envato side you can contact them using Help center: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us You should clearly describe to them what happened and tell them that this was not your mistake as a customer.
.
Max
My apologies, correct refund request link: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new
i did so and they gave me a: Refund request ID 30faac04-70d2-411f-b928-5c5c3076c698. they say it is up to you to give o deny the refund.
StefanBerger, In case it was your mistake and item was not downloaded i always approve refund requests, i totally understand that this happens and resolve refund requests as soon as i receive them.
However, I can’t handle issues on marketplace side that resulted in mistaken purchase. In case it was not your fault of mistaken purchase, you should continue talking to Encato customer service and notify them more clearly that the process of purchasing or checkout was not clear enough, or there were any other issue.
Max
StefanBerger, I can offer you free theme installation and configuration, security and SEO consilting.
I will not change you on advanced theme customization based on your needs.
And also complimentary 50% discount on new theme that will be approved on the marketplace.
Max
thank you for your support… i would love to get a refund and start over, but also i have some time pressure so i will accept your offer. in this case decided to work with the Norway theme and i would be satisfied with your help to set the whole thing up as far as you can… i am having some trouble working with the theme. i found a page www.ministryofhemp.com which is pretty much how i want to create my website. can you help me to set up the structure and from there i go as fast as i can by myself. Stefan
actually pretty much how it is on your demo site… as i said i have troubles with getting the 3 pictures with text inside to the top of the page
talking about the “top featured layout” – trio
Yes, absolutely.
To add the top featured edit the post and mark the “Top Featured” checkbox.
Also you can contact me at support@bekento.space with access to your website and i will make it look like the website you mentioned with the theme demo data.
Max
Hey, I would love to write a review. you have been so helpful along the way, so where can I do that. thank you so much. great support
Hi is there a way to remove the author bio and the tags from below every post?
Hello, alattehope!
Yes, it’s possible! Go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and copy-paste the code below:
body.page .content article .post-author-bio, body.single .content article .post-author-bio { display: none; }
body.page .content article .post-tags, body.single .content article .post-tags { display: none; }
First one will remove author bio below the post, second one – tags.

Hi Max, sorry another question. I would like to try to use a video as the featured image, but if i use the url from youtube, at the article only the image get darker and nothing happend…
Seems to be an issue with the link you are using. Do you use the full url of video?
The url of video should be used like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftlvreFtA2Asorry, my fault, now it works. thanks max
You’re welcome, JJ! 
Hi Max, i think about a domain splitting. it is possible to create a startpage with different articles from subdomains? Thanks, JJ
Hello, JJ!
I hope I understood you correctly. There is a possibility to add subdomains.
You should take a look at this article about multisite WordPress installation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network Max
Hi Max, thanks for your quick response
Yes, i know that is possible to add subdomains, My idea is, to build a website with three subdomains. And if you call the startsite, there is a page, viewing articles from the three subdomains.
It’s an interesting and tricky question, but i have not encountered this anywhere yet.
Just think about other sites as third-party without any access and the easiest way to do this is to parse RSS feed from every subdomain via WordPress function fetch_feed https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed
If you want it to be quicker you can add every feed for several hours to the transient using function https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/set_transient and then retrieve values from database by using https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_transient Hope this helpsI have just installed the theme a couple of days and as I try a few test posts I noticed that the images I’m uploading aren’t really uploading, they’re giving me an ‘HTTP ERROR’, can you point me in how to solve this issue?
Hello, haum!
This seems like a server/hosting issue not related to the theme, but I will help you on this.
You can send me access to WordPress at support@bekento.space
I will try to confirm if it’s a hosting or a theme issue.
Max
Hi, i was wondering if there is a way to show a new post (like on the frontpage) on a different page, because i want to make a different page for every category.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, elisedejong!
The pages are actually for displaying static content like “About the author, contact information etc” and not so good for displaying new posts 
If you want to make category as a link in main navigation go to Appearance > Menu and move the “Category” to menu.
Next edit the category and add the “Description” and add the content you wished to add to the category page.
