One more issue…
I have created the menu. It is showing in the top navigation. Although, when I click the items the screen does not scroll down like the demo. Can you assist with this please?
Feel free to re-add the menu items with Link Type instead of adding Pages. For example, if you’d like to add a link to the “Samples” section, check the title of that section and use it as an anchor like this: www.yoursite.com/#my-samples-section-title and it will work.
I have tried this and it does not appear to work. Any other suggestions?
It’s working, maybe my instructions weren’t clear… Don’t worry, i’ll fix your menu too with the created user.
Excellent theme thus far!
I noticed there was an update on 1/26/14. Can you update us on what was in the update?
I also was curious if there was an easy way to change the “Choose a Chapter” text on the iPad portion of the page?
Thanks!
Another issue for that section that has come up is once you change the titles the text is expanding to another line. The double spacing is causing the other chapters to get pushed down to the next section. How can I limit the text from pushing down?
Hi and thanks for your purchase. You can view the FlatBook Changelog at the bottom of the item page. You can rewrite the “Choose a Chapter” title in template-samples.php at line 60. Regarding the chapter subtitle overflow issue i guess the title was too long what you’ve added, try using a title what fits the space of the boundaries. If it doesn’t fix the issue please provide a link to your site and i check it.
That worked great. A suggestion would be to include this field in the “Theme Options” section as not everyone is using this GREAT THEME for a book. Thanks!
Hi, I am looking at the template because I am intersted in buying it. Is it possible to change the order of the sections and is it possible to remove a section?
I also wold need to have social buttons at the begining of the page. Is it possible to add any buttons? Regards, Andi
Hi Andi, yes you can reorder the sections with changing 2 lines in the code, and only those sections will be visible what you add in the wordpress admin. I don’t know exactly where you’d like to add a social button, but i can help with it after your purchase if you stuck somewhere.
I’ve filled in information for the theme options but nothing is showing on my theme….

Hi Erik, So I am making decent progress in developing the site. Your design is very user friendly. But I am having some issues with my navigation bar. All of my elements are placed properly, but I when it comes to using the nav bar, I am not being taken to the respect places. Any ideas why?

Thanks, DM
Hi and thanks for your purchase. The menu item links are attached to the section titles, so the method is first create the sections and when you’re ready with everything, create the nav.
In your case the problem seems to be that the section titles and the nav links aren’t the same so for example if you create a new (link typed) menu item for the “Samples” section in the wordpress admin and add the url thegreatdeparture.com/#sample-this (like your “Samples” section title) it will be fixed.
Let me know how it worked. Cheers
I have a book that has to be read horizontally… is there a way to make that e-reader preview halfway down the page to be horizontal instead of vertical?
It can be relative easily done if you have some experience with html and css development. Unfortunately i can’t do this for you as a part of the item support, it counts as a special customization what I can do for you for a symbolic price in a few hours. If you’re intrested, please contact me via my ThemeForest profile’s contact form here.
Hello eriktailor,
please checkout http://test.stratena.sk – this is after importing the demo content :-C Please, could you help me that the site looks realy like the live preview ?
Hello and thanks for your purchase. You have to change the wordpress front page display from Latest Posts to Static Page and choose Home page from the dropdown. If you are not familiar with wordpress please read the documentation carefully, every step of the installion and customization is described in.
Hello. Very nice theme. I’m having some problems with the menu item and with the contact bar.
With the menu, some items work fine, but the author’s page will not work. I’ve tried deleting it and re-adding it, but it doesn’t work at all. Any thoughts?
I am using a mailchimp contact form, but I can’t get the bar to show up.
http://beyondaddictionbook.comThanks for your help.
Hello and thanks for your purchase. If you create a user for me and send the login details via my profile’s contact form here, i can check these issues directly on your site.
I have found this theme quite useful. However I have two issues: - The home page does not allow to add any custom page or section, but just sections shown in the demo. It’s customary for themes that come at similar price to allow the ability to create sections in the home page, reorder them, customize them. This is a major pain point for me. When do you plan to add more customization options to the theme? - The theme, although simple, is quite demanding on servers and especially the /includes/fb_colors.php file seems to be very demanding in processing power for hosting providers. Could it be optimized?
Hi and thanks for your purchase. I’ve already planned to include an option for a custom section in the home page, it will be added in the next update. Although it can’t be done via the wordpress admin, you can easily reorder the home page sections if you open template-home.php. I’m afraid i don’t really understand your request about optimizing fb_colors.php, can you describe it with a bit more details?
I look forward to the update. I would have no problem in editing the template files as long as it’s documented. Do you have an estimate on the next release?
I have a speed/loading time issue with my site. It seems like the fb_colors.php file has very slow loading times. I have seen the file and in my setup I could potentially make it a static file.
I would be curious to know your opinion about it: once the colors are defined is any of the dynamic logic inside the file needed for the site to work properly? Could it be used as a simple file with no php code in?
At the moment there are just a few requests for the next update, i would wait until the update’s to-do list will be a bit longer. I guess it will be approximately 3-4 weeks.
You’re right, this solution is needed for the possibility of the unlimited color variations as a theme. If you already know what color will be used in your site, there’s no need for the php.
And actually, the one thing I would recommend be added is “sharing buttons”, in addition to the already existing CTA. Of course, and this is what I did (www.operationcheesestorm.com), one can create such buttons and add them by way of a plugin but I had to persevere to have them properly positioned everywhere. This particular plugin is very good but, though there are quite a few choices in terms of customisation (colour, placement…), nothing beats something that’s already integrated, with more choices. For instance, the positioning I currently have works on all the platforms I use (iPad, iPhone, Mac, different browsers…), yet I am not certain I would have them everywhere, or exactly where I had to place them, see what I mean?
