I just purchased this theme and have been trying to set it up, but some parts of the customization isn’t showing up. I emailed the account since the support site isn’t working.

Hello there, it seems to be fine your configuration, have you tested the theme with only Clayton plugin and Evolve framework active in order to understand if there is some conflict with the other plugins? Talk to you soon, Simone

I found the problem! It was my hosting providers plugin that syncs to their website. For some reason their plugin breaks themes. Thanks for the help! I can build my site now!

You’re welcome, I’m glad you solved it!

Hello,

I’ve found a strange behaviour, if I display a page normally, the title is framed with an H1 tag but if I put this same page as the home page of the site in the settings, it then gets an h2 tag, so for the demo, if we remove the title header we have neither H1 nor h2,

Would there be an overload function to define that a page on the home page receives a title in H1 with header decoration and not H2?

without that I have un set pb

example: https://odyssey.photos > H2 demo 1 example: https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/ no title tag wedding demo (just a page ) https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/wedding-page/ > H1 can you help me?

best reguards

Hello there, thanks for reporting, we have found the issue and we will fix it in the next update. Best, Simone

Hello there, the fix is available in the 1.9.31 version. Best, Simone

Hello,

a few weeks ago I noticed a problem with Clayton and page speed insight. At first I thought the problem was with my plugin but I did a test with the demo wedding

https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/wedding-page/ and I get the same error as for my personal site https://odyssey.photos

Apparently the problem comes from the preloader, I know it’s possible via a css hack to hide the preloader but it’s not very clean. Would it be possible to have an option to disable it?

the hack : .clayton-preloader { display: none } .clayton-l { opacity: 1 !important }

Sincerely

Hello there, unfortunately no, there isn’t an option to disable it but we will further investigate in order to understand if we can add an option to disable it, thanks for the suggestion. Best, Simone

Hi there, we have just release a new update with an option to disable the preloader, you can find it under Clayton > Options > Extra. Best, Simone

Presales question: I see that this theme has not been updated since 12/2022. You still updating this theme? Or have you stopped?

This is really strange, since I can see the badge “purchased” on you user name, so it’s clear that you have purchased our theme. Anyway, we can obviously send the zip file of the theme but this needs to be sorted by Envato. Let us know if they help you with this issue. Talk to you soon, Simone

Ok, I now have the proper files. I have installed the theme. I have loaded the dark theme demo and the content is not the same, especially on the gallery. I know that most of the photos are prob under copywriter, but the gallery isn’t laying out the way it shows on your demo. It lays out differently.

samueldhansen.com

When I go to “Shots from above” page and other gallery pages, they are all just blog layout.

Hi there, glad you solved with the zip file. The theme choice is intended only to setup and configure colors/fonts and give an idea of the page structure. Images and galleries must be removed and created with your images, since the ones used in the demo cannot be included in the package. You can follow the YouTube videos for more details about collection and albums > https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFQ_-yS_aUpW6fJbXevqj1Fm8Yq-SmmiV Let me know if you have any other questions. Best, Simone

hello, I had some problems with page in ‘collection’ mode.

No options were displayed in wordpress editor when page was in collection. No options, no layout, no header options.

So I tried to update clayton, and now it seems my theme is broken? Each time I try to switch to clayton theme or clayton child, I have the message ‘Installing the required plugins’ and nothing happens but a green circle turning around.

If I try to navigate on my website, I have a message regarding parse error in line 50 in evolve-framework/classes/core/libs/ev_list.php

Can you help?

Thank you :)

Hi there, I’ve replied to your ticket on email, anyway, the last error should be fixed in the latest update, which PHP version are you using right now? Talk to you soon, Simone

Could you please update the version number properly ? The actual is updated but the way you did it, let the envato plugin show there is another version but not update it since it’s not written in the files /style.css:7 and /languages/clayton.pot:5. Anyway, the envato plugin can’t actually install the update the way you did it.

For everybody you can update the plugin manualy by downloading it from envato interface and replacing in the theme section of wordpress by uploading and clicking replace on the conflict.

Hell there, sorry for the mistake, we will update the theme today with the correct version number.

hello, I’m a recent purchaser. I can’t find any support? where do I need to go?

Hello there, you can ask here, write to us using the form on our profile page https://themeforest.net/user/evolve-themes or use our support on https://justevolve.it/support

Best, Simone

Hello, I noticed you last updated this theme last year. Any plans to release a new update soon? I’m considering purchase and I’m curious about how current it will be and the maintenance aspect. Thanks.

Hi there, we have no immediate plans to update it since is working with the latest WordPress version, probably by the end of the year we will work on a PHP 8 compatibility update. Best, Simone

The Photo Wall does not work under PHP 8. Will you release an update for this?

Hello there, since the support for the PHP 8 is still in development for the WordPress core we have delayed an update, we will probably release a new update with the WordPress 6.1. Best, Simone

Hello. I’ve tried to use the popular WP plugin “Image Hotspot by DevVN” for implementing images with tool tips. Sadly the plugin does not work together with the Clayton template so far – the tool tips simply won’t show on hover. When using the plugin on other WP installations with other template or changing the design from Clayton to another one, suddenly everything works. Can you provide any explanation why the plugin doesn’t work with Clayton or any workaraound?

Thank you in advance!

