Good afternoon i would like to add some custom things (ex. custom icons or images to menu toolbar or on the right of groovi menu). Is it possible using widgets? OR which file is responsible for that part of code?
Hello Xavier
You can use Mega menu actions for that
I plan to buy your theme i want to know
https://www.astonmartin.com/en-us/models/new-vantageCan I make this same design with your own theme?
thanks in advance
Yes, something like that, with enough skills, you can do with a crane.
Any custom font options? I’m not seeing any.
Hello celticdancer,
Please specify how do you want to add the custom font? From third-party sites?
PS Please create a ticket here https://grooni.ticksy.com
To upload your own font to the site.
1. You will need .woff2 font files as they are supported by all modern browsers. You must use the FTP or hosting panel to upload font files to your site. For example, we did this in the “wp-content / uploads” directory of the site. They created a new directory “fonts” and already in it a new directory “courier-new”. In this way, we downloaded the woff2 font files / wp-content / uploads / fonts / courier-new /
You need to know the exact path and file names in order to specify the URL for downloading fonts during the description of CSS rules.
2.Now you need to add CSS styles with new fonts to load on the pages of your site. You can do this in the theme settings “Crane Theme -> Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS”. The example below uses the commercial CourierNewPS font. Note that in your case, the file names and the names of the fonts themselves must be changed.
@font-face {
font-family: 'Courier New';
src: local('Courier New Bold'), local('CourierNewPS-BoldMT'),
url('/wp-content/uploads/fonts/courier-new/CourierNewPS-BoldMT.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Courier New';
src: local('Courier New Bold Italic'), local('CourierNewPS-BoldItalicMT'),
url('/wp-content/uploads/fonts/courier-new/CourierNewPS-BoldItalicMT.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Courier New';
src: local('Courier New Italic'), local('CourierNewPS-ItalicMT'),
url('/wp-content/uploads/fonts/courier-new/CourierNewPS-ItalicMT.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Courier New';
src: local('Courier New'), local('CourierNewPSMT'),
url('/wp-content/uploads/fonts/courier-new/CourierNewPSMT.woff2') format('woff2');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Pay attention to the paths to woff2 files, they must match your file names and directories. After that, a new font will be loaded on the pages of the site.
3. Now, through the same CSS editor, you need to specify which elements of the page should be displayed to the browser with a new font. In the example below, we give an example of a CSS rule that will force the site to display content with a new font
body, div, p, h1, h2, h3 {
font-family: 'Courier New';
}
Thanks a million! 
Are you welcome 
good evening, is it possible to add masonry filter of categories to blog site? Best regards, G
Hello Xavier28,
Yes it’s possible, you can see that on our demo site https://crane.grooni.com/category/masonry-4/
Please go to Post > Categories > Add new category
In Edit category Select “Layout: Masonry”https://nimb.ws/Ri82xb
Also you can create the same through our BLOG widget for WPBakery https://nimb.ws/j0DlUi
Thank you. I need this kind of masonry filter like in portfolio, where user can choose one category, and view will refresh
https://crane.grooni.com/spaced-masonry/We don’t have such feature for Blog
Good morning, How can I translate the theme? Using loco translate plugin? Do you have a polish translation for this theme? Best regards G.
Yes you can use Loco Translate Plugin for creating Polish version. Unfortunately, we don’t have a Polish language version. I will be glad if you can share the translated version.
thank you for an answer. Next question… how can I turn on social share buttons in portfolio or news or pages? I think it’s turn on in theme settings, but it’s not appearing . Best regards, G,

If you can provide temporary admin access on your site we can try to figure it out.
Hi. I finished my site using this theme for some time now, but starting this week, some of my page elements (text and pictures) are not showing! If I go and edit the page, they are still there, but when I give it a look from an explorer like Chrome, Mozilla or my Android phone, those elements are not showing (even with hard refresh)! The most crazy thing is that my site was working perfectly for many weeks and I just noticed the “disappeared elements” few days ago! www.iguanaapps.com
Hello carvy007.
First of all, don’t worry because the good news is that these elements are saved in the editor. Please create a ticket here please provide temporary admin access on your site that we can try to figure it out.
UPD: We are released Crane 1.5.4.3 Please update, the problem should be fixed.
Hi, can i ask a question. Does the Elementor plugin have PRO features?
Hello Eragrafik, Crane theme only is compatible with Elementor. It has included WPBakery Page Builder in the package.
Hello,
Is it possible to translate the Portfolio slug ? I personnalized it thanks to your theme options option but as the website is being translated I would need to translate it, I have put WPML but it doesn’t appear in the strings. Can you help me on that ? Thanks a million
Clotilde
Hello Clotilde, yes it’s possible Please go to Crane Theme > Theme Options > Portfolio General Settings
Hello team,
Appreciate your theme and bundled plugins.
