pre sale question – is it possible to make a job portal site with this?

Hi etarno!

Yes, of course, but this will require having some extensive PHP, JS and CSS know how, as with any other theme :-)

Pre-Sale question: Can themes be displayed in a grid layout? Can video files, folders, compressed files, word documents, etc. be displayed as thumbnails in a grid layout?

Hi qqq121!

Yes, but this is more a matter of plugin functionality/territory – displaying files is not implemented in Ark or in any other theme.

Hi guys, I see a question about Custom Post Type support around 2 years ago but can’t find further explanation on how to make that works. Do you have any documentation on how to show Custom Post Type post instead of just Blog?

Oops, just found out this video tutorial from you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjjzw_YbIYI. Ehehehe.

Anyway, is there a way to make this Custom Post Type open a custom link when clicked? This CPT is a banner which consist only image and a custom URL for that banner.

Hi PdAnthony!

It seems, like your support expired. For continuing the support, please purchase the support pack or another license.

Hi! Wordfence suddenly marked out five files as malicious, all in different folders from freshface and the theme Ark. How do I know if they are ok or actually really malicious? Anyone else had this problem?

the files Filename: wp-content/plugins/fresh-framework/framework/developingTools.php Filename: wp-content/plugins/fresh-performance-cache/core/class.ffDependencySolver.php Filename: wp-content/plugins/fresh-performance-cache/core/class.ffScriptMinificator.php Filename: wp-content/plugins/ark-core/dummy/tnvivfzy.php Filename: wp-content/plugins/fresh-menu-item-limit-fix/info.php

Hi Re-freshSuperfood!

The tnvivfzy.php looks like a malicious file just from it’s strange filename, so I think your server has been compromised and is infected will malicious files like this. This usually happens on mass scale if you use some 3rd party plugins and do not update it for a very long time. Ask your hosting provider if they have a backup of your disk before the possible breach happened and try to rollback to it – that is usually the simplest solution. Then update all plugins to newer versions etc.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hello,

I have the latest version.. but when i want to edit headers / footers .. i have some errors in console, and i can’t make changes: http://take.ms/p5ykc

Hi bogdandumea!

@krue, the theme is not compatible with php 7.3 . I’ve wanted to buy it but when i’ve test it, it fail on deburg mode!

“Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”. Did you mean to use “continue 2”?”

Hi tstoicescu!

These warnings is something we are currently addressing. They are harmless and the theme fully works with PHP 7.3.

Hi, I’ve seen a warning on my site where your theme is installed:

“Updates and support will expire : 09 August 2019”

can I not download the current version of the theme at the end of this period? Because at the end of this 6 months, I can’t use the theme.

Hi farkwebtasarim!

Yes, you get all future Ark versions for free. Simply re-download newer files from ThemeForest > Downloads.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Hi, Can you please tell me where is a full instruction of the theme instead of the Ark academy? Thanks

Hi onestopenergy!

Yes, they are here and here. Mega menu video is here. Hope this helps.

Hi Your demo import system is very bad, I am trying to just import Trading Company demo and it look is on the main demo, I need now to download all main demo where I just need Trading Company, why you do not have each demo separate?

Hi elkahina!

The main demo was created in one bundle and it shares a lot of dependencies. So even though we would really love to split it and we have already spent 10+ hours trying to do it, it is not possible.

How problematic is this thing for you? Because you can import the demo as a whole and then delete all pages except the ones you would like to use.

deleting 200 pages that I do not need? that is time wasted. no other premium theme do that, and you can split the demos, it just you do not want to do, you deserve 1 star for this.

Hi elkahina!

Deleting unwanted pages is actually very simple, please visit Screen Options in the top right corner, input 999 into “How many pages to show” option, then click the top checkbox to select all 200 pages, then unselect those pages you wish to keep and then do a bulk delete.

Thanks and cheers! :)

Why isn’t there any date and time picker for the forms ?

Hi alrandw!

Date and time picker is not implemented yet, but you can add it by your own (by writing a custom JS, which will change a standard text input into the date picker)

I love how your theme has the feature with the header where the header blends in with the top image, and as you scroll down it becomes a sticky header. My question is do I need to use visual composer to do that? I prefer to use SiteOrigin Page Builder

but is it necessary?

it would take time to recreate everything

Hi b3ware_com!

Honestly, using a different PageBuilder than Fresh Builder will not bring you the best value here.

Hi, i need a hint, I want to have this property: In the blog (for example: Blog Default 1) I would like to see the following text: “There are currently no dates” (or comparable) if there are no entries. I think, this feature can be used with the if builder componet, isn’t it? Many thanks for your help. Greetings from germany Marco

Hi marcochi!

Can you create a test page for this for us and create a new ticket about it at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/

Hello, I purchased this theme quiet some time ago. I’ve been very pleased with the capabilities the theme has to offer. However, I’m having a big issue now, all the time I upload an image, it does not show the quality of the image. It shows a very degraded quality. I’m allowing every single option for the image to be the same quality. But no luck.

Hi xspitfirex!

Can you create a test page for this for us and create a new ticket about it at http://arktheme.com/open-ticket/

Thanks and cheers! :)

How do you suggest we improve our Page Speed with The Ark Theme? We’re already on a fast VPS host, turned on all your performance options and eliminated all unnecessary plugins, yet we’re still getting really bad page speed scores. In previous comments you’ve suggested we can get a perfect 100 page speed with The Ark theme, but it doesn’t look possible. Please help!

Hi rawathletics!

Page speed optimisation is a complex process, which requires a lot of time and know-how. If you do not have the know-how, then you won’t be able to achieve the 100 page speed score, but this is not relate to Ark theme rather to your skillset. You have 2 options here:

A.) there are plenty of great tutorials about speed optimisation

B.) You can hire us and we can assist you here. Since it takes us usually 8 – 12 hours to optimise the site, the usual price is around $600.

If you are interested, please send us your WP login and FTP login through the Hire Us form (http://arktheme.com/hire-us) and we can see what we can do and then we can discuss the offer.

We’ve already done the typical speed optimizations and we’re still not at a good page speed at all. It’s pretty upsetting because you’ve said multiple times in this forum that it’s “easy to get a 99 on Google Page Insights”, however it’s not looking like that’s the case. Can you provide some ways the public can make The Ark Theme a faster theme?

And if we hired you, you said it would take 8-12 hours. What would you be working on, and would the edits be lost when new Ark Theme updates come out?

Hi rawathletics!

I would love to assist you with some tips, but it would just be repeating things which could be found online. You can go through the google pagespeed hints and there are plenty of articles about each point.

When we run the pagespeed optimisation – we clone the site, optimise it and then provide you with a report what we have done and what could be done to have better speed. We then await for your authorisation.
