Hi, I had a question: I like how you have configured the contact form. Having added contact form 7 I tried to emulate how you have done it on the demo page but I can’t figure it out. Could you help me out? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

please, take a look to the documentation. There you will find within the “Other demo pages” area (Dummy content section), all you need to create a form equal to the demo.

In case you could have any doubt after that, do not hesitate to open a support ticket and we will try to help closer. But I think that we can´t be more specific than in the documentation with screenshots and details ;)

actually I’ve been too hasty and hadn’t realize that most of my questions could be answered by checking the documentation :) (who would’ve thought?). Sorry for that, and thanks for redirecting me to the documentation.

hi, is it possible to translate the menue, for example into swedish? probably a stupid question because the theme is wüml comaptible, but i just ask because of the words in the background of the menue. by the way, is it possible to change the colour of the background words / menu? How many pages can the menue display?

Hi,

the theme is localizable to your own language, for this feature you have available the .po files inside the languages folder. In this sense, the menu´s items can be created by you once you are creating your menu, so this options will appear directly on your language. But a well and optimized configuration would need a complete localization of the theme.

You can modify directly from the option panel the background color for the menus and the color for the items/navigation. It is really easy, a color picker will make the job.

Hope it will help and thank you very much about your interest in Flamingo! :)

Hello

I agree with the latest comment by MacJosetty. Archive and Sitemap templates are welcome.

Regards

We will have the proposal into account for next updates :)

Great Theme!

Wishlist for the Future:

1. Archive Template

2. Sitemap Template

3. LastFM and APP.net Social Button

We will have into account the new template options for next updates. And we are adding new social options to the footer social area within the next update too.

You will notified each time the theme will be updated adding new features or improving some other parts.

Best, Van.

Greetings,

Great work once again, I’m looking forward to working with Flamingo, just a couple questions before I purchase.

1.) Can a search bar widget be added? 2.) Can Vimeo and YouTube videos be added to project pages?

Thanks again

Hi Unda!

I must to say that I don´t understand well the first question, do you mean a search box within the sidebars? In this case, yes, you can enable the in-built search box on “sidedbar” pages.

About videos query, you can add any of these supported formats. For this just add a “media player” widget from the page builder. It is quick & easy.

Hope it will help and thank you very much about your interest in Flamingo,

Nice to greeting you again! :)

Very nice and modern concept. Good luck mate :):)

Thanks, mate! :):)

Hello,

Is this working with accordeon for example?

Hi,

you can include in a very easy way any of these widgets, between them you will find an accordeon. All of these elements are directly managed by the page builder. Just select it and place it in your page. It can´t be easier :)

If you have more doubts, don´t hesitate to follow this same thread using the ‘reply’ button. Thanks!

Great! Thank you very much for having let me know about this!

Hello,

I am planning to buy the theme, but I want to make you noticed some things.

I used IE : - on the main page, at the bottom, the social small bar, does not work as it should be. Seems totally broken. I discovered as it should be with using Chrome. - You give this on the description: http://demo.themeforesters.com/theme/flamingo-agency/portfolio/la-belle/. At the top of this page, you have three icons (two appearing on rollover – show content, fullscreenview, etc). It does not work also on IE as it should.

Just wanted to let you know. Hope you don’t mind. ;-)

Hi mat,

the site is correctly tested in IE8/IE9/IE10 before being published and these options were working correctly. Right now I have tested it again, and everything looks to be in its place in this sense in the 3 browsers.

Please, could you detail us which IE version are you running and your Windows version?

Of course I don´t mind, in fact we need to know these details in order to fix any detail it could appear. Son thank you very much for it! :)

Thanks a lot about your interest in Flamingo!

Hello again;

I’m sure you tested it, that is why I came to let you a message.

I made you some screencaps. I am using Vista and IE9. - la belle: http://s14.postimg.org/rvkc7qnnl/labelle.png (with the mouse on the middle icon). - social bar: http://s23.postimg.org/u9ee8nv97/labelle2.png. With chrome, on mouse over the icons, it goes to a coloured lozenge. Not at all with IE, all is black.

For information, the top image is with IE, the one after with Chrome. As you can see, it looks totally different and is not acting the same way.

I hope it is helping to understand what I said – I don’t know if I am very clear. Let me know if not.

Cheers!

Hi!

I see, and this is weird. I´m almost sure that it is a Vista issue. This is not the best Windows version someone can use. I´m seeing there that this IE9 version is not rendering correctly the backgrounds for these elements that use some basic CSS3 rules. But in my IE9 Windows 8 based it renders correctly. So in this sense we will wait a little to have more feedback in this way.

Thank you very much for reporting this detail!.

Fantastic theme! I love it!

Quick question…...I’ve been using it for a client project and noticed the buttons to scroll down on all the pages (except Home) aren’t working on the iPhone. Not sure if this is just happening on mine or if other people are experiencing this too. I did update my iPhone to iOS 7.0.4 earlier today and not sure if that has anything to do with it?? Would appreciate your help

Hi dsquared,

please, read this thread about this iOS issue.

We hope it will be fixed/improved the next coming week :)

Thank you for responding!

Ok, back again, do love the theme but was waiting for this to happen. The loader and configs were too deep to eventually not break. I just added the post slider widget and number of slides and BAM “error”. My entire site is down now and all that is displayed is a white screen on a simple “error” message in the top left of the page. And to reiterate, my entire site is down and have no idea how to even see what the error is. Thanks. bobleland.com

Hi bleland,

make sure you are activating the featured projects check within each project in order to activate it for being used within the slider. If not, the slides can´t be enabled correctly.

Anyway, open a support ticket and we will take a look closer to it in order to understand better this issue.

