Hi, I posted a message yesterday on MegaTheme support, regarding the revolution slider (and the Skylab last version). I updated Skylab 1.2.3 with “the latest” revolution slider, but when I look at extensions info in my admin, the revolution slider version is still 2.3.9.1… Could you please let me know if this is normal and what I should do / cf recent hacking problems… Just want to be sure the site is safe… Thanks ! Marie

Hi, see in inc/plugins/revslider.zip.

I did it already thanks. Indeed the release_log tells it’s the 4.6 version. My question is WHY it’s not the same info in the wp admin ? And also, can I then be sure that the good latest version is running as WP admin tells it’s still 2.3.9.1… See what I mean ? -> Would be much more easier to check versions we have through the admin, than going into each concerned file in the big theme file… And it’s disturbing to have infos that are not coherent between theme files and the admin… Thanks. M.

Hello, I wanted to update Revolution slider as I was notified about existing vulnerability but it is not in my download options. My revolution slider version is Version 2.3.91. Where so I download updated version without purchasing it? It was part of Skylab, correct? Thanks for your help. Karel Flugr

Hello, see in inc/plugins/revslider.zip.

I’m Running Revolution Slider – Version 3.0.5 with Skylab Portfolio / Photography WordPress Theme v1.1.9 Is it affected by a serious vulnerability in a WordPress?

Hi, in the latest aupdate we have added the latest version of Revolution Slider.

hi, does it support wordpress 4.0 ? thanks

Hi, yes it’s compatible with WordPress 4.0.

Hi,

I can not import the Skylab Demo completely. There are missing images and menus everytime. I’ve downloaded the latest Skylab theme from my envato account and I’ve reset everything before installing the theme. But nothing changes.

What could be the problem?

Thanks

Just bought this great looking theme yesterday and am working to create a test site. Everything seems to work well, except for one thing which I cannot figure out:

I would like my portfolio item to have a single image in a slider, because I want the image to show above title and details (so I do not want to put the image in the portfolio post). Portfolio is set to images, slideshow, default. However, the “Add portfolio gallery images” link/script doesn’t seem to do anything and doesn’t add images. So in the frontend you see: “No images found, please add some images.”

I’m running on a local development server with PHP 5.5.16 and Apache 2.4.10. Any PHP extensions I need to enable or code to change? Can you give me a tip on how tro resolve/fix this? Thanks!

Ah, and WP 4.0, forgot to mention

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

As a Home page for a blog I am using a page with a portfolio template. I have created 26 portfolios but the home page only displays 24. How do I change that? http://studio-asphalte.com

Very nice template by the way!

OK Sory, it was a problem with the cache.

Hi, wipphotography opened a debate it seems… I agree, MegaTheme could have a stronger support, with a forum where you could easily find your answers, as http://wpshower.com have. But for the design part of the Skylab Theme, I guess we were 3207 people to buy it after seeing how it looks like? And I hope we are almost 3206 persons who want to keep the same features! So you can’t just push to have your convenient blog design. But as MegaTheme suggested you, it”s a wordpress theme, and you can modify what you need, it’s just question of time to learn, or money to hire someone to do it! regards

I have WP 4.0 and im trying to instal this theme.zip. WP says theme is missing style.css file.

Hi.

I bought your theme a couple of weeks ago and for the most part, I really like it. But I must say it is terribly annoying that you cannot fix a few things yourself without the need to get an outside developer to do it.

I would like to be able to have my blog articles listed with just an excerpt. Not the entire blog post each time. As this is a photography focused theme, it is pretty essential that you add some way of either allowing a masonry style layout as some people requested but more so, the basic layout to a blog that is available pretty much everywhere else. We should be able to have the choice to show entire blog posts or just a featured image with an excerpt with the option to “read more”.

These blogs will mainly be image heavy and it is highly unlikely that we will be able to keep potential customers on our website if they have to scroll and scroll continuously. There should be an excerpt option. It’s just unlikely in this day and age that a blog will keep a potential client engaged if they cannot pop in and out of blog posts as they like.

Many times, I have searched for ways to change the layout of certain pages and have found you answering to a lot of people that you have no intention on adding that feature or that we would need to hire a developer. You are the creator of this theme and being paid a nice amount of money every time someone buys your theme, the least you could do is add these basic features that we wish to make use of.

