How to get rid of "Category" word?
This can be easily done via Theme Options -> Translation section. For "Category" string just as for any other string, you can put "-1" inside translation field and it will remove the text entirely.
How to display author/user avatar
WordPress fetches this avatar automatically from your Gravatar.com profile which is WordPress default service for avatars. This avatar will be shown on your author widget as well as on some other places for example inside comments section.
Solution 1: Go and register to Gravatar.com with the same email you are using for specific user on your website and that's it.
Solution 2: You can use some plugin which will allow you to upload your custom image instead of registering to gravatar.com. For example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-avatar/
What is the best size for my images?
Voice theme will automatically generate all image sizes to fit each layout you choose to display. The only thing you should keep in mind is that images shoudn't be too small to show them on particular areas. That way we can properly generate an image size for each of the layouts. Don't worry about larger images as theme will resize theme properly, just avoid to upload small ones.
My navigation won't save its settings
That's most probably because you haven't installed the theme properly. Common mistake is that you copy/install entire package you have downloaded from ThemeForest, please make sure that you use proper file/folder.
Extract the package downloaded from ThemeForest and find the file called voice.zip which is our WordPress theme main file.
Why my posts shared on Facebook and other social networks do not display proper images?
Facebook and other social networks sometimes randomly decide which image to choose from current page if it is not strictly stated within the code. This is something we shouldn't control control via themes but there are
some good plugins which may help you to specify what images exactly will be displayed when posts are shared.
How to do theme update without loosing any data?
1. Automatic
- Navigate to Theme Options -> Updater and specify your ThemeForest username and API key
- Once the new update is available, you will be notified via Dashboard -> Updates screen alongside other installed themes and plugins. And you just update Voice with a single click.
2. Manual
- Download the latest package from ThemeForest and extract it
- Find "voice" folder inside the package
- Use FTP to overwrite current theme folder on your server with new one
3. Re-Install
If something goes wrong during an update, don't panic. You can always do the following without losing any data and settings:
- Deactivate and delete currently installed Voice theme
- Install the latest version again
I got error "Failed to import Media" while trying to import demo content
This issue most probably happens because you do not have proper permissions in your "uploads" folder so your server doesn't allow to download and set images from our demo content automatically. You can ask your hosting provider to set this for you or learn more about
setting file permissions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
However, this is not a big deal since those images are just one same "placeholder" image and you would probably delete it afterwards anyway. If your automatic import fails, you can download image manually here and set it as featured image for each post/page: Download demo image placeholder.
Quick tip: You can use this plugin to add it as featured image to all of your posts at once: https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-featured-images/
Why do I get 404 error for some of my posts/pages?
That's because WordPress website usually needs re-save of your permalink structure when you transfer the website. In admin panel, go to Settings -> Permalinks and just save settings again.
How to fix "missing hcard author" issue reported by Google testing tool?
Please note that Google will by default expect that you have an author link for each of your posts on each page. If you want to get rid of this message just make sure that "Author meta" option
is enabled in each of your post layouts in Theme Options.
But, you probably don't want to display your author link in each of layouts and you don't have to worry because this Google "issue" actually won't affect your SEO.
The only thing that seems reasonable is to have author data enabled for your single post templates and you can check it in Theme Options-> Single Post.
