Hey!
I love the Vantage theme, and a lot is possible with it. I’m considering buying it so I can reuse it for other sites. (Yes, I could use the free versions for all sites, but I want to costumize colors and stuff so they look different)
But, I can’t really find out what the ACTUAL added features are from the Vantage Premium package. The video in my dashboard doesn’t actually give any information about Vantage Premium vs Vantage Free, which is kind of weird.
Why do I want it? Things like “Page Builder Element Styles” and “Customizer Integration” aren’t actually really informative. It hints towards what I want, but it doesn’t actually say anything. I would love examples of premium features that I can see in a demo or something.
(As a hint, I love Meta Sliders way of doing this. They have an example per feature on their website. It’s 100% obvious what I will get from them if I buy it)
Hi Coo van Leeuwen
Thanks for your feedback here.
Appearance > Vantage Premium has our most detailed list of premium features. The premium Customizer has large amount of controls added. There are unfortunately no premium row styles added.
Let me know if there is anything specific you’re looking for and I’ll let you know the details.
Hi Andrew,
Thank you so much for your reply. Because I like how well Vantage integrates with things like Meta Slider and SiteBuilder, I would love to use it for my other sites as well, but I can’t have all my sites look the same. So what I would love is:
(predefined) Color schemes i.e. instead of white background and dark grey menu, switch out those colors with something else. I add predefined here, because I (and I think many people with me) have asolutely no sense for which colors go together.
Boxed vs full width, I would love to be able to style the box, and maybe even determine it’s max size.
Other things like the size of the logo and the spacing around it or centering the menu would also be great.
Are these possibilities in the premium version? Preferably without manually messing with CSS?
I think you should really have a sandbox site available. The product is really good but it’s being undersold by not clearly showing the added benefit of the premium version.
Sure.
1. The Premium Customizer lets you set the color for just about everything. There aren’t any schemes but you can individually change the color for the menu, menu hover, footer, header background etc.
2.
Boxed or full width can be styled in the Premium Customizer, background color or background image can be set.
You can adjust the width of the boxed layout by inserting the following under Appearance > Custom CSS in premium or in your own Custom CSS plugin like Jetpack Custom CSS or Simple Custom CSS:
/* Vantage Boxed Layout Site Width */ body.responsive #page-wrapper { max-width: 960px !important; }You can center the menu by using the following under Appearance > Custom CSS in premium or in your own Custom CSS plugin like Jetpack Custom CSS or Simple Custom CSS:
/* Vantage center align the main menu */ .main-navigation ul { font-size: 0; text-align: center; } .main-navigation ul li { display: inline-block; float: none; font-size: 13px; } .main-navigation ul ul li { text-align: left; }Header padding can be set in the Premium Customizer.
The logo can be centered in the Premium Customizer.
Thanks for your feedback. Hope the above helps.
(The above selectors inserted into Appearance > Custom CSS in Vantage Premium or your own Custom CSS plugin are a completely safe way of handling small modifications not included in either version theme options. They will be maintained during updates of the theme.)
