Hello, I am interesting to buy Sober and I would like to know, if there is some kind of lightbox (some minimalistic lightbox), which is possible to activate in single portfolio page? And Is there possibilities of image gallery with lightbox also? Thank you

Hello,

Regarding your question. At this moment, this theme doesn’t support image lightbox and lightbox gallery for portfolio page. But it is a good idea, we will try to add this to the theme in future updates.

Kind regards

Ok, thanks for the fast reply! I think your theme is really unique!... Responsivity, design.. etc… About functionality I cant say, because I did not try it yet… And I hope, that if I buy theme, that I will get what I can see in your demos (I know that is possible to use demo importer)... Because I am really tired to buy some theme which on first view looks good, but than I have to go to lot of compromises and try to make some design improvements in CSS… That is my experience from another themes… High rated themes… Maybe time changed…. I remember that 7 years ago was really dificult to find nice looking theme for design presentation and ecommerce too… And still is it dificult… Shopify has very nice templates… But this is another chapter… Now I think, that missing lightbox in your theme and gallery is the reason why I did not buy your theme two years ago… I needed something very stilish and minimalistic too, for two new fashion brands… Those brands needed to sell their garments, but they also needed to show their lookbooks and campaigns… Two or tree lookbooks per a year means 40 — 70 images… So that is the reason why is lightbox and gallery very important for niche of fashion design!! And I think your template is made mainly for fashion designers and fashion brands, which has generally very selected taste for beauty of minimalism… If possible… Please update your template with some kind of lightbox (style of conteporary woocommerce lightbox is great)... Or Salient template has great lightbox… And Masonry galleries also… It is really shame to install to your template some kind of “crazy” pretty photo lightbox, or something diferent like this antidesign s..t :)... It is even impossible :)... Have a nice day!

Thank you very much for your sharing. It helps us a lot to improve our design as well as theme’s functionalities. We will try to improve the theme in future updates. At this moment, our developer is working on the Sober v3. It will contain new design and functionalities. It takes some weeks to finish them. But we added your ideas to our update schedule. They will be added to the theme for sure. At this moment, you can use a plugin to add lightbox to WordPress gallery.

Kind regards

Hello. Have recently switched to the Sober theme! Unfortunately now my check-out is not working anymore. I am unable to fill in the billing address number as the field has just disappeared. The text is there, but there is no place to fill it in. Could you help me out?

UPDATE: Problem solved. It was the combination with a PlugIn. :)

Thank you for your feedback. It’s great to know you solve this problem. You can always open a ticket on the support site if you need help. Our supporters will help you check and solve problems on your site.

Hello – may I know if newest theme version works with WooCommerce 3.6.1 ?

Hello,

We are working on a new version to fix issues with WooCommerce 3.6. We’re going to release a quick update for this theme today.

Kind regards

Hello – after Woo-Update today, your Theme is in conflict with Woocommerce and WPML, because the Main for any Languages (with the exception of main-site) has strong problems with the Menu etc.)

Hello,

It seems to be a problem of plugin WooCommerce Multilingual or another plugin. Please deactivate plugins one by one to find out the broken plugin.

Kind regards

Thanks for Feedback – The Plugin was all the time deactivate. Sounds – it´s not a primary plugin-problem. But you are also right – the new WPML bring some errors also. But this looks like a theme-problem

Hi,

We faced this problem before. It is a problem from a plugin. We can’t remember exactly the plugin name. You should try to deactivate plugins one by one to find it. Please open a ticket on the support site. Our supporters will help you check it.

Kind regards

Hi, I purchased the theme but there is a new version of Woocommerce and now six of the overwritted templates are out of date. Do you planning to update Sober soon? Thank you

Hello,

Yes, our developer is working on it. We will release a quick update soon to make the theme fully compatible with WooCommerce 3.6.

Kind regards

Super! Thank you! :)

Hello,

Pre-sale question here.

Is there a “compare product” option available on product hover? Thank you!

Hello,

Regarding your question. Unfortunately, it is not available at this moment. You can use a plugin to add the compare function to the theme, but you can’t have the compare button on product hover.

Kind regards

on February 18, 2019 at 3:03am when i am asking for new year update. UIX replied me: We are developing a new big update for Sober with new homepages, shop pages, product pages. We are trying to complete it and release it soon.

