Hi Emerald, I sent you a question via profile page. Did you see that ?
Yes, I received your message. Just sent you a reply.
I’m impressed with the responsive form and many elements included. Very well done!
I sent a specific question with a link and await your reply.
Hi,
I purchased your template for a client and am very pleased! I have run into one small issue on the home page when viewed in Firefox 28 on a computer running Windows8.1. SOMETIMES but not always, the Slider Caption slips down out of the intended area. It does not happen with IE. It does NOT happen with your files and test images.
Here is a link: http://www.aurora-marketing.net/cpa-tax-planning/index.htmI can send you a screen shot to show the problem if you would give me an email. Sure hope you can help me resolve this.
Thank you,
Denise
hello, did you create the emails template page?
Hello,
Can you clarify your question please? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
A page for email newsletter.
No, I didn’t create. Only subscription form in the footer.

Esmerald!! I’m sorry to bother but after two days of looking at it I found that the html5shiv.js was incorrectly imported.!!

That’s all right, Rodrigo. I’m glad you could find what caused the error.

Hello,
Can you give me the link to your page?
Thank you for your quick reply I have sent you a PM with link
Hi there, Can you please tell us how to make the share it icons work. Do we need to add any info to it to make it work? at the moment only the twitter icon is shawn. thanks
Hi,
The social share icons are represented in the template by “Social share” section (see the single-project.html, for example):
<ul class="social-share clearfix">
<li class="google">
...
</li>
<li class="twitter">
...
</li>
<li class="facebook">
...
</li>
<li class="pinterest">
...
</li>
</ul>
All you need is to place the above section (any combination of Google+, Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest share buttons) in each .html file where you want these buttons to be displayed.
As you can see from the code, only Facebook script requires setting additional info – “data-href” attribute.
Hi Emerix team, thank you for your reply. Just to understand you: do I have to change the url on every single post to the true url of each post? on line 232 under Facebook Like you currently have this code: My question is: Do I have to change http://e-merald.com/themes/emerix/single-post.html to my own url address of that particular webpage?
Say my post name is good-food.html will the new code should be:
2. How do I embed mp3 file in the template? Many thanks for your help.
Hi,
1) Yes, that’s right.The absolute URL of the page that will be liked – see the Facebook docs for details.
2) As the template already uses html5media project to make HTML5 video and audio tags work in all major browsers, just do the following:
- download the flowplayer.audio.swf and place it to “js” folder,
- embed audio into your page using the following code:
<audio src="music/audio.mp3" controls preload></audio>
Man you are a super star, it worked, thank you very much
Sorry, final 2Q before sale: We want to use “single-project.html” for our article page but the about the author is missing here. Can “About the author” be placed under the share it icons? in the “single-project.html”.
2. the “Related Works” at the end in single-project-3.html can this also be placed under share it and right before the footer in “single-project.html”? I know you currently have “Related Projects” on the right hand side in “single-project.html” but we do not want it here.
By the way the related works or related projects are these Widgets or just created manually for each page?
Sorry to bother you with these qs but to really like your theme and want to buy it. many thanks.http://2.envato-static.com/assets/smileys/grin-5f7c72bae94b93b2f4be36971faa186e.png
1) Yes, “About the author” can be placed under the share icons in the single-project.html. You can take the .blog section from the single-post.html and place it fully or partially inside the .text-description section in the single-project.html.
2) Yes, you can copy the “Related Works” section in the single-project-3.html and paste it right after the .single-item-details section in the single-project.html.
3) The “related projects/works” is not a Widget because pages in HTML templates are not generated dynamically (like in a WordPress theme – using PHP). It is just created manually for each page.
thank you for your super fast response, will buy it now.
Hi, we like your theme very much, but have this Q. how the comments, tags and dates are shawn under the main title in articles? do we have to type these manually for each article? how is it updated? many thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in my product.
