Hello, I am having issues with the ” video post ” loading on mobile, you will see it as the first post on ” video ” format one the home page on desktop, but when I open it on mobile it doesn’t work, how can I make it work? Domain: https://buenavistae.com/

Hi,

Video backgrounds are not available on mobile devices by default (tablets and phones), this is a note as a best practice in web development.

And when you use a YouTube or Vimeo video, it is not possible to autoplay the video background on mobile. These services do not support this.

Therefore, we recommend that you set a featured image for this post so that it will appear on mobile instead of a black void where the video background cannot be displayed. Thank you.

Hello! I have three presale questions.

1. Header: Is it possible to make the header transparent? Similar to the Eaven theme?

2. Fullwidth feature area: It looks like the Perspective 2 demo has a fullwidth feature area similar to Eaven. Is it possible to place text over this image?

3. Search: Can the search area be edited to remove the “Browse categories,” Browse Tags,” etc? I’d really like to have the simple search box similar to Eaven.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our theme – Alpaca. Please see the details below:

1. The theme doesn’t provide an option to make the site header transparent. But it can be changed by adding some custom CSS code. If you need assistance, please contact our support team to have our technical support specialists assist you.

2. Yes, it is possible to place text over the fullwidth background image.

3. Yes, these shortcuts can be removed from the search screen by turning off certain theme options.

Best regards,

Great! Thank you for your reply. I’m going to purchase and then I’ll reach out to support for the custom CSS. Love your themes!

Thank you for your kind words.

Morning, Pre-Sale

Is it possible to have the logo and the main menu on the left, I see on the demo it’s mainly the logo in the centre and the main menu on the left.

Some pages load on Ajax some don’t, was this a deliberate setting, can the whole site run on Ajax?

Are you open to customization, for example on the top right, I would like to have a profile login/logout icon next to the cart icon

What design platform are you using for layout, in case I want to drag and put things as and how I wish, is it just a customizer?

Can I mix things, like take a design from PERSPECTIVE and a portion from WILD WORLD or WELL LIVING for my own unique look or can I only use one look at a time?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product – Alpaca.

1. Is it possible to have the logo and the main menu on the left, I see on the demo it’s mainly the logo in the centre and the main menu on the left.

Sorry, but Alpaca doesn’t have such layout. Here are the full list of the layouts provided by Alpaca.

2. Some pages load on Ajax some don’t, was this a deliberate setting, can the whole site run on Ajax?

Alpaca provides the option to enable the AJAX navigation for post archive pages. But, it doesn’t provide the feature site wide.

3. Are you open to customization, for example on the top right, I would like to have a profile login/logout icon next to the cart icon

Sorry, but we don’t provide the customization work.

4. What design platform are you using for layout, in case I want to drag and put things as and how I wish, is it just a customizer?

WordPress Customizer only.

5. Can I mix things, like take a design from PERSPECTIVE and a portion from WILD WORLD or WELL LIVING for my own unique look or can I only use one look at a time?

You can import one demo data only. But you can create the mix content manually.

Thank you very much.

Hello, I love your theme and have been using it for a while, but now today all of the sudden the images on my main banner are loading blurry. www.socialmedellin.com

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us.

It seems that you have enabled the image lazy loading feature from both the theme and a third-party cache/performance plugin, please refer to this chapter of Alpaca online documentation for details about how to disable the features “Progressive Image Loading” and “Lazy Loading” from the theme.

ok i did

Hi,

Pre sale question:

In your wild world 3 demo, where can I find the page with all the posts outside the homepage

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our theme.

In the Wild World 3 Demo, we did not create a separate blog page to display all posts.

If you need a separate blog page:

When you are setting up your site, you just need to go to the site dashboard > “Settings” > “Reading” panel, find the “Your homepage displays” option, select “A static page” and select a page as the “Posts page”. All your posts will be displayed on this page.

Please refer to this screenshot: https://d.pr/i/Jc61OU . Thank you very much.

Hi presale question.

Looking to use it for a travel blog and I want to add the option to book travel tours. How do you recommend me to do this without interfering with the interface of the theme? wondering if this plug in will work properly with your theme? https://codecanyon.net/item/tour-master-tour-booking-travel-wordpress-plugin/20539780

Or can you suggest me another option?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product – Alpaca.

Yes, you can use a third-party plugin for the additional features.

Because Alpaca follows the WordPress coding standard, if the plugin also follows the WordPress Coding Standards, there should be no compatibility issue. However, since we haven’t tested the plugin you mentioned, we cannot guarantee it.

If you have any problem after purchasing, please open a support ticket at Loft.Ocean Help Center and one of the technical support specialists will assist you.

Thank you very much.

Bug Report

Hello, I would like to file a bug report, but the support period has expired. I can fix the CSS myself so I don’t need a response, but I hope it will be fixed in the next update.

First. If you go to Appearance > Customize > Single Post > Post > Default Post Template and select Wide Header Image and Normal Template, the margin under the ad in “Before Single Post Content” is not showing. (The margins are properly displayed for the split template and the overlay header.)

Second. In the wordpress gallery block, when a caption is entered, a 1px border appears below the figcaption and there appears to be a gap. .wp-block-image figcaption { border-bottom: 0; } Fixing the CSS as above cures it.

