How can I make my site load faster? I don’t have that many photos, but the site seems to take too long loading, especially the sliders and the portfolio galleries.
I’ve used the plugin WP Super Cache on other sites and it helps, but I’m wondering if you guys have any other suggestions or if you can recommend that plugin or others compatible with the theme.
Thanks.

What’s your ticket ID?
Ticket #324127 
Thanks. Just assigned it to our support team 
Thanks for your help on this via the ticket. My file sizes were too large for the number of images in the galleries, but now that I’ve resized them, as per your direction, they load very quickly.
You’re welcome. Glad we could help.

I did add another reply to that ticket, though, which is that I’m having an issue with the Home link in my menu. Can you have support look at that for me please. I have to hit refresh when I’m on my homepage or it simply won’t load. But when I add ”/home” to the end of my site address it loads fine,
It’s ticket #324127
Thanks.

Ok, all good now, thanks. Changed the Page Transition to “No Animation” in the Select General Options, as per support.
Question regarding content on the site, though > Does having multiple copies of images in the media library affect the site’s load speed at all? I’ve resized many images now, compressed others as per your suggestion, but the original versions are still in the media library. Should I be deleting those, or does that not matter in terms of the site’s performance?
Also, what about all the demo posts and pages, etc, that I imported but I'm not using? Should they be changed to Drafts or deleted?
Thanks!
Hi,
These images and pages shouldn’t affect the site speed at all since they are not being loaded when a user accesses the site. If you like, you can freely delete the images and pages you are not using, but you don’t need to and it shouldn’t affect the load time of your site at all.

Ok, cool. Thanks!
You’re welcome. Glad we could help.

Hi
I have a couple of questions on the SEO settings within the theme. Is it possible to display the title of the site after the page when using your default SEO boxes? At the moment it’s displaying Soho Sonic | About Us but I’d like it to display About Us | Soho Sonic.
Also is there an easy way to change each page title to H2 as the current H1 is conflicting with my SEO.
Thanks so much!

I have another question 
what size did you prepared your images for the portfolio list and what settings did you use on the 4 columns wide demo…?
my image are at different size at the moment and it doesn’t display very well.. when I set set the image size to square in doesn’t output a square ratio at all.. every images keeps their ratio and some are longer and screw with the height of the row…
thank you!
Hi,
We used 550×654px images, and we set the portfolio list image size to “portrait”. However, we have checked on our side and when we set the images to square they display correctly in square proportions. If you are still having issues with this, please submit a ticket to http://select.ticksy.com/ with a link to your site and temp wp-admin access so our support team can inspect this issue and help you solve it.

Hi I was wondering how to get the portfolio list to take the full width of the page like in the demo..
can’t seem to find the option… is it in the visual composer interface?
thanks for the help..
Hi,
For this you first need to make sure that the page template for the page you set your portfolio list on is set to full width. Then you need to go edit the row your portfolio list is in, and make sure that it is also set to full width: http://screencast.com/t/GIjNan3j96JS

I’ve added the code below (indicated by you in an earlier comment) to my custom css but the About This Project still appears on some of my portfolio pages.
.portfolio_single .portfolio_detail .q_about_title{ display: none; }
Is this code supposed to remove the About This Project title?
Thanks.
Hi,
If you want to hide this text from all portfolio single templates, please add the following code to your custom css:
.portfolio_single .portfolio_detail .q_about_title, .portfolio_single .portfolio_single_text_holder > h2 {
display: none;
}
Hope this is helpful.

Hi. love the theme, but the video background option on a slide does not work on iPad or iPhone, and has a margin on the right of 100px or so in Safari. I love this feature, but can’t use it unless it works on these platforms. Any ideas?
thanks, Mike
Hi,
Regarding the video on mobile devices, the video has been disabled for mobile devices because most mobile devices are not compatible with html5 video element.
Regarding your issue with the slider in Safari, please try by adding the following code to your custom css field:
.carousel-inner .video{position: static; left: 0; direction: ltr;}
If this doesn’t help, please submit a ticket to http://select.ticksy.com/ with a link to your site and temp wp-admin access so our support team can inspect this issue and help you solve it.
Select
thx. so what do you suggest we do about the big black space where the video is supposed to be on mobile devices? appreciate your time. mike
Hi,
You can set a video preview image to display on mobile devices. If you go to a video slide you will see underneath the three fields for uploading your video files an option to upload a video preview image. The image that you set here will display instead of the video on mobile devices.
Hope this is helpful.

You can disable this by going to Select Options > Blog and setting Blog Select Like to “off”, and in Select Options > Portfolio setting Show Portfolio Select Like to “off”.

