Sorry, probably I couldn’t explain properly. I would like to repeat the footer area in the exactly pattern you did it in your demo version to change later on with my items (did you used any third-party plugins?) Thank

Ah, no we didn’t use any third party plugins all the widgets used in the footer are included already. Have a look at the screenshot for our demo footer – http://cl.ly/image/210e3G0M3V1s – that should help you get started.

Thank you so much Have a Merry Christmas!!

Hi Brad,

You definitely can! Please have a look at the layout options – http://wpexplorer-demos.com/total/advanced-theme-panel/ – click on the “Layout” and “Responsive” screenshots (#2-#3) so you can see the available options. You can use both percentages or fixed widths for your container sizes

WOW! This is fantastic! Another great one and I will have this by the end of the week.

Thanks for responding and Merry Christmas

Awesome If you’ve used Thunder I think you’ll find Total really easy to work with.

Thank you and you have a Merry Christmas as well!

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such kind words. I really like hearing that!

Best of luck with your project and if you ever encounter an issue let me know and I’ll help ya out!

Great, I’m glad you like it! Thanks for the purchase

1. You would have to insert an image that is 2x the size you want displayed on the site. Or simply upload the image twice (the one you want to insert (image.png) and then a second one that is 2x larger and bas 2x at the end of the name (image@2x.png). Make sure in the theme panel under the image cropping tab you have the retina enabled.

2. Is there a certain Google font missing? We’ll be updating the list again because Google recently added new ones, so any missing fonts will be in the next update! If you want to load a new font for now you can add the @import for the Google font in the custom CSS tab in the theme panel.

Thank you. That’s a great function with @2x.

Reg. 2) Don’t know why, but I cannot see any Google Webfont in the drop down of the typography panel… Only the standard fonts like arial, tahoma and so on. Any ideas how to fix it?

Great!

That is very strange, you should be able to see them! Do you maybe have some kind of 3rd party Google plugin installed by chance that might conflict with the theme?

I’ll be updating the Google Font’s API shortly in the theme, if you want to send me a private message via my profile page I’ll email you the updated theme and maybe it will help. If you would like to also share your URL + Logins it might help me figure out why it’s not working.

If you edit any of the theme files it will override them. You really should use the custom css field in the theme panel or a custom css plugin or preferably a child theme for making your edits. Editing a parent theme is never really a good idea. I’ve developed this theme in a way that child theming should be a breeze though

Oh awesome, I’ll have a look at the button and add in the tweak in the next update – thanks!

Does a child theme affect load times at all? Are there any more HTML requests due to the fact that it loads default theming too? I’m trying to optimize the files in accordance to Google’s PageSpeed Insight’s and that was my main concern with using a child-theme.

I really appreciate your incredibly quick support! Thanks a bunch.

Child themes don’t affect load times (or at least not in any way really noticeable)

If you are concerned about server requests you could look into using a minifying plugin to try and lessen that. But also you can (via your child theme) dequeue the default style.css and then dump the css into your child theme so it doesn’t load that extra one.

Hi there,

I actually changed the tooltip to face the inside in version 1.01, I just haven’t cleared my live demo cache Thanks for letting me know, I’ll do that!

Share icons are placed below the posts as you can see in the boxed style. It’s a pretty simple CSS edit:

.social-share-title { display: block; }
.blog-entry .social-share-buttons { display: none; }
.social-share-title { margin: 40px 0 15px; }
.social-share-title span { background: #fff; padding-right: 15px; }
.social-share-buttons { position: inherit; top: auto; left: auto; width: auto; height: auto; }
#content-wrap.left-sidebar .social-share-buttons { right: auto; left: auto; }
.social-share-buttons li { float: left; border: none; }
.social-share-buttons li a { color: #999; width: 30px; height: 30px; line-height: 30px; display: block; border: 1px solid #e4e4e4; margin: 0 5px 0 0; }

And of course you can disable these and then use a 3rd party plugin if you prefer.

Thanks! I’m glad you like it

The read more is a part of the Visual Composer Extension so it should be localized in that plugin. However, you should also be able to change the read more text when inserting the module, did I maybe forget that option?

Great I’m glad! Thanks for the purchase.

1. Unfortunately no. The reason I didn’t add that was because WooCommerce does have shortcodes built-in so I figured people would use those if they needed more customized layouts for their categories.

However…I’ll look into adding the left/right/full layouts to the product categories in the next update, why not I put it down on my “WunderList”.

2. In the theme panel under “Image Cropping” make sure it’s enabled at the top. Then change the values for “WooCommerce Category Entry: Image Width” and “WooCommerce Category Entry: Image Height”.

