Hi, I wish to buy this theme. Just need to know if I can host audio posts on it? Like soundcloud embed so that it appears as the thumbnail and people can play it without opening the post. Like it happens for Videos.

Hi :)

Thanks for your interesting. SoundCloud player on homepage is not supported. Only available on the individual post.

Hi, thanks for your response. Can you please show me a sample audio post?

Hi :)

Please check that post again. I just fix it. Thanks for your report.

Pre-sales questions:

a) Does this theme allows public users to submit contents and get published?

b) can public users submit video contents?

Hi, Thanks for your interesting :)

These features is not a theme’s feature. It depends on your wordpress settings and plugins. The instruction on this page may help you http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-allow-users-to-submit-posts-to-your-wordpress-site/

Whenever I try to use the TAB shortcode, I get the following PHP error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /home/—-/public_html/wp-content/themes/sprout/inc/template-tags.php on line 441

(I blanked out my site name for security)

Any ideas on this?

Hi :)

I’ve checked on demo site but not found this error. Please update theme to latest version (v1.1.0) by re-download theme file from ThemeForest and check the problem again.

I would like the buy the theme. There is just one thing. I would like to turn off the date for the posts and the comments.

So no date of the post of comments should be visible in the code. Is that possibel? If yes, could you please tell me wich extra lines of code I need to add.

Hope to hear from you soon, can’t wait to use the theme :)

damm. That’s too bad :( I would have loved the theme.

how about you help me once, I won’t update it after that :P

Hi :)

A very simple way is using above css. If you’re serious about the code, I recommend you to hire some freelancer for this task.

I have another question, is there some possibility to change the font size/family of megamenu? I decided to add a list of categories in the left side of my megamenu and then, in the right side, 3 category columns, like your demo site.

So I’d like to change the font size of that list that I said.

Thanks

Hi :)

The option for adjust a font size in sub menu is not available but you can use CSS to adjust it. Please copy a custom css from the below

.vw-menu-location-main .vw-mega-menu-type-category .sub-menu-link {
  font-family: 'FONT_NAME_HERE' !important; /* Change font name here */
  font-size: 16px !important; /* Change font size here */
}

Then navigate to ‘Theme Options > Custom CSS/JS’ and paste into ‘Custom CSS’ option.

Thanks a lot envirra.

Hey I installed the theme and uploaded the Demo Data. why is my slider takes forever to load?

What’s the issue?

Hi :)

Please update theme to latest version (v1.1.0) be re-download theme file from ThemeForest again. It may be help.

If the problem is still, Please send me a url of that page. Thanks.

Hi, I have a problem with SocialCounter widget, I entered a “Facebook Page ID” but it doesn’t work, how should I fix it?

Hi :)

Please find your facebook id by using this tool http://findmyfacebookid.com/

If the problem is still, Please send me a url of your facebook page.

This is the URL of my page: https://www.facebook.com/StatsMEDIA/ I tried to find the ID by that website but it doesn’t work for some reasons.

Please help.

Hi :)

You page ID is correct (328600203821465). I think this may caused from some settings on facebook because your page can’t be accessed if not logged in to the facebook.

Please check your facebook page setting to enable your page can access from not logged in user (You can test by using another browser or incognito/private mode in browsers).

Also, you can compare with this page https://www.facebook.com/envatomarket that can be accessed even you’re not logged in.

Hi. Just another question. Is it possible to paste a share price and currency quotes from another source into the class=”vw-breaking-news-bar”? And i also support idea by jon_b 2
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…
And another thx for your feedback and fast support!

Hi :)

1. If you’ve a knowledge in coding, You can modify this file ’\themes\sprout\templates\breaking-news-bar.php’ and ’\themes\sprout\js\main.js’. We’re using newsTicker for showing a breaking news.

2. I will check for a possibility to have this feature. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi

First of all. It’s a great theme.

1.) Would id be possible to remove the the featured image on the post page? I wasn’t successful with this workaround https://theme.co/x/member/forums/topic/hide-blog-featured-image/

2.) Is there a way to get payed support for some customizations?

have a great day, xooops

Hi :)

1. At post edit page, Please set the option ‘Post Options > Post Layout’ to ‘Classic (No Featured Image)’.

2. Kindly sorry, I’ve no service for theme customization. BTW, You can see a basic guide for modify this theme at topic ‘11. Advanced Customization’ on this documentation http://envirra.com/themes/sprout/document/

Hi,

1.) cool thanks 2.) OK, I have read the documentation. I no so good in customizing the custom templates. But I will try :-)

really a great theme! I happy to see new features :-)

I have followed your instructions to get the Facebook page iD and I have placed it in the widget, but it does not link to my page, only to facebook.com, and it shows 0 fans. When I put in Envato’s (80655071208) it doesn’t work either.

