Hi , i have purchase the theme and will like to know whether any plugin is able to clone page/post. I am also looking at the following plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/ to see whether i am able to installed the plugin on the theme.

Hi,
Sorry no data about those plugins on our side :(

Dedicated Post Types:

There are specific types of post that can made. “quote”, “gallery”, etc. I’ve seen this in many other themes.

Is this actual a core WP feature? Meaning that if I used these they would not “break” in the event that I changed themes?

Hello,
Yes, post formats are standard in WordPress. Most modern themes supports them.

I’m very interested in purchasing this theme.

Is there a way to see how the Events Calendar PRO would look and operate with these theme since it’s listed as compatible ?

Hi,
To avoid the confusion. We tested theme with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/

Does this template have any method to categorize/manage media used in the galleries and/or portfolios. OR Does it just use the “non-categorized” default built into WP media?

In other words I would like to be able to easily manage a hierarchy of categories for my work (top level, sub levels, etc),, as I might in a normal photography account (think flickr, or photoshelter, etc).

Hello,
Armada features dedicated “Photo Albums” post type. Additionally you can assign categories to those Albums.

All images added in “Photo Albums” post type will appear in the WP media gallery (in case you need to re-use them on in other albums or posts/pages/etc.)

You can refer to theme user guide for details: http://guide.dream-theme.com/armada/user-guide/albums-and-galleries/

Is there any way to have these photo album posts (or galleries) “feed” from Flickr?

No, unfortunately.

I have purchased a couple of these newer “theme specific” type templates lately and have found them to be unusable for the following reason:

- they have so many features that “break” in the event that I change themes in the future. I find it absurd to purchase a template that requires me to “re-build” years worth of content and layouts in the event that I should wish to change templates down the road. I realize that the basic layout/design of the site has to be redone,, but actual content should remain the same through any template.

So my question is,,, can you tell me what features of your template will not hold up to a change in templates. I still might be able to use the template if I avoid using specific features that are offered.

Hello,
In this case you need to find a very basic blog theme that will not utilize the custom post types, custom meta boxes and any other stuff that makes premium theme a premium theme :)

Seriously mate, if you need something other than a blog, you HAVE to bound your content with theme OR a plugin. Telling you this as a WordPress developer with quite a bit of experience and knowing of how stuff works in this industry.

You gave me an idea though. Tomorrow I’ll be discussing with colleagues the possibility of making a portfolio-style theme using just standard features without extending the WordPress.

that would be pretty cool if you did… I’ve run into this in the past where suddenly three years down the road some plugin I’ve relied on just stops being developed… then suddenly I’m left having to waste weeks “re-building” three years of content because some plugin becomes too outdated…

Hi, awesome theme congrats! One question: How is it possible to change the branding logo ‘Pure White’ in the transparent header?

Cheers!

Hi,

sorry the logo on: http://armada.dream-demo.com/ is a differnt one as this logo: http://armada.dream-demo.com/pages/about-us/1-about-us/

I want to change the first one (the name is …pure whithe..). The only possibilty is to change the image in the database manually. The second one is easy to change as you mentioned.

Cheers!

Hi, I’ve sort it out! It is part of the page template! :bashfulcute:

Hi,
Thanks for update.

Hello. Wonderful theme. I want to purchase a portfolio of images for the site. Interested in one question as indexed images in this topic. Are there any examples? Because the demo site by Google not indexing.

Hello,
All images supports ALT and TITLE attributes. So they will be indexed on the live site.

Hello I brought your Cardamon template about 2rs back and now the theme is not to continue to support newer wordpress, which I am disappointed about. If I buy this am I able to transfer my existing theme over to Armada quite easily, or will I need to fully rebuild?

Thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately Cardamon is quite old theme build on old framework :( This means that most data will need to be transferred (or re-configured) “by hand”. Please contact me via a personal message from my profile page for details.

Kind regards,
Miroslav (from Dream-Theme)

Presales question – Just wanted to ask if the page loader screen can be removed?

Hello,
Yes, there’s an option for that.

Does this theme support infinite scrolling?

Hello,
Yes, Armada has build-in “infinite scroll” feature.

great theme. the flexibility is far and above any other theme. however, i am having issues with the color accent option which does not work. no matter which color i choose in theme options, it still defaults to the purple/violet color. any ideas? i clicked “save options” and it wont change. It will only change from solid to gradient.

Hi – when I install the theme, I keep getting this issue:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /hermes/bosnaweb09a/b1519/ipw.whatupchuk/public_html/wewanttoknow/wp/wp-content/themes/dt-armada/inc/helpers/portfolio-helpers.php on line 358

This happens when I do a preview – when I activate the theme, it kills my WP instance and I have to delete the entire folder for it to come back.

So confused – puchased a lot of themes and never had this issue..

I currently have “The 7” as my theme. I’m thrilled that you now have a theme dedicated to photograpy. So I’m thinking I would like to switch to Armada. My question, does this theme support password protected galleries, where clients will be able to click like or leave comments for reviewing or even purchasing?

Hi,
First of all, please do not be hasty with switching. many of Armada features will be presented in The7 in 2-3 weeks.

Second, to your questions.

> does this theme support password protected galleries

Yes.

> where clients will be able to click like or leave comments for reviewing

Theme features dedicated albums pages; you can enable comments there as well. However please note that comments for individual photos are not available at this moment.

> even purchasing

Armada has a great support for WooCommerce and especially selling digital goods. You can hook up photos from gallery to corresponding goods in WooCommerce (though it’s quite a bit of additional work).

Is it possible to have video and youtube videos as background?

Thanks Bjørn

Hello,
At this moment only self-hosted video backgrounds are supported.

To install a masonry gallery into a post add | title=”your_album_name_here” using visual composer. Here is how I used it. [vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][dt_photos_masonry type="masonry" padding="20" column_width="370" columns="3" loading_effect="helix" number="12" orderby="date" order="desc" title="Marquez Roll"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Hope this helps anyone trying to use masonry galleries inside a post.

Hello,
Sorry I’m not sure I understood you.. What’s the problem displaying a Photo Album in masonry view inside a blog post (or page, or wherever you like)? Thanks!

I can only insert an album if it has a category attached to it. After only few months of posts I will have about 20 categories or sub categories. By the end of the year, way to many. When I think of selecting a category I think of referencing a group of albums… but since I would have to associate a category to each album and name it the same as the album title itself. The “USE” of the category function be comes useless and irritating. THAT is my disappointment. I would be ok with a title selection integration. As I thought I had fixed in the post above. Now think of people who do photography on the fly as now the sony cameras have NFC so you can post from your phone.. When I post its going to from my phone, which mean using the default gallery, that does not do masonry or grid. If you make that a reality you will have to most popular word-press design out there for photographers and artists everywhere. I would also recommend reclassifying this theme to creative instead of photography to avoid other disappointing customers or questions like this that you will be getting. I know it takes time and talent to design a theme, and to that I say well done. But it falls short for a active photographer.

Ah, understood. Thank you for feedback! I’ll discuss with colleges enhancing standard WordPress galleries with additional features and layouts.

Amazing theme! Would you please tell me how to setup the progressbars? A can add them as shortcode, but cant find a way to make them animated or with text inside… Cant find a list with possible settings.

2nd thing: What would be a good resolution for images in the fullsize backgroundslider? Greets, Dennis

Thanks! I’ll do!

HI, I’m trying to install “Minify” plugin for CSS, HTML and JS for better site speed. Especially for Google Page speed score. But none of standard plugins are not compatible, e.g. W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Better WordPress Minify. Any solution how solve this problem? Do you have any compatible plugin that is working properly?

Thank you. Martin

Hello Martin,
Please refer to this article regarding W3TC setup in our KB: http://support.dream-theme.com/knowledgebase/w3c-settings/

The only thing you need to notice is that it is impossible to get really great Google Page Speed scores if you are running a WordPress site and use plugins. Google hates all those excess JavaScript and styles even if you merge and minify them :(

Perfect. THX for that link. Now it’s working with now issues :)

You are very welcome :)
