Hello there,

Thank you for using our theme.

For the sidebar you need to include it in Elated Options > Page https://www.screencast.com/t/Nf3j4M6xzx for Pages and for Blog Posts Elated Options > Blog https://www.screencast.com/t/OYb1rjRlTsi. Also if for certain page/blog there is no sidebar yet, go to backend of that page scroll down to Elated Sidebar and set it there https://www.screencast.com/t/MEMcVsCSI0Qm.

For the Carousel Slider it is not included in Slider Revolution but it is made using Element named Elated Post Swipe Carousel in the back-end of the page inside Visual Composer this case https://www.screencast.com/t/KpKHdPQkil5Z. 

You can remove featured image of the certain post by going into back-end of the post, scroll to Featured Image and click Remove Featured Image https://www.screencast.com/t/G2MgIZnyGq.

Hello there,

Welcome and thanks for writing in.

Single Blog post is supposed to have Featured Image. However it can be hidden but there will be a gap reserved for the image. However, it can be resized using some Custom Css, like this

body.single-post .eltdf-title.eltdf-breadcrumbs-type.eltdf-title-has-thumbnail.eltdf-has-background.eltdf-content-left-alignment.eltdf-title-image-not-responsive {
    height: 200px;
}
body.single-post .eltdf-title-holder {
    height: 100%!important;
}
body.single-post .single-post .eltdf-title.eltdf-title-has-thumbnail .eltdf-title-post-info{
    bottom: 5px;
    height: 50px;
}

 Just paste it into Elated Options > General > Custom Css 

For the logo issue: The original photo you upload for your logo should be twice bigger than the one you want to be displayed on site, because of retina rule.

So, for example, if you want your logo displayed as 200x100 px, you should upload original photo as 400x200px.

And in Elated Options -> Header, you set the header height initially and on scroll if you use sticky header type, note that logo can\'t be displayed bigger than that height you set there http://screencast.com/t/cYoTwd7bKRN so it will be restricted in height by the Header Height you have set.

Please let us know if this was helpful and if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks.

Hello again,

There is an issue with Visual Composer since it is not rendering content on the front end. So please go to Plugins and check whether Visual Composer is active, and if so, please completely delete Visual Composer and you will get message that it is required plugin and install it again.

If you still have issue with this, please provide us your wp admin access and FTP access so we can solve the issue for you.

Thanks.

Hi again,

1) For the widget spacing it might be related to WordPress 4.8 update. This is because of WordPress wpautop function which is wrapping lines with paragraph tags, and now function is being executed in text widget because it is present be default in text editor, which is inducted in WordPress version 4.8. Solution to this is to remove all spaces inside text widgets, and if that doesn't work 100% or you don't want to go trough all theme widgets and to do this manually you can simply add following line of code inside theme folder / functions.php

remove_filter('widget_text_content', 'wpautop');
If you want  permanent modification for future updates you should add that line inside child theme folder / functions.php file.

2) It can be done with some Custom Css and we can generate some to solved the issues but we need your actual page to do so. Please provide us link to it and we will gladly assists.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks.

Hello there,

Without actual link to the site it is hard to reproduce what is causing issue since we can not inspect it closer. so you can try to paste this code into Elated Options > General > Custom Css field 

.eltdf-logo-area .eltdf-position-left-inner {
    height: 100%!important;
}
.eltdf-logo-area .eltdf-position-left-inner .eltdf-logo-wrapper{
    height: 100%!important;
}
.eltdf-logo-area .eltdf-position-left-inner .eltdf-logo-wrapper a{
    height: 70%!important;
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

and if that does not solve the issue please provide us WP Admin access with credentials so we can investigate it and solve the issue.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks.

Hello,

That happens because you followed the rule for logo height just for the default logo, not light logo and since in that page you are using Light Header logo is not displayed properly. So you can either follow same rule for light logo or use Dark logo. To make Dark logo appear please go to Elated Options > Header and for Header Style choose Dark

or for certain pages please go to back-end of that page, scroll down to Elated Header section and for for the Header type choose Dark 

If you still have issue with this even after all modification, please use this Custom Css code

.eltdf-logo-wrapper a img.eltdf-normal-logo{
    opacity: 1!important;
}
.eltdf-logo-wrapper a img.eltdf-light-logo{
    opacity: 0!important;
}

which will generally just show Dark Logo always in all your pages so it looks like this 

Please let us know if this solved the issue and if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks.

Hello again,

1) Can you please point us with some screenshots to which exact sidebar you want to make customization since on the one that we were customizing all changes were applied. You are probably watching different one from the one that we have customized. So it would be the best if you provide us which exactly sidebar you want to be customized.

2) For the category overlay you can remove it using this Custom Css code

body.category .eltdf-pt-one-item .eltdf-pt-one-image-holder .eltdf-post-info-category{
    display: none;
}

For the pagination unfortunately, it can not be changed it is predefined pagination.

Please let us know if this was helpful and if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks.
