Thank you.. your solution worked a treat, I managed to get the widget area exactly where I wanted it.
Thanks again

Hello SaurabhSharma,
I understand you can move the header widget area above the logo:
“1. The header widget area can be moved above logo inside header.php file. Cut line no. 63 and paste just after line no. 51:
<?php get_template_part(‘includes/header-widget-area’); ?>”
Is there a way to move the header widget area on top of the logo area?
Kind Regards, Gemma
Hello Gemma,
The solution is same as you have mentioned above. Inside haeder.php file, moving line no. 63 to line no. 51 will shift widget area just above the logo. Kindly let me know if there is any confusion or different query.
Regards
Wow super quick response, thanks.
I don’t think I was clear enough…
I am using the stretched theme layout. I am using a logo which is 960px wide. I would like the logo to be behind the header widget area. (so they both occupy the same space – the header widget area to be in front and the logo behind it).
Kind Regards, Gemma
Hello Gemma,
In that case, it will be required to make header widget area absolute positioned. For example:
.header-widget-area { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; }
Further, if you send me your site URL, I can check and suggest appropriate solution.

Hi Saurabh,
Thank you for the above, as mentioned it was exactly what I was looking for.
I have a new query:
Responsive css is not displaying the website page correctly when I view the website on an iPad etc.
I am using stretched layout. I did change the header widget area css to absolute position. And I am also using a form generator plugin (for contact forms).
With the responsive.css turned off – Is there some code I can add to the style.css that simply resizes the website to the size of the screen it is being viewed on?
Kind Regards, Gemma
Hello Gemma,
When responsiveness is turned off, a meta tag is also disabled which re sizes the site according to device width. Open header.php file and look for the following code at line no. 18:
<?php if ( 'true' != $xng_disable_resp_css ) : ?> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" /> <?php endif; ?>
Remove the conditional statement and only keep the meta tag code as:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
This will re size the site according to device width. You can use mobile’s zoom feature for further zooming.
Regards
Thank you for your reply. I have found out this is what is causing the problem:
.header-widget-area { position: absolute; overflow:hidden; float:right; padding:0 0px 0 0; margin:77px 0px 0px 0; width:980px; text-align:right; text-shadow:0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.3) }
The header widget width is not resizing to the device size and this is why the website does not display correctly on a device smaller than 980px.
Please can you advise?
Many Thanks for your support,
Kind Regards, Gemma
Extra notes – I am using the header widget to display social media icons, I have the widget width 980px wide so that the icons are displayed in the correct place on the website header. However on a device smaller than 980px the icons are not displayed in the correct place and the website is also not displayed correctly.
Hello Gemma,
Since you are using a fixed width of 980px, it will be required to set different widths within media queries inside responsive.css file. Or you can also fix this by assigning a width in percent. For example:
.header-widget-area { width: 100%; } /* or 90% */
This will let it expand according to the parent container width. If this doesn’t work, open responsive.css file and add different widths for each media query. For example:
@media only screen and (min-width: 740px) and (max-width: 999px) {
.header-widget-area { width: 720px; }
}
Regards
Thank you for your on going support I have sent you an Email.
Hello,
First of all, thank you for a great theme!!
I was wondering if it is possible to get the header widget area in the middle of the page instead of the right side. That way I can place the product search form in the center of my page.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Hello Wheelie_NL,
Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback. Currently, header widget area floats to the right, along with a right text alignment. You can change this by adding these rules at the end of style.css file:
.header-widget-area { float: left; text-align: left; }
After adding this rule, the searchform will appear next to logo.
Regards
Hi Saurabh!
Thank you for the response. I almost have the search bar how I like. Just one more question.
I’ve added some css, like you mentioned, to the stylesheet. These are the rules I placed:
.header-widget-area { float: left; text-align: left; margin: 65px 0 15px 0; width: 260px;}
I used the margins to get the form in the middle of my logo and the width to get the form more to the left. (closer to my logo)
This gave me the following result: http://oi40.tinypic.com/wbe3cl.jpg
However I’d like to stretch the search form widget all the way so it aligns with the end of the navbar. Is there a way I can do this?
Thanks again!
Hello Wheelie_NL,
Kindly add these rules at the end of style.css file:
.header-widget-area .searchbox,
.header-widget-area .widget_product_search {
width: 176px;
max-width: 176px;
}
.header-widget-area #searchform input[type="text"] {
width:145px;
}
You can change the width and max-width values according to the available width of widget area.
Regards
Hi again!
Thank you, it’s almost there! But the search form doesn’t reach the submit button. The layout breaks. What am I doing wrong?
Screenshot: http://oi42.tinypic.com/2qlbpk1.jpg
This is the css I added:
.header-widget-area { float: left; text-align: left; margin: 65px 0 15px 0; width: 560px;}
.header-widget-area .searchbox,
.header-widget-area .widget_product_search {
width: 520px;
max-width: 520px;
}
.header-widget-area #searchform input[type="text"] {
width:520px;
}
Thanks again!!
Hello Wheelie_NL,
Change the last code snippet as:
.header-widget-area #searchform input[type="text"] {
width:520px;
max-width: 520px;
}
If I could see the live URL, I would have provided exact CSS. But I hope this one will work.

