I just bought and installed the theme, i was Going to set it up with the demo (Creative) but when i try to Change anything and preview the website – its stuck in the loading screen/symbol. When i look at it on a phone i can see in the bottum that The website is visible underneeth the loading screen.

Do anyone Know a fix for that?

Which version of WordPress are you using? Experience is an older theme that is untested with the versions after WordPress 5.3 so it’s likely a compatibility issue. The theme is only kept on the marketplace so that previous buyers continue to have access to the files.

Can you post a link to your website so I can take a look at the page errors? That should give us some idea of what the problem could be. If we can’t find a simple solution to the issue you’re having we would be happy to offer you a refund on your purchase. Just submit a refund request through your Envato account and we’ll process it as soon as possible.

Hi Eugene Thanks for the reply. And for the service – I didnt know it was an old theme. But I will prefer keeping the Theme if theres a simple solution as you mentioned.

- I have the Wordpress verision: 5.6 And my website it: www.tobiashorvath.dk

Again thanks for the help.

I have a pre-buy question. Can the menu smaller instead of full page?

Hi,

The full screen menu is the only menu style included in the theme. This theme is also several years old and there are no plans to release any more updates. Although it will work with the current version of WordPress it does not include newer WordPress features.

- Eugene

Hoping you can make this theme compatible with WooCommerce please.

Hi, There are no plans to add WooCommerce compatibility to Experience.

For SEO purposes, it’s not a good thing to have more than one H1 tag on a page. With the way your Sliders are configured, each Slider puts in an H1 tag, whch means that 3 Slides gives three H1 tags….no good for SEO. How can we change the Slider H1’s to H2’s?

The page header slider template file can be found at templates/page-header-slider.php.

Create a templates directory in your child theme and copy the file over. You can then change the h1 tags to what ever you prefer in the child theme version of the file.

The sliders in the slider page builder element already use H2 tags for the title text so they don’t need to be changed.

I’ve just transferred my new site from the dev URL to the main URL…how would I go about changing my license with you accordingly?

There’s no need to change any licenses for the theme. You will have to contact the page builder plugin support team to find out how to transfer a licence between WordPress installations, if it is at all necessary.

Thanks…already did that one of course. Great support by the way, about to give you a 5.

Thanks. We really appreciate the feedback!

- Eugene

There’s a delay between Sliders where it appears to be blank space. Any way to reduce or eliminate that blank space?

Hi,

The fade in animation is by design, but you can remove it by adding this custom CSS in the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.flexslider-big .background-holder,
.flexslider-big .vc_parallax-inner {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

.flexslider .exp-flexbox-inner .section-header-content {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}

- Eugene

Thanks, that did it!

Just bought your theme and installed it with v1.2 – unfortunately, the Theme Options link in the WordPress Menu that I was expecting is not viewable…anywhere. Please advise on how to access Theme Options properly.

Hi,

Since version 1.2 the separate theme options page powered by Redux plugin has been removed and all the theme options are now included in the WordPress Customizer (Appearance > Customize) via the Kirki plugin. In the Customizer click “Experience Theme” in the list to view the different option categories.

If the theme options are not visible in the Customizer double check that you have the Kirki plugin installed by going to Appearance > Install Plugins and checking the recommended plugins list and their individual status.

- Eugene

Thanks very much, that clears it up.

Hi there, is there a way to make the slider thinner? I want to use some professional photos I have but they pixelate every time I load them up, so wondering if I make the slider thinner will they appear better.

Also how do I make it responsive? When I look on Mobile it just shows the middle section like a thumbnail.

Thanks

So if I enlarge the images to that size they should be ok?

EDIT – The original images are actually 1920×1080. Do you have an idea on what the sizes should actually be so I can get new images made?

It is recommend that you used images at leas 1440×900 but 1920×1080 is fine as long as the images file size isn’t too large.

The image of the women in a pink shirt (http://pbpconsultancy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/print-bl-318.jpg) is 1024×512 and is pixelated because it’s being stretch to fill the slider. For this image, I would recommend uploading a larger image.

The second image is the correct size but even in the original image the photograph that’s used looks pixelated (http://pbpconsultancy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/im-fargo-2.jpg). This is because the original image is low quality because it was the photography was taken in low light. The only option to improve it would be to find a clearer image.

