ReplyDeleteI inserted a youtube video on my post and the slider used it as the thumbnail. It turns very pixelated and bad quality. How can we use the first photo as thumbnail for the slider even with video embedded on the post?
ReplyDeletePhotonic is Image/photo oriented blogger template, so the main focus is on images rather than video, but thanks for the suggestion, we will update the template very soon.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just realized if I set to show 6 posts on my site, it will just show 4 posts, it will only perfect in 3 posts, may I know why? Is it any error on my blogger setting? https://goo.gl/photos/85BSwo8yxtU7NAoU6
And if I click on See More, the posts will not show properly too: https://goo.gl/photos/AWMbT7HjmLxhRUJw6
May I know what happened to my site and what can I do? Thank you very much. :)
Remember one thing you have to keep the post count same in your blog settings and pagination widget.
DeleteThere is a limit of 1mb from blogger side, only 1mb of images or text you can show in home page and you are exceeding that limit and that is the reason rest of the post is going on next page, there is not any solution, but you can try page break after 1st paragraph in every posy, may be this will help
I use this template on my blog: melanang.blogspot.com, why do I have two comments box? I just want to use disqus, how to remove facebook's comment box? Please me to solve this. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYour blog link is invalid.
DeleteCan you help me? My slider works on blog only if it is ''recent posts'' and doesnt work if i only want to show posts with label(tags)? My label is ''gfx'' and in code it is like it is set data-label="gfx" ? I did every step from your links but only recent posts work...
ReplyDeletePlease use the shortcode for recent post's, we will fix the template for label shortcodes, very soon.

That is a slider widget and it picks images directly from post , so always use first image in high resolution and upload it with original size settings.

DeleteHello, I have bought the premiun version of your template and more or less I have been changing it ... I have some questions to ask you ..
ReplyDelete1- The photo of author the charge by drobox and I paste the link and it gives me broken, nevertheless I could change the text that it has ... that another way they do it to change that photo?
2 - The same happens with the photo when I open a window that appears the circular photo, I try to change it by uploading an image, I paste the link and the link is broken.
From already thank you very much for your attention
Upload the images on blogger and then change the links with those.
DeleteHi, I recently bought the template and I sent them mail with my doubts and also asking around here and I do not see any answers, nor my publication, only by wasap they have responded, where do they support those who bought it?
ReplyDeleteWhat help you want?
DeleteHello, I am trying to add in the comments box that comes with the premium version template that I bought them, that I have the option to comment facebook, I have sent several msj and they answer me, it is supposed to have support when acquiring it ... and please could you answer, thanks
ReplyDeleteBy default it only comes with blogger comments, if you want us to help you in customization or adding stuff then you have to pay extra.
Delete
DeleteI already solve it in another way ...
and how can I fix the Instagram widget (Instafeed) that the images look bigger than the others on the blog? or do I have to pay too?
There is no solution it will be better to upload same size image with same orientation.
DeleteHi, I have already send you many e-mails asking for help but you didn't answered me yet so I am asking here.
ReplyDeleteI have some trouble with the widget "Follow us" on the right side next to open article. I have no idea how to add there links to my websites. Also the featured slider still is not working even I have tried everything. Please!
You have to replace # with your social media links.

text-align: center;
below
padding: 0 10px 10px;
So many people here have asked about the slider. It is not working for many of us and you have not provided proper instructions for the same.
ReplyDeleteNot even when I (premium version customer) contacted you on whatsapp and asked for help. Whoever handles the whatsapp simply said "Does it work in our Demo? If yes, then there is nothing wrong on our side"
How unethical.
(try not to delete this comment, post it)
If you add atleast one label to every posts
DeleteIf your blog is public,
If your feed is full,
If you have activated every widget
If you have used correct shortcodes.
Then it will definitely work.
I believe everyone is referring to recent changes that make the instagram slider not work. Mine doesn't work either after having bought the template because the service you use for the slider has stopped working with instagram. please help!!!
DeleteNothing can be done with the instagram widget as it works on token and the token generating tool has stopped working.
Deletetell me how fix slider i did all nothing working
