Hi there, The 3 custom post types that are supposed to be included with the theme are not showing up in my installation. Any ideas? I did follow the import instructions, but got some errors. Could that be part of it?

Thanks, SaraJoy

Hey SaraJoy, thanks for your purchase!

Have you installed the required plugins first / FlatBook Custom Posts / as mentioned in the documentation’s getting started part? If you are certain about every step went fine – and the custom post types still don’t show up – please drop me a link to the backend of your admin area (with login credentials) and i will check what’s wrong there :) Cheers, Erik

Hi,

> concerning Video Player at http://lean-content-marketing.com/

Message “Use Left/Right Arrow keys to advance one second, Up/Down arrows to advance ten seconds” appeares “in” the player when MouseOver. And: text “Video Player” appeares above the Player.

Both might have come with the latest WP-Update.

Pl.help. Best regards, Sascha

Hey Sascha, yeah i see.. Strange, i haven’t noticed it in my theme demo yet. Anyway, add this to the bottom of your style.css file, it shouldl fix it:

.mejs-offscreen { display: none !important; }

Let me know how it worked out! Cheers, Erik

Great, Thanks!

Your welc ;) Cheers, Erik

Erik,

Got a quick question…

Every time I insert links into a page, it takes me to a sub page. For example, if my page was example.com/links and I wanted to insert a link to www.newpage.com, the link will take me to www.example.com/links/newpage.com rather than to newpage.com.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hello! I assume you are using the menu in the wrong way..

According to your example, if you need to add an external link (pointing to another website), you need to choose “Link” type menu item from the left sidebar (instead of adding a “Page” type menu item) so you will be able to specify the full url path to the external site.

Please check out the menus part of the theme documentation: http://docs.eriktailor.com/flatbook/#menus

Cheers, Erik

Erik thank you for the quick response!

I’m not creating a menu. I am trying to insert a link into a page I’m creating. Here is an example. I want the link to take me to nba.com.

(link removed by MOD)

Ohh i see, sorry for the coincidance. It seems the html markup of your “nba” link lacks the http:// protocoll… Basically, all you need to do is to add the “http://” phrase before the “www.nba.com” and it will work properly. Cheers, Erik

Love the theme! I’m just having a few problems with some of the pages. Especially the template sections. It seems that they only work as pieces on the homepage and not as standalone pages. For example…

1) I’d like to have the intro to my bio under About Us on the bottom of the homepage (link removed by MOD) and then have the more link click through to the full bio. But when you click it, you just get a blank page: (link removed by MOD)

2) I’d like to have the three testimonials on the homepage as I currently do and then have a separate testimonials page using the same template and/or look and show another 25. I don’t want all 25 on the homepage and I don’t just want 3 on the main testimonials page.

3) When I add the Mailchimp code to a standard page to be used as a download, it shows up looking really bad because of the CSS:

http://test.iwanttobeadick.com/download-a-sample/ Thanks for your help and again, great job! Can’t wait to launch the new site promoting the book!

Hello and thanks for your purchase!

1.) Have you tried to use a basic html “read more” link? The markup is pretty easy, just do it like this:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/page"> Read More </a>

2.) Unfortunately this isn’t beyond the original functionality of the theme, please contact me in email if you need a quote from me on the requested customization.

3.) Again, the way you are using the mailchimp form is not how it was designed originally – by default – it should be placed in the expandable footer contact bar.

Anyway, if you add this snippet to the very bottom of your styles.css file, it will definately look better ;) So add this:

#mc_embed_signup { margin: 0 auto; }
#mc_embed_signup input.email {
  margin: 0 auto !important;
  width: 94% !important;
  border: 1px solid #8c8c8c !important
}
#mc_embed_signup .clear {
  display: block;
  visibility: visible;
  height: auto;
  width: auto;
  text-align: center;
}

Let me know how it worked out! Happy editing! Erik

Hi

1. I noticed that bullet points and ordered lists/numbers don’t seem to work

2. Can you provide some instructions making the menu function like the demo (i.e. when selecting the item, it goes to the section). on my site www.ecommerceguidebook.com the about link does’t appear to work

3. Is it possible to raise the text and image in the slider?

thank you in advance

Hello and thanks for your purchase!

1.) Please tell me more details about how you tried to use the mentioned list types.

2.) I assume you are having a javascript error on your site – however, i wasn’t able to check it – as the provided link doesn’t seem to work for me (service unavailable).

3.) I need more details.. Do you wish to raise the font size, the slider height etc., please describe.

