Hi,
Portfolio section: can i insert different photos for each icon in the portfolio ? (photo a,b,c,d for the first icon and photo e,f,g,h for the secon icon) ?
Portfolio page: example http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/in-vino-veritas/ here can i insert horizontal and vertical images ? or are cut in the same format ?
Thank you very much !
Thumbs you can see on portfolio page are featured images for each post (each item is post)
The best practice is to crop images before you upload them to the server. There is “twin slides” options if you have portrait images in the slider : http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/bonis-nocet-qui-malis-parcit/
If you don’t use this option, the result is : http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/audentes-deus-ipse-iuvat/
Hello Brankic, i have three hiccups with BigBang. Perhaps you could clarify or adress this in a future patch. 1. On a typical mobile device (tested on two android smatphones) the imageviewer-popup for images will first show the image in a VERY small window which is useless and when you press the zoom button, the image will be so large that it overflows the screen edges – again beeing useless. It would be great if the image would “fit-to-screen” on small devides. 2. When showing a Portfolio-item, the black Button to jump to the top-category works fine, but the > and < buttons they don’t go to any next or previous item in any logical order – i cannot find out how it works. 3. Editing a blogitem, page or portfolio it will open two different media-browsers – one sort of mediabrowser for the post-images (which is the better one) and a different mediabrowser for the extra images. Also the media-browser dialog to select an image for the extra images will not transfer the caption, descriptopn and url-entries into the extra-image-widgets and viceversa.
If you’d like to help me, its on: www.koelnerverlagsagentur.de/
kind regards, Stephan Möbius
Hi Stephan,
1. It’s fixed in latest BigBangWP update.
2. It’s not logical for most user, but this is how WP works : http://codex.wordpress.org/Next_and_Previous_Links
3. Sorry, but in slider you can show only data you insert into Extra images fields. I have my reasons why I did it (if you want to use same image in more than one slider with different captions)
^^ Please ignore the above. I have found the answer.
However, how do you handle images in a portfolio not “fitting” correctly in the thumbnail dimensions? Can you set an alternate “cropped” image? Wordpress in built does not work.
You can define height parameter in portfolio shortcode.
I can’t seem to create a portfolio that display all categories. How do I do this?
Do you have category which is parent for all categories? You have to choose this parent category in portfolio shortcode pop-up window…
Which file do I need to edit to remove the footer entirely?
Hi,
You can edit footer.php or you can add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
#footer {display:none;}
I think this might be a nice theme. I am not sure though as I use Safari (as well as 15% of all web users ) and seems to have an issue with Safari in the demo. Menu bar is stuck to the right of the screen and the content is stuck to the left. Is this just an issue with the demo or is this a problem with the theme?
Hi,
This is the issue on the the client side of Safari browser. Don’t know exactly what’s the problem, but users with the same problem solved this issue themselves. I can’t replicate this issue on none of my computers.
Hi Brankic, I have two questions: 1. iconboxes: is it possible to have one box (in a row of 4) with a specific background color? 2. my blog page has the title of my wordpress site on it (see http://rogerklaassen.com/wordpress/?page_id=40). I want the title to be ‘Mijn blog’ but I can not find a possibility to change it. Maybe I amde the blog page the wrong way, I don’t know. Regards, Roger
Hi Roger,
It’s possible, but with some Extra jQuery script inserted into Extra JavaScript in Brankic Panel. Since I’m providing support these days over the phone, it’s very hard for me to test that code. Someone with basic jQuery skills can help you with this, or you can hire freelancer for this “less than a hour” job.
Hi, I´m having some problems with the portfolio category filter. It doesn’t display any items till I click “all” button.
http://chimichurriestudio.com/?page_id=1183Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry, but I can’t open the URL you’ve provided 
Hi, I am having an odd problem. I am trying to put a graphic on a page, to make a button to link to an external URL. A pretty basic process normally, I just add an URL in the edit image dialog box rather than a file or page link. But every time I try this, it’s opening a lightbox when you click on the button. Is there a way to disable the lightbox in this case? I am assuming it’s something theme related since I have never had this happen before.
