Thanks very much. The Woocommemerce display setting worked very well, and the images are all the correct proportions now, looks much better indeed.
There is still a problem with parallax images behind the testimonials not always displaying. There seems to be an issue after plugin updates I think. Have you had anyone else mention this problem? I feel that Visual Composer seems to be broken. Bearing in mind that this was a fresh install. The Parallax image loads sometimes after a refresh.
With regards to the custom css to change the text on the testimonials. This will help me change the font settings myself in future. Please can you also kindly help me to remove the box surrounding the text? and also allow me to vary the width the text is within? The box is not necessary and clashes with the image background to be honest. I hope in future that your developers can ensure that the testimonials can be tweaked more easily, as its far too rigid. See the example theme I mentioned in the private section above for an example of how its implemented well with Visual Composer.

Hi
I created a copy of your demo site on the URL I provided. For some reason, the site needs to be refreshed sometimes for both the testemonials and the blog section on the home page to show up. I have no idea why this happens, but only happens on this demo install I did for you.
So please refresh the home page a couple of times and the testemonials will show.
(note, I am using Cloudflare, so this may have an effect, or maybe is the updates to your own plugins)

In addition to the testimonials’ styling, please also refer to my previous post regarding image size on the home page not looking like the demo (see below)
As mentioned in previous post above, images on the Home Page that are supposed to be resolution 555×760 are being resized to 300×300. This includes product categories, and farther up the page, where is says Featured Products, Popular Products, New Arrivals and Last Minute. All of these have been resized to 300×300 thumbnails and are not displayed as their original sizes. VERY ANNOYING, LOL.

Hello
Sorry for the delay. The site whilst in development is offline. What I have done is to create an online, htacess password protected version of the default demo install (variant 1) with slight alterations to the demo including pro-footer and footer area’s added. Also in the parallax section of the Home Page, I have added the Testimonials widget. Testimonials are working, but the styling is awful. (see private content of this reply for WP admin login details as requested).
I would like to be able to change the following:-
font
font colour
size
font has white background, this is not changeable, I need it to be transparent
no options for navigation. Just appears as radio buttons, not suitable, maybe needs navigation arrows
I have used the Visual Composer plugin with other themes, and on those these, its very easy to change the above I have mentioned. I won’t mention the competitor themes here, but I’ll mention in the private section of this post for you to see what I mean.
Please, contact administrator for this information.

I noticed on the Classico Variant 1 demo site, that you still have the section “LATEST FROM THE BLOG” working OK. This is not working after the Visual Composer update for us though.
Is it advisable to roll-back to an earlier version of Visual Composer until you have a fix? I ask this because ThemeForest’s email suggests we update for security reasons.

Hello
Same problem as OP.
I’m using Classico v1.3. After a warning email from Themeforest asking us to update Visual Composer, I have just updated to Version 4.7.4 (downloaded from this site). Now the blog posts showing up on the front page are no longer displayed.
Please fix?

The testimonials widget started working again for me after an upgrade to Classico v1.3.
However, when I’m using it with a background image behind the testimonials text, the text shows up with a white background over the image. I don’t want that. The styling is not suitable for my needs.
I also want to be able to change the font, colour and size. How can I alter the testimonial widget text?
I need some advice how to alter the appearance please? Where to start?

Hello Eva
Sorry, but I can;t seem to find Punch Fonts section. I can only see “General, Styling, Typography, Ecommerce, Blog & Portfolio, Import/Export”. I Can’t see Punch Fonts section. I would have expected to see something in the Typography section, but can’t.
please can you be a little more specific?
regards

In my honest optinion, in this case, I think 8Theme has added a level of complexity that was not necessary, making it more difficult to alter the theme for ourselves. Please consider this in future.

*** UPDATE ***
I have now worked out how to change the default title background and also set different title background images for different pages now.
Please close this ticket.
for anyone who needs to know how to change the default title background image, it can be done via 8Theme Options -> General -> Header Settings
To change individual page title background images, this can be done by editing the page and setting the Featured Image. Hope this helps someone.

** UPDATE **
I have managed to work out how to create the 3 banner images on the Home Page, by adding a row which is divided into three columns and adding the [8Theme] Banner With Mask.
To get the same text, I used The following code in the text box:
The only things now remaining to be solved on the Home Page that I still need help with are these:

Hi
Thanks a lot for your answers. I have done answers 2, 3, 4, 5.
I would like to create the banners myself. Do you have instructions please? I can create images myself, but what set of steps do I need to take using the Visual Composer Editor? Can you please provide a few steps, instead of doing this for me?
Also, I have created product catagories, and uploaded images for the backgrounds. On the demo, the background images are displayed with resolution 555x760px. However, on my site after import all demo for variant 1, the catagory backgrounds are displayed as 300×300, squares. Where do I alter this so the background images are displayed the same size as the original demo? (My images sizes were all cropped to 555×760)