Thanks Bob!

Hi I’m happy the update seems very good but the live preview seems always the same Normal ? Thanks

Hi,

the live preview is updated, you can see now how the navigation arrow between projects are not working exactly in the same way, for example. Notice that the fixes are minor issues, for example, the secondary blog pages had a couple of layout errors that were fixed too.

These modifications don´t represent any huge change on the look and feel of theme. This is not the goal in this sense.

Hope it will help!

Nice theme! My customer prefers dark style of site. Is it possible to select dark/light style easily for him? Also some footer area will be well for him too. Thank you!

Thanks for your answer! The pre-install dark version (with switch in option panel dark/light) sounds better, than some modifications with CSS, because usually it is required to modify all graphic elements of theme too in order to get the beautifull view of dark styled theme. Can you kindly add this possibility in the update sometime in future? It will be very well for your brilliant Flamingo theme!

Also I must agree with matvej comment in the next page, all what he said is true. My test IE is 9.0.20 under win7/64. Hope, it is easy for fixing.

Thank you for answer in advance, it is important for me.

OK, we will study the light/dark option within next updates. While we´ll be reviewing issues like this one you comment about IE that we will fix. But it is really weird because I can reproduce it in Windows 8 with IE8/IE9/IE10 render engines with standards enabled.

Thank you for encouraging response! I’m going to discusse about all answers with my customer in this Monday. Hope, I come back ASAP for buying such beautifull theme!

Hi, created a slide and uploaded an image for it and when I refreshed the page, the loader spinner just goes and goes and goes and the page never loads. I deleted the slide in case the image was just too big, 1920px wide 400k (I know – big) but even after I deleted the slide the loader spinner just is stuck. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Scrpa that, sorry, It just stared working. I wonder if it was my host?

It could be your server response, yes. But in any case, if you are experiencing some issue with this, just open a private support ticket and provide us with your url admin/pass to your installation and we will review this closer.

The slider is working correctly, in fact, it is running big images. Try to optimize more your images if needed.

Let us know, ok?

incredible work. how about making it available as html so the rest of us non-wordpress folk can enjoy your work?

Hi dhrylanton,

Are You KIDDING ME with Thi$ Insanely AMAZING, Beautiful #NEXTLEVEL WP design? I am ALL about details and incredible TRUE talents and THIS BLEW ME AWAY (and I only say that once I jump to the mobile view, was just as gorgeous on my iphone5s flow.. NEVER have seen dimension, fixed backgrounds and fluidity like this AND uniquely top notch design ALL in one) wow… jumping out of bed 1am in LA to grab my debit card NOW!!

Wow! Thank you, buddy! I hope you will enjoy working with Flamingo. If you could have any doubt, do not hesitate to open a support ticket. We will try to help as better as possible.

Thanks a lot for using Flamingo! :)

GRT Theme, and easy to setup even! Curious if you received my support msg?

Hi Sterling!

I´m not sure if I left something yesterday. In that case, please, let me know the ticket ID and I will take a look to it! :)

Hi there, really like the work you’ve done. I had a question: I really liked the way the menu worked in your demo. You could see the word of the page in the background like “About” and “Home”, etc. and you see the color change. Is there a way I could use something similar that is included in the download? or do I have to work this out on my own? Thank you and keep up the good work.

lol never mind, I’m an idiot. I had the menu background set to black, so the menu titles were not visible :).

No problem! If you have any other doubt, remember that we have a support place in order to assist you. :)

Flamingo has been updated to v1.1

This update contains:
  • Add: WPML support
  • Add: Opened navigation (menu layout 4)
  • Add: Option to remove the hover actions within the menus
  • Add: XML with dummy content (images from the demo are replaced by placeholders)
  • Improved: Pagination between projects
  • Fix: Secondary level blog layout issues
  • Fix: Headers/Projects headers issue when minimal layout is enabled
  • Fix: Responsive iframes on block contents

OK, I definitely fell in love with this theme and I’ll get it. Just a last question: When viewing the site on the iPhone the arrow button on top of the site (for example go to BLOG and click the arrow button under the text “FRED NOW IN THE KITCHEN.”) doesn’t work. It just changes the color but doesn’t scroll down to the text as it does on a desktop PC. Has this already been fixed with the version you just deployed? Thank you & keep on making such wonderful themes!

Hi Chris,

this is one of the points we are working after the new update (it will be ready in few hours). This occurs due to an iOS bug, not Safari. iOS can´t manage correctly fullscreen images to fit as they should do with the backgrounds, so first we needed to fix this issue. To achieve it we needed to modify the way iOS interprets the site inside the ‘viewport’. This is the reason because the scroll does not recognize correctly its function. It loose the reference of the page height due to the fix for a simple feature like the fullscreen background is. You can Google about this issue.

We would like to find the better solution without go in deep modifications that could affect to the other environments only for this detail, overall because it is not a problem of the theme, it is a iOS problem. But in our hands is to fix it as better as possible.

The site is working well from a cross-browser view and it has a well support on devices. Touch gestures and keyboard inputs too for elements like sliders or inner galleries. Everything looks smooth on devices. We are working to improve until the last little detail :)

Best, Van.

Do you think it’s worthwhile doing an alternative demo, with different content to show what’s possible?

The only reason I say this, is that the images although fabulous are quite arty, in the real world not everyone’s portfolio is this creative, be interesting to see a different take on the artwork :-)

In few days, while we are receiving them, we will publish a little showcase with sites using Flamingo. I have seen a couple of them that the look really amazing. And they are from the real world, I´m asure you! :)

Remember that a portfolio goal is to show works and projects. It is your presentation card as creative. Flamingo architecture and design just propose some ways to show them.
