Launch: A Free “Coming Soon” WordPress Theme

Here at WP Kube we’re big on providing you with the best WordPress resources, tutorials, guides, how-to’s, and more. It’s all about delivering value to our awesome WordPress community and in particular, to you, our loyal reader.

Today we’re excited to offer something completely new – a free WordPress theme designed to help to kick-off your next website, product or service.

Introducing Launch. It’s really good.

Launch-Free-WordPress-Theme

Designed by Jason Schuller and developed right here at WP Kube, Launch is a single-page WordPress theme built with intention and purpose. Although simple, Launch brings a lot to the table with it’s modern design, clean code and perfect responsiveness. You can check out the demo here.

As soon as you’re ready to start building your community, just download the free template, add your details, and start collecting subscribers.

Key Features of our Launch Theme include:

  • Clean, simple, and focused design
  • Compatible with MailChimp
  • Perfectly responsive
  • Compatible with all modern browsers
  • Easily customized

Beautifully Simple & Completely Customizable

wpkube-customizer

Launch doesn’t just look great – it’s easy to set up too. All theme features are easily managed through the customizer, giving you full control over everything that’s important – favicon, logo, headline and sub-head, it’s all there. A default 1280x960px image is included with the theme but can easily be changed to anything you desire and as your project progresses, you can update the % complete indicator to keep your visitors up to date.

The whole purpose of Launch is, of course, to build your audience during the development phase, and all you’ll need to get started is a MailChimp account. Simply drop your API key and List ID into the appropriate fields and you’re ready to roll. In case email just isn’t your thing, there’s a check box to disable the form. Social links and email are optional and the footer text can be updated to anything you desire (although we’d love the credit).

      • Dave Lea says

        I also have the issue with the mail chimp intergration?? API in and list ID but blank screen with a black cross??? Can you help

        • Devesh Sharma says

          Hey Dave,

          Not sure how I missed your comment. Anyway, if you’re still having issues with mailchimp integration, let me know. I’d be happy to take a look.

    • Hardeep Asrani says

      Hi

      It’d be great if you could give me more details about ti so I could try to reproduce it. Waiting to hearing back from you. Let me know. 🙂

      Regards,
      Hardeep

          • Nkosana Mabuza says

            Good day Devesh,

            I figured the Mailchimp issue was resolved but when I try to install in on WordPress I get this error:
            “Destination folder already exists. /var/www/webroot/ROOT/wp-content/themes/launch/

            Theme install failed.”

            Can you assist? Thanks.

          • Nkosana Mabuza says

            Hi Devesh,

            I installed the theme, added the API keys and the list ID but I still dont received email on Mailchimp. What could be the problem? Looking forward to your response thanks.

            Regards
            N Mabuza

            • Goncalo says

              Well I had the same problem, I solved it by changing the mandatory fields in Mailchimp for required only on email address (I also had required for FNAME and it didn’t worked out)
              Hope it helps.

              A work around is to make a general form on mailchimp and put the link for subscription in footer for example…

              • Nkosana Mabuza says

                Hi Goncalo,

                Thank you so much trying to assist but that did not work for me. I ended up downloading the new template and it works. Thanks.

                • Dilly says

                  Hi Nkosana,
                  Were you able to resolve the issue with MailChimp? I’ve been having the same issue and tried everything without any luck. Thanks.

              • Dare says

                Hello,

                Great theme. I just neet to know is there any way to insert wordpress shortcodes in the text? (ex. youtube video, custom contact form…)

  7. Don McGowan says

    Hi.

    Thanks for the theme, it looks fantastic.

    I have a similar issue as the last commenter. I have input my Mailchimp API and List ID correctly but when I test it with an email address it doesn’t pull through to my Mailchimp list.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Thanks.

    Don

  8. Guilherme Brazilian says

    Hey Buddy,

    For first, thanks for this excelent theme! It sound’s great !
    And second, sorry my poor english!

    I have a question for you, cuz i don’t know NOTHING about php.
    I’ve downloaded your theme right now, but when i put this theme on my public_html the current message shows:

    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/universo/public_html/launch/index.php on line 1”

    How can i fix it ?
    Thanks a lot !

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Guilherme,

      Thanks for the nice words.

      I’m guessing you uploaded the theme in wrong folder. Themes go into /wp-content/themes directory. Not in the main WordPress directory.

      Please do a fresh installation of WordPress and then install the theme.

