Hi, The theme is very good, congratulations. I would like to know how to change the word “ALL” to “TODAS” in the filter of the portfolio. Thank you very much!

elemis

Hi,

You can translate the theme by using the .po files. You can find instructions on translating the theme in the help documentation under title “Translating the theme”.

I’ve done what I’ve said it does not work.

Ok, I’ve solved it! The problem is that the extension of the files had to be .mo

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the recommendation on using the video/help. I’ve setup my portfolio showcase. I do have a question though: How do you crop the thumbnail for the portfolio showcase to only show a portion of the full image?

elemis

Hi,

Thumbnails of the portfolio posts are the featured images. So any image you set as the Featured Image will be the thumbnail. If you don’t like the cropped version of your images you can create your own thumbnail with size 225×170px and set this image as the featured image. This is shown in the “portfolio with showcase” screencast as well: http://vimeo.com/35961291

Hi. I’m trying to get some clarification on a couple things about this theme. So there is no pagination? Does it have infinite scrolling built in? I’m hoping to use this for a site with hundreds of portfolio items and can’t have them load all at once on 1 page.

Is there a way to add additional classifications, and add a search box to the homepage?

Thanks.

elemis

Hi,

Unfortunately pagination is not available. It is not possible to add pagination to such a showcase with filter. To be honest, we don’t recommend using this showcase for hundreds of portfolio items.

Hi,

The Theme is great, but I recognized, that the initail load of the website now gets really slow, because the theme preloads all used images.

I have 9 portfolio items, 3 of them have +- 20 pictures, the rest only 3-4.

Is there a way to speed it up?

Hi,

We cannot access your website at the moment. So we cannot test the loading time.

Default-user

how is it you cant access the website? when i click the link, it’s working.

elemis

Hi,

Seems there is a problem with the hosting. Please check the screencast: http://www.screenr.com/7NG8 We tried to access the website through two different computers with different browsers.

Hi

Great theme: very well documented and easy to use. I do have one small question: I am trying to use the showcase portfolio template to display pictures of people with their bios. How can I change the fact that when you click on the pictures, the ration between the slider and the text on the right is something like 70-30% when I want 30-70% (for picture of person left and larger space for text with bio). Thx C

elemis

Hi,

The widths of those sections can be changed with CSS by inspecting with Firebug. This requires a serious CSS customization. You need to have a CSS knowledge to do it or you can hire a web developer.

Can’t I just remove the slider so that when you click on the showcase image only the text appears?

elemis

Yes you can remove the slider from the php file and then use the following code to make the text area full width. Paste it into the Custom CSS field in the theme options panel to overwrite the existing CSS setting:

.content {
    float: none;
    width: 100%;
}

Just to make sure: I can remove the slider in the showcase template without removing the full slider on the homepage? Or will deleting it for one purpose also delete it for the others (sorry for being a n00b)

elemis

Hi,

Deleting the slider in template-portfolio-showcase.php won’t have an effect on the homepage slider.

Hi there,

I purchased this theme a few days ago and so far its great. However I have a very limited coding knowledge and would like to make some simple customisations. What email can I get you on?

elemis

Hi,

What kind of customization do you have in mind?

Nice theme and I bought it today.

No picture or video appears when I input them as described in your tutorial. Kindly assist. I am using the latest Wordpress 3.4 Regards

elemis

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up. The issue seems to be related to Wordpress 3.4 because there was no such problem before. We contacted our web developer to look into this and we will get back to you as soon as we hear something.

Default-user

I have emailed the work around.

Hi,

We’ve updated the theme. Please download the latest version of the theme from Downloads page.

Great news. Can I be a pain and ask from where to where I should delete the slider in the template-portfolio-showcase.php ? I deleted pieces of code but that crashes my site as a consequence…

elemis

Hi,

You should only delete line 227 in template-portfolio-showcase.php

<?php echo dc_portfolio_slider($post->ID); ?>

Hi, using the boxes feature, I’m currently displaying posts using the “popular” shortcode. I’d like this to display posts based on chronological order (most recent at top of box), but attempting a “recent” shortcode, it did not work.

Also, when updating the individual post, it doesn’t update the excerpts within the box, but does update on the News page.

