• Hello
    Apart from the inaccessibility of Travelify navigation menu, I have a few other problems with Travelify. I mention these problems, because I like Travelify very much and I don’t like to switch to another theme. I appreciate if you addresse these problems in later versions.

    1- In theme settings, I have the following options for showing logo and description:
    logo only
    description only
    None

    But I don’t have any option for showing both. I want to show both, because both of them are very important to me.

    2- In theme settings, I have the following options for showing sidebars (I don’t remember the exact option names):
    1- Show left sidebar
    2- Show right sidebar
    3- None

    But I don’t have any option for showing both left and right sidebars at a time. Both of them are important to me. I would like to show both of them.

    3- Your rtl.css file lacks the following 3 lines. Every time I upgrade Travelify to a new version, I have to add these lines manually to rtl.css:
    p {
    text-align:justify;
    }

    That is because without those lines, the Persian text is shown in very simple right-to-left form that is ugly. The lines are not justified at all. This is true about all other rtl languages such as Arabic too. In fact, I add the following 4 lines:
    p {
    text-align:justify;
    font-family:Tahoma;
    }

    Tahoma is a Persian font that is available by default in Windows OS. It is the default font for most of Persian websites.

    4- This theme uses Google Fonts, and those fonts make the website significantly slow when loading the first page. Connecting to external websites causes a big delay in most of cases. Everytime I go to
    themes/travelify/library/functions/functions.php
    and comment out the two lines that use Google fonts. The first page load time has been reduced from 6 seconds to 1 second this way. Of course, sighted persons can use the page before it is fully loaded, but blind users can’t. JAWS (screen reader) reads the page only after it will be fully loaded.

    5- The users of E72 and C5 Nokia mobiles (Symbian OS) say the links of Travelify theme do not work in their browsers. I have tested the links in Nokia 6120 (Symbian OS), and the links were OK, but several users of E72 and C5 insist that the links don’t work in their mobiles.

    6- This theme is incompatible with Post-views plugin. It does not show the number of post views. I think this is very crucial for your theme. Every time I update your theme, I have to add the following line:
    if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) {

    to
    Themes> travelify> library> structure/content-extensions.php

    7-If I adjust the theme not to show the Navigation menu, it shows the pages list. This makes the website ugly. I don’t have any choice for showing neither navigation menu nor the pages list.(I already explained that the navigation menu of Travelify is inaccessible for the blind).

    These were my main problems with Travelify, but I usually do a few other tweaks as well. Those things are not problems, but they improve the theme design based on my personal attitude and experience. I don’t discuss those things now, but I can elaborate them if needed.

    Thanks In Advance For Your Efforts In Improving The Theme
