Hey,

thank you for the wordpress theme Melina. Its beautiful!

I have a small little problem, maybe you can help me. Is there a way to make the gaps smaller between 2 images (not a gallery?) And when i open a blogpost, is there a way to make the title of the blogpost smaller?

Thank you for your help! Daria

Hi! Sorry, but questions related to the customization of the theme are not included in the technical support of the theme.

Hello!!! Happy new Year :) How Can I focus my logo? I have already made the changes in the php files but keeps showing ver pixelated…

Thank you so much

Hello! Thank You!

Try to open file functions.php and instead of lines 55-56 past:

        'height'      => 64,
        'width'       => 400,

Then load the logo again, with sizes larger than 64 * 200 pixels.

In addition, you can try using third-party plugins to load svg logos.

Hello! I have a problem with theme. How can i upload demo no. 3? Can you help me?

Hi! To set up homestyle 3: Read in the theme documentation paragraphs “Header and Featured Area > If You want to display featured content” and “Set Up Your Homepage > To set up magazine style homepage”.

Hi, I love your theme! Exactly what I was looking for…I am having some problems to set up demo “home style 2”. Could you kindly help me to do it? Thank you!

Hi! Thanks!

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Content Area Settings.

2. Select “Mixed: large and three-column grid (full-width)” content layout.

3. And select sidebar position – “Without sidebar”.

4. Click Publish button.

Thank you!

Hi, I have a problem with theme activation.

Enter the Melina theme purchase code in the theme activation section in the Theme Panel and it is not saved. When the page is updated it appears disabled.

It should be noted that I have installed the ThemeREX Addons plugin of a previous theme and it is within this section that the activation section is located. When the complement is deactivated, the option disappears, which is why I don’t know if the serial issue brings that activation option or not.

At the moment, I have deactivated the ThemeREX Addons plugin due to my ignorance. Yes I have active the complement of the Melina theme that has the core of the theme according to the description. But that does not activate any option or anything like that.

Hi!

I did not work with the specified plugin, so I can not say anything about its activation. My theme does not require activation, it is simply installed and configured as described in the documentation.

hi I bought his Melina theme I have to tell you that the wp instargram module is no longer in use so if you can tell me some alternative plugins.

then I would like to know how I should configure the display of the ho as your home example 3

Hi!

1) Unfortunately, the author of the plugin has stopped supporting it – https://github.com/scottsweb/wp-instagram-widget/issues/118 . I will try to find a suitable replacement for this plugin soon.

2) To set up homestyle 3: Read in the theme documentation paragraphs “Header and Featured Area > If You want to display featured content” and “Set Up Your Homepage > To set up magazine style homepage”.

Hi, I bought the Melina template from you. The website is available at kornikopedia.pl. I have a few questions

1. Is it possible to remove the featured image from the post header? 2. I can’t install Instagram widgets, I have the latest version of wordpress 3. How to add a newsletter mechanism to the page footer? 4. The post category does not appear in the post header next to the date 5. Can photos added to the post appear in the form of a lightbox?

sorry for my english, I use Google Translate

Hi!

1. You can delete line 25 in the file melina\template-parts\post\content.php

2. Unfortunately, the author of the plugin has stopped supporting it – https://github.com/scottsweb/wp-instagram-widget/issues/118 . I will try to find a suitable replacement for this plugin soon.

3. https://melina.ukathemes.com/documentation.html#mailchimp

4. Add several categories to your website and posts in them.

5. In the theme such possibility is not present. Try using third-party plugins for this purpose.

Good morning, I bought Melina Theme, I downloaded the download, I installed the theme on wordpress, but I don’t see the various options that the theme should offer. I would like to install the https://melina.ukathemes.com/demo-3/ version how can I do? please reply to me at tahir@tahirazam.com

From theme documentation:

To set up magazine style homepage:

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.

2. Select A static page for Your homepage displays.

3. Select any page in Homepage. If you have no any pages, add one.

4. Select any page for posts.

5. And select Magazine page for Your static page displays.

6. Then go to Appearance > Customize > Magazine Page Settings and select the categories from which entries will be displayed on the Magazine Page.

7. Click Publish button.

At what point do you have difficulties?

I got it, thank you so much. Can I change the layout of articles showing in each category? Right now, in some categories the articles feature images are way too big.

For all archive pages:

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Content Area Settings.

2. Select one of content layouts to display.

3. And select select sidebar position.

4. Click Publish button.

For single pages you can select page template when add/edit page.

The wp-instagram-widget by Scott Evans doens’t work anymore.

See: https://github.com/scottsweb/wp-instagram-widget/issues/118

Did you know an alternative?

I will try to find a suitable replacement for this plugin soon.

Hi!

I want to active the magazine style and was following the online documentation, but when I go to Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings, the homepage options didn’t appear on the options to select.

thanks

I¡ve been looking and didn’t appear to me, just a box to stick the post to the top, and a template selection (with no options of featured)

Have you installed the plugins that the theme offers when activated?

Melina Theme plugin. You can find it in inc\plugins\melina-theme.zip if dismiss the notice.

Hi, I saw someone asking for the description on how to get style 3 up and running. Could you also forward me the same instruction? Thank you!

Hi! To set up homestyle 3: Read in the theme documentation paragraphs “Header and Featured Area > If You want to display featured content” and “Set Up Your Homepage > To set up magazine style homepage”.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I did, it says to setup a page first, which I did, but documentation doesn’t say anything about the properties of the page itself. I couldn’t get it to run like in the demo.

I have also another question – is it possible to use an image as a featured one, but not to display it in the post? The featured pics sometimes are massive

Hi!

