Hey there,
having a great time working with your theme and already rated it 5 stars
One question though, how is it possible to let the Visual Composer CSS3 Animations play, even though they already are in the visible area of the screen. Now they only play when they are barely visible and I already searched through the js_composer files, but couldn’t locate what the reason is that they don’t trigger when already viewable.
Would be nice to know, how to always trigger them and I assume others would profit from this too, since it looks much better when the animations play also on big screens.
Thanks for the help!
Hi working,
to be honest, I don´t understand well the way you would like to fire the animations. These animations are ready to start once the element/component that implements it is visible on the screen. In which other way do you suggest to fire them?
Let me know more details about this issue and I will try to answer your question better 
About the rating, thank you very much for this. It is really appreciate it 
Hey VanKarWai,
Link to the site http://bit.ly/1fYpXVq
1. When first loading a page the CSS animations assigned through the Visual Composer for the content that is already visible don’t play – is this because of the page loader/spinner screen – would be nice if these play one time even though the content is visible?
2. When using the dark layout there are white “flashes” in-between pages, what I mean is that when you click on a different site, there is a white screen for a short moment prior to the page loader/spinner – is it possible to fix this?
3. Can you please take a look at the Footer and tell me where the white background comes from, it is supposed to be transparent meaning rgba(0,0,0,0.1), but on devices smaller than 15” there is a white background? I could not find it in style.css, global.css or the footer.php file.
4. Where can I edit the width of the responsive Visual Composer classes? They don’t work well on tablets if they are smaller than 1/2 + 1/2?
Thanks so much for the support, hope this also helps others.
Hi!
1. & 2. I will try to take a look to this animation detail during the weekend, viewing your site I understand how would you like to manage them. I guess all the first elements have animations that are fired automatically when the site loads and for this reason are not visible when the preloader is complete. I will try to help you to adapt this behaviors to your site.
3. If you set the transparency in that way looks to be a gap, but this space is part of the footer. You could modify this in order to fit better to your needs in this way:
@media handheld, only screen and (max-width: 1170px){
.minimal-layout .footer { margin-top: -150px; }
}
Remember that the best way to edit your theme is using the child theme or using the custom css field you will find within “Flamingo Options > General > Custom css field”.
4. When you tell that VC columns don´t work well in tablets, what do you mean? In my tests in iPad are working correctly. They break or are they smaller than expected? Let me know, I will try to help with too.
I will try to back to you as soon as possible about your other doubts. As you say, it could be interesting for others too 
Hi VanKarWai,
any news on 1 & 2 yet? For question 4 I would like columns smaller or equal than 1/3 to display as 1/2 on the iPad for example, if you could point out to me which file to edit I think I’ll be fine 
Hi!
I´m sorry, I have not checked this because I forgot to do it. Here we have not any option to check threads as pendant or starring in some way to return after to it. It is for this reason I always encourage you to use our support system where we can follow better your queries and help better in general.
I will review it within the next 24/48h. I created a post-it in my monitor for this, that method always works! 
Thank you very much for your patience!
Any news yet?
Hi!
I´m sorry about the delay. I contacted to the plugin dev in order to know more about these features and how to modify these behaviors in a better way, but I have not been contacted by now.
I can provide you a solution for this, but I think that it is not the best, but it will work as you expect. Let´s see.
You need to modify the javascript core file of the plugin that manages all the front-end options. You will find this file within your plugin folder > js_composer > assets > js > js_composer_front.js
Here, around the line 45 you will find this function call:
vc_waypoints();
Notice that this call is within the document ready event, just move it to the load event in this way. Around line 13 you will find this:
jQuery(window).load(function() {...
Just add this function after this line, in this way:
jQuery(window).load(function() {
setTimeout(function(){
vc_waypoints();
}, 1000);
This will ensure that animations won´t fire before the page is completely loaded and will wait a second before firing the first time. This should work in the way you are searching for.
Try it and let me know if it is OK for you.
Greetings!
Hey there,
thanks for getting back at me so fast. I only was able to test it on my 100mbit connection so far, but since it is a timed delay I’d expect it to behave different on various connections – but it works for now
Please let me know if there are any updates on this or you hear from the plugin developers!
Also wondering if you had made any progress with number 2? (When using the dark layout there are white “flashes” in-between pages, this occurs prior to the spinner/preloading screen)
Take care and thanks so much for the fix!
Hi, I just purchased yours theme and i have some questions:
1. I need behance social field. Is it possible to add more pages in the next update ?
2. How can i add “back to top” button ? I think this feature is missing.
3. How can i delete green “tooltip” with menu txt. I think this element breaks down apperance theme. I want delete this cloud and scale up menu icon to do it more visible.
4. I asked already about this but i re-query. What can i add social buttons below every single work in portfolio. This is very important when we want share one work, not whole page. Maby any addon can resolve the matter ?
5. I have trouble with contact form. On contact page is only “[contact-form-7 404 “Not Found”]” Any tips ? EDIT: i do all with flamingo documentation.
