 * Thank you for your help but sadly the developer got detailed -for political injustice
   reasons which is common in Egypt-
    so i have no contact with him and I’m a designer
   with no programming experience so cant understand what exactly is the problem
   as he showed me the theme working good -back in Dec 2015- before he was detained

 * Holly Cow!!!
 * Well, in this case, is better you contract a developer to take a look at this
   for you.
 * As I research, the problem seems to be not difficult to solve…
 * Good Luck!
