Fantastic looking theme – just wondering on a couple of things:

1) are there plans for another menu placement option (e.g. right aligned, horizontally aligned with the logo)? Seems to be a lot of space wanting to be used there…

2) Imagine it’s easy enough to adjust via custom CSS, but wondering if there was a reason you opted to have the arrows for slideshows placed just below the top of the frames, as opposed to in the middle

Thanks

Hi :)

Thanks for your interesting.

1. I’ve no plan for this option at this time but sounds interesting. I will decide to add this option later.

2. No reason, Just a design :D You can use the below css to make it center in vertical

.bx-prev, .bx-next {
  top: 50% !important;
  margin-top: -25px !important;
}

Hello, Is it possible to have the main layout in this theme the same as the Food/ Cuisines and Recent Videos in the Neue theme?http://themeforest.net/item/neue-smart-modern-magazine-theme/full_screen_preview/7951727

Thanks it looks great. How can I have all the grid blocks evenly aligned. I know the post heading may affect this.

Hi :)

Please use the ‘Masonry Grid’ layout instead.

Thanks

Hi, how “Enable Facebook Open Graph Supports” option should work? I can’t see any open graph fields in post/pages.

Hi :)

This will enable the code for compatible with facebook when sharing the post, There is no additional options. If you need more options, Please use an SEO plugin like Yoast and disable this option.

I doesn’t work good with the main page though… I had to disable it and use additional plugin.

OK. 8)

PS. This option is fetch all wordpress settings (Site name, Tagline, etc.) to set the open graph parameter by automatically. Just complete the wordpress settings to make this option working.

Hi, Sticky sidebars (both left and right) do not work on posts (I choose “left (mini)/content/right” for default post sidebar position). How to make the sidebars sticky?

Hi :)

You need to enable this option ‘Theme Options > Site > Enable Sticky Sidebar’.

If the sticky sidebar is still not working, Please disable all plugins and check again.

Take a look at this website for First Time Buyers in the UK. I’m trying to get a pricing table working on this page about surveys and ordering a survey. I want a comparison table and can see it in the design, but not in the shortcodes documentation. Can you advise how to do this?

Can you look into this please as I need this working in my website

Hi :)

It looks like a bug in pricing table shortcode. I will fix this in the next update.

To workaround, Please open this file ’\themes\sprout\inc\shortcodes.php’ and find this code (around line 664)

<?php echo $content; ?>

Replace with this code

<?php echo do_shortcode( $content ); ?>

Save and done.

Ok thanks. Works. Thank you

Hi,

I cannot find any documentation on using short codes for pricing tables. Can you please provide details?

Hi :)

Sorry for my mistake. Here is a sample of pricing table shortcode (This example contains all options of the shortcode).

Thank you. You might want to update your readme and documentation to add this shortcode. Thank you

Thanks. I already add this task into my todo list 8)

Is it possible to insert a slider gallery into a Page, and not a Post?

Is it possible to insert a slider gallery into a Page, and not a Post?

Hi :)

This option is not available.

Hi, I have the new version of theme and when I’m trying to add sidebar thorough Appearance/Sidebars, nothing happens. I’m putting new sidebar name and it doesn’t create anything.

Hi :)

I’ve checked this issue on demo site but not found the problem. Please disable all plugins and check again.

maybe I can PM you my login/pswd and you can check it?

On the Sprout: Social Counter for the YouTube portion it directs you to www.youtube.com/users/xxxxxxxx, however it seems youtube users /channel/ instead of /users/ at least now it does.

I edited the php code for widget-social-counter.php and changed it to /channel/ on my side and it worked like a champ. Unfortunately I tried this in my child theme but didn’t work, I am pretty new to child themes though so maybe widget files do not work.

Thanks again for a great theme!

Hi :)

I think the user and channel is the same. Example, these url is point to the same page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU9T1ceaOgwfLRq7OKFU4Q and https://www.youtube.com/user/linkinparktv

Hey there… Ahh ok, I see what is happening now. Youtube changed it to where you cannot create a “user” on new channels until you have 500 subscribers. Our channel is new and therefor cannot have a user name. I will see what I can do to work around this. Thank you for the response.

Hi :)

Thanks for your information. You can workaround by edit the code. Please open this file ’\themes\sprout\widgets\widget-social-counter.php’ and find the below code (around line 470)

$youtube['page_url'] = "http://www.youtube.com/user/".$username;

Replace with this code and change the url to your channel directly

$youtube['page_url'] = "YOUR_CHANNEL_URL_HERE";

Save and done.