Happy new year! Cheers, Erik

Hi

1. I used the standard bullet points in wordpress

2. Site is up now www.ecommerceguidebook.com

3. I would like the image (of the book) and text translated so that it’s a bit closer to the nav

1.) I saw that you have nicely implemented the check bullets in your slider – so if this issue hasn’t been solved yet – i suggest to try this in your wordpress editor – “text view” of course, the “visual” one is for dummies :Dhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/html_lists.asp

2.) Thanks for the update, i checked your site and the reason your menu doesn’t work is that simply you have given wrong menu links to your menu items.. Please check the docs for more: http://docs.eriktailor.com/flatbook/#menus

3.) I see.. add this to the bottom of your style.css file:
#slider { height: 636px !important; }
.slide h1 { margin-top: 150px !important; }

Happy editing! Cheers, Erik

Hi There,

I have quite a few questions. All samples are according to demo.

1) In the slideshow, how can I add more buttons besides “get it now” & “learn more”

2) Is there to change the overall font to a bigger font?

3) Is there a way to add social media buttons on top?

4) Where can I edit the subtitle for Overviews?

5) In Menu Structure Menu links do not work for “Page”. The “custom” ones work. Any ideas?

6) Where can I find short code for everything? Columns, buttons, etc

Thank you Appreciate your help

Great! Thanks for your instructions. Got it all.

Also, in Over views, how can I delete or edit the “Load More/Show less” button?

Social Media buttons, is there anyway to add Instagram? We only use Facebook & Instagram. Exactly the way it looks, is it possible to locate at the top? In the slider as a button, or on the menu as a button, or if I’m only using 2 counters, right next to the counters as a button.

Thanks

To disable the “Load More..” button, add this to the bottom of your styles.css file:
.loadmore { display: none; }

To add an Instagram social media button, follow these steps: 1.) open up footer.php file from your theme files 2.) Insert the following code snippet to line 32, just before the closing </ul> tag:

<li><a href="http://www.instagram.com/user"> <i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a></li>

3.) Finally change the sample link to the url of your Instagram user profile

Your final request requires additional development in the source template files, so it is considered as a customization of the theme. Feel free to contact me via email if you surely need it – and i will give you a quote for it.

Cheers, Erik

Hello sir, Thank you for a great theme! We modified it a bit to sell a DVD and I think it will work well. The site is www.localsearchcash.com I have a couple quick questions: Next to the ipad mockup, How do I change the part that says “choose a chapter”? On the video testimonials I get written video player controls over the top of the video. How do I remove this?

I appreciate your help!

Hello and thx for your purchase, glad you like it!

1.) The most easy way is to open up template-samples.php file and edit the “Choose a chapter” text manually.

2.) Hmm, looks strange.. however, if you open up your styles.css file and add the following snippet to the very bottom of the document, it will disable it:

.mejs-offscreen { display: none !important; }

Happy new year! Cheers, Erik

Nice theme. I just had a few questions.

1. Does it support shortcodes?

I installed ‘ultimate shortcodes’ and it doesn’t appear to work

2. I installed Easy digital downloads [link removed] The shortcodes works but only on pages. If I try to enter the shortcode in the slider, it doesn’t work. Same for any other sections. This is very important for people who want to sell ebooks.

thanks for your support

My temp site is [link removed]

Hello and thanks for your purchase. Just replied to your email. Cheers, Erik

Hello

I get this error:

Warning: mysql_query(): Access denied for user ’’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in

Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in

Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in

What can I do?

Thanks.

Hello and thanks for your purchase! Strange, honestly i have never noticed an issue like this.. Can you tell me when you recieved this error message? I mean what were you doing that time? Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik,

I’m sure I’m missing something, but I can’t figure out how to remove the pre-populated text (I imported the demo) right below the chapter overviews and special offers section.

For example under Special Offers it says: Choose from FlatBook’s predefined 2-3-4 columned pricing tables, set to highlight one of them or not and edit the contents and features easily in the Theme Options panel.

Any guidance?

Thanks!

Nevermind figured this out!

Hey there, thx for your purchase. Great to hear that you have already managed to solve it :) Happy editing! Cheers, Erik

Where can I edit the section with the purchase button, black background

Get your copy now! Suspendisse vitae bibendum mauris. Nunc iaculis nisl vitae laoreet elementum donec dignissim metus sit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Thanks

Hello and thanks for your purchase. You can edit it under the Call to Action tab in the theme options panel – or if you are using an older version of flatbook – go to Pages > Call to Action. Cheers, Erik

Hello Erik,

I bought this template almost one week ago and not heard from you.

