Hi, if i know the basic word press knowledge can i set this up myself or i have to be a web a designer?

Hello, you can set up everything just as in the live theme demo in no time (following the steps of the included theme documentation), and you can customize all of the advertised basic stuff through your wordpress admin area in a handy theme options panel.

Despite of this, if you may stucked anywhere, feel free to ask for support, and i’ll do my best to help you through. Cheers, Erik

how much you charge to set up the site just like your own demo? After reading najma problems i don’t think i can get it done by myself.

I’m pretty sure about you will be able to do it on your own ;)

If you still hesitating, feel free to check the theme reviews, written by actual customers, who has already succeed with the install and the customization. Despite of this, if you really need me to setup everything for your site (wp install, basic setup and import demo contents), please contact me in email, and i’ll give you a symbolic quote for it.

Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik, Did you ever sort the Gumroad overlay issue out for scruffykells? I’m also using the overlay and have the same issue. Thanks!

Hi there, sorry the what? I’m afraid i don’t understand this question, please specify! Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik,

Three questions -

1 – When I add a custom section, it doesn’t display. I added a custom section to [link removed per author request] at the bottom, just to test it. You’ll see that it’s not displaying properly. Can you please let me know why?

2 – How can you add HTML content to a Custom Section? I only see options to choose the background color or image.

3 – How can I remove the start/stop link that is displaying just under the slider on the left side?

I emailed you my login/ftp info for another inquiry that I’ve resolved on my own. Feel free to use that info if you need to see what’s going on to resolve these questions. Thanks!

1.) To use the “Custom Section”, you need to create a new page first with the proper page template Dashboard > Pages > Add New … Next, go to theme options to create a new home section at Dashboard > Appearance > Theme Options > Home Sections

2.) You can add your html content at Dashboard > Pages > Custom Page .. (after you created a page for it (look step 1. above)

3.) Add this to your style.css file:
#slider-stopper { display: none; }

Okay, thanks for the details. Happy editing! Cheers, Erik

Hi, I was curious with this template, can I change the name of the headers/ tabs. For example, for the “Choose a Chapter” preview, could I change the text here to something like “Choose a section?” I want to confirm it is fully customizable before purchasing. Thank you!

Hello, sure ypu can customize almost everything through the built in theme options panel, and in some special cases if you need guidance or have a question regarding the usuage, you can contact me anytime with your request. Cheers, Erik

Hello Erik,

I love your template. My site is whatdidjesussay.org and I am having issues with it displaying for iphone 6. Is there anyway you can see the code as to why? Thank you in advance!

Hello, thanks for your purchase and kind words! Can you tell me more details about the issue you noticed? Which browser, where exactly etc. Cheers, Erik

HI Erik, I’ve having fun learning all about this. Beautiful, effective theme. Thank you for answering all the users questions. So many! My question is: I’ve embedded the Super Slim contact form from MailChimp. Works great. Except I’d like to use the Classic signup form because it asks for First & Last names and that helps emails dodge spam filters when tagged. When I cut/pasted that link, the Flatbook form didn’t change to include the two new fields. Thoughts?

Thanks for the great customer support. -Chris

Hi Chris, thanks for your purchase and the glowing appreciations regarding my efforts about item support! :)

Can you show me a link to your site, where the extra fields don’t show up? I think it can be easily fixed with some additional css. Cheers, Erik

vangoghinpeppers.com You’re awesome. Let me know if you need admin. I’m cool with that.

Wow, nice site Chris, i just love it! :) The problem is that you were trying to add the custom mailchimp input fields into the flatbook subscribe form directly. For simplicity purposes in mind, the “Mailchimp unique link” field in the theme options panel only accepts super slim form generated links to avoid complications.

To handle this issue, i would suggest to create your mailchimp subscribe form just as it is in the documentation (using super slim form etc.), and create an individual page, where the rest of your additional extra fields take place…

So basically, the subscription will look like this: 1.) user enters email address and hit the “subscribe now” button 2.) after validation, the user will be redirected to another (mailchimp generated) page, where asked to add a few more details (first & last name fields in your case)

Cheers, Erik

Hi ! I have an issue with the search form using wpml: on default language work fine, btw, using another language the form redirect to current language homepage without results ! Can you please help ?

I am working on the client site with the latest version of the theme purchased here. Thanks Alex

It seem you answer only to direct purchased client !!

Hi, just replied to your other thread. Cheers, Erik

Considering this theme for my ebook. Is it compatible with software version 4.1.1?

Hello, yes it is compatible with the latest wp version. Cheers, Erik

Erik, Can you send demo 2 files to my developer? He posted this earlier… his user is mpachler… Please and thank you!

“Can you send me the demo 2 content?... I am working with a client site and he preferred this layout etc… but when i installed them only got the demo 1 content etc… thanks! Mike”

thanks!