  9. Yunus says

    Installing the plugin file is loaded: launch.zip
    Package is opened …

    Attachment Loading …

    Could not install package. Current plug-ins found.

    Plug-ins fail to load.

    Please Helpp 🙁

  10. Wilson says

    Hi, thanks for the great theme, really appreciate the work you’re putting out.
    Have just downloaded and uploaded this theme and would like to check with you how do I go about increasing the size of the Site Title.
    Can’t seem to be able to do it in the customise page.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

  12. Andy says

    Love the theme and installed easily. I’m also having the mail chimp issue though.

    API and List ID added and published. When entering an email address getting the “fail” cross displaying (and obviously mail chimp not updating)

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hi Faroz,

      This theme cannot be installed on WordPress.com. To use our theme, you’ll need to move your site to self-hosted WordPress platform (.org).

      See our post on WordPress.com vs WordPress.org to understand the difference between the two platforms.

  14. Dias says

    Hey guys, great theme!

    Can you please tell me how can I hide the title of the page on this theme? Because the logo I’m using already has it so I don’t need it.

    Thanks and great work!

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Dias,

      Currently there’s no easy way to hide the title. It would require quite a bit of customization unfortunately. I’d recommend finding a freelancer who could help you out with this task. http://studio.envato.com have a big selection of WP freelancers.

      Thanks for the kind words.

  15. Nkosana Mabuza says

    Hi WPKube team,

    Please check our website http://www.spacedecode.com
    The website is pointed to a 3rd party service and we pointed the website using the DNS. This is the issue below. Could you please assist:

    Font from origin ‘http://productlaunch.cloudhosting.rsaweb.co.za’ has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘http://spacedecode.com’ is therefore not allowed access.

  16. Yvonne says

    I have installed your theme but I am having an issue whereby I cannot upload any images into the media Library, either directly in the Library or in the Customizer, when the Launch theme is active. I tested this by deactivating your theme and then activating twenty fifteen, where I have no problem uploading images. I also cannot see any previously uploaded media in the Library when the Launch theme is activated.

    Has anyone encountered this issue and solved it?

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Thanks for pointing that out, Yvonne.

      Just fixed the issue, please download the latest version from above.

  17. maxpouttee says

    HI!!

    i can’t enter any title on my launch page otherwise it places the word at the back of my logo on the top! Can help me?

  18. Shelley says

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for this lovely theme. I’d like to have ‘Launch’ up while I customize my wordpress website running on the genesis framework.

    However, I notice that when Launch is activated, genesis + child theme (altitude) don’t work so I can’t customize on the website.

    Is there any way around this? Or is Launch just a cover theme for a parked domain? Cheers. 🙂

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hi Shelley,

      I see what you are trying to do and I’m afraid that might not be possible. The best way would be to using a coming soon plugin such as SeedProd, that will allow you to make changes in the back-end.

      Another option would be to setup a testing environment, where you can make the changes.

      Cheers,
      Dev

      • Devesh Sharma says

        Hey Simon,

        The easiest way would be to search for .icon.facebook:before & .icon.facebook:twitter in the css file. Then replace the content with the icons from Ionicons.

        Cheers!

        • Mieka c says

          Hi,

          I’m trying to change the social button from email to Instagram.
          I’m using the codes from http://ionicons.com – ion-social-instagram-outline,  and \f350 and replacing them in the 3 different areas.

          It doesn’t seem to work for me. Please let me know how I can fix this.
          Thanks.

  20. Al Araf says

    Hi,

    Thank you very much for the template. I’ve tried to change the social icons as per the previous post but it doesn’t seem to work for me. Can you please provide further explanations?
    All the best!
    Al

      • Simon says

        Thanks guys, the cheat sheet really helped.

        All I had to do was the replace the three digit numbers of the templates social icons with the ones I wanted to replace them with (as shown in the cheatsheet).

        • Sarah says

          Hi Simon,
          I know its been a while since you wrote the post – but where exactly did you change the social links? I am a newbie and not sure how to do it. Figured I’ll ask someone who has done it successfully, if you do not mind taking the time?

  22. Simon says

    Hi Dev

    I have added an image to template – which you can seen at http://simon-mackenzie.com

    What I have discovered however is that when viewing the website on an iPad, the image does not change size like it does on an iphone. 

    Is there a way to way it make it responsive on a ipad also?

    I have read about using css for media only screen devices but unsure where to add code like this in the editor.

