Hi! love this product – I understand that the variant files used for the demos are not included because of the upgrades and changes, however just wanted to check in and see if they were updated and in the off chance I could get a copy of the variant files – would be grateful! if not totally understand , but thought I would ask – thank you!
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing Foundry! We’re glad to hear you enjoy using it 
– Unfortunately the .variant files for the home pages are not available.

Is it possible to add more than 4 thumbs underneath the main image on the “slider-thumb-controls” slider without them stacking and creating another row underneath? In other words, making the thumbnails smaller so that more thumbs can be accommodated horizontally.
Hi there,
This is controlled by the CSS, currently they are set at 25% (so 4 across) but you can adjust in custom.css with this rule:
.flex-control-thumbs li{ width: ##%; }
Cheers, Craig
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
No worries
Greetings,
I have a couple questions about the sticky menu. I’m using the one in – page-about-us-1.html
1.) I want the top part of the menu with address and email to stick as well.
2.) I’m only going to have the top part have text on the right side of the menu and I’d like to have my logo cover the top and bottom menu bars on the left side. My client has a large menu and it needs to use the whole space to be able to read it clearly.
Thanks again for your great work!

Would you mind opening a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com? That way we can assist and discuss in better detail.
Thanks, Craig
Hi mediumrare.. first of all great theme!
I am having a little trouble however finding where to add the products as you have done in the demo pages.. there only seems to be a single product block… I realise this is not a e-commerce theme with a backend, but I would like to display some products as you have done in the demo shop pages. Can you please point me in the right direction as to how I could achieve the same layout as you have?
Muchos gracias
Any chance you could answer this question for me?
Hi there Pablo,
We chose not to include the e-commerce layouts inside the builder as we didn’t want to confuse buyers who thought that Variant was a solution for managing their e-commerce dealings. This means that you can still use the layouts in plain HTML – just not inside the builder.
Thanks, Craig
I am a happy customer, great job! The only feature I am missing in Variant builder is the hability to place a single image, such as a banner (could be gif) or just an responsive full with image, simple with or without footer caption. Same with text. We got the Blog pre-made Layout and also Headings but would be nice to implement a box for just single plain text (centered or full) if we want to place a long description for something (with the hability to use bold text to). Greetings from South America!
Hey there,
Glad to hear you’re a happy Foundry customer! Thanks for purchasing and also for sharing this feedback. We’re working on updates that allow for better rich text editing and also block customization so you’d be able to achieve these in the future.
Thanks again, Craig
Dear MediumRare,
Can you tell me when you save a page as UserPage, where in the file system directory does UserPage.html actually get saved?
I noticed in the new updates of Variant, that when the browser is refreshed, UserPage still exists. In the older versions, saved pages were deleted with a browser page refresh.
Thanks!
Hi there,
The pages are saved in browser storage – they aren’t saved to your file system as this the local nature of the builder does not allow for this.
Cheers, Craig
For the new update, what files where updated?
You can see that in the full readout of the changelog in the bottom of the item description here on the Foundry page or in the changelog in the download package.

