Hi Dannci,

Thanks for your help in the comment above.

I also wanted to ask about alignment issues with the blocks. They go out of alignment by about a pixel or two. I edit all images in photoshop before importing them at the right size, but I notice some of them on the site have changed size. What is causing that?

I’m also considering adding an infinite scroll plugin to the posts, do you have any to recommend that will be most compatible with the theme?

Thanks again!

Hi I just purchased this theme and I wanted to say that I really love it!! The only issue I have right now it that all my featured images posts .are converted to black and white and I can figure out how to show them in color. Thanks!!

Hello and thank you!

You can disable “desaturated” images in admin panel > Other styling

Thanks

thanks for the help and support, I really appreciate it

Hi, we’ve built our site using your theme. We’ve modified it a bit but while most of it loads pretty quick, the thumbs take quite a while to generate. I see some other comments from people here with a similar problem. Could you have a look and let me know if you have any ideas to speed things up? http://www.vantage-magazine.com and http://www.vantage-magazine.cn

Hello,

you theme is wrongly customized, I strongly recommend to use wp codex to make changes (especially how to enqueue scripts: http://prntscr.com/619svj ) and you need to use cropped / optimized images.

Thank you

Thanks very much for taking the time to look and for the suggestions, I’ll look in to them.

hi, i really like you theme. quick question… i want to use this style theme with the blocks for a non magazine related company so could i add non blog entries among the blog entries i.e. one of the blocks would contain a description to the company or have a static image and not link anywhere or be a blog entry. thanks

Hello,

no sorry, this is blogging theme in the first place and “masonry” layout is available only for posts.

Thank you

Hi. I have already bought this theme, it worked normal, but after I updated the wordpress to version 4.1 it stopped working in the menu and widget sections, so I can`t change widgets or add a daughter page.

Hello,

theme is tested and fully compatible with wp 4.1. And theme has no capability to affect functionality of menu or widget sections – I recommend to check your plugins.

Thank you

Hello Danci I would like my BLOG PAGE template (with right sidebar) to show full size post thumbnail and blog text preview below, instead than a small post thumbnail with blog text preview on right. Is there a way for doing this? Thank you

Hello,

this in default blog page (template) : http://prntscr.com/5xb9hd I’m not sure how you want to increase size of images…

Yes I would like to have just one post for each row and big thumbnail image…now my blog template is different is this one http://www.italianbark.com/interior-design-blog/ so i was wondering if there is a way with the code to change it

thank you!

Yes, it is possible, but we are not able to provide theme customizations – it is not covered by theme support. You can check the WordPress theme section of Studio: http://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress . There’s plenty of quality freelancers offering customization services.

Thank you

Hi, I am interested in buying the theme. 1. Does it support woocommerce ? 2. And, can I use subscription method to restrict some posts to only the paid members of the website? 3. If I add/delete posts, will the homepage images arrange themselves automatically? 4. Can I select posts in only a particular category to be displayed on homepage ?

Hello and thank you for your interest!

1. basic setup is required: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/ but yes, you can use woocommerce with this theme

2. no, such a feature is not available

3. yes, layout is created/ordered automatically using this script: http://isotope.metafizzy.co/

4. no, it is not possible without modification

Thank you

Last Update : 26 June 14

As i’m interested by it, i wanted to know if there is any update planned ?

Will you bring more to it ? new shortcode, new possibility, new design capability, etc ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello there,

no sorry, additional features are not in plan at this time.

Thank you

Hi there! Having problems with showing video from youtube. Sometimes when you open post-page with youtube video on it, it just won’t show the video. It shows only when you refresh the page. Check it out: http://cucumber.kz/tradition-for-everyone/

Hello,

sorry, but this is not related to the theme. In posts are used plain iframe codes so if video is not visible, issue (lagging etc.) is one 3rd party server (youtube, vimeo).

Thank you

liking your theme. Looking to use it

question though, do I have control over which articles appear at what size on the front page (1/4 or 1/2) and the layout?

How is that configured

Thanks

Hello and thank you!

You can select size for every post in post options. Layout is created automatically using isotope script (can be controlled only via publish date).

Thanks

Hello Dannci, This is a very nice theme. My site use this plugin: http://goo.gl/vvzSdC for long content. Before I buy I want to check if my plugin work on your theme? Please let me know. Thanks.

Best,

Tantyo

Hello Tantyo,

I’m sorry, but theme is not tested Aesop plugin.

Thank you

Hello!

Please can i make video posts? That may show in the present front page? Really important! Can I add facebook & instagram widgets just like the twitter?

Hello,

sorry, we are not available for custom works now. For these is complex customization required and I’m not sure if this theme (picture based) is the right for your project.

Thank you

Common you seem to quick to say it can not be used for my project, when you do not even know my project! Thanks for your time. Buying the theme regardless, because it suits my purpose near perfectly

Yes, I don’t know your project, but I know that will be tough to get video on the homepage and especially make masonry grid responsive after taht, ‘cause videos are not scalable (width vs height ratio) as images. Thanks

I’m really missing an about us page in this theme. :(

Hello,

you can use default page + shorcodes + texts/images to create any ‘about us’ page. Block is blog theme in the first place and predefined about us pages are not standard in these themes.

Thank you

Hiya! I unfortunately need to deactivate prettyphoto because it conflicts with jetpack’s photon. I have to use photon because Event Plugin was using timthumb, which is now not supported anymore, so I need resizing on the fly and photon seems to be the solution, except that when I click on a picture it is displayed twice if you see what I mean :P Is it possible to disable prettyphoto?

Hi Dannci,

I have a problem with the “Views” value: it’s completely unfiltered and includes views by spamming bots as well. As a consequence the “most popular” posts in the widget are wrong. I like the look and feel of themnific tabs though, as well as the possibility to have the number of views displayed on the page. Is it possible to change the way the number of views are counted, or to filter spam bot views from that counter? I have jetpack installed. It seems to provide me trough its stats a more accurate figure concerning the views. All the best.

Answered via support ticket. Thanks

Beautiful design. If you add sticky menu, I will buy it. Hopefully in the next version :) Merry Christmas.

Hello and thank you! Thanks for idea, I’ll consider that. Merry Christmas.

So. I am considering buying your theme but not sure it’d fit with what I have in mind. Basically, it’s a blog for for my own stories and poems. Planning to post each piece of content as an image, while some as pure text.

Hello and thank you for your interest:

But I think that this theme is not the right for you. Theme layout is based especially on featured images and text can be used only in ‘quote’ posts (these posts are without links to single posts)

Thank you

Hi,

Hi! I am looking to find out how to get rid of the shortening of the titles on the homepage? All the titles are shortened to around 70 or so characters.

Is there any way to disable the shorten title feature? Thanks!

New to wordpress….....presale question: can you save some default images to be used on multiple posts that do not have a unique image pertaining to the blog post? I’m thinking of a default image that would be more of an icon for the category. Would this theme accomodate posts that do not have an image at all?

Hello and thank you for your interest.

If featured image is not set, defaut image will be used: http://prntscr.com/5a9b5w (available only for standard /small/ – posts). You can change this “replacement” image.

Thank you
