Blog Theme – I would like to spcifically ask about the blog page. I would like to change the way the blog page shows posts, etc.
Can I have another theme specifically for the blog, how can install that, or should it be another WP installation all together ?
Hi and thanks for your purchase. I don’t know what display changes are you thinking of, is it sure that you need a completely different theme’s blog layout? If yes, i’m afraid you will need a new wp install to www.yoursite.com/blog with the other theme’s blog page, and redirect users from FlatBook to the blog page of your new wp install. Cheers, Erik
Hi Erik. Okay logged into this account. Michelle.
Thanks for the verification. You haven’t provided a link to your site so unfortunately i’m not able to check what’s wrong there.
As far as i see from the sent screenshots, something is really messed up with your site… i suggest to create a new wordpress installion and import the demo contents to have exactly the same structure and contents like in the theme demo, and then start customizing the dummy contents and images to fit your needs.
You can read more about importing the demo content in the flatbook documentation here: http://eriktailor.com/tf_assets/flatbook_wp/documentation/#import-demo-content Cheers, Erik
Are you able to email me the .xml file as I’m not able to find it? Or how can I find it?
You can find it at /extras/import In the downloaded theme package.
So in the downloaded flatbook wordpress theme folder there is meant to be a folder called extras? I can’t find any folder of that name.
I re-installed the website and this is what it looks like with only two pages: home (which is the static front page) and a blog page http://www.theyummymummyclub.com/
Woops! Found it! I was only looking in the theme folder. I got these errors, however: Failed to import “Contact form 1”: Invalid post type wpcf7_contact_form Failed to import “FlatBook Sample Contact Form”: Invalid post type wpcf7_contact_form
Please read the documentation carefully before asking questions, every part of the usuage and the customization is covered inside. You’re getting this error message because you haven’t activated the Contact Form 7 required plugin with the theme before importing the demo content.
Don’t worry, just install and activate the Contact Form 7 plugin and create a new form and copy paste the content of /extras/layouts/flatbook-contact-form.txt to the form layout field within Contact Form 7 options and it will work.
Hi Erik. Thanks. I’ve been able to successfully set it up now. I have another few questions however: 1. Am I able to edit the header to add a link or two? 2.Also, how can I go about adding the icons next to the links under the header, as is in show in the live preview. Thanks, Michelle.
Great to hear that. 1.) I’m not sure what do you need to edit exactly, but you can mofidy the header in the header.php file. 2.) Just add the icon name from the icon reference (for example fa-user) in the menu item’s title attribute. Erik
Hi there, I’m having quite a few issues with this theme (my sister-in-law bought it and I am helping her with her website): Firstly, things aren’t lining up as I would want them to: http://wp.me/aUqsc-1Zy http://wp.me/aUqsc-1Zz -Also my slider image has pixelated, i’m not sure why. -How can I change the ‘ebook’ thing so it aligns with the ‘ipad’ pic? -Testimonials seems to be aligned above the slider. How an I change this?
Any help would be much appreciated to resolve these issues. Thanks, Michelle.
Also icons do not show up next to menu titles?
Hi Michelle, i’m able to provide support for buyers only. If you have purchased my theme from another account please provide your purchase verification code or drop me a comment with this issue from that account. Thanks, Erik
Hi Erik
I have two questions:
1.The logo on my page does not display correctly on mobile devices because its size is 430×38. But I need this size to be displayed properly in desktop browsers. How I can make it to fit properly? You can see it in www.joaquinlablanca.com
2. Why the play button is not displayed in the mobile versions?
Thank you very much for everything
Hey jsantosl and thanks for your purchase! To adjust the logo width to fit the header properly on mobile devices add the following to the very bottom of your style.css file:
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.logo img { width: 330px; }
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
.logo img { width: 240px; }
}
Which play button do you mean? The buttons over the videos? Cheers, Erik
Hi Erik,
I don’t know which is the reason but no matter what youtube link attached in my page www.joaquinlablanca.com because not displayed on mobile devices and tablets including the videos you show in demo. Could you check it? What could be the reason?
Thanks
Ok, I know which is the problem, the short links doesn’t work. However video size doesn’t fit to mobile screen so play button disappears from the screen. How can I fit it?
Thanks
Yeah the video url custom fields only accept full links. I’m afraid the issue is at your side regarding the videos at mobile sizes, if you check the theme demo of the current (v1.2) version from the download here, you can see that the videos are aligned properly to the mobile screen width and the play buttons are either visible.
Hi Erik, I installed this to a test site (bizplanshop.com) and the page with the iPad example loads fine. When I moved this to production (bizmula.com) the iPad page is behaving quite oddly; as you can see the text runs well past the page and bleeds onto others. Any ideas? I could really use a hand here. Thanks
Oh and form some reason the contact form won’t load for me either on this page, and I also had to change the blog page to a link, rather then a page reference to get it to work. Any ideas as to what I am missing?