It would be nice if you supply a link to actual ChangeLog for both “Groovy Menu” plugin and “Grooni Theme Addons”. Groovy Menu’s Changelog on the Documentation site has not been updated since September. The ChangeLog for Grooni Theme Addons is nowhere found.
As a small company which implements your theme on customers’ sites, and then supports these sites, it is important for us to know what changes were made, to anticipate any compatibility issues.
Please publish the ChangeLogs, and provide the links via standard WordPress Updates interface.
Thank you.
PS. The contact form 7 on your site “https://grooni.com/contact/” returns error “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”. You might want to address that too, once you are on this topic.
Hello Mlevin,
1) Yes, you’re absolutely right, this usually happens because we can’t predict the approval time of the release version by the envato team.
2) Please publish the ChangeLogs, and provide the links via standard WordPress Updates interface.
We will add this opportunity for our plugins and themes, but at this time I can’t tell you the date of implementation.
3) Thanks for you report about this bug!
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Hello Kuffertfisk, you try to install the the theme bundle, but you need to install another zip file consist only theme files.
I have been trying to change the button color of the contact form 7 and for some reason it is always blue. I see it has a special style: [submit class:crane-cargo-btn-blue “SEND NOW”] but its always BLUE. I need to chance the color and I can’t. I’ve tried including several codes in custom CSS but nothing works. Can you please provide me with the right code so I can personalize the color of the submit button. THANKS

I seriously want to get this template but there’s a bug that I see on mobile and I would like to know if it will be fixed before I buy. When going on this page https://crane.grooni.com/home-7/ with a mobile phone or when resizing your browser, you’ll see that the 2 buttons overlap. Is it possible to fix that or should I go with a similar theme (http://demos.upperthemes.com/larch/site1/homepages/home-3/) where there is no such behaviour?
Hello mathieuobrien, Thanks for pointing out the bug! We fixed it in our promo now. This happened because the mobile view in the slider revolution was not properly set.
Wow! That was fast! I’m sending the request to my boss to buy this template. Thank you!
Just want to point out that the the bug is still present on mobile, in landscape mode and on the 3rd slide of the slideshow also but I’m sure you will fix this too.
Fixed now
Buttons still overlap in landscape orientation on mobile and when resizing browser window on PC.
We use a third-party plugin for sliders. And here there are some difficulties with the alignment of 2 buttons in one line. We remove buttons from mobile now
One more question: Is there a way to slightly increase the font size of the menu items on the home page (HOME PORTFOLIO SHOP PAGES ELEMENTS BLOG) with CSS/HTML or, even better, with the CMS options?
Is Groovy Menu an extra or does it come with the theme?
Groovy menu is included in the package sure
Last one: Are you compatible with Internet Explorer?
Not compatible
Hi! I had previously inquired regarding two limitations for the portfolio gallery and its thumbnails: is there yet a way to change the order of the navigation arrows as previously mentioned? Is there yet a way to toggle whether the portfolio gallery displays an “ALL” category automatically? I am seeking to resolve the issue detailed with the screenshot below (arrows go to the left for more “recent” images, regardless of asc/des order) and to eliminate the “ALL” option on the category toolbar. I DID notice an “Enable Custom Order” in Crane portfolio settings that I believe would allow me greater control over which thumbnails are displayed in what order, but I do not know if this is specifically able to address the arrows issue detailed below.
I have included my previous inquiries below for clarification. Please understand that I am not demanding these features be added (you have a great product as-is), but if it is now possible to enact these changes to the gallery, I have not yet found the controls to do so.
THE ARROWS: 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.THE “ALL” CATEGORY: Sorry, another question… Using portfolio categories, is there a way to exclude a specific thumbnail from appearing under the “ALL” category heading? OR, is there a way to remove “All” as an option and have the portfolio page, when clicked, automatically land on a specific category rather than display “ALL”? https://www.elisabethcraster.com/
As ever, thank you for your time, ECRASTER
Hello, I can achieve it with some custom code. Can you please create an appropriate ticket at https://grooni.ticksy.com/ ?
Thank you, I have just done so. As ever, thank you for your time and consideration of my questions.
hello presale. cna i linkm the portfolio section link to external homepage? i need a design öike the portfolio section on https://preview.themeforest.net/item/crane-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/20240744 under latest work only with external link function? its possible?
Hello ninanina, Unfortunately not. Out of the box it is not possible to do it. Only when using custom code.
Came here from Groovy menu. I need theme/s for future projects, but right now just need the menu functionality. Can I buy Crane and just use the menu on another site?
Hello Bobsya, Crane theme comes bundled with Groovy menu. So, if you buy the Crane you will also get a Groovy menu. But if you switch theme from Crane to another one Groovy menu (purchased as bundled) won’t work with that.If you will need only Groovy menu you should buy it separately due to license restrictions
I just purchased your theme and have some questions. Your registration system rejects every password I create even though all requirements met.
