 * Is it possible to add custom gradients to Mesmerize? I love the option to overlay
   a gradient but I’d like to edit the colors. Where can this be done? Is there 
   a file location for them?
 * I’m comfortable messing with code, I’d just love to know where to look.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
    This stylesheet has css for producing gradients: \wp-content\plugins\mesmerize-
   companion\theme-data\mesmerize\assets\css
 * Also this one:
    \wp-content\themes\mesmerize\assets\css
 * Hope this helps

 * That does help. Found the files no problem. However, none of the MANY gradients
   in the files show up in the customizer. Is that something that’s a pro-only feature?
   I can’t even find where the limited (2 gradient) list comes from.

 * Colin,
 * I only see 2 – plum plate, red salvation. This is true on both the install of
   Mesmerize I have on my hosting account’s WordPress site, and the test drive I
   tried through Mesmerize demo site.

 * Hi
    If you go to wp-content\themes\mesmerize\inc\theme-options.php then go to
   line 266 and you can add the other gradients.
 * You will need to refer to the gradient stylesheet for the other colours.
 *     ```
       function mesmerize_get_gradients_classes()
       {
           return apply_filters("mesmerize_webgradients_list", array(
               "plum_plate",
               "ripe_malinka",
               "new_life",
               "sunny_morning",
               "red_salvation",
               "night_fade",
               "young_passion",
           ));
       }
       ```
   
 * I just added the two more as shown above, don’t forget to save the file.

 * That’s awesome, and would be really simple, if it worked for me – but my list
   included the full (original) list of 5 gradients, and I even added the two others,
   just to see, but still see only the two from before. Very curious.

 * Hi
    My version is the free one as well and I see all 5 gradients plus the 2 others
   I added.
 * Have you got the Mesmerize Companion installed and activated? I’ll install it
   again and see what I get from a fresh install.

 * I even tried a few different browsers on my computer (a mac) and then from a 
   PC, still only two gradients available.

 * Hi
    Just installed Mesmerize on Localhost and I get the 5 gradients. I think 
   I had 2 gradients originally as well but now I have the full 5.
 * The theme got updated the other week, did you update it?
 * I am also using a Child theme so I don’t lose anything when a update is available.
   I will have to see if I can run the theme-options from the child theme folder.
 * **Edit:** No it doesn’t work under a child theme so must remember to copy the
   gradients back over once updated.

 * I am using a child theme. Mesmerize is version 1.2 on my install. No notifications
   regarding update. I have another host account I can install on and see if there’s
   any difference. I’ll report back when it’s finished.

 * Hi
    What version of Mesmerize Companion plugin have you got? Mine’s 1.2.6
 * Have you got the link to your website?

 * plugin is the same version – 1.2.6
 * The website is still under development and doesn’t have any active uses of the
   gradients since none of the colors suited where I was going.
 * This isn’t a dealbreaker in my choice of theme but sure is frustrating and quite
   the mystery…
