Hello Emerald,
Project Carousel is not working in Chrome. Is it fixable?
Thanks,
Hello bbk1234,
I have not noticed any issues with Projects Carousel in Chrome. Can you tell me what exactly is not working? Which OS do you test it on? Does the live preview work properly for you in Chrome, or not?
In Recent Projects Carousel, the slider arrows are not doing anything. I am trying this on windows 8.1 with chrome Version 32.0.1700.107 m. However in my touch screen laptop, I can slide the carousel without using arrows. For some reason only arrows are broken in chrome browser. Live preview also behaves in same way.
Currently I don’t have possibility to test the Carousel Plugin properly in Chrome on Win 8. Yet there are no problems with arrow functionality on Win 7. I will let you know for sure as soon as I explore the issue and find the solution.
Dear all,
Would appreciate some guidance as how to change the color(s) of the buttons as in “tabs and toggles”. Sorry but I could not find the code in .css.
Take your time and thank you in advance, Jan.
Hello Jan,
If I understand you right, this is a list menu defined by the .list-nav.table classes. The default styles for this element are declared in layout.css (section #26 > List menu > Table menu). The styles that depend on the chosen color scheme are overwritten in “css/main_bg/chosen-color-scheme.css” (green.css by default):
- section 3:
ul.list-nav.table li { background-color: #ebeee9; }
- section 4:
ul.list-nav.table li:hover,
ul.list-nav.table li.current,
ul.feature-nav a { background-color: #e6e9e4; }
- section 5:
ul.list-nav.table li:hover,
ul.list-nav.table li.current { background: rgba(199, 207, 195, 0.45); }
How would you set a different color for the footer (in CSS)?
If you want to set a different color for the footer, please do the following:
- open “css/main_bg/chosen-color-scheme.css” (green.css by default)
- find the line #498 and set a new value for background-color property like this:
#footer,
#footer input[type="submit"]:hover,
#footer-bottom { background-color: #RRGGBB; }
Thank you! That works. Also in CSS, where would the H1 font color be changed?
The H1 font color can be changed in “css/main_color1/chosen-color.css” (olive.css by default).
Does this theme (or upon purchase could you help us) include functionality for Google custom search? I know the API is fairly easy, but I would like to make sure it look integrated into the theme.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my product. Currently, the Emerix HTML template doesn’t have the search functionality implemented.
Hi on contact page how do i change the map location.
Thanks
Hi,
Please open custom.js file, find the “Google Maps” section, and change either address or mapCoords depending on posType chosen.
More information can be found in the Documentation (“Javascript” > “Google Maps”).
Great found it. Thanks
Hello Emerald,
This template is awesome and im interested to buy it. But im also interested is there a possibility to make it as boxed version?
Thanks for your answer!
Hello Marko,
Thank you for your interest.
The Emerix template is developed with wide page layout in mind (it is seen most of all in design of homepage and pages with a sidebar). Currently the template doesn’t include the boxed version. Perhaps, I will add the one in one of future releases.
Ello Emerald and thank you for your answer,
Wide layout for the homepage is ok, i like it. But rest pages i would prefer to have a boxed layout. Can we make a deal that you add boxed layout for me for some reasonable price?
Unfortunately I can’t help you with this because I don’t provide customization on my templates.
Thank you again for your answer.
Please if you have in your mind to add this feature, make it fast 
Thank you again!
Ok, Marko 
Hi,
Is it possible to translate the theme in different languages?
In addition, how to put a captcha in the form?
Thank you. Nice job!
Hi,
Thank you!
This is an HTML5 template – so if you want to create a website in another language (or languages), it won’t be a problem. (Note: it’s not a Wordpress theme, and it can’t be WPML compatible).
The template currently doesn’t have a captcha implemented.
Okay. So how do you translate the site? because manually change the language on each page of the file take much time.
This is an HTML5 template – a set of HTML, CSS, and JS files. If you want to change the content of a page you need to edit a corresponding HTML file in a text editor. If you need to translate the content of a page to another language, you can do it manually or using online translators – it’s up to you.
Okay Thanks.
I have a problem with the video in HTML5, I put a mp4 video and when the video starts in the lightbox, there is no sound. It was the same with the original video in the theme “taste lab”.
So, I also put an ogg and webm release. On firefox, the video starts but I have no sound. On chrome, the video does not start. On internet explorer, I have no problem
Does it happen in all browsers or in a specific one only? Does the example HTML5 video in my online preview ( http://e-merald.com/themes/emerix/lightbox.html ) play properly for you (with sound) or not?
The examples of HTML5 video in a lightbox in live preview were tested in Chrome, Firefox, IE 8-10 on Win XP / Win7, and Safari on iPad – and they work properly (with sound).
There was a problem with Chrome (video did not play), but the solution was found – it is implemented in the live preview version, and will be included in the recent template update. Please download the following files and place them in “js” folder: jquery.prettyPhoto.js , jquery.prettyPhoto.min.js , html5-video-template.html .