First of all, Emerix is not a theme – it’s an HTML template. And like all other templates in “HTML” section on Themeforest.net, it doesn’t have a Content Management System (CMS). That explains the difference in price between HTML templates and WordPress themes – $15 and $45 respectively.
In HTML template all pages are static, and each page or post/article is represented with a separate .html file. The content of a page/article can be changed by editing the corresponding .html file in a text editor (Notepad++, for example). The comments section is fully functional, except that you’ll have to insert the messages sent via the comment form manually.
Hi, I purchased the template and have a client who doesn’t want his site to be responsive. Is there a way I can achieve this? I’m assuming there are certain css things I need to change. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I think it’s possible, but it’s not very easy.
1) First, you need to modify all sections with media queries in each CSS file used in the template (grid.css, base.css, layout.css etc). Some of them should be deleted with the content inside – like this, for example:
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {
...
}
The content of others should be placed outside a media query section – like this, for example:
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
body { font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; }
p { margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 22px; }
...
}
After modification:
body { font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; }
p { margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 22px; }
2) Second, delete the following line in each HTML file:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
3) Also, you need to modify some javascript files (custom.js, jquery.flexslider.min.js, jquery.masonry.min.js…). Find the sections with ”$(window).width()” code and change them appropriately.
Hi, First, Great Template!!! I’m having an issue and is that when using the top bar layout on mobile devices the top bar does not appear.. What do I have to do to make the top bar appear on mobiles.. Thanks!
Hi Yasamin,
Thank you!
You probably mean hiding the top bar on mobile devices in portrait mode. This can be easily changed by deleting (or commenting out) the following code in layout.css (see “Mobile Portrait Size” in section #32 “Media Queries”):
#top-bar,
#secondary-nav { display: none; }
tweets dont’ work.
I dont’t understand why…everything seemed fine until I check IE…it crashed…
also I notice that it loads fine on my local files...but for some reason once i ftp and load the files live it isn't doing so correctly...
http://www.hiholding.com/TESTSITE/emerix/
the social icons don’t work, and the slide images don’t load properly…it is doing so on top of the text….
Why would it load perfect locally but not on the server? I am using siteground….
Thank you for your support, —MIAADCO
Hello MIAADCO,
Which version of IE do you use for testing? Do I understand you right – all these problems occur when testing in this particular version of IE and only on remote server? Does the live preview work properly for you in this version of IE?
Yes, it work’s fine… So do the files that I downloaded locally….But after ftp, i tried dreamweaver, and firezilla method now..nothing!! Days wasted trying to figure it out lol!!
P.S. I’m using ie8, and i noticed….if i run in “compatibility view” the same errors occur…the top left social icons disappear…..and the slider images don’t overlay properly..
**UPDATE: Ok, I realized that this was the issue, as I noticed on my test site.. what is this compatibility issue? I’m not familiar with ie, anyway I must have broken the code some how.. and will have to re-do it.
Switching to “Compatibility View” in IE8 browser means that the web page is displayed as if you view it in IE7. As the template is not compatible with IE7 (and it is stated on the product page), there is no sense to test it in “Compatibility View”.
The issue with the slider image overlay only occurs for me in “Compatibility View” – so it’s not an error actually. The top left social icons in IE8 are loaded in most times, but sometimes not. It also concerns all Font Awesome icons – see blog.html, for example. Unfortunately, I can’t say why this happens with your website.
Hi Emerald,
that’s the second template I bought from you. That qualifies me for Gold support
So my problem is the following :
I reduced the slider image to 800px instead of 1220px in layout.css and also the image has 800px.
On desktop everthing is fine, only on iPad the image is gonna scaled up to a bigger size, so it looks weird. I think I’ve to fit something in the media queries section in layout.css, but where ?
Best regards Peter
Hi Peter,
You are really qualified for Gold support – so I’m replying to your question in the evening of Valentine’s Day 
You are right – you just need to fit something in the media queries section. Find the following styles:
@media only screen and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
...
#home-hero-content { height: 413px; }
.hero-image img, #home-hero-content .slides img { width: 1120px; }
...
