I keep getting this error message every time I upload the theme. I did some research and it had me look in the FAQ’s of the theme but I saw nothing that helped.

MESSAGE: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.

Hi empireofgiants ,

A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a “Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.

Whats the best way to update the theme on my server? Check the changelog.txt on the latest version the will download. The 2.1.2 ain´t listed.

Will the updates be on the envato toolkit plugin?

For sure that you can update from Envato Toolkit, if you don’t know how please read our tutorial.

I am a theme author myself, and purchased Aurum a couple of weeks ago to help a friend build his website. After working with it for some hours I must say that the team has done a tremendous job.

Total flexibility, and highly customizable. If you are still thinking to buy it, just do it. Uncluttered, great performance and very well thought-out.

Thanks for a great theme guys :)

Hi John

We are delighted to hear your opinion as longstanding author in ThemeForest, I am glad that your team found it easy to set up, but we will not stop and continue improve theme functionality even more we can.

Best regards

Hi John,

It would help us a lot if you could put this comment and rate Aurum on themeforest from your Downloads tab, if you don’t know how just open this link :)

Thanks,

Hi Ylli,

Can you help me with this?

My shop is online yet. But when you go to the shop that’s what you see http://wandat-shirt.com/pantallazos/03.png. You have to reload the page to see it well http://wandat-shirt.com/boutique/?lang=fr

Do you know why it happens? What can I do to avoid this? I have updated the theme and all the plugins.

thank you nath

Hi nath, yesterday we have released a new update to Aurum (version 2.1.2) can you please update theme, and this problem should be fixed :)

Kind Regards,
Ylli

I’m still getting duplicate images on product categories/homepage even with the latest version.

Is there a fix?

Hi w4rrenz

Can you send me the link where this happens? We have tried many fixes and unfortunately I was still not able to find the fix, its very complex issue :(


Arlind

http://www.waz.pw/feisfayre on the homepage, then first time you go into categories in from the menu.

What’s the issue around? I can’t go live with this site until it’s resolved, seems like a really major issue others should be aware off.

Can you please update Aurum, we have released version 2.1.2 and tell us if problem is still present.

Kind Regards,

Here are the slider settings http://cl.ly/image/3f2Z382n2f2R set them up just like in the image to make it like in the demo, which thumbnail size do you want to change? The mini cart or the view cart page?

Hello,

when I add the Woocommerce Plugin to my website working with aurum, the prices are displayed two times on the product details page (see screenshot http://bodenseele.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Double_Price.jpg

How do I remove the lower price?

You can send us email from Profile on themeforest, on the right side you will see “Email Laborator” box, please don’t forget to explain the problem again.

Hello.

We’re interested in buying the AURUM theme, However, before we do, we have a few questions and will appreciate if you could respond as quickly as possible:

A. We prefer the Aurum theme but we want to make the size of the homepage slider side ONLY, to look like you have have in your oxygen theme here in Home V2 http://demo.oxygentheme.com/home/home-v2/ In other words, we want to use have 1 image/video slider + 2 images on the right side. Can you advise how this can be achieved in the Aurum Theme if we go for Aurum homepage style V1?

B. In the Blog section, is it possible to hide the blog author box via ‘Theme Options’?

C. We can see that the theme offers sale of INTERNAL PRODUCT listed directly by store owner in the store, and also allows display of EXTERNAL PRODUCT. Can ‘EXTERNAL PRODUCT’ be applied for some products only instead of all store products?

D. In the single product page, the product ‘quantity’ option has a plus and minus icon, is there a way to hide the icons so that people can simply type in the quantity they want to buy?

E. Does the theme allow user to add a ‘category featured image or video’ above products display sections? For example below the ‘MEN’ title on the far left side on this page http://themes.laborator.co/aurum/fashion/product-category/men/

F. Is it possible to add external font (not google fonts), a font we purchased, into this theme? If so how can it be added and is it easy for a person with no programming skills to do?

I will appreciate a fast response.

Thank you!

Hi there,

thank you for your interest in our theme, I will answer your questions one by one.

