Hi,
I installed this theme and followed all the documentation for the Overlap theme and “Theme Options” doesn’t appear and the demo content although installed as a plug in does not help resolve this issue.
Can you please advise ASAP as this was specifically purchased for a client project and I’m stuck without support for this.
Thank you!
Hi,
The Theme Options panel is included in the Wyde Core plugin, please ensure that it is active. After you install the theme, you will see a notification message at the top of your WordPress admin page to install Wyde Core and other bundled plugins.
Hi,
I am having trouble installing the Visual Composer. When I try uploading the js_composer.zip file to my plugins, I get the error message that “Destination folder already exists. /home/mvmtblog/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/” and “Plugin installation failed.”
Even though it says I’ve already installed it, I don’t see Visual Composer in my plugins list or on the lefthand panel of my dashboard.
Any advice you can provide would be very helpful.
Thanks, Diana
Hi,
It sounds like you already have that plugin on your site. You should find “WPBakery Page Builder” in your plugins list and on the admin menu panel.
If it is not available there, it means that there may be something wrong while installing it. You may need to manually delete the folder “wp-content/plugins/js_composer” from your web server first. Then, you will see a notification message at the top of your WordPress admin page to install it again.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I do have WPBaker Page Builder in my admin panel. Am I correct in understanding then that WPBaker Page Builder and Visual Composer are the same thing?
Also, when I go to “Edit your front page” from my dashboard, the content is showing in HTML and not in visual (even though it is set to visual). There is also no button that says “backend editor.”
Any advice as to how to fix this?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks, Diana
Hi,
Of course, both are the same plugin (the name of Visual Composer was changed to WPBaker Page Builder).
Regarding the front page issue, if your site displays the latest posts on the front page (default settings), you won’t see the page builder there because the posts page couldn’t be edited by the page builder.
You may need to setup the front page in Settings -> Reading, in “Your homepage displays” option, select “A static page”, then choose your home page so you can build the page content for your front page. You can find more details on how to setup the front page/home page in our documentation.
I have set my homepage display to “A static page,” but when I go to edit that page, all I see is text like this:
padding_size="no-padding"]rev_slider_vc alias="travel-blog"/vc_rowvc_column overlap="right" overlap_distance="0" overlap_index="150" padding_size="s-padding" width="1/2"wyde_heading text_align="right" title="Explore The World with Us"vc_row_inner overlap="right" overlap_distance="100px" overlap_index="50"[vc_custom_heading text="Etiam faucibus nulla vitae arcu ultricies cursus ac eu tellus. Mauris bibendum consectetur lectus ut molestie. Nunc ornare lacus augue. Vestibulum ultricies magna in vestibulum pulvinar. Integer id erat dui. Quisque condimentum pulvinar tellus in varius. Duis tincidunt nibh et nibh accumsan." font_container="tag:p|font_size:16px|text_align:right|color:%23666666|line_height:1.7" ...
...rather than the visual editor.
I have already enabled WPBakery Page Builder for pages, posts and custom post types and disabled third party plugins that might be interfering with WPBakery Page Builder.
Any other ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks!
Is there a Backend Editor button at the top of the text editor (below the page title)? If so, you may need to click on that button to switch from Classic mode to the Backend Editor.
If it doesn’t work, you may need to send me your site login details so I can take a closer look. You can send a private message via the contact form in the link below: https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contactI do not see a Backend Editor button at the top of the text editor.
I’ll send you my login information via private message.
Thank you for the login details!
This is a plugin conflict issue. The Gutenberg plugin is active on your site so you couldn’t use the WPBakery Page Builder.
I just deactivated the Gutenberg, then you can use the WPBakery Page Builder now.
Got it, thank you!
Dear Wyde,
Yesterday I bought your theme and very thrilled to start using it!
I’ve started with the logo but found out it is not a theme-option to center a rather large logo above the menu.
I’ve read the comments and found some css to create what I would like. But after using the css, the submenu is way to low and the header is not getting smaller after scroll, like it should Can you please help me?
