Hello, I’m having trouble following this video: https://vimeo.com/311424782 Everything works fine except the header. It has no colored (transparent) background, nor is there any animation when scrolling. I noticed that in the demo there was also a display problem, I wonder if it’s related. I don’t have an online site yet, I use wordpress.org. How can I get the same header as in the demo ?
Hello Aaron,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I just checked with the live demo and latest version of WordPress and related plugins. There is a small JS issue in the theme file, which I have fixed at my end. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, I will send you the file. I will also release an update, but that may take a few days in approval. So email me directly.
Kind regards

Hello,
Can you please post message from the purchase account, so that I can continue providing support.

When I preview the site from Themeforest, the menu with logo has a black bar behind it and it gets smaller when you scroll down the page. However, when I install the theme, there is nothing behind the page logo and it’s transparent when I scroll. I’ve gone through every setting that I can find…what am I missing?
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. Kindly send me your site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the issue.

Using the post-loop widget, the class that dictates a new row in the grid is “last”, however in some cases the “last” class is being added to posts that are not ACTUALLY last, so the grid is breaking to a second line prematurely.
Please advise
Hello,
Kindly send me the URL of the page on which the widget is used. I will take a look.

Hello,
It is actually the class “first’ added in the middle product of “For Skid-Steer Loaders” section. Kindly check by clearing all caches of Autooptimize plugin. If that doesn’t work, kindly send me your site login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it further.
Regards
Thank you. I’ve cleared the caches to no avail, and also tried disabling Autoptimize all together. I’ve emailed you credentials.
How do I get Redux page options to show on Custom Post Types? E.g. the “product” post type for WooCommerce?
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. The Page options are only for the ‘Page’ post type. It will not show on other post types. Even if we set to show these in other post types, it will have no effect unless those plugins (like WooCommerce or others) use that data to reflect on their respective post types. If you have any specific need like hiding a sidebar or any area on product posts, we can do that by other methods. Do let me know if that is required.

Hi,
I am using this link for the list of icons for your Wordpress Benchmark Theme: https://material.io/resources/icons/?style=baselinehttps://material.io/resources/icons/?style=baseline You referenced it in one of your previous comment responses. Several of the icons I tried do not work, for example, the ‘biotech’ icon, the ‘eco’ icon, the ‘science’ icon, the ‘engineering’ icon. is there an updated list of icons that I can use for the Benchmark Theme? Thank you.
Hello,
Those icons are not yet in the current version of the theme. I will release an update with those icons included.
Regards
Hi,
Thank you for the response. I installed the new released 1.6.0 version of Benchmark but I’m still having issues with seeing the icon. Is the coding still the same as the previous version? For example, for the ‘biotech’ icon which can be seen on the updated list, I am typing and it is still showing a blank spot where the icon is suppose to be. Is this correct?
Hi,
Also, if you are adding the Icons individually from the list at https://material.io/resources/icons/?search=agriculture&icon=agriculture&style=baseline, can you please also add the ‘agriculture’ icon. Thank you.
Hello,
The old icons usage remains same, however, the usage for new icons is like the one below:
<i class="icon mdi">icon_name</i>
The agriculture icon shall be used as:
<i class="icon mdi">agriculture</i>
If you want to use anywhere inside the text or page body, use the following markup:
<i class="material-icons">icon_name</i>
Let me know if you still find any difficulty.
Regards
Hi,
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, the new icons still do not show up on my page when I use the line of code you showed in your response. I tried both lines of code. I am using template for Homepage 06 and attempting to change the icons on the second section of the template below the text/picture section at the top. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.
Hello,
If you are using any caching plugins, make sure to purge all caches. Also clear browser caches so that new CSS can come into effect.
Regards
Dear SaurabhSharma, I haven’t received a response from you regarding the new icons not showing up on my site. I’ve cut and pasted the exact code that you presented in your above comment and there is still a blank area displayed on the area where the icon should be. Can you please let me know how I can proceed with this issue? Thank you.
Hello,
Sorry but I already replied to your comment 5 days ago. (Ref: The one in which I said to purge caches). If this is still not working, kindly send me your site URL and admin login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the issue.