Greetings,
Great theme! I have a couple questions:
1) I’m using the sticky menu. It disappears and then reappears when the user scrolls down to the next section after the homepage. Where can I change the the height of when it appears? I want it to reappear about 200 pixels earlier.
2.) I’ve created the site to be a one-pager and I’m using scroll-to •
How can I make the page scroll smooth like when the user clicks “top”?
Hi and thanks for purchasing!
1) You can put data-fixed-at=”100” on your nav element for it to be fixed at 100px scroll.
2) Add an anchor element just before the section you want to scroll to: <a id="scroll_to_me" class="in-page-link"></a>
then on the link you using to get to it add class inner-link and link to the anchor like so:
<a class="btn btn-lg btn-filled inner-link" href="#scroll_to_me" target="_self">Specials</a>
NAV ARROWS FOR CAROUSAL
How can we add nav arrows for the clients carousal?
I tried appending classes image-slider slider-all-controls … but no use.
Hi there,
.slider-all-controls should work. Is it possible the icon fonts have not been uploaded correctly? If you’d like to open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com we’d be glad to take a closer look at your site and assist in more detail.
Best, Craig
If I have foundry and would like to buy launchkit, is it possible to merge the builders blocks of launchkit into foundry as well? I like the semi transparent boxed forms with the background in launchkit fitness and want to mix and match the segments of launchkit and foundry as I’m not really good at coding. Also was testing the demo builder, it’s not possible to add additional fields or text for each block? Or say I want accordian instead of tabs how does want do it with the builder?
Hi there,
At this stage – no there is no way to merge the two themes together without including both theme’s CSS. You would need to included each relevant part of the CSS for each theme and this may prove cumbersome.
Cheers, Craig
Hi,
Can I use this product to build client websites for my, already existing, customer base?
Yes, you can if one single license is purchased for each website you create for any client.
Yikes! ... With and active client base of more than 50K and many of them clamoring for an updated site, that would add up too quickly.
Basically, you’ve just added a front-end builder on top of the Bootstrap framework … Best to stick with Blocs app then.
Thnks
how to change custom font
Hi there,
You can include a font from Google Fonts by adding the reference (which you can obtain from fonts.google.com) and add it to the head of your page.
Then you need to change the font family references. You can do this in custom.css where you switch your font on the relevant text elements, for example to change the font on the paragraph element:
p{ font-family: ‘My-Font’, ‘Helvetica’, sans-serif; }
Cheers, Craig
Hello,
How do I add a new “navigation type”? I am not seeing anywhere where I can add or create a new custom navigation bar for my site.
How can I go about changing the primary color on my site?
Hi there,
Are you referring to the WordPress version of Foundry? You’ve made this comment on the HTML version.
Cheers, Craig
HTML Version….
Ok, you’re not appearing as a purchaser. If you have a purchase code you can open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com with your query.
Thanks, Craig
username inside the data attribute
<div class="instafeed" data-user-name="my-account-name">
<ul />
</div>
Hi kevinvato, you may need to revisit the access token creation steps. Please inspect your page and see if there is an error in the response from instagram API. 9/10 times it has something to do with the access token either not being valid or not having appropriate permissions. I’ve answered your ticket on Ticksy also.

Hi. I’ve bought Pivot, Foundry, and Pillar. Love the product. Variant is a great tool. I am a front end developer and throwing blocks up into the builder is such a great way to start projects. Highly recommend!
Please advise: I am trying to switch the Instagram feed in the wigetized footer.
I got the Instagram Access Token and Client ID.
I placed them inside scripts.js
I placed my username inside the data attribute replacing mediumplacing
What else do i need to do? Thanks,
Please see reply below. James.
Hi, is it possible to use the variant to edit the live site? I mean, if I edit the website and save it, it would update the live site? thanks
Hi there,
Not at this stage – the idea of the builder is to produce HTML which you can then upload to your site. There is no live refresh / deployment functionality.
Cheers, Craig
thanks. Do you plan on having this functionality?
We would love to have this functionality, but it is a complex trick to achieve when running from a local source in a browser. At this time we are working on fleshing out other useful functionality that we feel is important.

I repurchased the Foundry HTML5 template (ver. 1.9.8) hoping the new version had resolved the issues with the ”...portfolio-single-5.html” template. In Chrome and Firefox, on a PC, the third image does not display, it gets bumped to the next line leaving just the gray background color. The template seems to work fine in IE on a PC. There doesn’t appear to be any issues with Chrome, FF or Safari on a Mac computer. You sent me some custom css code back in July, but no longer works. Thoughts?
Thank you.

Hey, awesome theme Is it possible to use the portfolio with the filters and combine it with the lightbox? I have several pics in my portfolio and I would like to be able to click on them so the lightbox would open and I could see a larger image. I don’t wanna use the lightbox version because it doesn’t come with the filters.
Thank you,
Sabina
Also since I am using several pics in the portfolio the parallax does not seem to work anymore. Before the section of the portfolio it works. But after that everything seems to be shifted. I try to figure out what it was, it seems like it can not handle the amount of pics. As long as I am just using a few it works. I am currently using 36 pics in 4 columns.
I am still working on it but here is the url so you can have a look: www.sabina-guenther.com
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing! Would you mind opening a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com? We handle our support there where we can share code snippets, files etc.
Thanks again, Craig
Greetings. I’ve used BlueHost before. Do you recommend a specific web host company?
Let me rephrase, for this specific template.
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing!
We don’t recommend any specific company. Just ensure you use a hosting provider that allows PHP 5 or greater for the mail form functionality to work without issue.
Beyond that this is just standard HTML so there are no special requirements you should need.
Cheers, Craig
Hi I have no coding experience. Can I create a simple one page site with this template?. thank you
Absolutely. Anything you can make in the builder can be up on your site in minutes
