Hi Max!
Love the Norway theme so much. I would like to have my logo in the header, centered and in-line with the elements in the header. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hello, I want to get the theme but ı have a questions. Have I not seen the banner areas? I want to publish HTML ad slots.
Hello, NoyanK!
Theme indeed does not have any banner areas, but I can help you set them up depending on the plugin you are using

Hi. Just installed Norway into Wordpress. Do you have any tutorial videos on how to use the theme? For example, I’m trying to organize my home page into three posts (similar to template image shown on theme forest), with photos for each post.
Hello, TedPage2025!
Unfortunately, currently there are no videos, because WordPress 5.0 changed the default editor to Gutenberg, but it is very easy to add the featured post.
Edit post you want to feature and click the “Top Featured” just above the “Publish / Update” button.
In case you will need additional help feel free to contact me at support@bekento.space

Hello, everyone!
I’m Max Hetfeld, the developer of Bekento themes and i want to make an official announcement.
As you already know new version of WordPress with Gutenberg editor just went live. You probably have a lot of questions about how to add featured posts now as the checkbox disappeared and when Gutenberg block editor will be fully supported with all the available blocks.
I want to make clear that the work is on the way since October, and in a week or two there will be a major theme release with all the Gutenberg requirements, i just want to make sure everything works correctly without any issues on frontend and editor sides for the best experience.
Until then i recommend installing Classic Editor plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
Classic Editor is an official plugin by WordPress team, and will be maintained until at least 2022, so just in case you won’t like the new theme version you can easily stay on previous version and use the classic editor instead of Gutenberg.
You can also follow me on Twitter for latest updates https://twitter.com/maxhetfeld
Thank you for your patience and choosing Bekento themes and hope you will have a great holidays!

Hello Max, it seems like the homepage loads the complete text including pictures and hides them. Only the excerpts is displayed. Is it possible to disable this loading in the background. This only inflates the page and therefore loads rather slowly, because the pictures etc. are called but not displayed. Thanks JJ
Hello, JJ!
I recommend setting up a “more” tag in posts, also you can just remove the code that displays full content.
Contact me at support@bekento.space i will help you remove the hidden “full content” if you don’t want to use more tag.
Max
Hi Max, thanks. Yes, i will remove the full content. Please help Thanks
JJ, i’m still waiting for an email, send me access to WordPress admin panel to support@bekento.space
Hello. I have a question, how can I import the templates of the theme’s pages ? I have tried to import the demo-pages.xml file, but there are only 3 pages there with very little content there. When I bought the theme, I saw templates for more pages there and now I can’t find out how to install them.
Hello, enspiredev!
Do you see pages on Norway theme demo that are not imported from demo-pages.xml?
Did you try editing page and setting one of the template in “Page Attributes” on the right side just below Publish/Update button?
In case you need additional template you can ask me and i will help you modifying existing one

Hi, When I set “Profile” as a widget in the footer, it displays the background for that widget as almost white, which is on a black background with white text, so the text cannot be read. Is there a way to fix this so the background is transparent the same as the other widgets? Thanks
Hey, Danny2305!
You can add the custom CSS code to fix this issue in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
footer .mjr-profile {
background: #000;
}
Copy-paste this code and click “Publish”.
Max.
Thanks that’s perfect
sorry I forgot the site I am doing, so you have a reference the IP is 18.209.112.10
Thanks!
Good Morning, We’ve been running into the following issues with ipads, can you guide us on how to correct them?
1. The featured section (the Trio layout) is not appearing on iPads 2. The layout of the top navigation is scrunched together in portrait (think it’s something to do with Web Kit and ‘justify-content’ not playing well together 3. In landscape mode the navigation shows vertically
Any guidance would be helpful. These appear to be compatibility issues with iOS.
Thanks!
Hello!
Can you send me screenshots to support@bekento.space
Also it would be helpful to have iOS and iPad version and also the theme version you are currently using. This will help me fix the issue faster

