Hi – thanks for the pixfields patch, however there is now a new vunerability to this theme (and your Rosa theme)

Data from an attacker could be interpreted as code by site visitors’ web browsers. The ability to run code in another site visitors’ browser can be abused to steal information, or modify site configuration.

Original 3rd-party’s report on the vulnerability:

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-40205 https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/8f5feace-8bca-459b-9321-4cceb13c7bf8

Can you let us know when this is patched?

For Vimeo in the Hero area, is there a way to remove the initial pause button which appears on load and then disappears?

Hey, David!

I appreciate your attention to detail and understand your desire to streamline the presentation of the video on your site. However, the initial pause button that appears upon loading in the Vimeo player’s Hero area is a built-in feature of the Vimeo player itself, and not something that can be adjusted directly within the MIES theme.

Stay well,
George

The theme is exploitable as it has a vulnerable version of the PixFields plugin.

Please let us know when this has ben patched. Thanks.

Hello!

You can access and download the patched version of PixFields 0.7.1 directly from this URL:  https://github.com/pixelgrade/pixfields/releases/download/0.7.1/pixfields-0.7.1.zip

Note that there is a newer version of the theme called MIES LT. This is a new theme based on the initial version of Mies which is only available on our website at http://pixelgrade.com/themes/mies-lt

Although they share design aesthetics, their underlying functionalities are different. Mies LT is optimized for WordPress’s new block editor, Gutenberg, making it both responsive and Gutenberg-optimized. Here’s a glimpse of how the Mies LT editor looks and functions: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/53944294/184300811-0ce566cc-a787-49ad-9b75-aea6945b6493.mp4

Stay well, George

Is there a way to change the entire header background color once the logo changes from light to dark?

Hello, David! This option is only available in the newer version called Mies LT. This is a new theme based on the initial version of Mies which is only available on our website at http://pixelgrade.com/themes/mies-lt

Hello there, I am not 100% sure, but within last update something has happened with order of layers. When the footer is visible, opening the menu displays its content only partially, the footer just covers bottom part of it. It is also active in demo version. Could you please check and solve that. Thank You!

Dear,

Few pre-sale questions: 1) Do you still support and update this theme? 2) Do you have a blog version with a right side bar? 3) Is it possible to hide the filters and just show the projects? See page: https://demos.pixelgrade.com/mies/work/ 4) Is it possible to show related news underneath a news detail page? See page: https://demos.pixelgrade.com/mies/san-francisco-museum-modern-art/ 5) Is there a way to easily add blocks to pages like ‘3 Latest news items’, 2 column text blocks and copy parts from one page to another?

Thank you.

Hey!

#1. Do you still support and update this theme?

Yes, definitely. You can get an idea about how often do we release updates for Mies, by checking the full changelog: http://wupdates.com/mies-changelog

#2. Do you have a blog version with a right sidebar?

Hmm, I’ve just checked this and it seems there’s a but. You have the option to add widgets on the post sidebar, but currently, the sidebar is not displayed. I need to add this to our Issues Tracker List so my dev teammates will investigate it further.

#3. Is it possible to hide the filters and just show the projects? See page: https://demos.pixelgrade.com/mies/work/

Yes. With just a piece of custom CSS, you can do that. I will help you if needed.

#4. Is it possible to show related news underneath a news detail page? See page: https://demos.pixelgrade.com/mies/san-francisco-museum-modern-art/

The theme itself doesn’t have that option, but I guess you can use alternatives like Related posts from Jetpack, for example.

#5. Is there a way to easily add blocks to pages like ‘3 Latest news items’, 2 column text blocks, and copy parts from one page to another?

Please note that the Mies theme doesn’t come with Gutenberg. It uses the Classic Editor. However, I have a feeling that I don’t totally understand what you want to achieve. Maybe you can give me a few more details about this one?

Is it possible to make it so the images in the slideshow aren’t skewed at different resolutions? Currently if you expand the width of the browser on hi-res monitors it will stretch the image out and if you make the browser narrow it makes the image tall and narrow instead of filling the space proportionally.Thanks.

Hey,

To understand how sliders work with Mies theme, please check this out: https://pixelgrade.com/docs/mies/pages-and-content/projects/managing-sliders/

Give it a try and let me know how it is.

In case you didn’t figure it out, please use the Theme Help button from your WordPress Dashboard to open a support ticket, and we’ll take it from there.

Thank you,

Hello, I ‘ve noticed a couple of issues since the last Wordpress update:

First, i am getting a redirect error when trying to log into the dashboard. As a troubleshooting solution, when deactivating all plug-ins i can log in successfully. The only installed plug-ins are the themes built in plug-ins. Secondly, content doesn t load correctly in Safari browsers. I’ve noticed this particularly with Safari 13.0.3. but also with newer versions. Are you going to release an update to ensure compatibility with WP 5.6 Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I’m sorry for the delayed response due to the weekend.

We are aware of this bug. It came out after upgrading to the latest WordPress 5.6 version.

We’ll fix it for the next theme update, but if you can’t wait, you can try downgrading to a previous WordPress version. You can do that using a plugin like this one.

Hang tight,
Alexandru

Hello, I am trying to update some stuff on a client website that uses this theme. First off I tried to update the theme but it failed. I went into the theme options > utilities but I can’t find a way to get the secret api mentioned there on envato to be able to update within wordpress. So how do I do that? And another api issue I have is where do I add my Google maps api key in the Wordpress theme? As the map is no longer showing on the contact page

I’m still waiting on a reply to this please?

Hey there,

I am sorry for the delayed response.

I’ve sent a message via email with a fix, please check out your Inbox.

Stay safe,
Alexandru

Cheers,
Alexandru

Hello ;

Do you suggest any image size of the photos in this theme ? Your demo content 2000×1333 is not suitable ?

Hey,

There’s no optimal image size for the theme, since it’s fully responsive. You need to keep a balance between the images quality and the site speed. If you’re interested in finding more about website performance — How to focus your efforts around website performance

Best,
Alin
