Hi there, how can I delete that effect in header background image, that cause that this image is always a bit darker and white is not white, but grey?
Thank you for your time! 
There is an overlay class on the background image which applies a darkened colour using the “before” attribute. Find the appropriate CSS for the section you are using and change the opacity to 0. Any further questions please open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com.
Cheers, James
Hi guys!
Thanks for awesome product!
You made my life much easier 
1. Do you plan to make WP Layers version of Pivot theme? (if yes, when?)
2. How can I tweak one page scroll section position? Now when I click nav link of particular section it does not position properly – basically it should scroll the section just under the nav div however, I get a small gap where the previous section is still visible. (it does not look good especially on mobile devices)
Thanks!
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing, glad you’re enjoying it 
1. No, we didn’t create the WP version of Pivot – that’s a question for TommusRhodus
2. You can adjust the offset for the smooth scroll at the top of scripts.js 
Thanks!
I purchased Pivot and I really like. Congratulations.
1) for proceed with new filters, such as the filter “Project Planner” and “Register Header”, i have to buy both Machine + Meetup, or I can buy only two filters? You can create a custom package? !!!
2) I can import on Pivot new filters, for work on a single Builder?
Thanks and waiting for response for the purchase.
Sorry but it is not possible to take blocks from one template and import to another. This is due to CSS being quite different between both templates.
James
Thanks and congratulations again. Nicola
Amazing work.
Can you please let me know if there is a way to combine two of your templates?
I want to use sections from Pivot and Launchkit to create my final site.
Cheers, Will
Hi,
Sorry but this is not an option as the CSS for each template is structured very differently. You cannot use parts of one template in another.

1. I read the pivot and variant documentation, but there is no where it mentioned where to edit the Google map address for starting location.
2. Also, how to move the contact form boxes to different locations on the screen, as it hard to be moved, is there specific one, like the contact image, which is easier to move around?
3. On the Contact Image, I tried to remove/delete the social media icons and bar under it completely, so I can move the contact form to the bottom, but its not working. Even I deleted the icons one by one, and text inside the bar, but could not delete the boxes of them. How can this be done.
4. Some images do not fit on the screen, do I have to resize them first before adding them as background, and what will happen on the responsive browsing after resizing
5. How can I edit the contact form to make it send the messages to specific email, as I am using Google, Based on your documentation, u asked to enter the password, is this safe?

Replied on ticket. James
What form components are supported? Is everything in Bootstrap well inherited in the design? The DEMO does not show details on all bootstrap components like different form elements. Can you show a demo with more form components than the basic contact form that only basic elements like textboxes and a submit button?
Thanks
Hi, only what you see in the demo is what has been impemented in Pivot’s design. James
After using this for a few days the learning curve is low once you forget that this isn’t a CMS and doesn’t save to a db. It feels like one until you lose everything… (my fault for forgetting its static) But do you guys have a way to generate and set one ‘simple bar’ that you can clone for all pages?
Also, it’d be good to have the psd files to edit. This would make a very cool CMS. Congrats on making such a great light weight script. You are talented.
Hi, and thanks for your comments 
You may need to export all to a .variant file (for re-importing later) next time you have done a load of work. That way everything will be safely stowed for when the browser storage gets inadvertently erased.
I have a fix for the menu problem you mentioned – please open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com and I’ll provide the script.
We do have some PSDs (incomplete) so we can give you the link with your ticket on ticksy.

Ticket replied 
I submitted a new ticket.
I’m sorry, did your ticket get answered yet? Can you specify ticket id?
Nope, but my problems went from small to big. I ask someone to tweak and he hacked in a solution. What was supposed to be 20 min fix turned into hours and not looking good. Also, that nav bar script you implemented for me, causes other issues. I will open a ticket now because this guy isn’t getting it corrected.
Hi, My developer said if i added any custom work to the theme, i wont be able to use the builder any more to modify or edit the builded page, how can I add custom work and still be able to use the builder to edit the pae in the future.
Custom work are: portfolio tabs like this http://skillful.fuelthemes.net/ajax-4-columns-no-header/# and typing text on the slider like this http://www.google.com/forms/about/Hey there,
You could add your own custom sections into the builder by opening builder.html and duplicating the existing block, then modifying the name etc. we don’t provide detailed support to do this, however your developer should be able to assist you.
Best,
Craig
Thats what my developer said:
There is no way, if you know a little or any of your other developer is on working on pivot ask them after if you export .html file you cant make it .variant file while changing in pivot editor require .variant extension.
Yes, you would need to make this change in the builder.html file to see the change inside the builder. The intention is that you assemble your page, then export as HTML and .variant and if you’d like changes made to the blocks in Variant, you’d need to edit them in builder.html
sorry, he said that if he will do custom work to the pivot theme, there is no way to to make the file again as .variant after he export it to html. so how can e bring it back to .variant to allow the admin edit the changes within pivot builder, and not as html code
That is correct, and this is not the intention of Variant. We intend for Variant to produce a page after editing content, and for any customising to be done afterwards. Variant does not support importing customised pages back in (not in .html files)
If you want customisations to be available in the builder, you need your developer to edit the builder.html file before making the pages.
James
hey guys, need PSD for this pages could you please send it to reinafiguracion@gmail.com. thanks!
do you have git repo for your updates?
Hey there,
I’ve sent you an email with the PSD link
and no we don’t have a GIT repo.
If using the countdown landing page, what is the best way to use mail chimp to accept subscriptions? SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. But when replacing img it doesn’t show after you upload to /img directory. Red square says click to refresh but still doesn’t work. Is this due to size?
Hello, Are you using Variant on your local machine or running it from your server? If you are running on your local machine, the image needs to be put in your /img folder where you are running Variant. James
I did put in /img directory on server. I even overwrote the default logo but it doesn’t show. Clicking red box to refresh doesn’t do anything after uploading to directory.
Sorry, but Variant is not designed to be run online so you should try this again locally, then export your html page and upload it.