Hello, very nice theme but I have a few issues.
1. In the upper part of the demo page there are social media icons (twitter, insta, snapchat…) on the left and a search icon on the right side of the screen. I can`t find where I can organize that part of the page. I have a search tab on the top left side which I would like to replace with the Instagram tab.
2. The gallery in the footer widget area is strange. On the Customizer its nice and centered with the right size of the images. However on the page the gallery is cramped to the left side and the images are very small, even if I select large format. The size of the pictures don`t change regardless of what size I choose in the widget footer menu. In general the Customizer page looks a bit different from the actual page. Example, footer text is centered in the Customizer but to the left on the page, the Customizer page has a drop down secondary main menu on the top right but the page doesn`t have that…
3. When I post on my home page, the top featured posts in the slideshow are duplicated below in the blog layout. How do I make it like on the demo where the top featured posts are just in the top slideshow and the rest in the blog layout (grid).
Otherwise great job and hope you can help with these issues.
Hello, CercekCharlie!
1. To add Instagram link to header you can copy-paste full url to Appearance > Customize > Social Networks > Instagram. Search icon will move to right side, and Instagram icon with a link will appear.
2. It’s probably the screen resolution, in customizer it shows a responsive version of website because of the left side menu, and without customizer it shows the default website. You can send me a link to your website at support@bekento.space i will help you fix the issue with gallery.
3. There is an option to hide all the featured posts from the home page blog layout. Just copy-paste this code into Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions (functions.php) in the end of the file, just before the line with ?>>
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'norway6_remove_posts_from_home_page' );
function norway6_remove_posts_from_home_page( $query ) {
if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set( 'meta_query', array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'norway6_top_featured_post_field',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
'value' => 'prior to WP 3.9 a value was needed due to bug #23268'
),
array(
'key' => 'norway6_top_featured_post_field',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => '1'
),
) );
}
}
I can also fix everything for you if you send access to your website at support@bekento.space

Hi Max, thanks for the help. I have resolved issues 1. and 3. Regarding the footer widget space the gallery and so on, I am still debating how to organize it, so I will contact you later when I know exactly what goes into the footer widget space.

Hello, I can’t download the plug in woo commerce. When I click on “install” the load fails and writes “update failure” to me.
Hello, Patriwine!
Please send me access to WordPress admin panel at support@bekento.space
I will help you on this
Max
My site is not online right now, I work on localhost… You can still access it?
My site is not online right now, I work on localhost… You can still access it?
Probably not, but i can help you step-by-step.
Is the Woocommerce plugin installed?
If not try installing it through following steps in admin panel: Plugins – Add New – Search – WooCommerce – Install Now – Activate.
If it’s installed but you can’t update it just remove it completely and install again though steps above.
Hi Max, I have found that in Google Search Console, in the structured data section, I’m getting some missing “entry-title” errors related to categories. Working perfect for posts. I have seen this today but I checked that the problem is there since the beginning. Do you think it could be related to the theme? Thank you!
Hello, iletrone!
Yes, it’s most likely the theme. I will fix this in next version that will be released soon and notify you.
Also i can fix it directly on your website – just send me access to your WordPress admin panel at support@bekento.space
Max
Hi Max, I already sent you my access credentials. Please let me know when you fix this. Thank you very much!
I’ve just checked the email and i could not find any message with credentials, can you send them again please?
Got your email!
Fixed this in theme, this could take a day or two for Google to re-index or you can test it in dev tools.
In case this won’t help you can contact me anytime
Hi there, on my sidebar, if I have a widget for Categories and do NOT tick “display as dropdown”, the resulting URLs for each category are correct.
However, when I tick “display as dropdown” which is what I do want to do, it adds (for example) ”?cat=895” to the end of the URL which results in a 404, instead of ”/category/*” which does work properly.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, assadrizvi!
It’s not the Norway theme issue, you can try clearing your cache or go to Settings > Permalinks and try to re-configure them.
Unfortunately i can’t answer any further questions because you seems to have not purchased the theme
Max
Hi Max, thanks for the response. I’ve definitely purchased the theme and can prove it with a receipt if required. I’ll look into your suggestion of cache and permalinks, thanks.
Hi, is there a way to hide Featured Posts from the main listing if they are already showing in the Trio setup of Featured Posts at the top of the homepage? Looks funny to have them there twice. Thanks.
Hello, assadrizvi!
Yes it’s possible, just copy-paste this into functions.php file:
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'norway6_remove_posts_from_home_page' );
function norway6_remove_posts_from_home_page( $query ) {
if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_home() ) {
$query->set( 'meta_query', array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'norway6_top_featured_post_field',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
'value' => 'prior to WP 3.9 a value was needed due to bug #23268'
),
array(
'key' => 'norway6_top_featured_post_field',
'compare' => '!=',
'value' => '1'
),
) );
}
}
Max
Perfect! Thanks!
Hi. We really liked the Norway theme and the clean design and I only have one question. Is there a way to show a few of the posts and then have a spot where we can show ads. and then keep going on with the posts on the front page?
Hey, Kenorway!
There are plugins for managing ads and the second way by adding extra code to theme. You can contact me at support@bekento.space and I will help you with this.
Max

