Hi guys – great theme and very easy to use. I do have one question regarding a page layout bug that I just discovered. Instead of having “Albums” on my site, I’m using that page to list music venues we manage. if you go to http://www.3418music.com/venues/ you’ll see that the thumbnails break on the third row. Am I missing something? Please help.
Hi, you can use this a temporarily fix: Go to Appearance – Customize – Additional CSS and add the code below: .single_album_item h3.album_title { height: 40px; } Let me know how it works.
Hi, please consider adding a “sort feature” onto the video gallery section, photo gallery section and blog section. Similar to YouTube how they have the sort option on the top of a video page. Currently, everything is sorted from newest to oldest by default, but if you add the “sort feature” you will give the user the options to also sort by most popular or oldest to newest. That should give much improvement on the user’s end when navigating themselves on a large website with tons of content to display.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion! Can you please tell how can we identify the most popular items?
The same way Google does it! By Pageviews! The individual webpages that have the most pageviews will obviously be the most popular pages. So for example, this is our video gallery section… https://www.flipfloptheclown.com/videos/
And each video has its own webpage. The website itself would need to be connected to Google analytics or a similar service and you would just grab the data from there.
Thanks for the details, I will consider this for one of the next updates.
Please do consider it because this feature will be very beneficial for larger websites like ours. Companies or bands and artist that have a large audience therefore have a website with lots of content n traffic so they need a template that meets the requirement. I have suggested features in the past that y’all have implemented, features that have improve the theme to be compatible with larger websites. This sort Feature will greatly improve the navigation on a large website.
Ok, thanks for your suggestion, I will add this to the TODO list.
Better yet, just do something similar to wha Amazon mobile does and include a filter menu on the top right corner of the video section, photo section, blog section, and music. Once the user clicks on the filter, a new pop-up menu will show and then the person can sort by most popular, old to new or viceVersa and they can also soty it by categories and subcategories and also sort by date.
Thanks!
Using a filter feature will also replace that old category menu that currently takes up a lot of space and looks ugly, especially if you have sub-categories listed on there.
OK
I meant to type Google Search Console instead of Google Analytics. But I’m sure you understand the overall idea of what I’m talking about. Do you?
I understand, I will consider a solution for one of the next updates.
Thank you
No problem.
Any idea when this feature will be implemented?
I am preparing a new theme update, but it will not include this feature, since there are other on top of the TODO list.
Just wanted to follow up and ask if you ever got to implement this feature on one of the updates?
Hi, the feature is still on the TODO list. Since this requires some good amount of code changes and it was not requested by other customers, it was delayed in favor of other fixes and features. Thanks for understanding!
Any update on this?
Hi, unfortunately, this was not implemented yet, but still on the TODO list.
Please consider prioritizing this feature because it will improve the theme, so it could be compatible for larger websites that have tons of Content. I have been suggesting this feature for many years now.
Ok, thanks!
Hello!! How can I change the language in the months and in the days of the event list? I want change to spanish, please. (I’m sorry for my english 
)
Hi, please make sure you translate both Slide theme and Slide Music Core plugin. Please check our docs page: https://docs.smartwpress.com/how-to-translate-slide-music-wordpress-theme/ Let me know if you need more help or something is not clear!
Thank you!! 
Another question, please. How I delete the option “SHARE:” in the Events pages?
Please go to Settings – Slide Music Core Settings and use the dedicated option.
I received information on warnings activities regarding not proper usage of Google fonts. The problem is when the font is loaded with every page call from Google server instead from local (my server).
In fact Slide theme uses Google fonts, and we had selected specific fonts like “Roboto” or “Radjahni”.
So I rolled back and replaced everything to “Default” manually, on all pages where used, on all settings (Slide, Elementor…). I installed a cache plugin to delete all caches. But there’s still a Google font loaded from Slide core “default_fonts.css”: body, textarea { font-family: ‘Roboto’, sans-serif;} #logo, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: ‘Roboto’, sans-serif;}
How can this be changed to something uncritical (a sans-serif font)? Or is the way Slide theme uses Google fonts is uncritical (in Germany)? Thanks
Hi, can you please tell what is the warning that you are getting? I don’t see a problem not storing the fonts locally.
