Hi There, love the theme.

I’m having some issues with the search box (on top). The live search results are awesome, but i can’t seem to click on them (but right click open in new window works fine). I’m not sure if its a plugin compatibility or jquery conflict issue.

oops sorry, the theme is set up and running at http://www.autofreaks.com

Hi :)

This error is caused from Disqus plugin (that not check the value in their code as well). You may disable this plugin or wait Disqus to solve this issue.

I was wondering if your company does any sort of custom work along with your themes? The reason being is I am looking to purchase a theme, but need to have a form page created so that both users and visitors to the site can submit news to us. Based on your examples I believe I can achieve more or less everything else I require, although I may also need some additional tweaking, as I am not a coder, and have zero CSS knowledge.

Hi :)

Thanks for your interesting but i’ve no service for theme customization. You may ask some freelancer for this task http://studio.envato.com/explore/wordpress-customization

Thank you for the prompt follow up. I’ll look into a freelancer. Thanks again.

Hi! Pre purchasing questions:

1. Can I place 728×90 ad under the featured image of post? 2. Are there options using ad shortcodes (post, page)?

Hi, Thanks for your interesting :)

1. You can use a third-party plugin to insert ads at the position. Here is some interesting plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/ad-inserter/

2. This theme has a Header Ads option and placeholder for ads under post content (Custom Section for Post Footer). For other ads position, Please use a third-party plugin.

I cant figure out how to download the updated theme and install it without losing everything. Why does it not just update like other wropdress themese?

Hi (again)

I’m very happy with the theme :)

But I have a question: Is it possible to use a plugin like “All In One Schema.org Rich Snippets” or “Schema Creator by Raven”? Will it conflict with the “Built-in Review System”?

Thanks!

Hi :)

I think it may conflicted because this theme has built-in Schema.org supports. BTW, You can try it.

Excellent theme. I’d also be very happy to see wallpaper ads added as an option.

How do I create a “subscribe to our email newsletter” widget for a side bar and footer menu like on your demo page?

Hi :)

Just add a “SPROUT: Feedburner” widget into your footer sidebar at this page ‘Appearance > Widgets’. Also, You need to enter your FeedBurner ID.

Thanks so much! Is there a way to allow a widget to subscribe to my MailChimp account?

Hi :)

This widget is support only feedburner.

Replied in previous post 8)

Great work! I’m wondering how I can add a “categories page” for each category like you have set up in the live demo.

Thank you!

Hi :)

Please follow this steps https://www.dropbox.com/s/aqiaps5fbjaavkb/add-category-mega-menu.png?dl=0

More information about mega menu is at topic ‘06. Navigation Setup’ on this documentation http://envirra.com/themes/sprout/document/

Thanks a ton, got it!

Theme not working – fresh wordpress 4.1.1 install on a Debian 7 host, using nginx 1.7.10 and php 5.6.6.

Only Akismet and Wordpress Importer and Sprout plugins installed.

When activating Sprout as the theme, attempts to access the home page result in a timeout, and this message in my php-fpm slow log:

script_filename = index.php [0xb6672938] preg_match_all() wp-includes/compat.php:30 [0xb667278c] _mb_substr() wp-includes/compat.php:18 [0xb66726f8] mb_substr() wp-includes/class-json.php:902 [0xb6672564] substr8() wp-includes/class-json.php:799 [0xb6671084] decode() wp-includes/compat.php:86 [0xb6670f10] json_decode() wp-content/plugins/sprout-theme-options-panel/redux-framework/ReduxCore/inc/fields/typography/googlefonts.php:1 [0xb6670e5c] + dump failed

Attempting to access Categories or Tags subsection of Posts when the Sprout Theme Options plugin is activated results in a blank screen and the following error in php-fpm error log:

2015/02/23 23:54:26 [error] 13861#0: *92 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function filter_var() in wp-content/plugins/sprout-theme-options-panel/advanced-custom-fields/core/controllers/everything_fields.php on line 281” while reading response header from upstream, client: <my IP>, server: <my domain>, request: “GET /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/tmp/php-fpm.sock:”, host: ”<my host>”, referrer: “http://<my-domain>/wp-admin/edit.php”

Remove Sprout theme and plugins and everything is fine – tried w/ other third party themes and plugins and no problems.

Very frustrated – tried to use theme on an existing install and had the same problem, so went back and did a fresh install of everything, with default configuration files etc. Still no luck.

thanks – going to check out 1 and in 2 check the compilation options for php

2 was the key – compilation options are the culprit – missing—enable-json and—enable-filter (because of—disable-all)

Hi! The theme currently does not show the author name and the url of the people commenting, is this a bug? If it is not abug, how can I modify the comments.php so that the theme shows the name ( with the website linked to the name ) in the comments section

<3 I love you! Thanks for the update!

OK 8)

I just did :) Have a nice day & keep up the good work Best wishes from Germany

I am having issues with the feature image section loading on my site www.eatdrinkandshare.com I can’t seem to figure out what the issue is. It’s taking over a minute to load. Could you please contact and help me fix?

Thanks you! Erik

Sorry, responded down below. How do I upload the theme without loosing what I have built?

Thanks, Erik

I’m also having a hard time trying to figure out how to load my authors into the author widget. Photos and bios, can’t figure out where its housed. Thank you!

Hi :)

For theme re-installation, Please check previous question.

For author info, Just add a widget ‘SPROUT: Author’ into your sidebar. Also, You need to setup a gravatar for author’s photo or use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-local-avatars/ to upload a local photo.

Any plans for wallpaper ads?

Hi :)

I’ve no plan for this feature but it looks interesting. I will consider this feature later.

Awesome. Wall paper ads look great on boxed themes as they always show regardless of scrolling.

Is it not possible to have the social icons up top and search when you have top menu on?

I need the top menu, but don’t get search when I do that.

Hi :)

I’ve a plan to add a search icon for top menu with social links in next version.
