    Can you provide a step by step tutorial of how i can link a post to those drop down menus (the horizontal links at the top: home download social etc etc)

    1. OddThemes avatar
      OddThemes

      You can link your labels as categories in the menu, by fetching the label url and just replacing the # with the url.

  2. Help my drop down menu in mobile version is not working. Your fast reply would be helpful 🙂
    my blog is linked at my disqus profile 🙂

    1. OddThemes avatar
      OddThemes

      Add the menu code again from the documentation. Please do it again.

  3. The odd box is not appearing too. Please help

      Hello dear, you have changed the code of the template or added your own code, I would suggest you to please use the original code of the template and it will work fine. Still you have any problems contact us at oddthemes@gmail.com.

      Thanks

      1. How do I do that just reinstall again?

        1. OddThemes avatar
          OddThemes

          Open the .xml file and copy its contents, now goto blogger Edit Template and replace the template with the new copied and then Save the template.

          1. Thanks! Best template ever!

            You have wrongly copied the Menu code, the UL CLASS is TOPMENU1 not MENU1.

            Use this:

            Use this instead of in the layout section main menu.

          4. I’m so happy it works now! Thanks so much! ❤️

    Hello, I’m using a free version of this template and odd box is also not appearing. I haven’t changed anything in the code, I entered the same label that is used in posts and nothing appears. Could you help me fix this?

    Dear Oddtheme Team, I installed the template (and I love it!), but I can´t edit the main menu bar. I´ve copied the HTML-Code in this discription (as discripted at point 5) in the content area and tried to replace # with the label url. It´s not working. It says “page doesn´t exit”. And the URL is shown as this: https://happyandcity.blogspot.de/happyandcity.blogspot.de/search/label/happiness
    How can I fix this?

    Thank you for your answer!
    Greetings from Germany,

      Edit your menu widget and delete the (” “) double quotes and again put the double quotes. It will work fine.

  6. Please help. I purchased this template and receive a zip file to download – the template file is empty? Also, I purchased the licensed version and the documentation says I am unable to edit the footer – I thought by buying the license I would be able to edit? Please advise.

    1. OddThemes avatar

      Upon purchasing, you can edit the footer.

  13. My featured boxes at the top are not showing the same box effect as the author image and the post image – how do I fix this? http://nolovelike.blogspot.co.uk/

    1. OddThemes avatar
      OddThemes

      Your featured box has white image, so the borders effect is not visible. Just add more posts.

      1. The box is already there inside the image – I can see it, it just doesn’t appear when you hover over it, it is just constantly there

        1. OddThemes avatar
          OddThemes

          Yes the demo also has this thing on featured boxes. They don’t have the effect on hover but all other things have. Please check again. Thanks

          1. Oh, I thought it had the effect. Okay, thank you for your fast reply

          2. Also, is there a way to get social media buttons in the follow us box in the side bar?

          3. OddThemes avatar
            OddThemes

            Here is the code:

            <span class="follow-us-sidebar">
            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>
            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a>
            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a>
            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-heart"></i></a>
            <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></a>
            </span>

          4. Do I just put this in the edit box of the layout section?

      Thankyou. Add a page in blogger, open the page in browser to get the url of the page. After copying the url, paste it here like this:
      <ul class="topmenu1" id="masthead">
      <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://yourwebsite.com/p/ aboutme.html">About Me</a>

      Make sure your UL has the class TOPMENU1 and ID = MASTHEAD. Recheck your code.

      <ul class="topmenu1" id="masthead">
      <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="http://yourwebsite.com">About Me</a>

        Fifty Shades of Ana (MyGirl)

        in the homepage, the image is not in the correct pixel. The image is blurred because of the expansion to stay on the homepage. ex: wrong> http://prnt.sc/cn1ycq Right > http://prntscr.com/cn1zgo

        the pixel stay wrong because of the homepage display standard

        It was basically not to be out of focus, but with a larger viewing because of the image of 3000px I use in every post.

        If you do not understand no problem XD can survive it. The template is very good, congratulations!

        sorry about my english :/

        1. OddThemes avatar
          OddThemes

          The design has 2 columns and the width are equal so the image will stretch a little to fill the width of the columns. So I suggest you to please use at least 350px width image in post. Thanks

    1. in the home it display only 5 posts (2+2+1) even if the settings are 6 or 8. Second page is fine, third or fourth again same issue, I don’t know what may cause that, maybe an alignment issue?
    2. when a category is selected from the category box, it disappear from the list and shifted on the right side of the box, I saw that the same happens in the Couture live demo.
    3. and most important: since when I updated with this new theme the links in the posts are not changing color, this is a problem cause people miss the links.. please help me figure this out! thank you!

  30. Sorry in my prev message I forget: also I have problem with Navbar gadget (can not be placed before header so basically I had to deactivated because it was placed over menu bar) and also I can’t see quick edit option at the end of the posts even if in the settings it is checked. So.. a bunch of issues!

      You can purchase our template and our team will fix your problem in no time.

  36. I have your template installed on my blog and it looks great! I just can’t get the top slider to work (html025) I might have deleted a word in the layout box that was there before. What was the word?