Hey, Love the Experience theme edition so far but I have changed the accent colour in my Colour Scheme 1 and all other areas from the black to pink, and set the header to Colour Scheme 1 but when ever I visit the site the navigation/footer area is still black not the pink I have set it to. In Customise it is pink but live on the web and in front end editor of the visual composer page builder I bought.

I left it 24-48hrs thinking it might just be a caching issue but still no luck. Am I missing a setting somewhere??

Website is pbpconsultancy.co.uk

EDIT: sorry I miss read your message. I thought you were refering to the background colour not the accent colour.

It might be that the CSS is not being correctly generated. Try changing the accent colour to a different colour and saving. Then, change it back to the pink you want and save again.

Failing that please email us login details via the contact form on our themeforest profile page so we can take a closer look.

- Eugene

It is actually a few areas but mainly the accent colour. I changed it to my brand pink but live on the web it is still the black/blue used in the original preset. I ended up coding the navigation background to pink but wondered if I am missing a setting somewhere other than theme – styling that I need to change the accent colour.

Thanks, I will try that.

Hello,

I have a question. Is it possible to disable the fluid header that slides in when you scroll down?

You can add it to either:
  1. The child theme style.css using the editor in the WordPress admin dashboard.
  2. The “Additional CSS” textarea in the WP Customizer.

It doesn’t make a massive difference where it goes but the child theme style.css would be the “proper” place to put it.

- Eugene

Hm, I see how it works. But I want the site title/logo to move along together with the menu. So the black bar has to be transparant, is that possible?

To remove the background colour from the site header remove the line I gave you before and replace it wit this:

.site-header:after { display: none; }

Hello colleagues. Tell me where to find or download XML demo content files for this template experience?

The separate demo xml files can be found in the demos directory of the complete theme package.

You can download the main demo here: http://www.websitesmash.com/downloads/experience-demo-content/experience.xml

I want to buy this theme, but I need to know if there will be the support I need to leave the site in a nice way. Would it be possible to leave exactly as the default template? examples of these links http://oi64.tinypic.com/34ew3v7.jpg and http://oi63.tinypic.com/2aew70n.jpg . I want it just the way it is, I want to change only content (writings) and photos that you mentioned are in the copyright. I was interested in the layout and the way it works.

Hi,

Yes the theme package includes separate xml files for each of the demos (except for the pink and purple demo, however we are happy to send you that one too).

As mentioned in the item description you will require the Visual Composer plugin which is sold separately. After installing the theme, Visual Composer plugin and importing the demo content you will have the same structure as the demo but without any images or videos, so you will need to go through each page and add your own images.

If you need any guidance figuring things out simply post your questions here in the item’s comments page and we’ll be more than happy to help.

- Eugene

Hi, I nee know if I will have the all templates demos. How do it work?

Hi,

Yes the theme includes a separate xml file for each of the theme demos that are imported to your WordPress installation using the standard WordPress Import plugin. Please be aware that the xml files do not include any of the images you see in the demos due to copyright restrictions. You will want to use your own images that are relevant to your business or organisation anyway,

- Eugene

Please help, i am new user and bought this theme. but after installation the theme i could not find demo file. please send link or xml files. so i can use the experience theme easily. please do support me asap. as i have a client ready.

Hello,

The demo xml files can be found in the “demos” directory of the complete theme package. You can download the complete theme package from your Themeforest account’s “downloads” page.

There are separate xml files for each of the demos in the live preview. Please also be aware that the images shown in the theme demos are not included with the demo xml files due to licensing and copyright restrictions.

Tested with PHP 7?

Hi,

As of this morning all our live previews have been updated to PHP7. We didn’t expect to find any issues with the theme after updating and so far we have not seen any.

- Obi

Great thanks, and out of curiosity how long do you plan on supporting and updating the theme before it’s end of life?

Thank you

There are no plans to discontinue support for the theme any time soon.

I’ve created a four column row in the Experience theme with social media icons in each column. I’d like this to be a footer for all the pages. See.. http://mpressive.co.uk/subdomains/new/

It appears on all the pages but it won’t appear on the posts page or the portfolio page because that only uses the standard widgets footer.

Is there a way to add custom footers to the theme so they automatically appear on every page?

Hi,

If you are adding the icons to absolutely every page of your site you would be better off just hard code them into a customized version of the footer.php template file placed in you child theme.

