I’m having a few issues with the newsletter widget and events page, but I still haven’t received my conformation email on your support site.

Is there a way to put a blog post grid on the homepage?

Yeah, you can add a blog post grid to the homepage. You have full control over the homepage and can even drag/drop to reorder most of the elements. Any of the elements can be shown or hidden easily.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi all -

Demo looks great but I have a couple questions -

1) Does this theme feature a drag & drop page builder?

2) For the beers page, is that a specific tab in CMS? My client is going to updating the beer list every week so I need to be as easy a possible. I was hoping that the beer list would be its own tab in wordpress rather than a regular page that needs to be edited.

Thanks! Mike

1) Yes & no. The homepage is built using widgets so you can drag/drop in order to build it using widgets. The other pages are either built based on custom templates OR via the default page builder in WordPress. If you wanted a page builder like Visual Composer, you would need to purchase this from CodeCanyon. Any of the popular page builders will work with our theme.

2) Yeah, it’s a custom post type called Beers. Very easy to manage :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions.

ok cool thanks. I’ll give it a go.

Hi All,

Is a wpml theme ready?

Regards

Yeah, you can use WPML with our Growler theme. We have translated the theme per WordPress Translation standards.

I just purchased this theme and I like it, I haven’t really had to much time to mess with it but I think it will work for my needs. I do have a question, can you suggest a iOS and Android WP plugin to convert this to a native/hybrid app as well. Responsive is good but I would like to have this as an app featured in he apple store and google play besides it would be less work to do all updates and sync through wordpress vs us developing a separate app and having to manager it separately. In other words I want this as an app too, can this be done?

Thank you and I love the theme so far,

-Keith

Unfortunetly I don’t have any personal recommendations for converting it to an App in the App store. I would check wordpress.org and some google searches as I’m confident there are some services that should be able to do this automatically or with little additional work.

Thank you for the quick reply… I will look further into it.

Thanks again,

-Keith

love the theme, but I cant get the “beer portfolio” to work like it is on your test site.

I have several listed with categories.

Any ideas?

Yeah, we can help you out in our support forums. Make sure to include a link to your website when you post in the forums: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Haven’t gotten any emails yet. None of my beer pages are working and it’s kinda important to the site. :) I have my beers listed in the beer section, categories set up and i get 404 errors when I’m trying to preview. Also nothing shows up on any pages with the filter

If you are not getting the confirmation e-mail, just let us know your username in the forums and we can manually approve your account.

If you are getting 404 errors on the posts, this just means you need to update your Permalinks. Just go under Settings > Permalinks and click save, this will sort out any 404 errors.

I just downloaded the theme, uploaded the zip file, but when wordpress wants to install it, it gives an error: The thems is missing the style.css stylesheet And then the theme installation just simply failed. How can this be fixed?

I got it! In the zip file there was another zip file wich was the one I had to upload and install.

Glad you got it sorted out. If you have any other questions, we can help you out on our support forums: http://support.progressionstudios.com

please, help! I want to post at the support forum but i haven’t receive the confirmation mail. my user name is raedelcerro. thanks!

Okay, we have manually approved your account. You can now post in our support forums :-) http://support.progressionstudios.com

thanks alot :)

I love this theme! Very well done and easy to use. I have just one small glitch – I want to put a link in the homepage feature boxes. For some reason, the link appears on its own line.

I tried to post the problem on the support forum, however, I never receive an email so I can confirm my email. I do have the correct address entered in my account. Thanks for your help.

Approved :-). You can now post your question in the forums. Make sure to include a link to your homepage that way we can see what is going on.

Does this theme support video’s where the slider goes?

Yeah, you can add-in videos in the slider area.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Love the theme! Do you have any suggestions for adding a photo gallery?

Yeah, we can help you out with this in our support forums. Feel free to post in our forums for help with this:
http://support.progressionstudios.com

register_taxonomy(‘beer_type’, ‘beers’, array(‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘label’ => ‘Beer Categories’, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘menu-type’)));

doesn’t work here…

I’d like the same thing as @mtpreklam // change “beer_type” to something else. Entered your code and the “main-overwiew-page” is still named “beer_type” if I click on a beer-category it changes the name, but it shows a 404 error message… thanks for the support

Answered here: http://support.progressionstudios.com/discussion/9448/permalinks-for-beer-pages..-and-events..#Item_9

If you have any questions while updating that, feel free to post in the forums.

ok thanks. but there’s another problem occurring… check the page: http://kraftwerkkaffee.ch/angebote/ it works – but now the menu-sub-nav is gone and the page title says “beers”... I don’t know, but in a future update I’d let the user change that “beer-thing” to whatever is needed – I think you’d sell much more “growlers” that way – other than that, that theme is brilliant!

Note: You can change any text by using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/codestyling-localization/

Hey I really like this theme, but is there a way to customize the header by putting the logo in the middle of the page and men tab along each side?

Our Renovation theme has a menu like this: http://themeforest.net/item/renovation-construction-company-theme/9014411 By default this is not supported in the Growler theme. If you were interested in getting this customization added to the Growler theme, send us an e-mail and we can discuss this customization:

mtpreklam: You projected this theme for “Beer” but didnt think about any other options.. I want to change this for a cafe and i need to change the /beer_type/ to /menu/ or /menu_type/ maybe.. How do i change this?

