- yes, you can tell an entire slide to become a link to another slide or a certain URL in the Revolution Slider.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I have a question if it is easy to set up one-page webiste exactly like this in demo. I would like to have exactly the same layout. Cheers, Michal

Hey Michal,

the Kanso package includes demo website data as well as the slider set-up in WordPress export format, so you can quickly add all data from the demo website into your own instance of WordPress.

Please note that the data does not contain any settings in the „Settings“ admin panel section or any Theme Options panel settings; you will also need to assign the menus to their respective locations: make sure that the theme location tickbox is checked in the „Menu Settings“ section right under the menu constructor.

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

OK. I am sure I will buy it. Its great theme. I have last question if it is possible to change slider to static picture (or erase arrows and boxes in the slieder) I want to have juest a simple picture on thw front page. Cheeres, Michal

Hey Michal,

you’ve got two options for that: - either set up a slider with a single slide - or upload a header image to the respective page, without the slider.

Sincerely, Andrii / Satori Studio

OK. Great. Thank you !!!

Hi. I have juest bought your great theme. i have a question if it is possible to delete toataly comment section from website.?

Hey Michal,

first of all, thank you for the purchase!

In WordPress, you can disable comments by un-ticking the “Allow people to post comments on new articles” option in the “Settings -> Discussion” admin section; note that you might need to disable comments for existing posts and pages individually, using the “Discussion” settings box under the main content editor area while in the edit mode for particular item(s).

Hi, It is a great theme. Thanks! I have a question how I can set up twitter schortcode properly.? Now I got “no public messages” reply..

Hey Michal,

glad to hear you like the theme!

Regarding the Twitter widget set-up: please check if you have inputted the correct identification elements (Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token, Access Token Secret), as well as make sure that you have at least one public tweet; you can also check your Twitter account settings, namely the “Tweet privacy” checkbox in the “Security and privacy” section, to make sure that your tweets are publicly accessible. If none of the above helps resolve the issue, I will need to ask you for access to the WordPress back-end in order to troubleshoot further; you can send the details to [email protected] (no disclosure guaranteed).

Hi. Is it possible to enlarge social icons and change the weight of font in your theme?

Best, Michal

Hey Michal,

this hasn’t been envisaged as a back-end option, yet you can achieve this relatively easily by using some custom CSS:

#social-top a { font-size: 16px !important; } body { font-weight: 700 !important; }

You can add this into the “Style: Add Custom CSS” tab of the Theme Options panel, changing the “16” and “700” to the values you need.

Andrii / Satori Studio

HI. How can I change the sizee of a text? When I change paragraph to heading, the text disappears. Does Knaso work with Visual Composer?

Hey Michal,

could you please provide a live URL where the text disappears when changed from paragraph into a heading? I’d need to see the code in order to give a meaningful advice here. One thought – please check if the heading font color has been set as the same with the page content background color via the Theme Options panel.

The Visual Composer should work with Kanso, although for the sake of clarity I must state that it hasn’t been tested explicitly with that plugin. In case you run into any problems while using them together, do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Hi Andrii, Thank you for your all suport!!! I have installed the Visual Composer, and I have a problem only with PORTFOLIO section. It doesnt look like a grid of boxes. Do you think it is possible to improve this ?

Sicerely, Michal

Hey Michal,

could you please give the link to the particular page you’ve mentioned? Thanks!

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Hi Andri, Is it possible to delete all underlines on webiste? (headlines, etc), and hide the box around the menu in mobile view?

Hey Michal,

these changes haven’t been envisaged in the theme’s options, since they comprise the visual identity of the theme and are therefore not covered by ThemeForest support; however, you can try implementing the changes by adding certain custom CSS to the “Style: Add Custom CSS” tab of the Theme Options panel:

.page-title h2 a, .page-heading h1 a, .single .post-header h1 a, #blog-header h1 a, .post-header h1 a { border-bottom: none !important; } @media only screen and (max-width: 767px) { #nav-wrap { border: none !important; } }

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Hey Trife,

could you please provide (if available) the URL of the page in question? Seeing the actual code would help me identify the problem more precisely. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Hey Molly,

first of all, thank you for the purchase!

