Hello. Why i see “0 min read” on every article in our blog? http://uxmoose.ru/ux-virality/peredacha-i-k-faktor.html
Hi rinat-shaikhutdinov,
To calculate the time, Literatum uses first the function to count the number of words in the posts, so I think this is the same problem of word count and cyrillic words.
I’m going to investigate this and try to make it works for the next update. 
Thank you.
Hi Kohette:
I’m using this theme with the homepage being “your latest posts.”
Is there a way to choose which posts show? In other words, can I hide certain posts from the homepage?
Thanks.

Hi DamnMag,
Not currently, but in the next update you can to filter by category the posts of the frontpage.
is there a way to make the desktop screen look exactly like the mobile version? one post at a time ?
Hi dperezr,
Sorry, at this time not exists a way to make this.
Hi! I got your theme. Is very nice, but… I got problem. Why I have some „blank spots” in homepage? Please go and checkt it out: http://www.dabudubida.com and tell me, what to do, to get it looks right – thx!
Hi dabudubida,
Set the posts per page option to a number multiple of 3 (6, 9, 12, etc) in Settings / Reading.
Great! Now looks good :]
Second problem: I can’t change the font size and type in „Frontpage header title”.
And another question: is there any way to enable ‘latin-ext’ when choosing font type?
Nice 
You are using the “mosaic grid” frontpage style. The frontpage options are for the others styles of frontpage. I guess that you want change the font for the logo. This can’t be changed at this moment, I recommend you to upload an image logo instead.
Sorry, currently this can’t be do it through the theme options. 
Hello,
Why you don’t have any photo viewer? Every time I click on photo I get redirected to image file. No any image viewer?
Hi stanwildify,
Nop, Literatum don’t have any built-in photo viewer at this time. But it is compatible with third party photo viewers like the one of JetPack.
Thanks Kohette for a prompt reply. I don’t want to use JetPack as I think it’s a very heavy plugin. Have you tested your theme with JetPack? Can you tell if the speed is same fast as it is right now?
Also, second question about fonts, can I change fonts of headers, titles and other text easily with some other font types from Google library?
That’s is also the reason why I’m not including a photo viewer in Literatum, I want to keep the theme simple and fast and I prefer the user select his favourite photo viewer instead. 
I tested Literatum with JetPack and I don’t appreciated any notable speed down. But I don’t measured this in detail.
Yes, in customize options you can change the font family, size, style etc for all of these elements.
Thank you!! Can you tell at least the best viewer you can think of for your amazing theme? I mean the one that will be light and fit the style of Literatum. I hate when just simple photo viewer requires 10 javascripts to load.
Maybe in future you can implement your own photo viewer? something like this: https://mmulcahy.exposure.co/white-birchBecause really it is a must have for great user experience.
Also, have you tested it with W3 Total Cache plugin and Yoast Wordpress SEO? These are 2 essential plugins I have to use.
Also, apart from that bug with copying the text (not selecting) one already mentioned, I have this issue.
Is there any way to auto shorten the text when trying to tweet it? I mean this: http://take.ms/YkG6M
This guy implemented auto text shortening when tweeting: http://themes.pixelwars.org/readme-wp/a-story-about-knowing-the-value-of-simplicity/ also, they don’t have this bug when copying the text. Can you promise that you will fix these bugs? I really want to buy your theme.
Hi,
I only test the theme with the viewer of Jetpack and the one of Aesop Story Engine. With both work well but I not tested in detail the js calls, performance, etc. My recommendation is the simpler you can find, the better.
Yes, I thinking in adding a simple photo viewer in the future as feature, but I can’t tell you when this would be available.
I don’t tested the theme with W3 Total Cache or Yoast Wordpress SEO. But it shouldn’t be problems with them.
For the share tooltips I’m using/modifying a js library that works in a very general way for these kind of share links. But I will try to change it to make this automatic shorten text in the case of Twitter.
I can’t promise that I will fix these bugs! I only can promise that I will try 
PS: Sorry for my english, I’m typing fast!
Thank you Kohette!! Amazing theme! Please keep improving it. Going to buy it now as an investment into future updates.
Just bought it ! Amazing work !
