Hi,

many of the theme’s texts (for example those service buttons) are actually part of the LSVR Toolkit (Blue Collar) plugin. It’s has it’s own Po/Mo files so you will have to translate it separately. Not sure if Polylang allows that but you can use Codestyling Localization to for this.

However, strings defined in Theme Options (like Home) are something different. It seems that they must be explicitly passed to Polylang to make them available for translation via this plugin. I will try to include this in the next update this week.

Lubos

Thank Lubos! Maybe an issue on server side but even if I delete or edit the original en_GB inside theme/bluecollar/languages/ More Info stick there. I will take a look at the server database.

Again, some string are not in the theme folder but in the LSVR Toolkit (Blue Collar) plugin. It has a separate languages folder and .po/.mo files (check it out under wp-content/plugins/lsvr-toolkit-bluecollar). On the other hand, string defined in Theme Options (like “Home” in breadcrumbs) can’t be (probably) translated via Polylang at all (right now), but I will try to fix this in the next update (but it needs some further investigation, so I can’t tell you for sure if it will be possible).

Sorry for the confusion Lubos! I’ll try to translate the LSVR Toolkit language file. Thanks

No problem. Feel free to keep me posted if you come across any issues. Polylang seems to be a very simple plugin in comparison to WPML (which is paid), so I am curious if it will be even possible to use it for fully multi lang site with theme like this.

Hi Lubos! CodeStyling Localization works but kind of 2 years without any updates. At least it works to translate some text like the MORE INFO! Combine with Polylang, it seems to works fine! Only the Home for the Breadcrumb that still need a fix. Not sure about all the CTA Button. Learn more, Purchase, and the Branding Info.

Yeah, I know that it seems weird that it wasn’t updated for so long, but if it works…:) I will take a look at this Home label in the next update. What do you mean by Not sure about all the CTA Button. Learn more, Purchase, and the Branding Info ? Are you having trouble translating those?

Hi Lubos, on my side, More Info is Translated. The Branding, still trying to figure out how and where to translate it. I’ll let you know if I came across another translate issue. Thanks

Hi,

header logo height is limited to 50px, you can change this value with the following CSS, but it can broke the header.

.header-branding .brading-logo img { max-height: 50px; }

CSS is compressed for performance reasons. You can find uncompressed SASS version in the root folder (style.scss). But I highly recommend you to use Object Inspector in Chrome or Firebug in Firefox to examine styles directly in browser and then just override it via Custom CSS in Theme Options or via style.css in Child Theme.

If you really need to have style.css uncompresed, you can use this tool. However, I do NOT recommend to change parent theme’s style.css in any way, this is not the right way to customize theme’s CSS.

Hi,

widgets have to be created manually, there is no code for that. But if you imported the demo.xml you should see those demo widgets as Inactive widgets in bottom section of Appearance / Widgets page (but I am not 100% sure with this). Just drag and drop them to Bottom Panel.

BTW, don’t forget to rate 5* please, it will help me a lot. Thank you! Also, as this is my first theme with Visual Composer, I would love to hear your feedback on overall ease of use, clarity of documentation etc…

Lubos

Thanks for that info.

Can you tell me where I can find and change the opacity and colour of the ‘Header Background Image’ overlay please.

Also on my home page I have some code: [lsvr_image lightbox=”” image=”299” size=”large” custom_class=”margin-top-negative-70”

What is this and how do i use it? In your documentation you have a picture using VC single image – but there is no single image facility in VC?

ad header BG opacity: please read this

ad weird code: this is a an Image shortcode. You are right that in documentation, I am using VC single image element, but I’ve decided to go for a custom solution in the last minute. Anyway, where exactly do you see this code? Because in VC, it should look like this. So you can hover over this Image element, click on edit and upload your own image. So, do you see this code in VC or live on your site? BTW there is an option to rever to default VC image element (or any other default VC element), just read this.

Hi there,

The image code I saw was in VC and I could not interact or edit it in anyway.

The widgets are not present in the ‘Inactive’ area after data import and I cannot add tags to the title area to replicate what you have on your demo. Please advise.

