Hi, I’m on concrete5 8.5.0. I have purchased and downloaded a template on an external site but don’t know what to do or where to save it to make it appear in the Dashboard/Pages & Themes menu to be able to use it. Can somebody help me to solve that stupid issue? Also how can I start using the samples in purchased in the template if I installed Concrete5 with some website example (Element)? Shall I delete all the pages from element and than switch template or is there a more elegant solution. Thanks in advance for your help.
purchase was made here on envato market actually. Template is Ever After. Sorry just see that I’m on the wrong post. Will publish on the right one.
Sound good, thanks!
Hey,
I should have checked before buying this. It does not work with Concrete 8.3.2. You mentioned that you are working on making the template work latest. Can you provide me fix or refund the purchase please?
Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, this addon is for the previous version but I’ll be happy to provide you with a copy of our Concrete5.8 version that is currently under review. Do you have an email I can send it to?
xxcriversxx
Please email it raajkumar.subramaniam@masalaartisans.com. Thanks
Got it!
Hello, just purchased sweetpea theme but cannot install on concrete5 version 8.2.1. message is : unknown package + This package is corrupt. Make sure it has a valid controller.php file and has been updated to concrete5.7 and above
can you help me please ?
Hi, I plan on releasing a version for 5.8. Would you like to be notified once it’s available?
xxcriversxx
Approved!
Hi there,
I did not realize that we are only using Concrete5.7 before I purchased the concrete5.5/concrete5.6 version of this template – my developer did not tell me. I only bought this a few hours ago. Can you switch me over/upgrade me to the newer version?
Please let me know.
Hi, I will be happy to assist you. The 5.7 version is still undergoing review which should take no longer than a week. I will be happy to upgrade you as soon as its ready! 
Hi there, I am checking in again to see if this has been completed yet. When should I expect it?
Hi, this will be ready by the end of next week. What is your email address so I can notify you?
And the end of next week is what date? This is confirmed now?
Thanks!
It has been yet another week. Will I be receiving the newer version today?
Hi, I’m still awaiting approval. If you’d like, I could send you an advanced version of 0.1 and then provide you with an update when it goes through.
Ok, that works for me at the moment. Please forward along. An update soon would be helpful.
And by that I mean that you can forward me an advanced version of 0.1 for now.
Did you get my message? I have not yet received anything. Are you going to send it to me now? Or does that also have some timeline?
I have still not received an email. Any update on when I will be receiving this version?
Yes, I will have someone on my team reach out in the next day or so.
Ok, another day.
Thought I would check in again. Is this update that was mentioned coming to me today, tomorrow, later the week? I would like a specific timeline.
Hi,
Realistically, please allow up to two weeks. If it gets approved sooner, I will send you a quick update. The current version needs just a tad more work.
xxcriversxx
So, it is yet another 2 weeks just for a possible update, that was told to me would be available 2 weeks ago, making it more than a month late. Which is already months later than it was supposed to been provided? You are not remotely giving me any confidence in your ability to get this done, your timelines, or your support. This is not good service, especially given the initial work that you did on your previous version. I would like my money back.
Hi, I will get someone on my team to start that process today.
Thanks!
It has been a week now. Has the process that you mentioned started yet?
Yes, the process has started. However, Is there any chance I can talk you into the update promised?
If the update is ready now for 5.7 or even 5.8 then yes. Otherwise no.
No worries, your refund is in process mate! Cheers.
Hi, your refund has been approved. Apologies for the inconvenience with the Concrete5 versions. Our team ended up having to rework the theme for the latest concrete5.8 release instead of just launching for 5.7. Take care and good luck with your business!
Am I able to use the Sweat Pea as a home page and content page for my website as I have thousands of products.
I just want to update my home page with parallax blocks as you have in Sweat Pea.
Hello,
Yes you are able to create the homepage as outlined in the demo and interior pages as well. Let me know if you need assistance getting started!
xxcriversxx
I am running concrete5 5.7.5.9 and getting an error when trying to install sweetpea. (error Broken package (handle theme_sweetpea).)
I haven’t renamed. Pls help ASAP
Hello,
I will be happy to assist you. This theme was designed for the concrete5.6 version. Please download that version and try it again. Alternatively if you can wait a week, we will be releasing a brand new version of this theme for Concrete5.7 and above.
Let me know!
Great! Look forward to it. Will i need to purchase again or will you provide upgrade as I cannot use versions below 5.7
Hello, the concrete5.7 version is an entirely different item so you will unfortunately have to purchase a new license. However as a token of my appreciation, I will be happy to provide you with a partial credit toward the new item.