I now had some time toevaluate this. Meanwhile I got an theme update, with enclosed the Local Google Fonts plugin. This finally solved the issue so that fonts are preloaded and cached on the server.
Ok, thanks for your feedback!
Hello, follow some questions before purchase:
1 – How many musics can we have in the player?
2 – There’s any way to also show deezer button ?
3 – Google pagespeed isights and gtmetrix show a bad score in your theme, any chance to update with performance?
4 – There’s other styles of discography available? With blueray to more modern look instead of vinyl ?
5 – Can we use musics from spotify to play in your player?
6 – The video gallery page can show youtube videos?
7 – We also receive the homepage PSD after purchase?
8 – Demo images included?
9 – Last update was in 11 may 2022 any new update comming?
10 – Theme is compatible with latest wordpress and elementor version?
Thanks
Hi, please check my answers below:
1 – How many musics can we have in the player? There is no limit of songs that you can add in the player.
2 – There’s any way to also show deezer button ? Can you please tell where you want to show the deezer button?
3 – Google pagespeed isights and gtmetrix show a bad score in your theme, any chance to update with performance? The speed metrix are more related to server side optionizations, not related to the theme itself. There are dedicated plugins that you can use to increase the page speed score.
4 – There’s other styles of discography available? With blueray to more modern look instead of vinyl ? There are two styles of discography that you can use, available as Elementor widgets. One is the vinyl layout, the other you can see on the demo below, on Latest Released section: https://slide.smartwpress.com/demo2/5 – Can we use musics from spotify to play in your player? The music player available as Elementor widget is meant to play self hosted audio files, or files located on external server (but you still need the direct link to the audio file)
6 – The video gallery page can show youtube videos? The video gallery is based on a dedicated custom post type, wher you can add YouTube or Vimeo videos. The gallery itseld will show the video posts, while inside the video post you can see the embedded video.
7 – We also receive the homepage PSD after purchase? Yes,
8 – Demo images included? You have the option to import each of the existing demos, then replace the content with your own.
9 – Last update was in 11 may 2022 any new update comming? Yes, we are preparing an update quite soon.
10 – Theme is compatible with latest wordpress and elementor version? Yes, as it is specified in the theme description. We’ve never had compatibility issues with the latest software versions.
Awesome, thanks:
2 – Show the deezer icon here: https://i.imgur.com/1Qjdm6j.png
4 – I saw but the limit is only 1 big thumbnail and 4 small thumbnail? or we can add more and it will create a mansory grid or something like that?
And another questions:
11 – This “next big show” widget with counter can automaticly get the latest upcomming event from your section automaticly?
12 – In elementor can we use container instead of sections with your theme?
Thanks
Hi, 2. The player offers this option to add a custom link (custom icon and custom link) 4. You can show more than five items. The layout is grid, not masonry, and you have the option to emphasize the first item in the layout. 11. Yes, the widget automatically selects the next event, based on the event posts that you can add. We’ve created custom post types for events, so you can have an internal management of your next and past events. 12. I am not sure I understand what you mean. The theme works with the default, free version of Elementor. All the custom widgets we have defined are working like any other Elementor widget.
we were learning about XML-RPC and were told that having it turned on will significantly increases our site’s attack surface. do u think we should disable it and if so can u recommend a plugin for that?
Hi, you can use one of the available WordPress plugins. We did not test a particular plugin for this.
the slider revolution themes now have social media links on them. but we cant seem to figure out how to edit the info on them. the the slider revolution site dont have much info on the topic
we figured it out! thanks to this video we learned about some new feature called Global Layers and was able to fix the issue! https://youtu.be/cYYsBp9V9Hc
Thanks for reply!
so on our home page for some reason it has a hearer code that we did not add and we cant figure out how it got there and how to take it out. go here to see it… https://www.flipfloptheclown.com
it says the page title as a h1 header
we just noticed that every time we gonna make a new page it automatically does that and adds the page title on top as the header. and if u leave the page title blank it will still leave the big header space on top of the page. it never used to do that before. and now we edited our homepage and the system added the page title on top as a header. how can we remove that?
