    1. Hi, Thank you. We are aware of this issue and we will do our best to fix it shortly. Meanwhile, you may download Hotel Booking 3.9.14 and install it on your site downgrading the version.

  1. Hi, I’m using Albatross theme with Hotel Booking pro plugin. I would like to know if there is a way to replace the featured image of Single Accommodation pages with the image gallery of that accommodation type or not?

    1. Hi Vias, There is no such an option in the theme by default. You might need to override the template files of the theme to replace the featured image with the gallery on the pages of accommodation types.

  2. Hi Mr Davis,

    Thanks for your help on the coloring, I managed to change the link of the colors. The only thing that I have now left is the pink color of the widgets like for the price and the icons.

    how can I change those?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Nikki, You may try to change the color code withing the following styles:

      .main-navigation li:hover > a {
          color: #fc9285;
      }
      .social-menu a:hover {
          color: #fc9285;
      }
      .entry-title a:hover {
          color: #fc9285;
      }

      You may contact our support team for further assistance.

      1. Thanks! That made the header look a bit better indeed but I am also looking to narrow the space just below the header any tips for that?

        Thanks!

        1. Hi Nikki,
          Thanks for your reply. You may try to add the code below additionally to the previous one:

          @media (min-width: 780px) {
            #primary.site-main {
              margin-top: -80px !important;
            }
          }

    1. Hi, Thanks for your question. Each slide of the slideshow on the Home page is a child page of your Home page. So you need to navigate to Pages > All pages and find the Front Page. There you will see the child pages under it. You need to edit the child page to be able to change the title, excerpt, and featured image.

  3. Hi thanks again for all your assistance on the theme.

    I am wondering if there is a way around not using a small square logo in the header. It seems whenever I try to upload the logo, it gets cropped.

    Is there a way to override this, so I can upload a landscape logo?

  4. I am trying to test if Albatross would work for our vacation rental, however I can’t import the demo data – it says “There are no predefined import files available for this theme. Please upload the import files manually below.”

    Where can I download the demo data from so i can upload to WordPress?

  5. Hi there,

    How can I edit the header so that I may be able to add an additional button where the ‘Menu’ button is? I cannot find the container to edit this section.

    Thanks,
    Jamie

    1. Hi Jamie, There is no possibility to add custom buttons next to the MENU button in the header. You may try to override the header.php file of the theme to add custom content.

  6. Hi I would like the rooms & suits to look like waht you have on your demo page (one line gallery scrolling horizontally) When I import the accommodation in – each one shows as full page images with the info underneath rather than smaller images. in one line.

    Is this something in the settings – because I have tried a few things and cant seem to get it looking like yours.

    Also is there a way to edit the layout of the accommodation page template? You mentioned below that it can be done in Elementor but I am not finding this option.

    1. Hi Julie, You need to apply a special class name slider to transform the list of the accommodation types into a slider/carousel. This is a feature of the Albatross theme only.
