Hi, Is there a way to add in something like this, manually? http://aroc.github.io/side-comments-demo/

Medium-style side (in-context) comments would be great. Instead, of the foot comments. Especially helpful for a portfolio site where people may want to comment on different aspects of a process and its output.

Hello,

We haven’t tested for compatibility with it, but this should work and might require some additional styling which you can get done by hiring a developer. All the best!

Hi,

Love the theme.

On each of the stories it says something to effect of “1 Minute Read”. Is it possible to disable that?

Thank you,

Dave

Hi, you can easily remove that by adding the following css at the custom css field under the customizer > styling options:

.reading-time {display:none;}

thanks!

Hello,

Great theme!

Quick question: how can adjust the home page layout to a 2-1-2-1 etc layout? It’s the only option not available in customized styling options.

I added a static image on my home page above my posts, so it would be great if I could follow it with 2 posts, then 1, then 2 etc..

Thank you in advance!

My friend, I followed your advise and opened a ticket 6 hours ago!!

Can you let me know when i can be expecting an answer? The ticket title is: 2-1-2-1 layout homepage

Much obliged,

Nima

PS: Are you on East Asia time zone?

Hi Nima,

Our average response time is within 24 hours. However, if you have opened a ticket regarding customizing the layout to 2-1-2-1, I am afraid that this is beyond the scope of support.

In any case, kindly expect a reply from our support crew soon.

Thanks!

Hey,

Well, I know. “Ink” isn’t designed for this, but I cannot use bbpress. I tried several things for a couple hours and non of them worked fine.

The problem is, default bbpress should make itself compatible with the theme, but inks unique page system prevents it.

You can check murekkeb.net/forums

I tried with shortcodes for pages. It actually works for showing the index. But, after you click a topic, it breaks again. Any ideas? Cheers!

Hello,

I just your site and I could see some styling issues only. We can’t really offer support for bbPress, but it’s fairly easy to get bbPress working by tweaking the single page view of bbPress.

Your best bet would be to hire a developer, and get it styled. All the best!

Is there a way to control the “featured image” that is used as the cover for a post? I want the image to be wide, but it keeps coming up as a huge square.

Also, the preview of posts seems to be having issues, it doesn’t show the updated changes to background color and cover opacity until I click “update” making preview not really useful.

Hi there

The featured image automatically adapts to the viewport or browser window. For the preview, we just use the built in WordPress customizer. Maybe it is just some server speed issue that does not allow the changes to be applied in the preview fast enough.

However if you feel this is an issue, please open a ticket at our support desk at http://support.codestag.com

I have some questions regarding this theme before I purchase:

1. On the home page, will we be able to have “latest posts” or “most popular posts” displayed as the home page image links? If so, will we be able to have latest posts in one column and most popular posts in the other column (if we’re doing the strict two-column style layout, minus the top image of course)

2. Are header images automatically darkened so that white text can show up easily or do I have to do it myself?

Hi there!

1. Not sure what you exactly mean with that actually. But most probably it sounds that what you ask is not provided out of the box, no…

2. For each featured image, you can have a background color and set an opacity to the image, so if you set a dark background color and set an opacity to the image, you can adjust the readability.

Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering if this theme supports the creation of user accounts so people can post their own stories similar to what medium.com was using it for a while back.

Hello,

No, it’s doesn’t have a feature like that—since it’s mostly focused on publishing content for readers. However, it can be easily achieved with any front end posting plugin or Gravity forms which allows front end submission. With one of these plugins and Restrict Content Pro plugin, you can easily allow other members to post content from front end.

You might see some styling problems which might need some tweak, for which you can hire any front end developer to do the job.

All the best :)

Wow, you are awesome! An answer in less than 10 minutes, I’m very impressed. Thanks for the tip. I will try it out and see what I can do. Thanks!

No problem Nick :) Let me know if there is anything else you need help with.

hello, is it possible to have more than two columns of posts in the main page? thanks

Yes, it is, by using column shortcodes. Such shortcodes are available with our free Stagtools plugin, which is suggested for INK.

Thanks!

Hi,

I just purchased this theme and have one question. I’ve downloaded the suggested plugins and I’m trying to duplicate the tiled galleries. I was able to create the tiled galleries, but I can’t duplicate the slide show the occurs when you click on a single image within the gallery. I just get a new page with a larger image, not the slide show that appears on the demo. Can you give me directions on how do to this?

Thanks Josh

Hi Josh

You just need to activate the carousel module of the jetpack plugin as well. Let me know if this works.

Thanks!

