Hello, first of all thanks for the Soluto Theme, its awesome super ease to customize even for noob like me and it delivers exact what I needed to achive :) I have only two small problems. One is with the contact form, everything is in english (Name, Email adress etc.) and I dont know how to change. And second is with slider. Is it possible to change the slider height? The default heigh is too big and even if I mage smaller photo the slider stretch it. Thank you and keep up the good work.

nice theme, RTL support? Visitors front-end listing submission?

Unfortunetly we don’t offer RTL support on any of our themes. Also, there is no front-end listing submission. Everything is managed by WordPress. If you wanted a front-end posting feature, you would easily add this via a number of plugins available on wordpress.org.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

hi,

i just found your theme and the design is gorgeous. i noticed the demo is setup for only 1 listing. is it possible to have a list/grid of all the properties on the homepage then individual pages for the different properties…

this would be a website for one real estate agent.

thank you!

This theme is perfect for featuring a single property. If you wanted to list multiple properties, you would want to use a theme like our Freehold theme: http://themeforest.net/item/freehold-responsive-real-estate-theme/3037086

Let me know if you have any other questions.

hi,

thanks for your reply. i just looked at freehold and i think it looks a bit outdated compared to solus. i also notice you didn’t release an update since march 2014, over a year ago. when do you plan to update it with a cleaner – more minimal flat design like solus? that’s what i’m looking for.

thanks

Unfortunetly we don’t have any plans of updating our Freehold design to match Solus. Each are designed to be unique and they have no relation to each other. Note: Our updates are normally for feature additions, bug-fixes, and to ensure the theme works with the latest version of WordPress. Freehold is pretty bullet-proof and is running on over 1500 sties. We haven’t had a reason to update it. We don’t build trendy themes.

Hi! In your demo you have the ‘slider-float-text’ where you can insert extra information. My question is if you can have a different slider-float for each slider, because in your demo is always the same. Is that possible?

Thank you so much! :)

You need to confirm you account before posting in the forums. If you have not received the confirmation e-mail, don’t worry. Just let me know your username in the forums and I can manually approve your account.

Note: You will need to re-add the image to see the updated image size.

Yes! I re-add the first image (only the first) to see the changes. I have to re-add ALL the images?

This is my user: florenciaballesteros

I have manually approved your support forum account. You can now post in the forums :-)

Note: You don’t have to re-add all the images. Just the slider ones. If you have a bunch, you can use a plugin like this one to automatically resize the images for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/

Hi! Is any way that the Homepage Slider have an autoplay?

Perfect!! Thanks :D

I have one more question, the site is responsive?

Yeah, this theme is responsive. It will work on any device.

Perfect. Thank you so much!

Hello friends, I do need to know how to add a favorite icon, but do not know how. favicon.ico I’m waiting.

Thank U!

We can help you out in our support forums. Go ahead and post any questions in the forums: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Note: You can drop the favicon in the main folder of your website. You don’t need to edit any code.

Is it possible to work with another property listing platform to feed the listings such as Realty MX (http://realtymx.com/)?

Unfortunetly this does not work with a plugin like realtime.com. It looks like that is for multiple properties in order to manage and not a single property theme like this one.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great theme! But I can seem to find the place where you update the box that overlays the slider images at the top of the screen. The box with the address, cost and details.

Nevermind…found it…it’s on the home page template page.

Glad you got it all sorted out. If you have any other questions, feel free to post in our support forums. We are happy to help: http://support.progressionstudios.com

Great theme. Would I be able to replace the video tour with a virtual 360 tour?

Yeah that would be no problem. You would just need to have embed code from the virtual tour software you are using. You can paste that onto the page and you would be good to go.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have been able to set everything up exactly as your demo, but I can not get the main header photo to show. Any idea what it might be? I deleted the files that said “Sample” on them and want to upload a photo of a house. I am having no luck at all.

Go ahead and jump onto our support forums and post a link to your website. We will check it out and let you know what is going on: http://support.progressionstudios.com

I liked this theme until I looked at the demo site on a phone. The photo slider at the top isn’t very useful since the menu is in the middle of the photo. Then on the property gallery, clicking a photo results in a small picture being displayed. As an experienced user, I know the picture can be expanded but even that is clunky and does not stick. For the purpose of this theme, mobile is a large audience for me. I was almost ready to buy until I checked it on my phone. I hope this feedback is useful for you. I really like the theme on a desktop.