If you want to be able to see featured posts in category – you should go to Appearance > Editor > Archives (archive.php) and paste the following code in the line 2 after get_header() on line 1:
<?php
// Top Slideshow
$top_slideshow = '';
$top_slideshow = query_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'post_type' => array('post', 'page'),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'norway6_top_featured_post_field',
'value' => '1'
)
)
));
if(have_posts()) {
// Featured posts list
echo '<div class="top-featured-posts-list">';
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
norway6_the_small_post($post, 'norway6_main', 1, 1);
}
echo '</div>';
// Featured posts container filled depending on type of Featured
echo '<div class="top-featured-posts-container" />';
}
wp_reset_query();
?>
Hope this helps and in case this is not exactly what you wanted to achieve just contact me at support@bekento.space

Hi,
Great theme!
I just wanted to know if there’s a way to create a “top header” secondary navigation menu. The only two “build-in” options that I saw are the Main Navigation Menu and the Responsive Menu.
I wanted to have a secondary menu that would show up above the header/logo area. Any ideas on how I could customize something like that?
Thanks!
Hello, aromeu!
Sorry for the delay, tried to figure out how to make this happen 
Three steps to make this happen.
First register the new menu – go to Appearance > Editor > And edit main.php file in folder “parts” on line 32 replace registration of nav menus with following:
register_nav_menus(
array(
'main-nav' => 'Main Navigation',
'top-nav' => 'Top Navigation',
'responsive-nav' => 'Responsive Navigation'
)
);
After this add the code of new menu to header.php file Appearance > Editor > Theme Header (header.php) on line 57 before “header” tag:
<?php if(has_nav_menu('top-nav')) { ?>
<nav class='top-nav'>
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location'=>'top-nav')); ?>
</nav>
<?php } ?>
Next go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste the styles:
.top-nav {
background: #fafafa; /* Background of menu */
font-size: 13px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
padding: 10px;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
> div {
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-start;
width: 100%;
max-width: 1120px;
}
ul {
display: flex;
}
ul, li {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
li {
margin: 0 25px 0 0;
}
}
This should make a basic top navigation menu above the header
In case you’ll have trouble with this just contact me at support@bekento.space

Hi Bekento,
Thank you for your work, We have bougth your norway theme, and are satisfied.
We have just a pb already saw in comments with Kookjai user 5 months ago. We don’t want to see again featured posts in the list under the featured posts.
Can you help us?
Hey, chouabka!
To exclude the posts just copy-paste this code to the end of functions.php file https://hastebin.com/raw/ulemulisah
You can do this in Appearance > Edit > Theme Functions (functions.php).
Also keep in mind that In future i can’t provide additional support when you send a comment from a user that did not purchase our theme 
Max
ok. that work. Thank you for your help and ok to use the good account to ask support 
You’re welcome, chouabka!
Hope everything is working as expected.
In case you need anything feel free to contact me anytime 
Hello, I would like to buy your very aesthetic and beatiful theme. However, what I cannot see is a link feature to soundcloud which is important for our storytelling. Did I just not find it or does the theme not provide a link to soundcloud. Many thanks you for your reply!
Hello, thasos!
You can embed Soundcloud to post and pages, but there is no option to add a link to soundcloud profile. I can add social network link for you (it will be free), just send me a message at support@bekento.space after you purchase the theme 
Max
Hello Max, thank you for your prompt reply and your support! I will now buy your template and come back to you to ask you to add the soundcloud link. Many thanks again! Best wishes, Michael
Great, Michael!
Waiting for your email 
You are great!!
Hello Max, I have nearly finished the setup of the wordpress site. You can see it under ostmodern.today. I will naturally give it also a 5 star rating (only because envato does not offer 6 or 7 stars). What do you need from me in order to implement the soundcloud icon besides the other social icons into the header area?
2 ways of doing this:
1. Go to Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions (functions.php) and replace the line 187 with this:
$norway6['social'] = array('facebook', 'twitter', 'instagram', 'flickr', 'telegram', 'vimeo', 'soundcloud', 'medium', 'etsy', 'spotify', 'snapchat-ghost', 'youtube-play', 'github', 'steam', 'twitch', 'reddit', '500px', 'tumblr', 'pinterest', 'behance', 'dribbble', 'xing', 'linkedin', 'yelp', 'tripadvisor', 'qq', 'weibo');
2. You send me access to WordPress admin panel and i will make a fix myself
Also the new version of Norway theme will feature the soundcloud icon (It’s not quite ready with all new features for release, but coming soon!). 