Cheers! xxcriversxx
ok. a little disappointing as I cannot use that licence at all due to we aren’t allowed to go backwards in version. Pls let me know when the new version is released. Thx
Hi, No worries on your disappointment. I promise to compensate you well for your next purchase to make it fair.
Cheers! xxcriversxx
Thank you
Please send me a message using the form on my profile page including your request so I can make sure to update you the moment this is available.
Hello
Is there an ETA on when this may be available for 5.7? I just purchased it not realizing that this has not been set up for 5.7 yet.
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out. My team is actually working on the 5.7 version as we speak. When are you planning on rolling your website out?
Hey xxCriversxx – yesterday – LOL… when do you think it may be completed (like weeks or months?)... i can put up a basic one and then install sweetpea if it is almost completed.
Hi, yes I’m sure everything needs to be completed yesterday. This is pretty far along already however I have a very time consuming QA/testing process to run everything through which I can assure you will put this at least a couple weeks away.
We do this to prevent issues with the product and reduce the amount of support requests by users. Building a sound product is my goal with every item that I release.
Let me know if you would like me to email you upon submitting.
Cheers! xxcriversxx
That would be fantastic! Thanks Crivers! I will just put up a shell until Sweet Pea is ready. I as well would rather have it done right the first time, instead of updating constantly to fix bugs If it takes a couple extra weeks, I am totally cool with that
Perfect, can you please provide me with your email address?
Just sent you a PM
Got it, thanks!
Hi xxCriversxx – is there any update?
Yes, this will be available in a couple of days! 
How is the testing going?
Very well, I should have a release ready soon!
Hi – any update?
Hi, not yet but if you can send me a message using the form on my profile page—I can notify you as soon as it comes available!
hello Im receiving the following error:
This package is corrupt. Make sure it has a valid controller.php file and that it has been updated to 5.7 and later.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hi, you’re receiving this error because you need to use Concrete5.6. In the future, I plan to offer this as a 5.7 theme also however the marketplace is still dominated by 5.6 users so I’m waiting on the popularity to pick up.
Download the latest version of concrete5.6 and you’ll be all set!
Thanks! it works!
Perfect!
I have the Avada Architecture theme and would lov eto use Instagram Journal as a plug-in. Instead of having a blog, I want to have an Instagram page on my website. Is that possible with Instagram Journal? Thank you so much for your help!!!
Hi, it looks like you posted in my sweetpea theme forum but I will be happy to help you nonetheless. Yes Instagram Journal works great with Avada. Let me know if you need help getting started.
I would love help, how do I get started?
Sounds good, just go ahead and download the plugin and install it.
Cheers,xxcriversxx
Hello, I’m having issues with creating an external link in the site map, the link shows up fine but just redirects to the home page instead of externally?
Hi, I will be happy to assist you. Is this link in the general content or in the navigation?
xxcriversxx
Will this work with the current 5.7.3.1 release of Concrete5?
Martiar,
Since 5.7 isn’t fully in production just yet, we do not support it but we will in the coming months. However, that’s not to say that it doesn’t work in Concrete5.7. We just recommend using version Concrete5.6 instead since most add-ons only for only work on this platform as well.
I hope this helps,
xxcriversxxThank you for the super-fast response. I will give it a shot and see what happens.. If it does not work I can always revert to a 5.6 installation and wait for support. Again. I really appreciate the fast answer that alone is worth every penny.
Thanks for the good feedback. I do my best so it’s nice to hear something positive for once. Let me know if you need anything else!
xxcriversxx
Does not work on 5.7 (yet). In case you were wondering. It works just great in 5.6.3.3 though.
I do have another question if you have a second. What determines the order of the blocks on the page going down? It appears to be the order they are created, but that may be a problem down the road if you want to create content and add it higher up on the page.
Thanks again. Great Theme.
Good question, it’s based on the order of the pages. In concrete5 you can easily reorder pages by dragging them around in the sitemap of the dashboard.
Also, thanks for confirming 5.7. I figured it wouldn’t since its such a drastic update. They completely changed the entire package and block interface.
xxcriversxx
Hello, I have just purchased this theme and am having a bit of trouble going through the documentation. Certain “blocks” aren’t showing when I assign particular templates to pages. Can we speak more on this via email?
Sure, send me a message using the form on my profile page.