Just change the page template according to your needs. The standard page templates inserts the page title in the header area.
my wordpress is recommending that I install imagick. Do u think i need that plugin for this theme?
No, we don’t use this functionality in the theme. But WordPress core might need this functionality to work. Where do you see this recommendation?
its on the site health tool.
Site health is a standard WordPress tool, my suggestion is to follow their recommendations.
Hi, I just purchased the theme and I’m interested in using the layout option that isn’t displayed on the demos for the events page, the one with the event cards instead of the chart, but I can’t find where to change or add those elements. I’ll appreciate the help, thanks.
Hi, the events cards is a Elementor widget that we have created for Slide theme. Simply edit a page in Elementor and search for “events cards” in the widgets list.
Hello,
I started translation process using Polylang plugin, for DE and EN. But some things don’t work as expected and I can’t find any reason. So homepage is in an undefined status at the moment…
Which translation plugins are known to work? Is Polylang one of them? Or Translatepress?
I translated posts, and also added post categories in both languages, assigned the posts accordingly, but the News page using the slide theme template always uses the same (DE) language post. How to handle posts in several languages?
I created a duplicate Home page (home_en), but opening domain URL alswayss tries to open EN version instead of defined standard german home. Why?
Do I have to also translate slide theme and music core? I already did following your tutorial, but I’m not sure if it works?
Do I have to use Polylang for Elementor plugin additionally and also translate Slide templates, widgets etc.?
I hope you have some helping ideas on that. Thanks in advance. Markus
Hi Markus, we have customers using Polylang with no issues, from my point of view, it is all a matter of Polylang configuration. If there is something that I should implement to enhance compatibility, please let me know. But I am quite sure that the theme should work out of the box with Polylang.
Hm, I’ll try. What I can say: when I use “Slide Blog Post” Elementor object, and I select the english post category “News” it still shows the German post. Any idea?
I finally restarted the PC, deleted the English post and created it anew. Now it seems to work. Maybe it was a cash topic inside Wordpress? However…
I don’t really think you need to restart the PC since this cannot affect your Polylang options. If you think is a cache issue, you can just delete recent website cache from your browser.
Hi, is it possible to add the music tracks to the player from Spotify? Thank you so much
Hi, you can add media files based on URL. So you can use both self hosted files, or media files hosted on different server. But I cannot tell if you can add music from Spotify.
Hey guys. Loving the theme so far! It works great (wearewildr.com). My support has expired but I’m wondering how to access the mobile menu. There’s a ‘share’ icon in the top left corner of menu header that I would like to delete.
Thank you!
Hi, your mobile menu icon is on the right side of the menu bar. Why would you want to delete the share icon?
I like this theme and have been using it for a couple years now. Can’t figure out how it order soonest events to further event order on the main events page (not homepage) since there is no order option.
Hi, it depends on the type of events that you want to show with the events widget. The upcoming events will be sorted starting with the very next event. Please edit the widget and play with the event type option.
Thank you. Not using a widget but am using the events page that came with the template. I have searched for a way to edit the order (oldest event to newest/future) someplace on the page, in the event itself and in the template set up but no options are available. I have been using WP for about 15 years now and do not consider myself a novice but this has me stumped.
If you are using the events template, then you can simply change the page template. There are three templates available: Events – All, Events – Past and Events – Upcoming. Each template is sorted according to the type of events that are displayed. The sorting option that you mentioned is the default one for the Events – Upcoming page template. You can create two or three different pages, based on each template, and show your visitors all your events, both upcoming and past events. Let me know if something is not clear!
That worked. Thank you!