Can you send me the demo content (.xml) please ? Thanks
Sorry yannis42700, I can’t. I don’t have the rights to share the images and contents of the demo 
Hi, I have a problem after the installation of the theme : www.limpetueux.fr
What can I do ?
Hi!
Enter in theme options and uncheck the checkbox to deactivate the “CSS Combine” feature.
The CSS combine feature get all the css files from the CSS directory and merge them in a unique file. The configuration of some servers don’t allow to access correctly to these files, causing this problem.
Hi rinat-shaikhutdinov,
It looks like a little bug. You can try to select the text twice. First you will see the text like in your screen, then select the same text one more time and you will see the test like in this image: http://postimg.org/image/ju1y8q2nn/, then you can copy it.
Also you can click in the twitter icon and copy the text from the popup window.
Do you plan to fix this bug?
Yes, I will try.
Hi Kohette!
Thanks for a really nice looking theme. It was easier to set up than I thought. But (yes, there is a but), I am having some major problems.
One of the problems is all listings. The loops does not return any visible results.
Here’s a category page, which should list plenty of posts: http://wolber.se/kommunikation/(Yes, I have a plugin that hides /category/ base in the url. And yes, I have tried to inactivate it, but it didnt help) (And yes, I have tried to change between your two listing versions, but none works)
Here’s a tag page: http://wolber.se/tagg/roi/ And here’s the author page: http://wolber.se/author/xingyiquan/ And here we have the search results page: http://wolber.se/?s=test Another problem is the ”Next” and ”Previous” box in the end of each article, at the post page (which also is < l i >, so I suspect it’s related) For example: http://wolber.se/inbound-marketing-klassiska-saljtratten/I have also experienced problems with the menu not working. I have really tried hard to find a bullet proof way to reproduce the error, and I think this is it:
If you land on post directly, the menu does not work. For example: http://wolber.se/inbound-marketing-klassiska-saljtratten/ But, if you visit the startpage and then goes to the post, it works just fine. This makes me wonder if there is any script that needs to be loaded, and only loads on the startpage?I have read the documentation, inactivated plugins that could interfere, and deleted cache for both WP and my browser.
Now I’m totally clueless.
Looking forward to your assistance
Thanks!
Hi lyreskog!
I think all these issues are coming from the same problem. You have to update your Wordpress to the latest version. Your actual version is 3.8.4, the latest version is 4.0.
Literatum uses the function “get_the_permalink”. This function is only present in the version 3.9.0 (and above) of Wordpress. That’s the problem. 
I’m so stupid. How can all my brain cells not be enough for figuring out this my self… GAH.
Oh well. I clicked the update button and it all fell into place. Works like a charm!
I learned a lesson here 
Sorry for bothering you and thanks a lot for your time and patience!
Thanks! You’re doing a great job! 
What a beautiful theme! Before I purchase it, one question: is it compatible with http://aesopstoryengine.com/ ?
Thanks!
Good question! Just now I’m working to make the theme fully compatible with Aesop Story Engine in the next update. Keep on tune 
Thanks! You’re doing a great job! 
Hi.
I’m trying to tune the theme right and by now I have 3 issues.
1. After installation I don’t see any css files except for empty style.css. Look at this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/where%20are%20css%20files.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/where%20css%20-%202.png Why is it so? I use wordpress 4.0 from godaddy.2. Is it possible to make post looks like category page? In other words, I’d like to have just a wide banner above the post but not the huge image as a cover for the post. If it is possible, how can I do this?
3. Disqus looks ugly. It’s too wide. How can it be corrected? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/disqus%20issue.pngYou can look closer at the result here http://alexeev.biz
Thanks.
Hi dmitriyalexeev,
1.- The real css files are in the folder “css” in the theme directory. The style.css only work in Literatum to indicate the info about the theme. (it’s a mandatory file)
2.- I’m not sure. You can modify the size of the cover with some CSS but I don’t know if you are wanting this exactly. The post title, subtitle, etc, always appear inside the cover.
To change the height of the post cover in single post pages you can enter this code in the Custom CSS option:
body.single .article-card.squarebig {
height:500px;
}
You have all the elements of the post cover defined in the style-cards.css file.
