Thanks a lot. I found LearnDash support this function with Course Grid add-on.

Great. Thanks for letting us know.

comments_template('/comments.php', true); // Loads the comments.php template.

It works now. Very appreciate for your quick response.

Looks like you are asking how you can sell courses, if I am getting this query right. I suggest you have a look at LearnDash LMS which lets you manage this. A full fledged LMS like LearnDash would enable you manage payments, users, courses -free or paid etc. You can learn more from http://learndash.com. The theme fully supports LearnDash.

If you are developing an English language site, pls use en_US.po file to make the required “translations” of strings. If you need to edit the file itself (not recommended), pls have a look at the line number 366 onwards in framework/presentation/metabox-manager.php file.

Thanks for your quick replies, but I think you misinterpreted. I don’t want to change the language at all, it will be purely in english. What I do want to change is the content entry on the course pages. The theme by default lets me change the following:

course ID course discipline credit room number days the course is conducted course timings

I want to change these to

course ID Level credit venues dates duration

I managed to change how these fields look to the site viewer, but I need them to change in the backend too so that the client can change the information without confusion.

Also if possible I might want to add the following fields in addition to those above:

Application Fee Additional costs Class size

Is this possible?

The translation is a good way to change strings instead of changing theme code manually, specially if the changes are minimal. This holds true even if you do not need any translation. The less code changes there are, the easier it becomes to manage updates and maintenance.

The line number 366 onwards in framework/presentation/metabox-manager.php file should help if you want to change strings in the code. It should also help you add new fields to the backend. Once added, you will need to use the new fields in your single-course.php. There are many examples after line number 75. If you do not feel comfortable with code changes, I would recommend you hire someone on Envato Studio to make these changes. Thanks

At present we do not have messaging or forum demonstrated. You will need to load and style appropriate plugins to achieve the same. The profile of the user is part of what wordpress provides by default. Thanks for your interest.

Search field is just a wordpress native widget that can be dragged and dropped into any of the many sidebars supported by the theme. You can see an example of thee same in the single blog posts like this one -

Thanks for your interest.

ok I see. So its not possible to have a global search field in the header somewhere – only in sidebars?

It is possible with customization of the theme. Thanks.

Can you pls visit Settings->Permalinks and see if the issue gets resolved. You may also try to disable all plugins once and try to see if a plugin is causing this. If that does not resolve, pls send us a temp login via our profile page – http://themeforest.net/user/LiveMesh#contact and we will get this resolved this for you.

Glad you like the theme. Pls use the following custom CSS in theme options and you should do fine then -

#header.sticky #site-logo {
top: 0;
}

I cannot get back into the helpdesk because our old email is defunct. I did try turning off all plugins and the problem persists. I can set the primary menu to the menu I want, but it won’t save (even if I press the save button) I can start a new helpdesk ticket with my own email if that is ok with you?

Yes, starting a new ticket would be great. Pls make sure you paste the contents of the old ticket forwarded to you. Look forward to the same. Thanks!

Thanks, have done so

You may need to set the revolution slider in the Edit page window. Pls select a slider instance and do an explicit update even if the revolution slider looks to be selected in the page edit window. Pls have a look at this video which demonstrates how to configure the revolution slider on the home page -

The import file should be available already in the revolution slider folder seen after you unzip the download bundle. If you still have trouble finding the same, pls send us an email via profile contact form – http://themeforest.net/user/LiveMesh#contact and we will be happy to send the same across to you. Thanks for your purchase.

Thanks for your interest. Not sure why you are experiencing a slowdown. I checked again today and it seems to be quite speedy here (2-3 secs for a hard refresh and less than a sec for loading without refresh). Can you try loading the site on a different network and see if that makes any difference? Also, can you go directly to the site – http://portfoliotheme.org/invent/ and see if that makes a difference?

Regarding videos – the theme does support HTML5/YouTube videos but for large images, you may need to customize the theme a bit depending on where you want the images to be.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I’ve tried today and it seems that it’s loading for 2-3 seconds. Regarding the videos and pictures probably the best will be to embed the videos directly from Youtube and Vimeo. The same goes about the pictures hosted on another plateforms.

Glad to hear things are looking better. Thanks for letting us know.

mouretDK – When I checked my test environment, I was able to display the same staff sidebar on both Staff page templates and Specialization taxonomy pages too. Can you pls verify if the above mentioned code exists in line number 198/199 in sidebar-manager.php? Can you pls email me a temp login in case this does not solve the problem. You can email me via my profile page – http://themeforest.net/user/LiveMesh#contact. Thanks.

The lines are there. I will send you login. thanks!

