Hello, thanks for contacting!

To activate a slider there is a need to use its purchase code. You don’t need a purchase code to make your slider work – it is needed to achieve updates. We are the owners of an extended license and have no rights to provide the purchase code for users but of course we provide you all necessary updates. Usually the latest slider updates are included to the new theme version.

The easiest way to make your site look like our demo one is to import demo content. The theme comes with a .xml file that allows you to import all the pages and posts like they are on the demo site. You can find this file in the Demo content folder you downloaded from the Themeforest together with the theme archive.

Please note, that all images are not included in the demo content and are substituted with placeholders as according to our license we can’t redistribute them.

The theme documentation contains rather detailed instructions concerning the demo content import – please look through it. The theme documentation can be found at the DOCS folder you downloaded from the Themeforest together with the theme archive. (open index.html file in any browser)

Should you have further questions please contact our support team at https://cmsmasters.net/support/

Thank you.

Hello, thanks for the question!

For the Instagram Feed we use the Instagram Feed plugin by Smash Balloon: https://wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/. After you activated it, you can add the Instagram Feed Shortcode with User Id to the any page you need: https://www.screencast.com/t/RbPGoIrbbb

Please don’t hesitate to ask further questions. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for contacting!

As much as we’d love to help, changing the way the comments are displayed requires significant modifications, that are beyond our support policy. Appreciate your understanding.

Some third party plugins might provide wider functionality for this purpose, but we can’t advise such plugins at the moment as we haven’t implemented tests.

Please feel free to ask any further questions about theme functionality, we’ll gladly answer them. Thank you!

Hello, thanks for asking!

There is no built-in Maintenance mode in the theme functionality, but we can advise you to use any appropriate plugin, it should work correctly with the theme. Appreciate your understanding.

Please don’t hesitate to ask further questions. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for question!

Sure, slider can be used to display images or post content, all this is a slider functionality and you can use it the way you like.

Thanks!

Ok great! Sorry just a few more questions… hope that’s ok! I’m just not familiar with what is and isn’t customizable…

Can I make the image on the about page a large square/rectangle?

Can I add an instagram widget to this theme? I’ve seen them on themes like this and I think it looks pretty: http://soigne.revolvethemes.com/posts-sidebar/

And finally… is it possible to display the full posts on the main page, rather than one photo, a small paragraph and a read more button? I prefer to use the read more button only for really really long posts, because images are my main focus I want to make them easy to skim on the landing page, minimizing how many times the visitor has to click to find content… (e.g. designlovefest.com for a reference of what I mean with scrolling content)

Cheers! x

Hi again, thanks for the questions!
Our support team works Monday to Friday and the response time might be up to 2 business days, that’s why we didn’t get back to you earlier. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please note that you can add the needed image to about page, choosing it from your media library.

For our demo we use the Instagram Feed plugin by Smash Balloon that allows to add your instagram photos using the Instagram Feed Shortcode. Hope it will be helpful.

As for the blog displaying – you can choose the metadata that you need to display in Blog Shortcode Settings. To display the full post text you can add it to the Excerpt field.

Thank you, should there be anything else you wanted to ask please do so!

Thanks for your reply!

We can’t provide any trial version of the theme. All our themes can be bought via Envato Market only as all the rights belong to this marketplace. Appreciate your understanding.

We don’t offer access to the dashboard, but there’s still a possibility to see how everything works on the backend. For this purpose please watch the videos you can find under Features menu item here. They are taken for another product from our portfolio, but general idea for Salinger is the same.

Hope it will be helpful, kindly let us know if you have any further questions!

I had a look at the link, so does that mean Salinger is pretty customizable then? Also, is the theme compatible with the Divi Builder Plugin? thanks!

Hi again,

Sure, the theme has universally useful functionality and the design can be customized, if required.

Concerning the Divi Builder Plugin – in fact we can’t guarantee its compatibility with Salinger theme, as we haven’t implemented such compatibility tests. Though we can’t deny mentioned plugin will work properly with our theme. Appreciate your understanding.

Let us know if you have further questions, thank you!

Hello, thanks for contacting!

The theme comes with a .xml file that allows you to import all the pages and posts like they are on the demo site. You can find this file in the Demo content folder you downloaded from the Themeforest.

Please note, that all the images are not included and are substituted with placeholders, as according to our license we can’t redistribute them. Please install the WordPress importer plugin, then proceed to the Tools-Import-WordPress, upload file and import. You’ll need to import the Content itself and the theme settings.

The sliders are imported separately, so you need to install the slider plugin and import the slider sample file.

