Hello, I have really enjoyed this theme at my portfolio website www.elisabethcraster.com and I am eager to keep using it. However, an issue was brought to my attention by an art director (potential client for me) and I am eager to see if I can resolve it while still using Crane.

https://www.elisabethcraster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/crane-issue.jpg On the homepage, I have my thumbnails arranged with the most recent items first. However, if someone clicks on one of these images, the navigation arrows “flip” the order of the images. So here, if I click on the second thumbnail, I’d expect to have to click on the LEFT arrow in order to go check out the art shown in the first thumbnail. Instead, I have to click to the right. I hope the screenshots illustrate my point of confusion. I have tried changing the ascending/descending toggle, but this has only changed the thumbnail order on the home screen, and done nothing to change the arrows. And, additionally, I do want to keep the thumbnails on the home screen with the most recent first.

In addition, I wonder if it’s possible to change the style for one category without changing the others—not sure if I could link a new page in somehow. What I currently have is one portfolio serving as the home page, with links to distinct categories as the navigation. But, I want to be able to click on “Book Covers” on the homepage and have the thumbnails at a different size than the current 300×300px. I know I could probably achieve this by converting the entire portfolio to a masonry grid, BUT I do rather like the look of the classic, fixed square thumbnails and am only seeking to change the look under one category. Is there a way to do this via linking a separate portfolio into the category navigation?

Thank you for your time, ECraster

Hello,

I fully agree that there must be a way to change the order of the navigation arrows. We will add this feature in the next release.

Concerning an additional question. The only way to change the size of thumbnails is through “Masonry image size” and “Masonry” layout. You could keep the current page as is, make a copy of the page and try to play around with the layout to see how it would look with Masonry layout.

Thanks for the quick reply, looking forward to that update in the next release.

I am working with the hipster homepage layout and the logo and nav items are spaced oddly. I tried to find the setting but am not having good luck. Any ideas? https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmxtc06h17o08r1/Screen%20Shot%202019-04-18%20at%2010.52.29%20AM.png?dl=0

Hello,

According to the screenshot you have an odd number of menu items, this could be the issue, which can be resolved by custom CSS.

Hey there. I have a problem after updating to 1.4.6 . I use the child theme, and after the update i am trying to change logo, but after uploading and saving the changes in Groovy menu dashboard, the logo doesn’ exist, neither on the site or the dashboard. Instead on the global settings -> logo tab, i get an empty space. I tried that with various of images, but it seems that the problem is not the image. Can you please provide a solution?

Hello your page for support doesn’t work, I am trying to contact you via your page but also not answers, i have a problem with add the demo content to my website, please can you give a solution to get in contact with you?

Hello Samuel,

Where are you trying to contact us? You can’t create a ticket here? https://grooni.ticksy.com/

my groovy menu is fully updated, but I can’t access the global settings and it is telling me to update! I have deactivated and re-activated etc.

any update? I still see unable to access global settings

please help me. I’ve got people wrecking me right now.

Please check the message in the mail

Good morning, I have a very big problem with Groovy menus. I found out that for some menus (for example transparent with toolbar) saving button is not working so I cannot change settings at all. Moreover if I set a default menu in the Groovy dashboard and set “default” as menu in page options it is not assigning that default menu. Do you think it is a theme issue? Are you releasing an update for Wordpress 5.1? Any other suggestions? Thank you.

Hello,

The theme is already compatible with WordPress 5.1.

To find out the cause of the issue and solve it please create a ticket in our support portal https://grooni.ticksy.com/ with URL to the site and provide us admin access ( http://grooni.com/docs/crane/faq/how-to-create-admin-user-in-wordpress-for-grooni-support/ ) so we can investigate the issue.

Thank you.

Hello there, I don’t want the menus to change every page. I would like to show the only menu in the portfolio category or portfolio page that I chose briefly on every page .. How can I do this ..?

Hello,

To set one menu for the whole site please navigate to Groovy menu > Dashboard > Global settings > Taxonomies tab and from there:

1) Set the Default preset for all content

2) Set Override for particular taxonomies to “Off” https://nimb.ws/wd2DkR

Does this template(s) create “mobile device friendly” automatically when a site is built?