I would like to have, from top to down: - some white space, lets say 50px - a large logo, lets say 200 px height - some white space lets say 30 px - the menu with the submenu - some white space lets say 30 px - the photo (coming from the page content) - on scroll the header gets smaller (like it does in the demo) and the logo is on the left like it is in the demo
I’ve tried to use this css (a little from you and some added by me): #header > .container{ margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: -80px; }
header-logo{
height: 180px; width: 100%; margin-top: -80px; }
header.w-full .container {
height: 280px !important; }
.center-nav #top-nav .top-menu { padding-top: 25px !important; }
body:not(.no-header) .main-content.header-space { padding-top: 145px !important; }
Can you please help me with the submenu? Or maybe my css above is not that good and it should be replaced with something else?
My website is: https://geboortecentrum.a10.hosting/Many thanks and best wishes! Wietske
#header:not(.w-fixed) .container{
margin-top: 50px;
margin-bottom: -80px;
}
#header:not(.w-fixed) #header-logo {
width: 100%;
margin-top: -80px;
}
#header.w-full .container {
height: 280px;
}
.center-nav #header:not(.w-fixed) #top-nav .top-menu,
.center-nav #header:not(.w-fixed) #top-nav .ex-menu {

}

Hope this helps!
Hi Wyde, fantastic this works great! I Really appreciate your fast respons and great help, thanks!
You are welcome 
Hi There, Is it possible to pull through pages under the portfolio section?
You may need to put -1 into the Post Count field under the Portfolio Grid Settings so it will display all portfolio posts without paging.
If this is not what you’re looking for, please give us more details or send us the link of that page so we can take a look.
Has anyone else experienced your pricing tables not showing the titles and images attached to them?
Here’s a quick tip:
- Please ensure that you’ve updated the theme and all bundled plugins to the latest update.
- There may be plugin conflicts on your site, try to deactivate other plugins to see if it works.
If it doesn’t work, you may need to give me the link of that page so I can take a look.
Not sure why, but I had to add a Title to each pricing table for the images to show up. So it’s a workaround! www.danagray.studio/services
Of course, you will need to add a title for each pricing table so the image will show up.
Hi,
Just wanted to check with you about some details for this theme, before purchasing. Is it possible to have a latest blog post on the home page as a full width view with some “read more” button, some preview below the image and the rest of the page arranged as we like. So I would like to know is it possible to have blog page with all blogs then arranged differently. How does it pull a content from a blog page to a home page? Also, is it possible to set tag view somewhere? I see there is a tag option, but I would like to allow my readers to choose a tag that they want and filter out only posts with this tag. Is that possible? Is it possible to have simpler view of the, for example, latest posts, so that they are aligned somehow to have a clear overview? Now they are all overlapping in all your examples.
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards, Milica
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in our theme!
1 – Sure, you can add a Blog Posts element to the home page and any other pages so it will display your latest posts in a full width view. Also, you can choose different layouts and can choose specific posts to show for each one.
2 – You can add a Tags widget to the sidebar like you can see in the link below:
https://wydethemes.com/overlap/blog/blog-standard-right-sidebar/3 – If you’d like to remove an overlapping design from the blog posts, you will need to add CSS snippet to adjust this.
Hi, where and how van I update the foooter text. Now it is showing: “©2016 Overlap – Premium WordPress Theme. Powered by WordPress.” I would like to update the year, since the website is updated regulary….
It’s in Theme Options -> Footer -> Footer Bar -> Footer Text.
Thanks a lot! 
Hi there, Just a question out of interest – is there any way of having the sliding bar move over the page but the page ‘beneath’ stays in place rather than also sliding to the left? TIA
I’m sorry but that is a theme design, you couldn’t change this.
Hi There,
Could you please help me with the following on the sliding bar nav
1) How can I turn off/remove the overlay of the Instagram feed
2) How can I remove the captions of the Insta post (which pop up as an overlay on the photos)
3) How can I change the font color in the sliding bar nav
Looking forward to your reply.
Thx, Chantal
Hi There!
1) You will need to set the widget title blank to remove the overlay from the Instagram Feed widget.
2) Try adding CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to see if it works:
.w-instagram img {
text-indent: -99999px;
}
3) It depends on the Header Background under Theme Options -> Navigation -> Top Navigation. If you selected “Dark”, the font color will be white, otherwise black.
However, if you’d like to set it to other colors, you may need to add CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize ->Additional CSS:
#slidingbar {
color: #bf2b2b !important;
}
Thank you… Point 1 and 3 are covered, but the text attribute is still there. Do you have other options?