Hi and thanks for the purchase! Personally i never suggest to use wordpress migration from a local host to production, more often it can cause issues like yours, i rather suggest to create export files: one from the wordpress content another from the theme options and it’s done.
Regarding the iPad issue, it seems it throws out the whole article instead of the post’s excerpt, i guess an excerpt setting overrides the limit of that section’s, but i can’t say it for sure until i see what’s going on at your backend. The contact form works fine for me, it shows up properly on the link you sent.
At the moment the menu pulls out the section’s (actually page) title and attach an anchor point to the added menu item with the wp page title. Basically if you rename one of the pages, the existing menu item won’t scroll until you create an url type link for the item. I have already realized that’s not a really good solution as i recieve too many support requests about the menu usuage, so this will be fixed in the next theme update.
If you can create a wp user for me and send the login details in email via my profile’s contact form here, i can fix the mentioned issues on your site. Cheers, Erik
Hi and thx for your purchase! I just checked your site and the call to action section is there, below the scrollable tablet mockup.
HELP! A portion of the site duplicated itself! It didn’t under the pages admin area, only visually when you visit the site!
Need this fixed immediately, hopefully you can reply soon so I can apply your suggestions!
Client deadline is tomorrow happened on its own.
Only thing I was messing with was Mailchimp sign up form code.
Thanks!

I found the solution! ahem The samples were already in their own section of the theme…I somehow made a page called Excerpts from the Book… (basically samples…) When I sent that to the trash the normal one didn’t disappear but the extra samples disappeared…not sure if I did this one late exhausted night, but it’s fixed. I REALLY hope this helps someone if they have the same issue. If it doesn’t no matter how long later you read this email me.
Hi and thanks for your notice. Please delete the unwanted pages either from the trash too to make them completely disappear.
Where do I put my google analytics code?
Open up header.php file and paste your google analytics code just above the closing </head> tag.
Cheers! Great theme, just what I needed
Do we have an example of a bookstore with more than one ebook ? We have 35 ebooks in our catalog that we love to sell, and we really love this template. Can someone guide us here ?
Thanks. Regards, Chandra
Actually FlatBook is a marketing landing page to showcase and advertise an ebook, not an ebook webshop featuring multiple books. Regards, Erik
Ok. Now I am getting into depths of my ignorance
. Please bear with me. Can we create marketing pages for multiple books using this ? As in one page per book. I will get the e-commerce part handled separately. Does this make sense ? Thanks for a prompt response. Regards, Chandra.
Sure, it is a working solution. The most easy way is to have multiple wordpress installions with the theme (one per a book) at your hosting server and customize them for the details of each book.
Thanks, that will work too. One final question. Is there an e-commerce plugin that we can integrate with this solution ? Or do I have to look for it separately ? Any recommendations.
Personally i would sell my books on amazon.com or any similar site in this kind, and advertise them with separate landing pages linking to the item page where the user would be able to purchase it safely via paypal or a simple bank transcation.
Thanks for your valuable inputs and comments. Have a great day.
Your welcome, let me know if i can help with anything else. Cheers, Erik
Anyone have any browser compatibility issues with different sections, and any easy fixes if so? For a handful of users the testimonials do not appear (slide out) when using ie9, it’s just a blank section so not sure what’s up there. we’re currently live at: http://inspiretoact.com/
Hi the reason of the noticed bug is that IE9 doesn’t support the “opacity” css attribute and can’t render it. To fix it, open header.php and at line 25 replace this
.js .tablet-mockup, .js .testimonial, .js .price-table, .js .include-box, .js .app-ov img {opacity: 1;}
to this:
.js .tablet-mockup, .js .testimonial, .js .price-table, .js .include-box, .js .app-ov img, .js .testimonial {opacity: 1;}
Cheers, Erik
Thank you Erik!
Afternoon Erik,
Just worked with the user that was having the issue and seems that the above change did not resolve the issue as the testimonial section is still unseen. They are using IE 9.0.8112
Thanks!
Hey, can you send me a link to your site with a mention for the details of the issue via my profile’s contact form here so i’ll be able to check it? Cheers, Erik
thanks – submitted
Replied 
working! thank you erik!
Hi Erik,
I am having problems seeing the Call-to-Action on the homepage. Is there something that I have to enable? I’ve entered text and button in the background, but it is not showing.
The Call to Action section is a part of the Samples section, you have to create a page with “Samples” as the page template, and your Call to Action section will show up below the scrollable tablet mockup. Cheers, Erik
I’ve updated this page, and it’s not showing. Is there something else to be altered?