You can add empty page without any properties. Call her whatever you want.

Then:

1. Go to Appearance > Customize > Homepage Settings.

2. Select a static page for Your homepage displays.

3. Select your new page in Homepage.

4. Select any page for posts.

5. And select Magazine page for Your static page displays.

6. Then go to Appearance > Customize > Magazine Page Settings and select the categories from which entries will be displayed on the Magazine Page.

7. Click Publish button.

If something is not clear, write – I will help.

“I have also another question – is it possible to use an image as a featured one, but not to display it in the post? The featured pics sometimes are massive”

Don’t worry about it. The theme is designed so that the images required for a particular screen resolution and output location are loaded (theme uses srcset and sizes attributes for images).

So for post-card a smaller copy of the image will be displayed, and for single page a large copy will be displayed. When viewed from a mobile phone, for example, a smaller copy of the images will also be downloaded.

Good morning, I have a problem with the site’s logo.

I did create the logo and set it on the site, but you can see it too small, how can I make it look bigger? Is it possible to enlarge it?

I also have the icon to put on the site, they would be two black trolleys with the two blue TTs nearby, but the two black trolleys are not seen because the background is already dark. Would it be possible to make the background where the icon is positioned clear?

I also sent you an email where I would attach both the logo and the icon to make you understand better.

Sorry if dsturbo again, but I don’t know how to do it.

thanks a lot

I e-mailed you.

Hello, i am interested in buying the Melina theme, is the theme multilingual ready? wich multilingual plugin do you recomend.

Hello!

The theme has not been tested for compatibility with multilingual plugins.

Good morning, I bought Melina Theme, I downloaded the doawnload, I installed the theme on wordpress, but I don’t see the various options that the theme should offer. I would like to install the https://melina.ukathemes.com/demo-3/ version how can I do? please reply to me at twotrolley@gmail.com thanks a lot

I e-mailed you.

Hello! How do I set up the theme to look like Demo 5?

Please disregard my last comment. I was able to figure it out without breaking anything lol

Retried the Instagram plugin. It’s only working if I use a #tag but not with my @username :(

It works for me with @username. Try to contact plugin author.

Доброго дня.Для обновления версии, можно создать папку в нее скопировать новый релиз и блоге переключить на новую тему?

Нет. Нужно заменить папку с темой.

1. Hello! how can i change fonts? They do not support Cyrillic :-( 2. From the demo content are not imported photos, gives an error.

Нашёл ответ в комментариях!

Здравствуйте!

1. Да, в комментариях я уже расписывал, как сменить шрифты, если что не получится, пишите, помогу.

2. По поводу демо-контента: работаю над переездом на другой домен, поэтому картинки не скачиваются (старый уже отключил), в ближайшее время поправлю.

Всё понятно, а я думал поставил криво :-) Шрифты без проблем заменил по вашей инструкции, спасибо!

Hello, is there a way to have the home page list content to display all recent posts as oppose to single category?

Hello!

“Can you please answer this one as well: to have the home page list content to display all recent posts as oppose to single category.”

I have already answered this above. Maybe I misunderstood you, then describe the problem in more detail.

“And to show the pixelation I need to attached an image which i cannot do here…”

You can give me a link to Your website or upload a screenshot to a third-party service and give a link to it.

On the homepage there are sections and each one is a specific category, instead of it being limited to one specific category Id like it to show most recent posts – is this possible?

Pixelated logo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w390a7bzgml51am/Screen%20Shot%202019-06-19%20at%2011.25.15%20AM.png?dl=0

Also, this is what the style.css looks like, why are there so os many errors? I only made one change and it was font, thee errors were there before and are still there: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8smxyjixkj9r6ff/Screen%20Shot%202019-06-14%20at%202.17.04%20PM.png?dl=0

1. No.

2. Try to open file functions.php and instead of lines 55-56 past:

        'height'      => 64,
        'width'       => 400,

Then load the logo again, with sizes larger than 64 * 200 pixels.

3. Theme used CSS Grid Layout and CSS Variables, WordPress does not yet understand these technologies, so it shows errors, do not pay attention, everything is in order.

Hi Kulesh,

Nice theme.

A few quick suggestions:

1. Please make the Home Style variations an easy ‘1-Click install’ and exactly according to what is seen in the layouts displayed on the theme’s sales page on Themeforest.

Setting up one of the Home Style layouts requires way too much time and clicks in the WP Customizer / Content Area Settings (Where there is a list of layouts written out as: Classic layout, Three-Column full width grid, Mixed three-column, etc…).

With a 1-Click install, the user can easily & quickly set up the layout (Home Style 1, Home Style 2, Home Style 3, etc…), they choose as displayed on Themeforest.

2. Please consider creating additional layouts for the single post pages & theme anchor pages (About, Contact, etc…).

Thank you!

Hi! No. Perhaps there are some third-party plugins for this. Try searching.

Will do. Thanks, Vladimir.

Hi Vladimir,

Yes, I have found that most of the video post plugins were not adequate (Researched prior to sending you the message).

Not a problem.

I have another theme with the video post lightbox feature and will try to extract the code and hack together a solution.

Or, will simply duplicate the Melina home page layouts in Elementor as the video lightbox feature is a standard element. The video posts will be manual, but the result of a multi-media home page will be achieved.

Really like the clean layout of the Melina theme, so just making sure there was not a faster solution.

Thanks, Vladimir.

hi, is there any chance to make the sidebar apear while you are scrolling the blog?? We re going to sell ADS on this place.

Hi! Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Content Area Settings and select Enable Sticky Sidebar in the section Sticky Sidebar.
