Hello

I have downloaded the theme, installed and previewed. The theme is excellent. I’m just struggling to open and edit a page using frontend visual composer, it just doesn’t load. Is it my internet connection or any other issues?

Hello!

Thank you for your kind words! I’d always suggest using the backend editor rather than the frontend – I notice that some theme authors disable the frontend editor entirely as it’s just not as fast as the backend.

Best,

Simon

How can i encrease the number of products (Latest products) on homepage slider from 5 to 6 items/products?

Hi!

There’s no option currently to change the number of products visible in the grid – we’ll make a note of the request for a future release.

Hi team! I search how to specify dimensions of menu’s image, as GTmetrix recommends. Have you an idea? Thx. Cyril.

Bonjour Cyril

It’s not actually possible to specify dimensions for the images in the megamenu. As you can see we had to adapt the WordPress menus to allow images in the first place by using the description field for the link.

hi

Can i change the color of the buttons on the CAPTIVA CONTENT STRIP?? thank you

Hi

They’re using the Visual Composer buttons.

  • On a new page, add element – button. Create the button as you like.
  • Then switch to classic view. This displays the shortcode markup.
  • Paste this into the Captiva Content Strip.

Best

Simon

Can i set a custom color for these buttons?

Hi

There’s an option to add a class on a button. I’d write something like ‘pink-color’ and then in Captiva Theme Options > Custom Code:

.pink-color {
background: pink;
}

Hello, how I can make the fields smaller in the Registration / Login Page? They are ugly cos they expand to the whole website width. Thanks

Hi there

Try this bit of css within Captiva Theme Options > Custom Code

#customer_login .col-1 {
    width:47%;
    float: left;
}

#customer_login .col-2 {
    width: 47%;
    float: right;
}

#customer_login input.button {
    width: auto !important;
}

Hey Hey,

i tryed to translate some parts into german, but I don’t see a change after saving and uploading it back to the server.

I changed the files in wp-content/themes/captiva/woocommerce.

Is there something else I can do?

Best, Mon

and many other things are also strange:

i just wanted to swap the positions of the update-button and the checkout-button. I changed it in the cart.php in the captiva files.

But NO changes….

Hi there Mon,

Please send me an email to support@commercegurus.com with the specific strings (i.e. please include a screenshot showing us the strings) that you’re unable to translate and we’ll be able to tell you how to do this asap.

Re: button positioning – again if you just point me in the direction of the specific buttons in your email I can advise you on how best to do this.

Best,

Colm

You’ve got mail :)

Please help me asap :’( <3

Thanks

The size like this example http://captivatheme1.commercegurus.com/product/aaron-tee/ Thanks

Hi Andrea

It can be a little tricky to figure out – I wrote a blog post on that filters plugin which might help though:

Thank you so much Simon! So kind!

hi there

The twitter link in the SOCIAL MEDIA section of THEME OPTIONS is set to the correct twotter page that opens fine on the phone but on the desktop version it just points to a hash tag??

Hi

Can you send a link to the page where this to occurs to support@commercegurus.com and I’ll take a look.

Thanks

Simon

Resolved – was a different theme

Hello: I happen to catch some problems with the visual composer plugin which basically returns 404 error for all of its resources every time i load the site .

Hi there!

I’ve never seen an issue with Visual Composer like that before. Could you send a link and WP login, perhaps some screenshots of the error also to support@commercegurus.com and I’ll take a look.

Regards

Simon

Hi, thanks for the instant reply. I am running the site on localhost for testing here’re some sample in my browser log MY_ACTUAL_PLUGIN_DIRECTORY_ON_MY_HARD_DISK is the string like ”/Volume/MacintoshHD/...”

Hi there

It’s difficult to diagnose without seeing it on a live server. Another user had some issues with VC on wamp but it worked great on a live server. Maybe trying publishing and take a look then.

Hello!

Tried to install the theme but the theme package appears to be bigger than the standard 8mb theme file… can’t upload using Wordpress directly.

Trying to upload using FTP causes errors and now a fresh install of WP is having a white-screen of death.

Do you have a .zip of the theme that will upload via FTP? I can install other themes onto server fine…

Failed to open “C:\Users\Al\Google Drive\INTERNAL\UPCOMING MEDIA (Website)\VERSION7\themeforest-8241498-captiva-responsive-wordpress-woocommerce-theme\THEMEFOREST_CAPTIVA_PACKAGE\ThemeInstall\captiva\captiva\admin\redux-framework\ReduxCore\inc\fields\spinner\vendor\spinner_custom.js” for reading Error: File transfer failed

Over 217 files failed to transfer using FTP all from inside the ReduxCore folder. I’ve never had an issue like this using a themeforest theme before. Any suggestions?

Best Regards,

KSD

Edit: I have some of the pages going, however pages with the slider appear to not load fully.

FIXED! Realized memory was low. Had to increase to 64MB

Excellent, glad you got it sorted!

