Great theme. Just a bit confused how you handle Feature Images.

My current blog uses feature images as main picture, followed by more in the post. Do I have to change all that?

ThemeBeans

Thanks!

In Aboard the portfolio featured images are exactly the same as most themes, but it’s a bit different in the blog view (and you do not need a featured image in the gallery formats as the slider will kick in for you). We decided to have the content speak for itself (in standard post view) where the featured image is not shown on the blog index page.

Instead we opted to have the default image in our demo, as a image inserted into the main content area in each post. All other post formats are the same.

Hi Theme Beans, Great looking theme, well done! Just a couple of questions before purchasing:

1) Is it possible to define which projects are displayed under ‘Related Work’ on a single portfolio post page?

2) Is it possible to use columns on the single portfolio page for text under the main image?

3) Is there a 404 page included?

Thanks :)

ThemeBeans

Thanks! To answer your questions:

1. Yes, you can define them by tags or categories (or opt out of showing them period).

2. Yes, you can use columns and any other shortcode available.

3. There is a 404 page included and the content is fully customizable via the theme options panel. Check out the 404 Page

waiting to see how it looks with sidebar…im ready to buy if it fits right

ThemeBeans

Alrighty, it’s in the works. We’re ironing out any kinks and making sure it’s just right for Aboard before we push the update. We will be uploading this week for sure, probably on Thursday at the earliest.

Thanks for your patience!

Ready to buy,however, I wanna sure that I can place the recent blog on the home page?

ThemeBeans

There is a recent blog post widget that can be placed in the footer widget areas. Check out the widget on this page.

We have a built in widget area generator which lets you choose which widgets show up on which page.

Hi, while I was testing the demo on an Android device, the scrolling stuck badly, do you know what is causing that?

ThemeBeans

Press the “x” to close the ThemeForest bar up top. It makes demos run wonky.

which page type do i need to select to create a stream of blog posts one after another?

also is there a way to embed a tumblr feed into a page? thanks

ThemeBeans

Hey, just go into your “Reading Settings” (Located under the Settings sidebar link in your WP Dashboard) and set any page that you’ve created (with a default template) as your “Posts Page”

Default-user

thanks for that!

another question is there a way of removing/hiding the ‘featured image’ from the top of an ‘image’ portfolio page?

ThemeBeans

I don’t quite follow the question Maund002?

Default-user

the featured image which is used for the thumbnail for a project is also at the top of the page for the project. i was wondering if it is possible to remove it from the project post

here’s what i’m talking about

http://flic.kr/p/dCEbxx
ThemeBeans

Can you send me a link to it, I’ll take a look at the processed code. If you upload a larger image it will fill that space but once I get your link I can send you the target code to lay in style.css

ThemeBeans

Would you prefer to have the main image above in that small image’s place? If you upload that image as the featured image, it will populate instead of the smaller one.

Default-user

no, i’m trying to remove the featured image from the top of the page completely not resize it. is there a way to do this?

thanks

ThemeBeans

Alrighty, just throw this css in your style.css:

.single-portfolio .entry-content .entry-content-media img { display: none; }

Default-user

thanks so much for that!

ThemeBeans

No problem Maund002 :)

Hi, it is a very nice theme. I like it, but I would use it primary as a blog with a small gallery. So I need featured images in blog posts and a navigation between posts (next and previous post).

Is it difficult to get this, or is it possible to add this as an option in the settings?

Regard,

r.

First, I really wanted to love this theme, the typography, the spacing, and the design are amazing. Simple yet effective. However, this theme can only support landscape format images in Portfolio, image and gallery format. Anything square or portrait format image will be cropped oddly. Before I purchased this theme, I was told it can be easily modified and I really trusted the team and bought it. But then when I brought up questions regarding this issue on the support forum, I was ignored. I don’t know the developer is willing to look into this issue or not, I don’t know it can be changed or not. Just not getting any support around this issue. I am a graphic designer and a photographer, a theme that only supports landscape images just not going to work for me. If you are a photographer and are considering to get this theme, probably is good idea to just move on or wait till the developer has modified the theme. Am I upset, I guess I am after spending $35 on a theme that doesn’t work for me, and not getting the support from the creator. Sometimes being ignored is worse than getting a no as an answer.

ThemeBeans

Sorry you feel that way Cheesim. The demo only features the images in a landscape layout. The image width is specified in single-portfolio.php on line 28. Vertical images can be used in the portfolio single posts as no height determined via the coding.

ThemeBeans

To modify the portfolio (home) page template you can set the image dimensions in page-portfolio.php on lines 18 and 19.

$thumb_w = ‘370’; //Define width $thumb_h = ‘220’; // Define height

You want these to be the same because the page will be wonky if the featured images displayed were different sizes/dimensions on the same page.

Hi,

I prefer to work on a child theme rather then on Aboard directly when editing files and I have just a small issue, not urgent at all, but it would be great if you could resolve it somehow in future releases.

The version of my child theme is 0.1.0 and Aboard thinks that it is a version of the parent theme and it prompts me to make an update to the current version which is 1.0.

But in general the theme is beautiful in its simplicity and I appreciate an unobtrusive icons in post editor (for forms and shortcodes).