Hello Forestwoods, Please specify which registration system do you mean?
The one to submit a ticket. But my questions are pretty basic. I have some Wordpress theme experience. 1. Should I install and work from the Child theme? 2. None of the demos are exactly what I want. Should I install them anyway or work from scratch?
We use a third-party system for tickets (Ticksy.com) I just check it and create a test ticket from new customer, all work fine for me.
1) If you plan adding a custom code, yes you need to use a Child Theme otherwise it is not necessary.
2) As you wish, If you work from the scratch you can install all plugins in Theme options> Addons
I still can’t create an acceptable password to submit a ticket.
New question. Is there a way to compose a single page from multiple pages? For instance Home, Portfolio, About, Contact.
Hello Foreswoods, It’s really strange. I just tested it again, and is work fine for me, also other customers create their tickets in normal mode.
1) You can save your pages as templates https://nimb.ws/m9aB4T and then create a new page and adding your templates on new landing page.
2) You can switch edit mode to classic mode with a classic text editor. And copy the shortcodes from one’s pages and past to landing page.
Thanks. I’ll try that.
In Portfolio archive, how can I force full images to fit inside the frames without cropping?
Hello,
Navigate to Theme Options > Portfolio > Portfolio archive settings > Scroll down to settings “Image proportion” and “Basic image resolution” and set “Original” and “Full image” respectively https://nimb.ws/X3V2wi
It’s possible I may have tried this. I have implemented these settings without success. What I’m finding is that the theme is not responding to certain changes I’m making in portfolio archive settings. I’ve changed Filter to flush left. It remains centred. I tried changing the number of columns and the change was ignored. I have logged out and back in. I have quit and restarted the browser. I have switched browsers. I still get the same result.
Please create a ticket here https://grooni.ticksy.com, It would be nice if you can provide admin access on your site that we can investigate the issue
Done.
Hi, how do I create a sub menu like this? With the crane theme and groovy menu I can only seem to get this unattractive black sub menu with green letters. How do I get a smooth sub-menu with help of groovy menu?
Currently it is this: https://i.imgur.com/X2yteo2.png I need it to be like this, style wise: https://i.imgur.com/H0rd3BN.png
Hello,
Please navigate to Groovy single preset > General > Submenu. There you will find a bunch of settings to customize the submenu. The only thing that is missing in the settings according to the provided screenshot is the round border of the dropdown, but it can be easily achieved by custom CSS.
Here is a CSS snipped for round borders:
.gm-dropdown-menu {border-radius: 10px;}
The CSS can be added to Groovy single preset > General > Custom CSS.
If you have further questions, please contact us from Support portal at https://grooni.ticksy.com/
Hi, how do I disable the mobile menu? I have my own mobile menu plugin. I want to disable the groovy menu mobile icon.
Hello, You can deactivate the Groovy Menu plugin. If you want to use Groovy Menu only for desktop, and for mobile using another plugin together with Groovy Menu, then you need to create a ticket here https://grooni.ticksy.com (NB! We provide technical support only at the business days)
Hello dear developers, I have been using CRANE for past year all works fine. But today I find out on my page at the bottom of the page http://wvsignage.sk/ponuka-produktov/flexi-stojanovy-panel-interier/ below “Galeria realnych instalacii” the MASONRY MEDIA GRID pictures are gone, even I see them in visual builder admin part as defined and all is set correctly, they are not visible and showing, can u please help me to understand why is it? I have all my plugins up to date, also WB is latest also PHP 7.2. I found out for CHROME they are not visible, Firefox images are visible but as standard images with “read more” button.
Hello,
Please create a ticket at https://grooni.ticksy.com/ with URL to the site and provide us temporary access ( http://grooni.com/docs/crane/faq/how-to-create-admin-user-in-wordpress-for-grooni-support/ ) so we could investigate the issue.
Thank you.
I have run a malware check and this file gets notified: wp-content/themes/crane/assets/js/frontend/frontend-bundle.min.js
It has a lot of ugly code in it, could you tell me the purpose of this file? Because my site has been hacked and I’m looking for the cause
Hello,
It is a false positive warning. You can check it with VirusTotal. Here are the results https://nimb.ws/h8WLK0
We ship both regular and minified CSS/JS files and provide an option to load one of them https://nimb.ws/e4I5sO. That “ugly code” is a working JS code that has been concatenated and minified to save bytes. It is loaded when you check the “Minify theme JavaScript files” and is the same as regular but minified.
Sorry I did not mean to offend you with the words ugly. It’s just code I do not recognise because it is minified. I have tested on GTMetrix and that particular file takes around a half a second to load which on the Waterfall board is quite a lot.
Hello,
We will add an option to toggle “ALL” visibility with next release.
