Hi, I’m wanting to change the header text colour from grey to black and am using the following code:

header .dropdown-nav > ul > li > a{

color: #000000!important; } but it then stops the hover colour setting from working. Can you supply a fix for this please?

Thanks!

Hi, can you recheck the code please. I don’t see any change..

Hi,

Of course, the code is correct and working. Actually, I’ve tried it before I provide any code.

If it doesn’t work on your site, it might be overridden by another custom CSS on your site, you may need to give me the link of your site so I can take a look at it.

Hi,

I’ve downloaded the Overlap Theme a few days ago and received two zip files.

Unfortunately the installation of demo content fails (—> “no xml file found”).

How do I install the demo content file and how do I get access to the 70+ predefined pages?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer!

You will need to install the Overlap Demo Content plugin, then navigate to Theme Options -> Home to import demo content.

You can find the instructions on how to import demo content in our documentation: https://wydethemes.com/overlap/documentation/

Hi, didn’t touch on my website since 2 years except updating the theme (last time in January) I just realize, my portfolio doesn’t work anymore. From the home page or from the portfolio page. I cannot clic on project to see the project page. What is going on ?

We’re sorry but the image link has been removed in the recent updates of the theme. You may need to click on the title to see the portfolio details.

However, we will look into this and bring it back in the future update. Thank you for reporting this issue.

Why did you change something like that. It’s a real problem. People don’t understand it. There’s a mouse over effect. Something should happen if you click where there’s a mouse over effect. It’s basic UX. You cannot remove something functionalities without advise your customer before. If I have knew that, I would done the update. Another client just email me to tell me my portfolio doesn’t work. Can you make a theme update soon ?

My apologies! There was an issue with the image link on mobile device. The portfolio grid didn’t work properly on mobile, then we had to remove it in the recent updates.

Once again, we are truly sorry for any inconvenience that the recent updates have caused.

Anyway, we’re working on this and it will be fixed ASAP!

Hi, I have two problems with the cart pages. The first problem is the misaligned texts on the cart page, the second problem is the window that appears when I click on the icon at the top of the cart. Too large.

http://www.torrevento.it/nuovo/cart/

Can you help me? Thank you

You may need to add CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to achieve this:

.woocommerce-cart .main-content .page-content {
   min-height: 550px;
}

.menu-cart .shopping-cart-content .mini-cart-list > li > a span {
  height: 40px;
  max-width: 250px;
  white-space: normal;
}

Hi, great theme. Very flexible. What I cannot find are pre-set options for the height of the title area. I’d like to create and set a standard title area size with the same background image. I want the height to be around 600px.

Went through the documentation and couldn’t see mention of where this gets set. Before I start using CSS and custom templates, checking here first to see if have missed something. Thanks, Mike

Answering my own question… I found the setting at the bottom of the page config under Overlap options. One related question.. what is the difference between the Title settings under Theme Options versus those under the page options? I set a Title area background image under Theme Options and it did not seem tp have an effect anywhere.

Hi,

The Title Area setting under Theme Options is a global setting and for some pages that do not have Overlap Options such as archive pages.

The Title Area setting under Overlap Options is an individual setting for single post, page and portfolio. If you haven’t set this setting, it will use global setting from Theme Options.

Also, if you’d like the height to be around 600px, you may need to choose the “Large” size for the title area (the height of the large size is 648px).

Hope this helps!

Hi, on my portfolio page, the images are not creating a grid and are displayed in a weird way, you can check this here : http://preprod.elodie-illustrations.net/portfolio/

Is it something I could do to have a normal grid? TY in avance

I’m sorry but I couldn’t access the link you provided. It says “The requested URL /portfolio/ was not found on this server”.

However, please ensure that your portfolio featured images are bigger than 640×640px so they will be cropped and fit perfectly within the grid layout. The recommended sizes are equal or bigger than 960×960 pixels.

Hi,

On my portfolio page, the image are acting very weird. Instead of showing like a grid, they are featured in a weird way, you can see it here. It it something I could do to fix this please?

TY in advance

Hi,

The minimum size of portfolio featured image is 640×640px, please ensure that your images are bigger than that size so they will be cropped and fit perfectly within the grid layout.