Also another question: How do I get the vertical text as shown on the one page live demo of the food stylist at the about us section?
It’s not in my demo content and couldn’t find the vertical text option.
Looking forward to your reply.
Chantal
(function( $ ) {
$( window ).on( 'wyde.page.ready', function () {
setTimeout( function() {
$( '.w-instagram a' ).attr( 'title', '' );
$( '.w-instagram img' ).attr( 'alt', '' );
}, 1000);
} );
})(jQuery);
However, I couldn’t post a script tag here, you will need to add the snippet above inside script tag < script > to make it work.
2 – The vertical text on the one page demo is a background image, see the picture below:
Hi there After last update, all i had with animations, DISAPPEARED (i took them all away), and the Overlap options appears empty, there’are no options now. I know i dont have support now, but, this seems a malfunction, what can i do? thanks
the thing that matters most for me, is the overlap functions that disappeared
Please ensure that you’ve updated Wyde Core and all bundled plugins to the latest update too.
After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to update the bundled plugins. If the notification was dismissed, you will see the plugins list under Appearance -> Install Plugins.
If it still doesn’t work, there may be plugin conflicts on your site, you may need to deactivate the plugins one by one to find the problematic plugin.
Hope this helps!
Hello, I’m trying to install the plugin “overlap-demo-content.zip” but I keep getting the error message “The link you followed has expired. Please try again.” Please help, thanks!
Hello,
It’s most likely a server PHP configuration issue. Please ensure that you’ve increased the maximum file upload size on your web server to the minimum as we provided in our documentation.
I recommend using the PHP Settings plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-settings/) to check and increase the PHP limits on your site.
Also, you can find more details on how to increase the maximum file upload size here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/
Hi, finally getting around to using the theme. How do I update the slider update?
The new update of Slider Revolution plugin is included in the theme update. After you update the theme, you will see a notification message to install the new update of bundled plugins.
If the notification was dismissed, you will find the update list in Appearance -> Install Plugins.
However, the latest update of the slider is 5.4.8. If you’re using that version with the latest update of the theme (1.4.5), you don’t need to update it.
Also, you can find more details on how to update the theme in our documentation.
Hi there, I’d like to remove the contact info from the mobile menu (including the link to the cart – as I already have a link in my menu) but not remove those contact details from my sliding bar…can I achieve this with a CSS snippet? TIA
Hi there!
Sure, here you are:
#side-nav .menu-item-shop,
#side-nav .contact-info {
display: none;
}
sorry for the delayed reply. thanks so much for the snippet
Is it possible to make the menu items on mobile devices centered within the screen like the full screen( hamburger) menu on desktops? And if so how? Currently the mobile menu items are listed on the left with the submenu arrow on the right. Thank you for your time.
Also is there a way to get out of the mobile menu without clicking on a menu item? The full screen hamburger menu turns into an ‘X” and can click out without clicking on a menu item.
Sorry for the delayed response!
1 – You may need to add CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to adjust this:
#vertical-nav {
text-align: center;
}
.vertical-menu li a,
.vertical-menu .back-to-parent span {
display: inline-block;
}
#vertical-nav .vertical-menu li.menu-item-has-children > a:after {
position: relative;
}
2 – Actually, it should turn into an X icon like the fullscreen hamburger menu as you can see in our demos:
https://wydethemes.com/overlap/There may be plugin conflicts on your site, try to deactivate any other plugins to see if it works.
Hi again. Thank you so much for your response.
1- So I applied the CSS code that you gave me and it did center the menu items, however it did not center the social icons.
2 – I deactivated all of the plug-ins (except Wyde Core) but I still don’t see the X icon or the logo when I click on the mobile menu. I see the hamburger menu and then it opens full screen and I only see the menu items and social icons. There is no header at all. Is there a setting that I’m missing?
#side-nav .social-icons {
text-align: center;
}
2 – We’re sorry, this is a bug with the theme when the sticky header is disabled. Thank you for reporting this issue, we will fix it in the next update.
In the meantime, you may need to enable the Sticky Header under Theme Options -> Navigation -> Top Navigation to work around this.
Thank you! And please let me know when the next update comes out
We will release the next update within a week, you will receive a notification email after the new update of the theme has been released.
