Can I use 1 product for my 2 websites?

Hello atid55,

It will be required to have one regular license per usage. You can find more details on http://themeforest.net/licenses

Hello,

I have a question. How can I change the home variation of the NewPlus forest theme after installing it?? I guess I’ve installed the wrong variation, but I wanted to get the home variation 3. Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Hello brightside3,

If the post is “Video” post format, and the video URL is provided inside post options panel, it will automatically show video embed in two-col, three-col and carousel short codes. However, it will not show video thumbnail in small post lists. For that it will be required to upload a featured image to that post. This featured image can be a screen shot of video.

Regards

Hi SaurabhSharma,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help and information :) It works now and looks really nice :)

Kind regards

You’re welcome. :)

Hi,

Thanks again for the great theme.

Im having trouble inserting a “big-list” into a content slider. Is this something that the theme can handle?

When I load the page, I just get loading bar.

Heres the shortcode Ive tried.

[slider]

[slide]

[insert_posts cats=”” num=”1” display_style=”list-big” offset=”0”]

[/slide]

[/slider]

Thanks!!

Eric

Hello Eric,

The shortcodes are correct. I just tested it at my end. You can try the following code:

[slider effect="slide"]

[slide]

[insert_posts cats="" num="2" display_style="list-big"]

[/slide]

[slide]

[insert_posts cats="" num="2" display_style="list-big" offset="2"]

[/slide]

[/slider]

This will show two slides each with two posts in it. If your slider is showing loading icon infinitely, may be there is some other script on page which is not loading. Like, a FB or twitter script. After using this code, kindly send me your site URL. I will further check it.

Regards

Hi, This seemed to work! I have a feeling there may have been some extra characters or formatting in the visual editor. I pasted this into the code view, and it worked fine. My other code worked fine once I pasted it into the code view as well. Strange! Thanks for your fast reply, I really appreciate it!!

Hello Eric,

That’s great. Inside “Visual” mode of editor, some special characters get converted into rich text which doesn’t render as code. In that case, re pasting the fresh markup in Text mode works.

I want to hide the header banner when it gets responsive. So only people on a desktop/laptop see the banner. How can I do that?

Hello Johnny,

You can add this rule at the end of user.css file:

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.header-widget-area { display: none; }
}

Regards

Hello How can i set the look for the site as in preview

Hello webshops,

For basic setup and configuration, kindly refer to the initial steps in documentation file. For exact pages as on live demo, you can use the dummy markup as inside your_download_zip/dummy_data/home.txt file.

Important: For support requests please post comment from the account from which you purchased the theme.

Hi,

This is regarding the gallery pages, the slideshow not working correctly anymore.

Can you please look at the url: http://femininecollective.com/test-post/

This website is not live, can you please remove my post or send me an email address so we can discuss this?

Thank you.

Hello spectodesign,

It seems there is only one featured image attached to that post. It will be required to attach multiple images so that they appear in form of a gallery. This can be done by creating a gallery for this particular post only. If you have already done this correctly, kindly send me your WP login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it.

Hello again, since we did not have many comments on the old Joomla Familothek.de-Site, we would like to suppress the comment count on widgets as well as blog view. Could you please advise me how to do it. Thank you very much. Anna Maria

Hello Anna,

Kindly add these rules at the end of style.css or user.css file:

.entry-meta .comments-link,
.entry-meta .post-comment,
.entry-meta .comment-sep {
    display: none;
}

Regards

Dear SaurabhSharma. It worked. Thank you very much for this and for all other support you provided. Awesome theme, awesome support. You are the best. If I can rate you well somewhere else, let me know. I’ll be glad to do so. Kind regards Anna Maria

Hello Anna,

Thanks so much for kind words and feedback. I’m glad I could help. You can rate the theme inside your downloads section. :)

Hi again form Germany. I am translating the language_de_DE.po file with poedit. Lots of entries are only backend related. We do not need any translations for those. If I leave them untranslated, would the entries appear in English in the backend or would they not appear at all. That means: may I skip those translations or not? Thank you for a quick advise. Regards from Munich Anna Maria

Hi, thank you for the promt reply. I did it, but still I do not get an entry in the poeditor or in the plugin where I can set the translation for the plural. There should be a new entry to translate, should it not? Thank you for your help. Regards Anna Maria

Hello Anna,

Once the plural forms are set, it will automatically show two strings for translation. That appears when you click on “One thought on “%2$s”” text. At the bottom of PoEdit screen you will see two text areas; one for singular and another for plural form. If there is any confusion, kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you screen shots.

