FlatPage
Overview
This product has been retired and it is no longer updated or supported after the release of Vantage 4.x. It only works up till Vantage 3.0.x. but we provide no guarantees it will work on your older version. Please exercise caution before purchasing or renewing a license for it.
FlatPage is yet another elegant responsive child theme from our “flat design” series, this time for Vantage in our series of “flat design” themes that includes Flatter for Clipper, FlatPress for ClassiPress and FlatRoller for JobRoller. With minimal graphics the pages load much quicker which is just great for any website. The look of all the pages has been revamped to give it an ultra-modern feel.
The child theme comes with 11 colour schemes(!) and with a bonus top navigation area that can be used to better manage your website. It is also light on graphics, which means the upgrade in look is firmly coupled with an upgrade in performance. Moreover, it is possible to hide any widgets for mobile devices to improve load times and prevent the page from being too long, which is pretty much unique for any theme! All in all, the child theme is a complete package for your successful WordPress powered directory site!
Key Features:
- Fully responsive directory child theme

- Additional navigation area on the top panel to accommodate more links!
- Better looking single ad page with larger image
- Theme options page to manage the look and feel of the website
- Hide unwanted widgets on mobile devices!
- Compatible with Vantage 3.x
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this child theme responsive?
Yes the theme is fully responsive - What is unique in this child theme?
The FlatPage child theme layout is based on Flat Design, which practically means there are very few images used in the design, improving the performance on all devices. The child theme comes with 11 colour schemes to suit your style. With the use of mobile phones for browsing websites ever increasing, there are a couple of mobile-specific features. You can opt to display a Responsive CSS based menu for primary navigation instead of the HTML Select menu that comes with Vantage, but the real icing on the cake comes in the form of the option to prevent each widget from displaying on mobile devices (not hiding it using CSS), which will keep the pages tidy and improve performance further - Do you plan to create more child themes along the same lines?
Yes, we launched Flatter for Clipper and FlatPress for ClassiPress previously, and FlatRoller for JobRoller subsequently, so the customers can have consistent branding if they use more than one theme from AppThemes
Installation:
- Extract zip in the /wp-content/themes/ directory.
- Activate the theme through the ‘Appearance’ menu in WordPress.
- Manage theme options from Vantage → FlatPage Settings.

Support FAQs
- What kind of support is offered with a purchased product?
Your product purchase includes one year of access to premium support via email and one year or free updates. Beyond that, you will need to renew your subscription year on year for around 30% of the product price. Support covers issues such as bug fixes (if any) under normal operation, how to use basic product features, very basic WordPress help, and help with very basic theme customisaton. If you need more advanced modifications please consider hiring a developer to do it for you. - Will you provide help with small modifications?
If you need to do small modifications, you may get help from us as long as they are reasonable in number and nature. If you have a lot of such modifications, please consider paid developer help. - What kind of help would be unreasonable to ask?
This is not an easy question to answer. We are here to ensure that the product you purchased works as intended by us and serves its purpose on your website. That means if it doesn’t work for you, we can step in and help you with it. However, it is when there are no issues with the functioning of the product and all you want is help with modification, that demands start getting unreasonable.
As mentioned before, we don’t mind helping with modifications, but we also expect you to have tried everything to do it yourself. In other words, we expect you to have tried all the settings in your theme, ensured that the issue relates to the product in question, searched through legacy product support forum, and looked around on Google for the answer to your questions before approaching us. Please bear in mind that one theme, one child theme and a few plugins can get you only so far, and you will probably need to make changes to the code of your website to add functionality, change design and personalise it. In case of too many modifications, we will politely ask you to seek paid help. - I am using one of your child themes. I am having an issue with it.
Please make sure the issue is really with the child theme by activating the parent theme and checking if the problem gets solved. Also please make sure you have tested all the settings in parent theme and child theme, sometimes the answer is right in there! Send us an email if the issue still persists. - I am using one of your child themes. I need help with customisation.
As a pre-requisite, you are going to need a basic understanding of HTML & CSS to start customising the layout and style of your theme. To dig deeper PHP knowledge, specifically to WordPress, will help as well. The WordPress Codex is a great place to start learning. For CSS changes related to text colour, background colour, fonts, etc, please consider using the Firebug extension. A simple Google search returns many good text/video tutorials. - Do you offer paid WordPress development services?
Yes we do depending on our work schedule. You can always run your requirements by us via email.

4 reviews of “FlatPage”
Answered my presales questions fast so I purchased. Theme is a mess and messed up my CP4 theme. Wasted countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling. I had to actually uninstall WP all together to fix. NO SUPPORT whatsoever. No docs. I have been using CP for years and never had problems like this. Check demo on your iphone to see what a mess. Also, installation wasn’t like demo. Took my money and ran. Stay away.
I was so excited about this theme I made a second site, and now working on my third. Thank you it’s awesome.
FlatPage is really nice theme. Highly recommended. I have used it at http://www.4textile.com.
Something I had been waiting for. Very happy with it.

Hi,
I am using vantage theme for my website, but when some one subscribe any of the package after selecting the categories.
Subscriber can edit those categories. He can switch to some other categories. I want to charge them for this, if they change the categories. Please advise how it can be done.
I see all the theme files are calling this function appthemes_display_checkout, but i could not find the code for this function.
Please help.
Thanks
Replied via email.
Maybe missing something but I don’t see the option for the header image or logo. Nicely done. Might need to look at validation.
I am glad it’s sorted!
Found it. Just not where I expected.
Hi
It is possible to put Blog on Home page, and is this themes have good SEO ?? Thanks
any help
Hi there,
FlatPage is basically just a skin over Vantage and doesn’t add much of its own. You may want to post your queries in Vantage forums to see if it allows blog on the homepage (I have no reason to believe that it doesn’t though) and if it is good for SEO.
Regards,
Mohsin
what I can see there is problem with H1 and H 2 tags and meta
Not sure what you mean. It is meant to work like Vantage and you can modify the code if you want.
Hi do you provide any support for this themes because I’m very interesting to buy
All our themes are supported and guaranteed to work with the latest version of Vantage. You may want to check the support tab on this page to read what is covered and what isn’t. Thanks.
Hi Mohsin,
how easy would it be to design a landing page for this theme with a photo and search boxes, before landing straight on the map?
e.g, i prefer everything about vantage and your flat theme, but this would be great? i would be happy to pay for the development?

Hi,
Love the theme, have it on my website http://www.localsearch.ie
There seems to be a issue with the create listing tho. After I create a listing from the front end and click submit I am getting a Error 404 on the /order/ page. I have uninstalled all plugins and saved the premalinks again and again and I am still getting this 404. Doesn’t matter which payment plan I choose I still get it. I have changed back to the orginial Vantage theme and it works. Flatpage seems to cause it.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

Can the map icons be changed?
Yes, the easiest way to do this would be to replace the icon files in the child theme.

hi, this theme will work with Vantage 4.0?
Vantage 4.0 is not ready yet, and it is a total overhaul over the current version. The current version of FlatPage will become redundant, but we have plans to make FlatPage compatible with Vantage 4.0, which means a huge amount of work so if you plan to order it now, you will have to wait on us to release an update before switching to 4.0.
If you haven’t yet ordered, I would advice you to wait until Vantage 4.0 is out.
I got order on my directory website. I checked and got this issue http://prntscr.com/dk9rjz. How to solve Getway?
Waiting reply soon
