If I try to use a Google font there is a missing comma in the css, and my browser doesn’t like it and uses another font. Here is an example:

font-family: “Lora”“Palatino Linotype”, “Book Antiqua”, Palatino, serif, “cursive”;

Hi there, thanks for purchasing, we spotted the comma issue yesterday and fixed it, please make sure you are running the latest verison: 1.1.8.

If you have any more issues please send over a support request via http://www.meanthemes.com/support/

Also, please make sure you are only using 1 google font for headings and 1 google font for body content, it looks like you’re trying to use a few too many from the above example.

Great! Now it’s work! Thank you very much!!!

Great theme !

I just installed it but my Permalinks are gone…. any Idea ?

When you say permalinks are gone, what do you mean exactly? If you could send over a link via our support form we’ll take a look for you :)

And thanks for purchasing!

U have a new support ticket ;)

Already replied :)

Great theme! I have two questions before I buy…

Is it possible to set my homepage as a static full width page and have the blog linked in the nav menu instead?

Can I place a jquery image slider such as Nivo as the main image in a full width page?

Untimately, I’d like to create a homepage that looks like the main page of the demo, but I’d like the big image to be an automatic sliding image and I’d like to have some minimal content below that.

Thanks!

Hey mixlrose, thank you :)

In answer to your questions: Yes, you can use any of the page templates as your homepage. Just set up a page with Page – Full Width template, go to Settings > Reading and choose static page and select your page. Yes, the menu is in your full control you can either link to the blog category or use the Blog layout page template and set up a page to link to.

The jQuery slider question, you can use Nivo (Nivo isn’t tested but should in theory work) or similar within the page content, but not in place of the featured image. As it stands, you could have no featured image, so title would be at the top, then insert shortcode for a slider in the content area, then below the slider could go your page content.

I hope that answers all of your questions :)

Perfect, thank you. I’ll give it a try!

No problem, thank you for purchasing :) if you have any questions, please head over to our support page: http://www.meanthemes.com/support and thanks again!

Bought, as promised. :)

Thank you sir :) Any other questions, please shout!

Perfect! I’ll buy it later today.

Thanks for the quick response with answers to and screenshots of exactly what I wanted to know. :)

Cheers!

No problem, happy to help :)

above: “custom menu system” ...

I intend to buy this theme for a small project. One quick presale question:

Does the theme fully support the WP custom system (f. ex. a 3-level drop-down menu)? If I set up a three-level drop-down menu, will this also be reflected in the mobile drop down menu by being indented properly …?

Example Menu1 - sub-menu A - – sub-menu AA - sub-menu B - – sub-menu BB Menu 2

Lovely theme. Looking forward to setting it up. :)

deus62

P.S.: Oops, forgot one. I need to password protect two/three pages (not posts) the WP standard way. I guess that is fully supported as well? Just asking … :)

Hey deus62. Ok, yes to both, however the styling was off on the password protect slightly, so we’ve just updated the CSS for that.

Here are screenshots for how it looks…

If you do decide to purchase, go to WordPress > Updates and you should find version 1.1.7 waiting in there for you (ThemeForest take a few days to approve new versions).

Thanks :)

Hi,

What do you mean by “Choose boxed or wide layout for the whole website”? boxed like a grid layout?

Thanks

Hey rbouet, very good point – we’ve just added the page to the demo site so you can see what it looks like, basically left and right borders and a big background colour.

Great theme, just i was looking for. I think you missed a in single.php (could be why comments looks different here and here. I cant make localisation work for me (trying to translate to spanish) creating es_ES.mo in a directory called /lang inside theme folder or in root.

Sorry about my english and thanks for the great work.

Hi danyloo, thanks for the spot, closing tag wrong side of an IF statement, will be fixed on next release!

Localisation should be working as I know others that have translated Moustachey, replacing in root should work.

Thanks for purchasing :)

Love this theme, and pritty sure I’ll use it for my next blog project. I have one question. Can I include full length blogposts with several images on the front page?

Thanks jasper02. At the moment the blog index cuts the post after 28 words unless a more tag is inserted. In theory you could add a more tag to the very end of the post to achieve what you are after. If that doesn’t work for you though it would make sense to have a full blog option, which we could write in to the next update.