Simon

hi there

i copied and pasted the text from a file sent to me that would give me a copy of the Captiva Corporate page.

if you take a look at the link below – scroll down the page till you get to the PROFILE sections, you’ll see that the font awesome icons for twitter / linked in and anything else i choose will not change color other then white – no matter what i change in the setting.

Could you take a look please? thank you

Hi there

I just changed the icons from white to red in the demo and it worked just fine. Could you send your WP login details to support@commercegurus.com and I’ll take a look.

Simon

Hi, I just bought Captiva and installed it manually. Now I would like to install the add ons like WP bakery, Ultimate add ons, layerslider. How do I do this?

Thanks! JP

By watching the tutorials, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co8Pj9S92ns) I also see that I miss the lift and right sidebar widgets?? Should they not be in the files, or is this not part of the download? JP

Thanks for the great support!

Thanks JP, appreciate it :)

Simon

Hi gurus team. i would like to know if the breadcrumb of the shop could be enable for the posts, pages é categories of my site. Thx! Cyril.

Bonjour Cyril

Hope everything is good with you. The Yoast SEO plugin (which is very good by itself) includes a Breadcrumbs module which should do the trick.

Thx Simon, just one click when you have Yoast…perfect, thx!

Hi there,

I am really struggling to get Paypal Express to work on our website. Tried ev everything and I still get an error message. Any advice you can give me please?

http://www.ishopdirect.co.nz/my-account/cart/

Hi there Boeremeisies

I’d advise switching from Captiva to the default WordPress theme, Twentyfourteen. If the plugin still doesn’t work then I’d get in touch with its developer.

Best,

Simon

Hi Simon, Managed to fix the PayPal issue. We reinstalled Wordpress and I needed to update API’s. All good now, thanks for the excellent support. We are loving Captiva – it’s a fantastic theme!

Excellent, glad you got it sorted!

Hey I was just wondering if its possible to set this theme up as a “One Page” Template. When you click a page from the navigation menu it would have a smooth scroll down to the related section. Is this possible? Thanks for your help. Best, Corbin

Hi there Corbin,

Thanks for getting in touch!

A “One Page” template is not currently possible with Captiva.

We’ll consider it for a future release.

Best,

Colm

Can you post instructions for how to create the Home page smaller slider template, basically just the slider and two banners part. I am sure I can make it using visual composer but want to have it just like you do in the demo.

And as always, when is the next big update coming? ;) can’t wait! :)

Hi there reboot!

I’ll send you the smaller slider instructions now via email.

Re: next big update – not sure on a precise eta at the moment – we’ve lots of enhancements in the pipeline :) We might do one more maintenance release next (which will include the latest version of Visual Composer) and then we should be down to feature releases :)

Best,

Colm

Just purchased the Captiva theme. Followed the Installation video and everything seems to be installed properly. However the Front Page, About Us page and several others don’t want to load. The Shop pages and blog pages load.

The default page loads but the minute you set the Reading to Static Page, it doesn’t load.

Using WampServer. Any ideas? Have to get this site out pronto and can’t afford this trouble I’m having.

Hi there rroode,

thanks for getting in touch!

we got your email and I’ve just sent you a response :)

Colm

Thanks for your prompt response Colm, working great on the Live Server.

Hi,

Very nice theme, just bought it :)

Where can i find the .PSD files?

Kind regards, Rob

Hi there Rob

Thank you! The theme was built entirely from front end markup without psds! Is there an element or something in particular you need?

Simon

Ok. I guess I have to redesign by adjusting the front end markup.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers, Rob

Thanks Rob!

That reminds me – I came across this the other day – I haven’t used it but perhaps it might be of help, http://www.pagelayers.com/

Hi. I have newly installed the theme and the product images is very large. No matter what i set as size in woocommerce->Products, the images is the same large size. It seems to be the .cap-product-gallery-img img {width:100% !important;} that does this. Is this how it is supposed to be, and do i need to change this css if i want the product images to be set to a max-width of 300×500px?

Aril

Hi Aril

Ah I see now. Well two options I guess, one would be to upload larger images. The other would be to overwrite the 100% variable by adding this line to Captiva Theme Options > Custom Code

.cap-product-gallery-img img {
width: auto !important;
}

Best,

Simon

Hi Simon. The image wasn,t centered so I did this:
.cap-product-gallery-img img {
max-width: 300px !important;
margin: 0 auto !important;
display: block;
}

Is this an ok way to do it, or is there a better way?

Hi Aril

Your code should work just fine. I guess you could also change the fundamental grid to give less space to the image but this way is certainly easier.

Best,

Simon

Hello,

I can’t find this:

“How to upload a Product Category banner

We made one small enhancement to the WooCommerce->Products->Categories section. When you are adding/editing a product category you will now see an option called “Product Category banner”. This is designed to allow you to upload a large product category banner like the one on display below”

.

Hi there!

Thanks for getting in touch! If you send me your WP login details to support@commercegurus.com I’ll take a look at this for you asap.

Best,

Colm

Hi RumboDigital

Added the banner field for you there :)