Looking forward to see the next update with sidebars.

Thanks :)

ThemeBeans

Hey Clichy. We’re prepping a child theme example first thing tomorrow morning. We’ve taken a few days off for the holidays.

Merry Christmas by the way!

Good news Cichy, here’s the link to download the child theme base :)

I have one more thing. What would be the easiest way to have a stylesheet and functions.php of a child theme working? The regular way by importing the style.css of a parent theme in style.css of a child theme does not work. I understand that I have to enqueue my style in a header but functions.php won’t work either.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

regards, cichy

Hey,

very good work, looks nice and is easy to use. However, I noticed that the override of the colors using the theme options page does not work. They’re added as raw CSS to the header, but without effect. Any ideas? :)

Best, Philipp

ThemeBeans

Hey Phillipp, the header is hooked in with the editor. Are you referring to using the alternate dark style? Thanks!

Default-user

Hey,

I refer to the “Custom Colors” settings in the Theme Options. I set the “Theme Accent Color” to orange but it remains blue, same for the settings concerning header & footer. They appear in the output header CSS block, however.

ThemeBeans

Hey, could you send us a link. We’re unable to spring up that error.

Default-user

I’ve sent you an email, thanks in advance!

ThemeBeans

Hey, I found the problem. I’ve never seen this plugin before but the one called “Source Cleanup” does some odd work where it disables the custom colors, along with some other back-end functions.

The number one cause of things being wonky with themes is odd plugin behavior.

Hey Guys,

This is a great theme. I had one question. I was trying to create a portfolio posting and after I uploaded everything it gave me this error message…”Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/mobileap/public_html/wp-content/themes/Aboard/lib/functions/media.php on line 92”

Do you know what would cause this? Thanks in advance.

Mark

ThemeBeans

Mhmmm.. We haven’t seen that one before. Are you using any external plugins? If so, disable them for a second and try again. Maybe one of the plugins is interfering with the theme.

If that does’nt work, email us a set of login credentials and we’ll take a look. (hello at themebeans.com)

Default-user

Hey Guys,

No, I’m not using any external plugins. I’ve emailed you directly with the wordpress login info. If you need you anything else just let me know. Thanks in advance. Talk soon,

Mark.

ThemeBeans

Hey Williamshill, we’re looking for that email and can’t find it. Do you mind re-sending it?

Cheers!

PS: Happy New Year!

Hey Guys,

Just resent it. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi just wondering is it possible to show video or (video + image in 1 slider) as in the single portfolio page?

ThemeBeans

Hey there Tuxedoswing. You certainly can. Give us a few hours or so and I’ll have one set up in the demo for you.

Thanks!

Hello!

Great looking theme! I do have a question, related to an optional sidebar. You mentioned a few comments earlier, that this will be in development. Do you have any updates? Thanks.

Best regards. Tobias

ThemeBeans

Hey there Tobi_as! We had to nail a certain bug that we caught just as the update was getting approved, so we held it for a few days to get it just right.

As of now the update is almost there, should be approved within a day.

tobi_as

Thanks, great update! The sidebar is looking great. Before purchasing I do have some more questions.

How can I handle a blog logo? I mean, as the space is quite limited, it would be good to know the exact size to place a logo on the top left corner.

Or would it be possible to include a graphic before the headline starts, where in the demo currently is written ‘Ramblings’

Do you have plans for a further placement of the search box, in case I want to use the fullwidth view with no sidebar.

Many thanks! Best regards Tobias

ThemeBeans

Alrighty. :)

1. Logos can be added in like normal, though you may need to make the top a bit taller if you’re using a large logo. It’s a relatively small CSS modification really, not a problem.

2. It is possible to include a graphic above the page titles. You would need to write it into the header.php most likely.

3. I think we’re planning on figuring a decent way to display the search widget in the footer regions. It is currently only designed efficiently for use in the sidebar. Will most likely be in the next update.

tobi_as

Great, one more question. Can I have more than one portfolio page?

ThemeBeans

You can have them paginated out by limiting the number of shots per page. For instance, in the portfolio template you can select to have -1 posts on the portfolio (which will pull in every one of your portfolio posts) or you may opt to have a certain number, say 8, which will push posts 9+ to the next pages.

tobi_as

Many thanks. I just want to know, if I can have two or more portfolio pages. Let’s make an example like this: One portfolio with cars (Ford, Mercedes, BMW…) and another portfolio with motobikes (Harley Davidson, MV Agusta…). The question is, if we can have two or more completely independent portfolio sections.

ThemeBeans

You could have them split by category.

Hello ThemeBeans!

The update is now available, thank you for your hard work. Is there any changelog available anywhere though? The item details didn’t include it and it’s not in the newly downloaded .zip file either.

ThemeBeans

Hey, apologize for that. It was approved whilst we were all sleeping! #gofigure

Here’s a link to the changelog.

byousoku

Thank you for the changelog. It’s nice to see that there’s now an option to display the post author without the need to edit a file manually.

Here’s hoping you add the option to change the portfolio slugs in the next update. I think that would be another neat feature to have instead of manually changing the slug every version update.

ThemeBeans

We’ve been thinking of a way to make that possible, it’s definitely on the list.
