Hello. What is the difference from the pirated version and how to upgrade to the paid version?

Hello, you should purchase the theme here, the pirated version is not guaranteed by us and will not be supported if you face any problems.

Thanks for your interest.

Hello. I am getting this error message in the web console:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://gametolearnjapanese.com/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure font ‘http://gametolearnjapanese.com/wp-content/themes/kappa/assets/webfonts/fa-regular-400.woff2'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

This is causing the icons and whatnot to not load. How do I fix this?

It’s something to do with the images. I removed the featured image for this post: https://gametolearnjapanese.com/danganronpa-series-review/

Now the problem persists for a few second. When that post has the featured image the problem persists until I press one of the arrows on the slider.

Think its got something to do with lazily loading of images?

I think its fixed not. I think it was the “lazy load thumbnails” functionality on the SG Optimizer plugin that was messing everything up

Thanks for looking into it!

Hello, It looks like you solved the issue, I have no idea why it occurred, the slider worked fine when I deactivated those two plugins.

Feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

Is there away to install this theme with out using the FTP Client? I am using AWS i don’t have a FTP Client on there I can SSH using a key for the password. Wordpress don’t allow me to use that key to give your theme access

Hello,

You can navigate to Appearance -> Add New Themes -> Upload page. Select kappa.zip file. Press the Install Now button to upload and install the theme.

After uploading the theme, you have to activate it. Navigate to Appearence -> Themes page to activate the theme.

I hope that helps.

Hello, I purchased your theme and I love the simplicity and design of it but I’m running into an issue with the menus. The demo page shows Home, Features, News, Reviews, etc, but I can only get one menu to show up on mine if I set it to ‘primary’ All of the other menus I’ve made do not appear unless I check the ‘primary menu’ box. Since you can only have one Primary menu at a time, I can only have one menu up there at a time. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I would like to have a few more buttons on my menu that link to catagegories that i’ve defined like news, guides, etc. This is my website and as you can see, I can only get ‘home’ menu to show.

Thanks

Please disregard my question, I was able to work it out by reading your previous responses. I needed to create a menu via wordpress instead of the theme and then just use theme to put it on the menu area. I’m new to theme forest and couldn’t find the answer online. Thanks!

Hello,

Kappa supports one location for a custom WordPress menu – the Primary Menu:

The Primary Menu supports 4 levels of drop-downs, for menu setup, navigate to the Appearance > Menus page. Enter a name for your menu and add links to the menu by using the options given on the left sidebar. You can manage your menus using the drag and drop functionality (screenshot)

After setting up your menu, check on Primary Menu checkbox and save changes (screenshot).

Check out more info on the WordPress Menu system

Did you set up your menu?

I hope that helps.

Hello, the theme is working great so far but sometimes I get confused with little things.

For example, I would like to add a category widget on the side of the website. I can add the categories but i cant put a label on them that matches the kappa widgets (black rectangle with an orange highlight on the left).

I hope i explained my issue well.

Please check your inbox, I hope that helps.

Everything is working fine now ! Thank you for your great support !

I’m glad to know that helped, feel free to let me know here if you have further questions.

Thanks.

Hello!

I’ve recently purchased your Kappa theme and installed on my site, however it seems I cannot for my life make the featured posts slider work. I installed it as the documentation say, into the featured slot, and I tried to use all categories, all tags and even post IDs, but it always show “nothing found”. Could you please give me support on this?

Hello,

- I see, You should upload the featured images for your posts (read How to Add Featured Images or Post Thumbnails in WordPress)

The widget will not retrieve the empty featured image posts.

I hope that helps.

Thanks, I totally forgot about featured images.

I’m glad to know that helped, feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

hi i am really intrested in your theme but i need to ask does it support Left to right languages

Hello,

Did you mean about RTL, if so, it’s supported.

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Phpface,

I am recreating the Kappa website on my website to learn the ins and outs. I have done well so far and looking for help on the menu -> review page.

Can you explain to me how I can create the CATEGORY: REVIEWS portion. Same goes for the CATEGORY: VIDEOS.

Here are links to the site for clarity:

https://theesoloist.com/gaming/videos/ https://theesoloist.com/gaming/review/

Hope that’s fine.

Hello,

1. Firstly, you will need to create a Review category (screenshot) or something similar likes that.

2. Navigate to Appearance > Menus and drag the Review category to the menu (screenshot).

3. Save changes.

Check out more info on the WordPress Menu system

I hope that helps.

Thank you this worked perfectly!

I have one last question if you can.