Hi,

it depends which Home page from the demo are you using. If you are using 1, then just go to Theme Options / Header Settings and use Number of Services Per Row option. If you are using home 2,3,4 then services are created as part of content via Visual Composer. So just open page, switch to Visul Compsoer view and edit option of Services element.

Lubos

Hello LubosVolovar,

Thanks for your response. Am using home-1 but I couldn’t change it using Theme Options / Header Settings and use Number of Services Per Row option. It is 4 fixed. Not editable. Can check it please? So I can fix it here asap? Thankd

Hi,

sorry, it is editable but it’s max value is 4. I will change this in the next update, meanwhile, you can edit the “includes/redux/options-config.php” file (in theme folder). Search for “header_services_items_per_row”. Whole code block will look like this:

array(
'id' => 'header_services_items_per_row',
'type' => 'slider',
'title' => __( 'Number of Services Per Row', 'lsvrtheme' ),
'default' => '4',
'min' => '2',
'step' => '1',
'max' => '4',
),

Just change the "'max' => '4'," to "'max' => '5',". Now you will be able to set number of services per row to 5. Or just wait for next update if you don’t want to mess with the code.

Lubos

Thanks Lubos. I already edited the CSS to make it 6 per row. Because I have 12 services in total.

Now, I have also removed the icons but am trying to make each service-item have different background-color just like the new http://lynda.com page. Can you help with that? If yes how much will that cost? Thanks

This will require some additional coding to make each service posses an unique class (let’s say based on its slug). Nothing hard and it is actually a great idea. I can add it to the next update (I’ve just submited the new update today – 1.0.5, so I can add this in the 1.0.6 in few days). Then I can give you simple Custom CSS to change color for each service.

But if you need it ASAP, then you will have to hire a freelancer as I am not available for freelance work.

Thanks Lubos for your prompt response. I think It will be great to have it in the subsequent update. I will try doing that myself and see if it works. Goodluck once again in sales!!!

I will do my best to release 1.0.6 within upcoming week, so don’t hesitate to contact me after that and ask for that Custom CSS.

BTW, please, spend a minute and rate Blue Collar 5*. It will help me a lot! Thank you.

Thank you. In case you add the alternate color implementation in the subsequent version please put it beside the service icon with color palette in the service page. Thank you

Not sure what do you mean (it’s early morning here:))

Goodmorning Lubo,

What I meant is when you’re working on a new update, in case you go ahead with making it possible to have the kind of color implementation on http://lynda.com. Am suggesting that you implement the ability to change the background-color of each service-item the same way you can change the service-icon. Thanks

Ok, I get it now. Not sure if I am fan of this idea, because when I do this, it will be logical to make also a field to define the service icon color and this will complicate few things. But anyway, I can assure you, that once I will implement those unique classes feature, making a different background will be just matter of simple CSS which I will happily provide.

Hello Lubos,

Wow thanks for being on time on your update. Am downloading it now to continue my work. You said I should remind you of the CSS I can use to modify the color for each of the service slug. Just a follow-up. Thanks

Hi,

here is that promised Custom CSS. Add it under Theme Options / Custom CSS/JS:

.c-service.slug-<service-slug> .service-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
.c-service.slug-<another-service-slug> .service-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
...

For example, for services in my demo it will look like this:

.c-service.slug-central-heating .service-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
.c-service.slug-electricity .service-header { background-color: #FF0000; }
...

If you don’t know where to find/edit slug, check out this image.

Of course, this will work only when you DON’T have service thumb image.

Hello,

which boxes do you mean? You can change the number of items per row for every content element, but please be more specific and I can tell you exactly if it will be possible .

Lubos

I’m talking about the items in the slider just below the header : http://demos.volovar.net/bluecollar.wp/demo/home-2/

You have 8 items in square

Hello,

this text is hardcoded in archive-lsvrservices.php (if you are talking about default services list page). You can change it there in the code, or translate the theme via Codestyling Localization.

Lubos

I did manage to change the Localization file, but it only change on the home1, home2 is still showing ‘More Info’

You still mean “More Info” on services, right? Both Home 1 & 2 are using exactly the same shortcode for displaying service list, so if it works on 1, it have to work on 2. If not, then it have to be some kind of caching issue.