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {
...
#home-hero-content { height: 413px; }
.hero-image img, #home-hero-content .slides img { width: 1120px; }
...
}
The default size of the banner – 1220×450px. So the ratio is 2.711, and it should stay constant for different screen widths. In your case, the ratio is 1.778 (800×450). So for the height of 413px, the width should be 734px (413*1.778). Just change ‘1120px’ to ‘734px’ in the lines above.
Hi Emerald,
thanks for your answer on Valentine’s Day. It’s like to get a gold medal in Sochi
I forgot to ask where I can fit the position of the navigation arrows because they remain in same place after resizing slider image. It’s
shown as element style. I searched in the .js files of the slider but couldn’t find it. The default value is “left: 1053.5px”
Thanks again
Peter
The navigation arrows are styled in layout.css as #home-slider.right-side-nav .flex-direction-nav class. The horizontal position for navigation arrows is set in jquery.flexslider.js (and, respectively, jquery.flexslider.min.js) – see the “Additional code for FlexSlider” section at the bottom of the document (positionRightSideNav function).
Hi Emerald, I searched this already for more as an hour, but I can’t find this value : “left: 1053.5px” that shows me Firebug.
This value is calculated automatically in positionRightSideNav function I mentioned above. It also depends on the browser window width and is recalculated on each window resizing.
Okay Emerald, but what in detail I’ve to change to get the navigation arrows inside the image with a width of 800 px ? I’ve no problem to play around but I’ve absolute no idea where to begin.
Peter, in your case the positionRightSideNav function should look like this:
function positionRightSideNav() {
if ($(window).width() >= 768) {
var navWidth = $('#home-slider.right-side-nav .flex-direction-nav a').width(),
navLeft = $('#home-slider').width() - navWidth;
$('#home-slider.right-side-nav .flex-direction-nav a').css('left', navLeft + 'px');
} else {
$('#home-slider.right-side-nav .flex-direction-nav a').css('left', '');
}
}
HI Emerald, thank you very much. Works perfectly. Forgot to mention how great your new template is.
Outstanding template in every detail, including the documentation. With some basic html and css knowledge this template is spectacular for any site! Thanks…. Of course I do have one question…..I can’t figure out how to put a logo in the sticky nav bar when active. I like the arrow but would love to include a small version of logo to the right of it. I see the section in the custom.js but not sure what to do… Thanks again and great work!
Thanks for your good words, Ameol.
Just add the following style to layout.css (section #2 > Sticky menu):
body.sticky-menu-active #header .columns {
background: url(../images/logo-small.png) no-repeat 70px bottom;
}
How would you make the navigation menu span the entire width, centered from left to right, so that a logo and banner ad can be placed above it?
Cheers!
You can do it by changing the code something like this:
- in HTML files:
...
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="one-third columns">
<div id="logo">
...
</div>
</div>
<div class="two-thirds columns">
--Your banner ad--
</div>
</div>
<div class="full-width columns">
<nav id="navigation">
...
</nav>
</div>
</div>
...
- in layout.css:
#logo { float: left; }
#navigation { margin-top: 30px; }
#primary-nav { }
Hello, I purchased your template and I was wondering how to fix the following issue: I want the move the right side info down from the top of the page. I successfully did that but the right side info now obscures the logo when viewed on a mobile devices. The site in question is http://websitesbycreation.com/artfulfoods. Thanks
Hello,
You set the “margin-top” property for #logo element to “-60px” using the inline CSS. I would recommend to do it inside CSS file – layout.css. In this case you can set different values of the “margin-top” property for different screen widths using media queries – like this, for example:
#logo {
...
margin-top: -60px;
...
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
#logo {
margin-top: 0;
}
}
Hello, I want to know how I change the main color? and to change the Map, thanks! Grettings!
Hello,
1) For the detailed information on how to change the template’s color scheme, please read the “CSS Files” section of the Documentation.
2) 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”).
