I am considering this template for an ebook I am selling on Amazon, Itunes etc. I don’t need an extended licence for this.. Do I?
Terry
Hi Terry,
No you don’t need an extended license for that.
Hi again Erik! Now I am logged in on my other account (my other is pokerali), where i purchased the template. Just to clarify, it was Contact Form 7 I requested, not just any contact form. Would love to see it implemented.
Hi ObadjaAB,
Thanks for your purchase! I mentioned a working basic ajax/php contact form which is a hard coded one, true. I’m working on an update which will be ready for Contact Form 7, it’ll be up in a few days i hope. Until then, you can edit includes/fb_mailer.php to fit your needs.
Hi Erik, Thank you very much for your effort. I look forward to the next update with Contact Form 7 integration:)
Ok, it will late a bit i have so much work to get done before christmas, but i’ll do my best to upload it as soon as possible.
Hi Erik,
Does the purchase of this theme include a license to these background images: 1. http://eriktailor.com/flatbook/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/overlay_bg.png 2. http://eriktailor.com/flatbook/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/slider_bg.jpg
Thanks!
Hi mcyger001,
Thanks for your purchase. Actually those were left in the download from the demo version, i’m working on an update at the moment which will include licensed background images made by me.
Thanks, Erik. Can you post a reply when they are ready? May I ask for an approximate timeframe so I can plan my site launch accordingly?
It may take a few days until the update will be available directly from ThemeForest, but i have the image part done already. If it’s urgent, you can give me your email address i can send you my photos so you can update them in your theme.
Hi, How do I actually connect the purchase button on the site to get customers purchase details and shipping information to sell a book and get them to pay via paypal? Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your purchase! You can add your link at Appearance > Theme Options > Slider. After you’ve added slides, open them and look for the button link’s field.
Hi! I would also request that Contact Form should be implemented in this template! That would be really good!
Hi,
A working ajax / php contact form is included with this template 
Nice, but can it be customized from the backend? I purchased the template from another account, and it seems like the contact form is hard coded?
I purchased and downloaded this theme, followed the directions in the help file, and “Import Demo Content” but it’s not displaying like your demo site. It’s showing the homepage as a list of blog entries. Do you offer any support to straighten it out?
Hi,
Thanks for your purchase! Actually it is written in the documentation too, but here’s what you have to do: change the front page display option from Latest Posts to Home.
You can do that in Settings > Reading > Front Page Display in the wordpress admin menu.
I figured it out. The instructions didn’t tell me to go to the Settings > Reading admin area and select “Front page displays” to “A static page” > Home. That fixed it.
Another question: how do I get the icons in the menu next to the options, as is the case on your sample sites like http://livrebitcoin.com/ and http://consullting.com/?
Please read the documentation, it is also mentioned in the Menus section.
Rats. Now you busted me for not reading the docs. 
Almost everything is documented regarding the basic usuage and features, but if you have any specific questions let me know and i’ll do my best to assist.
Thanks for your quick responses. That’s impressive!
Your welcome 
Hi, I have purchased the HTML version of this template and was wondering if the WordPress version was compatible with third party plugins like: Contact Form 7 or Revolution Slider? Cheers!
It is compatible with all wordpress plugin but you may style it a bit in css, it depends on the content of the plugin. Regarding Contact Form 7, i’m planning to add integration to my next update.
That’s great news! Do you have an approximate release date at this stage?
Actually it isn’t a mayor enhancement, can be done in a few hours. At the moment I don’t have other requests or issue solutions to be included in the update, so i would like wait a bit more to collect more requests and include all of them in the next update 
Thank you so much! It worked.
Have a nice holiday!
Your welcome 
Hi Erik,
Is there a simple way I can move the contact form from the bottom up under the slider?
Thank you – really awesome theme!
Kenneth
Thanks for your purchase! Actually i’m on holiday now so unfortunately i can’t check it at the moment but you can try to move the call for the contact form section in template-home.php below the call for the slider section.
Let me know if it worked, later i can check it for you.
Unfortunately it didn’t work. But know I know where I can order most of the parts of the home page 
Think the contact form is a part of the footer.
I’m not in a hurry – so just enjoy your holiday!
