Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in this theme and for your question!

Unfortunately, this theme does not have this layout option for the homepage

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for purchasing this theme! I’m sorry you didn’t like this theme…

Today, I already recommended that you look at the theme settings in the documentation, where you could find out before buying which settings this theme has and which does not. The documentation also has all the links to the fonts used, which you may have checked before purchasing. Also in the documentation there is information about why fonts cannot be changed in this theme (Documentation > Popular Questions > Question 8. Can I change fonts?; link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#q-8-can-i-change-fonts ). All this information is available to everyone for review. It’s a pity you didn’t open the documentation…

If you don’t like this theme, then you can request a refund.

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Thanks for your support, Alexey. I think the cause is in themeforest policies when they don’t allow you to put the google font on your theme, and you have tried putting 2 types of fonts in it (Serif work-well with Vietnamese) . I know a little bit of coding so I’ll do it myself. But I still think you should add a function to change the font size. I quite satisfied with your theme so I will not refund, but I will not delete the comment for people who are not use English, know about this issue. Best regard!

Hello,

Yes, of course, I will consider adding settings for changing the size of fonts. However, you can change the font size on a single page using the settings for blocks (Block Editor): Select the desired block in the Block Editor > Block Settings > Typography > Size; Note: Some blocks in the block editor do not have a setting to change the font size. You can also change the font size for a specific element using additional CSS code. Quick example: Increasing the font size for a post excerpt on the home and archive pages:

/* post excerpt: new font size */
.bwp-post-excerpt {
  font-size: 16px; /* default: 15px */
  line-height: 1.75; /* increase line spacing for a better look, default: 1.7 */
}

All additional CSS code can be added to the theme settings: Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

Now I want to write a few words about fonts in this theme… When ThemeForest didn’t have font requirements, I added font changing functionality to all my themes. For example, the Ammi and Melissa themes have the functionality to change fonts. My other themes that are no longer available on ThemeForest also had these features (Bellis, Brisa, Hiroto, and Zefir). However, my last two themes lost this feature due to new font requirements (link: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000479946-WordPress-Theme-Coding-Requirements#h_8953617582691522300391297 ). So unfortunately I can’t fix it. Also, all of my past themes, except for the last two (Orin and Nimbo), had settings for changing font sizes. And it’s not just one or two settings, it’s about 25 font size settings (for example, the Melissa theme has 26 font size and style settings and 7 font family selection settings). However, looking at how users of these themes use these settings, I have noticed that very few users use these settings (possibly 10-20 percent of the total number of users). For the rest, most of the users, these settings were not interesting, and they did not use them. Since the presence of a large number of settings complicates the theme, and also slows down its work to some extent due to the large amount of code to be executed, it turns out that for the majority of users these settings were not just useless, but even “harmful”. Also, a greater number of settings means an increase in the cost of the theme. Since I have to find some balance when creating a theme (avoid creating an expensive theme and add only those settings that most users use), font style and size settings have not been added to my latest themes (Orin and Nimbo). I want to say that my assumption of 10-20 percent of users who need these settings is currently correct for the Orin theme. This theme will be 1 year old in a few days, and so far you are the second user to write about the lack of font size settings. However, I will consider adding these settings, but I cannot make any guarantees.

Thank you again for using this theme!

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for your interest!

By default, a featured image has a link that opens a pop-up window with that image. However, this is one of the options that can be changed. In theme settings you can change the link to “Link to post”: WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Blog Posts > Posts > Featured Image: Link Type > Link to post.

P.S. You can see all the theme settings in the documentation: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#theme-customization-section (Documentation > Theme Customization).

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in this theme and for your question!

Yes, of course, you can use your logo with this theme. I will say more – absolutely every WordPress theme supports custom logos.

The Orin theme supports two types of logos: Text logo (default) and Image logo. You can choose the type of logo in the theme options: Appearance > Customize > Header And Text Logo > Logo > Logo Type: Text or Image. Depending on the selected logo type, you can set your logo in the following settings:

• Text logo: “Appearance > Customize > Header And Text Logo > Logo > Logo Text”;
• Image: “Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Logo” and “Appearance > Customize > Site Identity > Logo For Dark Style (optional)”.

You can see all available theme settings in the documentation: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#theme-customization-section (Documentation > Theme Customization).

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for purchasing this theme!

1. Homepage. To get started, you need to have more than eight posts on your site. Then, as the documentation says, you need to display your posts on your homepage: WordPress Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > Your latest posts. When you do this, you need to set the following settings:

- Change the number of posts displayed on the homepage (8 posts): WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most 8 posts.

- Then turn on the slider in the theme settings: Appearance > Customize > Homepage Slider > Slider Display Settings > Show homepage slider. You can learn more about the slider from the documentation: Documentation > Creating Blog Posts > Homepage Slider (link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#creating-blog-posts-homepage-slider ); Documentation > Theme Customization > 3. Homepage Slider (link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#customize-homepage-slider ). Also, in the slider settings you can write a title and description for your slider: Appearance > Customize > Homepage Slider > Slider Section: Title And Subtitle.

- Then you need to resize the first post: Appearance > Customize > Blog Posts > Posts > Increase The First Post In The List Of Posts > Only on the homepage with your latest posts. You can also write your own title and description for the posts section: Appearance > Customize > Blog Posts > Posts Section: Title And Subtitle.

- The last step is to add widgets to the footer and to the hidden sidebar. You can do this on the Widgets page: Appearance > Widgets. More information about widgets is available in the documentation: Documentation > Using Widgets; link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#widgets-section . I am using the following widgets in the demo:

- Footer 1: Orin: Popular Posts;

- Footer 2: Orin: Random Posts;

- Footer 3: Contact Form 7 (This is a third party plugin);

- Hidden sidebar: Orin: List Of Posts, Orin: Popular Posts, Orin: Random Posts, and Orin: Social Links.

