Hello, i have a question before buying your time. First of all, i really like the design which i found very refreshing among other wordpress theme in themeforest. Unfortunaltely, i found that sometimes it takes a long time like more than 30 seconds to open your demo while on other themes it only take less tha 15 seconds. If i do buy your theme, can i do something to make the loading time a shorter ? Because i am afraid that no matter how good my site, if it take a long time to open it, it only brings frustration to the user. Anyway, i’m really looking forward to buy your theme
Thanks you
Sorry, i just found out that i put my comment on the wrong section, i should’ve put it on the wordpress section. But still, I’m looking forward to your answer. Thank you
Hi,
The WordPress version is to be released soon. Sign up to be notified via the link on the item details page.
As for the page speed, it may have just been our hosting – sometimes things time out. I have attached a screenshot of our Google Analytics showing the average load times for all pivot demo pages. Notice that the blog pages are longest to load (window fully loaded) due to external sources in iFrames such as soundcloud, youtube etc. possibly taking some time to load in.

Oke, thank you for your clear explanation about the loading time. I already submitted my email and i am waiting for the wordpress theme.
Cheers, Faiz
Hi,
First of all I wanted to congratulate you for this fantastic theme! It looks awesome!
Then I would like to ask if I can have log posts or should I have to wait for the WP version?
Also, I am not a SEO expert by any means thus I want to ask if there is significant difference between the HTML version and the WP version in terms of SEO quality…. What would you recommend?
Thanks a lot.

What font is used for the logo? Where can I download it for free?
Hello, that’s Axis and you can find it for free on Behance 
Does this use a plugin to change the text in the browser? If yes what plugin is it, and is there documentation for it?
No plugin necessary, this is standard now: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080610/editing.html
Hello. Congratulations for the work. Sorry, I’m using google translator. I can integrate Pangaea and Meetup with Pivot? Buying these others I can integrate them or just use one or the other individually?
Thank you so much.
Hey there,
Thanks for purchasing!
They can not be integrated together, they are just individual products 
i have tried your builder but there only one logo can add.
how to add another logo ?
Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for pointing this out! We will indeed look into this.
In the downloaded version you can just replace both the pngs with your own logos and the changes will show automatically in Variant 
I like your GUI, very clean. The CMS works offline in Apache box or it depends from some kind of online service? Can I install it on my mac and then work offline on a boat?
Another question, is there is anything specific, or I just run the LESS compiler in terminal using the lessc command the same way as any website?
Hey there!
You can indeed use Variant offline on your boat
Naturally things like twitter feeds, instagram feeds, youtube BG’s etc will require an internet connection to grab data but the rest will all function as per normal.
Best,
Craig
hi, amazing template,i am really interested in purchasing this, however can you please confirm this that when you have created a website using page builder, can we get the html files of the website and can we use the html version of the made site into any cms eg wordpress?
i guess i wont need wordpress right now
amazing amazing stuff
Hey there Mubbi,
It looks like you’ve already purchased but the builder will produce standard HTML pages just like any normal template, so you could then augment these with relevant PHP to work in a CMS but naturally this would be your own customization 
Thanks for purchasing!
Craig
i am glad i bought it, its just amazing to work with. Will be waiting anxiously for wordpress version now 
Thanks a lot for the support Mubbi 
What’s included if I buy the theme with the extended license. Can I build my own themes based on this template and sell it?
Hi,
No, you can’t sell themes based on this template as that would constitute redistribution of the item. Each license permits use for one project only (such as a single site you might build for a client), and if end users are charged a fee to access the end product (such as using this template to build a paid online service, like a stock photo library) then an extended license is required.
The template is sold under the same terms as any other Themeforest item. The template itself may not be resold as stock. The builder is included to make assembling pages and content easy and is not for separate use or sale.
Hope this clears things up 
James
Hello,
I haven’t used this personally but the builder exports standard HTML so any third party plugin will work as normal. Naturally you would add this after building in Variant 
Do you know of or recommend a better or different similar product? Thank you!
Hello,
I don’t I’m afraid!
Has the Pivot blog template ever been converted to WORDPRESS? Look forward to using this template!
Hello,
The WordPress version (with all included blog layouts / functions) will be released in a few weeks. You can sign-up to be notified via the item details page 
Awesome, thank you!
no worries 
What a great template, haleluja!!!
. Please keep the Pivot updates coming and also please keep great templates like this one coming. You made my day, week, month, year. Cheers.
PS: One thing I would like is to integrate content “blocks” from other templates e.g. the MeetUp template into the Pivot template. This would open up a lot more options.
Thanks so much for the lovely compliment! We will continue to expand Pivct’s repertoire via content updates 
Hi, I have problem to integrate videos in Pivot, where can I find examples of inline and Youtube videos. I need a fullwidth (12 col) video in my page. Thank You
Hello,
You can add these blocks in Variant, then right click and paste your own embed code 
We will add a 12 column video in the next update due today,. thanks for your suggestion 
Hello,
In the 1.4 update we have added a 12 column video 
G’Day mate,
Nicely done, Does it come with the source? I would like to integrate it within my website’s backend, so I don’t have to manually juggle with files. Does it come with documentation and what does that cover.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!
Hi There,
Sorry, but the source does not come included with Variant. You can view the full docs here: http://mediumra.re/pivot/docs/pivot_docs/ and here: http://mediumra.re/pivot/docs/variant_docs/ Full usage of Variant is covered in the docs. You can see a short demo video of Variant here: http://vimeo.com/99890705Or see more at http://www.mrare.co/variant
Cheers, James
Thanks mate, but I am looking for a solution to integrate in my site.
No problem 
hi, There! 
Is it html template?? how’s builder coded(is it a script)?? Technical details please. Is it like we can build a website using builder and later export the built html template to host??
Hello,
Yes it is a javascript app. You can export out of Variant to a .html file which you would then upload to your host in the standard way (via FTP etc)
I am doing this for a client but when uploading it also uploads variant, mail and video folders? how can I get this to not upload these? None of them are in the folder I upload
I upload without mail or variant folders, but somehow they still upload? please help so that these do not upload for the client too
Hello,
You should be able to just selectively upload what you want as standard practice. If you need some assistance you can open a ticket at our support forum at mediumrare.ticksy.com
Craig
on the expand element, is there a way to change it so they expand on click vs hover?
Hello,
We are going to build this into the next update 
Hello, this feature is now available in the 1.4 update 
Hi there! It is stated in the license that comes with the template:
“Some software used herein is licensed under the following licenses:
MIT license: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
GPL license: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html"
What does it mean “some software”? Could you please be more specific? Does it mean that the page builder can be used for personal and commercial use, for example HTML templates for sale.
Hello,
The license statement is included to satisfy the license requirements of some javascript code (jQuery plugins) that helps make Variant what it is. These are located in the variant/js folder.
The terms of each jQuery plugin are included in the header of those files in the Variant folder.
As stated in the header of Variant’s init.js, usage of Variant elsewhere is prohibited and any use of the product is governed by the Themeforest license.
To make a commercial page using Variant is fine. Using Variant to make a commercial product where users are charged for access requires extended license.
To use your licensed copy of Variant in a product that generates Pivot styled pages for sale or for a fee is not allowed as this is considered redistributing the item, and that is against the rules.
Let us know if you have any other questions 
Cheers, James
Is there a way to display and play an mp3?
Hello, there is currently no styling for hosted audio embeds, but you can upload to soundcloud and use the included soundcloud element
The theme has a “circular” theme with the main buttons and the such. This can be made to be squares, correct? For example; the “login” and signup buttons can be squares, correct?
Yes, you just need to adjust the border radius in the css
