And I see the store pictures does not fix at center. When we add a new store, the picture shifts to left. Any solution to that?
From where should we change media (picture) settings?
When you upload logo directly that will appear at the left. The Image size is fixed at 180X110 PX. You need to design an image with that ration and make the logo at the centre while designing the image. Then upload the designed image. You need to use any one of these Graphic Designing Tools to design the image.
Hello, author of this blog.
I am currently using clipper theme with flatter child theme for a coupon website. I am afraid of unreliable coupons once anyone hit downvote. Is there any suggestion to fix this problem?
I don’t want to go my coupons to unreliable as they are still working. On the basis of your tutorial, I have purchased clipper theme.
I am also having the same issue. I have contacted their support, they said they would take care of it in the coming updates. But I am not sure.
I have a solution that, you can hide the vote box using CSS. You can add below code in your edit css section.
.thumbsup-vote {
border: 1px solid #DBDBDB;
background: #F8F8F8;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(1%, #F8F8F8), color-stop(100%, #FFF));
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px #BDBDBD;
display:none;
