Discussion on Fashionista - Responsive WordPress Blog & Shop Theme

Hi,

This particular theme doesn’t have native support for self hosted videos on the homepage. However, our Total theme (which is a multi-purpose theme) does and you can see a similar masonry demo here – http://totaltheme.wpengine.com/mason/

This theme uses featured media at the top and creates auto excerpts so inserting it into the content won’t display it on the homepage unless you tweak things to display the full post content on the homepage, which for most people isn’t ideal. The whole purpose of how the theme functions is so that the media can be above the title/text. So the video would be added via the media field – https://wpexplorer-themes.com/total/docs/adding-videos-to-posts/ – and it supports embeded and self-hosted videos.

You can visit the theme page here – https://themeforest.net/item/total-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/6339019 – and while it is a more robust theme if you are looking for a simple blog you can always disable anything you won’t be using to keep the theme fast and optimized while still allowing you the ability to enable stuff if you do want it in the future.

Hi Pieter,

The theme has it’s own version of the plugin which I highly modified to fix a bunch of bugs in the original plugin and better optimize it (I should rename it actually to avoid confusion). So the plugin version you need is the one inside the theme which you should be able to upload via Appearance > Install Plugins. Here it is as well for you: https://cl.ly/kRB1

ps: I saw you opened a ticket as well and I replied there as well but it appears my email response may have been rejected by your server

Hi Pieter,

Thanks for the heads up, this should be an easy fix

Can you try extracting this folder – https://cl.ly/kkPr – and updating via FTP/SFTP inside the theme’s main folder? It should fix things up.

Hi,

You can enable the sidebar via the Customizer settings under Appearance > Customize > Theme Settings > Layouts.

See here: https://cl.ly/mC56

You can also go to the “Entries” tab and change the columns to 1 column if you prefer – https://cl.ly/mC5s

You need to make sure your theme is up to date though to access these settings since it was updated recently with these new settings.

ps: I noticed your support license has expired, if at this time you can renew your support license I would really appreciate it. You can also purchase a new copy of the theme for another site/client and it will also renew your support. The theme is currently 50% off so you will save a lot renewing right now, the sale does end tomorrow though!

Hi there,

I actually just responded to you regarding this via the support ticket site please feel free to write back there for any follow questions, thanks

And actually if more people request it I’ll go a head and add a built-on option to the theme and update it so you can switch out the black with 1 click but currently no one has requested this feature yet.
