Hi there Greatives,

Congrats for this theme. I spent some minutes to explore RELOAD from A to Z (I hope). I’m very interested to buy it for one of my project which manage several authors (maybe more than 50). I have some pre sale questions to be sure I have properly understood your great work.
Forgive me please for this long list.

My questions please (from A to D):
A. About the menu:
The creative menu provides an animation. Can this animation be disabled?

B About the blog:
1.Can ‘Large media‘ and ‘small media’ blog styles provide call to action section like inside other blog’s styles?
2. It seems 9 posts are published but we can only see 6 inside ‘blog 3 columns’. How can we access to older posts?
3. Can we insert more than one call to action section inside blog’s templates?
4. Inside blog posts, the author’s name is displayed at the bottom of each post. But inside blog templates, the author’s name only appears inside ‘Large média’ template and ‘Small media’ template. Is there a parameter to make it appears in each blog template?
5. About blog posts again: the author’s name only appears at the bottom of each post. If I have properly understood, we can access to archives authors only if we provide an ‘Author’ tag inside each post. Is providing author’s name inside all template with author’s name link to author’s archives an option inside RELOAD?
Actually, to build my multi-authors blog, the best for this project is to provide the ability to find everywhere authors’ archives (except inside ‘About Author’ at the bottom of each post).

C About the portfolios:
1. Just to be sure, can we disable the comments for selected portfolio’s items?
2. Inside each portfolio’s item, there are sharing options. Can these options be unique for each item?
3. Can we build unlimited portfolios with RELOAD or is there only one with different setup options?
4. If we can build unlimited portfolios, can we set exclusive categories for each one?
5. If I have one portfolio with 400 items, how does it run? I can’t see in the demo any ‘load more’ stuff or pagination.
6. Inside 5 columns portfolio, there are only 10 items but 12 are published inside all other portfolio’s set up. Where are the missing 2? How can we access to these 2?
7. In another project, I use a theme with VISUAL COMPOSER. In this other project I can use VISUAL COMPOSER to provide for example a block of few blog’s posts inside any page. Is it also possible with RELOAD? Actually, I need to insert inside each portfolio item, a block of last blog’s posts from a specific author.

D. About the sidebars:
Can we make unlimited sidebars?

As you can see, I like RELOAD very much. I’m looking for ‘the perfect theme for my last project’. Very sorry for this very long list of questions.

Warm regards

Hello,

First of all thank you very much for your kind words. We are really glad you like Reload. It’s worth to mention that any feedback is important to us. We value and appreciate receiving your presales questions and suggestions so that we can improve our items. Let’s start:

A. About the menu

Yes, this animation can be disabled (hardcoded – not from the backend)

B. About the blog

1. Yes, you can add call to action section anywhere you wish.

2. It’s just a setting for preview purposes. We selected only 9 posts for this page.

3. Yes, you can add as many as you wish.

4. Reload provides 5 different styles for your Blog (Grid style, Masonry style, Large media, Small media and Labeled style) so any user is able to select according to his current needs. At this moment, the author’s name appears only inside two styles, Large Media and Small Media.

5. In user’s profile there is an option to insert a link for each author. For example: you can add a link like http://greatives.eu/themes/reload/author/greatives/ in order to have the author’s archive by anyone who clicks on Author tag inside a post. For presentation reasons, we selected to insert an external link. In large media style anyone can find the author’s archive by clicking on his name. In single post, you can have it by clicking on “About Greatives”.

C. About the portfolio

1. Sure you can disable the comments for any portfolio item you like.

2. No, you can set the sharing options for portfolio only globally, from the backend of Reload.

3. Sure you can have unlimited portfolios.

4. This is a function which is in to-do list.

5. Pagination in portfolio has been already implemented for our scheduled update (next week)

6. It’s just a setting for preview purposes. We selected only 10 items for this page.

7. You are able to use any blocks of blog’s posts in any page you prefer. Blog element does not support this function at this moment.

D. About sidebars

You can have 5 widget areas but in future release anyone will be able to create unlimited widget areas.

Last but not least, sorry for the delayed response. If you have further questions, it would be preferable to use the contact form or our support foru, and not the comment form. We have no problem with the comment area, but we think that we create “ugly” pagination for the Themeforest. :)

Nous espérons que tu vas essayer Reload. Nous sommes ouverts à tes commentaires afin de nous améliorer.

Cordialement.

Thank you so much Greatives for your concern. Thank you also for your good french.

