Is there better responsiveness compatibility planned for the near future of this theme? I tested out the demo site and it looks great on a desktop, but the mobile version had a lot to be desired. Like the slider. On a phone, there is no point to simply shrinking down the desktop slider if you can’t read the text or click on the buttons. Some of the remaining sections in the middle just felt crowded and didn’t fit will like they do on the desktop version.
Thanks for checking with me on this. I agree there is limited use for the slider itself on a phone. The revolution slider seems to be scaling well but we can only expect so much from a mobile device. Probably we should not even display it.
As far as other sections are concerned, can you pls let the specific section(s) you are referring to and which device you are using to connect to the site? I felt for most part, things look good and I did not feel that it felt crowded. In fact, in some sections like the features section I felt the spacing is a little more than ideal. The headings seemed a little bigger though but can be fixed quickly. I will be happy to address any issues you point out. Thanks again.
Hi LiveMesh,
I would like create a secondary nav menu. I’d look into framework.php and I found that:
function register_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary' => __('Primary Menu', 'mo_theme')
)
);
}But when I try with something like this:
function register_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary' => __('Primary Menu', 'mo_theme')
'secondary' => __('Secondary Menu', 'mo_theme')
)
);
}Then, white screens comes and I must reload framework.php form ftp.
Can you help me? Thanks again.

You will need to create an additional menu-secondary.php file which displays the menu (pls have a look at the file menu-primary.php as an example). And then also, you need to modify the header.php to display the menu -
get_template_part('menu', 'secondary');
Thanks so much for support. I’m going to try your recipe. Gracias!
Hi, Can I add a new class to ‘get the app’ button? I just wanted to link it to a modal popup using easy modal plugin. How do I add a new class to that button?
You can modify the code at line number 657 of file framework/functions/utility-functions.php file to include the class. You can also probably add it through javascript/jQuery ensuring it happens before the plugin is invoked.
i installed it in server, when i add new page through page section, and added one navigation link in menu section and enabled in theme options also but page content not appearing in front home page. 
Thanks for your purchase! Pls have a look at this video and see if it helps -

Hi,
The css style for a particular segment is displayed only if we give the same segment id as in demo content. If I change the segment id as per the content I’m posting, it is not taking up that css style. How do I use a particular style as in demo by changing the segment id? Also sometimes, the page scroll is going little up than the actual segment start. How do I correct it?
Can you pls tell which segment you are referring to? If something is generic enough, I would love to modify the css to accommodate other cases.
For changing scroll position, you will need to tweak the offset attribute at line number 212 in js/main.js file. I do plan to provide an option in the theme options to handle this since it can change based on the size of the menu and logo. Thanks
Features section is showing more gap (scrolling less than required) between header and title whereas glue for social section heading is hiding below the header (scrolling more than required).
I did take a look. It is behaving normally. The menu link you are providing is pointing to the wrapper div and not the internal contents which can start after a gap of few pixels (depending on the design). As long as the link jumps to the start of the exact element whose name you have provided in the menu, it is behaving normally. If you need to make any adjustments, you need change the menu link to the elements inside the wrapper div instead of the parent. For example, if you need to make the features link go down a little, pls try the link http://vencharsonline.in/glue/#app-features instead of http://vencharsonline.in/glue/#features since app-features is the internal element within the features segment. Hope this helps.
The offset change affects for all segments.
Hi, @LiveMesh,
I’m working with testimonial shortcode. I would like post testimonials with client’s name. I have their in testimonial section but when I try to post them in the page don’t work for me.
I’m using this shortcode:
[segment id=”client-testimonials1” background_color=’#669933’ background_image=”http://hostingcluster1desgest.net/test/business04/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/testimonials-background-b.jpg” parallax_background=”true” background_speed=”0.4”]
post_count=6][/responsive_slider][/segment]
How I should change that to show client’s name?
Thanks so much for support.

