Hi,
Great theme! I’m using it on my website, but I have one question.
Is it possible to provide multilingual support?
Hi, I love the look of the theme, thanks for sharing it around. I was wondering if you are going to alter the slider floating to the left ? It looks a bit weird on large screens (which are pretty common nowadays). Please fix this if you have a chance _/\_
Hi Grace
Thanks for using the theme. Did you try and use large width images?
Yes I have used large images and that doesn’t help. I am wondering if I should use a different template without the slider and insert a different one (like Soliloquy, which I have elsewhere on the site) ??
Hi Pavan,
Nice to meet you after your theme.
Just 1 question: on a very large screen (24″), the slider float on the left of the screen but the right arrow stay on the right place. There is something wrong.
Could’you help me ?
Hi Philippe,
Its been reported couple of times. At present, I dont have high res screen where I can fix and test. Will keep you updates on this. Bootstrap framework used in this theme has max container size of 1200px. Need to look in to that.
Thanks For using the theme.
Hi Pavan,
thanx for your great themes.
I want to ask how to turn off the featured image on pages under the navigation und above the page header to the left.
I would like to not show this image there
Thanx
Hi Ruben.
As of now there is no configuration setting to do this. You need to update theme files and remove the code for featured image.
But thanks for the comment, I would definitely try to make it configurable in upcoming versions.
Will you make it configurable soon? Or is it worth working myself over the code!!! Iam asking so i not remove it and when iam done you allready have the update 😉
Where will i find this code? What file is it inside?
Thanx a lot
Excellent!!! now do you have something for putting in the header image?
You can set header image using Theme Options -> Basic Settings
Great theme! I’m using it on my website and had one question. I installed the “Floating Social Buttons” plugin and whenever I click the “Facebook Like Button” the fly out box is clipped. I think there is a setting in the theme that’s clipping it. Do you know how to fix this? Also, what social button plugin are you using for this site?
It seems the issue of z-index. Which plugin you using, can you check with support team of that plugin?
For Social buttons, theme has inbuilt widget. You can check Social Icon Box Widget that is available with theme.
