  1. Thank you for your awesome theme!

    I did find a strange behaviour, when I add a custom link to a specific id on a different page, I get a js error. If I remove preventdefaultbehaviour from functions.js everything works again.

    This first started popping up, when I added css class to menu item (default wp screen option).

    Do you have any suggestion?

    1. Hi, Thanks for your question however could you please submit it to our support team providing screenshots or examples? Thanks.

    1. Hi Nigel,
      Thanks for your question. You may try to add the style below to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
      .single-mphb_room_type .mphb-calendar-title, .single-mphb_room_type .mphb-calendar{
      display:none;
      }

  2. Hi there,

    First of all, thank you for the great theme!!

    We temporarily updated the front page, and we were wondering if there was a way to remove the “scroll to content” button (e.g. the button to slide down or back up), and replace it with an elementor widget so that users can sign up on a form?

    This is the current front page: https://woodnest.be/.

    Many thanks for your help!

  3. Hi, I basically finished setting up my website using Albatross and tested to book to see if it’s working, I can’t seem to receive any confirmation email though, after I booked. Is there anything I missed?

    1. Hi Lois,
      Thanks for your question. by default the email is delivered by PHP Mail Function that should be configured on your server. If it is not configured then the emails that are sent from your site will not be delivered. Thus we recommend using the SMTP plugin to configure SMTP for better and more secure email delivery.

  4. Hello, i just installed them and basically set up my site. But i can’t seem to be able to edit the homepage slider, i have tried elementor and even WordPress editor.

    1. Hi, thanks for your question. Each slide of the slideshow is a child page of the Front Page. You need to navigate to Dashboard > Pages > All Pages and find the Front Page. Under the Front Page, there should be available child pages that you need to edit to change the title, featured images, and description.

    1. Hi Dominik,
      Thanks for contacting us. You may try to apply the custom style to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
      .site-branding {
      width: 100%;
      }

  5. Hello, great theme, congrats!
    I installed the theme with demo content in wordpress 5.9 and the homepage has a problem with the slider of “Inspired by the local atmosphere” section. The arrows don’t work, the slider is static showing only the first 3 images and the photos are without margins…
    the slider of blog post don’t work either…
    How to solve it?
    Thank you for your help!

  6. Hi, how can I put the availability calendar in the right column, under “View availability”? Now the calendar is left below all the photos, so you have to scroll all the way down to see the calendar.

    1. Hi Maxime,
      You can achieve this by adding the lines below to the function.php file of the child theme.
      remove_action( 'mphb_render_single_room_type_metas', array( '\MPHB\Views\SingleRoomTypeView', 'renderCalendar' ), 40 );
      add_action( 'albatross_single_room_type_form', array( '\MPHB\Views\SingleRoomTypeView', 'renderCalendar' ), 40 );

  7. Hello,

    I would change some theme’s widget pink color to green color. How can I change it?

    And other question:

    How can I change the theme color?

    Thank you for your help!

    1. Hi Mate, the color can be edited by applying custom CSS only. We have added your request to our list of features. Thanks.

        1. Hi Mate,
          You may add styles to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS. Or you may add it to the style.css file of the child theme if you installed and activated it on your site.

          1. Hello!
            You will need to add custom CSS under Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS:

            .site-header .header-dropdown-toggle {
            background-color: green;
            }