I went in to re-create the error to send you a link. I now have the portfolio at 3 columns instead of the original 5 and the error does not appear. (At 5 it still appears.) I’ll wait to submit to see if we are keeping the 3 columns.

How do I make headers and text have superscript? I am trying to make symbols like copyright and registered trademark at the correct height and they become smaller when you use the < superscript > code, but they sit on the type baseline. (sorry, the formatting will not let me enter the correct code, it is carrot sup carrot.)
Hi,
When you are adding the text to your page in a text block element, switch from the Visual to the Text panel in the text editor, and there wrap the word you would like in superscript in the superscript tag: http://screencast.com/t/vHZZwfXXxfl
and then when you switch back to the visual tag it should display properly there: http://screencast.com/t/9ebqqdDs
and to make it display this way on your page as well, try by adding the following code to your custom css field:
sup {
vertical-align: super;
}
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, the custom css worked!
Great, we’re glad we could help.

Hi.
1.- Is there anyway i can change the language of the contact form? I need it in spanish. 2.- I can not change the permalinks to custom. 3.- how can i set the diamong pattern on background?
Hi,
1. To change these texts please use the Codestyling Localization plugin. After you install it, go to Tools > Localization and there choose the Themes tab. Click on the edit button beside the language and there you will find a list of words you can translate/change. Select the non-case sensitive check-box and then search the word you want to translate/change. After finishing all your edits, click the generate mo-file button and you will have added the changes.
2. To do this, you can go to Settings > Permalinks and choose custom structure and there add the structure you would like for your permalinks. If this doesn’t work, please submit a ticket to http://select.ticksy.com/ with a link to your site and temp wp-admin access and our support team will take a look and help.
3. If you would like to set this pattern on the background of some row, you can go to edit that row in visual composer and there you will see the option to choose a background image. Just select the pattern from the media library and select the “Use pattern as background image” checkbox.
Select
Thanks! 1.- OK 2.- Ticket submitted 3.- OK

Hi
Can I just check the optimum size for the homepage slider images? I’m currently using high res images that are 2000px wide and they still look fuzzy. You can see the slides at http://www.lazydogmusic.com
Thanks 
Hi,
We use 1920×976 in our demos. We took a look at your site and didn’t notice that the images were fuzzy. Maybe some parts of the images are out of focus, but this is the same in the original images as it is when they are put in the slider.
Select
Thanks, I think it must be my eyes!
Also, is it possible to show the map on the contact page in the same colours as the standard Google map ie yellow, green and blue?
Thanks again! 
Hi,
Yes, you can change this by going to Select Options > Contact page and setting Google Map Style to “no”. This the default Google map style will be displayed.

I am interested in purchasing the theme, but am a little concerned by the lack of color. In visual composer/admin panel can I add accent colors to things like icons, pie graphics, accordions etc? Or is the bulk of the site stuck with black and white?

Yes you can change both general colors for the site, as well as colors for individual elements.

Hi there. Really great theme! I would just like to know if there is any way to add in some script that will notify users using IE8 or below. If you were using modernizr, I could add some jquery to show an alert to users.
I’d essentially like to place the following in the <head> of the html:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<script type="text/javascript">alert('Please update your browser');</script>
<![endif]-->
Please advise which template file I need to edit to place this in. Thanks!
Nevermind, I found the template: header.php
Hi,
You can add this to the header.php file inside the <head> tags. However, you might want to do this in the child theme, so your changes don’t get lost on theme update.

I really like this theme. But before I purchase I just want to make sure that it will suit my needs. I am a newbie to this so I am a bit uncertain about different features.
I am starting up as an communication freelancer so I want a few pages describing my skills, references, etc. But the homepage I want to use primarily for blogging on. For a start I would like a masonry blog grid on the homepage (boxed layout) and a sidebar with a short presentation of my self, my latest tweets and preferably an Instagram feed.
Is something like that possible and do you think your theme would be good for my purpose?
It is also important for me, that it is easy to share my posts on social platforms.
Your theme is great and it also seems that there is a friendly and timely support, which is another major reason for choosing this theme 
I am looking forward to hear from you 
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in our theme.
You can set your home page to boxed with a masonry style blog list on it and a sidebar. The sidebar is a widget area, so you could add a text widget to add information about yourself, and find some plugin for twitter feed and instagram
Regarding sharing posts on social platforms, we have integrated sharing options on all single posts, for example: http://demo.select-themes.com/soho/portugal-2013-road-trip-gallery/ you can see the share icons at the bottom of the content.