When will we get it? :( may be all updates included on Konte :D

Hello,

Yes, we are working on it. In this update, we will add 3 new homepages, 1 shop page layout for categories and 3 product pages. Besides, we will add more pages like stores, about, coming soon, etc…

Because of large number of new pages, it will take more time to finish this update. We will try to finish and release it asap.

Kind regards

Hey uixThemes! You build a very nice Theme! Have you a hint for me, can I create a 100% width mega menu absolutly from left to right? the content should be place in the content area, but first thing is to know, how can i set a 100% mega menu. Thank you and have a good day!

Hello,

Regarding your question. At this moment, this theme doesn’t support full-width mega menu. You can try our new theme – Konte. This new theme does support full-width mega menu.

​its possible to add youtube video on product picture gallery? if not, then can you please consider add this function in next update :)

We’re sorry it is impossible. But it is a great idea. We will try to add it to this theme in the next update.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Presale questions:

For this demo:

http://demo.uix.store/sober/home-page-4/?header_layout=v4&utm_source=switcher

  1. Is it possible to use social icons instead of the cart icon on the right? Is it possible to use social icons for any of the headers instead of the cart?
  2. Is it possible to have the header sticky at all times while scrolling down?
  3. I can design this theme using visual composer right?
  4. I would like to use this theme as a simple site with no ecommerce. Possible?

We’re sorry but at this moment, there is no option for it. You can only use a child theme to customize the header template to replace it.

How would I do it with a child theme?

Is there any other way to show the social icons on the header?

You just need to copy the header template file to your child theme and edit it directly.

At this moment there is no easier way to do it.

Hi there, I have some pre-sales questions:

1. Any future plans on Ajaxifying the shop sidebar filters: categories/price filter/variable-terms (colour, size etc.)?

2. On shop/category pages, when I click the Add to Cart icon, I receive a message that the item has been added to the cart. That’s good UX. But what about when on a Quick Shop page? The added to cart message is hidden because the user is inside an overlay/iframe now. Can the message appear inside the quick shop overlay? – I guess I’m asking if this feature can be added on your end as a theme update?

3. The Hot, Sales, New filters that are Ajaxified, would it be possible for me to change one of them to Branded? Like if I wanted to change Hot to Branded instead.

4. Your theme comes with a child theme I presume? I like to make customizations and I find each theme can be built slightly differently, it’s always best when the theme comes with a child theme packaged with it.

Thanks, love this theme it’s beautiful and I definitely plan on purchasing it. :) Just want some clarification because I am very particular about how I want the shopping experience to be.

Hi I noticed a few more things I just wanted to check with you.

3. On mobile, when you click on a product image, instead of the Quick Shop modal the link takes you right to the product page. Correct? Just making sure that’s what’s supposed to happen.

4. I will want to remove the 6, 5 and 4 column grid icons, and instead just set all shop and category pages to be 4 columns. Besides using display: none; on the grid icons, is there a theme setting to turn them off AND to set the grid to 4 column for all shop and category pages?

5. On this demo page on MOBILE: http://demo.uix.store/sober/shop/?layout_shop=single-left&shop_columns=4 ...when you click/tap Load More until all the products have loaded, the last product is Zip Sneakers. If you click on that product you’re taken to that product page. Now if you tap the BACK button in the browser, you will be back on page 6 of the shop page, but the only product visible will be Zip Sneakers. None of the previously loaded products will be visible. You’re using the Load More button as a fancy way to paginate through the shop pages, but because you offer no normal pagination, once on the last page you’re kind of stuck there. You can’t go back to page 5 or 4 etc. Try doing exactly what I did and you’ll see the major UX issue that arises. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

So sorry one last thing, is it possible for the cart icon on MOBILE to display the number of products added to the cart? It does on non-mobile but on mobile the number isn’t visible. Is this on purpose or a bug?

Hi,

1. We’re sorry but this theme doesn’t support the search icon on the mobile header. With the search bar in the mobile menu pop-out, you can select to search for posts, products or everything.

You can try our new theme – Konte. In this theme, we support ajax search on the mobile header. Actually, you can build the mobile header as you wish.

https://themeforest.net/item/konte-minimal-modern-woocommerce-wordpress-theme/23162599

2. We’re sorry it is impossible. These labels are fixed and you can’t edit it.

3. Yes, the quick-view popup will be disabled on mobile automatically. It is not easy to display the quick-view on small screens.

