Do you like it? Share it perhaps?
Awesomely different theme, thanks!
Questions:
how to set the gray text as ‘What’s New?’ on the sample above the feed?
how to set the ‘editors pick’ and ‘what’s hot’ in the sidebars as in the sample? Is this an extra widgets pack?
I can’t find both of them here.
Have a great time!,
A
1) Theme Options > Blog > Subheading
2) For What’s Hot, use AlxPosts widget with most commented posts. For editor’s pick, create a featured category and set it to show in the AlxPosts widget.
Many thanks, great!
Actually I planned to buy Magaziner theme today, but discovered Kontrast, and will use this for the startup period with not so many posts, then move to Magaziner because I love it’s premium look.
Still by far the best themes on the market, cheers!
ps, ALX Tabs and Single-Scrollable Share Bar both have a minor issue, the tabs of the ALX tabs are invisible, and the social icons of the share bar disappeared only the number of shared are shown, see my site. What can this be? Already tried reinstalling etc.
Your plugin “usernoise” loads Font Awesome, so it loads twice. Disable it and the conflict should go away.
Wow awesome, thanks a lot!
Al
I just wonder how-come featured category name is not displayed in your demo example next to the editor’s pick?..
Question, where can I find some explanation about Theme Options > Social Links eg. Title, Icon name fa- and icon URL etc. are this links to my social accounts, and how to connect them? Honestly I understand nothing of this. Are this the icons that appear in the right side of the header?
Thanks, Have a sweet weekend!
Al
It’s the links that appear in the right side of the header and footer, correct.
Aha I see, unfortunately this section of the theme options is totally unclear and still no idea how to set this up.
Best regards,
Hello Alexander! It’s an amazing theme, thanks!
I’m currently editing a site that will open soon with this theme and I’m just having a little trouble:
I use and like a lot of the Plugin “Magee Shortcodes” it had a great result in others sites and themes.
In “Kontrast” (and Typecore too) there are no problems on posts or anything, but the pages are something like compressed even at its maximum width. When I disable the plugin, the page returns to normal width (max).
I know that there is some incompatibility problem but don’t know where to move. I really liked your themes, so I didn’t want to change.
Thank you!
I am facing an issue while using kontrast theme.
When i activate kontrast theme , i got 5, 6 warnings above the header.
I like kontrast theme and don’t want ti switch to any other theme. Is there any way to sort it out .
You can check the problem live at bestpowerbankreview.com
Go to Theme options and click save once and it should go away.
Thanks, now theme is working fine.
Hi Alex, your themes are superb. Quick question, do you know how can I remove Featured slider and add bar\menu below header with ?
thanks
nwm, found it
I need your help 🙁
I can’t create social links.
Notice: Array to string conversion in /home/…/…/…/wp-content/themes/kontrast-master/functions.php on line 304
Me too, same problem
Make sure that you download the very latest version by re-downloading it. This fix from 10 days ago should’ve fixed it.
Beautiful! How can i use the social links bottom?
Theme Options > Social Links > Add New
Warning: Illegal string offset ‘background-color’ in /home/totorofire/public_html/wp-content/themes/kontrast-master/functions/dynamic-styles.php on line 230
Do you know why this pops up at the top? I switched over to your other template temporarily
Press save once in theme options and it will go away.
How can I make featured slider size as you have in your theme ? When I enable featured slides, it is extremely high. At least 3x higher than yours in the example.
Try to run the regenerate thumbnails plugin.
Excelent theme. Though your all themes are awesome!
Thanks for making them free, Alex.
Why this theme is not on WordPress.org ? I will have to update it manually when new update arrives. 🙁
WordPress.org does not allow the OptionTree admin panel, so I can’t put it there.
Hey great theme!
Which font are you using for the Kontrast logo? Is it available on the web?
Thanks
Chris
Thanks! The font is Gotham Bold.
Hi, Alex.
First, your themes are just awesome! Actually I have found Hueman and thought I will use it, but now I also consider Kontrast, as well as the Premium ones.
One question though — is there a possibility to change the date format in the post list displayed by AlxPosts or AlxTabs? As far as I scrolled the code, it is hardcoded… I just would like to use some other format there without doing any modifications…
Thanks.
Hi Alex,
same problem here: I would like to change the overall date format to a “German” one (d. M Y instead of d M,Y). The theme overrides the WordPress settings. Is there a fix or workaround for that?
Thanks.
BTW: Your theme is awesome!
Hi! Your theme is great, and i’m trying to configure it enough to meet my needs. I just can see how i can show post from a custom post type in the main page. Can you help me?
Thats something Id like to know to!
tnks Alex for the gret theme
Hi, Alex. Beautiful theme!
I got a question: is it possible to show featured image in post content? How to do it? I set featured image for post and it didn’t show up in post page…
Thanks in advance.
Best regards!
Thanks! On the right side when editing the post, select “Format: Image” and the featured image will show up on the single post.
Thanks for your reply! Is it possible to show featured image for post with “Format:Standard”? Maybe changes in code (in content.php)? With change for “Format: Image” I have to edit all my posts to do it.
I hope this is possible, because this theme is so wanderfull, that I can’t imagine using other…
Thanks in advance.
Best regards!
Hey Alex,
How do I fix structured data for the Kontrast Theme. Which area of code do I need to edit so it doesn’t come up as error in Google?
Thanks!
Hello! I just love your layouts. As i am in the second layout in my blog, and both were from you. Do you have any donation way, as I use freethemes, i’d like to give you some. =) -> My blog is: http://www.demonstre.com
Hi Alex,
Quick question, On my old post (created in previous theme) when I click on picture it does pop up and enlarge in new tab. On post created or updated in your theme, when I click on the picture, nothing is happening. Any idea how to fix it or it is by design? See link below as an example.(updated post -some of the pictures enlarge, one which was recently added does not.
