Awesome theme and i definitely plan on buying…

I just have one question.

I noticed that the content area for the blog post is about 802, as noted in this screenshot.

http://screencast.com/t/DVOtL2KkdDg

Is it possible to make this area smaller? I would like to make it about 730px wide.

Hey swaggs!

Thanks for your interest in our theme! We created an option which allows you to simply choose the container width of the site. So you can set it between 600 and 2700px.

Regards, Alin

Awesome…thats exactly what i was hoping to hear…I’ll be purchasing soon! Thanks.

I’m glad to hear that! Cheers, Alin

i m planing to buy this theme but there is a problem with shopping. maybe i cannot see the option.

When u add one product to cart you have to buy that time. otherwise there is no way to go to cart after you add product and turn to shopping again.

so i thin you should add a menu as “show shopping cart”. thanks

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response.

You can simply add a cart as a menu item and can get back anytime to the products you already added. We opted to not create a menu item for the shopping cart but it can be done simple.

Cheers, Alin

thank you. Maybe for coming updates, it can be better to add a cart icon where also we can see how many item in it. :) thanks

Hi.

When I share a post on Facebook I don’t see thumbnail image. The only way that appears on Facebook is when I paste an image on box text, but in that case the image is double (appears at the top of the post and within the text box).

thanks!

Hi. Please open a ticket on help.pixelgrade.com and provide us with more details (URL). Thanks

Need to add sliders

(Can’t figure out how to reply to an existing comment about sliders.)

Is the only way to add a slider to use the Gallery post type and have it appear above the title?

How would one add other sliders into a post or page that look like the Royal slider you are using in the Gallery post type? (Other than spend $22 to buy the slider from CodeCanyon when it’s already in the theme Or use a free slider plugin but then it won’t match yours.)

Thanks

Hi! Can you please open a ticket and we’ll try to find a solution for your queries there? Thanks, Alin

Purchased and really enjoying working with this theme

I am trying to add videos. If I use the theme’s Video post type then the input says online services like Vimeo. But I have locally hosted videos. If I add a video to a post (using Wordpress’s embed or a plugin, the video will appear of course but it will be BELOW the title – in the post. Whereas the videos and galleries I add with your post types places these ABOVE the title.

Is there a way to add local videos with your Video post type so my posts will remain consistent?

Thanks

Can you open a ticket on our HelpDesk so we can take a closer look on this problem, please? Thank you.

Nice design . Handy. But SEO sucks. SEO announcement comes on the search form . This is preventing google top . Header.php section on page seo tags and meta tags once you are failing. It’s ridiculous really was a pity I can say that my 58 dollars .

Hi. You are not making a lot of sense as I can understand what you think is wrong. We think quite differently about the SEOsness of Heap, but hey, everyone seems to have a different take on “SEO” these days. Would you mind opening up a ticket on help.pixelgrade.com and give us some more extensive input so we can see if we can improve something. Thanks

THIS THEME NEEDS A SLIDER OPTION!!! I would have bought it today! It’s amazing!! But NO slider :(

Hi. Do you mean on the homepage? Because we do have sliders :), see http://pixelgrade.com/demos/heap/student-spotlight-folksaga-by-caleb-heisey/

Hi,

I’m wondering if it is possible to somehow specify Google font weights when choosing a Google font? For example, I choose ‘Roboto’ as my body font, and all that is added in <head></head> is the following:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto”>

Which only pulls in the 400, base weight of the font. But I would like it to include all of the other weights, like:

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700,900”>

Can this be done? Edit a PHP file somewhere?

Thank you.

Hey Matt and thank you for being our client,

You can just use the CSS @import and add the snippet on Theme Options – Custom Code – CSS:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700,900);

I hope it helps.

All the best,
George

thank you for the help :)

Hello Team Heap. Thanks for the great customer service in the past. I have recently changed my font type and the date of the post keep truncating after the month to the next line instead of showing on a single line. This leaves a huge white negative space after the author and date. I want to move the date to the bottom of the post. What should i do to move the date to the bottom of the post after the tag/category or just before the author bio. Thanks

Hey Thomas and thank you for being our client,

In order to offer a better support and keep track of the issues, for any questions, please use our HelpDesk. You may need to give us your website URL so we can see the problem.

All the best, George

My client loves this theme for their new site but they want a slider banner like in your Border theme on top. I couldn’t figure out the answer to a previous question on this. Could I code a space above the posts on the home page for this? Is this doable?

Thanks Stuart

Hi. Yes it is completely doable with custom coding (few things are). We recommend you do this in a child theme.