4. There is no other way to hide the columns selector. You can use CSS to hide it only at this moment.

And yes, you can select the default column to 4 columns. Without the columns selector, products will be displayed in 4 columns on all shop and category pages.

5. We know it is a UX issue, but we have to accept it. This is not an easy issue. Most of the websites have to accept it without a complete solution, even with large companies’ websites. If you check the facebook website on mobile (the web version, not the app), you will see the same issue.

https://m.facebook.com/

We see some websites have a solution for this issue, but none of them solves this issue completely. The website will use many RAM of the device (mobiles) and it will cause the browser to be lag and maybe force quit the browser.

6. Yes, it is possible. You just need to enable the counter badge for cart icon in the theme settings panel.

Kind regards

I really like the theme. But one important thing which is missing is that the cart widget doesn’t show number of products added in the mobile view. Atleast it should highlight the cart such that the visitor understands that product has been added to cart

Hi,

By default, the cart counter badge is disabled on mobile. But you can always enable it in the theme options panel.

Kind regards

Hello I am interested in buying this template. There is some option to see the products in 2 columns in the mobile phone. Thank you

Hi,

By default, this theme displays products in 2 columns on mobile. But with small screens like iPhone 4, iPhone 5, etc… it will display products in one column only. You can use custom CSS to change it. Or our supporters will help you.

Kind regards

getting hundreds of errors in Wp_debug.log

Hi, Is there a way to customize registration area when clicked on Account button? Now, only there is only email area and register button. I want to add at least Name and password box and also Google Captcha because there are a lot of spam registration. How can I edit it?

Hello,

WooCommerce has options for them in WooCommerce > Settings > Account & Privacy. You just need to uncheck the option for automatically generating password.

Please check this documentation for more information:

Hi i just wanted to findout why my theme isnt showing all the options in the appearance>customize field. The only options i have are Menus,woocommerce,widgets and additional css, nothing else and how do i fix it

Hello,

Perhaps you didn’t install plugin Kirki Toolkit. It is one of required plugins of the theme. Please make sure you installed all required plugins to help the theme work properly.

Thank you

Hi, I’m interested in buying this theme. However I notice some issue with your Next and Previous arrows.

You see, clicking on either the Next or Previous arrow doesn’t bring me to the product in the same category. Instead it brings me to the next product in alphabetical order which is under a total different category.

For eg: when I click on the Next arrow on this page: http://demo.uix.store/sober/product/azure-tote/, which is under the “Bag” category, it brings me to http://demo.uix.store/sober/product/black-glasses/, which is under the “Accessories” category.

Is it possible to make it such that clicking the Next or Previous arrow will bring me to a product under the same category?

We plan to release the new update in next few weeks. Our developers are working one some new features and they will finish them soon.

Kind regards

Hi,

May I know if there’s any update with regard to the problem I mentioned above?

Hello,

We are working on a new major update for this theme, with new homepages, shop pages, product pages, etc. In this new version, we will add a new option to control the product navigation too. Unfortunately, you need to wait for this update for some weeks.

Kind regards

Hello, I purchased a template from themeforest that one of the main features I liked was that it slided up showing a new photo when going to different parts of the menu. Now, I don`t know why it does not appear that way in my page. Is it because its a plug in? or do I have to buy a specific licence for that sort of appearance

Hello.

Firstly, thanks for that beautiful theme. I enjoy using Sober.

What is my question is;

In my site I’m using header v6 but having issues about centering the logo. On mobile it works fine and makes the logo centered even in vertical or horizantal position on any phones. But on desktops, the option is just for left align. I tried to find a solution over css but for the logo, align (middle-center) doesnt work. Using logo margin is not suitable for me because on different devices and resolutions, the position of the logo will be always different. Than I tried something else in .header-v6 .sitebranding. I changed the value float:left to float:center and It worked. But this time, all the icons on the right on desktops and the shopping cart icon on mobiles moved one line below the header. So, not a useful solution :) I’ll be glad if you can help via code or something for centering the logo in v6.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. Please open a ticket on the support site. Our supporter will help you check your website and provide the correct CSS code to align the logo in center vertically.