The front page issue most probably stems from your settings in the “Settings -> Reading” admin area: please make sure that the “Front page displays” option is set to “A static page”, and that the page which corresponds to the “Home” link is chosen in the “Front Page” drop-down underneath.

Regarding the question about the map: in case you mean the Google Maps header on the “Contacts” page of the theme demo, this is an image rather than a special widget; you can set an image header for each specific page in the “Page Settings” box while in the editor mode for that page.

Should you have other questions about Kanso, do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

I’ve just thought of another thing regarding the first question: please also make sure that the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” in the “Settings -> General” admin area are both set to “http://mollymartirez.com/”.

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Thank you so much for your response! Your suggestions worked perfectly!

Glad to hear! If anything else pops up, let me know.

Andrii / Satori Studio

Hey Andrii,

It’s me again. So I’m having trouble with the Types section under Portfolio. I made a number of different Types and assigned them to their respective pages on the portfolio, but nothing comes up on the website itself. Is there a button I’m supposed to activate? And another issue I’m having is that the title does not show up when I hover on portfolio items that are set up as galleries. Is there a way I can fix that as well?

Thank you so much.

Best, Molly

Hey Molly,

I will address the issues in the same order:

1). Please check two things: firstly, that the “Hide portfolio filter” option on the “Portfolio page” tab of the Theme Options panel is not checked; and secondly, that there are at least some projects assigned to types in the “Portfolio -> Types” admin section (please see the “count” column in the table to the right).

2). This is intended behaviour, since overlays with titles might obstruct the controls in the right bottom corner of the tile, and vice versa. The overlay will also obstruct the viewing of the slides in the tile mode. However, if you still absolutely need the overlays on gallery tiles, you can download this custom archive I’ve made for you, unzip it, and upload the resulting file into the theme folder (/wp-content/themes/Kanso/).

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Thank you so much for the swift reply!

The second issue worked out just fine, thank you so much! However, the first issue hasn’t been solved.

I already unchecked the Hide Portfolio Filter option and made sure that there are projects assigned to the types in the Portfolio -> Types section. It still does not come up on my portfolio site.

Actually, I’m so sorry, but I didn’t realize that the overlay mode completely stops the user from clicking on the actual gallery. Is there any way I can still have the overlay and be able to click on the gallery and be directed to the page full of the images? If not, how do I revert back to the original? Thank you again!

Hey Molly,

concerning the portfolio filter issue: please try downloading this archive, unzipping it, and upload the resulting file into the theme folder (/wp-content/themes/Kanso/) – and let me know if the filter starts appearing after refreshing the web page.

Regarding the gallery project type question: the problem with clicking on the tile and the slider controls separately, as well as having an overlay on hover at the same time, is exactly what I meant in my previous post when saying that overlays do not behave too well on gallery tiles I’ve prepared a custom solution for you that might work it out, though: please download this archive, unzip it, and upload the resulting file into the theme folder (/wp-content/themes/Kanso/).

By the way, I strongly recommend decreasing the size of images you use in the portfolio sliders and other tiles – some of them are as large as 12Mb (!), which makes the whole page sum up to over 70Mb in size, making it very slow to load (detailed speed test results here). You can either downsample the images to trade some incremental quality for much smaller size, or downscale the images by decreasing the pixel dimensions of the image files, or preferably both; your ballpark goal should be 0.5-1Mb per image maximum. The entire web page should total to no more than 5-10Mb (although even smaller ones are even better). Very low loading speed dramatically affects your visitors’ reaction to the page, leading to lower conversion rates and higher drop-out rates; it also affects your search engine rankings.

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

The filters work and so does the overlay issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH! And as for the images in my portfolio, I’m working on it! again, thank you so much for helping me out!

One last thing (I’m so sorry for all the questions), I am having trouble uploading a logo and a favicon.. When I click on the upload button, nothing happens. Am I doing it wrong?

Hey Molly,

glad to hear it works!

The issue with the upload button you’re describing hasn’t been reported previously, and I cannot seem to be able to reproduce it, so unfortunately I cannot tell anything specific by looking at the front-end of your website; the only way I can troubleshoot this is by seeing the back-end – if you can provide WP admin username and password (you can send them to [email protected], no disclosure guaranteed), I might be able to come up with a specific recommendation or a fix.