Perfect, sorry I should have figured that out on my own. Two more questions: I can’t get a comments box to appear on individual posts like the one in the demo. How did you get the two related full width photo posts to appear under the twitter & facebook icons.

Hi there

With some many questions, it is better to open a ticket at our support desk at http://support.codestag.com

Please do so and we will help asap.

Thanks!

Hey, Very nice template! :) Just one pre-purchase question: Is it possible to place over the image on main site a logo or any kind of graphic sign ?

Yes, you can create a widgetized page to do that, it will be something like this: http://demo.codestag.com/ink/another-widgetized-page-example/

You can add any element in the content area

Thank you

Hey,

  • UPDATE: Never mind—it’s been a while since I installed a theme. I didn’t unzip the dowloaded package first. *

I just purchased this theme but it won’t install. I have the latest version of Wordpress and get the following message:

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

Luke

Yeah, that was the reason ;)

Thanks!

Before I buy, I have a question. Is there an option to make the menu always visible across the top and not on the side?

Thanks for the response! I really want to use this theme, but I’ll check out Skilt as that one is beautiful as well. Is there an example to show the traditional top navigation with Skilt? I don’t see the option in the demo.

Hi there. Here is how it will look like: http://cl.ly/XYHM

Thanks!

Beautiful. Thanks!

Hello! I am very close to purchase of either this or OM – I have a tough time deciding, so I have some questions:

- Is it possible to have quote-posts? Can you choose that when creating a post?

- Possible with have another type gallery? Lightbox, instead of current?

- What is the name of the font(s) on your Doctype theme? And could they be used on INK / OM as well?

Thank you!

Hi there

- Nope, unfortunately both themes only support standard post formats. Quote posts are not supported for now.

- You can use a plugin for different gallery options

- Doctype uses Lato, it is possible to have Lato for OM and Ink too, yes.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fast reply! If I end up buying it, I will try to hire a coder to add the quote-option, then. And my other question was; I like the comment-section so much better on OM than INK. Would it be possible to transfer that or choose a different one?

Hi, if you hire a developer to do it for you it should be possible, but it is not possible out of the box and without getting your hands dirty with code.

Thanks!

This theme looks so great on mobile devices. With the majority of users consuming readable content on phones and tablets these days, I would LOVE for this theme to be swipe/touch enabled. Swipe left for menu. Swipe right for homepage. Something like that.

Anything in the works?

Hi there.

Thanks for the input, however such an update is not scheduled. Perhaps in a major future update, however we need to evaluate it and proceed accordingly. Thanks!

Beautiful theme. Really beautiful. Quick questions on customising home page

1) is it possible to set up the home page so it’s like the one you show on the themeforest page for theme – a”Welcome to Ink” Banner (Header text + body Text with Background Image) (set so it’s not clickable), with posts underneath?

2) Alternatively/additionally – can we set the author profile as the home page header – with posts underneath like http://demo.codestag.com/ink/author/testuser1/

Thanks!

Hi there

1. Of course you can.

2. Nope, WordPress does not offer an option for that. But you can easily replicate the design of the author page into a widgetized static page, and then use the recent posts widget to show the posts under it.

Thanks!

Thank you

Hi,

I’m thinking about purchasing this theme but have a quick question. I currently have a long running personal bog using a basic free theme. My blog is picture heavy and I would like to upgrade to the Ink Theme. Will a default image be used from my old blog in Ink or will I have to go back trough all my old posts and select an image to be used?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I noticed on the demo site some of the images are laid out in a collage style with captions. Is this format automatically included in the theme or is this custom coding?

No, this is a gallery that is generated by the Jetpack plugin. Just install Jetpack and activate the tiled galleries module, and it should work :)

Thanks! John

Thanks

Hi, Can you please help me on how to make the footer and footer menu exactly like yours? I’m struggling to figure out how to add the extra menu items on the footer like ‘get in touch’ etc.. and i would like to change the subscribe and login to say follow on facebook and twitter? Can you please advise me on what i should do as it’s my first time working with this theme. Many thanks

Hi there, sure. Please open a ticket at our support desk at http://support.codestag.com and we will guide you through.

Thanks!

@Kristoftekent Thanks you so much!

@sergimv Pick the code at http://www.kristofdevos.com – I’ve made the logo smaller.

Congrats for this theme!

I have a question. Where can I change the width of the logo:

<style type=”text/css” media=”all”> .custom-logo { width: 150px; height: 94px; background-size: contain;

I want width: 110px; and I don’t find the css file to change it.

Thanks.

I’ve detected another issue. In the mobile version the logo overlaps the title… in your demo too.