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hi Simon,

      Looks good. Open your style.css file, do a quick search for @media (max-width: 800px) & replace it with @media (max-width: 924px)

      Haven’t tested it yet, but it should to do the trick. Feel free to reach out to me directly via Contact us page, if you need any more help.

      Cheers!

  23. Al Araf says

    Hi there, when I click on the social buttons my site is replaced by the social website. Does anyone know how can I make the social site come up on a new tab? Thanks

  24. Jimmy says

    I love this theme. Only thing I’d like, is the possibility to change the color for text, lines, etc. i’d like to have a light background, but I need to have black text to pull that off.

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Jimmy,

      Thanks for the nice words. You can do that by editing your stylesheet file and replace the body color with #000 (line 441).

  25. rachel says

    Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! One thing: I have the latest version, and yet no MailChimp subscribers are coming through when I test. Any ideas?

  28. pete says

    Hi there guys,

    Fabulous looking coming soon page…had me drooling!
    However, a small newbie query here: If this is a theme and not a plugin, how can I have this installed and then install my actual theme that I need for making our website. I don’t understand…. Help!

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Thanks Pete.

      That’s not possible with the launch theme. if you want to make customization on the actual theme (& still have the coming soon page), you will need to something like SeedProd.

  29. Raúl says

    Hi,

    I’d like to know if I could use this template just to set only a background image. I mean with no site logo, no progress bar, no text, no social icons… Only the background image. If this were possible, which would be the most appropriate size for the image?

    Thanks.

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hi Raúl,

      Yes, you can do that by adding display:none property in the body class of your styelsheet. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with me via our contact us page.

  30. Amanda says

    Hey guys! I’m brand new to web building. Using wordpress through my purchased domain/hosting with bluehost. I installed the template which works fine on my desktop but it does not seem to be responsive on mobile. I also wanted to change the logo size but I do not know how to access my style.css file.

    • Amanda says

      Found the style sheet. Will attempt to change the sizing and responsiveness per the coments above.

      • Amanda says

        Thanks, Devesh! I’m still having issues with the responsiveness on mobile. Not sure if it’s related to a plug-in via WordPress or what. It seems to be placing a generic “Nothing Found” WordPress blog post over my template.

  31. tracy powell says

    Hi having problems with the mail-chimp integration. I notice you referred to a subsequent update above but not sure where that is . Where exactly can i find this?

  32. Mike says

    Hi,
    Firstly, thanks for a great landing page, simple and elegant..

    I am having problems trying to work out, how just to have my logo at the top, without the name of the website to the right of it..

    When you have nothing in the entry box for the title customisation, it defaults to not having the entire block at the top..

    Also, I have typed in our business tagline in the entry box, but it does not appear anywhere on the website..

    If you look at our website, I have inserted a ‘.’ in the title entry box, just so that it does not default, but you can still see it just behind the logo..

    Please help..

    Mike

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Glad you liked the design, Mike.

      You can hide that using text-intent, find “#header .content span.logo” in style.css file, and add this: 

      text-indent: 9999px;

      • Geoffrey says

        but now i ve a scroll bar because the texte moved far to the right 🙁
        possible to make it hide ? (something like “text-decoration: none”) ?

        Thank per advance for your help.

        Love your template

        Geo

        • Devesh Sharma says

          HI Geo,

          That will remove the logo altogether. I think you’ll need to hire someone to make the modifications / changes (probably via Codeable or Envato Studio).

  33. Loc_rabbirt says

    Looking around on google and found it, design very high quality. I like this design so much :).

  34. Mike says

    Hi Devesh,

    Thanks for your help before, perfect solution..

    One more request, and I should be all good..

    How can I put a line of text between the subscribe button, and the socoal icons?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    • Devesh Sharma says

      No problem — glad I could be of help.

      Not possible to add the line via settings page, but it can be done by editing the index file (shouldn’t be too hard).

  35. Izad says

    Hi,

    I’ve set up mailchimp correctly in the theme settings but I am not receiving any subscribers in my list even when I entered test emails.

    Help please. Thank you!

  36. Geoffrey says

    Thanks you for your amazing landing page, love it!
    Just one thing: I have the latest version, and yet no MailChimp subscribers are coming through when I test it. Any ideas where is the issues ?
    I ve already read the feedback and it seems like i’m not alone in this situation.
    How may i fix it ?

    thanks per advance for your help
    BR

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Geoffrey,

      I just tested the theme and it seems to be working fine on my end. They have to confirm their subscription before they can be added to your email list.

      Feel free to reach out to me directly if you’re still having issues.