Thanks for the great theme. May the alpaca theme be even better.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your bug report.

The margin under the ad in “Before Single Post Content” is not showing – We will add a fix for this issue in the next update.

The bottom border below the gallery block figcaption ( https://d.pr/i/Tra7zy ) : I checked with our designer and found that this bottom border was added on purpose to better visually differentiate the image caption from the underlying body paragraph text. We will consider adding an option in a future update to allow users to choose whether to hide this bottom border. :)

Thanks again for your feedback. Have a nice day.

Best regards,
The Loft.Ocean Team

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding the gaps in the gallery block, we didn’t explain it well enough. It is the caption for each photo, not the caption for the entire block, that concerns the gap.

https://mou-rekisan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Caption-Gap.png

The line that goes on the caption for the entire block is not uncomfortable and does not bother me at all, so I don’t think I need to add an option to hide it.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. :-)

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Sorry I misunderstood what you reported.

Yes, this is indeed a CSS bug. We’ll fix it in the next version! :D

Hello!! Is the theme compatible with WordPress 6.0? I’m asking just to make sure before updating (although I keep daily backups).

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us.

Based on our testing, there is no compatible issue between Alpaca and WordPress 6.0.

However, we always recommend backing up your whole website before updating WordPress core.

If you have any further question, please open a support ticket at Loft.Ocean Help Center and one of the technical support specialists will assist you.

Thank you very much.

Do I have an account and sign up section? Is it possible to leave comments on posts?

hi my account page is not responding !

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our theme. Please see the details below:

1. An account and sign up section

If you install and activate the “WooCommerce” plugin, it will add an Account page to your website, as shown on our demo site, please refer to this screenshot: https://d.pr/i/kQoDlu .

2. Is it possible to leave comments on posts?

Sure. This is a feature that comes with WordPress. Please refer to the screenshot of the demo site: https://d.pr/i/V1PFBV .

3. “My account page is not responding”

Sorry, but I am not quite sure what you mean. Just checked the demo site, and the “My Account” page is functional.

Good afternoon! I really liked your theme. The best of all themes that I wanted to choose for my site. But I noticed the average download speed of the demo template. Maybe this is a problem with your hosting, or maybe with some other objective reason. In any case, I want to request a test version and check the speed of its work on our hosting. https://pastenow.ru/GUWTC This is a link to the screenshot PageSpeed Insights

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product Alpaca.

1. I noticed the average download speed of the demo template. Maybe this is a problem with your hosting, or maybe with some other objective reason.

Because there are multiple demos in this site, we haven’t made any optimization to it. I have created a testing site with the same data as the demo you mentioned. A cache plugin is enabled, but doesn’t use any CDN. You may like to check the score in this screenshot. Here is an online report on GTmetrix. Please note that the resulting score may change from time to time due to network connection or/and server load.

We also provide a detailed online documentation about how to optimize your website, you may like to check it here.

2. I want to request a test version and check the speed of its work on our hosting

Sorry, but we don’t provide any test version of the theme. Thank you very much for your understanding.

What about video? I dont see youtube or anything about posting self hosted videos, does this work without any issues for your theme?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product.

Yes, Alpaca supports videos, you can embed YouTube or self hosted videos as featured media of the post header or in the post/page content.

Here are some samples from our demo site:

1. Video Post: Overlay Header 2. Video Post: Wide Header Image 3. Video Post: Split

Hello

how much flexible is the mobile view and the desktop view

as an example can i decide what is visible there and what is not ?

and can i change the size and the numbers of blocks in one but not in the other ?

more simple :

( in desktop is something and in a mobile is something different )

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our theme.

“in desktop is something and in a mobile is something different” – The short answer is yes.

Homepage consists of “home widgets”. You can set up different home widgets for desktop and mobile devices. For example, “home widget #1” is set to be visible only for desktop, and “home widget #2” is set to be visible only for mobile phones.

You may like to check this chapter of the theme documentation for more details.

Thank you very much.

What Pagebuilder use this theme?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our product – Alpaca.

Alpaca doesn’t include any page builder plugin. The theme does not rely on any page builder functionality. We did not use any third-party page builder when building our demo sites, so you do not need a page builder to create a site similar to one of our demo sites.

Thank you very much.

Hello! I have a couple of pre-sale questions.

1. I’m currently using a theme that let’s you set “wider” and “full-width” images when writing using Gutenberg. You can do that in both post with sidebar and without a sidebar (although in posts with sidebar you can only use the “wider” option). I was wondering if your theme also supports the same options, because I think articles are look better when images and videos are a little wider than the content. The theme I am currently using is called “Contentberg” if you want to take a look.

2. Is the theme compatible with Rank Math SEO?

Hi,

Thank you for your purchasing.

Alpaca doesn’t have this feature, but I have added the feature you mentioned to the “Feature Request List” and deliver it to the development team. The team may consider adding it to Alpaca in the future. Like all other feature requests we receive, the priority of adding a new feature will depend on the number of same or similar feature requests we receive. Thank you very much for bringing it up.

You may like to check this link for more information: All about new feature requests.

If you have any problem when using our product, please open a support ticket at Loft.Ocean Help Center and one of the technical support specialists will assist you.

Thank you very much.

Hello!! I wanted to ask you if the theme is compatible with AMP’s official plugin?