Is there a way to make the social icon links on the bottom of the page open in a new window/tab? I looked for a way to do it via css but it seems no browsers support the methods I found. :(

Thank you I will check into it. I was hoping for a native way, similar to how the social links up top pop-out into a new window. Maybe in a new version. :)

I cant seem to change the header size. Also is there not a possibility of a Header widget. I am not using ads so it is a huge waste of space for me if I can’t put social icons in teh right por something.

Here is my site. http://episcoforma.org/

Could you please send me an admin account and site url? I will have a look into it. Thanks.

(Please send by using contact form on my profile page for a security)

sent to you….love the theme

hi! How can I display a photo on a quote shortcode?

Hi :)

You can insert the image in quote shortcode by manual after added in post content.

Hi Envirra, im trying to set the 404 page and i get this

Not Found

The requested URL /af was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

any idea, im setting it from general settings in theme settings

Hi :)

Please use the permalink other than Default. You can change the permalink settings at ‘Settings > Permalinks > Common Settings’.

Perfect, problem solved. I don’t get how to make a featured content as you have on your demo as well

Hi :)

Please tick the option Mark this post as featured in Post Options box on post edit page. Next, You can set the Post Order of section in Page Composer to Latest Featured Posts for shown the featured posts.

Hello I have a question about the ‘BREAKING’ news ticker. The only two options I have is Recent and Random. Where would I modify so that it reads a particular category only? Because this is very limiting.

Thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply. I’m not a coder but I dare delve a little bit. Can you suggest what code to put in to show a specific category in the Breaking News instead of random or new posts? Thank you again. That can make the part more useful for me. :-)

Hi :)

Please open this file ’\themes\sprout\inc\breaking-news.php’ and find the code (around line 26)

'post_type' => 'post',

Replace with this code

'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => 1, /* Replace the category ID here */

Save and done.

PS. Please don’t forget to backup the file before modifying.

Brilliant. That did it. I appreciate your time and support.

Hey, I’m working on a client site using this theme, but I can’t get the shortcodes to work.

I imported the demo content, but for example on this page the shortcodes aren’t working.

Am I missing something? Do I need to install a shortcode plugin for this to work? Theme version is 1.0.2.

Best, Jan

Hi :)

Yes, You need to install a shortcode plugin. Please download ‘All Files’ from ThemeForest and the plugin file will be located at ’/Plugins’.

For the next question, Please post by account that have purchased. Thanks.

Which composer is included? And is the review system with Schema.org snippets? :)

Hi :)

The Simple Page Composer is included with this theme. You can see how to use this composer in topic ‘02. Homepage Setup’ on this documentation http://envirra.com/themes/sprout/document/ (It’s really easy to use). For review system, Yes, It’s compatible with Schema.org.

Hi there, what I’m struggling with right now is the top menu bar color.

I want to maintain these colors but I’m having a hard time figuring out the Sprout theme color option here which one is the option to change the menu bar sticky color and to also change the menu bar text color.

Also, how do I change the color of text of widget FEATURED POSTS?

thx

I tried it but did not help. Is it broken or something? Also, my logo doesn’t stick with the top menu bar. Please help with these two issues. thx

Hi :)

1. For menu color, Please make sure you’ve already set the alpha to 1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/smvrbvy4xmd8ixy/Change%20menu%20color%20with%20alpha.png?dl=0

2. To show your logo on sticky bar, Please upload your logo at ‘Theme Options > Logo/Favicon > Navigation Logo > Mini Logo’.

If the problem is still, Please send me an admin account and site url (by using contact form on my profile page). I will have a look into it.

I sent you the message via your profile page. Again, your customer service is excellent!!!!!!!! You guys rock!!!!

Hi, I’m trying to get my main homepage similar to the one from you demo. I’ve imported all the demo content, but the homepage looks different and has different fonts, etc. http://www.startuperica.com

Hi :)

Could you please send me an admin account via contact form on my profile page? I will check it for you.

For Header Ads, It will be enabled automatically. Just paste an ads code in this option ‘Theme Options > Site > Header Ads’.

BTW, Thanks for your feedback. I’m improving an installation process of this theme (the new coding standard of ThemeForest that makes me in trouble).

Hi, I was able to set almost everything. Thanks! It should be fine right now. Can you tell me what fonts are you using on your preview?

OK. For the font in preview, I’m using Open Sans. Here is the configuration https://www.dropbox.com/s/ek89pu5l9c0ond0/hfghjvcsgwerfre.png?dl=0

Otherwise, You can click ‘Reset All’ button at Theme options panel and you will get all default settings :)

I am having a problem with the titles when in post detail. It is line breaking in between words and separating them. See example of the word ‘heart’ here: http://screencast.com/t/NzINVEaBob

Hi :)

This issue was fixed. Please update theme to latest version (v1.0.2) by redownload theme file from ThemeForest.
