    Hi,

    Please provide your website url.
    I need to physically take a look.

    From what I see in the picture, it could be part of your image.
    Please see screenshot of our demo image. http://prntscr.com/7co71p
    You can see that it stretches to the bottom of the “learn more” button.
    You images does not seem to be stretching full height.

    I could be wrong, therefore I need your url to see it and troubleshoot using firefox error console.

    Thanks!
    Denzel

    Hi,

    Please kindly remove the Custom CSS that I provided.

    My apologies. Very sorry, I am a new employee and is not very familiar with all the features of the theme.
    My employer has actually pointed out to me that there is a Theme Option to set this.

    In Theme Options -> Styling -> Color scheme of the slideshow and widgets area
    You can use the color picker to set the color for the slide show area.

    Thanks!
    Denzel

    Hi,

    In CSS, there is only background color and background image. Having a slider as a background needs custom code.
    And you also need to set the z-index of everything else on the webpage to stack above it, so that it works as a background.

    Your customization is not an easy task, therefore please kindly engage a developer if you need further assistance.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Please see the screenshot. http://prntscr.com/7cj1q4
    Is this what you need? I set the width wider for demo purpose.

    The code is as follows. Please change the max-width to your desire.

    .header-social .alora-row {
    max-width: 1500px !important;
    }

    If this is not what you need, Please kindly get back to me with a screenshot, highlighting the area that you need to widen.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    The whole set of header code, including menu… all the way until content boxes are found in header.php

    You may want to try putting your codes in <div id="righttopcolumn">

    You are advise to use a child theme to add in your customization.

    Your customization is not an easy task, therefore please kindly engage a developer if you need further assistance.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Please kindly see the following screenshot. http://prntscr.com/7civ1s
    I have set a red header background color, just to show that it works properly.

    I think it’s probably a Theme Options setting issue. Please kindly remove your added custom CSS fixes and try out the following settings.

    In Theme Options-> Header -> Header Image Height
    Set the height in px to your desire value, this actually sets the header height.

    In Theme Options -> Header -> Header color
    Set the color that you want.

    In Theme Options-> Styling -> Header and Footer pattern
    Please select no image, because some patterns does not have a transparent background, it does not allow you to see the background color.

    If you are still experiencing issues after attempting the above instructions, please kindly provide the following information so that I can physically troubleshoot it for you.

    Please kindly provide the following details via private reply.

    WordPress Login Url:
    Username:
    Password:

    Ftp Server Url:
    Port:
    Username:
    Password:

    Hi,

    You only turn on compatibility view when a site is not displaying properly in IE. Please kindly read this article for more details. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-SG/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11

    We develop our theme under default browser settings.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Please kindly check the following values in your PHP info.
    You can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-php-info/

    max_execution_time
    memory_limit
    post_max_size
    upload_max_filesize

    Most likely your post_max_size and upload_max_file_size is lower than Evolve+ and Alora Theme files size.
    Both themes are 12.8 Megabytes and 11 Megabytes. Your hosting server will reject the theme zip file if it exceeds the limits. WordPress shows you this not helpful “all purpose” error message when it catches something wrong.

    You may need to increase the max_execution_time because it takes more time to unzip a large file, this depends on web server processing power, so I cannot give you a specify value.

    You may want to contact your web hosting company for assistance in increasing these limits.

    Alternatively you can unzip the theme file on your computer and upload to your web server’s WordPress installation via ftp.

    This is quite common situation with using any premium themes on a shared web hosting, which has limited shared resources.
    You will have no problem uploading Evolve (Free Theme) because it’s only 4.3 Megabytes.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    PHP memory limit is a server issue. Nothing to do with any theme. Even if you set PHP limit to a very high value in your php.ini file or .htaccess file, it is of no use if the actual memory allocated by your hosting server is too low.

    If you want to try to increase your PHP memory limit, you can use this article as a reference http://www.thecave.info/php-increase-memory-limit-using-htaccess-apache-php/

    The following article from your web hosting company, also suggest that you subscribe a VPS hosting if increasing your memory limit does not help.
    http://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/php-memory-limit-error

    You hosting company’s article also suggest that you deactivate all your plugins to see if there is any plugin conflict.

    The .htaccess file in your WordPress installation (can be found in same location as wp-config.php) is automatically created by WordPress and by default contains only WordPress rewrite rule. Creating another empty .htaccess file does not help at all. A .htaccess file is for configuring Apache web server, nothing to do with theme. Here’s a good related article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.htaccess

    Very sorry, I am afraid that’s all we can help regarding this issue which is unrelated to our product.

    If your hosting company is unable to physically help in resolving your issue and can only sent you to read documentation which is meant for a programmer, I truly suggest you hire a competent programmer to assist you in troubleshooting this server issue.

    Thanks!