Can you pls email me a temp login (see bottom right box in my profile page). I can take a look and suggest the change required. Thanks!
Hi, Wanted to know whether it is possible to load content on page scroll. Now all the content in one page layout is loading at once. But I wanted to load the content once the user scrolls down section by sections. Is that possible? If not with theme options, is that possible with any other plugin? I did some research and came across infinite scroll plugin. Will that plugin work with this theme?
Have not experimented with the design you are suggesting for the home page but infinite scroll definitely works with this theme. In fact, we use the same plugin to lazy load the portfolio items in our Ajax Portfolio templates. If you can configure the plugin to lazy load the page sections one at a time, that would be great but keep in mind that wait time would be too much in my opinion due to the round trip to the server involved.
All the delayed load effect you see in the themes is just an effect applied on the content already loaded into the page. A few of us do lazy load of images only. Hope this helps.
OK! My purpose is to add animated graphs to the page. But as the content is already loaded in the page, by the time the user sees the graph, the animated is getting completed and a static graph is displayed. I’m using a plugin to display graphs. Do you have any alternative that can fulfill my purpose?
You can use the waypoints.js plugin to make the initialization of the graph plugin wait until the user scrolls to the section containing these graphs. Pls have a JS code like below in js/main.js file to achieve this -
$("#graphs-section").waypoint(function (direction) {
initialize_graphs();
}, { offset: $.waypoints('viewportHeight') - 250,
triggerOnce: true}); /* Show only when at least 250px of section is visible */
Hey, you can disregard the above issue. I fixed most of it. Had to start from the begging with no xml file. Finally go it updated although it is far from other version i had so im am having a hard time trying to do a couple of things.
1. Blog, i know that i have to create a post in order for it to show up on the blog page. But, how can i actually create the post? Do i have to create an actual page? Exactly what i can i use as the template for it. The pages that say template doesnt really look like the posts you have on the demo site. Also, the sidebars are they widgets? How can i go about create certain pages that i may reuse? And lastly , on the blog page, how to link the read more?
2. On the shop, products, carts, blog, for some reason theres a blue strip with each page respective names, how can i change that to a custom banner? Also, for pages that may pop up like the 404 how can i change the banner that appears, essentially setting up a set banner or changing the banners.
3. Also, i re downloaded the documentation etc countless of times but some reason i cant see the images showing how to do certain thing, ie. a portfolio page , ... Idk.’‘
4. Short codes what are they? They seem important, how can i use them. i seen many time you respond to put the in the css or something of that sort.
5. In the team section, everything is ok except , the usual place where i can disable the (hover & glow w follow me) is no where to be found. How can i disable or even change the content it displays ?
thanks in volumes.

Hi,
I have a presale question.
Is it possible to have social icons at the top right corner, in the nav menu instead of get this app button?
Kind regards,
Chrys.
Yes, it is possible. In fact, you can choose the same in the theme options panel. Thanks for your interest.
Hi there, I just bought your theme and tried to install the demo content and nothing works, I would like to have my site look like the home 2 concept. please provide instructions on how to do that, as the one that comes with the file doesn’t talk about that at all. thanks in advanced and great theme!
Thank you for your purchase! For help with demo data upload, pls have a look at this video -

