    Hi

    I am testing the Organic variant of XStore offline to see how it looks. I imported the theme. On the first slideshow, I have a problem. The text on Slide 1 appears for a brief moment, then disappears after a fraction of a second. All other slides seem OK and display the same as your demo online.

    The other question… I’d like to know how to change the text in each slide. I am referring to the large text with the moving image/video in the background. Do you have a PSD file with the existing slideshow images, and also instructions how to change them, please?

    Regards

    Hi,

    We’re using Slider revolution, you can easily tweak its settings in the Dashboard. See which slider shows in the home page ( by click edit the home page and see which shortcode is there ) and edit it according to that.

    Docs can be found here: http://xstore.helpscoutdocs.com/article/28-new-slider You can find the slider import files here: https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ “XStore XML files v 3.15”

    Let us know,

    Thanks,
    laranz.

    I already know how to tweak slideshow setting for Slider Revolution. When I am editing slide 1, the slide preview plays as it should, but on the Homepage the slide changes to blank after a fraction of a second. I do not know what is causing this. Can you please email me the exact slideshow used in your demo, since the one that shipped with the theme has an issue.

    In addition, can you also respond to my other question regarding how to change the text? Please read my first post re PSD files. You cannot just type the text into Slider Revolution. You will need to look at your demo to see what I mean. The text appears to be a cut-out mask with an image behind it. I would like to know how to create that text. Do you have instructions, please? I feel that you may not have read my questions at all.

    Hello,

    1) Choose bg layer and disable the loop animation or change it http://prntscr.com/fv8ntb
    2) You can find slider PSD in Food folder of XStore_PSD_2.zip on https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ page.

    Hi Olga

    Thank you for the help. I edited slide 1 and disabled the wave loop animation and that has worked. Slide 1 now displays as your demo now. Thanks. This suggests that the slideshow you are shipping with the theme for the Organic variant has a glitch which should be corrected for future releases.

    With regards to the PSD… I opened the Food “01 Home.psd” file. The layer within the file I am referring to is the “02 Banner” layer. However, I am unable to change the text “ORGANIC”. Within the slideshow itself, it’s an image mask. I would like to know how to create this. Do you have instructions?

    I noticed that in the slideshow the image masks used for Slide 1 is the file mask1-2.png. This file is 1170x600px. I want to create this from scratch with the same font but different words for each slide in the slideshow. Opening the file “01 Home.psd” did not allow me to alter the large text “ORGANIC”. There must be a number of steps I can follow to do this myself, please? Also, let me know which font was used please since you can’t tell from the .psd file since it’s not editable. I think the font may be “Lato”?

    Regards

    ** UPDATE ** I think now I should be able to work out how to do the text mask image myself. I found a video you uploaded for me a year ago titled “Video mask.mp4” which shows me how to do it in relation to the “Default Red” variant of the Xstore theme. I’ll try and follow those instructions myself, it should be the same. I’m assuming the font is Lato.

    Thanks!