Dear people at wyde,

A few days ago I purchased your “Overlap” Theme (Puchase code 3108(...)3bc8 – 26 Mar 2019).

I really appreciate your work and efforts you put in your themes. But in my case “Overlap” doesn’t fit enough to my needs, rearding the backend configurability in the Theme and Content editor. Unfortunately this is something I couldn’t check out in advance as I dind’t find any demo backend login …

I kindly ask you to reimburse me the amount paid to the account used and would be very pleased if you make this possible. Of course I will uninstall, delete and no longer use the theme.

Many thanks in advance! Ben

Hello Ben,

We’re sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our theme!

This theme uses WPBakery Page Builder plugin, the most popular page and content editor for WordPress. It may seem difficult at first, but we believe that it will be easier after you take your time playing around with it in a few days.

Also, we would recommend importing our demo content, it will help you build your site faster and easier than creating it from scratch.

Unfortunately, as stated on the Envato Market Refund Rules: https://themeforest.net/page/customer_refund_policy#not-refundable

We couldn’t give you a refund if the theme doesn’t fit your needs or doesn’t meet your expectations or in other situations like the following:

you don't want it after you've downloaded it;
the item did not meet your expectations;
you simply change your mind;
you bought an item by mistake;
you do not have sufficient expertise to use the item;
you ask for goodwill; or
you can no longer access the item because it has been removed.

Thank you for your quick answer and the info.

Unfortunately it’s not that I don’t like the theme. I’m looking for the WPBakery Frontend Editor, because I want to develop the design of the page in Wordpress WYSIWYG-like and not develop a design that I’m then drawing it along in the Backend Editor (like I did the last 5 years).

In the description of the theme it says several times “Drag & Drop Page Builder included” and ”... with … Drag & Drop Page Builder, Visual Composer.”. How do I get to the Frontend editor???

Sure, the Backend Editor is also a Drag & Drop Page Builder. However, this theme includes custom content elements and features and some of them are not compatible with the Frontend Editor so it has been disabled by default when using this theme.

As stated on the item description page, the front-end editor is disabled in this theme: https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205#item-description__theme-features
Visual Composer Included ($34 value) - drag & drop back-end editor (front-end editor disabled)

We built all demo sites by using the Backend Editor, we think that it’s easier and faster than the Frontend Editor.

Anyway, if you’d like to get a refund you can submit a refund request in the link below: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new

Hello, when I upload the plugin of the demo content it says that error: The link you followed has expired.

And the plugin doesn’t get installed. Is that correct? Thank you

Solved

Glad to hear that it has been solved!

Hi,

I have trouble installing the demo content. The plugin can’t be installed, Wordpress says timeout. I tried everything! The php-version is 7.3.1, mysql is also right. I changed the php.ini-file, as you recommended in your user guide, but it still doesn’t work… .

Hi,

It sounds like that this is a server resource limit issue. Please ensure that your changes you made on the php.ini are correct and affect your web hosting actually.

To check your server PHP info, you may need to install the WP-ServerInfo plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-serverinfo/ ), and then you will find the WP-ServerInfo screen under the Dashboard menu. Select “Display PHP Information” and find the max_execution_time and other settings to make sure they have been set to the minimum as below:

max_execution_time = 300

memory_limit = 128M

post_max_size = 32M

upload_max_filesize = 32M

max_input_vars = 5000

However, if you’re using “starting/basic/shared hosting” packages from some companies, as they give you too little control and are very limited. You can experience issues as demo content import failure even you’ve changed the php.ini, your changes won’t affect the web hosting actually.

Also, if you have other plugins, we recommend deactivate them before importing. Only bundled plugins and the Overlap Demo Content plugin should be active.

Anyway, if this couldn’t resolve the problem, try to choose the content types one by one to import. Here’s a quick guide:

1. Select only Posts option. 2. Click on a demo thumbnail to start importing. 3. Once the process has been completed, do the same thing for Pages and other options one by one.

If it still doesn’t work, you may need give me your WordPress admin login details so I will look into this. You can send a private message in the contact form on the page below:

Hi Wyde, Thanks for your great them love it!