Hi Saurabh ji,
Thanks for your beautiful theme. We purchased XING yesterday. I sent a mail to you yesterday on your gmail ID regarding the Responsive feature of Xing for compatability to mobile/ipad. Hope you are reviewing the same. After I sent the mail, I was happy to see one of the feature “Mobile ready layout”. I will try it any come back if any doubts while doing my site.
One question, how many approx max shopping items can be added through this theme…?
Hello Prasad Ji,
Thanks for purchasing the theme and providing kind feedback. I just replied to your email.

Hi, currently i have Version 1.0.4 and have downloaded the upgrade to 1.0.6 – which files do i need to replace on the server please?
Thanks
Hello ChrisDive,
There were some file changed and CSS changes in 1.0.5 and 1.0.6. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you details for both versions.

does it support RTL languages and WPML?
Hello littleantz,
Thanks for browsing the theme. Currently RTL CSS is not included. I will try to add it in future updates. Regarding WPML, the theme is translation ready and supports this plugin. There are some areas in which translation may not work using WPML. For example, inside theme options text boxes. Besides that it will support the plugin.
Regards
Problem with all plugins zoom image. I use the plugin YITH WooCommerce Zoom Magnifier
See the problem http://i.imgur.com/bO5zjPy.png
How do I bring forward the menu?
Hello jpBenfica,
The zoom container has higher z-index than the sub-menu. If you send me the URL of this particular page, I can suggest appropriate z-index value.

ok now. Thanks

first: It is a real real good template, thx!!!
Question:
Where can i find all short codes?I’m searching for them to create the Homepage, with “latest products, latest blog posts”,... like your demosite.
Hello djmaki,
Thanks for the purchase and kind words.
Short codes example and dummy markup can be found inside your main download_zip/dummy_data/home.txt file. You can copy contents of this file and paste inside your Home page in “Text” mode of editor.
P.S. Make sure you have downloaded the main archive and not just the installable theme.
Regards
Thx for the answer! I found it
Only i still missing the shortcode for the latest blog posts (list-style).
In the txt files there is only<h3>From the Blog <small>- Latest news and updates</small></h3>
after this line theres no more code 
Hello djmaki,
In that particular file, a page template is used. There is no short code. For example, choose a list style or grid style blog template from “Page Attributes” panel. Next, provide category IDs inside Page Options panel. You can find details inside documentation file’s section 8. Create a Blog Page.
Regards
Please consider to add an image in search results.
Hello jpBenfica,
If you use WooCommerce Search Widget, it will show product search results same as on shop page.
If you wish to show normal search results like blog/archive with images, simply rename search.php file to search1.php. When no search.php is found, it will automatically show in blog style using index.php.
Regards
SaurabhSharma,
Is there any way to add more social network quick links to the widget? We have an Instragam and in the future an Etsy profile that we woud like to include.
Thanks, BottleFreaks
Hello BottleFreaks,
In order to add new icons, it will be required to edit xing/includes/social-links-widget.php file. It will also be required to edit the social icons image file and add CSS rules for it. If possible, I will try to add these in next updates.

How to add Google maps in the right side of the contact form?
Hello jpBenfica,
Open your location in maps.google.com and copy the iframe code. Next, paste this code inside a ‘Text’ widget in any sidebar. You can change width of iframe to 176 according to sidebar width.
Regards
Hello SaurabhSharma,
Thanks for your beautiful theme. My client asked me for changing the header background color from white to blue. It is possible ? Thanks !
Hello camillegarnier,
Thanks for browsing the theme. Header background color can be specified separately because it is a combination of callout section and header area. However, a background image can be specified for the main container which can reside on upper part covering the header. It can be a blue background image too.