And i have another question, when i changed the permalink names from event options.. System was down, i got white pages on front and admin page.. I solved it when i deleted the plugin from FTP. But when i installed again, i got the white pages more.. Because of that i had to install all system again..

ProgressionSupport: Hi there,

You can edit your functions.php file:

Find this line: register_taxonomy(‘beer_type’, ‘beers’, array(‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘label’ => ‘Beer Categories’, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => true));

And replace to:

register_taxonomy(‘beer_type’, ‘beers’, array(‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘label’ => ‘Beer Categories’, ‘query_var’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => array(‘slug’ => ‘menu-type’)));

mtpreklam: Did i download wrong theme? There is no register_taxonomy at functions.php.. I found it in progression-beers.php..

I made the replacement at progression-beers.php, but the menu item lost..

And you didnt answer the second question at first comment.. Its same, when i change Events>Settings>Permalinks.. I got white pages at admin and frontpage..

Also when i delete the demo content pages like “Full Width Example, Pricing Tables…” i am getting same error “White Pages”..

mtpreklam: Event maker plugin has serious problems.. http://i.hizliresim.com/PEXWnd.jpg When i change the permalinks for event make i am getting this error..

ProgressionSupport: Yeah you’re correct, it’s located in the progression-beers.php and not in the functions.php file.

Sounds like you changed too many core files. Try to revert back to the original files and check if the problems are still there.

mtpreklam: What do you mean?.. Do you want to help about this errors?..

Go on from here.. May be someone need these..

What exactly are you having trouble with? It looks like my support staff is doing a great job answering your question so far in the forums. The only issue I see is that the first question was referencing the wrong file-name. That has been sorted out and everything else looks great. If you have any questions, please post in the forums as you have been doing.

I just bought this theme and I’m having trouble finding where to edit the copy that is on each individual event page. For instance, my events page looks like this (http://imgur.com/EXzugpp) and doesn’t have any place to add text except for the excerpt. I know the text exists because I’ve installed the sample data and seen it listed under the sample events, just can’t find where to edit

Yeah, you should have a section just like an ordinary post in which you can edit the post. Try disabling any third party plugins that aren’t recommended with the theme. My guess is one of them is just causing issues with the events. If that doesn’t help, feel free to e-mail me via my profile page contact form and I will assist:
http://themeforest.net/user/ProgressionStudios#from

I don’t have any other plugins except what the theme requires. I have emailed you.

Replied already :-)

Thinking of purchasing your theme. I see above that you say the homepage is completely editable. So in the sample page, it shows a brown background behind the main menu. Can that be changed to be a photo background, like a photo of wood, instead of a plain colored background?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! Just so I’m clear, is putting a photo in the background something that can be easily done in the template, or do I need to do some coding to put it in there? Thanks again!

That is something you can do with one line of CSS. If you needed help, we would be more than happy to supply this for you in our support forums. It would be this exact line of CSS:
header {background-image:url(yourimagehere);}

Awesome, thanks!

I am thinking of purchasing this theme. What kind of page builder is there if any? For the home page are you limited as to what you can place or is it wide open as to what type of sections you can have?

Thanks

1) We don’t have a page-builder built-in. However, you can easily add any page builder to the theme. All of the popular free and premium page builders will work with our themes.

2) You have full control over the homepage. You can add/remove content areas, adjust the backgrounds and change the order. The content on the homepage is controlled via a number of possibilities from short codes to custom widgets.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, is there any way to use a filter in events? Eg, beers page filter.

Thanks!

We don’t have a filter built-in but you could easily add one. Categories are already supported so you would just need to query a list. This would be the code to do that: http://pastie.org/9719671

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there, i’ve bought this theme some days ago .. where can I find mywebsite.wordpress.2013-12-27.xml to import dummy data?

You can find this under /Additional-files/Live Preview Files/. Check out the video documentation if you still have trouble finding it. Note: You can download the files again at anytime if you accidentally deleted it.

ok thx guys. could you just update documentation !? :) have a nice day

Not sure what you mean by update the documentation. We have written and video documentation that walks you through setting up the theme including demo content. If you have any questions, jump onto our support forums: http://support.progressionstudios.com/

Hi I’m considering buying this theme it looks great I’d really like to know a little more about how the events calendar works before I buy as this is the key thing I need to get right. Have you any detailed documentation about the settings etc or just an overview of how it can be used? Can it be set up so that ongoing events are scheduled without having to manually put into the calendar? E.g we have events every Monday Tuesday and Thursday that are the same and would need to be advertised on the home page in the events section plus random events that are one off but need to be advertised too. Also once an event has passed is it automatically removed or does it need it be manually managed? Many thanks for your time and help!

Thanks thats really helpful! Does the theme come with a child theme too?

Oh, and can all users set events too? Or is just the administrator that has access to that? It would be super helpful if they could.

1) For easy child theme installation, check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

2) You can control who sets events. See “Capabilities” tab of the settings panel under Events. You can allow other user type to do various or all tasks.