Max
Hello Max, wunderbar! I will get instantly to work. If I cannot do it, I will come back to your offer tomorrow to assist me from the admin panel. Many thanks again! Michael
Great! You can contact me anytime, Michael! 
I have to say it again, it is great to work with you.
Hello Max, done! Your support is amazing. And your template is exactly what I wanted and needed. I will write a super recommendation tomorrow. Have a good night! Best wishes, Michael
Thank you, Michael!
Support Question, not sure if it’s something I did (probably) or something that magically happened: When you click on a story on our homepage (www.lacar.com) it goes to the correct URL for that story but there is nothing there…(?) What did I do!?
Interestingly, this problem resolved itself when I “saved changes” in the Permalinks Settings… I do however, have another question/suggestion.. I would like to have a little info-box about the author of the article show at the bottom of said article… However, it is almost never the same person writing the article as it is posting it.. (I run a plugin called “show hide author” so that the person who posts the articles doesn’t show up everywhere on the site)...
Hello, lacarcom!
Glad that everything is okay now with stories, it usually happens when there’s some server error.
There is an infobox in article, you should just add author description in profile and it will be added automacitally after each article.
You can see this infobox in the end of stories on Norway demo.

My photos aren’t fitting the featured image to display on my website. How can this be fixed so my photos arent cut off? Also, why are changes to the theme that I customize and publish not being reflected on my website? (The header font isn’t changing for me.) Alattehope.com
Hello, alattehope!
I recommend using featured image with dimension 16:9 or 16:10 with a size over 1920×1080 pixels or higher.
Some fonts don’t have the same font weight as others, you can check first here: https://fonts.google.com/ and test the one you want.
Most of them have the weight 400 (Regular)
Hope this helps 
Max
So on each post change the featured image dimensions? And the font I chose isn’t showing up at all when I publish the theme. Headers and post headers look exactly the same but other features change for my post like the colors… why is the font not changing?
Featured image. Each post can have any featured image, just make sure it’s horizontal for the best experience. This means width of image should be more than height.
Fonts. This means fonts don’t have font weight you’ve selected. Go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Logo Font Weight > set it to “Regular 400”. Do the same for the post headers.
Here you can see the font weight that each font have: https://fonts.google.com/
Hey Bekento, one more question for you.
Is it possible to eliminate the featured image showing across the header for Woocommerce product pages? Ideally, I’d just like it to immediately show the smaller product images without the zoomed in header. Thanks!
Hello, ianswallow!
Yes, you can use the custom code for header – It will keep the changes i’ve made for you the other day and also remove WooCommerce featured from header. Go to Appearance – Editor. Find the file header.php. The content of updated header.php file is here:
https://hastebin.com/raw/enociqamuhMax
Thanks, Max – really appreciate the help! We ended up keeping the header as designed (looks much better the way it was designed to be used – go figure). Would it be possible to have the .php code to just eliminate the WooCommerce featured while leaving the rest of the header normal (without the changes you previously sent us). Thanks again. Ian
Hey, Ian!
If i understood you correctly i should remove all code that affects main nav and leave just woocommerce fix, here it is: https://hastebin.com/raw/guhagokebo
(Appearance – Editor – header.php)
Hi
I just have just purchased Norway but I didn’t get the Installable WordPress file only option while downloading and there isn’t any file like that in the theme file. Does this mean I need to upload the theme via FTP?
Kind regards
Cathinka
Hey, Cathinka!
You probably downloaded all files including child theme and documentation. If you unzip it you will see the “norway6.zip” file inside, this is the installable theme.
Max
Done! Thanks for your amazingly quick respons.
Hello, Can you help with a few small tweaks to the menu/header section? We’d like to change the menu font (size, color, font style) as well as add a background color to the menu.
Then, with regards to the header photo, is it possible to start the image above the menu?
One last item: how do we change the color of links within post? Thanks so much!
Hello, ianswallow!
Two steps to start the header photo above menu and style it properly. It is designed that menu is not full-width and is a part of header, so the styling it could be tricky.
