Does it come with Font Awesome built in?

Of course, this theme comes with Font Awesome and other 4 icon sets.

Hi, I just recently transferred to this theme and am experiences several formatting issues including my logo not loading on all browsers, inconsistent overlapping sections, and issues getting my portfolio galleries to display properly. Can I share screenshots to discuss this in more detail? Thanks in advance, -Carly at www.photographybycarly.com

If you’d like you can send us your screenshots directly to our email in the contact form -> https://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact

Also, in the future please contact us from the account that purchased this theme.

Hi I am struggling with the Portfolio Settings „Personal Portfolio“ I don’t really understand how I can add images?

Kind regards, Judy

You can add portfolio images in Portfolios on your WordPress admin, simply set the featured image in the bottom right like a blog post. Also, you can add images to the Gallery option so they will display in the gallery on portfolio single post (detail page).

Hi, i will buy your theme for a future work. Also can i convert my website under Vela to Overlap easyly (without duplicating or lost custom posts like testimonials and portfolio).

Regards.

You can add a Section Separator to the first row of footer page to use as a divider of the footer section. Also, you can import demo pages to see how it works.

For the buttons, it seems that you’ve figured it out since I’m now seeing they have the same width. Normally, the width will be changed by button text. You can also increase the bottom width by adding the padding in Design Options in the button settings window.

Hi Wyde, i import demo on the website, but it didnt import footer shapes, so i have no idea how it works.

Edit: i figured it out, seems its an elements call “section separator”, it was not easy since you have to diable every single padding but it work now. Also for button in figure it out too by just applying a width to all of them, maybe giving them a special class will make it less global, i’ll try it in the future?

Also i dont know if you can do anything about it, but i see that google font is call twice : https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/BGM65/http://v2.pont-roche.com/home/home-travel-blog/

When it could be only 1 request.

Regards.

It will be only 1 request if you have only 1 Google font on the page. As you can see in the results, you have 2 requests: 1 for “Lato” font and another one for “Playfair Display”, this is a standard method to include the Google fonts.

BTW, even if you have more than 1 request of the Google font but it’s not the problem and it won’t affect your page score at all. The only one suggestion about Google fonts is telling you that you should “Leverage browser caching” that is not relate to how many the Google font links you have. You should set the expiration date of your resources by using cache plugin or CDN but just ignore 2 links of Google fonts and let Google to handle it.

Hi,

I’ve just bought the template, I would like to know if it’s possible to put the logo on the top, center above the navigation. Is there an easy way to do this ? Thank you!

Hi,

You’ll need to add below custom CSS to Theme Options -> Advanced -> Head Content:


<style type="text/css">

    #header > .container{
        margin-top: 90px;
    }

    #header-logo{
        height: 80px;
        width: 100%;
        margin-top: -80px;
    }

</style>

Hi,

I didn’t have notification by email so I just found your answer.. Thank you!

Hi there,

is it possible to put more then one video into the portfolio section? At the moment it just gives me the option of adding one URL.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You can add your videos to the portfolio post by using Video Player elements from Visual Composer. To enable the Visual Composer on portfolio post, navigate to Visual Composer -> Role Manager on your WordPress admin, select Custom for Post types option, then select wyde_portfolio.

Hi, I don’t find how to change what’s in the sidebar of a blog category page. I would like to put things like author picture, instagram, mail chimp buttons, etc.. How can I do that ? :)

The blog category page displays the Blog Sidebar by default. You can manage widgets in this sidebar in Appearance -> Widgets, add/remove widgets in the Blog Sidebar.

Hi, I’ve recently purchase Overlap and am working on a Portfolio Page – which I would like to use layout 1. It mostly is showing correctly, but I don’t see where to add the top left image – I’m wondering if something is missing or if I just don’t see it?

Thank you! Beautiful theme.

Hi,

The top left image is a featured image of the portfolio, you can set it in the Featured Image box at the bottom right of the page like the blog post featured image.

Thank you (and duh on my part!)

Don’t worry, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

hey there…, thx a lot for that awesome theme.

yet struggeling with the functionality of the portfolio. unfortunately i have to load all projects in the ‘all’-overview, before i can use the selection (i.e. corporate) properly. it kind of worries me. by having a huge ammount of projects, it could happen that not all visitors will see them, because they go straight for the selection. is it possible to fix that?

one of the best themes i have seen so far anyways. :)

have a good one

Unfortunately, in the current version the filters work only on the portfolio items that are loaded and are currently showing on the pages. We will update it in the future update so it can load more items when you click on any category in the filters.

thx a lot. really appreciate it and looking forward to it. keep up the good work! :)

Thanks, it’s my pleasure :)

Is is a Bootstrap theme?

But it is possible to add my own css and js on the page in order to reproduce that menu, right?

I’m not sure it will work but you can try it since this theme allows you to add your custom CSS and JS to the page in Theme Options -> Advanced.

hi, how to add a video that when click pop up the video player as seen in some of the websites. i have seen VIDEO PLAYER page but it only plays within the page, how do i make the player pops out like lightbox image and then plays. thanks

Now it is available on only blog posts and portfolio posts. You can add a video URL to the media field so it will display as featured video at the top of post/portfolio page and it will play in the lightbox when you click on it, as you can see on this demo -> http://wydethemes.com/overlap/portfolio-item/portfolio-14/

BTW, we will add this feature to the Single Image element in the next update so when you click on any image, it will play the video in the lightbox.