No problem :)

Yesterday a used a update to WP 3.9 – now the theme options doesn’t work :( – please check this out

Hello,

Please check that you have installed the latest version of Reload (version 1.0.3). There is no compatibility problem with the latest version of Reload and WP 3.9

Cheers.

mmh – latest theme version is online – now i try to install from the scratch

We would appreciate if you could confirm that everything works fine

I have having a maddening issue.

When I go to the bottom on a page, editing it. I select the page options I want, for example, I check the box to hide the page title. I go up, hit ‘Update’. Then…my settings were not saved. The box is magically unchecked and the page title is not hidden.

I can do the same for page width for example. I can set it to full width, go up, save the page, and when the page reloads all of the default settings are back.

Any advice?

Hello,

We’ve just checked everything you are referring to. All seems to work perfectly.

Give us more details (like URL) in our support forum so we will further examine it.

Cheers.

We’ve just noticed the URL in your support ticket. We’ll check this right now. Thanks.

I can’t install WPBakery Visual Composer

WPBakery Visual Composer >

Unpacking the package…

Installing the plugin…

Destination folder already exists. /home/jhandigi/public_html/tubeplot/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/

Plugin install failed.

What’s the problem?

Cheers

Hello,

It seems that you have already installed Visual Composer. You probably don’t use a clear installation.

Firstly, try to deactivate and unistall Visual Composer and then reinstall the version which is included in Reload theme.

Regards.

hi, is it possible to have multiple pictures stacked vertically on this page- http://greatives.eu/themes/reload/portfolio/portfolio-single-image/

also, do the images need to be a specific size?

thanks!

Hi,

The single image that you see on this page is the featured image. You can have multiple pictures stacked vertically by using the Visual Composer and the Single Image element. Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/3abt81 The images in single portfolio do not need a specific size.

Cheers.

perfect! thanks for the quick response.

Hi,

Do you use the WordPress SEO by Yoast? Have you installed the updated version 1.0.2 of Reload?

Please, open a ticket in our support forum where you will give us more details (e.g: URL)

Thanks.

Hi

The first congratulate you by the theme… is fantastic!

I’ve done the installation and not charge me the higher menu svg contact, search and share. Nor do I load the up arrow.

Know why these images are not loaded??

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your kind words, we are glad you like Reload. :)

Go to Theme Options—> Header Options in order to enable/disable any of the icons. Check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/3a7e1v

In case of further problems, don’t hesitate to open a ticket in our support forum.

Cheers.

the visual composer can’t work at portfolio. but can work at page and post normally. please help me.

Hello,

Visual Composer works perfect at portfolio. Are you sure that you have enabled it? You have to go on Settings—>Visual Composer and check the content type portfolio.

Cheers.

Hi, Great work! Does it support youtube background video’s?

Hello,

Glad you like Reload! It supports HTML5 video background. Visit the page http://greatives.eu/themes/reload-classic/creative/ , see this screenshot http://prntscr.com/39uyq8 and watch this video tutorial https://vimeo.com/91531914 .

Regards.

This theme is amazing, but it does come with a learning curve. Buckle up for an adaptation period…

For context, I’ve developed Wordpress websites casually for 7 years, and it still takes some getting used to. But once you figure it out, it’s good and fast to tweak it as needed.

Hello,

First of all, we are glad you like Reload. Secondly, we appreciate receiving any suggestions so that we can improve Reload. It will be very useful for us if you could send us more feedback and suggestions via our support forum or by using contact form.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards.

Hey Super theme. One Pre-Sales Question. Need to know if we can add multiple images within a single portfolio item? As seen in websites like coroflot or behance ?

Hello,

Glad you like Reload. Yes! Sure you can. First of all you can create a gallery above your portfolio content ( http://greatives.eu/themes/reload-classic/portfolio/cras-vitae/ ). Besides that, via Visual Composer you can add multiple images (galleries) within a single portfolio item.

Regards.

Got it ! Glad to know that’s possible. Thank you for your response :) But what about a Full Width portfolio page / item. is that do-able?

Very Good theme!!, wait woocommerce integration :)

Thank you very much for your review! :)

We will consider all suggestions as improving Reload with new features (like Woocommerce) in future releases.

Cheers.

Do you have full install instructions? My top navigation is broken and cannot figure out why.

Also, are all the pictures from the demo site not included with the theme?

Please let me know, thanks.

Tom

Hello,

Have you watched the video tutorial https://vimeo.com/91670554 ? What do you mean by saying “top navigation is broken” ?

