Hi, I updated to latest WP 5.6 and Photo Wall stoped working, will there be an update soon?

Hi there,

we are investigating on these 5.6 issues, we have no ETA yet, due also to the holidays, we suggest to rollback to WordPress 5.5 until the new fix will be released. Sorry about that.

Regards,

Simone

Hi there, can you please share with us a link to your photowall page? from a quick local test we haven’t found issues with the Photowall functionality. If you can send us an email to evolvesnc@gmail.com.

Talk to you soon,

Simone

hi! did you plan an upgrade for support wordpress 5.6 update and jquery evolution ?

Hi there,

yes, but we haven’t found a solution yet, sorry about that. We suggest to keep the WordPress 5.5 right now.

Simone

Hi, Can i add videos to albums/collections?

Hi there,

nope, videos are supported only in the content not in the gallery functionality.

Is there a way to edit the layout of the attachment page? (example: https://www.isobelhamilton.com/jarofdreams/ ) I don’t want all of the info at the bottom (author, image size etc.) as it’s not relevant. I’d love to be able to include the image description tag instead, but just removing what is currently there would be great. Thanks!

Hi there,

you can edit the attachment template overriding in the child theme or hide some informations using CSS with the display: none property.

Unfortunately there aren’t options in the theme for the attachment page.

Simone

Hi,

Should we expect sometime in the future to have a page for our images where every image is aligned?

For reference - https://www.chrisburkard.com/Stills/Adventure/

Thank you.

Hi there,

thanks for the suggestion, we haven’t planned yet a new layout for the albums but we will further investigate on this suggestion.

Best,

Simone

Hello guys, not sure if I can ask here, but I would appreciate few answer before I buy..

1) Do you have any multilanguage web reference? (2 languages are OK) How is the multilanguage content tranlation solved? Any specific plugin?

2) Is it VIDEO, VIMEO or YT embedd ready? In blog posts, in albums, and on ANY single page? Fullwidth page video? Homepage? Any limitations?

3) Font families, formats? How about +ěščřžýýá Czech language set?

4) Like this theme as your demo, but would love to try fit to my needs as a schysofrenic photo&video documentarist :) Do you have any trial options or refund program maybe?

Thanx in advance… Honza

Hi there,

1) Yes, the theme support Polylang 2) Yes, inside the post/page content only 3) We support subsets in our typography option, so if you choose a font with Czech support should work. You also have the ability to load your custom font if you are not able to find a proper font on Google Fonts platform. 4) we have no trial option available since is not possible on ThemeForest. Concerning refund you can read more about it here -> https://themeforest.net/page/customer_refund_policy

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Simone

Hi, I have installed the theme in localhost on my pc. I’m trying to install the “dark” version of the “demo content” but the procedure doesn’t seem to be successful. It’s been 8 minutes and it’s not over yet. It seems to be in a loop. (The “system status” is ok)

How do you add Instagram to gallery Share Box?

Hi there,

unfortunately this is not possible.

Regards,

Simone

hey Evolve!

glad I found Clayton! – it brings together things I have only seen distributed across different portfolio-themes. I very much like the integration of some form to present an overview over large collections of photos with some very shiny aesthetics (esp. the scattered albums / collections)! also what seems to work very well is the display of different forms of galleries / albums in a very photocentric way. ... and of course you seem to get the captions things quite right – ... which a lot of ‘photo-themes’ completely miss! so, all pretty amazing. and then it still has speed! :-)

– one question, though. it might seem picky, but has some meaning to me: with your collection covers there seems (from the demo) to be only one way to display titles. that is the hover w/ a text fade-in in center of thumbnail. I am not a fan of that aesthetic, and prefer titles out side the images, and the option to display them straight away. ... now this is a question of taste. but aside from that having only one option to display collection items / covers doesn´t seem very much… and given everything else is otherwise very aestethic, this ( – for my eyes – ) unpleasant solution makes it very hard for me to come around… while I otherwise love what I see :-)

but maybe I am overlooking things with the demo versions….? thx for any thoughts on this! oliver

hey Evolve, just checking back… :-)

in one sentence: are there alternative ways to display titles with the collection covers as from the demo there seems to be only one way to display titles (that is the hover w/ a text fade-in in center of thumbnail)?? :-) thx for feedback!

Hi there,

thank you for your kind words, concerning your question, unfortunately there aren’t titles variants for collection cover.

Best,

Simone

ok, thanks for getting back! – will consider as there are lots of good reasons besides that one…

(– meanwhile maybe it´s a helpful feedback that with some variation on that front the theme will be even more convincing, imho)

thx again + maybe till soon, this way or another!

The Instagram feed seems to be broken on the demo.

Hi there,

thanks for reporting, this is related to a plugin we have used in the demo, we will update it as soon as possible.

Best,

Simone

Do you have access to a demo of the backend options I can check out?

Hi there,

we have already changed the plugin with a new one.

Let me know if you have any other question,

Simone

Hello, I have the Clayton theme on my website, and the images in the photo gallery don’t always load, should I refresh the site so they appear, how do I solve this? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your response. How do I change the size of the images in the grid? Should i delete and upload all images to 300px size?

