Hi, is there any full with Vimeo video background ? Thanks in advance ;-)

Hi there,

No – there is a fullwidth Youtube video background however, you can see this on this page: http://pillar.mediumra.re/elements-video-backgrounds.html

Cheers, Craig

Hi! Love the theme, but I want to make a web app with it… does it have Angular 2 support?

Hi there,

Thanks for the compliment!

Pillar is pure HTML so you’d need to make arrangements for Angular yourself – there is no in-built angular features.

Cheers, Craig

Hi, There seems to be an error with the video headers in Internet explorer/Edge The video plays automatically but doesn’t span 100% of the width. Is there a fix for this or can we force the browser to fall back to the background/placeholder image?

We’ll check on this and get back to you.

James

Adding feature: at the bottom of the cover image put an arrow/other graphics indicating scrolling down? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback – we’ll add this to our to-do list.

James

In the file: elements-twitter.html, in Pillar 1.4.1, although you use your own Twitter feed mrareweb, I do NOT see any of the tweets in the footer. Thanks.

Hi,

To add a twitter feed, use the following markup anywhere in a page:

<div class="twitter-feed">
    <div class="tweets-feed" data-feed-name="mrareweb" data-amount="2" />
</div>

I can see the feeds in the footer of my version and on the demo. Do you have AdBlock disabled? Sometimes these plugins can disable social feeds and social icons.

Hello, I can’t find the custom.css file. I created it in the theme root but it doesn’t seem to work. Can you help me please ?

Hi there,

Apologies for the confusion – it appears you’re using the WordPress version of Pillar. This is the HTML version. You’ll need to contact TommusRhodus (the WP author) for support here: https://tommusrhodus.ticksy.com/

Best, James

Hello,

Indeed, sorry for the confusion and thank you for your help.

Kind regards !

Hi. Can you say how I can quickly change the font in html-Demo-page. I link another google-fonts inside html-files. What css-files I should change?

Hi there,

You can do this in custom.css where you switch your font on the relevant text elements, for example to change the font on the paragraph element:

p{ font-family: ‘My-Font’, ‘Helvetica’, sans-serif; }

Cheers, Craig

please update Twitter Post Fetcher (v16.0.3) script. and make the ability to display tweets without the Widget ID’s – updated the script allows you to do this.

Done :) An update will be released soon (it is submitted, and is in the queue) you should receive an email when the update is approved. Just use data-feed-name to choose which twitter feed to show.

Hey, is there a version without variant? I already bought Pivot.

Hi there,

Pillar comes with Variant included but you don’t necessarily need to use it if you prefer not to – you can just use the plain HTML.

Cheers, Craig

Hi,

I have hard to make the YouTube video for background in cover to load live. I get that it is mixed content. I have everything in https:// but the “ytplayer.min.js” is loading it in http://.

It points on this line in the file: “ytplayer.min.js” of inspector in Chrome:

“src: jQuery.mbYTPlayer.locationProtocol + ”//www.youtube.com/iframe_api?v=” + jQuery.mbYTPlayer.version”

How do I solve that?

Best regards,

Hi there,

Apologies – I’m having a little trouble understanding what the issue is here. Would you mind opening a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com so we can discuss in detail?

Thanks, Craig

Hi Medium rare,

Do you have plans for the next update adapt the height from the boxes according to the content? https://monosnap.com/file/bv0jvpLcKbor8NuWQZgiu0xInQ3IPn

Thanks so much, BTW here another user using pillar ;-) www.lastpeanutreserve.com

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing the site!

You can do this by adding the following code to custom.css:

.feature-1 p{ min-height: 0; }

Cheers, Craig

Perhaps, I don’t explain it well. I want the 3 boxes with the same height. (with the height from the biggest) like https://css-tricks.com/fluid-width-equal-height-columns/

Apologies for the mis-understanding, the default CSS (not the one mentioned above) caters for this by setting a min-height on the p elements inside the feature, this means that you can set the min-height to the maximum height of your paragraphs. This is not an ‘automatic’ solution but generally an easy fix that works well inside a responsive media query without the need to use flexbox (back-browser compatible)

Just wondering what the plans are for the next update – I’ve no requests, but don’t want to embark on a new project if the update is going to include the ability to control the space shuttle or something cool!

Hey Rob,

The next update will mainly be some tweak / bug fixes, also some improvements to Variant’s page management :)

Craig

the download pack contains the psd files?

No – this was not designed in Photoshop.

Craig

Hey guys. I’m having trouble with logo sizing. Essentially, every time I upload my logo (as a PNG file) I get a totally shrunken version and I cannot resize to a normal size (e.g. like the Pillar logo). How do I go about tackling this? Are there specific requirements regarding dimensions?

Hi,

Please open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com an we’ll be able to assist you there :)

James

How do you map the pages to the navigation bar? Sorry for the dumb question

Hello,

This will depend on what you name the resulting html files. Each page is an html file, and you can simply change the links to those files in the menu. If you name your contact page contact.html, you would change your link to contact in the menu to contact.html.

Hope this helps :)

James

Hey guys, We’re getting slammed with spam using the contact form. Anyway to add a honey pot or if not, captcha?

Hi there,

I can guide you on how to add captcha functionality to the forms. Please open a ticket at http://mediumrare.ticksy.com

I do not see the menu in full screen on the variant page builder and the demo if this is something I do not understand, I hope your answer before buying.

Hello, thanks for the enquiry, but I do not understand your question. Which menu are you not seeing? Please link to a page.

James

This menu type is only available in plain HTML for the time being – we’re working on new features that will make this possible inside Variant.

Hello, You support site keeps saying I have not purchased any of your products. I just need to know if you can template for displaying content in 3 or 4columns neatly.

And I don’t understand why your support keeps saying that my account have not purchased any product from you. I’m surprised.???

Hi there,

Apologies for the issues you had with support – the system has recently been overhauled and we’ve experienced some minor outages.

As for displaying content in three columns, you’d use this column code:

div class=”col-sm-4” div class=”col-sm-4” div class=”col-sm-4”

and for four columns:

div class=”col-sm-3” div class=”col-sm-3” div class=”col-sm-3” div class=”col-sm-3”

Cheers, Craig

I tried to submit a ticket but it says that the purchase code is invalid. I’m copying directly from the license txt file I downloaded from Envato, and have double checked this 3 times. I’ve even tried removing the dashes from the purchase code.

My purchase code is fe4fc724-83fb-400d-a8be-5b0653e2665b

Here is my question:

I’ve already purchased Pillar, but also want to purchase Foundry. Is it possible to use elements from Pillar and Foundry in the same webpage? Seems that it would cause a conflict in the stylesheets, but I wanted to ask.

Sorry but that will not be possible to mix the templates. We changed many class names etc. between those two releases, and they are not compatible. James

Hi Craig, I am planning to re-purchase Pillar as i can’t stop myself adoring your awesome product. But being a designer, its bit a task for me to use. My two queries are about: 1. Navigation: a) How to add shopping cart to the top nav? b) I noticed there is a bug in while using the builder, when i add navigation and remove that, then add another one…it gets doubled…can you please check? 2. Overlap: How to achieve the overlapping of blocks as seen on this demo: http://pillar.mediumra.re/home-portfolio-personal.html ?

Hi there,

1) a: That addition would need to be done in HTML at this time b: That double-up is a known bug and we are releasing an update soon that will fix it.

2) That alteration would need to be done in HTML also.

If you are more confortable working in WordPress, perhaps you would be interested in the WordPress version?

Thank you Craig for the info, I would love to use wordpress but i never get to understand how to use it…local servers etc…