Regards

thanks, just sent you a mail.

We seem to have trouble to get a slideshow on a single post (gallery type) page. Posts created 3+ weeks ago seem to be still fine, however new pages only show one slide of a slideshow (only one

  • item is present). The thumbnails on the bottom are all there. Wordpress 3.8 using a child theme with style.css and index.php
  • Hello spectodesign,

    Kindly send me the URL of that particular post. I will check the slide show.

    Regards

    Me again, do you also have a widget to randomize posts in a widget? I had a look at line 40 in includes -> widget recent posts but I am not good enough at programming to create a new random windget (we need random as well as most recent for different purposes). I would very much appreciate your help. Kind regards Anna Maria Stranieri

    Indeed, it does :-) Can I get it to show thumbnail and excerpt or text beginning? Which display style would that be? Thank you, Anna Maria

    Hello Anna,

    It automatically shows thumbnail if the post has a featured image. Post excerpt will not be shown because it is not coded in this short code. (Not in widget too). For that if you use display_style=”one-col” in short code parameter, it will show a big thumbnail and post excerpt. The heading sizes may appear slightly big which can be adjusted in CSS. The short code will look like:

    [insert_posts display_style="one-col" excerpt_length="80" num="" cats=""]

    Next, inside user.css you can change heading size for this short code as:

    #sidebar .one-col h3 { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; }

    Regards

    Thank you. it worked out just fine. Regards, Anna Maria

    Hello from Germany, we are implementing your theme for a parenting website, which we heve migrated from Joomla (with K2). Everything worked out quite fine. On some posts I still do have some description above the header bar. Pls. see here: http://www.familothek.de/wordpress/kinder-flohmarktbesuch-planen.html/ or here http://www.familothek.de/wordpress/medienkonsum-begrenzen-tipps-aus-dem-elternalltag.html/

    Pls. let me know how can I get this description above the header bar out of the way.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Kind regards Anna Maria Stranieri

    Hello Anna,

    Thanks for purchasing the theme. I have checked the live site and it seems that the OG tags for FB sharing are loaded twice. Since these tags are already loaded by Yoast plugin, it will be required to disable them from theme’s functions.php file. For that kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, or you can add this line at the end of functions.php file:

    <?php remove_action( 'wp_head', 'add_facebook_open_graph_tags', 99 ); ?>

    If you find any difficulty, kindly send me a mail.

    Regards

    Dear SaurabhSharma, thank you ver much for the prompt reply. Indeed that was the problem. I added the line and it worked fine. Thank you again and have a great day!

    Hi design & develop team.

    I want to ask you about this theme can be apply for buddypress?

    Thanks!

    Hello hieutt,

    Thanks for purchasing the theme. It will be required to install BuddyPress plugin. Next you can create forum, activity and other pages via plugin. No extra setting or CSS is required for theme compatibility.

    Regards

    We just implemented this theme for talkinglabs.com (V1s1on180 password to view), and I can’t separate the different post categories in the homepage layout (version 2) or the blog. Can you please advise how to do this? I want all the layouts within version 2 to show up, but I just need to know how to assign categories to each of the different sections.

    Hello zincteam,

    Right now you might have copied Home variation 2 data inside the Home page. Open / edit this page and look for the post and slider short codes. Inside each short code you will see category parameter as cats=”xx”. This xx is the numeric category ID from which you want to show posts. I have covered this information inside the documentation file’s section 6. Create Home Page > Editing the contents of Home page.