Hi,
I installed this theme today, and everything is working fine so far except localization. I can’t make the theme display the messages in Hungarian.
I don’t want to edit your files, I’m using a child theme to change colors, layout etc. I renamed the mo and po files in the xing languages folder to hu_HU, put in there some trandlations for the search form and the account text next to the shopping cart, but neither using the child theme, nor switching back to the original can I display the translation. My wordpress admin area text is in Hungarian, also WPLANG is set to hu_HU.
The site is http://flizorkonyha.hu/
Do you have any idea or suggestion?
Great theme and love it by the way
Hello bmintbalazs,
Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback.
The search text and shopping bag text are both translation ready. When translating hu_HU.po file, save it so that a hu_HU.mo file is compiled. If this doesn’t work, kindly send me your po and mo files at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the translation.
Regards
Thank you Shaurab for your fast answer. You were right, I was editing the po files via ftp so no compilation was made.
Working now, though I don’t understand why the items in cart text is still displayed in English. Interesting that it’s translated when there is 1 product in the cart, but otherwise not (in plural). Any idea for that?
I’ll send you the translation, thank you for your help.
Hello Balazs,
Sent you the files with plural forms fixed.
Regards
Hello Shaurab,
It’s working perfectly now.
This is a great theme, I would recommend it to everyone. We were up and running with a very nice online store with a few hours work. We got excelent with my personal issues, even correcting what I’d screwed up. Also the documentation is excellent, the coding is clean with great comments. It was easy to create a child theme and override styles and functions I wanted to modify.
I would say this is the most complete and easy-to-use theme I’ve ever purchased or downloaded so far.
Keep up with the good work!
Hello Balazs,
Thank you for the kind words and feedback. It is very much appreciated.

Hi,
I am having trouble implementing the slider with multiple slides. With one static slide it works/links fine, but when I try adding more than one it messes up. Could you provide me the proper shortcode/html structure for adding multiple slides? I want to add a link to each slide.. it’s putting a grey transparent bar (maybe 10px high) on the bottom of one of them for some reason.
Thanks! Hope to hear back soon.
Hello tvstoreonline,
For slider markup/html, kindly open your download_zip/dummy_data/home.txt file. Copy the slider markup from this file and paste inside “Text” mode of your home page in editor. The grey transparent line is for slide captions. To remove that, do not insert a caption short code which reads as [slide_text].
Regards
It’s still putting the grey bar there. I removed the second slide for now because there are many visitors on the site each day. The images need to be hyperlinked as well. My code is below. The hyperlinks don’t work when I have more than one slide and the grey bar still appears on the bottom of the second slide. It is very important for me to have this functioning properly, I appreciate your help.
http://pastie.org/private/wudnpz9dpssukaur6bu8xaHello tvstoreonline,
I just pasted the same code at my end and the slides work correctly. There is no grey bar, and the links work too. I think it will be required to clear W3 Total cache to see the changes in effect. I suspect that could be causing the issue.
Regards
I just cleared the cache and tried again. Took some screenshots, because I have many people visiting the site for the contest we’re running and didn’t want to leave a broken slider up. The links still don’t work..
Slide 1: http://i.imgur.com/1vO8icM.png
Slide 2: http://i.imgur.com/PAgMm4u.png
Hello tvstoreonline,
Kindly send me your WP login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will create a new test page with same code, as I can confirm it is happening due to caching plugin.

Hi Saurabh, Before to purchase your theme, I’ve got a few questions:
What I want to do is remove the slider in the blog home page and replace it by any other slider like for example wooslider with a shortcode. Can I disable the slider on home page?
Then I want to add some content below the blog grid template with shortcodes.
Is it possible to add content below the glog drid template set as the home page? Or, should I give up on the blog grid and use shortcode in the editor to pull in articles instead of the grid template and finally add my content below the articles..?
Is there any shortcode to call in articles on pages?
Thank you in advance,
Best, François
Hello François,
1. Slider and carousel are inserted using short codes on Home page. They can be removed or shifted as required. There is no hard coded slider.
2. When using blog gird template, content can be added ‘above’ all blog items. I think you wish to show them below the grid. Right now, editor content is supported above the blog template. This can be shifted below if required.
3. Yes there is a short code for showing a post list, but that will show a small thumbnail list, not the big one like Grid style.
Regards
Thank you Saurabh!
Hello
I have updated the theme, plugins and woocomerce and am still receiving a message saying “Your theme does not declare WooCommerce support”.