Kenneth
Thanks for your patience. You’re right, it was in the footer. Please follow the steps to place the contact section below the slider:
- Open footer.php and cut out line 5-71.
- Paste it at the end of slider.php after everything else
Hi Erik, I have a problem with the “includes / what you will learn”. If “fully responsive” has three lines of description text and “unlimted colors” has two “unique flat design” slips to the right (where “15 minutes set up” should be) thanks in advance best stephan
Hi stephangast,
Thanks for your purchase! It is a bug I’ll add it to the update list. Until then you can handle it by adding this to the style.css file:
.eight.columns.include-box.animated.fadeInLeft {
clear: left;
}
Thanks again – looks good now!
Your welcome.
Hi Erik, how do I add more than four features in the pricing table? Thanks in advance Stephan
Thanks for your purchase! Actually it was designed to have a maximum 4 features, but you can add more manually like this:
1.) Add this code to the bottom of style.css file:
.price-table li span {
display: block;
border-top: 1px dashed #E2E2E2;
}
2.) In the wordpress admin at Theme Options > Pricing > Features add another feature’s content in one of the fields with wrapping it in a span tag.
So for example, your first feature’s field would look like this:
This is a feature<span>Another feature</span>
great, thanks!
Your welcome 
I just got this, my questions are How can I keep the top menu open? and How do I change the links in the menu attributes such as the anchor tags in the hyperlink?
Plus can the slider automatically go to the next slide? What file to remove javascript to keep menu down?
Thanks for your purchase!
To keep the top menu always open, you have to edit the js/custom.js file and delete (or comment) the section from line 40-61.
Regarding the menu item links, if you have a section on the home page, it automatically add the proper link to the menu item. If you’d like to redirect to another separate page, you have to add a link menu type, and add the page’s link manually.
To enable autoplay for the slider, you have to edit slider.php at line 16, replace this:
data-cycle-timeout="0"
to this:
data-cycle-timeout="2000"
The amount is the slider speed in milliseconds.
Thank you. Regarding the menu link when I hover over the new page name which is now the menu item it want to go to #about-the-author i need it to be an anchor to the new page name so it scrolls to the correct page.
http://www.yoursite.com/pageB#about
ok I tried that here https://systemworksit.com/trueimpressions/?page_id=58#Testimonials and it goes to it but doesn’t nicely scroll the page…this is on windows server iis7
If I understand your problem correctly, it can scroll nicely only if your section (where you want to scrolls) in’t at the top of the page. For example, if there would be another section above your testimonials area, it would scroll nicely to it when the testimonials menu item is clicked at the home page.
no, I just changed the about-the-author page to say “about us” under pages in admin section the menu now says “about us” but when you hover over the menu hyperlink its still says #about-the-author. Thank you.
I see. Ok, try to delete the actual about us menu item from the admin and simply add again from the left. The reason of it is if you create a section and add “ABC” for it’s title, the theme will convert the menu item’s link for it to …#ABC.
I suggest to create your pages and sections first, and when you’re ready and you won’t change the page’s titles create the menu and it will work.
I am considering buying this theme. Some questions: - Can I maintain a blog page within this theme? What would a single post page look like? - Do you have a Mailchimp subscribe widget styled?
Hi,
This is how the blog looks like: http://eriktailor.com/flatbook-demo/blog/ and this is the single post: http://eriktailor.com/flatbook-demo/this-is-a-blog-post/
The MailChimp option isn’t a widget, it is a styled subscribe field in the contact section. You can choose between the basic contact form or the mailchimp subscribe field.
Ok, we’ll do you have WP themes that use eJunkie to download books to purchase?
No i don’t have.
Well how do customers download your ebook if it doesn’t work with e-junkie?
Since this wp theme doesn’t use Paypal for payment what payment source then?
Does it link with Amazon?
Well you can simply add a download button with a link for your ebook if it’s free. Otherwise it isn’t an ebook webshop theme, it is a marketing landing page to advertise ebooks and redirect to the page where the buyer can actually pay for it (e.g. with Paypal).
Hello, I love this crisp style. I have question. 1. Can I use e-Junkie and woocommerace here so the customers can download my ebooks
2. Can I sell more that one book here? How 3. Will this theme have Evanto / Themeforest logo on it? I don’t like that on my pages or footers.