Hello there, we have tested the plugin and it seems to work with our theme on frontend. We only experience a Javascript error during the pin placement on backend but after saving the hotspot shortcode and reload the page everything seems to be working properly. The error by the way is not triggered by the theme but from this plugin. Let me know if you have any other question. Best, Simone

That sounds generally great, but is in complete contrast to what I’m experiencing. While in my case there is no problem with the backend, the tooltips are not showing in the front end pages. Right after I change the design to e.g. the Twenty-Twenty template, everything works as it should. If you don’t mind I’d like to send you a screencast showing the situation probably better than I can explain it here. I would use the contact form from the evolve website for doing so.

Hi there, sure no problem, we will reply to your email. Talk to you soon, Simone

Hi,

This is a pre-sales question – on your present home page you have a single image, is it possible to have a slideshow of several images, as opposed to a sigle image, as in your slideshow example?

Thanks Anthony

Hi there, yes, every page can be defined as “front page” in WordPress, like in the “Wedding demo” for example, you can have a slideshow album page. Let me know if you have any other question. Best, Simone

Hi – Pre sale question – I see there was an issue with Wordpress 5.6 with this template, has that been resolved? Also I am looking at the demo and the Dark Theme does not seem to work, is this broken? Thanks

Hi there, yes and the theme supports the 5.9 version. Concerning the dark theme demo you can visit directly this link https://justevolve.it/demo/clayton/home-dark/ let me know if you have any other question.

Best,

Simone

Hi there,

the theme currently doesn’t support this filter since there is an option to choose which image size should be used in each specific album or collection and there is also a lazy loading functionality.

Best,

Simone

Hi I would like to report a problem with the articles on your topic. If I activate the lightbox and the photos in the gallery are enlarged, the image opens twice, one with a transparent black outline and one underneath with a white background.

could you solve this problem? thank you

I am attaching a link to a page where this defect is seen https://www.emans.it/reportage-fotografici-bologna/

Buongiorno Emanuele, ha per caso qualche altro plugin di lightbox attivo nel tema? A presto,

Simone

Hello, I have a 5.8.2 wordpress version, this theme work fine? Thank U

Hi, thanks for the reply.

On the first page I see the code, instead of the graphics:

admin_label=”Fullwidth Header” title=”A POETIC PICTURE” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”right” header_fullscr

.... ... .. ect ect ect

Hi there,

these are shortcodes from an Elegant Themes theme, not part of our product.

Best,

Simone

Hi,

two questions from me. The featured images in the single blog posts – are they always full width or is there an option to set the width like a wide image block has? And is there an option for related posts?

Regards, r.

And onemore: The footer shows one line “Follow me on instagram” but no more. No thumbs ore anything else. Is it an issue or is this the idea?

Hi there,

sorry for the late reply. Concerning your first question, yes the images are intended to be full size. There’s no related functionality but you can use any external plugin to generate that. Concerning your last question, this is an issue related to the plugin used in the demo for Instagram, some API changes break the functionality, this is not part of the theme itself, is an external plugin, can be changed easily.

Best,

Simone

Hi there,

sadly the Item Support is not working, therefore I’m writing to you here.

Some days ago, I bought the theme and have one question: Because I prefer the darker version of the theme for the homepage, but the lighter one for pretty much everything else, I installed two additional plugins – one for duplicating the child theme and another one for the use of multiple themes, so that I can select the second (dark) theme for the homepage.

And indeed this works pretty well, with one exception: of course the darker version of the website would require a lighter version of the logo on top, while the lighter should get the deeper one. But in contrast to the colors unfortunately I’m not able to use different logos in the costumizer (the one I select always gets displayed in both child themes).

I already did some research on the web, but apart from a not functioning extension for the functions.php I’ve found nothing so far to get two seperate logos. Do you have any ideas that could help my in this regard?

Greetings, Lukas

Hi there,

this is something not usual and you found an interesting solution. Concerning the logo issue you can alternatively change it with CSS, for example, you can target the home page .custom-link-logo class, create a pseudo element and apply a background image, something like:
.home .custom-logo-link::before {
content: "";
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-image: url(your white logo url);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
}

/* and hide the actual logo, just to make sure that will not be displayed */
.home .custom-logo-link img { opacity: 0 }
or something like that.

Best,

Simone

Thank you very much! But unfortunately, I’m not that deep into CSS programming. So if you don’t mind my further question would be: Is the replacement of the logo already done by just copying the code segment you’ve provided (with entered url of the white logo) into the style.css of the Theme Editor? This is what I’ve tried and it didn’t work out so far :(

So I suppose there are additional steps to undertake. Am I right? Or what else could have gone wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

sorry for the late reply, we didn’t receive the notification. Concerning your question, can you share with us a link to your page with this code applied so that we can check if something is missing?

Talk to you soon,

Simone

it’s been a long time since an update to 1.9.28 are there any reported problems with wp 5.8.1

Hi there,

nope, we have no report on the 5.8.1, but if you notice any issue please open a ticket.

Best,

Simone

Also is there a way to adjust the thumbnail and grid padding on the grid gallery?

Hi there,

nope, unfortunately there isn’t an option for this specific need, you can by the way create your own customization via CSS.

Best,

Simone

I’ve actually tried this, however can’t work out the CCS class or ID – are you able to let me know which class/ID I would need to customise?

Hi there,

for example, in the Photowall page the gutter can be managed by changing the padding value of the ..clayton-collection-albums-photo_wall .evolvethemes-image selector, something like: .clayton-collection-albums-photo_wall .evolvethemes-image { padding: 10px }

Best,

Simone