Yeah, here are some quick answers.

1) The slider at the top does indeed have an overlay of the logo and menu. If you wanted the gallery to display below the logo and navigation so it isn’t covered, that would be super easy. It would be just a matter of one line of CSS. If you needed help with this, we would be able to help you in our support forums at no charge.

2) The property gallery is just a WordPress Plugin. If you wanted to use a different lightbox plugin, that is easy to change. There are tons of other lightbox options on WordPress.org and Codecanyon.net. Since we use the built-in WordPress Gallery, any lightbox plugin will work. We are personally huge fans of prettyPhoto so we use this one. There are also some work-around to force prettyPhoto to maximum width/height on mobile like this one: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-too-small-when-viewing-on-phone

Let me know if you have any other questions.

How do you add a different slider aside from the home page slider on the dummy content. I see the video on how to add slides, but no video on how to create multiple sliders.

Is it possible to see the back end of the theme? I want to see how easy it is to update it.

Yeah, this theme is extremely easy to manage. Feel free to send me an e-mail via my profile page contact form. I can provide you with the documentation which includes videos showing the backend: http://themeforest.net/user/ProgressionStudios#from

Great theme! How many widgets are there on the main page? I have one property to list but there are three structures that my client wants listed in three different sections. Would it be possible to show three different gallery widgets on the main page?

Thanks!

Yeah, you can easily add captions to the pop-ups from the image galleries.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks again for your reply. I bought the theme last night and it’s been really easy to implement. However, I’m noticing that the prettyphoto plugin is pulling the full-size image for the thumbnails in the galleries which slows down the load time of the site dramatically. Is there a way to change this that I’m overlooking? Thanks again!

Yeah, there are a few ways to adjust this. The easiest way is to resize the the maximum image size. You can do so easily using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/imsanity/

Hello, great job i d like to know if is possible instead buy rent the house. I mean add a button to choose on a calendar the time reservation and then pay using paypall? Are there some compatible book calendar plugin i can use? Thank you!

Yeah, you can use just about any calendar plugin with our theme. I highly recommend this one if you want booking along with payment options: http://codecanyon.net/item/booking-system-pro-wordpress-plugin/2675936 . There are also a number of others plugins with this functionality on CodeCanyon.net.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi!

Will we be able to create more pages to include more information of the property? Like detailed pages, with text and images information for visitors?

Yeah, you can create as many or as few pages as you need. Creating additional pages is super easy with WordPress. You also have full control over the navigation menu to add/remove pages as needed.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok, that should be great. because the live preview at the moment does not have much pages on the description etc, so i just needed an answer to that because the website i want to create will require me to display a lot of information! Thank you!

Check out the drop-down under “Gallery”. We have a few page examples that have maps, videos, and shortcodes to demo how to build additional pages.

I like this theme. Great design! I have two questions.

My first question, I know this is a single listing theme, do you have a theme with this design for multiple listings (not IDX) but for an agent website with multiple in-house listings?

Second question. Does the gallery have navigation? The demo does not allow you to navigate through the pictures with a left/right arrow navigation. One must x out and the open the next image manually.

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions!

1) The only other real estate theme we have is Freehold: http://themeforest.net/item/freehold-responsive-real-estate-theme/3037086

2) Yeah that is just a simple setting for the lightbox pop-up. I have adjusted that so it now shows next/previous links between the gallery images.

Hello friend , I have a doubt about the template . I can create image galleries ? For example : Can I put 5 kitchen pictures ?

I look forward this information to buy the theme .

Thank U!

Ps . I’m using google translator , sorry for errors …

Yeah, you can add as many photos as you need. Adding 5 kitchen photos should be no problem.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great! I’ll buy the theme!

Hi! I’ve to sell one property and I love this template! Just a question? How do I have to do to translate to any language easily? Using WPML plugin or this template includes any special plugin for it?

Thanks!

Yeah, you can easily translate this theme into any one language. If you wanted multiple languages, you could use a plugin like WPML or PolyLang.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great! Thanks!

I like this theme!

Is there a guide to make it look just like the demo version?

Awesome! Thank you very much! Great theme and I love all of the different options (still have not sunk my teeth into it all yet) there are!

You were not kidding! took all of 5 minutes

:-) Thanks for the great review. Glad you are enjoying working with our theme.