Hi,
Hope you are doing good.
I need some support for this template… I’m trying to change the Icon for which the code written is
I’m not able to change the icon from material design Icon codes… can you please suggest why this is happening.
Additionally, if I want to put an image instead of Icon how can I do that.
Thanks for the support
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the template. Do let me know which icon you are trying to place. The icon library included in the template is not the latest one, so it is possible that you might be trying to add a newly included icon. I will update the library if that is the case.
For the image in place of icon, use the “Layout Builder” widget inside a column. Then use a 2 columnar layout for each widget for adding image and text. See below links for reference images:
http://prnt.sc/sttc6shttp://prnt.sc/sttceh
http://prnt.sc/sttcoi
Or send me your site URL and admin login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will create a sample row of image and text block.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Can u please confirm the list for ICONs or update the same so that I can use it.

Dear SaurabhSharma:
I am having trouble with some of the icon names on the Benchmark Template. Some of the Icon names are not showing up when I enter the icon name. For example, ‘eco’ and ‘biotech’ are not showing up. Is there a revised name list link for the icons?
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. Can you send me the link of icon resource from which you are taking name reference. I will check with theme’s icon library if those icons are available in it or not.

Hi, I just purchased your Benchmark Theme for Wordpress. I have installed the theme onto my WordPress site and I’m trying to use the Homepage 06 version of your homepage template but I cannot seem to locate it. Can you help me find the location of this page template and demo data? Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. Kindly download the “All files and documentation” zip file from your downloads page on themeforest. Upon extracting this download, you shall see a documentation/index.html file. Open this file in browser and see the “Create Home Page” section. This contains detailed instructions on setting up a page of our choice.
If you find any difficulty in above procedure, please email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will help in setting up the page.

Hello lacreativodesign,

Hi there, I have downloaded your theme and tried to fix all pages but its not giving same look as in Demos … kindly let me know how to do that ….
Hello ajmal33,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. I suppose you have imported dummy XML data for pages. But in order to create a page as in live demo, kindly insert the pre-built page using Page Builder’s template option. For this, please refer to the documentation file’s “Create Home Page” section. If you find any difficulty, kindly send me your site URL and admin login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Thanks that worked, however when I use the “Force white color for menu items when using white color scheme” the first page is the color I selected then it reverts back to the red-orange color.
Hello,
For the “Force white” option enabled, the CSS will be changed. Kindly use the following CSS instead of previous one:
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.current-menu-item > a,
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.current-menu-parent > a,
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.current-menu-ancestor > a,
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.current_page_parent > a,
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.active > a,
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li.active:hover > a {
color: #fff;
background: #f44336;
}
.force-white .nav-enabled .nav-menu > li:hover > a {
color: #424242;
border-bottom-color: rgba(0,0,0,.24);
}
Then change the #f44336 to desired color.

Just to let you know that “Benchmark” was featured in our latest WordPress theme roundup on Tuts+ 15 Best WordPress Landing Page Themes – Made for Conversions—keep up the great work!
Hello Ian,
Thanks so much for featuring the theme on Tuts+. I am very happy and thankful for this inclusion.

Hello, i am writing the same question again, i accidentally wrote this in the “Landing page version of this template”.
I bought your WP version of the Benchmark theme. Though i have an issue to use the demo as presented in the live preview. For example i imported the all_content.xml file but when open the home-1 page, instead of a page like in the demo i get a messy and styleless version of that page.
Can you please help me with this issue, since i wish to use the demo page as a starting page with minor changes.
Thank you in advance.
Timur.
Hello Timur,
Thank you for purchasing the theme.
XML import will work well for posts and categories. But for pages created in page builder, use the ready made templates from page builder panel. See Creating Home Page section of the documentation file. After importing desired Home layout, make sure to adjust settings as shown in the screen shot in that section. That will make the Home page same as live demo.
Regards
Thank you