If my sums are correct, you must have made somewhere in the region of $150,000 by this stage. To keep replying to your customers by copy and pasting snippets of the documentation or saying “please read documentation”. It’s terrible customer support and really, you should be doing more to be of use. I have bought at least 15 themes and never have I seen such poor customer support. Which is such a shame as I actually think this theme has the most potential out of all the themes I have previously purchased.

I never leave posts like this, even if things irk me… but the fact that I can’t even have a simple blog post format the way I would like, baffles me. We can’t even centre the content if we want to. You really should look into sorting this out. I shouldn’t have to pay money to hire a developer when I have paid you and people will continue to pay you for this theme. Copy and pasting the documentation does not count as support.

P.s

The only real option I can see is using a slider in the blog posts to keep them shorter which really isn’t an option when it comes to good SEO. It’s useless really. Everyone hates sliders generally and people like to be able to control what they see and when. It will only make viewers leave the website.

You should make the image auto resize when it comes to featured images etc. This is a bit of a pain and your proportions of landscape images for the portfolio layout isn’t even scaled correctly either. Not only do we have to resize images to fit the column layout, we have to crop them too.

There is also an issue with your portfolios. When a portfolio page is loading, the images jump about and start to stack up in a vertical position before finally aligning themselves horizontally so the viewer can start scrolling through images.

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

You can truncate your blog entries so that only the first part of certain posts is displayed on the blog page. Read more http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

Hello, I’m looking for the masonry/magnific popup gallery but i can’t find it. It’s an extra plugin i should install? I’d like also to change the highlight color of the gallery. Now is black. It’s possible? Thanks

As the sales page of a blog theme setting should appear like the portfolio, gallery and slider setting appears in the Advanced Admin Panel, but does not appear … this is my doubt … what is wrong? the image on the screen or sale my theme option … image of the page of the topic - image of my theme options – The documentation is only entering the page with the posts on the site but nothing about settings … and the bottom of the blog page just goes blank … unlike the portifolio and gallery that Segem formatting style … and as how to configure the widgets? Only in css?

You can configure blog in Settings > Reading. You can read more about widgets here http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets

Hi. Setting My Blog does not appear in the theme options. Why? How do I upgrade? Already downloaded and installed again but still does not work. Wait. Thank you

Hi, please read the documentation that comes with the theme, any common questions can be answered within the documentation.

How can i install ” install demo data—one click install ” ?

Hi, I just updated Skylab and Wordpress and now my gallery links don’t work. When I click on them, they just turn into the 404 error page. Nothing looks wrong in my Admin Panel, links are all intact.. I can’t figure out what is wrong. Can you please help?

Hi, please create a support ticket by following this link http://megatheme.ticksy.com/ and we will take a look.

Ok I put in the ticket. I rolled my site back to before I did the update so my clients can see the gallery. So there might not seem like there is a problem right now. I left my Login and Pass in the ticket, feel free to log in and do whatever you need to fix this. Thank you Mega Team!

Hi. Thanks for a great theme. The only issue I have is that the defined logo is made tiny on the iphone version of the site. I would rather it filled the top of where all the white space is, next to the menu button.

the site is: hagenland.com

and here is a screenshot from iOS on iPhone: http://www.hagenland.com/x/IMG_0496.PNG

Also, when using a fill image like I have done, if it could try and fit the image in height wise as well as width wise. (or at least have that as a configurable option)

Thanks for your design. Before purchasing, I’d like to be sure about an issue…

Is it possible to use super smooth slider in a single project page which contain title, descriptin, client, date info like in this link ( http://demo.megathe.me/skylab/portfolio/new-look-new-hart/ ) I mean, I prefer Single Project Super Smooth Slider instead of Single Project iosslider.

If it’s not, is it possible to link the thumbnails which are shown in portfolio list to super smooth slider?

Thanks in advance.

There aren’t any plans to add this in next releases.

I have a logo problem. I’ve uploaded retina@2x logo as twice resolution of normal logo. In my mobile site, logo appears very small. I don’t understand why. You can check derenuysal.com

Hello. I received an e-mail to update the theme. How to install the update of the theme please?

Thank you. :)

Hi, first visit your downloads tab and re-download the new version.

Next activate default WordPress theme and uninstall old Skylab theme. After that navigate to Appearance > Add New Themes > Upload page. Select skylab.zip file. Press the Install Now button to upload and install the theme.

After uploading the theme, you have to activate it. Navigate to Appearence -> Themes page to activate the theme.

It’s ok! Thank you