3.- I don’t know why the disqus form appear full width in your site. In Literatum is designed to appear with the same width of the post content, like this:
http://kohette.com/wpthemes/literatum/5-years-cruising-the-world-brian-trautman-crew-still-living-the-dream/#disqus_threadMaybe some plugin or anything similar is in conflict with this?
Thanks a lot. The issues resolved. Let me ask some more questions.
1. How can I make text more compact? 1) Align to the left all list elements and headings. 2) Reduce spaces above and over lists. Here it is what I have: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/what%20i%20have.png Here it is what I want: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/what%20i%20want.png
I tried to play with CSS and got some results, but anyway I couldn’t figure out the whole solution.
2. How can I eliminate an arrow under each post? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/shevron.png
3. Is it possible to show post subtitle on the “articles in 3 columns”, “simple list of articles” front page styles? It seems illogical to hide subtitles on front pages since there are main points are in them.
4. There is an error in word counting when the words are cyrillic. Is it possible to fix?
5. Do I understand right that it isn’t possible to share (on FB and Twitter) category pages? Why?
Many thanks in advance.
Ok. I have resolved 1st and 2nd issues. Could you please assist me in last 3 question.
Also I have some more.
6. On iPhone I see the following things without any margins: text sticked to the borders of the screen. 6.1. “simple list of articles” 6.2. comments 6.3. bottom area of a post (with text “archive in” and “follow this article”)
And and I couldn’t find any trick with css which would help me to resolve the issue. What style elements can correct that?
Hi dmitriyalexeev,
3.- Sorry, at this time it’s not posible without modify the theme files.
4.- I’m not sure. To count words I’m using a native function by WordPress but I will check it out. Thanks for the report. 
5.- Why you say that?
6.- To adapt the theme to iPhone I’m using the developer tools of google chrome. It look fine in it (see the images below) but it seems that in real world don’t work as expected u.u. I will try to get an iPhone to check these issues ASAP. Meanwhile you can try to fix it playing with the CSS of these elements if you want/need it. All elements of the post content are defined in the style-articles.css file. If meanwhile you can find a way to fix these things, I would appreciate so much.
(it’s not easy to found a iPhone around me)
NOTE: If you are modifying the theme I recommend you to do it using always the Custom CSS option to keep the changes for the next updates.
Sorry for my english, I’m typing fast!
Tank you very much for all the answers. My comments.
5. I don’t see any share buttons on this page http://themeforest.net/item/literatum-just-write/full_screen_preview/8523411
6. I’ve created custom css. Here it is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/css.css And iPhone mode in Chrome Tool for developer show me this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9472904/141000/iphone.png Pay attention to the margins. I do good creating right margins for text area but comment area and share area are in trouble. Do you have any idea why is it so? (Default css files work ok.) I can’t find right css keywords to correct that.
.
7. Are you planning to add FB like link? As far as I understand now we have only possibility to share via FB.
hi dmitriyalexeev
Sorry for the delay
5. You are right, I think it’s not necessary to put share buttons in the category pages but, obviously, the url is shareable.
6. Nice! these elements are contained in a div with the class “article-default-width”, this class is used to define the width and padding of the article content, also for the info of the article (categories, share links, etc) and the comments. So you can define the margin of all of those elements though this unique class. This class is defined in the file style-articles.css. Btw, I don’t understand why the margins are not presented in your screen o.O. It works in my machine -> http://i.imgur.com/JiTf6Dd.png
7. Nop, sorry, I don’t like these class of buttons that need to load external javascript and stuff. I want to keep the theme fast and simple. 
Thank you very much for your support.
Hi onlinedepartment,
I think something in the configuration of your server is doing that the CSS combine feature don’t work properly.You can deactivate this feature in the theme options.
Would you mind posting the CSS to change the background color of ALL the article.cards (front page, page, article, next.article) to #76838a ? This would be a big help as I can’t figure out all of them.
Thanks!!
Sorry wheelcipher, I think that doesn’t exists a clean way to do this without edit the html code a little bit 
Anyway you can try to do it editing the elements defined in the file css/style-cards.css
Hiya, any idea why I get the big white gaps ? http://mythaistory.com/
Hiya, any idea why I get the big white gaps ? http://mythaistory.com/
Hi webcoursesbangkok,
Can you indicate me what browser and SO are you using and, with an image, where you see the white gaps exactly? I’m browsing in your site but it looks fine to me. Thanks!