  37. Gary says

    Hi There!, great theme btw, i was thinking how to add a button at the bottom of the footer which can dropdown to show more text like the FB’s show more, to show my careers page for hiring, thanks

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Gary,

      Thanks but any customization at this point requires additional work. So you will have to hire someone to make the modifications for you.

  38. Sarah says

    I was loking for a template for WP like yours. Congratulations for its simplicity and connection with Mailchimp. It works very well. Good done guys! 😉

  39. Adam M says

    This is a great, well-thought out and flexible early-stage landing-page theme.

    How can I add another page?

    It seems it overrides any other page I add, eg /sample/ looks the same as index.php.

  40. VALERIE says

    Hi,

    Love the theme, thank you!

    I am trying to remove the dashed lines that separates the top and bottom section, as well as the one on the left. Can you help? Thank you!

  42. Ian H says

    Hi, love the theme, have installed it, but same issue, cant get the form to work, have got my API from mailchimp, and my list is set up with the same name as my MailChimp List ID but its not pulling in any user email addresses. Any idea how I can get this working? Be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    Ian

    • Eugene says

      Having the similar problem, we created the API, and obtained the List ID. but when we submit the email address, it doesn’t appear any subscriber in the mailchimp.

      • Devesh Sharma says

        Hey Eugene,

        Just released an update, please download the new version, and let me know if you’re still having issues.

  43. Sean Biehle says

    Hi, I’ve increased the size of the logo on my site by changing the background-size under #header .content span.logo, but this doesn’t seem to affect the size of the logo when viewing on a mobile device. How can I fix that?

  44. jqp says

    Am I missing something? there’s no download link other than to a page for the HTML. Clean simple design. I love it.

  45. Mike says

    As this is a launch theme, how can one work on the website at the same time as having this theme active.

  46. George Zygouris says

    Hey Guys! Awesome Job! Coming Soon Pages have never been easier to implement!
    Now, I have a question. I need to add an issuu document on the page and when I do it shows a blank “div” with the same dimentions but not the document itself. Is there anyway I could add the issuu document on the page? Thank you for your time!

  47. Natalie says

    Wonderful theme – is it not mobile responsive? i.e. do you have a mobile launch page that will show up on a smartphone?

  48. Anna says

    Hi there,

    Thanks for this theme, I love it. I just downloaded it today and am experiencing the same Mailchimp issue that a lot of others are having.

    Are you able to help?

    • Mariusz says

      Check your PHP version. If it is less than 5.4 then you should probably update it.
      You can also make a workaround:
      1. Open file: wp-content/themes/launch/assets/helpers/post-subscribe.php
      2. Go to line 252
      3. Change it to be “$result = $MailChimp->post(“lists/$mailchimp_list_id/members”, array(’email_address’ => $email, ‘status’ => ‘pending’ ));”

      This change is about changing new PHP 5.4 array syntax […] to old syntax array(…).
      This works for me 🙂
      Hope that helps.

  49. Skyy says

    This may be a dumb question, but how do I download this?
    I don’t see a button to download.
    Thanks!

    • Devesh Sharma says

      You need to enter your email address under “Sign in to download” box to download the theme.

  50. ben says

    downloaded this theme today. 15 march 2016 and the subscribe mail chimp is not working. can someone help me on this?

    Please help

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Ben,

      It could be because of the your hosting / PHP version, make sure that you’re not running on version 5.4 or less. If you’re still having issues, send me the login info (via our contact page), and I’ll take a look .

  51. Bontor says

    Hi, I cannot use Mailchimp plugin eventhough I entered Mailchimp API key and List ID. When I check console, I see “XMLHttpRequest cannot load http:///wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=add_mailchimp. No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ” is therefore not allowed access”

    How can I fix this? A similar problem happened with fonts – the domain name site cannot display ionicons corrently. I fixed this by changing style.css to use CDN ionicon files instead of the local files.

  53. PIA says

    I’m another one who can’t get mail chimp to work!

    API Key & List ID inserted, but get the “X” when email address entered and the tick clicked.

    Any ideas? Downloaded two days ago, so am assuming it is the latest version.

  54. Angelo says

    Same here sadly. Can’t get mail chimp to work!

    API Key & List ID inserted, but get the “X” when email address entered and the tick clicked.

    Any ideas?

    • Piotr says

      I hope there will be some changes soon – I noticed that on demo version from WP Kube it’s woking again.

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Angelo,

      I’m going to take a closer look at the theme to see what’s causing the issue. And will probably release an update in next few days.