I also, can’t click links on the navigation bar. jaylenbledsoe.com
I just checked it and your Call to Action section is there.. you may solved it already? Regarding the issue with the menu, try adding url link type menu items with anchor points to your section titles. So for example, if your section title is “About Jaylen Bledsoe”, the link should be the www.jaylenbledsoe.com#about-jaylen-bledsoe
Hi Erik,
Two questions:
1. I would like to increase the video size, by default it just have width 370px and height 165px, as I can see to inspect the element (element.style { width: 370px; height: 165px;)
How can I change it?
2. I just have one product on pricing page, so I just need one center column.
How can I set it?
Thanks
Hello,
1.) You can modify the video size in template-videos.php file at line 35, but be careful i have never tried to resize the standard video size before 
2.) You can force the pricing table to align at the center with adding this snippet at the very bottom of the style.css file:
.price-table {
display: table !important;
float: none !important;
margin-left: auto !important;
margin-right: auto !important;
}
Thanks
Hi Erik,
Awesome theme! Is it possible yet to get a video playing inside the iPhone in the slider?
Thanks!
Hi, nice to hear you like it
Unfortunately the iphone mockup in the slider doesn’t support videos, but you can add as many videos as you need in the Video Reviews section. Just add the youtube link and it’s done
Cheers, Erik
Hi,
Thanks for theme. Looks great. I’m trying to get the slider to autoplay, but can’t figure out where to change it. Somwhere in the slider.php, right?
Thanks.
Hi and thx for your purchase, i’m happy you like it! 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"
this means the slide will change in every 2 seconds. For example “5000” means 5 seconds and so on.. Cheers, Erik
Brilliant. Thanks!
dear friend,
thank you for your great theme! can you help me please? i have a design problem here is my site: http://www.internet-verkauf.com
here is the problem in picture: http://www.internet-verkauf.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Unbenannt.pngsorry for my english… please help me and give me the instruction in codes… thanks bro
Hi there, add the following to the bottom of your style.css file
.slide {margin-top: -200px;}
than i have a problem with smartphones…
have you antoher way?
Sure, just add it like this:
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {.slide {margin-top: -80px;}}
It will force the negative margin to be visible only desktop devices.
and this code what you gives not work… look: http://www.internet-verkauf.com
please tell me a way without negative margin (-margin)
I just checked it, you haven’t added the code above to the bottom of your style.css file. Also i checked it, it’s working.
now i added
Still haven’t. Just check your site’s source code with Ctrl + U and search for “style.css” and open it. The suggested code isn’t there.
it is in layout.css
your code looks good on firefox and chrome but not work on smartphones..
Now it’s in, but you still haven’t added the min-width media query, that’s why it’s not working on smartphones. So again:
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {.slide {margin-top: -80px;}}
Paste the code above as it is and it will work as expected.
ok thank you 
Hi, Thanks for such a nice theme. Can you please advise if I can sell my book by this theme? If so how can I integrate paypal with it?
Hi there, thanks for your purchase! Actually FlatBook is a marketing landing page for advertising ebooks, not an ebook webshop. Feel free to try paypal wordpress plugins like this one, or if you’re not familiar with plugin integrations, simply release your ebook to for example amazon.com and link FlatBook theme’s “buy now” buttons to your ebook’s amazon page. Cheers, Erik
Thanks, I am grateful for your immediate help!
Hi there,
is it possible to make the slider slide automatically after a few seconds?
Thanks!
Hi, yes it’s possible the enable the slider autoplay.
neato! can we specify the # of seconds it takes?
Yes, you can specify in milliseconds, for example “5000” means 5 seconds, and so on..
sounds good! I’ll probably be purchasing in day or two
Great, let me know when you need to set it and i tell you how.
Hi Erik,
For the counters, I’m trying to add a $ in front of the number, but it’s showing up as NaN. Is there a way around it?
Thanks!
Also, is it possible to turn off the sliding in animation and just leave it as the in-place transform like the content? (slider)
I apologize for the rush of questions m8, bit of a rush job for a client – is it possible to leave the contact form always open?
No prob, that’s why item support is
Give me some time to look after your requests and please explain your second question, i don’t understand what you mean by:
Also, is it possible to turn off the sliding in animation and just leave it as the in-place transform like the content? (slider)
thanks Erik! For the slider, the image slides in from the right and the headings slide in from the left when changing. But the description stays in place. Basically I would like to turn off the sliding in from right and sliding in from left animation.
Sorry for the delay, i had really hard times trying to achieve your request with the ”$” sign, but finally i found it out 
1.) So to add the dollar sign before the counters, copy paste this code to the bottom of custom.js file, just above the “end of the document” comment:
/* ADD $ SIGN TO COUNTER
==========================*/
$("<span style="font-size: 55px;">$</span>").css({
'font-size' : '55px',
'display' : 'inline-block',
'color' : '#5BC1AF', // Change to your main color
'margin-left' : '45px' // Adjust if needed
}).addClass("inner").prependTo("div.four.columns.feature");
$(".feature h2").css({
'display' : 'inline-block'
}).addClass("inner");
2.) To disable the slider animations, delete or comment everything still in custom.js file from line 53-94.