4. Can the menu drop down be fixed to not drop down? 5. Can the slider be used to load up each of my many books? 6. Does this use pay pal 7. Are there any analytics on this WP theme?
Hello,
1.) FlatBook doesn’t have WooCommerce support yet, what means you can use it of course but the webshop elements aren’t styled in the theme’s style.
2.) The customization is up to your creativity 
3.) No, the TF/ Envato header is in the theme demo. This is how it looks by original: FlatBook
4.) Yes the menu can be forced to stay down with deleting one line in the javascript.
5.) Yes, you can add as many slides as you wish.
6.) No, you have to set up PayPal by yourself if you want to use it.
7.) It isn’t built in yet, but you can always add the analytics code in the footer.php bottom as usual.
Probably an easy fix, but I can’t seem to get all the sections to show up on the Homepage: Slider, Counter, Includes, Call to Action, etc…
They’re all filled out but my homepage is blank: http://ConSULLting.com
I already switched the Reading option to a static page…
Please help! Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your purchase! I guess you missed something. If you contact me via my profile’s contact form here and create a user for me I can check it on your site.
Ya, I did figure it out… However the homepage “Includes” from the Theme Options are all over the place and unorganized… Do you know how I can get those lined up properly?
http://consullting.comIt was designed for barely the same length of text. Try using about the same length of text for those elements, it will line up nicely and it’l look more aesthetic and well-organized.
Hi there!
Firstly thanks for the theme. Really like the simple design & ease of use.
I do have a few questions though if you don’t mind!
1) How can I remove the arrows from the slider, to simply have one slide?
2) Is it possible to add custom sections to the home page? For example if I create a page, and don’t use one of the existing templates, can it be included on the home page below the slider, or further down?
3) Do you have any plans to make color customization a bit easier on individual elements? For example the header menu, footer, and contact sections? Having only two color options is a little limiting!
Cheers
Hi jkeown,
Thanks for your purchase and kind words.
1.) I’ve already noticed this bug, I’ll provide a solution in the next update, until then you can simply delete line 8-10 in slider.php to remove the arrows manually.
2.) At the moment it isn’t possible but it’s a good idea, I’ll create an option for it in the update.
3.) Actually I like harmony in colors, I think it’s more aesthetic if there’s only 2-3 colors used in a theme. If you like to have it more colorful you can always edit the colors in the css file. If you tell me exactly what elements you’d like to recolor, I’ll tell you where to edit it in the main css file.
Thanks Erik. Do you have any idea when the custom pages on the home page feature will be set up?
One more thing – How can I change the Blog appearance? I’d like to change it from saying “The blog” to something else?
Appreciate the help!
I can’t promise an exact date at the moment as nowdays i’ll go on holiday, but i added it to my update to do list 
You can translate it with a plugin or by manually in single.php and index.php at line 08.
Sorry.. there is another problem with the contact form. Special characters are not encoded how they should: FROM: edith EMAIL: edith@domain.com PHONE: MESSAGE: ich hätte gerne Ihre bücher gekauft.
Thanks for your notice. Can you post the original message here (what isn’t display correctly) to let me play around it?
Hi,
following one original message. As you can see… all strange characters should be german “umlaute” like äöü…
FROM: Hüber EMAIL: user@domain.com MESSAGE: Umlautetest +äöü
Furthermore I have also huge spamproblems now… 30 – 70 mails every day only spam. As this form is custom coded, I think any antispam plugin won´t work. Isn´t it?
Please let me know how to handle both problems.
Thank you!
Please update the theme for the latest 1.2 version, Contact Form 7 plugin integration has been added, so you won’t notice neither of the mentioned issues above
Thanks
Hi, I think there is a bug in the slider. The second button link is not working. The first link (for the colored button) will be used also for the grey button – though they should be different. Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi,
Yeah that’s right. I’ll add this fix in the next update, until you can fix it in slider.php at line 37. Change this:
$fb_slide['fb_slide_btn_color_link']
to this please:
$fb_slide['fb_slide_btn_grey_link']
and it will work as it should. Thanks for your notice!
Thanks!
Update: this issue is solved since version 1.1.0