Thank your for reply and sorry for my english 
Ad. 2 Problem solved
Ad. 3 Problem in half way solved
I find option to remove green tooltip. Now i need only scale up menu icon because now is too little.
Ad. 5 solved 
Hi kooksart,
let´s see about your questions:
1. We will review to add new social options within the next update.
3. You can increase the menu button with this custom rule:
.menu-launcher span a i { font-size: 35px; }
Just add the size you would like to use in px.
4. Normally any social option lets you share the URL related to a project/page, this is what social options that Flamingo includes do. In case you would like to use something different, you can search for some plugin that could work in that way. Really I don´t understand well the way you would like to share projects.
5. Make sure you have created your own contact form. If you are using one from documentation it won´t work because it was not generated within your site. Please, review the documentation in order to know more about this detail.
Hope it will help.
Cheers!
Hello. What’s a good way to boost the SEO using this theme?
Hi Vlad,
you can try Yoast or All in One SEO plugins, for example. They should work well, other Flamingo users are running them without problems, maybe the plugin once installed ask you for modifying some detail within the metas in the header.php file. In this case, just follow the plugin instructions.
In case you could have any doubt with it, do not hesitate to open a support ticket and we will try to help closer.
Have a nice weekend!

Hi wellenmacher,
it would be very helpful if you could provide your site URL in order to check this issue, with the screenshot I can´t check why is happening this. Even your browser in use would help a lot too in order to understand better all the details involved with this.
You can open a private ticket in order to share your data if you prefer it. Just let me know and I will try to help with.
Greetings!
Hi wellenmacher,
seems to be a little deep error with the gallery widget you are using. It will be fixed within the next update. While, if you would like to fix it now, you can do it in a very easy way. For this, just add this custom rule to your custom styles:
.wpb_gallery_slides,
.wpb_image_grid { position: relative; z-index: 0; }
Let me know about it, ok?
Greetings!
flyout next project is behind content
How can I make TWITTER & FACEBOOK links in the menu open on a new tab/window?
Hi Vlad,
you can add a target=”_blank” att. the each of social option/anchor within header.php. You will find these options around the line 157 within this file.
Try to update this, and in case you could need some closer help with it, do not hesitate to open a support ticket.
Greetings!

or how can I just disable them?
nevermind, found it. thank you!
Hi
Could you please be so kind and tell me where I can edit in the the input fields on Submit Ticket page, I like to rename some field and add to more field, but I can’t find the file on my FTP.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Morten Knudsen
Hi Morten,
I´m not sure about your query. If you refer to the contact form, you can edit it with the “Contact” option you will find into your WP options. Before, make sure you installed Contact Form 7 plugin as the theme ask you to activate when you install the theme. Once you have activate it, just add or rename your fields as you could need.
Hope this will help with your query. In case you could have any doubt, do not hesitate to contact.
Best, Van.
Hi There,
Is it possible to embed vimeo video’s in the portfolio page?
Hi,
you can embed any of these supported formats within pages and posts. Vimeo & Youtube videos are supported as background videos too.
Thanks about your interest in Flamingo.
Greetings!
Much praise to this theme BUT EVEN MORE PRAISE to the support that is offered. I am not a code genius, and these guys will really go out of their way to make the theme work as you want it. Best theme I have ever purchased!
Very glad to hear you are happy with our work and services. Really appreciate it! 
Hi Van!
I wanted to adjust the gutter width and row margin for the VC, but I can’t find the settings menu for VC anymore. It was there before, I believe. How do I turn those settings on, or where do I find them?
Thanks in advance! Tom
Hi Tom,
you should view something like this within any page in order to allow you to enable the page builder. If you have it enabled, the button has the “Classic editor” label. If the classic is enabled, then “Visual Composer” should be shown there. Just click on the button in order to enable/disable the page builder.
Anyway, you should have any problem enabling the VC. In that case, please, open a support ticket and we will try to understand better this issue.
Greetings, Tom!
Hi Van, thanks for responding!
However, I know where I can find the VC 
What I am looking for is the VC builder menu, where I can set the standard gutter width and margins for the VC. Hope this clarifies it a bit better?
I´m sorry, Tom. The case is I was in doubt with you because you know very well the theme and WP.
To be honest, I´m not sure about these options, because all the available options are within the widgets and “Settings > Visual Composer”. And I have not found any option to modify directly these details.
In case you would like to increase the space between columns, you could use this rule:
.vc_row-fluid .vc_span4 {
padding-top: 0;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 20px;
}
With this rule you could adjust the space between each part for your actual columns layout. Just adjust it as you prefer.
Hope it is the tweak you are searching for. Let me know anyway, ok?
Greetings!
Hi Van,
Thanks I was looking for that indeed! However, before I did see this panel:
http://vc.wpbakery.com/features/skin-builder/And now it’s gone
There is an advantage to modifying through that panel, as the percentual margins are affected and so the far left and right gutters are not touched. How you get what I mean 
Anyway, this will do for now!
Thanks again!
Hi Tom,
thanks for letting me know. I will check this with Andreu and I´ll let you know about it ASAP! 
hi guys, can i get the La Belle visual composer dummy code?