I hope you can help me with one issue?

I’ve created a carousel with revolution slider which looks really nice and works fine. Only on mobile (portrait view, in landscape view it’s good) you see the thumbnails of the next/prev image under the arrow and on top of the main image, please have a look: https://geboortecentrum.nl/#dankkaartjes

The funny thing is, when making my browser smaller to test it and find out how to disable it, it works all fine. Only on my phone it’s ugly.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Many thanks! Wietske

Hi,

Thank you for the link you provided, it helps me a lot!

After inspecting this issue, I think that it is an issue with the Carousel settings.

In the Carousel Settings section, see the picture below:

To fix this issue, you may need to increase the Space Between Slides from -250 to -180 or greater (I mean -150 or -100), the recommended value is -80. When it is lower than -180, you will see the previous and next slides on mobile devices. You can see more details on the Carousel Settings here: https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/carousel/#basics

Hope this helps!

Fantastic, thanks a lot for your help!

You’re welcome :)

Hi , I have a problem with the plugin Revolution Slider. It worked well so far, but today a bug appeared and all I can see is “record not found” on my website.

I tried to install the newest version, but it doesn’t work either. Can you tell me what to do please ?

Also the plugin works well with another theme.

Thank you in advance.

It sounds like that the Slider Revolution couldn’t find any slider on your site. Try checking the Slider Revolution screen on your WordPress admin. If there is no slider, you may need to create at least one, or import sample sliders from the theme’s demo content in Theme Options -> Home, select only Sliders option and then click on a demo thumbnail to import sliders. You can find more details on how to import demo content in our documentation: https://wydethemes.com/overlap/documentation/#import-demo-content

If it still doesn’t work, you may need to send me your WordPress admin login details so I will look into this. You can send a private message in the contact form on the page below:

I have the Overlap, but am running into an issue with anchor links. I’ve got three anchor links in my nav but only two of the three actually work. The first one doesn’t scroll to it’s specified position despite being properly linked. I’ve bought this theme a couple of times and it’s been persistent with no matter which site I work on. The first link never seems to work. Any idea why that would be?

We’re sorry, when you have anchor links in the nav menu, it will work like a One Page site and it will scroll to the top of the page when you click on the first menu item.

Thank you for reporting this issue, we will fix it in the next update of the theme.

Is there a javascript fix I can use to resolve this until that time? I have a workaround now but it’s less than ideal.

You may need to add a JavaScript snippet below into Theme Options -> Advanced -> Body Content to fix this issue:


<script type="text/javascript">

    jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {

        $( window ).on( 'wyde.page.ready', function() {

            $( '.menu-item > a[href*="#"]' ).each( function() {

                if ( this.pathname === window.location.pathname ) {

                    var $el = $( this );

                    if ( $el.parent().hasClass( 'menu-item' ) && $el.parents( 'ul' ).find( 'li' ).index( $el.parent() ) === 0 ) {

                        $el.off( 'click' ).on( 'click', function( event ) {

                            var hash = getHash( $( this ).attr( 'href' ) );

                            if ( hash && '#' !== hash ) {
                                wyde.page.scrollTo( hash );
                            }

                        } );

                    }

                }

            } );

        } );

    } );

I have the Envato market plugin, but the WPBakery plugin is not updating from 5.6 to 5.7. How do I make the update? Thank you.

We’re sorry but the WPBakery Page Builder plugin is included in the theme and it needs to be updated by the theme’s author. The latest compatible version that’s included in the Overlap (1.4.6.1) is 5.6.

You can normally use that version with the theme, we will include version 5.7 in the next update of the theme. After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to install the new update of WPBakery and other bundled plugins.

Thank you.

Hi, I am trying to get a background picture replaced on the Home – Creative Agency sample but the visual composer is not showing me a background on that part so I don’t know where is it. You can see the photo at the very bottom (snowed mountains) on this link https://www.slptherapypr.com/home-2/home-creative-agency/ can you let me know how to get this photo replaced with my own?

Hi,

It’s a background image of the last row on that page. You have to edit that page, then edit the last row, select the Background tab to change the background image.

