Hi, what is the difference between this page build https://themeforest.net/item/foundry-multipurpose-html-variant-page-builder/11562108?s_rank=15
it looks really the same, why you released a new one, is it better?
Hello,
Pillar offers a different style to Foundry – there are also a wider array of blocks and a suite of home pages that are aimed for squarely at business / startups.
Cheers, Craig
Ok, thank you for details. One more question just before buying it. Are you using bootstrap for grid? After I export HTML I would like to implement some adjustments, I would be happy if you use bootstrap, please let me know.
Hi there,
Yes Pillar is using Bootstrap for the grid 
Craig
Great!!!! Thank you Craig!!!!
No worries
Separate question – why don’t you include modules from Foundry, Machine etc when creating Pillar? There are a number of sections from the previous themes I’d love to add when designing with Pillar/Variant, but am limited to the ones just in the latest theme. Pillar is really, really good (as was Foundry before), but it would be great to build on the features rather than replace them.
We understand that it is frustrating to update to new code and lose certain blocks. The simple reason is that the design is different. Certain blocks from one template will not always look good in another template’s design. Could you specify some blocks that you missed and we can consider adding an equivalent…
Hi guys, big fan here & user of Foundry, Machine & Pivot. One thing that has always bugged me a little is the need to go into each page after building to add metadata/tags. Is there any way of adding that option to the admin/variant panel so the pages are exported with metatags ready to go?
Or maybe I’ve just missed something! lol
Dave
I’ve just purchased Pillar and noticed that there’s a <title> metatag section when editing a page. Nice one!
Now if only you can add a <description> and <keywords> input area, and then a custom meta input (for analytics, webmaster and other <head> code) then I’ll be very happy!! I track all my sites with Piwik and need to add tracking code to each page.
Hi, and thanks for the great feedback. This is one of our most requested features, and we’ll prioritise this for an upcoming release of Variant.
Regards, James
Awesome as always!
Thanks for purchasing Isaac! Glad you’re enjoying it
Hi, about the Wordpress version, it will work on shopify too? Also, it will have a check out page? thanks!
Hi there,
It won’t be a Shopify theme but it will include WooCommerce integration so you can manage the e-commerce side entirely through WordPress.
Cheers, Craig
I cannot seem to find the Split Cover from the demo in Variant. Can you guide me?
Hi, we will rectify this and issue the section in the next update.
James
I am constantly having issues with the gear (for each variant) popping up above the mouse (hovering over pops up the “gear”, but when mouse over, it moves to another frame) and unable to make setting changes. I am perplexed with why this is happening. I can reproduce this on my mac, windows, chrome/safari, etc. Help!
Hello, we’d like to hear more details about this so we can fix any potential bug. Can you please open a ticket at http://mediumrare.ticksy.com and provide a screenshot/procedure to reproduce the bug.
Thanks, James
Waiting for the wordpress version as well, will it be possible to put a homepage with a slider and a blog list with the “cards small” design that keeps loading new blog posts as you scroll down under the slider as homepage? The theme looks amazing and complete btw, congrats!
Thanks! WordPress version is on the way. Infinite loading is a good idea – I will suggest it to Tom.
James
Hey guys,
From a start-up perspective, you may wanna have a sign-in/sign-up page in your build roadmap.
I know you guys already have a sample ready but maybe you want to have a few more that are more startup focussed than ecommerce. And add social auth to it
Hey there,
Thanks for the feedback on this! We’ll take this on board and get something on the roadmap for it
Thanks again, Craig
Any news on when the Wordpress version is coming?
Final touches are being placed on the WordPress version at the moment and a release is likely to come out within August
Does the regular License come with the icons?
Hello, yes the whole icon pack is included in the download package and you are licensed to use them on one website per license.
James
I’m currently trying to swap the icons on the top nav bar. Using some https://www.iconsmind.com says they have filled in glyph icons what CSS bem naming convention triggers that? Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
The filled icon set is actually a set of separate files which we will happily send along to you if you open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com with your email (the files are quite large).
Thanks, Craig
Hello, just purchased the theme. I cant find the blocks image with text and button like on http://pillar.mediumra.re/home-landing-service-4.html
Thanks for letting us know – this will be included in the nest update.
James
none of the galleries in Variant work when the data-filter is non-Ascii. Try this: (this code segment has four pictures divided into three groups. try it out. if possible offer us a fix. thanks!)

for some reasons chinese characters turned into ????. i’ll try again here if it doesn’t work i’ll use the support system instead.
data-filter-all-text=”????” data-masonry-filter=”???” data-masonry-filter=”???” data-masonry-filter=”???” data-masonry-filter=”???”
Hi Answered in your ticket on http://mediumrare.ticksy.com . Long story short – please convert chinese characters to HTML safe unicode before inserting into the tag text. You can use this site to assist: http://www.chinese-tools.com/tools/converter-unicode.html

@studiojcreative,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yd95v7uepd2m8q4/Screenshot%202016-07-27%2014.40.20.png?dl=0Remove these classes “hidden-sm” and “hidden-xs” from that div.
hidden-sm = hide on small devices
hidden-xs = hide on extra small devices
Thanks Simon for that assistance!

Hello James,
My pleasure, easy one 
Hi there,
Getting ready to launch our website using your awesome theme, but noticed a bit of a bug on the blog page – the sidebar that contains search features dissapears on mobile devices (both orientations on iPhone and vertical orientation on iPad). please tell me there is a fix for this? Normally, sidebars migrate above or below the other column in responsive layouts. i checked your original layout at http://pillar.mediumra.re/blog-vanilla-sidebar.html and it is happening there also.
our layout is at:
http://198.20.75.5/~peckelectric/news.phpThank for your prompt help, the template is great in all other regards!

Love your work
Is there a fast way to make a modal appear on scroll after x amount of pixels? I am using one page and need it to come down after 650px.
awesome and as ever thanks man!
bo
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing, glad you’re enjoying the template!
Currently there isn’t a ‘show after px’ feature for modals, though this is something I’ll place on our feature list for future development.
Thanks for your feedback
Craig