Hi again,
Just getting back to the menu and have a couple of items…
1 – hHow do I make the sub menu drop down into an accordion style instead of back-and-forth to different sub menu pages? I found another comment on here where I saw that this can be done. Please see this example – http://mcgregor.redrebelcreative.com
2 – I can’t seem to figure out how to change the background on the full screen menu to a solid color and remove the opacity. Where do I change that?
3 – How do I make the hamburger icon a little bigger?
Thank so much for your help!!
1 – We’re sorry but that is not included in the theme design. You will need to edit the navigation template and add custom menu scripts to change it into an accordion menu.
2 – You may need to add CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to remove the opacity from the fullscreen menu:
#fullscreen-nav:before {
opacity: 1;
}
3 – Here’s CSS snippet to make the hamburger icon bigger:
.full-nav-icon {
width: 30px;
}
Hope this helps!
Since item #1 is not available, I may go to a third-party menu option. How would I completely turn off the menu on mobile devices if I have to go that route? When I turn off the menu on the desktop version, it still shows on mobile.
Thanks!!
To completely remove the header menu and mobile menu, you will need to hide the header under the Overlap Options -> Header -> Display Header on the page edit screen. If this option doesn’t work on your site, try updating the theme and Wyde Core plugin to see if it works.
Thanks for your time!!!
You’re welcome 
Hi. We have used WPML with your theme. We have two questions: 1. Where is “Team Members” translated? 2. Where is “Footer Text” translated? Thank you!!
1. If you’d like to translate the word “Team Members” in the backend, you will need to translate the Wyde Core plugin.
2. It’s included in the String Translation section, you will find it there.
1. We want to translate the team members (not the word). We have done the manual translation with WPML but the slider appears empty where it should appear translated.
Please ensure that you’ve translated the page that’s currently displaying the team members. For instance, if you put the team members into the About Us page, you will need to translate that page so it displays the team members that correspond to the language of that page.
If it doesn’t work, you may need to send me your site URL so I can take a look.
Loving this theme! Seriously you guys knocked it out of the park!
I’m having an issue though… my frontend visual composer is not loading. Just sits on loading scroll end never loads. Any tips or ideas why it might not be working?
Glad to hear that you love our theme!
We’re sorry but the frontend editor is disabled and not available in this theme as stated in the theme features: https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205#item-description__theme-features
This theme comes with custom content elements and features, some features of Visual Composer plugin are not compatible with the theme and are disabled by default. We recommend using the Backend Editor instead. We usually use the backend editor and it is faster and better than the frontend.
However, I have no idea why you can access the frontend editor since it was disabled and removed from the theme by default. Please ensure that you’ve updated the theme and all bundled plugins to the latest update, you can find more details in the changelog below:
https://themeforest.net/item/overlap-high-performance-wordpress-theme/15344205#item-description__update-logOh perfect! Thanks for the response. No worries with front end.. don’t need it. Just thought something might be broken since it wasn’t working. Thanks for the quick response.
You’re welcome 
You can use the Custom Description section instead of the Client section. You may need to set the client name blank, and then put the Episode and other information into the Custom Description so they will appear in the left hand side as you can see in the link below:
https://wydethemes.com/overlap/portfolio-item/portfolio-6/However, if you’d like to change the word “Client” to another one, you may need to install the plugin called “Loco Translate” ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ ) to translate the theme.
Awesome! That was easy… I didn’t know that if I left it blank it wouldn’t show. One additional question, is there a way to make the header logos larger? They are a bit small on the site currently and I’m not seeing any options to change the size.
#header-logo img {
max-height: 95%;
}
Hi, thanks for your help. I’m having another issue. My client wants adobe typekit fonts installed on the site that are not available in the theme options typography setting. I have installed typekit plugin but I cannot seem to override the theme’s typography settings. Where can I change this please!
SOLVED. I managed to overwrite the theme’s typography option.
I have a very custom request from client now. Is it possible to change the “hove” color and display options for the portfolio items. For example currently, the portfolio grid when hovered over displays theme color and post information. Can I make a custom color and change the text that is displayed when hovered? Thank you for your help!
This theme comes with 7 different hover effects, you may need to choose one to edit.
Here’s a quick tip to edit the portfolio ‘Grid’ layout with the ‘Overlap’ hover effect.