I would greatly appreciate assistance with this. I’m sure it’s nothing too difficult.

The site can be viewed here: http://www.intergro.com/ The box in question is “Recent News”.

Thank you kindly, Chris

elemis

Hi,

Unfortunately “Recent” shortcode is not available by default. If you can give us permission to your wordpress admin we can try to add this shortcode. You can send the credentials to us via the contact form on our profile page.

The “Recent News” excerpts seem to be correct at the moment. Are you still having trouble seeing the changes? Do you have a Cache plugin?

Any easy way to upgrade to the latest version?

elemis

Hi,

You need to download the latest version of the theme from Downloads page, rename the theme file as “alphine2.zip” for example then install and activate.

Default-user

Thanks for the reply but i think i didnt explain it right. Actually i have made significant changes to CSS and some php files. I want to preservee those changes while upgrading. Any easy way for that?

elemis

Hi,

Here is the changelog of Alphine: http://elemisdesign.com/changelogs/alphinewp.txt Please check and update necessary files which we modified in your theme.

Hello we are running your theme still on 1.0.2 and we are afraid to upgrade :-) is there a option to read out and to place the image alt text as overlay over the sliderpic at the portfolio? It would save a lot of work.

http://neu.edelweiss-porzellan.de

Thanks

elemis

Hi,

Unfortunately such an option is not available.

Default-user

Is that an modified Jquery? I remember there there was some options to apply picture overlays.

Can you recommend a way where we easily can display the alt title on the picture?

Thanks a lot for replying

Holm

elemis

Hi,

Slider script is slides.js which can be found here: http://slidesjs.com It seems possible to add captions by modifying the script.

Default-user

ok well its possible to change the slider.js against other slider libaries like nivo slider or so on because they have such a feature.

Best regards

Holm

Default-user

Hi again,

this is funny. At the class=”overlay_open” the alt title geht displayed. At the sub slider class=”slider_control” not. How can I change that? That would be ok to get displayed by a mouse over.

Thanks for helping

Holm

elemis

Sorry but we couldn’t understand what you mean?

Default-user

I meant that the css class which is used in at the top pictures vor the portfolio can read the alt notifications. Then when i go to the slider there is no alt title anymore to be found. how can I change that. that i get the the alt title to be shown at the slider. i talk about the output at the the source code.

take a look pls at: http://neu.edelweiss-porzellan.de/#ostern for exp. and switch the to the displayed source code then. There you can see it.

class=”overlay open” does show the alt=”title” class=”slides_control” does show only empty alt=”“

elemis

Hi,

So you would like the slider image alt’s to pull the post title? If so please open functions/alphine-portfolio.php and go to line 302 and change the line with the following:

$out .= '<img src="'.$url.'" alt="'.get_the_title($id).'" />';

Then the alt attribute will display post title.

Hi there

Is there a limit on the number of slides that are displayed in the large slider setting? I included 5 slides between the [slider] brackets but only 3 display on my home page (http://2012.euhackathon.eu )... Thx in advance C

elemis

Hi,

Do you use the shortcode generator to create the slider?

Sorry: ignore that: I had initially just adapted the first version directly in the body of the code. Re-did full shortcode just now and solved it. Sorry about that!

Hey,

I’m trying to make one Box at the bottom of my homepage to be the full width – it’s going to be an image slider so I can showcase my clients. Is there a way to do this? I want to leave the other boxes underneath it stay in the two column layout.

Thanks,

Greg

elemis

Hi,

Unfortunately such an option doesn’t exist by default but you can make it possible with PHP and CSS customization.

Template looks great and I’m thinking of purchasing it. I’m wondering what formatting is available for the blog posts. All of the posts in your demo blog follow the same format: image up top, comments, etc, then body. Can I have a blog post w/o a header image? In the body can you include left/right aligned images, block quotes or other formatting? I see a couple of those features in the Styles>ButtonsBoxesImages tab. Those all available for blog posts?

elemis

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Alphine. You don’t have to set featured images for blog posts. You can use all the styling elements shown in the pages under the “Style” menu item which includes left/right aligned images, blockquotes etc.