Thanks in advance

1. It’s a page.

2. It’s a Contact Form 7 form.

I hope that helps.

how do i install demo theme? Thanks

Hi, thank you very much for this great looking template. I have just purchased and installed it on www.phyberx.de and would like to create blog posts like in your Preview/Features: “Review Post, Gallery Post, Video Post” and so on but i cannot find the template for these. In the Templates i can only find “Standard” “Redux Canvas” “Redux Contained” “Redux Full width” or in the other template section “Default” “Fullwidth Thumbnail Image” “Fulwidth No Sidebar”. Please help me out. Best regards Eric Späte

Hello Eric,

These posts are post formats, firstly, you will need to activate the Vafpress Post Formats UI plugin at the Appearance > Install Plugins page, then you can enable its option on the Preferences modal, please watch this video https://youtu.be/vYySp7Z4dMI

I hope that helps, feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Thanks.

I have a problem with review table in multipage reviews, it appears under each page, i would like it only on the last page if possible.

Hello,

I see, just my opinion, the review box should appear at the bottom, the users always see it without moving to the next page :)

Anyways, you can put this code to the end of kappa/functions.php or kappa-child/functions.php file, I suggest that you use the kappa child theme instead, the changes won’t be lost if you update the theme in the furture.

I hope it works.

Works like a charm, thanks for the support ;)

I’m glad that helped, feel free to let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

Hi there!

I need to know how i can add review system in my review blog

my review option is already checked ??

Nevermind got it i was being stupid not to scroll down lol

I’m glad to know you found that :), feel free to let me know if you have further questions.

Recently updated the theme to 1.1.6.5 and Wordpress to 5.6 and the aside posts widget isn’t loading correctly on Posts, it doesn’t appear to be loading thumbnails. It does however work fine on the Homepage and when a post is Previewed.

Here is how it appears on the Homepage https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlCVqEwEhRvCgRinLv4ctVDExddC?e=kQLIOZ But this is how it appears on a post https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlCVqEwEhRvCgRl9KHv1DlaLNJa5?e=RMyQdh

Thanks for any help or tips to try!

Hello,

You should remove this CSS snippet, it hides all thumbnail images on the single post page.
.has-post-thumbnail img.wp-post-image, .attachment-twentyseventeen-featured-image.wp-post-image {
    display: none !important;
}

I hope that helps and please renew support if you need any assistance :)

Thanks.

Hello i am having 2 issues with the theme.

1) Check https://dbdmeta.com/ on home page (First page and second page) there is duplicate posts of the same content. One on first page and one on second page.

2) In Settings>Reading i set “Display Maximum: 5” blog posts. but it’s not showing 5 on homepage, it’s showing way more. How do I fix that?

Hello, I checked your website but I’m not sure I see any problems :)

Hi how do i make it so articles on front page is summary and not full article?

Already went to settings->reading>Checked Summary

Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/vFaliX9.jpeg

Hello,

Firstly, make sure that you have the Kappa newest version (version 1.1.6.4) installed.

I suggest that you use the more tag.

OR navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Blog and untick the “Full Entry Content” option.

I hope that helps.

Hello how do i set up the slider? I cant find it anywhere.

Hello,

My apologies for the delayed reply, please read the Featured Slider section in the documentation.

To set up the featured slider, go to Appearance > Widgets > Drag in the “[Kappa] Featured Posts” widget into the “Featured” widget area.

In the settings for the “[Kappa] Featured Posts” widget, you can set which posts you want to show, You have the option to show posts from a specific category, tag or even post ID’s.

I hope that helps.

This is probably going to be a stupid question but when pasting blog links thumbnails are not displaying. Only header image is displaying. Can you help?

Hello,

Please use the account that you purchased the theme to write comments, otherwise, I cannot verify your purchase.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi

The theme has been great so far and still figuring out some of the stuff but I need to know a few things from you.

1. I would like the review score and summary not to show up on my homepage but if they click on “continue reading” it must show up at the bottom just like your demo and I cant figure out how to do this at the moment.

Here is a screenshot https://imgur.com/a/CEFQrch

2. Will there be social buttons added for discord or can I do this myself.

3. How can I change the text color of the side widgets, I somehow changed it to black and cant figure out how to change it back to white.

Thanks

Hello,

1. You can navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Blog and untick the “Full Entry Content” checkbox.

2. The discord icon is currently unavailable but I will add it into the next update soon.

3. Navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Styling > Widget Heading field, you can adjust the font, color … etc.

I hope that helps, don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

That fixed my review problem, but now it only show a couple of words on the homepage before it gets cut off and not my summary.

Examples of how it currently is and how I want it to look.

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for letting me know the issue, it is fixed, I guess that you got an update notification from the Themeforest, after updating the theme, you will need to tick on the “Full Entry Content” checkbox as above, the post excerpt will work as expected.

Thank you.