Hello,
Great template but I am struggling with it. The menu items do not link to anywhere and how do you get each page scrolling up etc?
Also adding an image to the Intro Background just adds an image block, I dont really follow your documentation. Is there a tutorial that talks you through how you built the demo site?
My site is bare bones just now at www.laclinichamilton.co.uk
Kind regards Scooter
Are you using the html version or the concrete5 version?
xxcriversxx
Hello, I was using the concrete5 version, I currently have another template enabled on that site when you looked. I would really like to get your template working but as I say I just dont follow the documentation.
Kind regards Scooter
Scooter, I will be happy to help you get started. Want to send me your email address so I can provide you with some extra material that may make life a lot easier?
Thanks,
xxcriversxxExcellent, thanks and email sent
Thanks!
Hi, I’m very happy with the theme, except from one thing. It keeps deleting my content, every time I go to full sitemap and add a new page. Its pretty annoying that when I go back to the site, theres noting on either of my slides. Is there a bug or what’s happening?
You are the first to experience this with my theme. Are you sure it’s not something with your setup? Can you run me through the bug and send me a link?
I’m testing it on a local server, so unfortunately I can’t send you a link. The problem seems to be that if I add content when I’m on one page, it wont show up when you go to another page through my sitemap. Say I have a home page, a gallery page and a contact page. If I add content while on the gallery page, it wont be shown when I go to my home page or contact page through the sitemap. I can see the slides/pages, but they have no content. Only when I go back to the gallery page, it is shown. And so on with all the pages. Am I only supposed to add content when on the “home” page?
I’m not fully clear on whats going on but allow me to provide some insight. When using concrete5 page content is all managed on the actual page itself. For example, you want to add content to the “About Us” page, you have to navigate to this page, enter edit mode, and add content to the page. Once this is done, you need to click the publish button to approve changes. Have you completed the following steps?
xxcriversxx
Hi, I know this and that’s my exact problem in this case. You know how this theme displays all the pages when you scroll down. well if i do navigate to the about us page (through sitemap in the dashboard) and enter edit mode and fill it with content, it wont show up when i scroll down on any of the other pages, and so on and on. I’ll see if the same problem occurs when I upload it, and then I’ll be able to show you. It’s not a big issue for me, I’ll just apply all content to the slides on the main side (home) and it works, but my clients will for sure get confused if they apply content to the about us and its not showing up on the home page. I’ll get back to you if the problem occurs online.
Ah, I see what you are saying now. Yes, any page set to one of my custom templates takes content for the home page. If you would like interior pages, you need to use a one of the standard templates instead. The content is all managed on the home otherwise. Does this make sense?
xxcriversxx
Yes, thank you I have 2 more questions for you. I would like to have a gallery on my page (not from Instagram). I have tried different responsive galleries, but none seem to be working well on the phone. Is there a normal gallery package that fits your theme? Also, I don’t like the way the big pictures are cropped on a mobile device. Can I change it somewhere? My site is now live at justplaying.dk.Thx
I just tested the demo of your theme on my phone, and it looks great, I must be doing something completely wrong
No worries, I just looked at your site. I notice a couple of issues with the addons you are using but we can easily resolve them. If you could send me a message with a list of your issues, I’ll write some code to clean up some of the third party plugin issues you are having.
xxcriversxx
Super I’m fully satisfied with the website version so it’s only the mobile version that troubles me.
Here are my issues:
1: I can’t see the pics in the gallery when i click on them. screen goes black. it’s as if they are of the screen area. I’m using the bootstrap image gallery package for C5 right now and it should be responsive.
2: The background (big) images are not scaled properly on slide/page 1, 3, 5 + 7.
3: The heading (h2) is too big on slide/page 2,4 and 6.
4: The list text (li) too big on exhibitions slide/page
And then a couple of minor things:
5: In general logo, menu, gallery and contact page is not fully aligned in the center.
6: when using menu to navigate gallery and contact page don’t come up all the way, have too scroll to get the last bit (too much space in top maybe).
That’s it, if you can help me fix those things I’ll be one of your happiest customers
No problem, lets see what we can do.
1. I’m not sure whats happening here but you will need to contact the author of that plugin for support.
2. How big are these images you are uploading? Can you send me a link so I can take a better look?
3. You need to add some custom css to make these font sizes match your needs.
4. Again, if you don’t like the styling included with the theme, you will need to simply add your own css to modify them.
5. Please send a link so I can better help.
xxcriversxx
You can see the website here www.justplaying.dk. I think there’s a general problem with the resizing. The demo is responsive, but my site is not. Testet it on samsung and Iphone. I shouldn’t have to change the css when I’m happy with the sizes on the demo.
I just took a look at your site and It is appearing to be responsive. However, many users prefer different customization for their sites. What in particular would you like changed?
xxcriversxx
Hi again,
I just want it to look and work like the demo and it’s not at the moment! These issues are all related to the mobile version, so it’s a resizing problem I think.
This is not a customization issue and I’m shocked that you can’t see my point. I have already told you what I’m not happy with, but I’ll do it again.
The background images on slide/page 1, 3, 5 + 7 are not resized on a mobile phone, they are cropped!
The headings (h2) on slide/page 2, 4 and 6 are not resized. They are way too big for mobile and nothing like the demo.
Same goes for the list text (li) on my exhibitions slide/page. It’s not resizing like on the demo.
On the demo everything is nicely aligned in the middle (logo, menu, gallery and contact page). It is NOT on my page.
When I use the menu to navigate, the gallery and contact page don’t come up all the way, I have too scroll to get the last bit (too much space in top maybe).
All of these things work in your demo, and all I’m asking for here, is for the product I bought to work according to the demo version I have seen.
Furthermore I would like to add a gallery (not Instagram) and all the gallery’s I have tried won’t work with your template. Do you know of a gallery that will work (be responsive in your template).
Thanks
It’s unfortunate that you are experiencing these issues. It is a lot harder for me to assist you without a link. I assure you that the version of the theme used in the demo is the exact same thing as what you have. There must be something wrong with your implementation because no other user has had this issue before. Take a look at the error console in either firefox or chrome to see if anything red shows up.
xxcriversxx
Hi, I am interested in this theme but have a couple of questions please.
1. Is the home page full screen image a slider or can a fullscreen slider addon be used there.
2. I really like the way the nav moves from bottom to top in your EVERAFTER modern theme. Can this be achieved with the C5 Sweet Pea theme?
Thanks
Hello, I will be glad to assist you. See below for my comments.
1. No, the homepage fullscreen is not a slider. But I could add this in if you need it.
2. I’m not sure I understand your question here. Can you explain?
xxcriversxx
Hi! I have bought this theme but i am having the same problem someone else raised 7 months ago. Did you find a fix for it?
mysql error: [1146: Table ‘Concrete5_9.pkgThemeSweetpea’ doesn’t exist] in EXECUTE(“SELECT * FROM pkgThemeSweetpea. Copied from the other comment the only difference is my DB name is different.
Yes, the issue was caused because the user was trying to install this as a theme instead of a theme package. The user was able to resolve his issue by moving the files downloaded at Themeforest from the themes directory and into the packages directory. Once here follow the standard steps to install package.
This is a very clean and simple way to provide a one click installation. Let me know if you need anything else!
xxcriversxx
Ooops! Your solution worked fine, new to Concrete5. Thank you very much for getting back to me, i appreciate it!
One other question, i hope its a quick answer for you. Is it possible to add a new page so that it displays int he navigation BUT it directs to a completely different page and does not add a section to the ‘home’ page? I have tried look for the solution but couldn’t find the answer.
Also, cani have different instagram albums serving different pages of the website using the same account?
I’ll write a custom block to display an image gallery from the database, thats no problem. If you could get back to me about adding a navigation button that does not add a section to the home page but instead directs user to a new page that would be great. Could i alter the code stored in the db for the url link?
Yes this is definitely possible however I have not provided a way to control this in the CMS. I’ll add this functionality with the next version update available this week.
xxcriversxx
Ah fantastic! Looking forward to the update. I won’t try and ‘fudge’ it i’ll wait for it. Thanks a lot!!
Hi, I’m having problems with the C5 install. Getting this message:
An unexpected error occurred. File /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/westminster/concrete/themes/theme_sweetpea/default.php not found. All themes need default.php and view.php files in them. Consult concrete5 documentation on how to create these files.
I put the files in the “Themes” folder then installed it through the Dashboard. Seems to be looking for default.php in the wrong place. Any ideas?
Thanks, Carlo
Hello mate. Yes, you are experiencing this because you are trying to install it as a standard theme. This is a premium theme which means its bundled with blocks and additional plugins. As a result, you have to install it as a theme package.
To do so, move the folder you downloaded from Themeforest to your packages directory. Navigate to your Concrete5 admin panel and click Extend concrete5. Here you will find package that is ready to install. With one click, it will install the theme, the instagram theatre plugin and all other needed assets.