Hi there,
I’m completely new to this and need extensive support. The tutorial video links are not working. When I upload my logo, it’s taking up the whole page. Shouldn’t it show next to the site name on the header?
Please help.
Hi Max, how can i change the size of the boxed layout? And it is poosible to integrate the slider and the footer in the boxed layout as well? thanks jj
Hey, JJ!
It’s actually hard-coded in many places including responsiveness, so boxed layout width can’t be changed.
Max
Hi, i was wondering were I can change the text for the comment section. For instance: I want to change “leave a reply” in to dutch. I can’t seem to find were I can’t edit this. Same question for the text “you might also like”.
Regards, Elise.
Hello, Elise!
You can translate everything in theme using plugin Loco Translate.
Here is a nice guide on how to use it: https://major-themes.com/norway.html#1.3
You can also contact me at support@bekento.space with access to WordPress admin panel and I will install this plugin and create a new translation template if you want

Good Afternoon,
My name is Brandon. I am truly fascinated with your WordPress theme as I am 99.9% convinced that this one is the one for me. However, there are a few critical questions that I must have answered before the deal is sealed.
Question 1 (with a little background info): I want to create a blog that is user dominate where most of the posts that accumulate on the blog are from the users themselves rather than me. Does your theme allow automatic posting of user submitted posts (images/video/written content) to the main areas of the site as if it were a post created by a admin? In essence, will users be able to make posts for the blog and those posts be posted in the main content areas of the blog (e.g., “Latest Posts”; “Popular Post” <—is there an algorithm that determines how a post becomes popular? e.i. the post with the most comments or something to that effect; posts that represent a specific category in the blog)?
Question 2: Will users be able to comment on other user’s posts? I know they will be able to post on mine, however will users be able to interact with each other as they post different content? (I understand the answer to question 2 is predicated on the answer to question 1)
Question 3 (Two part question): Will users have some type of log in capability or be able to keep track of their posts and comments? In other words, will they have an efficient way to display only their activity within the blog (simply to keep track of the comments to their posts on the blog)?
Forgive me for all the long-winded questions, and thank you very much for your help!
Best,
Brandon
Hello, Brandon!
1. The best way to do this is by installing BuddyPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/
Unfortunately, Norway theme was not tested with it, and i can’t recommend you using it because it probably won’t have proper styling.
Norway is a nice theme for personal blog or a magazine. If you want to create more social blog without any plugins, but with user allowed to post, you should do an additional modifications (extra coding) like login form widget and some sort of moderation of registered users and their content, however most of this could be done by WordPress itself.
2. Yes, WordPress allows you to comment on any post from any user, you can also set up comment pre-moderation or disable it.
3. There is a possibility for registered users to access the WordPress admin panel without administrative capabilities if they register as a contributor or an author. You can read more info about WordPress bulit-in roles here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