The theme documentation contains rather detailed instructions concerning the demo content import (you can find it at the DOCS folder you downloaded with the theme archive – please open index.html file in any browser)

In case you experience any hardships with import, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team, we’ll gladly assist you.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for contacting!

Please see the Blog shortcode settings from our Home Puzzle page. Please note, that you should update both the shortcode and the page after any changes are applied. You might also want to check which exact page is currently selected to be a front one in Settings – Reading. Kindly let us know if you’ve managed to change the layout on your end.

Thank you!

I managed to change the layout. I was overthinking it. It is very intuitive and easy to use.

My other question was about the LayerSlider and Slider Revolution. it is asking me for a purchase code and leading me to their site. I am not sure how I am supposed to use these functions. Currently all the sliders in my demo content is just a gray background.

Great, glad to hear that!

As to the messages concerning purchase code in sliders – in fact purchase code isn’t required for slider functioning, it allows to get plugin updates via dashboard, though it’s not necessary as updates for the slider will be provided in theme updates on Themeforest. As much as we’d love to help, we can’t provide you with purchase codes as licenses prohibit that. But you can always contact us to get the latest slider version via email.

Demo content doesn’t include images as we have no rights to distribute them, though all necessary settings are available and you can use demo sliders for further elaboration, but with your own images.

Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!

Thanks for asking!

Sure, sidebars can be easily removed on any page/post.

Thank you, should there be anything else you wanted to ask please do so!

Thank you for the prompt response!

Perfect! One last question, how easy is it to change the colors of the theme? Is this built into a customization panel, or would it require doing so through CSS modifications?

Hi again! You can find fields for additional CSS classes for every section/column/shortcode, as well as a possibility to add such classes in General Settings. But in fact such fields are rarely used (for customizations mainly), as all theme colors can be managed via convenient dashboard settings.

Thank you!

Hi again, Lauren, thanks for your clarifications and further questions!

Let’s see, you can have 1 pixel gap puzzle portfolio or large gap puzzle. Is any of these variants suitable? As to the magazine – could you please specify your requirements so that we could check how our theme can satisfy them? What elements would you like to see on your online magazine website?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the quick response. Those look like great options. Is there a way to eliminate the white border so it meshes with the background?

The magazine will have several elements: travel, food, fashion, contests and will need submission and subscription components and space for people to advertise. Creative works and academic works in all formats accepted.. photography, video, audio, written articles etc.

Does that help?

Thank you again for all your patience and answering all my questions. I truly appreciate it.

Thank you for your kind words! Our support team works Monday to Friday, that’s why we didn’t get back to your earlier.

You can settle any background color or image for the portfolio section (and, in fact, any section of content).

Thank you for the details. We’d suggest you using blog and portfolio functionality for travel, food, fashion, contests topics – as corresponding shortcodes have all required settings to divide topics by categories, to differ in front-end displaying and can be suitable for your purpose. For advertising we can offer sliders or featured blocks. Subscription feature is available as well, any requests/submissions can be sent and received via contact forms. As to photo/video/audio/texts – all these formats can be used with our blog posts, you can see them under Features menu item.

Please let us know if you have any further questions! Thank you!

ooops, sorry, found answer to hide Author

Hi, thanks for contacting and for your feedback!

Author mentions can be disabled on every post separately. Or for all posts, that will be created in future, at once – in Theme Settings – Single Posts – Posts – Post Author.

As to an infinite scroll – please follow our instructions to enable it. First of all please proceed to Theme Settings – Elements – Custom Codes – Custom Javasript and insert the code you can see below:

jQuery(document).ready( function () {
    (function ($) {
      function x(){$('.infinite_scroll ~ .cmsmasters_wrap_more_posts .cmsmasters_post_loader').click();}
   setTimeout(x, 2000);
    })(jQuery);
})

And save changes. Then open appropriate Blog shorcode and add infinite_scroll class to Additional Classes field. Please select “Load More button” option and leave Posts Number empty. That’s it!

Please let us know if the result meets your requirements. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your interest!

We haven’t tested Dreamweaver with Salinger theme and that’s why can’t recommend using it. In fact there’s no need in such software and any coding modifications, you can add content via user-friendly dashboard and content composer, any settings can be altered in the dashboard as well.

Please feel free to ask any further questions. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your interest!

Sure, you can see a full width slider slider on our Home page! Other elements, especially image backgrounds can be easily settled to full width as well. Kindly let us know if you have any further questions.

Please note, that our support team work Monday to Friday, that’s why we didn’t get back to you earlier. Appreciate your understanding.

Thank you!

Thanks for the answer!

You’re always welcome!
