Thank you for this amazing theme. Just a few questions:
1. In the main demo, on the homepage there is a video that autoplays. the video of the lighthouse is the hero content that covers the width of the screen. How do you achieve this? and with the portfolio under it. I want my homepage to be just like it.
2. when i try to make the work/portfolio page the front page, it breaks (photo attached). I use settings - reading - and i assign it from there. (this is because I want the homepage to be my portfolio while i am building the actual homepage which i talk about in #1)
3. how do i customize what social links i want to display, there's too many, theres even foursquare. in the visual composer, i am unable to narrow down these choices.
1 and 2. If you are having difficulties then the best would be to import the main demo content and then remove the posts or pages you don't want to use, it will save you a lot of time, if you're having difficulties then please follow our documentation article.
3. Since you're talking about the social networks in Visual Composer, then please follow the instructions here.
I tried doing that at first but there's a lot of bugs when I do it using demo content. For example, there's some content that doesn't change despite changing it on the backend like the header/brand logo.
I want to LEARN how to do the video on the homepage that covers the full screen and autoplays the way the demo does it, and not just copy. So could you give me the step so I can learn it? To copy the content and go backwards from seems counter intuitive and I won't learn as much.
You also did not acknowledge the photo i sent you. Why can't I make the portfolio page my home page without the layout glitch like in the photo I sent?
Lastly, you also did not answer my question about social networks properly. Thank you for the tutorial on how to choose the social network element, but my question was How to change the list of social networks, for example, I don't want foursquare there because I don't use that.
Thank you for your patience, I will eagerly wait your thorough reply.
1. The problem is that the video (Revolution Slider) is built with a 3rd party plugin which is included in our theme, and there is not a tutorial on how to create it from the beginning since it's a slider, once you have installed the Revolution Slider you can proceed by adding it to the homepage, here you can learn more how to do it and what instructions to follow.
Regarding the attached image, as I can see from it you're trying to create a portfolio page in a wrong way. The right way to create it is described here and you can follow this tutorial to implement a portfolio on your site.
Lastly, ordering the social networks is really easy, here you can find more about it:
