Hi! I have purchased your theme – which is great. But can’t seem to find any general documentation about setting it up in the download ZIP file. Does it come with any basic info? Eg. how to set the home page once the template is installed, and use the different predesigned styles (ie. the Charity one).

Thanks for contacting and your feedback!

Please make sure you are downloading the whole archive, not the theme only. You will see a DOCS folder inside the archive, Open index.html file in your browser to read the theme documentation, you can navigate using menu.

Thank you, hope this will be helpful!

I am very disappointed that I bought this theme. It has a lot of bugs and the customer support told me they don’t know how to fix it. Now I am forced to buy a new theme and start over. I’ve many hours building my site- affordableazdivorce.com and I have to start over. Of course, the bugs can be fixed. But I can’t afford a programmer to figure out the bugs. If you Google “cheap AZ divorce” (until I make a new website anyway), you will see the date is being displayed in the SERPS. This is something that CAN be fixed, but one of three issues that have wasted my time.

Hi again. As to the issue you had with tables – the support team has solved it and replied to you in your ticket last week. Please check your email. As to dates – in fact we cannot see anything like that in the search result for the link you provided. In any case, please make sure you have a static page as a home page, is you do not want the date of the last post to be shown, also please keep in mind that google index is updated once in a while, so some effect of your changes and seo will not be seen at once.

Thank you!

Would really like to see a support forum. It doesn’t appear to exist anymore. I’ve been experiencing several of the issues listed here yet get no help without submitting a ticket for which I don’t get a response for several days so end up abandoning and using other templates. If there was solutions for other users issues it would be nice to see. Its a nicely designed template so would love to eventually be able to use it.

I’ve had issue where the logo doesn’t appear in Chrome but seems to work in Safari.

The template seemed very slow on Godaddy and iPage so ended up using another template. I’ve now switched to Siteground and it seems to perform better.

Thanks for contacting!

As to the forum – it is now closed, and there is a reason for that, as there was very little traffic and in fact very little help a user could get there. Getting help via ticket will be much more effective, just please keep n mind that requests can be reviewed within 1-3 working days (Monday – Friday). If your request takes longer to be reviewed, please let us now. You can as well share your issues here, just like you did now. Please also specify your ticket number, so that we could check its status and help you with logo.

As to site speed – the theme performs quite well as for a theme with this much functionality (checked some popular themes to compare). You can improve your website performance by optimizing images, enabling caching on your server. Also there is another thing you can do from your side – is minifying script and style files as soon as you are sure you have applied the needed changes to them, if you did any. We also usually recommend deactivating plugins that are not in use, like one of the sliders, if you are using only one of them.

Thank you!

Hi there, great theme How do I disable the portfolio items from opening to a full page? Thanks

Sorry, I meant the profile items? If I want just the small bio of a staff member but don’t want it to link to a full page?

Thanks for clarification. In fact the are initially meant to link to profile pages, and there is no option to disable this, Yet you can use another shortcode to show your staff in a simpler way, for instance a person block shortcode or any other.

Thank you!

ok thanks

Hi,
I was in touch with your support staff these days. Pretty much disappointed now.

The problem is when i am trying to edit pages its showing internal error. And the webpage hangs. And i contacted the hosting support. The support person said the problem was with the htaccess file. The theme is not able to write to .htaccess file and the theme is not configured to function with the hosting server. The shared hosting is not configured to host the site, the site is configured to work on the shared hosting, this is an issue with the Theme.

When i contacted your support staff, the reply i got was the hosting server has to be altered according to the theme requirements. I don’t think this is correct. Generally the theme has to be configured to work with the server.

Please look into this matter. As its almost one month since i purchased this theme and have been facing issues like slow loading and and these kind of htaccess file errors. I must say pretty much disappointing. And the whole $58 is going into waste.

Now if this is not solved the only thing i can do is to at least advice the future buyers of theme not to purchase this theme especially if they are hosting with Godaddy. And i should buy another theme from some authors who gives proper support to at least basic functionality of the theme and not blame the hosting service for the errors.

I tried installing the theme on a new server. Even with a sample default posts page (even without any demo content uploaded) it loads really slow like i mentioned in the other comment i posted here

Any solution to the slow loading? Do let me know. Else i will have to purchase a different theme from another author.

Hi again. The most effective way to improve speed performance will be by decreasing the amount of plugins as much as possible, and using a setting some of the plugins have that allows enabling scripts the bottom of the page rather than in header. Also we are planning to release an update where one of the plugins the theme uses (iLightbox) will be eliminated, with a script built into the theme instead. But this is still on the go, and will come as soon as it is ready.

Also, the theme cannot have smaller files, as its functionality is huge, but each user, when finished editing the theme and setting up the website in general, can minify the script files and css file, and upload them instead of the original files on the server.

Also a great deal can be changed by enabling caching for some files types on your server (like image files etc). You may consult your hosting provider about this or do it yourself if you have access to this. This will significantly improve performance for the returning users of your website.

Basically there is really nothing else that can be done with a theme of this functionality, it will be like this or be much simpler and have less options. Appreciate your understanding.

Thank you!

I tried deactivating the plugin woocommerce, and the sliders. But did not succeed. It still loads slowly.

is it possible to have a full width blog post just like in pages?

Thanks for contacting!

Sure, just on each post scroll to the Options panel and in the Layout tab set the fullwidth setting, see the screenshot – view image.

Thank you!

yes I see that, but is it possible to stretch the content width to that of the screen with zero padding instead of boxed?

Hi again In fact there is no such option for an open blog post. Appreciate your understanding.

Thank you!

I have an issue with the logo. I am on version 1.1.3 and yet the logo doesnt appear but the default good day logo works quite well. It worked in the initial stage but now it doesn’t. Only the good day default works.

Also, you cms website is not allowing me to post a ticket cause the url is invalid. I am working on a dev site asterion.vizen.in but it seems to reject that as well.

Also, on the main menu, the first drop down seems to have this ^ inverted symbol on top, not sure how that happened. Please help me also remove that.

What should I do, this is a critical thing right now as I am on a client project due submission.

Thanks for contacting!

As to your question – we really need to you to submit us a ticket about this, just add a sample address with http://example.com in the address field, then you can add your actual address in message body. Submit a ticket.

Thank you!

Hi,

I try to use Google Analytic but it’s don’t work.

I copy paste the script give by Google in Theme General Settings > Custom Codes > Google Analytics.

I don’t understand :/

Thank

Thanks for contacting!

Please make sure you are copying the whole code including the script tags, should be fine if you do, as it works quite well for all other customers and on our own installations too. Just please keep in mind that Google Analytics takes 24 hours to gather data after you create an application, so you will need to wait to see the first reports. In any case, should there still be a problem, please feel free to submit us a support ticket so that we could take a look at it from your end – submit a ticket.

Thank you!

Thanks for answer !

I need just wait 24 hours. Now, everything work !

Hello, This question is for the buyers of this theme.

Has anyone else experienced the really really slow loading of this theme after installing it in the hosting? I have used the portfolio demo content and its running dead slow. I have only used couple of images in the home page. That too with less than 100 kb in size. I can open 10 different sites with graphics and images with the time good day takes open my homepage. Its been like that from the day i installed the demo content itself without making any of my own changes.

I got my hosting from godaddy. They are pretty famous and trustable. So i don’t think it will be the problem from their end.

I would like to see other buyers experience on the same

Thanks.

Hi again. Yes, we do see pretty much the same, but this seems to be a rather usual time for themes of this functionality and with this much content on the demo site. Please note that this is a one-page site, and its home page is quite long and contains lots of content, including videos, a map and parallax image backgrounds. These elements usually affect page loading significantly.

An average page without one-page layout and with some standard content of texts, various shortcode blocks and some optimized images will load much faster.

We used high resolution images, and videos are quite heavy too, and a map usually does slow down the page. Please try optimizing your images, this can serve quite well in terms of website speed.

Thank you!

Even with just two pictures on my homepage (less than 100 kb each) the homepage is loading slowly.

I tried installing the theme on a new server. Even with a sample default posts page (even without any demo content uploaded) it loads really slow.

Any solution to the slow loading? Do let me know. Else i will have to purchase a different theme from another author.

Hi, How do i change the background color of the widget that comes on the bottom of the page? I need the color to be darker one just like footer.

Another general question. What is the best folder/file permission that i have to set on each folders after i do changes on wp? Basically i dont want anyone to hack into my server and alter things. I have not enabled any user comments or anything on the site. Its only me who manages things.

Thanks in advance

I want to give letter spacing of 4 pixels (letter-spacing: 4px;) on one of the headings “H6” How do i do it?

Hi again. When adding a specific heading, you can assign a class to this exact shortcode if you scroll to the very bottom of ts editing window. Add your class, and also add a custom css shortcode to this column. In your custom css add all the needed styles. Please let me know if this is helpful.

Than you!

Awesome… That worked.

Hi, I’ve wrote you several times on the support service but anyone answered me. Please, there are error in the instalation and I need your help. What can I do? Is there other contact way? Thanks

Thank you for contacting!

Please note that our support works only o working days, and it may take up to 2 business days for requests to be answered. Yet, if you specify the ticket number, we will be able to check its status.

Thank you!

Hy i need to know what psd file include. please let me know.

Thanks for your interest!

Goodday theme comes with a .psd file that includes shortcodes and various elements for the default goodday theme, you can see it in the default demo.

Thank you!

Hi,

I just purchased the theme today and managed install it on my server with the demo content and working fine. Is the file i downloaded already with the latest update? Or do i need to manually update it on server with files from the update folder in the purchased file? If needs to be updated how do i do it?

Thanks.

Thanks… Awesome theme. Insanely easy to customize and install even for a newbie like me.

Thanks for your feedback :) We really appreciate it. Could you please rate the theme?

Thank you!

Done. 5 Stars.

Really like the system used on the ’’Custom GoodDay Themes’’ section. I know it’s included in your thema by html/ccs. Is there any way of you selling it separately?

Thanks for contacting!

Yet, you can only purchase the theme itself, none of its components are sold separately.

Thank you!

Hi, im very interested in your theme. just a PRESALE Question>

Will you include all the custom themes ? *wedding, medical, portfolio, etc.

In case is affirmative, will it include the pictures and design shown in the DEMO?

Im specially interested on this as Im in a rush for a client development. Thanks

Thanks for being interested in GoodDay theme!

The theme archive includes a Demo Content folder that has import files for all the 9 demo sites, you can decide which one to upload. Yet, all the images in the demo files are substituted with placeholders, as our license does not allow us redistribute them.

Thanks, should there be any other questions, please feel free to ask!

Hi

I love the theme especially the Portfolio One Page version. Is there a way i can make this portfolio version into multi page instead of the one page design? Thats the only thing i don’t like. Otherwise its its design and style is fit and perfect for me.

Thanks.

Thanks for your interest!

Yes, you will only need to add other pages n your admin panel and change the links in main menu, so that all your content from home page is simply content with no links, and other pages can be accessed through the menu.

Thank you!

6 days since I submitted a support ticket. Can someone please deal with it. Thank you.

Hi. Alex came back to me on 30 September and I replied on that date but I’ve heard nothing since. I’ve also submitted two further responses to you under the same ticket as well. Could someone please deal with it today as it’s 10 days since my original ticket was submitted. Thank you.

I just noticed on my website that something has been changed so think you guys are working on things now. Thank you.

Thanks for contacting!

Yes, the support team is currently working on your request and will respond to you shortly.

Thank you!

Hi Cmsmasters, and congrats for this great theme. How can i proceed to translate it? (not the content but the theme itself). Thanks in advance.

Thanks for contacting and your feedback!

As to translating – please see the appropriate section in theme documentation (Docs folder in the archive you have downloaded). You need to create a translation file and then choose it (in the latest wordpress version) in your admin settings. There is a general file for front-end and back-end.

Thank you!

Is there any solution of turning the header (with menu and logo) transparent, with no color,

Thanks!

Hi again.

In fact not quite sure about what you men. Do you you mean you want to remove menu and logo completely on some pages? This would negatively affect website navigation. Please try explaining in more details. Appreciate your patience.

Thank you!

Hi, prepurchase question.

The themes support is perfect, but i have one more question: any posible to set up the header transparent? I can chose the background color, but can i put it transparent for a page?

Thanks¡

Thanks for contacting and for your feedback!

As to your question – not sure about exactly what you mean, but if you mean page heading, there is an option of setting color transparency for them, either globally for the whole website or for each page individually.

Thank you!

Yeah i know, i mean in the main header, with logo and menu. Is there any solution of turning it transparent, with no color, with the content of the page background.

Thanks so much