Hi,
Yes, it’s a theme related. May I see the URL of that page so I could send you Extra javaScript code…
The site is here: http://darlenehassall.com/ but I had to take the icons off the page because of how they weren’t working. In the contact page, I had added buttons for Facebook and Twitter. They were the ones having the lightbox issue. I couldn’t leave them live like that though.
I may be missing something in the documentation, but is there a shortcode for the social icons at all? This would be a good workaround for that I am trying to achieve as well.
Yes, there is a shortcode for a social icons. Click on Brankic Shortcode button and you’ll find it.
Do you have this in Extra JavaScript in Brankic Panel
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".content-wrapper img").parent("a").attr("data-rel", "prettyPhoto[]");
});
Remove it (it’s a lightbox code)
HI! I’ve been looking for some shortcode to include “latest blog posts” on the “home” page, just like you show you can do with “latest work” – Is this possible? Or do I have to code it?
Hi,
It’s a portfolio shortcode…
There’s no way to make it work to show “latest” posts from the blog? //D
You can show any category you want with portfolio shortcode (both normal and portfolio)
Hi Brankic,
How can I set blog titles to be <h1> </h1> instead of <h2> </h2>?
Thanks
You should edit single.php, or if you want to change H tags on blog page you should edit index.php, page-blog-X.php (Appearance -> Editor)
Anyone know how to add extra sidebars? It comes with 4 (including default) but I need more. Please help. Thanks in advance.
It’s not that hard but you have to edit theme core files. I’m answering your question from my phone and I think you should edit includes/bra_custom_fields.php and bra_theme_functions.php…
Hi,
I love your template.
I have purchased this template and I’m wondering if you could send me code or tell me how to set the portfolio items to be displayed as squares with ROUNDED corners. You currently have circles, triangles, and hexagon.
Thanks, -Sophie
Hi Sophie,
You have to edit images/mask-hexagon.png and change the shape to square with rounded corners.
I hope that makes sense…
Hi There,
Couple of questions for you:
1) Is it possible to remove the top border from the ‘bra_center_title’ shortcode feature?
2) On one of my pages (http://newtwistcreative.com/services-2/) I’m using the ‘bra_icon_boxes_container’ to link to various versions of that same page. Is there a way to keep each icon/button highlighted when the user is on the page they’ve selected? For example, if they click on the ‘Branding’ section, I’d like them to go to that specific page (as it currently works) but I’d like the ‘Branding icon to stay highlighted green, like how it works in the top menu. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Paul!
Hi Paul,
There is no top border for centered title shortcode, only bottom border. You can hide this border with this Extra CSS (in Brankic Panel)
.section-title {
border-bottom: none;
}
You can’t highlight these icon box without some extra JavaScript code. You should try to hire freelancer for that (less than 1hr job)
How do I update the contact page with a new address and map location? Thanks,
Brankic Panel -> Contact page
Whats the optimum file size / px dimensions for images in the portfolio section?
Hi,
The same as on our Live preview (depending of layout you’re using)
In Firefox there is add-on MeasureIt – very helpful when you want to measure something on the screen…
Hi, I’m having a problem creating my Portfolio. I followed your directions on creating categories and subcategories, but every time I put in the Portfolio Shortcode on my Page, the drop down list only gives me these options: “Portfolio type” and “Blog type” which are not categories I even created. How do I get my parent categories to show up in the Portfolio shortcode correctly?
Hi,
Do you have some type warning in the top of your admin area about changing file permission? Portfolio Type and Blog Type are only captions – below these should be listed Portfolio categories and normal (blog) categories…
I managed to get it to work by guessing the page ID. I plugged that it into the short code, and it worked without me having to select it from the drop-down list, so it’s ok.
Hello, how do I add the extra icons to the icons boxes?
It’s explained in the help file.
(You have to FTP upload new icons to wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/images/icons)
How do I add recent post with thumbnails on my static welcome page?
You can use portfolio shortcode.
Hi – I’ve tried uploading my portfolio and it’s just displaying as regular blog posts – with the date, posted by, etc. I feel like I’ve followed your instructions but obviously I’m missing something??
Hi,
Please try to use default permalink settings. Probably you have the same slug for portfolio page and blog category. If it’s working as it should with default permalink structure (the ugly one) try to change your slugs…