The images included in preview are for demonstration purposes only. Most of them are used from markjsebastian, picjumbo.com and unsplash.com.

In case that you have further problems, please use our Support Forum

Regards.

Hi there. Very nice theme. I really like the bottom logo / buttons in combination with the right side black vertical menu.

Is it possible to permanently have that showing and have the content adjust horizontally to account for it? Obviously right now the content shows behind the menu.

Thanks!

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your kind words.

Unfortunately, Reload has not been designed for the style you describe. At this moment, Reload provides two completely different header-menu styles (one click change in the backend) in order to satisfy multiple users’ categories.

However, we will consider any suggestion for future releases as to improve Reload. Thanks for your feedback!

Best Regards.

Fair enough. What I personally dont care for on my sites is the 3 line horizontal menu button instead of the normal menu.

Let me give you a short example why: I had a site and theme that had something similar to your button and it had a terrible home page bounce rate of around 82%. After looking at google analytics and seeing the hotspots, I switched to another theme with a regular menu and using the exact same content the bounce rate dropped to down 31%. What that told me was those menu buttons don’t work well for many website visitors.

So thats a long way of asking if the theme can be forced to show the regular menu instead? Even on iPad / iphone vertical optimized views?

Thanks!

We completely understand your concerns around the menu and the practical way of navigation for many users. Remember, we just try to satisfy multiple users’ categories.

So, you would prefer the Classic version of Reload that will be forced to use the horizontal menu (or regular vertical) even on iPad/iphone. In such a scenario, responsive behavior is off. We can’t imagine how else this can occur.

Cheers.

great theme.Any idea about when you are adding counter element to VC. Feature request…. your theme will rock pl add more feature like 1] menu with icon 2] menu position to right or left thanks

Hi,

First of all we are glad you like Reload.

Your suggestions are valuable to us and will be considered as part of our future releases to improve Reload. We intend to add more features (like counter element) shortly but firstly we have to provide outstanding support to all of our customers.

Last but not least, if you are satisfied with the service you have received from us, don’t forget to rate Reload. :)

Cheers.

Is it possible to create a Testimonial Page or column using this theme?

Hi,

Testimonial is a custom taxonomy on Reload. You can make multiple categories and testimonial items. Afterwards, you can use the Testimonial element (extended in Visual Composer) to add testimonials in any page or column.

Cheers.

I am very sorry to say that I am a novice in website building / wordpress. Could you please explain to me ( considering me as a layman ) in a simple way ?

Thanks

Hi,

In page http://greatives.eu/themes/reload-classic/classic-elements/ you can see the two different styles for testimonial (horizontal and vertical navigation). By saying “custom taxomony”, we mean something like classic posts in WP. You have the ability to create categories and new testimonials (like new posts) to publish your content. Then, use the Testimonial Element to show testimonials anywhere you like. Check these screenshots http://prntscr.com/39f7ko , http://prntscr.com/39f7nf .

We hope this is helpful for you! :)

Regards.

Wow – beautiful!

Any plans to integrate Slider Revolution so it can be an option to use as main slider? Not bothered about it being included as a copy—just ability to use so it can control full width elements and not be restricted to page/container elements.

thanks.

Hi,

We’re glad you like Reload!

This theme has not been designed to integrate Slider Revolution. However, we will consider all suggestions for future releases!

Regards!

Thanks for the reply

Hi i really like your theme. I would like to know if i can put a video in home page in the place of the animation because i need to put a video??? Thanks

Hi,

As you can notice in Creative Page you can have a video backgound as element anywhere you like. You can also watch this video tutorial https://vimeo.com/channels/720134/91531914.

Keep in mind that in Original version of Reload you are not able to use a video element above the header. The elements that can be used above header are: Parallax Slider, Single Image and Google Map. However, video on top will be one of our next features.

Regards!

oH :((((!!!!ok i hope soon it will be!!!i wait for upgrade because i like so much your template and the gallery is fantastic :) bye

Thank you very much! Bye :)

hi.How to change home slider images?thanks

Hi,

Please watch this video tutorial https://vimeo.com/91529417

It s nice theme and I would like to buy it. I have a question. The colour of the tabs, button, accordions etc look green. Is it possible to change the colour of these elements ?

Hi,

Certainly you can easily change any color (tabs, button,..) you see in our preview. This (looks green) color is just the primary color in our style options panel. Check this out http://prntscr.com/38xloo

Best Regards!