Could you please prove me with the DEMO 2 files. I would like to get this project done in time.

Thank you.

Hello and thanks for your purchase. Sorry for the delay, i just sent it to you. Cheers, Erik

Eric, can you please resend the files in zip format. Somehow there was an issue and I cannot open them.

It’s not neccessary to post the same comment more times, i always reply as soon as possible, it won’t speed up the support process. Thanks, Erik

Hi Erik,

we use Your Theme for book promotion in Germany: http://www.lean-content-marketing.com/

My Question concerning list-css for Blog-Posts: We’d like to have

  • bullets with left margin > 0 and consistent left margin > 0 for the text (first line same as the second). How can we fix that in ‘layout.css’?

    Thank you! Sascha

  • Hello Sascha and thanks for your purchase! Amm, i’m afraid i don’t understand your request, please tell me more details on which section and element are you reflecting at? Cheers, Erik

    Hi Erik, let me put it this way: here you see the current list-style: http://lean-content-marketing.com/content-marketing-statistiken/ What we need is: margin-left: > 0 and list-style-position: outside Best regards, Sascha
    I see, thanks for the clarification! Add this to the very bottom of your main stylesheet, layout.css:
    .post ul li:before { display: none }
    .post ul li {
      left: 10px;
      position: relative;
      list-style-type: initial;
      list-style-position: outside;
    }
    

    Happy editing! Erik

    I just bought this theme and the files for Demo 2. I messaged you but no response.

    Yeah just replied to your email and previous comment. Cheers, Erik

    Eric, can you please resend the files in zip format. Somehow there was an issue and I cannot open them.

    Why not? I sent you the 2 import files: xml for the contents and a txt file for the theme options. Please read the included documentation about importing the demo content for flatbook. Cheers, Erik

    Hi thx for this theme. How do I change the height of the slider? A

    Hello and thanks for your purchase. You can increase it manually via Css, for example:
    #slider { height: 800px; }
    

    You may will need the adjust your slide model images in a few cases, it depends. Cheers, Erik

    Hey Hi, I’d like to take out the “transferring date from test.eriktailor” when the site loads… can you tell me how?

    Hello and thanks for your purchase. Sure, just replied for your email. Cheers, Erik

    Hi, first of all AWESOME theme! nothing like it…

    I’m having trouble displaying the site on mobile! It’s just not loading, and it is loading on desktop. Please help!

    socialprocessmodel.com

    Just replied to your email. Cheers, Erik

    Hi Erik,

    I have 2 last questions: 1. How to center the pricing table (I only have one) 2. The contact form is not working, I´ve set it up to : Select Contact Method Basic Contact Form But I don´t know to which mails its being send.

    Thank you very much, my site is [link removed]

    Hey there,

    1.) Already replied, please check below

    2.)I just tested it on your site, and for me it seems working… However if you still haven’t recieved any emails sent from your site, i’m pretty sure that you haven’t set your reciever email address in the Contact Form 7 options.

    Cheers, Erik

    Hello, We are having trouble with our site thecareerpuzzle.com. When logged in the site displays normally as it should but once logged out it seems that the site loses format. We figured it may be a privacy settings issue but have checked everything and cannot find the solution. Thanks, Donald

    Ok, i just checked it and for me it throws a js error, this one:
    ReferenceError: UserWebStat_gC is not defined
    var choix = UserWebStat_gC("whatChoiceForGoogleCookies") ;
    

    I can send you a screenshot if you wish, but just hit “F12” on your keyboard, go to the “Console” tab and reload your page and you will see… Cheers, Erik

    Erik, Thank you! We deleted some plugins and now it works again.

    Great to hear that and thanks for the feedback :) Merry xmas! Cheers, Erik

    Hi Erik,

    I’m having a problem with the WP admin bar – it isn’t showing on the front-end when logged into admin. When I disable the theme and enable TwentyFourteen the admin bar comes back, so it does appear to be the Flatbook theme doing something funny.

    Thanks!

    Hey there, nothing to worry about, it was disabled by me because it looks lame over the navbar :)

    To enable it, open up your functions.php file and delete or comment our this:
    add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');

    Cheers, Erik

    Thanks Erik! I see what you mean, but as long as it’s only for logged-in users then it doesn’t matter to us that it looks a bit average :)

    Great than, your welcome ;) Erik