1 – Add CSS snippet below to Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS to change the hover color:
.w-effect-overlap figure {
background: #6fa7b9;
}
2 – By default, the portfolio grid displays the title and category of the post. To display other information, you may need to edit the portfolio template file in your child theme.
Here’s the step-by-step guide to edit the portfolio template file:
1. Copy the portfolio template file from the Overlap theme “wp-content/themes/overlap/templates/portfolio/content.php” to your child theme “wp-content/themes/overlap-child-theme/templates/portfolio/content.php”. If you’d like to edit the Masonry layout, you will need to edit the file “content-masonry.php” instead.
2. Edit the template file in your child theme to replace the title and category with custom text.
You can find more details on how to display the post data in the Loop here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/the-loop/
Hope this helps!
Hi. Love the theme!!
A couple of quick pre-sale questions.
1 – Can the image gallery (under Elements/Media) have a masonary layout with just 2 columns? I just don’t see any 2 column examples and wanted to check.
2 – Can the video player/page be full screen?
Thank you so much!!
Hi!
Thank you for your interest in our theme.
1 – The masonry layout in this theme is a predefined layout. When using a masonry layout for the image gallery, you couldn’t choose the number of columns but can choose from 4 different predefined layouts as you can see in our demos.
2 – Sure, this theme comes with a full screen row, you can add a video and any other content into it so you will have a fullscreen video.
Thank you for your response.
For item #1, can the masonry layout be easily coded for 2 or 3 columns? Also I noticed that the images in the Image gallery are cropped and once you click on them it shows the full size image. Is it possible to have the masonry layout show the entire image and not be cropped?
Thank you.
You may need to add a CSS snippet to adjust this. Also, you can choose the image size to display, when you choose “Original”, it will display images without cropping.
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
You’re welcome 
Hi. I just purchased the theme and love it so far. A couple of things right off the bat…
1 – What code do I use to change the masonry lay out on the image gallery to 2 columns? I want my images to be larger.
2 – For some reason my header and menu is not going full width for some reason. I have it selected on the theme options and on the individual page
page – www.bridalgal.com/beauty-portfolio/ need it full width like this page – https://wydethemes.com/overlap/overlap2/
3 – Where do I change the footer text font size?
Thank you for your help!!
And disregard #3. I just used css code in the additional css box.
Please disregard #2 & #3. I finally figured that out. But please let me know how to edit #1. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply!
Glad to hear that you’ve figured it out!
Also, here’s CSS snippet to change the gallery masonry layout to 2 columns, you can put it into Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS:
.w-image-gallery.w-masonry .w-item {
width: 50%;
}
However, if the layout you select doesn’t work properly with the 2 columns, I recommend choosing the “Auto Height” and choose “Original” for the Image Size to work around this.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much!! Works perfectly.
Hi, I think it’s almost done (thanks). I have two more issue:
1) Is it possible to reduce the size of slider-dots in overlap slider for mobile devices?
2) Making a cookie check, for the GDPR, I find an unclassified cookie probably from a part of the site we don’t use: History.store Cookie purpose description: Unclassified Initiator: Script tag, page source line number 1084 Source: wp-content/themes/overlap/js/plugins.js?ver=1.0.1 Prior consent enabled: No
Can you give us a description to be wrote in Policy Page?
Or a way to eliminate it…
Thank you so much…
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
.owl-dot span {
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
}
}
2) That’s included in the jQuery History library, we use it to handle browser history when the AJAX Page is enabled. However, it doesn’t create and use cookie but use the browser history (History.store), you can find more details about this in the link below:

Hi support. I have only one product in my shop and i’m linking to the product directly in the menu, rather than via the shop page. However, I want to make sure that the shop page looks ok still.
I’d like to just have the one product displaying in one column (looks like the page is set to 3 columns?) and I’d like to remove the ‘sort by’ option. I have a sidebar to the right which I’m happy to leave. Is this easily achieved through the settings?
TIA
You can adjust the columns and sidebar under Theme Options -> WooCommerce.
However, the sorting option is a built-in feature from WooCommerce, to remove it you will need to add custom filter to your child theme, you can find more details in the link below: https://www.pixelninja.me/remove-woocommerce-product-sorting-options/