      • Matt Brown says

        HI Devesh,

        Great theme! I seem to be having the same issue. Only downloaded the theme in the last couple of days so not sure what version it is. Will keep an eye out for an update 🙂

  55. Paola says

    Wonderful theme! Thank you for creating this.

    I have it fully functional and mail chimp is working, but I was wondering if there was a way to have a pop up come up after submitting the email so that I could let subscribers know to check their email for a subscription confirmation?

    Thank you in advance for your time and help.

  57. Mauricio says

    I’m having similar issues as mentioned by other users here. The e-mail form doesn’t seem to work – whenever an email address is input, nothing happens. This seems to be a very faulty design – can you please explain what can be done to fix this?

  58. Mauricio says

    It seems multiple people are experiencing the same problem (regarding the Mailchimp e-mail sign-up) where an X pops up every time an e-mail is entered. It’s been multiple weeks now and the designer still hasn’t responded?

    Can we please get an update?

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Mauricio,

      Sorry for the late reply, we’ll be releasing an update within next 3-4 days.

      We’re also working on a plugin version, which should be ready within a week and a half.

  60. Jeremey says

    I too seem to be having issues with MailChimp. I get the green tick however it doesn’t actually add them to my MailChimp list.

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Jeremey,

      We’re on it. Give me us a few days and we’ll release the fix.

      We’re also working on a plugin version, which should be ready within a week and a half. That would allow for maintenance mode option + better integration with MailChimp.

        • Devesh Sharma says

          Hey Jeremy,

          Thanks to you for the awesome support :).

          We have fixed the bug and updated the download link. The theme should work fine now. And if you’re still having any issues, please let me know.

          Cheers,
          Dev

    • Dev says

      Hey Mike,

      We have released an updated version, please download the theme again from above link.

  62. Anne-Marie says

    Hi,

    I’m working on building my first site. I set up the Launch Theme and I really like it. The MailChimp integration seems to be working fine. I appreciate that you are offering this theme without charge.

    Unfortunately it seems that either I misunderstood how the theme was to be used or there is some setting in the theme or in WordPress that I am not aware of. I thought that I would be able to work on my site in the background — without anyone else being able to see the work in progress — while the Launch coming soon page was up and running for any site visitors to see. However, it seems that either the Launch theme can be active or the theme that I am using to build the site can be active So I am not able to have the Launch theme representing my site while I am building the site behind closed doors, so to speak.

    Could you please clarify?

    Thanks!!!

    • Dev says

      Hey Anne,

      Glad I could be of help.

      Unfortunately, Launch is a WordPress theme, meaning you cannot install any other WordPress theme when launch theme is activated. This also means, you cannot make any changes in background.

      We are working on the plugin version of this theme, which will have the maintenance mode option. We are hoping to release it by the end of this week.

        Hey Dev,

        Thanks so much for responding.

        That is great news that you will soon have a plugin version! I am looking forward to trying it out.

        BTW, I am actually called “Anne-Marie” rather than “Anne”. 🙂

        • Dev says

          Hey Anne-Marie :),

          No problem — we just released the plugin version, we’re fixing bugs / errors, but so far it seems to be working smoothly.

          You can download the plugin version from above.

    Hey guys!

    This is the most useful theme ever! I love it.

    I need help though, the mailchimp integration is … not working. Added the API and the list id… entered the email address on the sign up … it says it did what I wanted but it doesn’t record the data in mailchimp!

    Helpppppp!!!

    • Devesh Sharma says

      Hey Tane,

      We have released an updated version, please download the theme again — it should work fine now. If you’re still having any issues, let me know.

  64. Erika says

    Hello!

    I just installed the plugin version today and was able to get it all customized and can preview it while customizing it, but when I go view my page it is still showing the theme that is installed, rather than the launch page that I made.

    How do I fix this?

    Thank you!

    • Dev says

      Hey Erika,

      It is still showing that page, because you are logged in. If you log out from your dashboard area, you should be able to see the coming soon page.

  65. Sarah says

    Hi guys,
    Great theme – downloaded the plugin so I can work on my website in the meantime. However, it is like the theme is too big for my computer 🙂 I can barely see the progress bar and the logo is just out.. Im a complete newbie, so any help is appreciated!

  66. Vanesssa says

    Looks great, but I have an issue… After downloading and uploading to my site. It wont” Theme won’t be installed for ‘css.stylesheet is missing’ according to wp.
    Please help!