Mac OS 10.9.5, Chrome and it looks bad on Safari too.
Thanks webcoursesbangkok,
Can you try to change the number of posts per page to see if the problem it solved in this way?
I will going to check if is some bug related with the number of posts published (9 in this case) but when I enter to your site it looks like this to me: http://s29.postimg.org/ath2qa6et/Captura_de_pantalla_2014_10_22_a_las_11_14_08.png
Great theme – love it. One question: Does your theme has built-in lightbox support? Because when I click the images, I am only redirected to the image file. Do you plan on adding a lightbox script? My personal favorite would be <link>http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/</link>.
Hi StuWeTueHo,
Nop. Currently, it hasn’t because I don’t want to overload the theme with js files. Maybe in the future I can add a (very simple) lightbox as optional feature but at this time I want a simple theme with a fast load page and I prefer that the user choose itself his favourite lightbox plugin. Anyway, the theme is tested with Jetpack and it works fine with the lightbox that come with Jetpack. Also, in the next update it will come ready for Aesop Story Engine plugin and works fine with her lightbox system too. 
Hi, Kohette – One more question/problem
On my front page, my blog title shows up two times.
The entry in Settings -> General shows up in the upper left corner of the front page and the one that is specified in Theme Options -> Customize Options -> Frontpage shows up where it’s supposed to … You can see it at www.grubstreetjournal.com – Any way to get rid of the first one?
Thank you for a great theme.
SOLVED: .logo #site-logo { display: none !important; }
Nice!
If you want to hide the corner logo only in the frontpage and display it in the others sections you can try this:
body.home .logo #site-logo { display: none !important; }
Hello!
This will reduce the height of the front page banner …
.article-card.pagehead.frontpage-head { min-height: 0px !important;
How can I do the same with posts and pages?
Thank you!
...and how can I change the background color of the entry-content? Thanks!
Hi wheelcipher, I’m not tested it but try with this code:
.article-card.pagehead { min-height: 0px !important; }
Thank you!
Hi there,
I have a question before purchasing:
Is it possible to have the homepage behave like a category list? (http://kohette.com/wpthemes/literatum/category/science/)
Thanks alot.
- Ale x
Hi Ale x,
Yes, you can select the style of the frontpage in the customize options. 
Hola nuevamente, Empezamos a tener muchos contenidos y el contenido de la Home no se adapta bien y van quedando espacios en blanco, he leído que otros han tenido este problema, pero la solución no me queda clara, puedes indicarme como solucionarlo? amazu.org No he recibido ningun aviso sobre la actualización del tema, esta actualizado ya? Muchas gracias Rafael
Hola mamacat,
Si, la actualización (version 1.3.4) ya está disponible. Solo tienes que volver a descargar el theme y re-instalarlo.
Para que no queden espacios te recomiendo que en la opción de posts por página introduzcas un numero que dé un numero entero al dividirlo por tres, por ejemplo 6, 9 o 12. En algunos casos es inevitable que quede algún espacio en blanco, por ejemplo cuando en la ultima página solo hay un post.
Puedo limitar en numero de articulos que aparecen en la Home? ahora aparecen todos nuestros articulos, en la opcion de post por pagina tengo introducido 12 que funciona perfecto en la paginas de las categorias, pero no en la Home, como hay que hacer para que se visualicen en el inicio, por ejemplo los 12 artciulos ultimos? Gracias descargo la nueva version
Hola otra vez, he instalado la actualización, muy bien lo que de momento he visto (customize options!), felicidades, se ha solucionado el tema de los blancos de la home, pero continuo sin saber como limitar los articulos en la home?
Ah ahora he visto el “loading more articles” de la barra de desplazamiento, serà entonces así …hasta el infinito y màs alla?
Yes, el theme está programado para que se vayan cargando todos los posts poco a poco cuando el usuario se desplaza hacia abajo (infinite scroll).
Si quieres que no se carguen puedes editar el archivo “elements-frontpage-design-grid.php” borrando todo lo que está contenido entre las etiquetas “script” pero ten en cuenta que este cambio desaparecerá con cada nueva actualización del theme.