    If you find any difficulty after going through the instructions in documentation, kindly send me your site login and desired categories to show in each section. I will set it up. :)

    Regards

    Where does all the user info details such as the name, url and social links show up? (Show Author Bio: has been checked)

    Hello spectodesign,

    If Author bio is enabled from theme options, make sure the Author information is filled inside Users > Your Profile > Biographical Info section. Social sharing links can be enabled from Appearance > Theme Options > Blog > Social sharing button settings.

    Regards

    Hi, the dropdown menu is not working (on your demo page it isn’t working either). Thanks

    Hello Stefan,

    The drop downs work fine at my end. However, there are some validation and console errors related to FB plugin, twitter plugin and Clicky feature. Though these errors do not relate with hover state of menus, I would suggest deactivating FB and twitter plugin for a while and check the site again.

    Regards

    Thanks for your reply. At my end, the drop downs only work in Firefox, not in Safari or Chrome. I deactivated the plugins, but the situation didn’t change…

    Hello Stefan,

    Kindly send me your WP login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I suspect it could be a CSS hover bug for webkit/Safari. I will check and fix it.

    Regards

    Hi, thank you for awesome theme! I have a question. When I try to load this theme on mobile the height of my images unusual. Where I could fix it? Thanks. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4341363/Photo%20Dec%2026%2C%207%2018%2034%20PM.png

    ps I use CDN

    Hello temasilentboy,

    Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback. Image height issue can be fixed by either updating to latest version of style.css, or by adding these rules at the end of style.css file:

    img.size-full,
    img.size-large,
    img.header-image,
    .wp-post-image,
    .post-thumbnail img,
    .entry-content img,
    img[class*="align"],
    img[class*="wp-image-"],
    img[class*="attachment-"] {
        height: auto;
    }

    Regards

    I have latest style.css from Version 1.0.7, but it is’t help

    I’m done with your css corrections and it helps me. Thank you!

    Hello I buy this theme today (newsplus), downloaded, read the manual, start to edit, but i’ve some questions and need some help. Do you have a ticket system or a email to send my questions?

    Hello Samuel,

    Thanks for purchasing the theme. You can send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. Kindly also send your site URL so that I can check the issues.

    Regards

    Hi, once i add new socials, like G+ or Delicious into “social icons” widget i get lead to my main url instead of G+ Delicious etc? I added twitter and FB links too into widget and working normally. You can check my site and see: http://spiritvibes.net/

    Thanks

    Hello marelica,

    The Google+ URL seems empty inside widget options. Kindly open the widget and make sure you have provided a full URL to your G+ profile. Same is for other buttons too.

    Important: After making these changes, clear the plugin cache of W3 Total. It is likely that the site is still showing old cached pages.

    Regards

    Thanks a lot

    Hi, I am using v.5. I don’t seem to be able to assign posts to display in the layout categories (i.e., lifestyle, videos, etc.). They all appear under “Headline”. Please advise if I have to rename the “cats”.

    Thanks.

    Hi, no worries. Though how do I get rid of posts that appear at the end of the home layout in blocks of pic excerpts?

    Hello Shanyi,

    Thanks for purchasing the theme. The elements of Home page can be removed by editing the Home page in editor. For that, navigate to Pages > All Pages > Home. Open this page and switch to “Text” mode of editor. Next, delete the shortcodes which you do not want to show on Home page.

    Right now I am not sure which Home page markup you are using, so I can tell more by looking at the site URL.

    Regards

    Post excerpts of Home page which not work well in Chinese characters. help!

    Hello laowei2002,

    Thanks for purchasing the theme. For Chinese characters, use word length option in short codes. For that, open / edit your Home page and look for post short codes and slider short codes. Inside each short code, use a parameter as shown below:

    [insert_posts use_word_length="true" excerpt_length="15" num="" cats=""]

    By applying use_word_length=”true” excerpt_length=”15”, it will show excerpt of 15 words. Same can be used in slider and carousel short codes too.

    For using word length in archives, navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Blog > Archive Settings > Use word length in archive excerpts. Enable this option and save settings.

    Regards