Enjoy!
xxcriversxxExcellent! I now see that you explained all this in the documentation. Thanks for obliging me regardless.
However, I don’t see any blocks to edit besides the logo area. The content area is blank except for the blinking “scroll down” arrows. I’ve clicked on different templates and all the same. Did I miss something?
No problem. Ok you must now create pages in your sitemap and give them the pagetype you’d like. For example, make a new page under “home”. Give it a pagetype of general content. Finally go back to the home page and enter edit mode. You will now see content blocks in the section you just created.
Understood?xxcriversxx
xxcriversxx, thank you, what you said made the pages work but I can only ago 2 levels deep and then they no longer show up in edit mode even though it’s in the nav. Also the Instagram package is not showing up in my blocks. I went to the block types and it is not listed. Do I need to buy this separately?
Lastly, is the intro-callout able to function like the theme settings box you have posted on your demo?
WC_Bellevue,
I’m glad that worked. See below for my comments to your questions.
1. Yes, this is not designed to show pages 2 levels deep on the front page. You can use sub-pages as interior pages but if you want them to show up on the home, you must make them top level.
2. Instagram Theatre is included, no need to buy separately. To use it you simply need to manage the settings on the dashboard. In the lower right hand side, you should see a section titled “Sweet Pea”. Here you can manage your settings as described in the documentation. Next, you create a new page in your site map with the Instagram Template. This will automatically initiate Instagram and pull in your photos.
3. Yes, the theme is designed to function exactly like my demo if you’d like. What are you unable to do?
xxcriversxx
Thanks for the response.
1. Sorry, I didn’t mean to say 2 levels deep. Only the top 2 “top level” pages are displaying and then no more show up. (However, I did make 2 image templates that were 2 levels deep show up somehow). Pages “photos” and “media” will not appear for editing and they are top level, #3 & 4 down on the site tree. See here: http://westminstersol.org/
2. I found the Instagram instructions in the documentation and followed them. For some reason, the block doesn’t seem to be installed. I went to Dashboard>Sweet Pea>Manage and entered the access token etc. I’m stuck where the documentation says “Once here, click on the plugin—“Instagram Fancybox For Concrete 5” to install it.” The Fancybox is not listed there for me to select and install. (http://dev.chrisriversdesign.com/concrete5-instagram-fancybox/c5-documentation/)
3. Callout: I like the grey box with text and buttons contained in it. How do I create that? Right now I just have text/links floating in that area and they moves up and down with the Intro instead of how the demo locks it in place while scrolling
My plan is to use SweetPea as a front page and another theme for some other pages. So far this has worked well because pages below the first top few don’t show up in SweetPea so I just keep those pages below in the site tree. I’m just hoping to get a couple more layers (pages) on SweetPea to show up – probably Generic, Instagram, and Outro below what I already have. (Click on the button “EVENTS” on the Intro to see one of these other pages).
This is typically a very easy theme to use. To make life easier, care to send me a message with temporary login access? I will be happy to set you up myself!
xxcriversxx
Thank you very much. I sent a message with login info.
Got it!
Hi I have problem with Instagram. I supplied token and user id but nothing happens page is blank or there are random photos from Instagram not from selected account.
Can you please assist with this

Hi Just purchased your theme and I have 3 minor issues other than that great theme.
1 How to change logo when you scroll down just like in your example?
2 Layout of the 2 column page is overlapping? Please have a look www.cafe82.com.au
3 Title for Galery and Menu is duplicated? Please have a look www.cafe82.com.au.
Also would you have buttons for google +
Regards
Alex
Thanks for the positive feedback! See below for comments on you issues.
1. The logo pulls from two separate images as you scroll. First, it is looking for two images. See the below to see how the CSS works.
#header .logo a {
background: url("images/logo.png") no-repeat;
}
#header.minimized .logo a { background:url("images/logo-min.png") no-repeat; }
2. Looking at your site, it appears that you have two column 1’s somehow. Please try removing one of the first blocks. Also make sure you don’t have any mal formed html.
3. Once again, you have an extra content area. Mostlikely with no content in it. Please look in your editor and remove any blank h2 tags.
xxcriversxx
Hello Chris, I have been working on the Sweet Pea theme for quite a while (html version) but it never seems to work properly on mobile devices. How can I disable the responsive feature and have it just like on a regular browser version?
andrescuervo, It should work perfectly in mobile. What’s not working for you in mobile?
