How can I insert two buttons into the menu that also show on mobile? I would like those buttons to replace the search bar.
Or maybe how do I add it in addition to the search bar. I really need two buttons there and for them to be visible on mobile.
Hello,
Thanks for purchasing!
Open up a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com with an example of what you mean and we can assist you further.
Thanks, Craig
I posted a support ticket a couple of hours ago so hopefully you can help with this.
Got it, thanks – will be back with a reply soon
Did you see the ticket I posted 24 hours ago? Ticket: #386246 I really need help with this.
Yes, responded on Ticksy 
Hi! I bought Machine a couple of hours ago, and I think it is awesome. A couple of suggestions
- I couldn’t find an “undo” button, maybe it isn’t or I couldn’t find it. I deletes accidentally my custom navbar twice today 
, each time I started from 0.
- It would be awesome if you can add in the future a “full social block”. I mean, one for add nice facebook/twitter/instagram to share (like this http://www.sharethis.com/ but with a better design like all the blocks of your builder :D)
Anyway, this page builder is great! Congrats and thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
There is currently no undo function but you can export periodically as a .variant file so if something goes wrong you can restore everything to a previous point in time.
The full social block does seem like a good idea – we’ll keep it in mind for future updates

Hi,
I was contemplating between PIVOT and MACHINE. PIVOT seems to offer more than MACHINE…
May I know what is the difference between the two?
Well, I am basically wanting to create a user-friendly, responsive, SEO-friendly HTML site. I know basic HTML but am by no means great at it (that is why I was drooling at the sight of the PAGE-BUILDER).
By SEO friendly, I mean it must come with really clean codes and be light weight in terms of loading time. By the way, will the PAGE BUILDER create confusing back-end codes that affects SEO?
Can someone assist?

Hey! Sorry your Ticksy is not available at the moment. Was wondering if you could submit a support ticket to woothemes (since we don’t have a purchase code) about the flexslider issue with mobile touch vertical movement.
http://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/requests/newBasically, if you touch the screen and do any vertical movement (swiping down or up) it stops the slides from continuing to cycle.
Thanks!
Ticksy is back up now – endless problems lately! – answered your question on there
Hello. What line of css code did you change to fix menu bug in Firefox?
Adding overflow: hidden to .main-container should fix it.
James
When I hover over the menu appear on the distortion of a second. When the menu opens distortions are present too.
Are you seeing the distortion in Variant? if so, this is normal and you should not see any movement in the final HTML version. James
No, i see it in the final html (firefox only).
Hey there,
Would you mind showing us a link to your site so we can take a closer look and provide you with a more specific fix?
Thanks, Craig
Hi, I tried menu (NAV-1) and it’s not a STICKY in mobile version. When I scroll down menu is still fixed on the top.
How can I fix it?
Thank you
Hey there,
Add this in your custom.css:
@media (max-width: 767px) .nav-1 { position: fixed !important; }

Hi,
Machine is a very clean, very fast loading template. We always receive good feedback about the cleanliness of the HTML and Variant does not add any inline syles at all. From Variant, you only get clean, readable HTML.
Hope this helps your decision!

hi, i bought the theme but i wondering why in this theme the fullscreen size doesnt work like the other themes, seems like the max width is 1600px. How can i fix it?
This is just how Machine is designed. The boxed elements look bad at very wide screen sizes so it has been restricted. You can expand the max width if you wish by changing .main-container class in CSS to have a larger max-width to 100%
<div class="mobile-toggle">
<div class="bar-1" />
<div class="bar-2" />
</div>
Something like this?
<div class="mobile-toggle">
<div class="bar-1" />
<div class="bar-2" />
<div class="bar-3" />
</div>
Just wondering where or what I’d need to edit to achieve this?
Thank you
You would have to edit this in CSS and HTML. You’re free to add it yourself but we can’t support these design edits.
Will do. Thanks!
Awesome site guys!
Quick question. In the simple text slider, when the browser goes smaller than certain width (tablet/phone) the navigation dots at the bottom disappear. Is there a way to have them always active?