As far as I know there is no way to use the Visual Composer page builder on archive pages but that is a question for the plugin’s developer.

- Eugene

Hi, I’m Working with your theme “Experience”

I need to include a “stars” parallax effect to the main page of my website. The effect should be something like that: http://jnicol.github.io/particleground/

I found this extension that could help: https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-particleground/13297387

My question is: is it possible to configure thisparallax effetc to my main page: https://dev.footballdreams-china.com/ ????

Kind regards,

Hi,

You need to enqueue the plugin JavaScript file and your custom JavaScript file not jQuery itself as that is already added by the theme:
function my_enqueue_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'plugin-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/plugin_script.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/custom_script.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_scripts' );

The code I provided before will add the particles to the page header section where the page title is displayed (where you currently have the background image.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.section-header').particleground({
        dotColor: '#ff0000',
        lineColor: '#ff0000'
    });
});

For more specific help with wp_enqueue_scripts I recommend asking on the WordPress support forums: https://wordpress.org/support/

For help with the JavaScript plugin I recommend using the plugins support channels: https://github.com/jnicol/particleground/issues

Or you can bypass all the custom coding and try the WordPress plugin you linked to in your first post: https://codecanyon.net/item/wp-particleground/13297387

I have no idea how the WordPress plugin works so any questions about that will have to sent to the plugin developer.

- Obi

Hi,

Thank you very much, finally it worked.

Now I’m having problems with CSS. I’m using this code: $(’.section-header’).particleground(); And I filtered only to apply the code on main page.

But the .section-header-content is going down, instead of being over the stars effect.

I tried to change CSS position from relative to fixed, and tried to center it, but nothing worked fine.

Any help?

Thank you very much,

Maiol Xercavins

Try using .section-header-wrapper in the JavaScript instead of .section-header so that the background fits better:

 $('.section-header-wrapper').particleground({
Than give the background absolute positioning so that it is behind the content:
.section-header-wrapper .pg-canvas { position: absolute; }

hi i would know how it’s possible manage multilanguage.

the only way i see it’s insert inside menu the choice of the language but in this case the visitors of the site have not the info that it’s possible do it.

there is other way to do it? (flags near search and menu icon?)

thank you for the answer Max

Hi,

When the WPML plugin is active on your website the language menu automatically appears in the site header next to the search and navigation menu icon (Example: http://oi63.tinypic.com/alm3p3.jpg).

You can add the language flag to the text by copying and modifying the experience_get_active_lang() function from the theme functions.php in your child theme’s functions.php.

Example, incomplete code:
$output = '<span class="language-toggle">'. esc_html( $l['language_code'] ) .'<img src="'. esc_url( $l['language_flag_url'] ) .'" alt="'. esc_attr( $l['native_name'] ) .'" /></span>';

I’ve added a custom pin to my Google map but the pin is not displaying. When I remove the custom pin the normal map pin displays okay.

In the console I’m getting this error…

Hi,

There’s a typo in the experience visual composer extension plugin. Here is a link to an updated version of the plugin. Remove the current version from your WordPress installation and install the version linked below:

http://www.websitesmash.com/downloads/js_composer_experience.zip

Do I just deactivate the’ Experience Visual Composer Extension’ plugin then click ‘Add New’ and select the file you sent me?

Completely deactivate and uninstall the version of the plugin you have now and then install the new version. We’ll be posting an update of the theme itself in a few hours that will include the new version of the plugin and prompt you to update.

Hello! Some time ago I acquired the theme Experience, it works really well, but it have a problem with the home page hearder on tablet. On my page there are a video background for computers reading and so a photo for mobile devices. The problem is that on the tablet the video doesn’t work and i can’t change it for a photo. Could you be so kind to help me a little. I only need to know how can i put a picture instead of youtube capture on the tablet header Thank you in advance

Kind regards

Maria Consuelo

Hi,

Whether or not the video is shown is determined by the devices resolution. The reason you’re seeing the YouTube player instead of the an image is because the device has a resolution larger that what the theme considers a mobile device.

The responsive layout is managed by media queries in the css/responsive.css stylesheet. You can adjust the media queries in the responsive stylesheet to include larger devices but there is no catch all way of excluding tablets as the definition of a “tablet” is becoming harder and harder to define.