    • Dev says

      Hey Vanesssa,

      We should probably update the post to reflect that Launch theme is now a plugin. So you will have to install it like you add any other WordPress plugin, go to Dashboard > Plugins > Add new.

      If you still have any issues, please let me know.

  67. Thomas says

    Hi,
    So I downloaded the folder but I can’t seem to be able to compress the files so that it will unpack properly in wordpress…
    Hope that someone can help…

    • Dev says

      Thomas,

      You need to install the plugin to Dashboard > Plugins > Add new. Alternatively, you can install the plugin directly from WordPress, by searching for “Fancy Coming Soon”.

      Hope that helps.

    Hi,

    I just installed your beautiful theme!

    Unfortunately, I am unable to make the mailchimp part work. I added a URL from one of my list but all inscription end up on your newsletter (fancythemes).

    How do I make it work?

    Thanks a lot!

  69. Howard Zumbrunnen says

    I really like this theme and I installed the latest plug in.

    Everytime I try and subscribe onto the site the confirmation email goes to FancyThemes. I entered in my URL from MailChimp under > Lists > General Forms as well.

  70. Jeff says

    Hi guys, Thank you so much for this theme! Quick question: I’d like to add a page to the site for blog posts, but this theme turns every existing page on the site into the homepage. Is there an easy way to make it so I can also have blog posts using this theme, or does that defeat the purpose of the simplicity of this theme? Thanks! No worries if no!

  71. Tim says

    I’m „Unable to subscribe. The list ID is not specified.“
    Not able to download your pretty “soon to come” theme;(

  72. Jassy says

    I have almost finished my launch page which is extremely easy to use- thanks guys- however in addition to the twitter and facebook logos how do i add instagram and pinterest to this please asboth of these are more relevant to my site. thanks.

  73. Matthew says

    I had some problems getting the correct URL for mailchimp when following the link as instructed. After a lot of time playing around I managed to get it working … sharing just in case someone else has my same issue.
    The instructions on the suggested link (http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/share-your-signup-form) pointed to Mailchimp > [ select list ] > Signup forms > General forms > Sign up form URL … that did work for me (or possibly I didn’t understand them?)

    To get my working URL I had to go to Mailchimp > [ select list ] > Signup forms > Embedded forms… then go through the code given in the box titled “Copy/paste onto your site” and copy the form action. Looks something like the below, the part in ” “.

    <form action="//listname.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=cf3fef68dfc1f4c6e20e86718&id=230d4ffed7"

    hope that helps
    Matt

    • Bash says

      Hey Matthew, thanks for your advise. Where do I insert the form action code within the theme? Thanks!

  74. Bklyn says

    Was not able to download by signing into one of the 3 social media links. When entering email manually I received this message [subscribe]: Invalid MailChimp List ID: – empty -”

    Great design, and would really like to use.

    • Dev says

      Everything is fixed — you should be able to download the theme now, Bklyn.

      Let me know if you are still having any issue.

  75. Elena Rapisardi says

    Hi, I can not download the theme.
    “Unable to subscribe. The list ID is not specified.”

    Thanks for help

  76. Elena Rapisardi says

    Hi,
    I tried to download with Google but I get the following error

    401. That’s an error.
    Error: invalid_client
    The OAuth client was not found.

  77. Matthew says

    Thanks for the great theme!
    Is it possible to disable to double opt / confirmation email from mailchimp?

    thanks!

  78. Caryn says

    i cant get the mail chimp to work, i added my API and List ID, can anyone help me please? Im using launch for 2 websites so really need this working.

  79. Alex says

    Great theme! I can’t seem to be able to supress the bloginfo portion that is displayed next to my chosen logo in the header area… here’s a screenshot,… –> http://screenpresso.com/=X3iEg

    Or you can see it live at http://fit.farm

    Any thoughts on how to do this? I jumped into the header.php file and was trying different things (mainly leaving the portion of the code OUT, but when I did this it wiped out the header completely and would not even display the logo anymore… :/)

    Anyway, cool theme. Really well done. Any help on this last bit would be appreciated… thnx sir!

  80. Amanda says

    Hi,

    I have added the theme, well i installed the plugin and that worked and I can see the and edit the theme under the customization of the theme I have, however when I look at the site it shows the basic theme and not the pretty page I have made.

    Am I missing a simple step?

    Thanks!

    • Dev says

      Hey Amanda,

      You won’t the see coming soon page, until you logout for your site. It is designed that way, so you can customize the site, while your users will see a coming soon page.