Hey there,
Glad you’re enjoying Machine!
You can add this in your custom css file to make them appear:
@media all and (max-width: 767px){ .flex-control-nav{ display: block; } }
Thanks guys! Spot on!
hey there, I’m having an issue setting up the contact form. Can you check out http://mattsingletondesign.com/DRU and let me know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!
Hi,
It looks like you are trying to use the Medium Rare server as your sending server which we do not support. You need to send using an email account that you already own – instead of mail.mediumra.re for the hostname, use the client’s hosting server to send the email. To do this, set up an email account on the client’s hosting server and use those details in mail.php as described in the docs.
James
Hi there ,
Random question, is it possible to have a transparent background behind text on the hero slider?
like the style used behind the register part on the meetup demo site http://www.mediumra.re/meetup/index.html ?
If not, no worries
Cheers !
Hey there,
You would need to wrap your text in a div, then make the div display: inline-block and give it a background in the CSS like backgroundL rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
That would put a background around the text only, is this what you mean>?
Hi,
First off this is a perfect theme. My one concern is that I am having trouble with the mail.php form. Is there a way you can help me figure this out? I keep getting a bounce back error message when I test the email. This is the most important part of the website for my clients.
Thank you.
This is urgent so the sooner the better. Here is a link > http://antwi.co/contact.html
Hi, it looks like you have entered a wrong email address in mail.php. If you have not already done so, please open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com and provide your hosting details so I can take a look. Tickets are private so it is safe to do so. James
Hello,
First off, GREAT JOB! however, im having difficulty exporting, according to the documentation i should save the page first and then hover over the page title and click on the green download button, unfortunately when i do hover over the page title the button doesn’t show up. Any ideas on how i can fix this issue?
here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/opwqz6kjda3tses/variant_export.png?dl=0
Hello, glad you’re enjoying machine! If you use Safari, you won’t see the export button to download a .variant file as Safari doesn’t support this. You can get your html by pressing ‘get HTML’ and copying out the code to a text editor. Then save the file as a .html file and you’ll have a page. If you need to export as a .variant file you will need to be using Chrome or Firefox.
Cheers, James
This theme is perfect, great work! A theme that contains the pivot blocks and machine would be absolutely great! Or is it possible if i purchase Pivot and combine these?
Hey there,
Thanks for the compliment and for purchasing!
There isn’t anyway to merge the products as they are built separately.
Is it possible to build a page, save it, make some HTML changes on my own (with Notepad++ for example) and then import it back to Variant to continue editing it?
Thanks!
Hey there,
No, once the page is exported as HTML your can’t reimport it as HTML, I would reccomend editing the relevant block of HTML inside the builder.html and then saving that. That way your changes will take affect when you add the section to the page in Vairant
Thanks for the information. Another question here:
Is it possible to format the text (bold, italics, size, tags) within the builder? This would be a great feature.
Thanks again!
Hey there, not as yet – but we are making headway on this feature
Thanks a lot for the answer. It sounds very exiting. Do you have an approximate release date for that feature?
Not yet. Watch this space though.
Support Update
Purchase validation problems have now been resolved – please head tomediumrare.ticksy.com and submit your support tickets now!

Is it possible to add own video’s without the color overlay??
Hey there,
Yes you can remove the class ‘gradient-overlay’ from the ‘video-holder’ div
Ok, great!! Thanks for the quick answer. Where can I find that line?? In which file?
Found it!
Glad you got it sorted
Does anyone else experience the scroll not to be smooth in chrome when the hero slider is present, i recently purchased the theme and when i open index.html in chrome, the scrolling is real jittery and its only on the pages that have the hero slider. Im on a windows 8 i7 machince with 16gb of ram using chrome Version 40.0.2214.111 m which i believe is the latest version
Hi there,
We’re seeing acceptable framerates on Chrome, Windows. Did you see this on the demo as well?
Hi, pre-sales question:
Really like the project planner form. Would you be able to assist me to arrange the Name, Email, Note fields so it would appear as a 2 column Name & Email fields then a single column Text Area under it?
Thank you!

Replied to this one via email
Thanks!