Hmm – I got it working know – the problem is if I choose a custom side bar then It will revert to the default one under specialization (that is the staff side bar).

My staff pages is a subpage of an “about” section of the website. The parent “about” page is a normal page, but since I want the same sidebar on all about related pages I have to make two sidebars with the same content. If I could select “staff side bar” for other non-staff pages I would not have to duplicate the sidebar.

Perhpas not easy to fix but the best solution for me would be if the staff could use a custom sidebar on the filtered pages too (specialzation).

News has the same issue.

On the theme landing page , I have provided links to the Flickr profiles. Pls have a look. Thanks for your purchase.

Thanks for your purchase. You just have to create the required lessons/courses etc. and then set the featured image for the learndash courses as explained here -

Having said that, I would still recommend you do a sample data import again after learndash activation since it won’t change existing posts/pages and will only import the missing LearnDash data. That will speed up the learning curve. You can also find sample data import file on LearnDash support site hopefully.

Oh yeah just found it too Works perfectly by including the PHP file in the child theme (like the example inclusion you have provided)

Next problem:

I can’t get staff sorted alphabetically? Also no matter what I do the re-order plugin has no effect apparently? (been trying on the main theme as well as the child theme)

answering my own problem – but I’m curious to know if the sorting works for you without this?

Had to add the orderby/order to the args in loop-staff.php:

$query_args = array(
'post_type' => 'staff',
'posts_per_page' => 8,
'paged' => $paged,
'orderby'   => 'title', // 'menu_order' if re-order is used
'order'     => 'ASC'
);

The sorting is by default date based and hence the change you made is required to make it work that way.

I’m going to ask for a refund, you lied completely to my particular question about a carousel events.

Your support replied to me: “We don’t have events carousel as such”

Authors like you shouldn’t be allowed to sell here!

I understand you being disappointed about this since you specifically asked for it. Actually, I was right when I said the carousel for events should work and the support was not able to retrieve the post type name from the events calendar plugin and hence they were not able to give you required information. I apologize for the confusion.

Here is the actual shortcode which you can try out in a page or page section which should let you see an events carousel -

[segment background_color="#eeeeee"]

[heading2 title="Our college events" pitch_text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer elit arcu sit proin a vel porttitor risus."]

[post_snippets_carousel id="events-carousel" post_type="tribe_events" navigation="true" post_count=6 image_size='medium' display_title=true show_meta=true display_summary=true show_excerpt="true" excerpt_count=80 hide_thumbnail="false" navigation="true"]

[/segment]

While the above code should provide with a decent carousel, if you need to slightly beautify it, you can use the following custom CSS in your theme options Custom CSS tab and the carousel should look as good as any other carousel

.carousel-container .post-snippets .type-tribe_events {
    margin: 0 10px 20px 10px;
    background: #FFF;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    transition: box-shadow 0.25s ease;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.carousel-container .post-snippets .type-tribe_events .entry-text-wrap {
    padding: 5% !important;
}

I hope the above meets your need. Lying about functionality to obtain a sale does not make sense for a author since a single bad rating can hurt lot more sales. The other day someone rated us two stars saying “Revolution slider does not work with this theme” and never bothered to ask here nor contact us via support forum and ThemeForest does not have a way to contact someone unless they ask a query here or in the forum. Hence we are stuck with the bad rating now knowing fully well that revolution slider works with the theme for so many users of ours and our setup video demonstrates the same. I appreciate you being straightforward on this so that we could resolve this for you. Hope the above code works well for you. Pls let me know if you have more queries.

upoing – Did the code we posted help? Are you still facing the issue? Can I make a request to change the rating pls? I understand you were upset about this and rated us one star and now that we have clarified, I request you to reconsider your rating. Thanks in advance.

Pls post the link to your site and I will look into the issue.

Thanks!

Hi! Here’s the site link – http://goo.gl/slr4dM I just need the button size and text to be readable on mobile

Pls paste the following code into custom css in the theme options

If you still face issues, pls send me a temp login to your dashboard through the contact form in my profile page and I will fix the issue.

Thanks!

.page-id-11496 #title-area h1 {
display: none;
}

You need to replace the .page-id-11496 in the CSS with the page id of your page.

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('iframe').each(function() {
var url = $(this).attr("src");
if ($(this).attr("src").indexOf("?") > 0) {
$(this).attr({
"src" : url + "&wmode=transparent",
"wmode" : "Opaque" 
});
}
else {
$(this).attr({
"src" : url + "?wmode=transparent",
"wmode" : "Opaque" 
});
}
});
});

Thanks again – will check it out
