Parlament innovates. There?s no other political theme out there exposing your candidate the way this theme does. We do it with HTML5 niftiness, CSS3 transitions and animations, and last but not least jQuery wizardry to give the end user the best possible web experience one can get using your website. You?ll make a lasting impression on your electors, if you?re going to use the right theme for it – Parlament.
How Parlament helps your candidate win the race? By providing support for the following plugins:
WPML – multilingual plugin, which enables you to translate your website into several other languages
The Events Calendar & The Events Calendar Pro ? organize your candidate?s events and gather masses of people using a simple yet efficient event calendar and management system
Aqua Page Builder ? create killer web pages just by using a simple technique which you have already been using all day on the web: Drag and drop. I?ve also extended the functionality of the Aqua Page Builder with no less than 18 versatile custom blocks, to help you stand out ahead of the competition.
Meta Box ? Easily control every aspect of the theme by using meta boxes and more.
Parlament has valid HTML5 code, is W3C compliant and makes no use of bloated option panels. We?re using the WordPress Theme Customizer, which was introduced in WordPress 3.4, and it is the place where every single change can be seen right away. Your eyes won?t believe it how easy it is to change things in Parlament. Parallax effects, CSS3 transitions and animations are omnipresent in the design of the theme, which make the experience that much different and enjoyable.
Did I say the Parlament theme is fast? It is crazy fast! You might already know that Google ranks fast websites higher than slower ones. This theme scores 94/100, out of the box, without any optimization or cache plugins. The Parlament political theme has also been crafted with WordPress standards in mind. We followed the WordPress standards and best practices, even before ThemeForest implemented their own guidelines!
This theme is one of the few themes on this market that follows the WordPress mantra and is compatible with all the marketplace requirements. The theme also comes packed with a stellar documentation, which covers installation, configuration and explanation for each feature of the theme, which will most probably cover all your questions regarding the theme.
A big thank you for the icon pack “Batch” goes to Adam Whitcroft. Also special thanks to Modern Tribe team, WPML team, Rogie (creator of View.js).

Parlament: Political WordPress Theme – Introduction
Parlament is a political WordPress theme which features a highly interactive and retina-ready design, fully responsive implementation and a focus on user experience, usability and performance. The theme also features a flexible design, top notch support and I think it?s safe to say that is one of the easiest and most intuitive to use political themes on the market right now.Please do not forget to rate the theme:

A deeper look into Parlament
Parlament was built using the WordPress best practices and based on all of my working experience, I think once again I?ve done it! I?ve crafted an intuitive, easy, user friendly and future proof political WordPress theme. The usability part and user experience were never neglected during the thought process and implementation of the theme. Before I thought what goes into it, I thought what you?ll get out of it. Parlament also features a working donation form optimized for high conversion rates which works beautifully with PayPal! When I designed Parlament, I started by thinking about its purpose. My purpose was to get your candidate noticed and to help him gain the winning spot.How Parlament helps your candidate win the race? By providing support for the following plugins:

How to remove the shopping cart icon?
ReplyDeleteIf I deactivate woocommerce, then social icons disappear!
How to fox that?
Hi there kily77,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry for the disappointment I’ve brought you with my services.
The criticism you provided was somehow constructive, but remember there are still people on the other side of the communication channel, and we also have feelings.
Removing the shopping cart functionality doesn’t affect in any single way the functionality of the social icons.
I wish that you have a good day and more luck with other authors, since I really disappointed you and I know it. I apologize for that.
Paul
Please check my support ticket!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Frankie,
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry for not responding in time, but the ThemeForest comments is not something that I check regularly, because I have a dedicated platform setup for questions and support on http://icypixels.com/support/
I guess I should start checking more often, so I will avoid situations like this.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
Paul
Him quick question, we purchased this theme because of the events calendar you have almost at bottom of the example, the one with the tabs, we can’t find a way to make this in our site using your as example, wondering if there’s a way for you to explain us how to achieve that same effect? Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteAlso would like to know how to hide the donate button on top.
ReplyDeleteHey, when using full width slider I keep havin this strange gap between my slider and the header ( I would say 15 px around ). I use 1920X1000 px image. This gap also appear on mobile. Other pages with static hero image + title are good. Confused.

ReplyDeleteHi. I’ve used your support form last month. Can you take a look at your email. Thanks
ReplyDeletePlease respond to my support tickets, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi IcyPixels – have a big site using your theme. I hope you will update soon, to be compatible with WP 4.4. Your change log shows last update was April 2015, and compatible only up to WP 4.1. Please, give your 1,111 purchasers an update soon….? I am afraid to update my WP framework, until you have a compatible theme. Hope everything is okay at your end…..
ReplyDeleteHi ideahost,
ReplyDeleteThe theme can be freely upgraded in the future to whatever next version of WordPress comes.
Hey, could it be possible to update to WP 4.4 ?! I lost all my content because of AquaPageBuilder and his Visual Editor !!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can update to WP 4.4 without any issues.
ReplyDeleteMaps on tribe-events pages no longer work…. can you fix please? Thank you, great theme otherwise
ReplyDeleteHi ideahost,
ReplyDeleteI will look into fixing this as soon as possible Thank you for reporting it!
Paul

I was thinking of using this theme, but i am concerned that appears to be little to no activity on it for about a year, even though the comments say that support would be resuming a month ago and new features would be added this month. Can i get any new information? Is development/support still active on this theme?
ReplyDeleteHi. I need some help. I am installed and most things are working well but I have some issues.
ReplyDelete1. I cannot get the shop set up. I am unable to get the shop page button to appear on the top left hand side with the other page buttons. I can edit the shop page either.
2. I am unable to set up the events page. Although there is a Events page button, when I hit it, it directs me to a demo page with a totally different url from my own.
Can you help please?
Hi Paul, I’m trying to update the book icon and you have already answer to the question “Changing the book icon or calendar icon would imply you would know your way around in CSS. All you would need is to change the following classes:” but never mention where to choose from . I have tried fontawesome codes and they don’t work. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with the google maps.
Is it possible that I have to enter a Google API key somewhere? If so, I can not find anywhere in any place.
Here you can see the problem: http://www.bnp-fraktion.de/kontakt/
I Hope for an fast answer.
Thanks very much!
King regards,
Tammy
I installed the Plugin “Retro Add Google Maps API KEY”. Now it works, but I would still be happy about an answer as it would otherwise work