A. This is easily achieved with the Visual Composer, you have to split it into columns and use the right elements.

B. Yes, it is possible – see screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0j1i1o1b3Y01

C. I don’t know if I understood you right but you can use the sale badge on internal and external products.

D. We can do this with a small modification by hiding the icons manually.

E. Are you talking about this: http://themes.laborator.co/aurum/fashion/shop/?show-shop-categories=true

F. Adding your own fonts requires a little more experience, you will need to modify some files in order to make it work.

Hope I was clear enough.

    'placeholder'   => __('Enter something'),
    ), $checkout->get_value( 'my_field_name' ));
echo ' ';

}

Thank U!

Hi Kirill

Please add this extra class to the array where you have my-field-class:

form-control and it will give you proper look to your checkout fields.


Arlind

Small display bug. On the the display results for a tag or a category (like this one: http://themes.laborator.co/aurum/fashion/product-category/accessories/), while viewing in Firefox on a Mac, the carat on the Sorting drop down is misaligned. It’s way too low.

Hi kernnywriter, thank you for reporting that, we will put that fix on the next Aurum update, if you fant to fix that now you can go to Custom CSS tab and paste the code below :)

@-moz-document url-prefix() {
    .shop .woocommerce-ordering .dropdown .caret {
        margin-top: -11px;
    }
}

Hi so I have a few questions. My theme sometimes repeats the products for some odd reason. Its like it showcases the same product over and over again? Also I know I have the slider plugin updated and activated. But It’s not showing up on my dash board? Is this a I need to update the theme problem or a another problem? I can’t create any sliders or edit any sliders because of this problem. Please let me know what my options are asap.

Thanks..

You have the option to backup your site on Theme Options, see the image below:

link of the image

By core the files, i mean if you have touched files inside theme, such as .php op .css files.

If not then you can update it without worry!

Kind Regards,
Ylli

Thank you I updated the site. The slider is still missing from my dash? I am unable to load any files to my slide ??

I just replied to your other ticket.

Kind Regards,
Ylli

Dissapointed.

We still have the same error. The products have a repeaated loop over and over again. This is very frustrating.

When are you going to fix this!

“Your theme has bundled outdated copies of WooCommerce template files. If you notice an issue on your site, this could be the reason. Please contact your theme developer for further assistance. You can review the System Status report for full details or learn more about WooCommerce Template Structure here.”

I am a bit of a newbie – how am I able to update the theme?

Hi

You must update the Aurum to the latest version, we have made it WooCommerce 2.3.x compatible.


Arlind

Hi Ylli, I started up the web. But when I try to buy, the buttons to continue shoping (below Your Order information ) disappear as you can see on the attached link. http://wandat-shirt.com/pantallazos/02.png

All I’ve done is to change the routing domain. I also updated the permalinks.

Can you help me with this because the store is now online. thank so much

nath

Hi Ylli, I don’t understand. I updated the theme last week! I bought the theme a couple of monts ago. So the WooCommerce can’t be so old.. I will updated all. Thank you

Hi Ylli. I have updated WooCommerce and it works. But in the Envato Tool Kit there is no information that your theme have to be updated (?). In another hand, can you look at this link? that’s the way I see the page everytime I go. http://wandat-shirt.com/pantallazos/03.png I have to reload to see real information that is http://wandat-shirt.com/boutique/?lang=fr Do you know why? Thank you for your help again.

Hi nathgar, i think that i replied this to another ticked of you earlier :)

Hi,

I have bought this great team and created a site for my client, but we encountered a strange bug on the success page.

The header and footer menu on this page do not show the normal menu titles, but all have the same words: the title from success page.

The menu still works, so you still go to the home and the different categories, but the text is wrong. Overwritten with the words ‘Order received’. This only happens on the succes page.

Please advise

Regards,

Wietske Smid

Hi Wietske Smid, can you please write us your site URL where this is happening, and we will check that.

Kind Regards,
Ylli

Hi Laborator. Wietske (my colleague) is talking about: http://studiosuz.nl/afrekenen/order-received/

Hi thordar, you are using old version of our theme (1.5.1, but the latest version is 2.1.1), and very new copy of Woocommerce, you need to update theme also to support Woocommerce 2.3.