If the Background tab doesn’t show up, try checking the current version of theme and Wyde Core plugin as well as WPBakery Page Builder, you may need to update them. You can find the update details in the changelog below: https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205#item-description__update-log

Both the theme and the WPBakery plugin are updated to the latest version. Any ideas?

It should be the row next to the Testimonials section on that page. I have no idea why the background image doesn’t show up in the row settings of your page builder.

There may be plugin conflicts on your site, try to deactivate other plugins to see if it works.

If it still doesn’t work, you may need to send me your WordPress admin login details so I will look into this. You can send a private message in the contact form on the page below:

Hi, I have three columns in my home with three blog posts. How can I always view the last three posts entered?

http://www.torrevento.it/nuovo/

Hi,

To always display 3 latest posts, you have to add one Blog Posts element into one column, then you will set the “Number of Posts per Page” to 3.

However, this theme doesn’t include a grid layout for the blog posts, you may need to choose a “Masonry” layout instead, it will display your posts in masonry 3 columns like our demo below: https://wydethemes.com/overlap/blog/blog-masonry/

Hi there,

I need to adjust/change the main image on the homepage of the mobile version of my Wordpress site.

How do I do this please?

Hi there,

I guess that image is in the main slider, then you can enable the “Custom Grid Sizes” for your slider so you can set different styles for the mobile device. You can find more details here:

https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-setup/#custom-grid-sizes

However, if this is not what you’re looking for, please tell me more details where that image is located or send me the link of that page.

Hi, it’s not a slider – it’s the header for the page in the “Title Area”.

We’re sorry but you couldn’t adjust the page header image for the mobile version. It displays the same image on both desktop and mobile, the page header automatically resizes the image to cover the entire container.

However, try adding the CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to change the height of the page header on mobile to see if it works:

@media only screen and (max-width: 599px) {

.title-wrapper {
    padding-top: 150px;
    padding-bottom: 100px;
}

}

Also, you can change the padding-top and bottom to suit your needs, and the padding-top should be greater than the padding-bottom 50px.

Hope this helps!

Hello i would like to ask whether it is possible to put a different featured image on the general portfolio page and the single post. If not, is it possible to insert an image in the “media url” instead of a video?

Thank you Alessandro

Hello,

We’re sorry but the Media URL is only available for embedded videos.

However, you can hide the featured image for the single portfolio and the single post, then you can add another image to the top of post content directly.

It would be easier if you use the page builder to add a Single Image to the post or portfolio.

If it is not enabled on a single post, you can enable it in WPBakery Page Builder -> Role Manager, choose “Custom” for Post types, select “post” and “wyde_portfolio” so you can build the post/portfolio content with the Backend Editor like a page.

Also, if you’d like you can display the background image from the title area instead of the post featured image. In the Overlap Options on the post edit screen, select the Title Area tab and change the Background mode to Image then choose the Background Image to display in the title area (header).

Here’s a quick guide on how to hide the featured image:

For the single post, navigate to Theme Options -> Blog -> Blog Single Post, change the Featured Image Size option to “Hide Featured Image”.

For the single portfolio, navigate to Theme Options -> Portfolio -> Portfolio Single Post, turn off the Display Featured Image option to hide it.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I have three columns in my home with three blog posts. How can I always view the last three posts entered?

Hi there! Can Overlap 1.4.6.1 be translated in russian?

Sure, all static words in the theme are included in the POT file that’s ready for translation. You can translate this file to any languages by using POEdit.

Also, you can use the Loco Translate plugin, it allows you to translate the theme directly on your WordPress admin page.

You will find the instructions on how to translate the theme in our documentation:

https://wydethemes.com/overlap/documentation/#translations

Hi there, On my webiste, the Home page – on first appearance the top Nav makes everything white and can’t be read it. is How do I change this? I like it on scroll with the sticky nav and how it appears on all the other page but it is just the initial landing page that is really odd.

Hi there,

It sounds like you may need to choose the navigation menu text color to different color of the navigation menu background.

You can change the top navigation menu text color in the Header tab on the page edit screen.

When you add/edit the page, scroll down to the Overlap Options select the Header tab and choose the Foreground Style to set the menu text style.

Hope this helps!