Nice work!
Thank you!
Hi Emerix, I purchased this awesome template and I’m having trouble implementing a slide gallery. I want another slide gallery in the home page, my problem is that I want to have multiple items in one slide, after trying to put multiple images in each li my problem is that images are always on top right of the container, and I can’t see them!! I also try with https://github.com/richardscarrott/jquery-ui-carousel and it was an styles disaster! Any idea how this could work? Regards
Hi Rodrigo,
If I understand you right, you are trying to implement some third party slide gallery (which is not included in the Emerix website template) into the homepage. Unfortunately, I have no idea how this could work.

Hello,
I am trying to duplicate the page-custom-header.html page but use different images for the banner on each page, I changed the picture in the css but this changes the image on both pages, can you you help?
I am want to use a different image for each page.
Thanks
Hello Christopher,
Please check if you changed the class name for #page-title section in the duplicated page.
The HTML code for the duplicated page should look something like this (let’s say it’s the “History” page):
<section id="page-title" class="custom-bg history"> ... </section>
The CSS code in the layout.css (section #6) for 2 pages with custom image header should be the following:
#page-title.custom-bg.values { background-image: url(../images/banners/header-values.jpg); }
#page-title.custom-bg.history { background-image: url(../images/banners/header-history.jpg); }
Hello,
Thank you, worked a treat. You are a star!
Hello Emerald,
It would be awesome if you can provide an example of vertical carousel in sidebar.
Thanks,
Hello,
Do you mean the Projects Carousel? I can’t promise, but I will think about it.
Yes please. It will help me a lot.
Hello Emerald, Any update on this. I would really appreciate this.
Hello bbk1234,
No updates on this… sorry. Currently I’m not planning to modify the jQuery Carousel Plugin to implement “vertical carousel” feature.
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
How do i solve this issue?
Hello,
Emerix is not a WordPress theme, it is an HTML5 template (as well as all files in the “HTML” section on Themeforest.net). If you want a WordPress theme, you need to look in the “WordPress” category.
Also, please have a look here and contact the Envato team if needed.

hello, how can i change the pink (or sth, like that) line around the circle on the homepage intro “circle”??? hope you know what i mean!
PS: i want to change the color of the “surrunding” line of that circle
Hello truplaya,
If you want to change the color of the “circle shadow” graphic element on homepage, you need to edit (Color Overlay) the intro-shadow.png file in a graphic editor (Photoshop, for example). This file can be found in images/colored_theme/main_color2/chosen color folder/
yes, exactly that is what i was lookin for! thanks for you quick support! thumbs up!
me again, with following: would it be possible to extend the slider on the landing page to the “circle shadow”, so that the circle shadow is the border of the slider? like this http://s1.directupload.net/images/140125/l9sfhmsl.jpg
i really would appreciate if you had a look at this, even tho i know it may not be a standard customization…
You can change the “margin-left” property of .hero-image element (section #3 in layout.css) and set some negative value. This extends the slider to the “circle shadow”... but makes the left corners of a slide image appear beyond the circle area. To prevent this, modify the intro-shadow.png file – add the area with background color to the left side of the “circle shadow” element, and also increase the canvas width. Then set appropriate values for “left” and “width” properties of .intro-wrapper element (section #4 in layout.css).
Hope, this will help you.
kk…. thanks again for your support! gonna rate your template now since that’s the way i like it aha aha 
I represent a non-profit organization that is interested in this website template. Whom may I contact with a few questions with respect to slight customization?
Thank you.
Thank you for your interest.
You can contact me by sending a private message via the form on my profile page. Actually, I don’t provide customization on my products… unless it’s a really slight modification. Any way, I will give you a quick reply if I can help you with the customization you need, or not.

I am using your beautiful design for my new web site.
I would like to use the lightbox alike popups for my virtual tours like this one :
http://sjobox.com/360vtp/warrumbungle/WarrumbungleTour.html
Fully responsive to integrate like all your ‘popups’ off course as the tour is already HTML5 and responsive..Could you give me a line of code to use please ?
Thanks: JacobHi Jacob,
You can open your tours inside an iframe, which in its turn, is opened in a lightbox (prettyPhoto). Two examples of usage are shown below:
- with preview image overlay:
<div class="item-picture">
<img src="images/thumbnail.jpg" alt="">
<div class="image-overlay">
<a href="http://sjobox.com/360vtp/warrumbungle/WarrumbungleTour.html?iframe=true&width=740&height=580" data-rel="prettyPhoto[iframe]" title="Warrumbungle Tour"><span class="video"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
- with simple hyperlink:
<a href="http://sjobox.com/360vtp/warrumbungle/WarrumbungleTour.html?iframe=true&width=740&height=580" data-rel="prettyPhoto[iframe]" title="Warrumbungle Tour">view the virtual tour</a>
Thanks !! But how to make the iframe responsive ? I found a solution here but can not get it going: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17838607/making-an-iframe-responsive
The example of how to display your virtual tours in a lightbox shown above works pretty good on a desktop and tablet (iPad). And it works exactly the same way as for displaying images and videos in lightbox.