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

So I think I was able to get it to work… Kinda. When I refresh the page, it shows as a broken image. It’s originally a jpg file but is there any way I can upload a gif file as the logo? I’ll keep trying and if I really can’t fix it, I’ll be sending over my WP admin username and password. Haha

Hey Molly,

there shouldn’t be any restrictions on uploading a GIF logo in the Them Options panel. In case you encounter problems there, please let me know, I will do my best to help out.

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

Hey Andrii,

I sent you an email at [email protected] I hope you can help me out with the issues I’m having Thank you again so much!

Hey Natroneus,

the underlining and capitalizing is the part of the theme’s style concept, thus it cannot be changed via the back-end, yet you can remove those properties by adding a line of code to the “Style: Add Custom CSS” tab of the Theme Options panel:

.serif, cite, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, #content h1 a, #content h2 a, #content h3 a, #content h4 a, #header-image h1 a, #header-image h2 a, #header-image h3 a, #header-image h4 a, h1 a:visited, h2 a:visited, h3 a:visited, h4 a:visited { text-transform: none !important; border-bottom: none !important; }

Sincerely, Andrii / Satori Studio

Perfect. One more question… The text on my “What We Do/Portfolio” page doesn’t line up with the title, and I’m thinking that could be an oversight in your coding. Any advice?

Example can be seen here: http://www.tcgad.com/2014/

Hey Natroneous008,

could you please tell me if the “Page title above content (if you have a one-page template set for the front page)” option in the “Page settings” box for that particular page has been checked? To find out, please enter the editor mode for the page that corresponds to the said section (should be entitled “What We Do”). If it’s checked, please uncheck it, Update the page, and reload the website. If it hasn’t been, please let me know!

Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio

It is not checked.

Any help? Also, I have another issue. On some browsers (Firefox) The portfolio feature boxes on the home page seem to pulse or jitter. http://www.tcgad.com/2014/

Hey Natroneus008,

my sincere apologies for the delay in my reply – I must have accidentally marked your last comment as read before addressing it.

I’ve found the cause of the misalignment of the page title: it is indeed a bug, and it has been corrected in version 6 of the theme – please update to 1.6 using the download available in the “Downloads” tab of your ThemeForest account.

Regarding your second question: I can’t seem to be able to reproduce this bug on my instance of Firefox (version 35.0) – would you be able to record a screencast (e.g. using Screenr) showing the issue? Thank you!

Sincerely, Andrii / Satori Studio

How do I upload that update without losing my settings? Do I just replace it manually under themes?

I’ve also got a screencast – how do I send it to you?

Hey Natroneus008,

the theme settings and other website data, such as posts, pages, etc, are stored in a MySQL database and are therefore not affected by changes in the files. You can re-upload all files from the new version into the theme folder in your WP installation (/wp-content/themes/Kanso/), overwriting the existing files when prompted. It is a good practice, however, to back up the entire website (including the databases) before conducting large-scale updates such as theme or core updates. Should you face any difficulties in the updating process, do not hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely, Andrii / Satori Studio

Hello @estudiutopic,

thank you for choosing Kanso! At the moment there are two slots for unlisted social networks in the header, we’ll add more in the next feature update. Meanwhile, if you tell me which social network you’d like to add, I might be able to provide you with a custom CSS snippet substituting the icon of one of the built-in options that you’re not using with that one.

1/ What I would like, would be to reflect the wpml plugin languages in the main menu. But in the onepage version of the theme, I think it can not be, right?

2/ Then it occurred to me to consider each language as a social network and apply it in the “Header Social Icons”, and introduce images for each different language. But it turns out that I have 3 languages and only 2 customizable elements in the “Header Social Icons”. For this reason I thought that the best thing would be to try to simulate another customizable social network.

Hello @natroneous008, since the portfolio image dimensions are 320×320 pixels, you should set the “Portfolio item height” option in the “Portfolio Page” tab of the Theme Options panel to 320, instead of the current 222. That should reveal the entire images.

THANK YOU!!!

Actually, that’s still not working. The featured images should be 300 wide x 222 high, but no matter what it seems to be cutting a lot of the image off. Anything I can do to fix that?

Sorry to hurry you, but any ideas?
