Hey there. Thank you very much for your theme. We are using it for our fun blog now. It is a great theme but you want to have some feedback 😉 So here we go:
1. How can I add a custom logo image properly? When I try to upload one image an integrate it in the site it is always scaled up to a way too large size in the preview.
2. When we integrate youtube or vimeo videos into articles: How can we change the size in the desktop view. They are too small. A little bit more height would be nice.
Hi ungeheuler!
Thanks for your input but for support questions please post your issue in our forum https://forum.themient.com. I will be glad to help you 😉
With the logo i fixed it using this size: 205 x 40
What plugin are you using for your social links? I’m using “Ultimate Social Media Icons” and it doesn’t seem to be working correctly. (Can only see half of one icon, other icons are off the screen)
No plugins at all, it’s just a custom Widget built in our theme so if you deactivate the theme the widget will disappear. For support questions please consult our Support Forum: https://forum.themient.com
Post your issue and we will respond quickly!
How to change Twitter link user in author box ??
The author can change this link from Users => Your Profile but you will need to install a Plugin such as WP SEO by Yoast that will add Facebook, Twitter and Google+ author meta data or the author box will not be able to show the author social icons.
The Realistic theme looks awesome. There’s two issues though:
1. It doesn’t render properly on the iPad two in landscape mode. The nav links vanish and the mobile menu doesn’t show up either.
2. The demo of the website isn’t working. It appears as all text as if the CDN is down or a style sheet is missing.
Thank you Steven for reporting this bug, much appreciated 🙂
1. I have already received your email and was already working on the issue. Your Ipad 2 landscape resolution is 1024px. On this resolution and above the Navigation menu will appear but I thought I will appear on 851px resolution too (Yes I know it’s my mistake, Sorry!). The fix is only a simple change in “style.css” file but because the comments form does not allow any formatting I don’t want to paste any codes here. If It’s possible please report the issue on our Support Forum ( “Bug Report” board) https://forum.themient.com/viewforum.php?f=5 so you and other theme users don’t have to wait for the next update.
2. The Realistic demo website is working flawlessly ( check again here http://demo.themient.com/realistic ) but sometimes the server goes down for a minute or two. We are not using CDN but please try with a different browser. If the site loads correctly, then clear your previous browser cache.
Regards!
Hi, Asmi Khalil!thank you for your theme. I am using it now for my blog. Is it possible to hide tag for this theme?
Hi Ambiya, thanks for your feedback!
Yes that’s possible! Please post your question on our Support Forum and I will provide you a Step-by-step instructions.
Note: Please explain what you mean by “tag”. Do you mean the post tags that appears on posts individually?
i just check your themes, the responsive menu mobile not appear when i resize the browser… but else is ok, think is good enough to make this theme as parent themes
Hi Erwin, It doesn’t make sense to me to show the same menu in both mobile version and desktop version. So the mobile menu is hidden by default on desktop and visible only on phone and tablets. While the horizontal menu is only visible on desktop. This is not a bug, I’ve done this intentionally.
Very nice theme. I Really love the material design. Looking great and currently I am using this theme on my website.
The theme is very good but there is problem with the loading of google advertisements as these ads are loading twice in this theme .If anyone knew the solution please share .
Maybe Material Design Lite (MDL) framework is conflicting with one of your plugins. Adsense uses JS to render ads on your website and MDL uses JS alot on your page content.

the responsive menu mobile is ok, think is good enough to make this theme as parent themes.
Thanks for choosing to use Realistic as a Parent theme 🙂
Hi, Asmi! Can you check and add russian translation for theme at wordpress.org?
Hi br3t,
I will try to find someone to translate the theme to Russian 🙂
But it have been almost translated. Just approve submitted translations.
Oh, you are talking about translation at WP.org? Actually, I don’t have the right to approve/disapprove contributor translations for my theme. Only General Translation Editors have this right. So I will try to contact one of them to approve the Russian translation.
Thank you!
Do Google Adsense will Approve with this theme ?
Hi washish, Google Adsense will approve your account depending on the content your website is sharing, not it’s design.
Hi!
Do you have a paid theme as like as realistic
Well, currently the paid version of Realistic is under development and it should be released this summer.
Hi!
I like this theme and i’m using it in my website, but, there’s a problem with the search bar when I use it from cellphones, it doesn’t appear properly.
How can i solve it?
Hi Xander, sorry for my late response!

This is the kind of material design i have been searching for. Downloaded it will soon install it on one of my sites.
I really love the default realistic Theme that comes with Visual Studio Code, but also love the Material Design Palette. The thing is I didn’t found a good material
It’s only free version or any paid version too for better quality 🙂
Hi there, thanks for passing by!
Unfortunately, Realistic is only available as free version, at the moment. But after the release of Elif (premium), I am planning to start developing of a premium Material Design theme.
It was really shiny article. Awesome one informative thing.