The example doesn’t work properly only on small screens (smartphones). And the matter is in the lightbox plugin that is used in the template – prettyPhoto. It needs additional adjustment for your case. I can’t provide you with this customization… but I will try to find a solution in the nearest few days and let you know if I get success.
You are correct , I suppose the smartphone is not that important for my kind of work. BUT it would be nice if you can get it going anyway. Then your next step is to build a template especially suited for vital tour photographers. I’m sure there is a market for you as I often see people n forms about VR struggling to get it in a web site, ..... I’m too old to be worried about giving away an idea to benefit the competition
The tour I posted is pretty much state of the art when it comes to the flash / HTML5 compatibility. Built with software from kolor.net . Feel free to use it in your trials and ask for more if you need to.
Cheers:
Jacob
Thank you, Jacob.
The virtual tours can be opened and played in a lightbox on smartphones, but this is pretty unstable and breaks a browser quite often. I think the better way is to open the tours in a new window. You can provide it by adding the following code into the custom.js file:
if ($(window).width() < 768) {
$('a[data-rel="prettyPhoto[iframe]"]').unbind('click.prettyphoto').attr('target', '_blank');
}
This code prevents a lightbox overlay from opening on click event, and open a linked page in a new window.
THANKS again !! , Just wondering if Ajax would be an option ?
I’m not a great expert in Ajax yet, and use it for HTML forms functionality only… So I can’t give you an exact answer 
Dear all,
Would appreciate your advice how to modify the main menu as such that drop-down menus will not be used. I search the Comments but could not find what I wanted; so it must be easy..?
Thank you in advance, Jan
Hello Jan,
You are right – it’s really easy. The main menu without drop-down submenus would look like this:
<ul id="main-menu">
<li><a href="index.html" class="current">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="typography.html">Features</a></li>
<li><a href="about-us.html">Pages</a></li>
<li><a href="portfolio-3-columns.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="gallery-3-columns.html">Gallery</a></li>
<li><a href="blog.html">Blog</a></li>
</ul>
Hi,
Many thanks for super fast and useful reply! Was looking for a setting in css and / or js and overlooking the obvious!
Hi emerald,
Could you please tell me how to implement portfolio filtering? How exactly should i add the filter terms? in a class?
Please help!
Thanks, David
Hi David,
If a portfolio is supposed to be filterable, the .portfolio-item-preview should have the “data-category” attribute. This attribute can have multiple values separated by space, for example:
<div class="one-half columns portfolio-item-preview" data-category="all planning">
Use the following structure (example) of the #portfolio-filter for the filterable portfolio:
<ul id="portfolio-filter" class="clearfix"> <li><a href="#" data-category="all" class="link-sm current">All<span></span></a></li> <li><a href="#" data-category="planning" class="link-sm">Planning<span></span></a></li> ... </ul>
Also, please read “HTML – Portfolio” and “Javascript – Portfolio Filter” sections of documentation for information on how to implement portfolio filtering.
The full example of a filterable portfolio can be found in portfolio-2-columns.html file.
Oh thanks!! It worked fine! 
Dear all,
Just checked the template using the live preview on my Ipad Mini and opened the – about us page 2 – and the page opens on the – about us – tab (fine), but touching the others tabs (- history, our people, etc.) will not open when touched.
I checked it on m Mac using the mouse and it works like it should.
Comments and suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks, Jan.
Hello Jan,
Thanks for the purchase!
I’ve just checked the side menu on iPad2, iPod touch and Android smartphone – it works properly with touch events as it should. And I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work because there is nothing specific – just standard links with “href” attribute…
Did you make a faq page or form page?
I didn’t make the sample page for a FAQ section because there is nothing specific for this: 1) if you want to have toggling answers – use the examples on “Tabs & Toggles” page, 2) if you need classic style – use simple CSS styling (“bold” for questions, “normal” for answers).
If you mean the page with contact form by “form page” – there are 2 sample pages.
Form page just like http://www.getskeleton.com/#forms. The input, textarea, listbox and dropdown styles.
The styles for HTML form elements are declared in the template. The examples of a text field, text area, drop-down list, and checkbox can be found on Contact and Single Post pages. The example of a Radio Buttons element is not included, but it can be easily used and doesn’t need any additional styling.
Hi, I really like this template! It fits almost perfect for a new project I’m starting. My only question is that it’s posible to put a background image on the page? That’s a must and I only see that you can change the colors but no image is possible. Regards
Hi Rodrigo,
As far as i can imagine, a background image is most suitable for pages with boxed layout. The Emerix template is developed with wide page layout in mind, and it doesn’t include the boxed version. So, I’m afraid, the option of using an image as the page background is not possible currently.