Hi, I’m just planning my second affiliate webpage and found the Xing-theme on this German webpage: www. multifunktionsdruckertests.de I was wondering that they are using Amazon buttons, ratings, prices etc. in the product-postings. Is there a plugin available which perfectly fits on the theme or is it a “d.i.y. solution” of the webmaster? Thanks for your help!!! Greetings from Germany, Jochen
Hello Jochen,
Thanks for browsing the theme. On that website link, they have placed the thumbnails and buttons manually using HTML markup. Those are not WooCommerce products. Clicking on the details button will open a page related to that particular product. Those are ‘pages’ and not WooCommerce product posts. So it is done manually, and no plugin is used.
Regards
Thanks for your quick reply. Is it possible to customize the button from the startingpage (add to cart/ select options) in the admin area without any prgramming? I’d like to install a refer button to a review-page as the guy of the page named above has done it. Thanks a lot for your help. Jochen
one more question: Does the Theme work with the Amazon Product in a place Plugin?
Hello Jochen,
If you use WooCommerce Plugin, buttons will be added according to product type. For example, if it is a simple product, you will see “Add to cart” button. If it has a price variant and is for sale, it will show “Select Options” button.
If you do not use WooCommerce, you can add custom buttons as shown on this page.
Amazon products can be added using WooCommerce plugin and extensions like the following:

Evening,
Seems I updated to WooCommerce 2.0.10 and a layout issue occurred. They said to go here, http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/ and mess with the PHP, which Im not that familiar with. Any help?
Thanks! Nick
Hello nicholaspascale,
The theme was updated for WooCommerce 2.0+. Kindly update your theme to latest version so that it runs good with WooCommerce 2.0+. Layout issues were basically caused due to class name changes as of WC 2.0+. The latest version contains all these issues fixed.
Regards
Thank you & where is the best place to download the update? I could not find an area to update in the themes section. What would be the best next step?
Thanks! Nicholas
Hello Nicholas,
Updates are not automatic. You can re-download your theme archive from the downloads link of your account. After downloading, upload/replace theme files and folder with the new one. If you wish to update files selectively using FTP, you can find details inside version_details.txt file inside your download zip.
Regards
Good Afternoon,
I did just as you instructed replacing files selectively with the version_details.txt file with no change to layout issues. I am hesitant to re-upload and install the theme as new; if all the work I had done were lost I would be in much trouble. Please reference the link:
http://www.pascalemediamarkingproducts.com/product/pipemarker-custom/You can see where the page breaks strange and does not have the same appeal when first purchased. Please help.
Also, I am trying to register my themeforest purchase with WooCommerce using a Purchase ID. I have not been able to find a Purchase ID that works. Please help.
Best Nicholas
Hello Nicholas,
It seems you haven’t updated xing/woocommerce/woocommerce-custom.css file with the latest one. After updating this file, layout issues will be fixed.
Regarding ThemeForest purchase, I am not clear where you want to register it. WooCommerce is a free plugin and it is not required to register any purchase for that plugin. Kindly let me know if I am missing something.
Regards
I need to insert a google ad here
Hello jpBenfica,
That location is difficult for any editing purpose. You can insert advertisement above the button using Product Summary section, but showing ad below that button is difficult.
There is one way of overriding templates in which you can place the advertisement code inside core files. This ad will appear on all the products. If you wish to do so, copy the following file:
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php
And place this file inside xing theme folder as:
wp-content/themes/xing/woocommerce/content-single-product.php
Next, open this file in any code editor and place your advertisement code just before the closing “summary” div at line no. 52:
Your ad code here </div><!-- .summary -->
The only drawback is that this ad will appear on all the products.
Regards
Hello, I am having probelms with the contact page. I set up everything in the Xing dashboard with the correct email address but when I test it nothing comes through. Any suggestions? Also I’m not sure how to install the update. What file do I download and install? Thanks for your time.
Hello richmo58,
Contact form uses php mail() function which sends mail via your Hosting server’s mail service. If this service is working, contact form will work too. Kindly also check the spam folder of your inbox. You can also try by specifying an email address which is from known domain like gmail or yahoo. If this doesn’t work, you can send me your WP login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.
For updates, you can re-download entire theme and update the files as listed inside version_details.txt file. If you have not made any changes to core files, you can update entire theme with the new one.
Regards
