93 comments found.
I have noticed, if the 1st comment is sent and waiting for the moderation, the post page is refreshing and comment is gone until it is approved.
When the 2nd comment is sent and waiting for the moderation, the user can see it instantly (if comment is not approved yet) but still it isn’t published obviously, which is good.
Why “1st comment case” behaves differently? User may be confused, when he/she post 1st comment, page is refreshing and there is no comment.
Hey Jarda322,
I can’t seem to replicate this on our theme demo. When comment moderation is enabled and a guest submits a comment it appears immediately within the comment section. If the post is revisited (without the comment moderation hash URL), then the comment will not be shown as it is pending approval.
This is the expected behaviour of WordPress and is not controlled by Hydra, the comment is only shown to the guest on first submission, and of course after approval. If you want pending comments to be shown to guests after first submission then you must enable comment cookies, this can be found within your WordPress settings under ‘Discussion’ -> ‘Show comments cookies opt-in checkbox’.
If you are having issues with comments not being displayed when first submitted then I suspect this may be an issue with a third-party plugin, or server configuration such as caching.
I would be happy to take a look at your publication to see if I can assist you further with this, in which case please create a ticket on our support site.
UX Idea:
Opening tag or category page or the 1st post of the entire blog where there’s only one or few posts on the left column, there is a message “No more new post, return to the newest ones”. (my translation).
It seems to present posts in the column in that way: current open post title and other older ones.
Even there’s a message to go back, and some posts may be presented under the post, some readers may think, there are no more posts. It may bring “Bounce Rate” to higher level.
Perhaps you could fill up the column with posts somehow?
Hey Jarda322,
The post list content for tags and categories is generated by WordPress and not influenced the theme. We generally try to avoid manipulating the default post list, as it is not really the place of the theme to do so – the content of the post list should stay consistent when switching between themes. Such functionality is more the scope of a third-party plugin, and I would recommend checking the WordPress plugin directory for a suitable plugin.
As for the post list on posts, when accessed directly a list of related posts is displayed (posts which share the same category and/or tags as the current post). We don’t have any plans to change this behavior currently, however this could be changed to a list of your latest posts with a theme customization if preferred.

Hey Jarda322,
Thanks for letting us know of this. We will get this corrected in the next theme update.
We can also provide a temporary CSS solution for the time being. Please open a ticket on our support site and we will be happy to assist with this.
Hi
This is some super cool theme …
See there is numerous content when I click navigation - Can I change the Word Navigation? - Can I add a Shoutcast Audio Player – theme is already running on ajax so its good for Non-stop Music? - Can I add a Fund Raising counter – using this plugin – https://themeforest.net/item/charitious-charity-wordpress-theme/21872754?s_rank=1 - Can I change the wording Category to something unique this also applies to Featured Posts – can I rename it to anything that I want like Trending? - I will need the Contact Us Page can I have Dedicated Pages? - Can I practically add anything? - What did you use for that part Visual Composer / Page Builder or Gutenberg – it doesn’t say much but just WordPress Customizer? - When I go to this page https://hydra-wp.ecko.me/category/lifestyle/ can I add other content on the right instead of just the list of articles under that category – say I want to write a brief intro description about the Lifestyle?
PLEASE SAY YES TO EVERYTHING AND I AM BUYING IT
Hey OchriO,
Thanks for your comments and interest in Hydra.
There are a number of questions here that we can better answer with more knowledge about your publication and objective. Please create a ticket on our support site under the ‘Presale Queries’ category and we will be happy to assist.
There is a bug.
I put code in code box in one line and it is displayed correctly in Gutenberg. However on the post page, there is one line and further code is hidden.
Hey Jarda322,
If the code content extends past the available container width then the container will become horizontally scroll-able. There is no word wrapping within the frontend code block, as is standard for code based content (similar to a text editor).
This behavior can be adjusted via CSS if desired. If you need assistance with this get in contact via our support site and we will be happy to assist.

How to make link to the element on the same page?
I did DIV ID #thelink and once clicked, the page is refreshed, instead going to the element ID.
Hey Jarda322,
Thanks for letting us know of this. We will get this corrected in the next theme update.

How to hide number of posts next to category name in widget?
It is under “li span.count” and display:none doesn’t work.
Hey Jarda322,