3. To force the contact form to be always visible, delete or comment the following in the custom.js file:
contactForm.hide();
Cheers, Erik
Thanks Erik! I really do appreciate the tremendous support. A bit of a problem with the block of code though – after putting that in, I am able to see the $, after I add that into my theme options. But it does seem to mess up some of the js on the page. And also the testimonials section seems to have been impacted. The site is http://www.selecthomecaremanuals.com/ , and I do have that piece of code active. Thanks so much Erik.
Oh sorry, my fault. Try this:
/* ADD $ SIGN TO COUNTER
==========================*/
$("<span>$</span>").css({
'font-size' : '55px',
'display' : 'inline-block',
'color' : '#5BC1AF', // Change to your main color
'margin-left' : '45px' // Adjust if needed
}).addClass("inner").prependTo("div.four.columns.feature");
$(".feature h2").css({
'display' : 'inline-block'
}).addClass("inner");
Let me know how it worked 
Interestingly, when I mention that some of the .js on the page is broken, my problem 2, and 3 seems to have been solved with that first code! lol
Sure, because if one thing is messed up in the js, it prevents all of the javascript on the site to be loaded
That’s how js works.
Perfect!! Thank you Erik, I really do appreciate it. 5-star theme based on support alone!
Thanks, i really appriciate that
Cheers, Erik
Erik, I apologize. After showing my first draft to my client, they’re requesting 2 more changes, namely: 1. Is it possible to put a logo image into the left of the navigation menu? 2. Is it possible to move the counter up to be on top of the slider?
You’ve already been super helpful and I really do hate asking for anything else. If these two changes can be easily implemented, I really do appreciate it, but if they’re only possible with heavy code changes, then don’t worry about it.
Regardless, I thank you for everything you’ve already helped me with.
Your welc
Never mind, i’m happy to help
- You mean to put another logo image in the dark dropdown navigation menu?
- Sure, just open up slider.php file and cut everything between line 62-91 and paste to the beginning of the document, just above
<?php $fb_slider = ot_get_option('fb_slider_display'); ..... Now it’s above the slider, but there’s one more thing to do: add this code to your style.css file:#features {padding-top: 80px !important;}and it’s done.
Perfect! ThankyouThankyou! That switcharoo works perfectly. And yes, basically they don’t need the image logo up at top there, but they want it inside and to the left of the nav menu. Again, if its too much trouble and requires recoding, don’t worry about it.
ah.. also, any quick switch to turn off responsiveness?
Nice to hear that
I’ll look after the menu logo request tomorrow, and unfortunately i don’t think there’s an option to turn off responsiveness easily. Cheers, Erik
Don’t worry about it! I spoke to the client about half an hour ago and they said that it was alright if the logo was simply at the top. I appreciate the help though! I was able to get the responsive off by removing the media query in layouts and some of the css in the skeleton css. Also added a visible to wrapper overflow. You’ve been tremendously helpful, I really appreciate it Erik.
I was happy to help, love to recieve appreciations from satishfied buyers
Let me know if i can help with anything else.
Hi,
First of all. Great theme and easy installation!!
I have one problem. My videos are not showing. See http://bebbel.me
Can you help me?
thanks
Hi and thanks for your purchase! Have you pasted your video’s youtube url in the Videos custom posts in the wp dashboard? For the first look i see it empty
Yes I did. I pasted the video url at a new video review in the wp dashboard…
If you create a wp user for me and send the login details and your issue in email via my profile’s contact form here, I can take a look at what’s wrong with your video. Cheers, Erik
just did..thanks
Replied.
Another question;
I need sub-menus on my navigation bar but it does not show up currently. Is there a way I can make this happen? 
Unfortunately dropdown sub-menus aren’t supported by FlatBook yet.
No problem, Erik! I was wondering if you take up freelancing projects on the side? 
Yes i do freelancing but at the moment i’m already late with several projects and now can’t accept more 
Hey Erik,
Great work!
Quick question..is it possible to add an image on the right hand side of the menu with a link so that a visitor can see the option for a ‘buy now’ wherever on the page he is? Here is the link to the website: http://ashtangadiet.com/
Thanks!
Hi, amazed you like it
You can add the following code to header.php file at line 75 (below the wp_nav_menu):
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com#pricing-section" style="float: right; background: green; padding: 10px 15px; margin-top: -10px; border-radius: 4px; color: white;">Buy Now!</a>
Of course you will have to change the link to your pricing section’s id and do some css styling to the button.
Exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much