Hi I was having a difficulty with the social bar
Could you help me just leave the facebook and twitter links and have them each occupy 50% of the screen width and get rid of dribble and tumblr?
How cna I do it?
nevermind I fixed it. But I have another issue – the countdown looks cluttered on mobile – and numbers get overlayed on top of each other – how can I fix this?
Please open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com where we will be able to support you with code snippets to achieve this. James
Thanks for your amazing work, we just got our first super awesome recruiting page online. I noticed that there is ” smooth scrolling” js inside the codes, can you tell me how to active this feature?
many thanks in advance.
Stanley
reference page?http://www.greenvines.com.tw/internship.html
The smoothscroll code you see relates to in-page scrolling between links on the menu. This is used when you edit the name of a section in Variant. After you edit a section name, you have the option to link to that section within the page. Smoothscroll provides the animation to that point on the page.
Will this work on tumblr?
Hi there,
This is HTML only so there’s nothing built-in for Tumblr
I understand. If I export html will it work on tumblr or will I need to host on my own server. I am trying to move away from wordpress.
Ah right, I’m sorry but I’m really not au faix with how tumblr code / markup works so I can’t give you a definite answer.
Very disappointed experience. I have 2.02 installed and worked a whole day and night to get a website finished, saved and guess what….the next morning ‘no saved pages found’!!!! Lost all the content as well.
Is there a way to retrieve the pages or at least anything? This is a very expensive and frustrated experience so far….
Sorry to hear you lost all your pages! Variant stores data in ‘browser storage’ which, depending on your settings, may be deliberately erased (along with cookies etc.) upon exiting the browser. Can you confirm if this is the case? There is an option to export all pages and content to a .variant file for safekeeping at any time. This can be reimported later if your browser deletes the storage. Once again I’m sorry you have had a frustrating experience, but I’m afraid if you did not export to a .variant file, the pages are lost.

Where can I buy the photography used in the demo? Specifically this one http://pivot.mediumra.re/img/hero5.jpg
Hey there,
You can get that one at shutterstock 
Can i make pages as i want? Or apply for a single domain name. So i can do as i want?
Hi there,
I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking here. With the download you can build HTML pages using the builder and then upload them to your own existing hosting, there is no domain name or hosting included with the template.
Best, Craig
I have a really silly question. For the super basic user > ME < what is the easiest quickest way to install this and use? I am used to using wordpress or squarespace. Appreciate the quick “For Dummies” as I do want to purchase the product.
Also, do any modules accept custom HTML (i.e. an iframe code).
Thanks Aaron
Hey Aaron,
Thanks for purchasing Pivot!
To run the builder, just open up builder.html from the variant folder in the download package. Then you can begin building pages using the builder.
Currently the modules don’t accept iframe code – this would be something you’d need to in pure HTML once you’ve built the page.
Best, Craig
Hello Medium Rare. I bought your theme and I have a question. I realised you use a lot of h1 tags. I could generate my website thanks to the site builder your provided. My main h1 is the one located in the header tag but it seems that Google detect only the h1 from the footer section.
Can you help me? Thanks!
PS: I love your theme
BR
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the template.
That’s odd given the headers use the ‘header’ tag, Google should usually understand this structure. Try changing the h1 from the footer to a h2.
Hello!
1. So when I purchase this theme, I get the Builder too? 2. What’s the exported HTML/CSS like? Do you have a custom framework with custom classes and ids? Or do you build on top of Bootstrap? I’m looking for something that exports clean, readable and clutter-free HTML and CSS. Thanks!
Hello,
1. Yes you get the builder with the purchase
2. The exported code has no inline styles or ‘junk’ classes and is based on bootstrap – it exports plain ol’ HTML 
Hi, How do I change the white background to none for the “Centered Logo” navigation style, similar to the “Top Nav” navigation style
hey there,
You can place this one in your custom.css to disable background on the nav: nav{ background: none !important; }
What I mean when the navigation is at top it is transparent, when scroll down the sticky menu that takes over remain slight transparent