Hi longgman,
just open a support ticket and we will provide you the needed vc code to create the same layout. Images are not included, you only need to replace the placeholders.
Let´s see there these details, we will try to help with! 
Hi Using Contact Form 7 and Checkbox Input will not show up. Any idea how to format this?

Hi, great theme.. just one question..
We are using menu option 3, and just want to reduce the amount the logo image drops down when the menu button is clicked (to reveal the menu). As seems to sometimes get very close to the bottom of the angled section
Think it is currently set as a 38px margin at the top, but can’t figure out the code to put into the custom css to overrule this.
Your help would be appreciated
Many thanks
Hi Jonny,
in order to modify this behavior you need to modify custom.js file. This movement is managed via javascript, but it is very easy to modify. Please, take a look to this part of the code you will find within custom.js file around the line 709:
$(".logo img").animate({
marginTop: 38
}, 1000, 'easeInOutQuint');
Just modify the value for marginTop and this will modify the displacement of the logo when you menu will be opened.
Hope it will help!
Hopefully easy question:
Where can I change the color for the back/next arrows on the homepage slider?
Thanks!
Hi!
yes, it is very easy, just add this custom rule to your custom css within “Flamigo options > General > Custom CSS”:
.icon-angle-left,
.icon-angle-right { color: #feea00; }
And add the color you prefer.
Greetings!
Hi really really nice theme, Pre purchasing question – Are this theme support flash? i want to show Flash banner portfolio on this theme any chance?.
One More Question – Can i change menu color like green to orange?
Hi hahmmed,
the theme does not support “native” flash contents for backgrounds, for example. But you can add flash movies within any page or portfolio pages adding them as embebed iframes. Just adding a RAW html widget and there include the iframe with the path to your SWF movie. This would be the only way to add these kind of contents.
Here you have a complete list with all the media formats supported with the theme.
About the menu colors, you can customize them as you prefer, using the option panel you will be able to modify the menu background colors or the color for the options. But anyway, via css you could modify any detail in a very easy way.
Hope this info will be useful for you and thank you very much about your interest in Flamingo.
Greetings!
Amazing theme. Any possibilities of having a vanilla HTML version?
Hi suvonil,
I´m sorry to say that Flamingo won´t be available in plain HTML.
Anyway, thank you very much about your interest.
Greetings!
Hi and Hola!
Tengo una pregunta sobre el tema: ¿Habría alguna posibilidad de tener la página de Portfolio a full-width? ¿Esa opción la contempla en algún lugar del panel de control el tema? Solo sería esto! Gracias por adelantado, Saludos!
Hola!
esta no es una opción que esté integrada con el theme ya que este no fue diseñado para funcionar de esta manera. De todos modos, creo que se podría modificar de una forma muy sencilla via CSS para que en el caso particular de tu página de portfolio se comportara de esta manera.
Si estuvieras interesado en comprar una copia de Flamingo y quieres comprobar esto antes, avísame y te lo reviso más de cerca para confirmarte que efectivamente podrías modificar el theme desde los estilos de una forma que te resultara realmente sencilla.
En cualquier caso, muchas gracias por tu interés con el theme.
Un saludo! 
Hi,
I might have missed it, is there a list of all short codes to showcase all the elements?
Cheers
Hi Kaje,
Flamingo does not use shortcodes, it includes a few of them to add quotes or different titles styles. Instead of using a shortcode manager to create the basis structures, we use Visual Composer as page builder. These kind of builders are a highly tailored shortcode generators that allow you creating more complex layouts via “widgets”. Here you have a complete widget list to have a closer idea about the components you can use with the theme.
One more time, thank you very much about your interest in Flamingo.
Is there a way to have the menu from menu-layout-1 minimize if scrolling to angles-layout point? So the Logo and menu-helper are on a customizable gradient menu-bar and on top of the screen?
Everything else i like a lot in this template, really nice made stuff!
Best Regards & Thank you for your support.
Hi isarstyle,
I´m not sure if I understand your question. I´m sorry. I would recommend you to opening a support ticket and it would be perfect if you could share some screenshots about this.
In advance, I must to say that we don´t provide customizations. We can guide you to achieve some easy modifications, but we can´t go to deep/hard customizations. Anyway, we will try to help in some way with this query.
Greetings!
Hi,
I pasted this CSS in the custom css field, but the hexagon is just not going away.. (portfolio page)
.wpb_wrapper .vc_text_separator{ width: 75px; //or the width you like more height: 75px; //or the width you like more, equal to width line-height: 75px; //same size again top: 15px; //needed to align with vertical line. Adjust it as needed depending on your circle´s size. border-radius: 50%; }
.wpb_wrapper .vc_text_separator:before, .wpb_wrapper .vc_text_separator:after { display: none; }
Hi sheddan9,
this code is not for removing the hexagon within the portfolio page. To get rid off this element from this page, the easiest way is to use this rule:
.section-header { display: none; }
Hope it will help.
Cheers!