Hello! Sure, thanks for your purchase and clarification. I just texted your developer that he needs to contact me via email – as i don’t know his email address where i could send the requested files. Cheers, Erik

Hi Eric,

The custom post menu items aren’t appearing in my Wordpress menu. This seems to happen after I changed to using a child theme. I know in a previous message that you’re not a big fan of using child themes. However, at least right now, I’d like to stick w/the child theme, as my product is tax related and it’s peak tax season, so I don’t want to risk screwing anything up right now :) Please advise on what I can do to get the custom posts to show. I just had an explainer video created that I’d like to upload ASAP! Thanks…Chris

Thanks, just emailed you the access info.

Just sorted out the problem on my own, no need to reply.

Great than, thanks for your notice! ;) Cheers, Erik

This has to be the best theme I have used for 2 reasons. Firstly, it looks amazing and secondly it has a very clear template and instructions!!

Nice one mate.

Hey there! Thanks for your purchase and glowing feedback, i’m happy that you are satisfied with the theme! Happy editing! :) Cheers, Erik

Can you send me the demo 2 content?... I am working with a client site and he preferred this layout etc… but when i installed them only got the demo 1 content etc… thanks! Mike

Hi Mike, please drop me an email with this request via my themeforest profile’s contact form here. Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik, I have a question.

1. I have a client that is interested in having 4 images and each image is the entire width of the slider’s width. I was not able to do that in this theme. Is that possible to do? If not, I was planning to try another slider via plugin. Would this theme support a slider plugin?

Erik, if you’re able to comment, is the page.php a good place to start?

The only reason I am trying this is because of a Client’s request, so I’m giving it a try.

Not exactly.. If you are looking for the slider, you can start with slider.php i guess :) Make sure that u saved a backup before editing. Good luck! ;) Cheers, Erik

Hi Eric,

Quick question, how do I change the title “The Blog” that appears on each blog post? I was able to do it for the page that lists all the blog posts, based on your earlier feedback, however that didn’t update the individual posts.

Thanks!

Chris

Hello Chris and thanks for your purchase! You can edit it manually, in your index.php file (within your theme files) on line 4.

Happy editing! Cheers, Erik

Thx, did that. The headline updated on the page that lists the posts, however not on the individual posts. Please advise!

Your welcome. You can do the same method in “single.php” file (the name refers to “single posts”). Cheers, Erik

HI

I just bought your theme.

I installed the thme, but it didnt appear like the preview.

Do i need to know code , to make the theme similar to a sales page like in the preview?

There is any plugins?

Hello and thanks for your purchase!

No, you don’t need any experience with coding in a basic level of customization (you can do it from your wordpress admin dashboard) and you don’t need any additional third party plugins (instead of the included ones with the theme) to achieve the same layout as in the live theme demo.

If you go through the included documentation carefully step-by-step in order, i’m pretty sure that you will be able to install, set up and customize your site properly.

Here is the getting started instructions from the theme docs.

Happy customizing! :) Cheers, Erik

Is it possible to add commas or dollar signs to the counter numbers?

I found the previous thread comments about the ’$’ sign so I’ll get to work on those, but what about adding commas so the numbers display as $40,000 instead of $40000

Hello and thanks for your purchase!

I did some research in the options of the counter plugin, and found that $40.000 would be possible without messing up the scripts – i mean a dot character is possible instead of the comma as requested.

Let me know if you need the instructions and i will guide you through the steps. Cheers, Erik

Hey Erik, Really love this template! One quick question (I have searched the comments but haven’t been able to find a direct answer): I would like to include the social media icons currently in the footer of the site, to the far right side of the header. My site is [Mod: Link Removed] Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Thanks for your purchase, i’m happy that you like it ;)

Sorry for the late answer, i noticed that you have already found a solution for featuring the social network icons in a right tab plugin.

If you still would like to duplicate the footer social icons into the header, you can find the proper commented code in your footer.php file (you can just copy-paste it) – however it may can cause some alignment issues in the header – so i think you should stick with the plugin if you find it handy.

Happy editing! Cheers, Erik

Does it work with WooCommerce ?

Hello, the theme is not woocommerce ready, Flatbook is a onepage landing page theme for advertising purposes – not an entire ebook webstore theme. Cheers, Erik

Hello Erik, again awesome theme!

Need to know how to remove the header titles in new pages, for example the Blog page, I want it to start with the posts list and remove the Page Title. Thanks!

Hello & thanks for your purchase, glad you like it! To remove the page title on new pages, open up page.php file within your theme files, and delete or comment out line 11-19. Cheers, Erik

Hi Erik, awesome theme…

My issue: when I add a third or more Sliders, they appear below the slider area of the second slider, instead of appearing on a third slider…

What do you need to help me fix this?

Sorry for the late reply, i just checked your site and i see only two different slides rotating at the moment, what functions just fine as expected..

Maybe your first slider image (the pie chart graphic) is larger than the optional image size recommended in the docs (450×460px) for images in the slider, but i guess you did it with purpose, right?

Cheers, Erik

If I add a 3rd slide it will mess the 3rd one up… Can I send you a user to check this out? I don’t want to have the 3rd slide hanging there untill you check it. Thanks!

Sure, you can send it via my themeforest profile’s contact form here. Cheers, Erik