LiveMesh,
How are you doing? i haven’t been on theme forest for a while and seen that you have updated the theme. Specifically, the woo commerce integration. As of right now , i see no place to update with one click theme update, would i have to download the files again, and restart manually or… Is there a better solution for this that i am not aware of?
- also, ive always wanted to replace the map in the contact us page with maybe a banner. Is that possible? or does it have to stay as a Google map.
- also, can gravity forms work with this theme? for instance. if i purchase and active gravity forms… Will the default contact form dissapear?
- sorry, gain, also. if i wanted to host a pdf form where the user can actually complete the form inside their browers and sumbmit how would i go about that. do u or the thme prove this?
Thanks in advance,
1) We have been doing great. We are upgrading our servers currently and things are really busy here. The way I update is to replace all files. No matter what method you use (there are plugins too like this – http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades/ to update easily), you will need to backup your changes and redo any changes you made to the files on the new installation.
Use tools like DiffMerge or WinMerge to compare the old and new files and redo the changes. You will spend probably an hour doing this but not more, specially if you have made changes only to a few select files. The settings data will stay and hence Custom CSS entered into theme options should be fine. It’s always a good idea to have a backup though. Hope this helps.
Best way to protect yourself from theme updates is to always make changes in the child theme. The theme is mostly child theme friendly and hence when you have time, you can probably go through the changes you have made to the core theme files and try to move them to child theme so that the core files are not affected and upgrades are smoother.
2) You can replace the google map with an image/banner or any HTML content of your liking. Just make sure you edit the page, navigate to the Custom Header Options metaboxes and edit the content under Custom Heading Content. Just replace the Google Map shortcode placed there with content of your own.
3) The default form will stay as it is even if you Gravity forms or Contact Form for that matter. The theme works well with Gravity Forms (have tested it ) and if you have any issues, pls let me know.
4) No idea actually about PDF forms. Never hosted one. Hope you can look for some help in Google and if you have further queries, pls contact us. Thanks for getting touch with us.
1. Thats great to hear.! Hope great changes to superb… Well, then i guess i must some set aside some time to complete this task. Wait question, if i replace all files, can i import an xml with everything just like the first time using the theme? Since it seems that everything i changed, might just be replaced with the new files. or should i use the methods and plug in you recommended
2. As for the google map, if i were to insert a banner, essentially i would just use the media link within the library?
3. So there would be no changes? Even if i add more fields? Expanding the form ? It will still end up as the default one?
4.No luck with the pdf forms either, will have to look more into it.
Questions
1. Hmm. This app dev theme, by any chance is there an html version of it? Will there ever be? Reason i am asking is because, in the future i would love to turn this theme into a rails application. Doable?
2. Another thing about the contact form, every time i submit, there is no change one (maybe because i havent added a thank you page for the submission, although some themes already just do that ) but my main concern is that , once i click submit i dont receive any email notifications…. only time i did is when i clicked submit over 20+ times and receive those countless hours later. What gives?
3. I have no clue what a shortcode is or how to use them, and it seems that i have to use them for for the porfolio. Is that the case becuase i dont see a place to create a porfolio/gallery. I see the tab in the admin, but… Idk, would you mind explaining how to properly use.
4. There are two sections, one above the pricing with the quotes and the simalar space above teams. Can those be change to custom things? (new banners) Do i have to change the theme or can this be a simple edit in the admin?
5. The rss feed symbol can i take it down? Or even, can i enable it??? Blog portion of the site is soon coming, so i should make use of it.
As always thanks in advance, sorry for so many questions.
1) Importing the xml file again will work for importing any new pages/page sections but will not work for existing pages since the importer will just raise an error saying the ‘page already exists’.
2) You can use the media library for the banner.
3) Yes, no change since it is totally different codebase.
Queries
1) Sorry – no HTML version planned for this theme.
2) If you are receiving emails late, you should talk to your hosting provider or the admin at the receiver’s end. The theme itself has no effect on the delay.
3) The documentation explains how to create a portfolio page with visual screenshots. Pls have a look and get back to me for queries.
4) It is a simple edit in the admin. Just have to open the editor and change the URLs. You can have a test system and play around with some of the content to see how all this works.
5) RSS feed is automatically generated by WordPress. You can access it at http://example.com/feed.
Hope this helps 
Live Mesh,
Ive just encountered a huge problem attempting to update the theme. I attempted using the plugin, to no avail for some reason it didn’t work.Then i use your preferred method of deleting the theme and re installing the new files but, it kept on giving me this appdev1 thing every time i try to upload the new version. Everything stays the same.
So , through frustration, i delete both old and new themes, and delete word press from the site, delete the databases so i can start fresh. (created a home directory backup but even that doesn’t even work ) Now, with the fresh slate i re install word press, create a new database, user etc. download a fresh copy of the updated theme andn attempt again. Now it installs, but now i try to import the xml file it keeps failing to import everything.
What went wrong??? I can’t seem to figure it out. Push comes to shove i would restore the back up till i know what to do but even thats not working out. Now, the page looks like the first time you get it w/o the import and i lost everything . Theres a under construction page up, but, i need to rectify as soon as possible. I know for a fact that i have some potential clients that are viewing the site today, as i sent them to it before this here happened. Please help, you’ve been very help all this time…. I hope you know, that is it very appreciated…
ps. everything before can wait, i would like to have the site up or something up
Thanks in advance
this no longer applies, i had to start from scratch although i have some other things that pose a problem to me.
Sorry about posting a support request here but I haven’t received an email with login credentials to the forum after signing up.
I’m wondering if the twitter widget is the latest as I don’t see any tweets and I can’t add API details as they are required to use the latest twitter API v1. (Know that from my own themes and twitter widgets).
Second question is: how to get the sticky menu on tablets and smartphones?
Any help on that would be very appreciated as I need to get live with the page by tomorrow!
Thanks in advance! CI
Pls do not use the twitter widget since it is defunct now after the 1.1 Twitter API update. Pls see the below post for instructions on how to configure Twitter feed for the theme -
http://portfoliotheme.org/support/faqs/twitter-widget-api-v1-1-configuration/Will get back to you soon on the sticky menu.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll check the instructions on the twitter feed out.
Another issue just arise: How can I use the slider on a translated website with WPML? I’ve created two pages (one english – one german) but the slider appears only on the startpage that I set in the > Settings > Reading. And, of course, I need to use the “Slider EN” on the english start page and the “Slider DE” on the german. But there’s only one widget area “Homepage Slider Area” to use the Revolution Slider Widget…
Thanks again, CI
The slider can appear on multiple home pages provided you have chosen the right page template – single page site template or Advanced Home Page template. Pls ensure that you do not check the box “Home Page only” in the Revolution slider widget. The Homepage Slider area can apply to multiple pages provided the right page template is used.
Hi, Do you know when I’ll get access to the support forum? I’ve signed up days ago! Another issue came up. When I scroll down, the bullets of the slides are displayed over the sticky navigation bar. I reckon it’s a z-index issue but I can’t fix it even if I apply a much higher z-index to the sticky menu than to the bullets container. The URL is: http://neu.adsquare.com You’ll see it on the start page when you slowly scroll down.
In the demo the bullets are fading out. I don’t know why that isn’t the case here. Contact me by email too if you like: felix.hollenstein@colibri-interactive.com
Thanks in advance, CI
Can you just reply here with the user id or email me (pls use bottom right box on my profile page – http://themeforest.net/user/LiveMesh ) the user id you used or the one that you are comfortable that I can create for you in the forum? I will get the account setup for you once I receive the same. Sorry for the trouble. This happens rarely (hard to reproduce and debug why this happens) and we will take care of this for you.
I saw the site. Really well done. Looks surprisingly clean. I see no bullets over the sticky menu though. May be you got it fixed. Can you pls send me a screenshot if you can still see it. Will help if you mention the browser that you are testing with. Thanks.
We will get the user id created for you and send it to you. The signup is completely automated and hence I will need to create the user manually for you.
To fix the issue of bullets going over the sticky menu, pls input the following custom CSS -
.tp-bullets {
z-index: 900;
-webkit-transform: none !important;
}
There is a webkit-transform defined on this (transforms create a new stacking layer like z-index) by rev slider and I am not sure what the intent of it. It made no difference removing it.
Have created a user id for you and hope you received your email with the password. Pls let me know if you need further help. Thanks.
What’s new in 2.6?
Will update the change log in next few hours and let you know. Thanks!
The change log has been updated on the theme page. Pls check. Thanks.
can I have front end registration integrated with this theme (and a Sign in / Register button top right)
Thanks for your interest. Not sure if you have some plugin already in mind. But you can do the same with a premium plugin like Gravity Forms or use the free Contact Form 7. The theme supports both of these plugins.
You can change the link and the text of the button on the top right from theme options panel. So instead of ‘Get App’ you would have ‘Sign In’ and then the link would direct to a sign in page.
How do I setup the homepage slider just like in your preview? With the App Store and Google Play links that animate? I’m trying to set it up the same I don’t see the options.
Thanks, Tim
Once you have installed the Revolution Slider plugin, you have an option to import slider. Click on the import slider button and choose the “revolution-slider-import-data.txt” file located in the “revolution-slider-setup-instructions” folder as the import file. This will create a slider which is exact replica of the slider that we have put in the demo site. Thanks!
And also make sure you import the sample data as well. Please see this video for instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26eeNU97mxY
Im missing two sections from the frontpage. The contact form (lowest) and ‘AppDev comes with many awesome features.’
Can you send me the code?
For the bottom contact form, pls drag a Text widget into the Footer widget areas (there are six of them in the Appearances-> Widget screen) and paste the following short code into the same -
[contact_form mail_to=“contact@brokerjapan.com” subject=”false” web_url=”false”]
and for the other code pls send me an email with the purchase code through the box provided at the bottom right on my themeforest profile page. -

