UPDATE: I installed everything again clean. No idea what the issue was but it seems to be working now. This thread can be closed.

I’m now seeing from the import prebuilt website dialogue that this is supposed to import homepages. So far when I do this, no matter what I do, zero home pages are imported.

I do get a “server configured incorrectly” error while doing this, although it says it will continue installing everything. The only thing that the system status says is not configured is the cache plugin (which I am waiting to install until after I get the demo imported).

EDIT: I installed the recommended caching plugin and it still says that it’s configured incorrectly. It says to check my upload folder permissions (which are normal) and to contact you.

I got this theme because I thought the installation of the demo would be the easy part. No idea why this is rocket science.

SOLVED. Can’t figure out how to delete this post.

Thank you for the response Simion. I will check on that.

One more question: I do not have the newest version of the theme installed– would that be a cause for issue? My understanding is that it wouldn’t because no API is necessary for Instagram followers to display.

I too am having issues with Instagram in my social media counter widget. All my other social networks are updating except Instagram. Any advice?

EDIT: After inspecting the link, it looks like it’s adding a “#” at the end of the link. Whereas Twitter shows up as intended (i.e. “http://twitter.com/MyUsername”), Instagram shows up like “http://instagram.com/MyUsername#”.

In the widget set up both are just the respective ID’s: MyUsername. But Instagram has a pound sign. Is that related to our issue here?

Thanks for getting back to me so quick!

How come the sticky sidebar works when it’s the default sidebar as opposed to a widgetised sidebar block (with Visual Composer deactivated).

I really don’t want to have the Visual Composer plugin active. I normally just have the Shim on and everything has been fine. Why is the sticky sidebar the one thing that needs it even with the Shim / how can I get around this?

Thanks!