Having the Call To Action: “Buy Now” is important but one should include the possibility for the visitors to the site to “spread the word” and recommend whatever content… This is is the way it works these days and for me, it’s very important. I doubt I am the only one!
Chris
Thanks for the helpful suggestions, i’ll certanly consider adding these in the next update 
Hello everyone, I would like to mention how satisfied I am with both the template and the service I got from the designer. Not only does the template look good, it is indeed quite customisable (see my own use of it: www.operationcheesestorm.com) and is simply ideal when it comes to using it as a companion to a book launch. I was able to achieve this in 3 days, starting from zero with Wordpress. In addition, and when I felt I needed to contact the designer, I received feedback immediately, including yesterday, on a Saturday until close to midnight! If that isn’t service, then what is?
As a conclusion, I very much recommend purchasing this template. It looks fab, either as is, or customised, and the service one gets from the designer is top notch. Looking at the change log, I can also see that the template is maintained, and new features are added regularly. This bodes well for the future.
5 stars from me!
Chris
Hi Chris,
Many thanks for your kind words and reference, i’m glad you liked my theme and found the provided theme support useful
cheers
Hi Eriktailor,
You’re welc. Could you tell me how to add an image to the slider’s tablet/phone without erasing them?
D
Hi, thanks for your purchase! You can use Photoshop or you can use any basic image editor for this i believe.
You’re welc. How can I access those individual items in order to edit? Thanks.
Nevermind… : )
Ok 
Hi There I was wondering if this theme includes ecommerce? Thank you.
Hi, no it isn’t an ecommerce theme, just a marketing landing page.
Thank you for clarifying.
Hi, I am having problems getting beyond this step:
If you would like to have the same content like in FlatBook’s live preview, you need to import demo content. To do that, navigate to Tools > Import > Wordpress, then select Extras/Import/flatbook-demo-content.xml from the main theme folder. On the next page, check Download and import file attachments option and hit Submit.
I’m finding my way to the screen to upload the .xml file, but I get a server 500 error after a couple of minutes of waiting. I’m putting in my user name per its request.
How can I troubleshoot? Thanks, D
Thanks for your purchase! I guess the problem is the theme file is larger than the maximum upload size from the wordpress admin.
Upload the theme folder (called “FlatBook” in the downloaded package) via FTP to yoursite/wordpress/wp-content/themes. After it’s done, you have to activate the theme from the wordpress admin, just follow the documentation.
I’ve imported backup files and found everything ok except navigation. Maybe navigation data is missing. Can you please help me to add navigation with scrolling effect?
If you create a user for me and send your site’s url and login details via my profile’s contact form here, I can check it for you directly on your site.
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Hi,
Thanks for your purchase! Please check this article: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/how-to-fix-broken-themestylesheet-missing-wordpress-theme-issues/23755I just downloaded and uploaded again and it fixed itself.
My only problem now is that I don’t see the theme options for the ABOUT part of the page, even though it’s a page option. http://pickyourlife.wpengine.com
If you have installed the demo content, you can add your content for the About section at Pages > About the author and upload your author image as a featured image for the page.
If you haven’t installed the demo content, you have to create a new page with About page template…
Doesn’t look the same but it worked out okay. The last thing is the lack of padding around the samples section. http://pickyourlife.wpengine.com/
It was designed to have some text contents below the title, but if you’d like to leave it empty just insert some html breaks or enters in the content at the sample’s page.
The chapters summaries go over the gray bar as well.
There is a place for a maximum 4 summary, if you place 8 of them the design will broke of course.
Hi,
It seems no matter what I do, the Includes keep mis-aligning.
See here: http://i.imgur.com/uB7MCPq.png
I have updated to the latest version of the theme that was just release.
What can cause this?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your purchase. Can you send me the address of your site so i can check it?
It’s probably because you have different length in texts at the icon boxes, it was designed to use about the same length for example two rows of text at every box.
You can fix this if you add the following line of jQuery at the very end of js/custom.js file, just before the end of the document:
$(".include-box:eq(2), .include-box:eq(4)").css("clear","left");
So now your custom.js file’s end should look like this:
$(".include-box:eq(2), .include-box:eq(4)").css("clear","left");
/*--- END DOCUMENT ---------------------------------------*/
});
})(jQuery);
You are awesome. That fixed it! Such a gorgeous theme…. Thanks again!
Your welcome, I help if i can 
Hello! I’ve been working setting up your page for a product we’re marketing (warning: all in norwegian), but i don’t seem to manage setting up the menus.. It won’t jump down on the site..?
Any ideas?
http://www.activestand.no/One of my buyers had thesame issue yesterday, it seems wordpress 3.8 messed up the navigation a bit. You can easily resolve the problem by adding every menu items into custom links. For example:
URL: http://www.activestand.no/#about-us
Right, can i also change the map names? i.e #about-us would be #om-oss in norwegian..?
Yes you can, but if i’m correct, in a working solution you have to add all of the pages before adding the menu items to them.
I can not customize the color because of following reason: I’m getting “ERROR 500 – INTERNAL SERVER ERROR” for this file “wp-content/themes/FlatBook/includes/fb_colors.php”.
I mistakenly placed my comment using another account a minute ago. Sorry for that.
Hi tarique,
Thanks for your purchase. Unfortunately errors like yours coming from the hosting server you are using or something may be messed up in your .htaccess file.
It has nothing to do with the theme, i suggest to contact your hosting provider for more information i’m sure they will help with this issue.
thanks a lot. It’s working perfectly now. Amazing theme, keep doing the good work.
Thank you tarique!