For more information about theme settings, see the documentation: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/ – I strongly recommend to study it, as the documentation contains answers to 90% of all arising questions.

2. Sidebar. This theme only has four widget areas: “Sidebar” (this is a hidden sidebar located on the right side of the page), “Footer: Left Column”, “Footer: Center Column”, and “Footer: Right Column”. Each of these areas is available on absolutely all pages of your site. As I wrote above, you can add widgets on the Widgets page: Appearance > Widgets.

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Thank you so very much Alexey. It is a beautiful theme. Do you think there is any way to add more social share icon? Perhaps in one of your next updates? Like, email post and pinterest?

Hello, I’m glad you liked this theme!

About social share buttons. Social share buttons are an additional feature of this theme. Also, social buttons are not included in the theme – this is one of the functions of the plugin with a set of additional features to this theme (Orin Additional Features Plugin). Unfortunately, I have no plans to expand the number of these buttons… If you need more social share buttons, there are a lot of third party plugins with more social buttons. In this case, I recommend hiding the social buttons from the “Orin Additional Features” plugin and then finding a plugin that suits you with more social buttons. You can disable all social share buttons in the settings:

- Appearance > Customize > Single Pages > Single Post Page > Show social share buttons (Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit) > Off;

- Appearance > Customize > Single Pages > Regular Page > Show social share buttons (Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit) > Off.

Hope my answer helped you.

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you for your interest in this theme!

You can display your advertisements using standard WordPress widgets (for example: Custom HTML). The following areas are available for widgets in this theme: “Sidebar” (this is a hidden sidebar located on the right side of the page), “Footer: Left Column”, “Footer: Center Column”, and “Footer: Right Column”. You can also try using third-party plugins to display ads. Unfortunately, this theme does not have its own ad display mechanism, and also this theme does not have special areas for displaying ad units.

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in this theme and for your kind words – I am very glad that you like this theme!

To be honest, I don’t know how to answer your question…

If you want a simple theme that only displays your posts, and you like this theme, then this is the one for you!

If you need to display additional content that is not related to posts, then in this case I do not recommend this theme. For example, you need to have a homepage with your content and a separate page with your latest posts. Since the Orin theme was designed to display the latest posts only on the homepage, creating a separate homepage and a separate page with posts will be problematic… If this is what you need, then I do not recommend this theme.

I also recommend that you read the documentation, as it will help you make your choice. Link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/

Hello, Thank you for your interest in this theme! I’m also glad that you liked this theme

1. Colors. Yes, in this theme you can change the colors when you hover over the links. This can be done in the theme settings here: Appearance > Customize > Styles And Cookies > Colors: “Light Style: Hover/Active Color” and “Dark Style: Hover/Active Color” (link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#customize-colors-and-cookies ). However, these are the only color settings this theme has.

2. MailChimp. I think you can use one of the third party plugins to display the subscription form as a widget. You can place this widget in one of the widget areas: “Sidebar” (this is a hidden sidebar located on the right side of the page), “Footer: Left Column”, “Footer: Center Column” or “Footer: Right Column”. You can find more information about widgets in the documentation: “Documentation > Using Widgets”, link: http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-orin/#widgets-section

Hello,

First I want to apologize for the delay in responding… I was in another city for several days, and there I did not have access to the Internet

Thank you so much for your interest in this theme and for your kind words – I’m glad you like this theme!

To be honest, I don’t know what to answer you. Only you can answer your question – if you have studied the functions of this theme in the description, if you like this theme and if everything suits you, then this theme suits you. If you have doubts or something you do not like, then you can continue to search for a theme that suits you.

Thank you very much again! I hope that soon you will be able to find a theme that suits you

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Снова комментарий обрабатывает код иконки некорректно – не добавляет закрывающий тег… Я рекомендую смотреть пример правильного кода в документации: Documentation > Theme Customization > 6. Footer.

Огромное вам спасибо Алексей!!!)))

Hello, it’s me again!

I want to write a little about audio format. To display the SoundCloud player, I use a standard WordPress function called wp_oembed_get. This function tries to get the embed HTML code from the provided URL. You can read more about this function here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_oembed_get/

This function can handle a large number of different URLs from different providers. For example, these could be URLs from the following providers: Dailymotion, WordPress.tv, Vimeo, YouTube, SoundCloud, Flickr, and others. For the audio format, I write about SoundCloud because it is the most popular audio hosting service that users use. In fact, you can paste any of the supported WordPress URLs into the SoundCloud URL field, and WordPress will process it and display the required content. For example, you can select an audio format and paste the URL of an image from Flickr into the SoundCloud URL field, and WordPress will display that image. Of course, to avoid any confusion, I do not recommend doing this, but the wp_oembed_get function allows it. As for anchor fm, WordPress does not yet support this provider, so there is no way to add this feature to the theme yet. However, if WordPress will support this provider’s URL in the future, then this theme will also be able to display content from this provider’s URL.

P.S. In order not to make the comment very huge, with your permission, I will not duplicate it in Russian. In the comments, I am obliged to write in English, and if possible, duplicate in other languages. I’m sure you know English perfectly! Or, in any case, Google translator can translate perfectly

P.S.S. You can see the full list of providers whose URLs WordPress supports at this link: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_oembed/ . Go to the Source section, and click on the “Expand full source code” link. Then scroll down to the table with all supported providers.

Have a nice day! Best regards, Alexey

Hello, Thank you very much for purchasing this theme and for your kind words, I really appreciate it!

Your ideas are really good, especially the second and third (about the title and logo). I cannot give any guarantees, but I will consider each of these ideas for future updates. Thank you again!

Have a nice day Best regards, Alexey