I added it here because I use a custom function for cropping images that won’t require regenerating your thumbnails

3. By default there is a built-in meta option for disabling on pages – http://cl.ly/image/3c2j0P0l2p2K – but no built in option for disabling on a per/category basis. However, the theme uses a function for the callout visibility so you can easily disable it by adding a little function to your child theme if using it. Please see functions/footer-callout.php

I guess I figured if people wanted to get that specific with the callout they would just disable it site wide. Or you can add the function to your child theme if you want to for example only display on the homepage, it would be pretty simple.

ok, fair enough -

1.Not sure I know how to use the Woo shortcodes to customize the layouts – any links or info you can point me to?

Also I tried to update the LayerSlider plugin but it says the code is invalid? Any suggestions?

thanks!

1. You can have a look at the Woocommerce shortcodes here: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/

These can be placed into any page, then control the layout with the standard page settings.

2. If you are trying to add the code for the theme purchase it won’t work you would have to buy LayerSlider for auto updates. If you want though I can send you the updated plugin. Just send me a private message and I’ll email over the zip!

Hi there,

I didn’t add the social options in the header on purpose to keep the header clean and well designed. But I did include a social widget which you can add to your footer as well as you could use your footer menu on the bottom right for your social.

Header style 3 is also the centered logo header, it could be cool to have some social icons right under the logo maybe. I’ll look into adding that option in the next update but you can always add your icons directly in headers/header-three.php.

People have also been requesting a top bar so I’ll also be adding a top bar with a left/right widgetized area people could use to add social icons, menus, text, etc in the next update.

If you need some further instruction for how to add your HTML into the header file for your social icons just let me know!

Thanks a lot buddy. I LOVE your Visual Composer. And really appreciate your support!

Hi there,

What are your plans with the photos. The theme itself should be fine, the more important thing is thinking about your server capabilities (speed and space).

One thing that is good about this theme is we use a script for resizing images using the WordPress resizer function, but it doesn’t require you to “regenerate” your thumbnails. That means you won’t have to do a giant re-cropping of 2 million images, which you’ll probably have to do on a lot of other themes.

Also total comes with a page builder for creating your layouts so you can add your images anywhere as long as they are in your media library. No need to re-upload or “attach” them.

Hope that helps. Just let me know if you have other questions!

Thanks for the purchase!

Oh darn, I think there is a small bug if the homepage is set to display the latest posts. Want to send me a private message via my profile page so I can help you out via email and send you an updated file if necessary?

Sorry for the bug ;( Thank you so much for reporting it!

Awesome, thanks!

I feel like I recognize your name, have you purchased other themes of mine? If so, thanks for the continued support!

Any Chris, the way we created the menu was like this (hope that helps)

• Created new menu at Appearance->Menu
• Used the free WooSidebars plugin to create a new sidebar area
• Added the menu via the WP Menu widget at Appearance->Menu to the sidebar area created by WooSidebars which is applied only to certain pages.

Let me know if that doesn’t help! You can also send me a private message with your site URL and logins if you want me to help you setup a dummy example for you to edit.

Its possible your server permissions are really strict so you might have to install it manually. You should find links to where you can download the zip in the downloadable zip. If not, please send me a direct message and I’ll send it over via email right now

Thanks for your message. I have same problem with other plugins as well. Visual Composer Extension, Layer Slider.

As per your suggestion, I will try to install manually so please send them via email.

Message sent I actually assumed you might have issues with all of them so I sent all the links to you.

I’m not quite sure what you mean, do you want to exchange the breadcrumbs with a default WP menu?

or atleast replace it with a menu created under menus

oh yes, thats what I meant. We’ll if you look at functions/breadcrumbs.php you can see the breadcrumbs are their own custom function wpex_breadcrumbs() so via your child theme you make this function return a custom menu instead of the breadcrumbs.

We did actually test on the beta, but like always the Full version might have some changes, so we’ll definitely re-test once it’s released. Of course we’re going to provide support for WP 3.8.

Thanks!

We are actually on vacation right now for a few more days. We’ll try and release the HTML version either at the end of December or in January.

Thanks for the purchase!

1. Darn, I actually made a small mistake with how I’m targeting the retina logo. Its a super easy fix and will be in the next update.

If you have a look at functions/retina-logo.php wherever it says ”#masthead .logo img” it should have said ”#site-logo img”.

Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know!

2. Are you using header style 2 or 3 by chance? I do see a small bug in those two, Sorry! I’ll also add this to the next update. Thanks for letting me know! If you want to know the code to edit before the update goes out let me know. But we’ll push it out a bit later this week, because we want to test the theme well with the release of WP 3.8 and don’t want to bug you guys with possibly 2 updates in a span of a few days

Great, thanks for the quick reply. Retina is now working with fix, will wait for update of WP 3.8.

Great, I’m glad that works. Sorry for my initial mistake! And thanks for helping me fix this

You can access it on your phone at wpexplorer-demos.com/total. Or you can simple re-size your browser while viewing the demo because its a responsive theme.

Thank you so much for the timely response . I’ve purchased the theme and look forward to digging into it!