Thanks for notice!
Hello, I want the header with the main menu to be transparent. Where do I find the right settings? Thanks for help.
Hi, you can change the background color globally, from Appearance – Customize, or for some individual pages, from the custom meta box under the content area (in page edit screen). Let me know if something is not clear!
Well, thank you. But I still can’t make the menu background color transparent so that the menu text shows on the background. I am using a slider on my homepage. Does it only work if a background image is used? In other themes I am using it was possible to have the menu text over the slider. Thanks for help.
No, the menu background color is not affected by the underneath object. The transparency option for the menu works 100%. Please go to Appearance – Customize – Menu Colors and change the option called “Menu bar background color”. Just make sure to use the transparency selector under the color control.
... now I’ve got it. Thanks.
Great!
Hi,
“Single Video” WPBakery element don’t seem to be able to read the videos anymore.
Une erreur s’est produite. Veuillez réessayer ultérieurement. (ID de lecture : GHpYrhQ0YdbveryP)
On Single Vidéo pages, the video work great. Not on the WPBakery “Single Video” widget.
THanks.
Hi, please open a support ticket here https://smartwpress.ticksy.com/submit/#100012518 and send us more details about the error you are getting. Long time ago we introduced full Elementor support for the theme, so I strongly encourage you to switch to Elementor page builder, since it is easier to use and much customizable and faster solution. If you still want to use the old WPBakery widgets, then please open a support ticket and we’ll take a look on your setup.
I can’t rebuild the whole site with Elementor now… It’s a huge work I’m not willing to do.
My support expired so I can’t open a ticket. Isn’t there another way to contact you ?
THanks.
Yes, you can renew the support period from your Envato account. I will check the single video widget anyway and prepare a fix for the next update, in case I’ll be able to reproduce the problem. Are you using YouTube for your video?
Please add Anghami to social profile or allow us a custom tool to add our own “social media” icon to the social profiles bar on the home screen
Hi, I will add this to my TODO list.
I purchased this theme some years back, after importing the demo version, I tried changing the logo from (Slide Theme Settings) Under Appearance but after uploading my logo and click save. The logo still won’t change, I don’t have any suppport available, but I think there should be a way for solve this problem without paying for extra support, please kindly let me know how to fix this myself. Thanks
Hi, please check if you have a custom logo applied to the home page. Just edit the home page and navigate under the content area for the dedicated custom meta box.
Hi, I am looking for a solution to have a page with an index of song titles on the left, arranged vertically, and lyrics appearing on the right side corresponding to the selected song.. Probably using tabs, each selected song title would display it’s lyrics on the right side, with a unique background for each song. Probably need to use templates? Do you have any features with this theme, any templates that would facilitate this? Thx
Hi and thank you for being interested in Slide Music Theme! Unfortunately, at this moment, this functionality is not implemented. While you can add lyrics in the content area of the album post type, there is no automatic functionality that shows the lyrics for each song. Please let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks for confirming and quick reply. With the Music player for Elementor plugin, can you set the length, the duration of a song. For example if you want to give a sample, and play ~30 seconds. And if so can you select the start and end time freely,at any point of the song? Thx
The duration is automatically read from the song itself. If you want to offer a sample, you need to cut your music in a different software, then upload the sample to the player. Even if we can implement this functionality in the player, your users might be able to get the entire media file from the page source. That is why you need to cut the song outside the player, in case you want to offer short samples to your customers.
Ok, I understand you do not have this functionality. Regarding “users might be able to get the entire media file from the page source”, do Itunes, and Amazon, for example, are they subject to that issue as well?
You don’t have to answer here Alex, I’’ reply from my email….cheers
Thanks!
Hello, i would like to ask for a solution, how to change in event plugin months from english to another language. Thx a lot
All the event months can be translated, you just need to translate Slide theme and Slide Music Core plugin. Please check our docs page regarding the translation of the theme: https://docs.smartwpress.com/how-to-translate-slide-music-wordpress-theme/
