Hi we have been searching for a theme that will host our Knowledge Base articles 200+ segmented in groups/categories and tags.

We like this theme and have purchased it thought we need few questions answered as we cant find relevant information in the documents.

1. the theme puts every thing on the home page. How can we change this to be on a specific page and not on the home page? So we have Home Page with custom content/search bar etc, KB page with all the categories.

2. Is there a view/page/shost code to list all the tags and related articles in each tag/tag group?

3. When going to a post it uses DOMAIN/category/POST – can we change this to use /kb/POST?

Hey there,

We have one to one support rather than a forum. You should receive a reply to your support request soon.

Thanks

Hi Chris, I have posted 3 emails to date and have yet to receive a single reply, seem to be getting a quicker response here. Would appreciate you can check those emails and get back.

Hey there,

Hi Chris,

Great work!

I’d like to use this theme for a “back office” portal. I have a small team and I’d like to document SOPs (standard operating procedures), included email templates, answers to our internal FAQs, etc.

I don’t want the public to be able to access the knowledge base.

It’s just for my team.

Is there a way to password protect the site/theme ?

If so, what are the details?

Thanks !!

Hey Chris,

Do you recommend another plugin? This one won’t suite us very well.

“This plugin only protects your WordPress content. It does not protect and images or uploaded files so if you enter and exact URL to in image file it will still be accessible.”

Thanks! Matt

Hey Matt,

I don’t know of any others that’s I’ve personally used, I recommended that one as I’ve seen many customers use with success.

Thanks

Okay ~ thanks Chris !

Will this work with Genesis themes (Wordpress)? I want to buy this, but hate getting something and then can’t use it.

Hey there,

This isn’t a Genesis child theme and won’t work with it. It’s a standalone WordPress theme.

Thanks

Is theme compatible with wp-minify plugin?

Hey there,

It hasn’t been tested with that particular plugin, but there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be compatible.

Thanks

Hi Chris, is there an admin demo available?

Hey there,

Unfortunately there isn’t. If you have any questions I’d be more than happy to help.

Thanks

Can you write custom metadata on the root of the knowledgebase page as well as custom metadata for each knowledgebase category and article? By metadata, I’m talking about page title, page description, keywords.

Hey there,

I’m not following your questions. What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks

This was a pre-sales question but I am no longer interested. I thought this was a plugin rather than a theme (a plugin is what I need). The question was, can you have custom page titles and page descriptions for each knowledgebase article and category. That’s about as straight-forward of a question as I could have asked so not sure how to dumb it down further. Obviously, the objective is to “achieve” custom, SEO-written page titles and page meta descriptions for each article and category.

Thanks anyways

I’ve included a tagline yet I do not see it displayed at top with the logo and navigation.

Hey there,

The tagline in the demo logo is included in the logo image. The theme doesn’t show the tagline text in the header.

If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to submit a support request via http://herothemes.com/support/

Hello, I want to ask about this good theme. Does it support rtl languages like arabic or not?

Thanks…

Hey there,

Unfortunately it doesn’t. It only supports ltr languages.

Thanks

Hi! I saw there’s a rss feed for your theme loadable by typing /feed behind the domain adress. I plan to use your theme as knowledgbase, but also with a blog section: is it possible to separate blog-like entrys from the knowledgebase entrys? Because I like to offer our customers both: a blog and a knwoledgebase RSS feed. Thank you for your answer! Godd work!

Hey there,

KnowHow uses the WP posts as the knowledge base, so you can’t have two sections, whereas in Support Desk the knowledge base is a separate section.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Hi there, I purchased the Theme, but I cant seem to make the JQuery Accordion Menu Widget to work with it.

http://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-vertical-accordion-menu/

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey there,

Unfortunately we can’t assist with 3rd party plugin integrations, but if you submit a support request with a link to your site and why it isn’t working I’ll have a check to make sure there’s nothing in the theme that’s conflicting.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I noticed in the example theme the search algorithm searches the titles only? Is there anyway to tell it what to search or to include content and tags aswell ?

We are considering this for a company KB so search functionality is very important.

thanks. Justin

Chris, found your reply to the above question. so please ignore. thanks

Hey there,

The search in this theme is powered by the default WordPress search, which out of the box doesn’t do an amazing job. But, there are a few plugins that can greatly enhance the WordPress search such as: http://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/ which customers have been using successfully.

Thanks

Can user ask a question if the knowledge base does not have it just like stackoverflow.Any of your themes supports this?or is that possible with any of the plugin if so which one we can use.

Hey there,

This isn’t a feature of the theme. It may be possible with a plugin but I haven’t used any like this so couldn’t recommend one.

Thanks

This is probably a daft question, but can I use this theme on my wordpress.com premium blog?

Hey there,

Unfortunately not, you can only use ThemeForest themes on self hosted WordPress installations.

Thanks

oh, thats a shame. thanks for replying.

Hello,

Great theme, can the right side menu be relocated to left?

if not can you do this ? for me this will decide if I’m going to purchase or not.

Thank you,

Hey there,

There’s a theme options to globally configure the sidebar left/right or off.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Greetings, are the “Articles” based upon Wordpress Pages or Posts? It looks like Posts as they seem to have Categories, or is it a custom system? THX!

Hey there,

They are based on WordPress posts. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Greetings,

I’ve had your theme for quite some time, but the “Live Search” feature does not work for IE8 as of right now. My company is still using IE8 and we’ve been using your theme for a long time now. However, I just upgraded it to the latest version, and it does not seem to be working.

Hey there,

I’ve got your message so will get you setup on the support system so we can take a look at your issue.

Thanks

Thanks for setting me up, just waiting to have what I mentioned to you addressed.

My main concern is the Video support not working in IE8. You have this mentioned in your Theme description: Video Post Format Support (YouTube, Vimeo Embed & Self Hosted)

Just waiting for that to be fixed with KnowHow, otherwise, I love the theme. Thanks!

Hey John,

You should have received a reply now, feel free to update me via email.

Thanks

Hello Chris,

When I use shortcodes within an article to populate static HTML content, your theme doesn’t pick up the content to be displayed when viewing a category page. Therefore, when users search, they only see the tile of the page while the description is empty. Can you implement a fix for this?

Hey there,

This is standard WordPress behavior, excerpts only show raw text rather than any styling, shortcodes etc

If you want to specific the excerpt you can do when by populating the excerpt area when creating/editing an article. This will avoid them being blank.

Thanks

Hi,

Your theme is really beautiful. Do you have or are you working on HTML version of this theme?

Thanks

Hey there,

It’s a WordPress theme only, no HTML version is available.

Thanks
