Does this theme provide an Appointment Calendar and Booking System? Or is compatible with a similar plug-in?

We’ve never tried it, but our clients are using the The Events Calendar plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/ )

Also, when using this plugin, you’ll need to disable AJAX Page option in Theme Options -> AJAX Options.

Hi there, when I go to upload this overlap.zip theme into wordpress, it comes up with a ‘WordPress Failure Notice’ – it doesn’t download properly and just takes me to a page saying “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.” I’ve tried many more times, on both my work desktop and my personal macbook. I then tried to install the overlap-child-theme.zip and it works, but then says I need to download the parent theme called overlap.zip. Please help! :)

Hi there,

This is a server configuration issue. Your host doesn’t allow you to upload a large file. You should increase the PHP configuration limits.

You can do this on your own by editing the php.ini, or contact your web hosting provider and ask them to increase those limits to the minimum as follows:

max_execution_time 180
memory_limit 128M
post_max_size 64M
upload_max_filesize 64M

If you couldn’t increase those limits above, you’ll need to upload the theme via cPanel or FTP instead. See more in our documentation.

I have noticed the search result does not include all pages of the website? Is each page/post individually set up to shown/hidden from the search results?

I have found out the behaviours. Ingenious! ???????? Thx!

Glad to hear that it has been resolved :)

[Where to Edit the Sliding Menu on the left]

Hi,

Where I can edit the content of the Navigation (sliding bar from the left).

I saw few option in “theme options > navigation” but I don’t understand where/how to modify the rest of the content.

Eg: remove the “purchase” button, change the logo, add text, etc…

Thanks.

Hi,

They’re all widgets. You can edit them in Appearance -> Widgets, edit/remove widgets in Sliding Bar section.

Thanks Wyde, sorted!

Is there a way to style the radio buttons differently? They show up as lines in my form – http://goo.gl/sem3fG

Thanks

Looks like there was a CSS conflict issue on your website. It’s because the Gravity Form plugin styles conflict with default styles from the theme. Try to add the below CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content to fix it:


<style type="text/css">

.gform_wrapper ul.gfield_checkbox li input[type=checkbox], 
.gform_wrapper ul.gfield_radio li input[type=radio]{
width:20px!important;
}

</style>

Yes – thank you, that fixed it.

Hi!

I’m working with the Overlap theme and I’m having trouble setting the google maps block to my location. Not sure on how to program it. Would you be able to send me directions on how to do so, thanks!

Hi,

To set your location on the map, please follow the below steps:

1. Add a Google Maps element to the page.

2. Set your address, you can add multiple items by clicking on a plus icon.

3. After you set an address, the map will find your location from your address then add a marker to your location on the map, if it doesn’t show up or isn’t on the correct location, try to change your address in the Address field or remove and add it again. Also, you can drag the marker to the right position manually.

Hi I seem to be getting a lot of “Connection lost. Saving has been disabled until you’re reconnected. We’re backing up this post in your browser, just in case.” when trying to open Visual Composer objects to edit on pages. Have you come across this before? Thanks Juliette

This is a server issue. We’ve also had this issue since we used a shared host. After we migrate to VPS, over the years we’ve never seen it yet. However, even this issue happens you can update the page without losing data.

ok thanks, I don’t have this issue with any other themes running VS, and not looking to migrate to VPS. Am finding I can’t even update pages at times as the VS element will not even open allowing me to make changes. Is there nothing we can do (apart from migrating VPS) to alleviate this?

Not sure, but sounds like this issue is not the same one we’ve seen before. Because even we see the message about the connection issue, we can edit and save the page without any problem.

Could you please send us your site URL and admin login credentials in the contact form -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hi Does the gallery not work with 5 columns? I’m trying to use 5 but it puts in 6 columns, but obviously the last column is blank, so it just looks like 5 columns off centre?

Thanks Juliette

This is a bug of the Image Gallery element. Thank you for reporting this issue, it will be fixed in the next update.

Ok thanks

Hi there, on my laptop I can see the heading: Drone Precision but on my phone it disappears! Why is that? http://droneshots.co.za/index.php/about-us-2/

Hi there,

There are column settings that hide it on tablet and mobile. You should edit the column container of the heading “Drone Precision”, select the Responsive Options tab, uncheck all checkboxes in “Hide on device?”.

Ok cool, Thanks! It’s fixed :-)

One more question as the problem seems to be on the template as well… On this page: http://droneshots.co.za/index.php/about-us-2/ On a mobile phone the order of services and equipment is jumbled up.

You don’t have for example : Heading Picture Heading Picture Heading Picture

At the moment we have for example: Heading Picture Picture Heading Heading Picture

Can one fix this somehow?

This works as the browser standard. The theme couldn’t handle this.