Hi :)

Please make sure all of caching plugin on wordpress is already purged after you’ve change the facebook page ID. Otherwise, Please disable all plugin and check again.

Great theme! One question- how do I get photos on for authors? I don’t want to have to make everyone sign up through gravatar, and I put in a plugin to add pics to profiles but that didn’t work.

Hi :)

You can use this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-local-avatars/ for upload an avatar directly at user profile page.

How can I customize the tweet copy when clicking on the share icon on a post? Currently, it is not structured correctly, and the spaces between words are missing:

“http://Backto(Blog)Basics – http://www.gritandglamour.com/2015/02/20/back-to-blog-basics/"

I’d like it to be [POST TITLE]: [URL] via [TWITTER USERNAME], like this:

“Back to (Blog) Basics: http://www.gritandglamour.com/2015/02/20/back-to-blog-basics/ via @gritandglamour

Thanks! So far, I’m really loving this theme. It’s the fastest, easiest out-of-the-box theme I’ve ever dealt with. :)

Hi :)

The option to change the tweet copy is not available.

If you have a knowledge in coding, You can edit this file ’\themes\sprout\inc\post-shares\post-shares.php’ by modify this line of code (around line 35)

$twitter_url = sprintf( 'https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=%s', $post_title.'%20-%20'.$post_url );

Hello,

I have 2 question:

- First one: Where can I set the top ad section just on the right of logo? - Second one: I’m trying to find Sprout Shortcodes plugin but I don’t know from where I can download the files.

thanks

Hi :)

1. You can set this option ‘Theme Options > Site > Site Header Layout’ to ‘Left Logo’ and the top ad will be placed on the right. BTW, On mobile device, There is a few space. Thus tops ad must be placed under logo.

2. Please update theme by re-download the theme file from ThemeForest. You will see a notification for installing the shortcode plugin in the admin page. Just click to install those plugins.

Thanks envirra.

Is there a function to add social sharing for individual posts? Facebook, Pinterest, etc? :-)

Hi :)

The individual post page is already has a social sharing function. Just click the share icon under post title (beside post view’s eye icon).

can i have just a basic page has the homepage with the slideshow?

Thanks!

Hi :)

You can create a homepage by using Simple Page Composer and add two sections

1. Post Slider – For a large slider

2. Custom Content Section – For a static content

Very nice, elegant and flexible theme, congrats.

Just two points:

1) For those like me who are changing from other themes, in order to use “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin, wich are the recommended image size (wp) settings?

2) Parallax! Yep, It would be nice (ex: in “Full page link section”). Maybe in the future?

Thanks!

Hi :)

1. If you’ve an existing images, You need to use ‘Regenerate Thumbnails’ to regenerate all image thumbnail to a proper size.

2. Thanks for your suggestion. I will consider this feature later.

HI! how can I display caption in a a gallery format?

Thank you!

Yes, I write the caption text… but it didin´t show on gallery post. http://216.246.23.186/~cronistalascolon/?p=576

Only show caption in gallery post – full width. Not in gallery post – slider option

OK, I got it. This issue will be fixed in the next update. Thanks :)

Any plans or is it possible to add a infinite-scroll to the home page?

Hi :)

I have no plan for this feature but it looks interesting, I will check a possibility to have this feature. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello, I found another bug causing me problems. On posts, whenever I have a title that is longer than 30-32 characters it just cuts the next letter instead of moving the whole word to the next line. For example the following is the title of one of my posts:

CELEBRA EL DÍA DE REYES CON EL NUEVO EMPAQUE DE EDICIÓN LIMITADA DE JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL

However it is cutting it like this:

CELEBRA EL DÍA DE REYES CON EL N UEVO EMPAQUE DE EDICIÓN LIMITA DA DE JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABE L

What can I do about this? It’s quite problematic that it doesn’t recognize the whole word and moves it.

Thanks.

Hi :)

This issue was fixed. Please update theme to the latest version by re-download theme file from ThemeForest download page. More information about updating the theme at topic ‘01. Getting Started > How To Update The Theme’ on this documentation http://envirra.com/themes/sprout/document/

Pre-sales question.

In the theme where the ‘breaking news’ part is….is it possible to have a a different menu there with links to different pages such as: About, Advertise, Subscribe, Testimonials etc.

In the main menu I would prefer to keep it about the topics.

A lot of themes have this 2 menu function and it would be really beneficial for me. Breaking news would not be needed for my niche.

Here is an example of what i mean at the top of the site: http://upscalelivingmag.com/

Like on your presso theme.

Hi, Thanks for your interesting :)

You can set the option ‘Theme Options > Site > Site Top-bar’ to ‘Top Menu / Social Links’ for showing the text menu on the left side and social links on the right side.

Excellent. Thank you for clarifying.
