I’ve installed the first demo twice and all plug-ins are installed but I don’t see anything other than plugins activated. I don’t see any text or anything from the demo???
Hello, you should check this manual page please:
http://themes2go.xyz/manuals/vlogger/knowledge-base/1-8-demo-contents/I already read that and went through it several times, this still is NOT installing anything but the plugins. All other text content and modules don’t seem to be loading. please help
Please do as follow: go in the theme dashboard and take a full screenshot of the page “Install Demo”, like this one:
You can post it here using Droplr or imgur.com, we will try to see what you see, thanks!
sorry my friend but this help platform is inherently flawed and dated. there is no ability to send screenshots, no ability to have support log in and see problems and its taking you more time than if you just used zendesk or something else. You’ll have to go back and forth twice as much.
Anyway I’ve just tried a new install on a clean site and the demo worked, but now to start with there are a couple new problems.
1) I’ve uploaded an image under “appearance” “customize” “header” under “default header background image” but it doesn’t show at http://awakenthewarriorwithin.net
2) also I’ve swapped out existing testimonials for mine but on the home page when you click the right or left arrow it doesn’t show the other testimonials???
3) Lastly, your directions say “Update Visual Composer” it doesn’t say if this is required to use it or ??? what is the deal here? I’ve activated the plugin but I don’t see any composer anywhere.
please help
Hello chadnellis, thanks you for the considerations about our helpdesk. The limitations about the screenshot uploading are because we don’t know what people would upload in our servers and therefore we suggest other common ways to send us screenshots, like droplr or imgur.com.
People may have infected computers and upload dangerous files, therefore as you don’t want your same computer infected by visiting our site, we don’t allow file upload by anyone. As there is plenty of alternative solutions, I think this security restriction is not causing any damage.Thanks for the suggestions but as 99% of the support requests are about people not reading the manual, this helpdesk is more than good for the purpose, and we don’t need more complex solutions as zendesk, but thanks again for your feed.
As you saw yourself, the demo installation was working fine.
1) In the linked page, the default header background doesn’t appear because is a Visual Composer page. You should digg a bit the theme pages so to see their functionality and structure. Default header is used in every page that is not visual composer and doesn’t have another specified image.
2) It looks like in the testimonial shortcode, somehow, you are only displaying 1 testimonial. It could be because of number limitation, category filtering, or id filtering. We are 100% sure that the testimonial carousel works fine so it must be a setting issue. If you can’t find the problem, please send us a screenshot of the settings of the element from Visual Composer (using droplr or imgur.com).
3) You have the Page Composer active otherwise your homepage would have been empty and displaying a tons of shortcodes on top of a white screen. So don’t worry about this, is all working fine.
Looking forward for your feedback wish you a nice day.
I’m sorry if we are replying late but evidently it looks like you are in USA and we have a totally opposite time zone, therefore we get your messages after our offices are closed. we will do our best to answer as fast as possible.
Thanksthanks for the info I figured out the testimonial but the main image on the home page still does not show. here is a screen shot I followed your manual exactly but it still does NOT work https://imgur.com/a/NmZk0
Hi,
as I wrote in the 1) point, the default header background doesn’t appear because is a Visual Composer page. Your page is a Visual Composer page and you can easily check it by editing the page: in the right column, there is a tab where you can choose the template for that specific page. Surely your page has the Visual Composer template.By the way, in order to fix it you have to edit the row containing the Hero Box and then adding a picture as background.

All the best,
Andreathat worked thanks, you may want to update your manual as this is not in it and it’s very confusing
Glad it works! 🙂
Thanks for your feedback, we will update the manual soon.
Have a good day,Andrea
now that I got that mock site going I went back to my site I was originally trying to install the theme on and deleted all files and reinstalled WordPress with a fresh install. now I can’t even upload the plugin: here is the failure message:
https://imgur.com/a/7nq84sorry my fault I was uploading in the plugins instead of themes.
hey there got another question, take a look at my homepage and you’ll see I put a background color behind the bullet points, but it completely blocks the image behind it. does this theme have some kind of overlay feature where I can put a color behind the text on my home page but change the opacity so you can still see the image?
Hello chadnellis,
as I can see from your website there is no background color set in your header.
There are a background image and a hero box.
The easiest way to bring contrast to your header is to edit your photo and add a black layer with opacity set to 50-80% over the image.You can also achieve the same result via Visual Composer but it requires more time.
Let me know which way you wanna choose.Have a good day,
Andrea