but you force me to register account there.I dont want that.
Feel free to get in contact via email in this case – just be sure to include your purchase code for verification.
Hi,
What folders structure to create in Child Theme to save language POT/MO files?
Hey Jarda322,
The child theme directory and file structure should match the parent theme. By default WordPress will use the language files in the parent theme, so you will need to make reference to these translations via your child themes ‘functions.php’. Information on how to achieve this is provided in the WordPress child theme documentation, however in this provided example you would replace the child themes text domain with the parent themes.
We’re also available on our support site if you need further assistance.
There is a bug. Ecko Navigation widget do not take links from the WP Menu Settings. It shows all pages.
I do not want to show all pages in the menu. WP default menu widget shows pages added to menu only.
Hey Jarda322,
This is not a bug, but instead WordPress using the default menu which shows all pages. You have likely created a menu but have not assigned it to the a theme display location – in the menu settings ensure you have checked ‘Primary Menu’. More information on this can be found within the ‘Menus & Navigation’ section of the included documentation.
If you require further assistance with this, or have any questions please create a ticket on our support site.
Google+ service will be discontinued next year. Perhaps you could add LinkedIn share buton instead G+ on post pages?
Hey Jarda322,
Thanks for your feedback. We’re aware of this, and have already made plans to replace the Google+ share functionality in the next theme update.
Ninja Forms’ form doesn’t display sometimes. The theme is not compatible with ConvertPlus plugin as CTA boxes not display.
There are no problems with other themes.
Microsoft Edge
Hey Jarda322,
If you are having an issue with a plugin it is likely because it does not support AJAX page loading, which is a feature in Hydra. I suggest contacting the plugin developer to ask if this is the case, or disabling this feature via the customizer under the ‘AJAX’ section.
If the issue persists please create a ticket on our support site so we can investigate and assist further.
Please add more Button’s sizes, different padding etc. For example, Call to Action button could have same CSS as the submit button in Mailchimp box.
Please add Call to Action box as the alternative for the current Subscription Bar
Hey Jarda322,
I’m assuming you are referring to the ‘Button’ Gutenberg block, if so this is a core block and it’s functionality is not controlled by the theme. If you need more flexibility with this then I would recommend using a third-party block that offers such functionality, using a custom CSS class, or making a feature suggestion to the WordPress team.
If you are instead referring to the ‘Button’ shortcode, we do already offer three varying sizes – however please note we are phasing our shortcodes out, and these are to be replaced with our custom blocks (or core blocks) ready for Gutenbergs release in WordPress 5.0. More information on this can on this can be found within the included update notes document.
Do you have plans to extend EckoPlugin with more Gutenberg blocks including Buttons?
We certainly plan on adding more blocks to our ‘Ecko Blocks’ plugin in the future. As for a ‘Button’ block, since this is available as a core Gutenberg block we want to avoid duplicating its functionality. With that being said, if when WordPress 5.0 is released there is useful functionality missing – such as button sizing – then we will likely add this as a block extension, much like we have with the ‘Code’ block and the addition of syntax highlighting.
I recommend this plugin to support by your theme: WordPress Infinite Scroll by Auto Load Next Post
Hey Jarda322,
Thanks for the suggestion – we will consider this for a future update.
And found another bug. You should remove “Noto Serif” font from CSS under li.span because it prevents display fonts properly.
It is caused by WP Gutenberg in Visual Editor. Crap
Hey Jarda322,
With the latest update to Hydra we added support for the upcoming Gutenberg editor, and moved our existing shortcodes into Gutenberg blocks – this was a significant task. As such we have released this integration before the launch of WordPress 5.0, much like Gutenberg itself, to gather feedback and resolve any bugs/issues before its core release.
I’m having trouble replicating the issue you have mentioned. Please create a new ticket on our support site describing the issue (with steps to reproduce it) and we will be sure to get this corrected in the next theme update.
It solved now. While copying text from one block to another, it copies CSS styles as well of Gutenberg. It is Wordpress bug I suppose.
Glad you have this resolved.
Your demo, article page has “Related Articles” and “Subscribe” widgets under post. How to setup this? I cannot see any settings under WP Customization.
Hey Jarda322,
The related articles block is generated automatically when there are other posts with shared categories and/or tags – if you have no related posts this section will be hidden. The subscription bar can be configured via the customizer under the ‘Subscription Bar’ section.
If you are still having difficulty with this, or have any further support queries please open a ticket on our support site.
Cannot translate “Share Article” via POT file
Hey Jarda322,
This functionality is provided by our ‘Ecko Plugin’, as such you can find the translation string within the plugins POT file. If you are still having difficulty with this, or have any further support queries please open a ticket on our support site.
Social post share should be a part of the Theme. Now I have problem to make customizations on plugin and not loosing it after update.
This is considered plugin territory by both WordPress and Envato standards – as such we have moved this into our plugin.
‘Social media “like”, “follow” and “share” buttons are plugin territory.’ – Source
You are welcome to make a customization to move this functionality into a child-theme if desired, thus keeping any changes that are made.
There is no “Share Article” in POT file of the Ecko Plugin and no any settings in WP Admin Panel.
As mentioned above, our post-sales support is provided on our support site. If you are still having an issue with this please create a ticket there and we will be happy to assist further.
I will not register on another platform. If you can’t help, I will return my order.
More than willing to help – we provide basic support via the comments, but our main post-sales support is provided our support site, this is stated in the support tab at the top of the item page. As this is an ongoing issue we have requested you use this support service.
It doesn’t matter as your theme isn’t ready for non-english sites, not able to fully translate it by POT in Child Theme or WP Admin.
I have installed Hydra on new blog without content. Will my images be sized properly automatically or need to change dimensions under Settings > Media?
What sizes should save, if I need to change?
Hey Jarda322,
Thanks for your purchase of Hydra.
Any image you upload (with the exception of the customizer) will be automatically resized in resolution to best accommodate its use throughout the theme, be that a small thumbnail or large cover image. We do include a recommend image size for the original source image in the theme documentation, which can be found under the ‘Post Options’ -> ‘Featured Image’ section.
If you have any further support questions please get in contact via our support site and we will be happy to assist.