Quick question…
I got the demo of the site up but don’t know how to change the background of where the testimonials are at? It’s the background of the hills at the frontpage.
Also, how do I get the logo lineup with the menu as you have in your preview site in themeforest? My logo goes either above or below the menu line.
For logo issue, pls send me the site URL so that I can see what’s happening. I would prefer a temp login as well if possible. Pls use the bottom right box on my profile page for the email.
For changing the background of the testimonials, you just need to edit the page section named “Team” and change the image URL in the [segment] shortcode which looks like this -
[segment id="client-testimonials1" background_color='#374a4e' background_image="http://portfoliotheme.org/appdev/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/parallax-bg2.jpg" parallax_background="true" background_speed="0.4"]
There is more information on this shortcode in the documentation for the theme.

Ive tried a number of times to import your data. Some of it imported but there are no new pages, etc showing? Please provide any reason why there are not pages to use for demo?
Thanks for your purchase! Imports failing is often due to limited memory allocated to the site (by hosting company or via a setting in wp-config.php). You can have a look at this video for help on replicating the demo site entirely -
http://portfoliotheme.org/support/faqs/appdev-theme-how-to-setup-theme-and-revolution-slider-youtube-video/In your case, to get those pages that are part of the demo, you need to retry import a few times. Better solution of course is to make changes to the installation to increase memory since sooner or later you will face issues with limited memory. Pls see the below post for some help -