FIrst – you should move menu from header outside. Go to Appearance – Editor. Find the file header.php. The content of updated header.php file is here: https://hastebin.com/raw/rovagitafe you can just copy-paste everything inside and replace it. Or create a new header.php manually file if you’re using child theme.
Second – to add styles to menu you can do the following – go to Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS and copy-paste the example code:
/* Main navigation styles */
.main-nav {
background: #f00;
font-size: 20px;
font-style: italic;
padding: 10px 30px;
}
/* Color for links in menu */
.main-nav > div > ul > li > a {
color: #fff !important;
}
/* centering menu */
.main-nav ul {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
/* prettifying list items */
.main-nav ul, .main-nav li {
list-style: none;
margin: 0 10px;
}
/* adding bottom padding to main header */
header.header {
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
The final style is a links color inside posts – Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS:
/* Links in posts color */
.post-content a {
color: #f00;
}
This should help 
Max
Thanks, so helpful!
Hi guys, Can you tell me why the instagram widget in the footer of my site is not updated with the latest photos? I updated the plugin it doesn’t work. Thank you
Hello, Roberto!
The cache of the Instagram Widget is cleared every hour, if you want to update it manually you can install this plugin:
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/artiss-transient-cleaner/It will remove all cached transient values
Max
Hey Max! Where can i find the social icons as an image to place them whereever i want on my website? or use them in a newsletter? thanks!
Hello, Dominik!
Norway theme uses Font Awesome 4.7 icons
You can find the codes for social networks icons here: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/
For example, Twitter icon: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/twitter/
<i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true" />
Hey! I wanna add a simple checkbox to the comment section. Which .php file is used for that? It’s not the comments.php in the norway5 Main Folder. And I dont want to use another plugin.
Would be awesome. Thank you
Hello, Dominik!
You can edit functions.php file and add the code there:
add_filter( 'comment_form_field_comment', 'my_comment_form_field_comment' );
function my_comment_form_field_comment( $comment_field ) {
return $comment_field.'<label for="gdpr-privacy"><input type="checkbox" name="privacy" value="privacy-key" class="gdpr-privacy" id="gdpr-privacy" aria-req="true"> I accept new GDPR privacy policy</label>';
}
I also recommend installing norway version 6 it has many improvements
You don’t need to remove previous version, they can be both installed.
Max
Hey thanks Max. I now have a checkbox. But It doesnt do anything. I dont have to check it to write a comment? How Can I put the Label underneath the “email field” ? 
Here is a code that will make a Required checkbox under “email” field:
add_filter('comment_form_defaults', 'change_comment_form_defaults');
function change_comment_form_defaults( $default ) {
$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
$default['fields'][ 'email'] .= '<label for="gdpr-privacy"><input type="checkbox" name="privacy" value="privacy-key" class="gdpr-privacy" id="gdpr-privacy" aria-req="true" required> I accept new GDPR privacy policy</label>';
return $default;
}
Max
Hey! Know my support has ended but there is a serious problem maybe regarding a few people using this theme. Theres a new law in europe (DSGVO) – we cant use google Fonts anymore. Whats the quickest and easiert way to remove the google fonts loading stuff in the background from these theme?
Thank you in advance!
Hello, Dominik!
Easiest way to do this is to choose standard fonts. The theme does not use any Google Fonts if they are not selected. Go to Appearance – Customize – Header – Logo Font and select one of the first 9 fonts – they are bundled into every operating system and won’t load any content from Google.
Repeat this for Appearance – Customize – Content – Heading Font and Body Font.
That’s it, you can check in network debugger or source code – the Google Fonts are not loading.
Max
Hey Max.
Thank you. I wanna keep the Font Roboto Condensed, will try to load it straight from the webspace without using the google api anymore. Where can I find the Connection to google in the code? Its not in the funktions.php.
Theres no way to use another font because my logo (which I alredy purchased) uses the same font Roboto Condensed.
Thank you
Yes, you can replace /parts/styles.php the line 113:
$norway6_css .= '<link class="norway6-g-fonts" href="%URL%" rel="stylesheet" />';
Replace URL with the link to your CSS file.
By the way, if you renew the support i can do this for you