Thanks! Will purchase and try. I have never done a child theme but there’s always a first time… Perhaps I will ask for some help in support if I can’t figure it out.

Sure – do not hesitate to reach us through our HelpDesk. Cheers

quick pre-purchase question : is there any way to retain the social icons within the header when in mobile view?

Hi. Right now no because if the limited space available on mobiles.

shucks, that’s too bad. i really like your theme and would totally purchase if i could switch out the search function for social icons on mobile view.

Unfortunately there isn’t an outofthebox option – but with some custom work I’m sure you can easily achieve that. Regards

Hi there,

I just purchased your theme and it’s great.

I wanted to know how I can change the colour of the menu fonts? I have changed the headings colour and the others etc, but I cannot change the menu font from the black they currently are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Rachael

Hey Rachael!

Thanks for being our customer. You can try this snippet:

.nav--main > .menu-item > a { color: #445; }

All the best, Alin

Hi I bought this nice theme and i’m enjoying it. Just noticing a little but very annoying issue. Sometimes happens that scrolling up the page, more or less 150px of top posts remains under the menu both in archive and post page. How can i fix it?

Hi. Can you please open a ticket on help.pixelgrade.com and give us the url and also state that browser and OS are you using so we can investigate further? Thanks

Hi, i have the same problem as @Ufuk (http://themeforest.net/item/heap-a-snappy-responsive-wordpress-blog-theme/7422943/comments#comment_7598228) when i visited your Demo page.

Here is my environment:

- OS: MAC 10.9.4

- Browser: Firefox 31.0

- Resolution: 1280×800

- Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NQiazUr.png

hope you will fix it :)

Regards

Hey! I see now – the problem is that there the layout is splitted in two equally columns – if you have more content on the left side (author, date, number of comments) you may want to make that column larger by applying thi Custom CSS:
@media only screen and (min-width: 900px) {
  .entry__meta--header .grid__item:first-child { width: 70%; }
  .entry__meta--header .grid__item:last-child { width: 30%; }
}

That should solve your problem.

Regards, George

hi, can we easily install a user register function ?

Hi. I don’t see why not. We have strived to follow standards so no problem here. You can use a plugin, a shortcode or code you own. Cheers.

Hi! I would need the logo bigger. In the live customizer I can only scale to 129px height but would need 200px. I do not need all the space around the logo, I won’t use the social icons and search icon in the header. Is there a custom CSS code for a taller logo?

Thank you!!

Hey nelala!

You can achieve that using a Custom CSS snippet like this:
.site-title--image img { max-height: 200px; }
Let me know if it helps.

Regards,
George

Hi, I have a question. Is this theme compatible with bbpress and buddypress?

Thanks! Salah.

Unfortunately I don’t have experience with the plugins you mentioned and the Border theme, sorry about this.

One last request. Can you please give me a screenshot or an example site where the home page’s column number is set to one?

Sure – here is an example site of one of our clients: http://bit.ly/1prExcf Regards

Hi, I’m very interested in buying this theme, however some things are a bit unclear. About: Live Customizer, does this mean I could customize the home page with this to put two or three ‘featured posts’ (perhaps in a slider) on top of the other posts so they stay put while the rest of the posts are still in chronologic order? I’m looking for that kind of magazine-type layout on the home page.

Also, would there be a way to load more posts automatically once you’ve reached the bottom of the page instead having to click on the next page number?

Okay so to be clear, I can’t change the layout of the home page beyond the three options you offer? What I want is a magazine home page layout like Bucket’s, but the simple, clean style of Heap for everything else. It might be a very simple and obvious thing to do, I just don’t know. Bear with me, I’m new with this and I can’t play around with it until after I’ve made my purchase! ;)

I guess what I’m talking about is called the home page template. Is there anywhere else I can reach you directly? I really am interested to buy, I just need a few answers to simple questions like the one above. It’s a bit annoying to have to wait a couple of days for you to provide answers on this forum.

Hey! Unfortunately there isn’t an option to have a “featured posts” area or a slider in the homepage like the Bucket theme. All the features are showcased in the demo preview. Please let me know if you have other questions. Regards

I created a PAGE and in that page I used Shortcode to add tabs.

Where do I go to make edits to these tabs later? (i.e. add more content)?

Currently, all I see are these

[row ]

[/row]

[tabs]

[/tabs]

Plus, how can I add URL as content in the tabs?

Hey simplydolicious,

Sorry for the delayed response. If you haven’t figure this out already, you can simply get back anytime to the page editor and add your content between the tabs. The same you can do when adding URL there.

Regards, Alin
