What file would i edit to make hyperlinks underlined? when i post a link in my content, the link isn’t underlined, and i would like it to be. But i do not want the links in my sidebar or widgets underlined…please tell me what to change. thanks

Hi

You can do this via Theme Options / General / Additional CSS:

.entry-content a{text-decoration:underline;}

This should do the trick ;)

Hi,

I thought to drop a short comment to thank you immensely for developing the Voice theme. I switched over to it blindly after using another theme (which is great in itself) but Voice definitely suits the purpose better and with slicker results. I also really like the extent of its customisation.

On the latter note – I notice that when you change the navigation accent colour in the theme options, the colour within the default site logo changes too. Is there a way in the theme to do that if you upload your own logo? Or is there a specific way to design a custom logo so that it picks up the site’s overall accent colour? Any advice will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

You can target logo color via Additional CSS that you can add via Theme Options / General / Additional CSS filed.

I hope that this will help

Is it possible – using stuff from the sidebar (widgets) on page? perhaps in html / text module.

Still love the theme :) Where is the forum?

Hi

You need to install bbPress plugin in order to have forum. Currently it is not possible to add widgets inside of module content.

Hope that this helps

I need to add the language selector (WPLM) beside the search. Code: <?php do_action(‘icl_language_selector’); ?>

Can you help me with this?

Thank you!

Looking forward to hear from you. :)

Amazing theme! Quick question: How can I set the character length of the post preview?

Thanks :)

Hi,

Length of the post excerpts (post preview text) can be controlled inside the Theme Options -> Post Layouts. Here you can adjust the values for posts experts for desired Layout combinations and event enable of disable them if needed.

I hope this was helpful, if you have any other issues, feel free to contact our dedicated support at support@mekshq.com

Great theme! I have an issue that popped up this week.When adding new users after updating their profile they would disappear from the dropdown.and search. I traced this back to a plugin, Simple Local Avatars. When I removed it the users all reappeared however the author images no longer show up in the authors box or authors image at the top of the page. When I go to add an avatar or image in the user profile, that option (upload image) no longer shows up and the result is that all author images are now blank. The profile info shows up, but no image. I have updated Wordpress and the theme. Deactivated all other plugins and the issue still persists. Thanks for any help you can provide.

PROBLEM SOLVED – Installed WP Avatar and problem is solved.

Cool :)

Let us know if you need some more help with something

Do not know how to do. Help :( Thank you.

Hi

This would require some custom work since this is page widget that you need to modify. You can contact us to support@mekshq.com and we will try to help you out.

Thank you

Hey Meks,

I’m having the same issue as fbengo regarding custom/html modules:

fbengo: The html/text module doesn’t work on my site. Do you guys know if this is a known bug? All other modules become invisible after adding a html/text module…

Was there a bug with this that was rectified after fbengo raised the issue?

Many thanks.

Hi,

It is reported but we have not been able to reproduce it. Seems like it is related to specific type of content in html/text module. Can you please contact us to support@mekshq.com with your website URL and explain us in more details how to reproduce the issue? It is highly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hello,

The error is whenever I add the module in the first place, even just adding one single word then the rest of the pages content disappears. So I don’t think it’s content specific.

I have just sent an email with my website and your temporary login details.

If you go to the “Schedule’s” page, you’ll see what I mean.

Many thanks

Hello,

Today I uploaded a video post with a YouTube video, but the player doesn’t suit the theme very well. Their is a top bar on the video before start and it looks like its more strechted than the theme allows it.

Another thing is, the video post on the homepage slider is with a blank image.

Can you tell me what is the problem.

For slider, you need to set featured image for that post and it will be displayed.

Regarding video, please contact us to support@mekshq.com with video example and we will have a closer look.

Cheers!

Hi there,

Thank you for your beautiful works and great services.

I need a plugin for ‘email subscription list’, what plugin would you suggest for Voice theme?

How can I put social icons at the very top of my blog as shown on the Voice preview?

I’ve put more than a post with different categories inside one module, is there any way to show the top line colour of each category inside one module?

Thank you again and hope to deal with you in the future.

There are plenty of newsletter plugins which you may use. It really depends of newsletter service you are using. Personally, we prefer Mailchmp for WordPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/

Regarding social icons, you just need to create a menu with custom links to your social profiles and theme will automatically detect links and convert it into icons. It is described here: http://demo.mekshq.com/voice/documentation/#menu

And the last, adding multiple colors to module has some technical limitations and it’s not possible at the moment.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,

I got a alert message from Themeforest about the XSS (http://marketblog.envato.com/news/wordpress-item-security-vulnerability) vulnerability. Are you guys aware of this vulnerability and is this theme (including Meks plugins) vulnerable?

Hi,

Yes, we are aware of it. It’s rarely possible that our themes are vulnerable but we will for sure follow Envato guidelines and prepare updates in a couple of days, don’t worry ;)

Ok, good to know ;)

Guys this might be a stupid question.. But how do I change the main layout of the site?

Have you checked the theme documentation? Basically, everything is explained there: http://demo.mekshq.com/voice/documentation/

If you have any specific issues please contact us to http://mekshq.com/contact with your website URL and we would be glad to have a look and help you out.

Cheers!