We won’t be able to provide support for outdated versions.

We want you to experience the best we have to offer while keeping your site safe.

Staying updated is the way to do it!

Kind Regards,
Ylli

Hi Guys, I found a bug. I’m building a homepage and I want to have a products carousel and show the latest 3 posts, so I used the Post grid element. I like this styling very much.

But when using the Products carousel and the Posts Grid toegether on one page, the website breaks down and the carousel isnt shown and Post grid isn’t loading.

Console: Error: Permission denied to access property ‘toString’ <onbekend> Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: {‘status’:’Nothing found’}

Can you help me out?

Hi there,

you’re right, there seems to be a conflict between the two scripts, we will check what’s the problem with them and come with a solution in the next update.

Until then please use another type of posts.

Kind Regards,
Art

Aah I see, any idea when this will be fixed and the new update will be released? Would save me a lot of time.

Hi again,

the new update will be available in the last week of March, currently we’re releasing a new creative theme and don’t have too much time to work on this, as soon as it goes online we’ll start working on the bug fixes.

Kind Regards,
Art

Another question, sorry, I should have included this in the first message. I’d like to have the mobile and tablet view of a categories/tags results page to have two products per row, rather than one. I’m putting together a book site and making the book covers 100% is overkill.

I know I need to add a class “col-xs-6” to the div, but I don’t know where to find that template.

Thanks!

Hi kennywriter, please add the code below to Custom CSS

@media screen and (max-width: 782px) {
    body.post-type-archive-product .col-lg-3.col-md-3.col-sm-6 {
      width: 50% !important;
      float: left;
   }
}

i think that it will do the trick :)

Kind Regards,
Ylli

I see what you did there. Very clever! I had to change it a bit, but got it work (the body didn’t have the post-type-archive-product class, so I just went with body.archive, which may mess other stuff up; and the bootstrap class on that row was different).

Thanks!

Did you see my question above about product meta?

Great that you solved that :)

We are working part time support because unfortunately for the moment Arlind is sick and can not reply this question until next week.

I hope for your understanding :)

It would help us a lot if you could rate Aurum on themeforest from your Downloads tab, if you don’t know how just open this link :)

Kind Regards,
Ylli

I’m receiving this msg when i try to import demo content:

Failed to import pa_color Black Failed to import pa_color Blue Failed to import pa_color Green

Waiting for help! ;))

Hi there,

don’t worry about it, if the content has been imported then this is just a message that appears to everyone – it doesn’t affect the theme import.

Hello,

Just picked up this theme. So far, I think it’s really nice and clean. One question. I’m trying to figure out how to add the “Published on” date to the product meta. I’m using that to represent the date a book has been published, and I’d like it to be included along with Categories, Tags, and Product ID.

I located the PHP file (/aurum/woocommerce/single-product/meta.php), but I don’t know PHP! Could you supply me with the code I’d need to have it display something like. “ Published on: DATE ”?

Thanks!

Hmm,

this seems to be not a very easy issue to deal with, as our programmer is sick now and what I can help you is by giving you this tutorial to test it on your own:

http://gerhardpotgieter.com/2013/09/17/woocommerce-custom-product-fields/

The easiest way to do it would be by adding attributes and displaying the date in the Product Information Tab.

Kind Regards,
Art

Not quite what I’m looking for. It has nothing to do with woocommerce, actually. I did figure it out though, so will post my solution for anyone else looking to do this.

In this file: ~/aurum/woocommerce/single-product/meta.php

Find <?php do_action( 'woocommerce_product_meta_start' ); ?>

You’ll want to add the following code somewhere under there (depends on the order in which you want it listed. I put it after the “tags” line):

<span>Published: <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span> 

This will add a line to your produce page that’ll read: “Published: March 6, 2015” (or whatever date you published the product on). For other formats, check out this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_time

Hope that helps!

Hey,

sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks a lot for sharing your fix with us, it may help someone else who wants to implement this.

Best Regards,
Art