Hi there, full length blog posts now available on version 1.2.1. We’re waiting for ThemeForest to approve, should be in the next 72 hours. If you purchase the theme you can get it via logging in to WordPress and choosing ‘Updates’ top left, it may take up to 24 hours for your WordPress install to see the new version, although its usually much quicker than that :)

Can I reverse the dark text box under the feature image on the homepage to white? I would like content box area to be white (especially for Standard Posts) and the text fonts dark (like #333 etc.) Thx

Yes you can change that via the theme options, it will be all post boxes in that colour unless you add some CSS to target post types specifically, which we can help you with :)

1. Can the feature image be adjusted to any size within the options panel? I am looking at about a width (up and down) of about 300px. thx.

2. I would like to have copy and comments in link posts. Is this possible?

Hi pgsima, in answer to your questions…

1. the featured image cannot be adjusted in the options panel, it defaults to a width of 660px wide for a page/post when side navigation is activated and 940px wide for a full width page.

2. Unfortunately, no this isn’t possible

However, both 1 and 2 can be addressed with a Child Theme. If you have PHP knowledge you’d be able to make the adjustments for 1 and 2 to work. If you don’t have PHP knowledge, we can do the customisation work for you but I’m afraid we’d need to charge for that.

I hope the above helps answer your questions :)

Guys, just fyi… I am asking about the width (top to bottom) of the image. This is currently set at 524 px. I want to adjust that.

I understand the length (left to right) to be 940px.

Ah ok, in which case the height (top to bottom) can be any height you want :)

Hi, I just wanted to know if is possible to add a multi-language pluggin to this design? Thanks! great work.

Hi andrea79, thank you :)

We have not tested the theme with a multi-language plugin I’m afraid. We have made the theme full translatable via the .po file in the theme download though.

If you do decide to purchase the theme and install the plugin, please let us know if the plugin works and what it is called and we’ll list it as supported for future purchasers.

Thanks meanthemes… wow, that was fast! You know, I actually thought that might be it but didn’t think to actually try it.

5 stars, rating now!

Cheers!

Brilliant, thanks johnball – we’ve made the update to the description on our development version, next time we release an update you’ll see a clearer description in there :)

And thanks for the 5 star rating, very much appreciated :)

Brilliant, beautiful theme! Love the look & feel and the Movember support is just an added bonus.

I’d like my posts to all have a full-page width, no sidebar (the footer is enough for my Widget needs). I do not see the option for full-width posts, just full width pages.

Is there a simple edit that could make this happen?

Hi johnball, thank you for purchasing :) Yes there is a full width option… if you go to Theme Options > General Settings tab and then in the section titled “Global Settings” tick the box that says “Turn off Side Navigation” that will make all posts full width. As this has caused you confusion, we’ll add more descriptive text to this option so it’s clear this makes all pages and posts full width.

About the readmore tag, I resolved, okay :)

It is only when you first install the theme that you get that notification. No updates to Moustachey will clear any of your Moustachey settings.

Thank you for your explanation. I voted 5 stars

No problem and that is very kind of you, thank you :)

Hi meanthemes, I purchased the theme. I only have a technical question, I can not do the show readmore. I created a new Article, Video or Audio Standard or so, I wrote a text, then I put the readmore tag, I wrote more text. But I do not see the readmore in frontpage. Thanks

Hi there, the read more tag does cut the content off but we’ve disabled the read more text inline with the post text as there is a read more link at the bottom of every post.

I hope that answers your question, if you need anything else please submit a support form via http://www.meanthemes.com/support and we’ll look into it for you.

Finally, thanks for purchasing :)

It is probably a bug, the readmore tag never appears. I try to contact your support.

One last question, in Theme Options appears this notice: “Please note, you will need to copy across any settings from your other themes, we do not automatically import your settings.”

What does this mean? Each update I lose my settings? I hope not… Thanks

I really like this theme. Six updates in two days, before buying I want to know if it supports child theme Thanks

Hi macrunner, yes all our themes are child theme friendly. We always aim to support each new release heavily in the first few days of release in terms of new features, listening to feedback and adding any new features that we think will add value. As you can see from our ratings on the other themes support is quick and efficient, we like to make sure our customers are happy :)

Ah no problem rappel, yes a language folder would make sense I guess, will do that next time :)

We’ll have a think on the archives page, thanks for the suggestion.

Nice theme, and fast support.

It would be perfect, if you add a .po file and an archives-page-template.

Regard, r.

Hi rappel… Archive template added: http://www.meanthemes.com/theme/moustachey/archives/

Enjoy :)

Nice to see this. Thank you very much :)

No problem :)