When you add your content as:
Text Picture
Picture Text
Text Picture
On mobile, it will display your content order by left to right and top to bottom as:
Text 
Picture
Picture 
Text
Text 
Picture

To change this order, you should create your content for each screen as below:

1. Copy the top level row that’s the container of your content, so you will have 2 sets of the content.

2. Edit the top level column of the first set. In the Responsive Options tab, hide it on mobile.

3. Edit the top level column of the second set. Hide this column on other screens except mobile.

Then it displays the first set of content on desktop and other screens except mobile. And it will display the second set on mobile instead.

@wyde: thanks for the great theme! Can you help with a bug we found on the Overlap Masonry Full Width / PORTFOLIO page please? To see the problem, browse to the demo page http://wydethemes.com/overlap/portfolios/portfolio-overlap-full-width/ and select the “Mobile” category. Now, if you change the width of the browser, the category selection gets reset (e.g. all portfolio items are again displayed, yet the “Mobile” category still shows as selected).

Thank you for reporting this issue, it will be fixed in the next update!

I have used the overlap theme and now I wanted to change the menu. I added 2 items and saved it, but now the whole menu is gone …

I suppose this is a PHP limits issue. Because you have too many items in the menu so when you add/edit menus, it couldn’t save those items. See more about menu issue -> https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menu-item-limit-warning

You’ll need to increase those PHP limits on your host. You can do this on your own by editing the php.ini, or contact your web hosting provider and ask them to increase those limits to the minimum as follows:

max_input_vars = 5000
suhosin.post.max_vars = 5000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 5000

See more on how to increase max_input_vars -> http://diywpblog.com/how-to-increase-max-input-vars/

How to set Footer Page for multilang?

Thanks for your question! You can choose the page in default language for the footer page and don’t need to set it separately for each language. You can use WPML plugin to translate your footer page. If there was a translated version of the footer page, it will display the translated page automatically.

BTW, there was an issue in the footer page on multi-language site in the current version. It will be fixed in the next update.

I have got everything up and running although I am wondering if I missed something.

I have understood the original demo images could not be provided for copyright reasons however I would expect at least placeholders, instead.

After demo import, there is no media whatsoever. Hence, the demo looks quite awful and hard to understand its composition.

Please, advise.

We just replied to your email!

Sweet. I do appreciate although, still getting internal error importing. There are media imported afterwards, but I cannot know for sure it has successfully uploaded everything. The first xml 36 files, after the second 78 files and all 3 uploaded 115 files total. Does it sounds right?

The first xml file contains over 100 images. And you will receive over 300 images from 3 xml files.

It sounds like there was a timeout error while importing. Try to increase the PHP configuration limits as below to see if it works:

max_execution_time   600

LUV YOUR DESIGNS (was just looking at your last two theme$) Wyde!! And the desk/laptop version of Overlap SO INSANE! just curious if parallax and animations could be activated on mobile view, need to know before I purchase this awesomeness BIG UPS!

The animations of content elements (i.e., as zoom-in, fade-in, etc.) will also work on mobile since there was an option to enable/disable it on mobile.

Unfortunately, the parallax effect was disabled by default on mobile. The background parallax doesn’t look good on mobile because it suits to the landscape view but mobile is not.

BTW, if you’d like I can help you enable the parallax effect on mobile but it doesn’t look as good as on the desktop/laptop.

Hi,

Blog Page Issue.

I have switched to the “infinite scrolling” but it doesn’t load any content. the 3 dots keep pulsing.

Do you have any idea why this happening?

In addition to that, I tried to switch back (from the blog options) to “numeric pagination” but it doesn’t switch. The “Infinite Scroll” is still there.

Thanks.

Hi,

If your blog page is now set as a Posts page, you can set the blog settings in Theme Options -> Blog. If not so you’ll need to set the blog settings on your blog page because the settings in Theme Options won’t affect the custom blog page. Edit the Blog Posts element on the blog page to change the settings.

If it still doesn’t work, please send us your site URL in the contact form -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Hi there, just a quick question: Can one make the Client Carousel go faster?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no slide speed option in the current version. Then we will add it in the next update.

Hello! Congrats on the theme, i like it.

Thou I need help with one thing in costumizing my site, I can’t get the header to be over the revolution slider image (like in the demos). I had to use overlap option to place the slider higher by 95px. But then all the rows below have to be moved by 95px higher so that I won’t get an awkward space between sections. And on tablet/mobile overlap disables. I want my header to be position absolute over the slider . I also didn’t find the answer in the documentation.

My apologies, that’s one of you’ll need to do.

Hi, I would like to know how can I make the “vertical line” effect above the headings

Hi,

Add a Heading element and in the Style option choose “Top Line”.

Is there any information on how beginners can use this theme on wordpress. Right now all i have is a white screen. is there a how to somewhere?

You can follow the instructions in our documentation on how to use the theme. This theme comes with the Visual Composer plugin so you can build your pages/posts with the drag and drop page builder. Also, the main download package includes both offline and online version of the documentation for the Visual Composer plugin (inside folder “Extras”) that also provide the instructions and video tutorials on how to use it.
