Hey! How do I remove the bootstrap navbar on top? I don’t see any HTML?
Hello Vignesh,
To hide the bootstrap navbar, go to docs.css which is located in CSS folder.
Open the file and go to line no 44 or search the class #panel #advanced
Add a css property as
display:noneand you are done!is there any way to keep the navbar, but change the links?
Hello Kurt,
Will you please elaborate?
I figured it out. The top (fixed) nav bar’s html is in bootstrap.css, and is “prepended”. Just curious, why is it not in the html outright?
Awesome design cheers.
I would like to change the images in the main carousel to slide instead of fade, which file would I need to edit to do this?
Cheers
Hello Richard,
All those carousel to slide switching is handled using the media queries.
To make the images slide you just have change the min and max media screen
in css/kwicks-slider.css file.
Just search and replace this line
@media handheld, only screen and (min-width:1300px)with@media handheld, only screen and (min-width:1900px)and
@media only screen and (max-width:1299px)with@media only screen and (max-width:1899px)PS: Considering the screen size 1899px max upto which images will slide and navigation will be visible.

Great theme but i have a error “missing style.css” so i can’t use it :’(
Are you trying to install it to WordPress?
Euh…Yes..I miss something here?
My english is not so good maybe i read wrong and is it not for wordpress
Well, we will try to release a WordPress version of this template
I found this great template you’ve kindly offered for free whilst i was researching Twitter Bootstrap. I understand the whole layout was created using Bootstrap but all the extra functionality, is this something that was added by using custom php & js? This may sound like a very stupid question (forgive me, i’m only just learning web design), but how do i make use of such features, like the blog? Do i need to know php and js or do i need to plug this template into some kind of ‘platform’? Any pointers would be helpful and greatly appreciated, and again, sorry for what may seem like a daft question here.
Hello Jason,
Yes, all the extra features has been added using the custom php and js codes.
Regarding the blog, you need to convert the template into some CMS theme like WordPress.
And you are always welcome to ask questions and clear your queries
Thank You for clearing this up for me, i understand this better now
Hi there!
Thank you so much for this!
Best,

Where would you go to edit the image that shows up in the gallery when you click on an image?
We used the gallery on two pages. Open index.html file and search for img/image-blank.png
you need to replace this default image with your images.
Same in the work.html file. Once you updated the link you will see your image.
Let us know if you find any difficulty.
Great template, thanks a lot.
But I can’t get the contact form to work. I’ve changed “ownerEmail” to my own but I dont get the form send to it.
Any ideas?
cheers