Hello

We just re-launched our site on Voice at http://www.professorshouse.com/ and am pretty happy with the results.

I do have a couple issues I was wondering if you could advise us on.

1. I would like to add the “Title” of the post for the Alt Tag and Title Tag of featured image. I have tried a couple plugins that add this to images within an article, but not the ‘featured image. I found a post that says need to update the the_post_thumbnail() to the following… but can’t find that code to edit.

$title=get_the_title(); the_post_thumbnail( array(150, 150),array( ‘alt’ =>$title) );

Could you provide some input on this? As we have about 3,000 articles… updating the alt/title tags for each image would be a lot of work.

2. Is it possible to add modulus to pages like http://www.professorshouse.com/family/ as it contains 5 different categories. Currently we have “Family” as a category.. .and babies, children, adoption, education, pregnancy as sub categories of Family. If I make “Family” a “page”.. it screws up my URL structure as I can’t make categories a parent of a page.

David

Hi David,

Nice website! And, thanks for your words!

1. Try this filter hook, I can’t promise but I hope it will work. You can add it in functions.php


function meks_post_thumbnail_alt_change($html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr){

    $html = preg_replace('/(alt=")(.*?)(")/i', '$1'.esc_attr(get_the_title()).'$3', $html);
    return $html;

}

add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', 'meks_post_thumbnail_alt_change', 10, 5);

2. Unfortunately, it is not possible since WordPress has its own technical limitations and creating a module builder in category is really hard to achieve. However, we will think about improvements there so you may have an option to automatically choose to display child categories on category template.

Hope this helps!

Best regards

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with code to add alt tags to our images globally, it worked like a charm.

As for adding the ability to display child categories on a category template that would be so helpful. Right now our hands are kind of tied when it comes to showing additional sections within a category.

Hi there, just purchased the theme. In theme potions -> post layouts, I can’t edit anything. Please let me know. There’s only a display of different layouts.

Thanks. It looks like your theme has conflict with Redux Framework plugin.

Just for curiosity, why you are using Redux Framework plugin?

Our theme also uses redux framework for theme options and maybe it’s a problem with different versions. We will investigate this…

I am not sure. Th e plugin could be from a previous theme. We just recently replaced that with your theme.

Hi there,

I have one pre-sale question. In any of the category templates from this theme – Is it possible to show full content of starter post ? By full content I don’t meant excerpt. I meant showing the regular post content for first post and then choosing a category template for remaining posts.

Thanks!! Hanish Arora

Hi Hanish,

Unfortunately it is not possible at the moment. All the layouts are showing excerpt. But it really make sense what you are trying to do so we will consider adding option in Layout A (big posts) to choose whether you want to display excerpt or content. Hopefully, it will be done in the next update.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Cheers!

Gr8..I really appreciate that. In that case I would be your first customer for the next release.

Thanks!! Hanish Arora

Do you have instructions available for upgrading or re-installing theme? I don’t want to lose current settings, etc. Thx.

Sure, please see this topic in documentation: http://demo.mekshq.com/voice/documentation/#installation

Hope this helps! :)

Hey Meks Team. I just noticed something wasn’t working right on my website. www.cigarmemoir.com

When you got to the website on Chrome on Android phones front page won’t load sometimes unless you have the “show desktop version” clicked otherwise it will just load a blank white page. If you go into other pages the same thing is happening unless you click the “show desktop version” in the options on good chrome for android phones. I am worried I am losing a big chunk my traffic due to this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have just checked your website on iPhone 5 and it loads normally. Can you please give us some guidelines how we can reproduce the problem?

We don’t have any switching from desktop to mobile inside the theme code so that’s why I suspect that it is caused by a plugin. I know that JetPack has this option but maybe there is some other plugin which does the same thing.

Keep me posted.

Cheers!

Yeah I have not had the issue on iphone. I’ve only been able to re-create it on Google Chrome Browser on Android.

Can you please contact our support via http://mekshq.com/contact and we will try to investigate?

Best

Hi.. am loooking forward to buy this theme … just wanted to lnow one thing is it possible to make some changes for thumbnails size. .I know there are options to change thumbnail size but I want custom size

Image sizes are cropped automatically to fit each of layouts. You will need to do some coding to change it. Can you please explain what you would like to do?

Hi,

I have a feature suggestion for the Module settings. It would be great if you couldn’t only make custom modules appear in one or two columns, but also in three columns (so with 1/3 width). Could you integrate this in a future update?

Best Regards,

Finn

PS: I really love your theme and I am very glad that I have found it! ;)

Please contact us to http://mekshq.com/contact with your website URL and we will have a closer look and help you out.

Cheers!

Just wanted to let you know that the update to 1.3.2 resolved the issue. Thanks!

Great to hear! :)

I think to buy this theme but I have a dude … Is it possible to add a slider (home page) without post ? To create a slider with a plugin ? I need to create slider with my own images. If it is possible, can you say how ? or compatible plugins? Thanks ! :) PD: I hope you understand me, sorry but my english.

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. Check this example: http://demo.mekshq.com/voice/?page_id=517

Basically, in the area where it says “Publishing made easy!” you can use any custom content, so for example you can use a slider shortcode from any custom plugin.

Hope this helps, if you have any further questions just let us know.

Cheers!

Thanks ! I didn’t see :)