Hi there,

in the Gallery section of your page you can find a control called “Image size”, that allows you to control the image size to be used in the gallery.

Best,

Simone

Hello Simone, I will try the option that you recommend. Thank you

Hello! I own the Clayton theme, but my images don’t appear always at once. There is a white space instead of photos, so you need refresh the page..How can I resolve this problem ?

Hello there,

can you please send us a link to your page so that we can take a look better into the problem?

Best,

Simone

Hello, Is it possible to move the logo from the center to the top left or right side? Thanks :)

Hello there,

sorry for the late reply, yes, there is an option for the logo left and menu right layout.

Best,

Simone

Thanks for your reply. I have a further question according to the ‘Album cover scatterd’: In the desktop version the album shows the name if you hover an album with the cursor – which is great. If I check the ‘Album cover scatterd’ with an iPad it dosen’t show the album titels. My question is, is it possible to add a album name under the preview/start picture for smaller screens like smartphones or tablets? Thanks

Hi there,

thanks for the suggestion, we will further investigate on this in order to understand if we can improve it in a future update.

Regards,

Simone

update request …

are you able to add a a slider counter to clayton …

thanx

Hi there,

thanks for the suggestion, we will add it to the features request list.

Simone

Hello, is it possible to have a different logo, one for the home, one for another pages ? Thanks

Hello there,

nope, unfortunately this is not possible but thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,

Simone

OK, thanks, because on my home, the logo is over the image, not on others pages, that’s why. Thank you

Love this theme, but I can’t figure out how to create collections/albums – just like the “ALBUMS COVER” example.

Hi there,

“Albums cover” is only available for collections. In order to use it just create a new page, assign the “Collection” page template, save it, refresh the page and from the “Layout” section in the “Options” metabox at the page bottom choose “Album cover”.

Regards,

Simone

Hi Simone, thank you for the answer. I found the solution here as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p21aZ7dxXLA

Hi, I am looking to increase the size of the tagline text within the customise section but it makes no difference when I enter new font sizes. Can you explain how to get around this please? Many thanks!

Hi there, make sure to specify the unit measure in the Customizer field as well, such as “25px”.

Hey, a quick one. Will it work with Wordpress 5.3.x?

Hi there, sure, the theme works fine with the latest WordPress version. Regards, Simone

hi guys, i’m out of support time on my clayton install, however this is a bug which is problematic.,

On this page, when i click on an image, the lightbox doesn’t work. I have activated lightbox in the global settings, and the lightbox is also green on my page, but when i click, it either does nothing when i put “none” settings on the galery, or opens to the media file, but doesn’t lightbox as it should.

Could you assist ?

Many thanks,

Olivier

hi simone,

Thanks. So basically, i can’t have a nice looking gallery with lightbox SOOB (Straight Out Of The Box). must install another plugin for that, which is fine, those exist, there is a solution.

2) for the homepage or “carousel” I am stuck, because i don’t want the gallery mode or grid mode, otherwise I would have used it directly. I wish to use Carousel, and have it on mobile… and Carousel looks good for me when used with full page layout, so if I choose that, it looks Fugly (F”*ç% ugly) on mobile… and non user friendly, so not good for business.

So if i choose the one I like for all devices, except mobile, i’m stuck with a solution I don’t want in the 1st place (grid) when going mobile. How does that make sense ? Could this be an improvement on 2.0 clayton ? that we can choose for mobile if we want it “carousel” it we choose carousel for the whole rest of the screen options ?

Thanks for your answers, I see the limits of the theme, and it’s becoming problematic… hopefully the various things discussed over the year will be implemented, because they can really make or break business.

Best,

Olivier

Hello there,

the theme comes with 10 different album layout using the default WordPress gallery block without the need to install any external plugin.

2) this is a design choice, on mobile devices we think that is better to have a stream of images instead of a carousel, but thanks for the suggestion, we will further investigate if we can add the carousel as an option in a future release.

Regards,

Simone

hi simone,

Thanks for your answer. The gallery is now changed to the standard gallery, and it still doesn’t work with lightbox feature.

I must admit that I liked the tiled gallery block layout, and that’s a JetPack layout, so tried to take it off to get the lightbox to work.

Could you guys have a look at that ?

2) For the carousel, on my side it’s not really a design choice, because it breaks the design totally with mobile, so I can’t have a “winning” design all around. Could you maybe allow for it not to roll over the text or logo if in full size carousel on mobile mode ? (as it’s 2 columns or 3 on mobile, it’s a full override technically, not a “partial” one). does that make sense ?

has anyone asked for that and I could implement it in my child theme ?

Many thanks

Olivier

I just purchased the theme and I’m looking forward to getting the theme applied to my site! though when I go to the Clayton Menu and attempt to install demo content, the little gray wheel just spins and indicates that it’s working on something…but nothing ever happens.

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Hello there,

we saw your ticket on our support platform and we will reply as soon as possible,
