      1. Remember one thing you have to keep the post count same in your blog settings and pagination widget.

        There is a limit of 1mb from blogger side, only 1mb of images or text you can show in home page and you are exceeding that limit and that is the reason rest of the post is going on next page, there is not any solution, but you can try page break after 1st paragraph in every post, may be this will help

    18. Love the theme - however, some post previews (snippet) display the following "Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 ..." how can this be corrected to properly display post preview/snippet? Thank you!

      1. It's happening because you are copying text from Microsoft word.

      2. I did end up solving that issue by simply using the reformat button in blogger dashboard to remove the Word formatting. However, when I did that, it in turn also apparently removed some of the code neccesary for the preview/snippet photo. all that shows on those corrected posts is the social button strip. No thumbnail photo. Is there a better way to remedy this? Thank you!

    21. Hello, I've left several comments on here- none of which are showing up. I'm considering buying this template, but I'm wondering just what kind of support I'll receive after purchase. So far just on here it's not looking good.

      I've downloaded this template and played with it. I've gotten several of the customizations finished and am about to do the main menu- still trying to figure out how I want to do that. I decided to see how everything looked in firefox as well- the image I put in for my 'about' doesn't show and when I click on the instagram photos it goes to instagram to a 'page not found'. These things work fine in Chrome- again, I'd appreciate some help. If this template isn't working with the free- I certainly don't want to have to buy it to get it working- it should work well before that.

    22. Instagram photos at top when using Firefox and Edge go to "Sorry, page not found." and the photo I put in for the about widget does not show in FF or Edge either. I've gotten a lot of the tweaks done- but it doesn't do much good if it doesn't work in other browsers. I've contacted Sora as well. Some help would be good. Thanks.