Hello eclecticvapors,

Our theme is automatically friendly for mobile devices. These parts is already mobile ready: sections of the blog, menu, our widgets, and all demo pages.

But important for you to understand that all pages are creating in the page builder. You need to compose mobile view directly at WPBakery page builder.

Where is the license for Wpbakery page builder? I want to activate premium options.

Your documentation says this: All the premium plugins that come bundled with Crane theme are under the Extended License. That means:

You don’t need to buy a license for them

Yet my visual composer builder does not have an activated license so I can not make use of wpbakery builder templates…

http://grooni.com/docs/crane/faq/do-i-need-to-license-premium-plugins-that-come-bundled-with-theme/

That’s right, all premium plugins bundled in theme package under the Extended license. WPBakery has the “extended license” too and you don’t need to enter the serial key.

But please Note: You will be able to use all the features of the plugins except the premium features. For the premium features, you will have to buy a separate direct license.

You can’t use WPBakery templates. The same situation with Slider Revolution sliders library and with addons

Big problem; your theme does not recognize newly added templates. I added a new .php file to the theme folder, both the child theme and the normal. On both they do not show down on new page under page attributes…..

I’ve refreshed cache several times

I fixed it; I needed to put this at the start of the file: /* Template Name: name */

I want to create a ’’Customer login’’ button on my header menu on the right top where it normally has cart/search icons. How can I create that?

Because when I create a custom css rule and add that css tag to a menu item it just fills the entire menu item section, it doesn’t make a small nice button.

Fixed it nevermind!

How do I change the menu/header for the whole website? When im in groovy settings and I choose another menu preset and click ’’set as default’’, nothing happens. My website header stays the same. Where is the master setting to choose the menu preset I want??

You have a nice theme, but I don’t think the way you arranged setting menus is user friendly. It worked for now, but it’s very hard for me to test what menu I like best. I have to constantly go through different pages and click and save and change the global settings again. It’s frustrating. Would’ve been better if it was able to be set in customizer.

You are right, I will give you a detailed answer about the customizer on Monday

Great. Thanks. Would you have an answer already on my other question above regarding the revolution theme or a different solution to get the effect I want for my slider?

What would you advice me to do to get a slider on the homepage with an effect like this? https://imgur.com/a/jWNW2CQ

Because elementor visual builder can do that but I don’t think elementor will work with your theme right? Do you have any other option for me to get a design like in the picture on the homepage slider?

If by slider you mean the slider plugins such as Slider Revolution ot Layer Slider (both come bundled with the theme) it should be achieved by creating a necsessary amount of slides with the custom background each (like specified in your screenshot)

Please correct me if I get it wrong.

How do I change the speed of hoverstyle 4 hover color change? https://imgur.com/a/7IUzBDj

Because when I hover over the menu button with the text, the color changes slowly to the hover color text. I need it to be faster.

Hello,

This requires to add a few lines of CSS code to the menu preset. Please navigate to single preset settings > General > Custom CSS and paste the following CSS: .gm-main-menu-wrapper .gm-navbar-nav > .gm-menu-item > a .gm-menu-item__txt { transition: none; } https://nimb.ws/MDPGxQ

P.S. It is more preferable to create a ticket on our Support Portal for such kind of questions.

Can you check why this css code does not work on Chrome? and reply back here with your findings?

Hello,

Please provide the URL of the page so I could check it.

How do I change the background color of the featured image in menu? It’s black. I want it white.

Hello, EntrepreneurN

Can you attach a screenshot to make it clearer?

PS Could you please create tickets directly in the support service https://grooni.ticksy.com

Yes, but can you reply to my other questions as well?

Sorry for the delay with answers, support team works only business days from Monday to Friday.

How do I disable hover on a ihover box?? I don’t want the effect, but I like the size of the square box.

The ihover box is created to be used with hover effects. You should choose another element for example Content box https://nimb.ws/QHvDXP . The Content box element has many useful options, such as background, padding/margin, shadow, height etc. and also can contain any type of content inside https://nimb.ws/aVTPNw

No frontend editor?? are you kidding me?

The reason why the frontend editor disabled is that we faced rendering issues in Frontend Editor mode while using with custom widgets and some 3rd party plugins that add functionality such as Ultimate Addons and Massie Addons which come bundled with the theme. We will turn it back with the next update.