To work around this, you can manually add it through the code as below:

1. Edit the page, add a Text Block element to the page. 2. Switch the text editor to Text mode. 3. Add the below code to the text editor:


<a href="https://vimeo.com/123431021" data-rel="prettyPhoto"><img class="alignnone wp-image-7229 size-full" src="https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/512762905.jpg" alt="vimeo-color" /></a>

4. Switch to Visual mode, change the image and the video URL. This will support only YouTube and Vimeo videos since the PrettyPhoto lightbox can work with direct URL from only these sites.

Hi! I want to add in portfolio`s post a social media “share” like the blog`s items. How can I do it?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no social media links in portfolio post in current version. Thanks for your question, we will add it in the next update :)

ok, no problem, I can wait :)

I have a question, can we have titles on the single image element in PrettyPhoto? I have images in the Single image element, but I want it to say what image they are looking at.

Unfortunately, the PrettyPhoto lightbox in the current version has no title, we will add it in the next update. Thanks for your question :)

Hi,

I have a few questions. Is it possible to show the background image of a row on tablet & smartphone? I’ve set a background image, but it’s not showing on tablet or smaller screens. Can you tell me how I can do this please?

Another question about the portfolio items. Is it possible to enable the hover text on the portfolio images? (title + category)

thank you for your answer

Lynn

Hi,

1. Actually, the background image will show on both desktop and mobile. Please make sure your row is not empty, if so that row won’t show on mobile and you won’t see background of the row at all. If you’d like you can send us your site URL so we can inspect this issue on your live site.

2. The hover text won’t work on small screen devices. When you visit your site on desktop and large screen devices, your portfolios will have the hover text on the portfolio images.

Hello, I’ve recently purchased your Overlap theme and in looking through the features that the Visual Composer supports, it should have a drop down menu that allows users to insert an image from an external source, however, the visual composer included in this package does not seem to be capable of doing this. Please advise?

1. For the page loading issue and the blank page issue in IE when reloading, I suppose they’re all related to the page loading times issue. Please try these to improve the page speed:

- Turn off Preload Images option in Theme Options -> General to disable pre-loading feature.

- Use any cache plugin and minify plugin to minify CSS and JS files on your site because there are many CSS and JS files on your site that came with your plugins. We use W3 Total Cache plugin that can create server caches and minify CSS and JS files, this can improve server performance and reduce the download times.

- Deactivate unnecessary plugins, please use as needed.

2. We will reduce the delay on Title Area gradient effect in the next update.

3. Regarding the white gap with a smiley face, this icon came with the Jetpack plugin, you can hide it in Jetpack > Site Stats as you can see here -> https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammy-not-recommended-for-serious-sites

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get the smiley fixed and the site is loading a little faster without the image I was seeing before. I’m still having issues with the jittery scrolling in IE but that could be a browser issue. I’m just not sure. Again, thanks. :)

I’ve tried it on my IE 11, everything is working fine.

Hi there,

I am struggling with the Portfolio page on my website: http://droneshots.co.za/index.php/portfolios/portfolio-grid-full-width

I don’t really understand how I can add all the images for the different filters? I checked the documentation, but can’t seem to find how to add the gallery on the Portfolio page?

Please help me with this. Thank you so much :-)

Kind Regards Alex

Hi there,

You can add a portfolio post in Portfolios on your WordPress admin, simply set the category for each post so it will have different filters, then set the featured image. You can import portfolios in Theme Options so you will receive demo portfolios to see how it works.

In pursuance of our last communication, I feel it pertinent to mention that mporting demo content goes through the Slider import easily. It is something other than slider. Please use following information to access the wordpress installation to learn/diagnose more about problem: www.msyre.com/wp-admin user: admin pass: VXdlObucbRaVHtf

We’re sorry but the demo content includes only 1 slider from the Creative Agency demo as stated in our documentation. Other sliders are included in the folder “Demo Content\Sliders” in the main download package. You’ll need to import those sliders manually in Slider Revolution page on your WordPress admin. For more on importing sliders manually please follow the instructions in our documentation.

Also, in the future please send your site credentials through a private message -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact because all comments are public.

Dear in response to your email: These values are very low than I have on my server. But Max Time was low which I have put to 300. : The other values are already more than suggested. But the Max time is set is suggested. Please check if that works at your end now. Regards

We’ve tried importing all and they’re all working fine on our computers.

I’m not sure what content that it was stuck. If it is a slider option you can import it manually in Slider Revolution page, click on Import Slider button and upload slider zip file from the “Demo Content/Sliders” in the main download package, as we provided in our documentation.

If it still doesn’t work, please send us your site URL and admin login credentials through a private message -> http://themeforest.net/user/wyde#contact so we can investigate this issue and help you figure it out.

I just imported demo content on your site and everything seems to work fine. BTW, you’ll need to add your images manually since all images are not included in demo content.

I can’t access your link, it says “Your client does not have permission to get URL”.

BTW, I suppose it’s related to low PHP configuration limits on your host, you should increase PHP limits to solve this issue, you can do this on your own by editing the file php.ini, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to the minimum as follows:

max_execution_time 300

memory_limit 128M

post_max_size 32M

upload_max_filesize 32M

Hello , theme looks great and really looking forward to use it for new project, can you please answer some presale questions: is it possible to use ‘ultimate vc addons with visual composer in this theme? Also can you later help with some css codes if needed to tweak up if needed?

Hello,

We’ve never tested the theme with this plugin so we’re not sure it will work. BTW, we do not recommend you to use other add-ons plugins since this theme comes with custom add-ons and features. Also, some elements/features from Visual Composer are disabled so you can use only the ones that are available in this theme as described in the theme features and as you can see on our demos.

Of course we can provide custom CSS to change/customize the theme if needed as you can see in the previous comments of this theme.
