Dandelion - Powerful Elegant WordPress Theme

Hi,

Thanks, I’m glad you like it

I guess you are asking about the lightbox plugin, right? If so, basically the plugin supports .mov and .swf movies that can be uploaded to your server. I haven’t tested it with HD videos but I don’t think it will be much of a difference, however if you provide a link to one, I can try it.

Thanks mate

Thank you

Thanks for the interest, I’m glad you like it Here are my answers:

1. This theme uses only safe web fonts, so Cufon is not enabled. If you need to change the font- you will have to do it only in one file on several places, but you can always use a “Find and Replace” option

2. I am not sure what shortcodes exactly you are asking about, but you can see all the shortcodes available in the Features section of the demo. If you are interested in how the home page is set- the main title on the top is set with a shortcode and for the 3 boxes below there is a section in the admin where you can set everything.

3. Yes- the main page content is displayed above the boxes so you can insert anything in there.

4. Yes- you have an option to disable the post info (the date, category, author and comments data).

5. There aren’t video shortcodes included in the theme, but there are lots of plugins that are specialized about inserting videos into WordPress and provide shortcodes for easier usage.

6. Yes, they are.

7. Yes, there is a Google Analytics section added.

8. Yes, there is a Google Maps plugin included- you can see it working on the Contact page sidebar.

Hi,

Thank you for the interest. There is no limit about the images- I think 6-8 images will look nice on the slider

Hi,

Yes, this can be easily accomplished- you have to open the style.css file and in the both sections #logo-container and #menu-container you have to remove the float property and also add:

margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;

(to both sections)

You also need to remove the margin-top of the #menu-container div, so the final CSS of the div should be like this:

#menu-container {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
max-width:700px;
}

I hope it will be fine now

Thanks for your time, appreciate your answer and will implement that!

I have just implemented it on the demo- it is about one line only change and I will implement this in the next update very soon

Great, thanks!

Can you please provide a link to your site just to have a look?

Hi,

Yes, I think this theme is very suitable for your business. You don’t need any coding knowledge in order to set it- the theme is very easy to set, you just have to follow the instructions explained in the documentation and you will be able to set everything you can see on my demo without any code knowledge.

This can be very easily set just with a one line code change – you have to open the single.php and change the $slider variable on line 12 – you have to choose between slider-accordion | slider-thumbnail | slider-nivo. If for example, you would like to use the thumbnail slider, then the variable should be like this:

$slider='slider-thumbnail';

thanks, i’m going to test it tomorrow. another thing does it support child themes?

Yes, it does

Yes, there is a demo content file included that you can easily import into your installation, but I always recommend starting from scratch and following the documentation as the theme is very easy to set and it will be much easier for you to set it, rather than getting rid of the demo content.

Hi,

I’m glad you like this theme as well

I think that this might be caused by a plugin you have installed, so can you please temporarily disable all the plugins you have just to check if this is caused by one of them? If this still doesn’t help, please feel free to send me some login details so I can have a look at your installation.

Hi,

You can do it via my user profile contact form.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it

Hi,

There are some settings that WordPress doesn’t save with the export, such as the new WP 3 .0 custom menus, sidebar and options settings- the exported data mostly provides the content, rather than the settings and this is why I always recommend setting the theme from scratch as it is really easy to set- there isn’t much required

Thanks Pexeto..

Its really easy to follow the instructions in the documentation. I second setting up the theme from scratch. It helps.

Hi,

Thank you for the interest

This effect works in a more different way than the current one- it would involve the usage of 2 different images that will need to be edited with an image editor in advance, which I think won’t be suitable and easy for most of the users to set.

Hi Pexeto,

Thanks for the reply, I understand. Bought the theme anyway, because it’s lovely in design and quite complete. One more question though: can I change the background color of the sidebar? All my widgets have the same background color in line with the background color of the container.

Cheers, Casper

Hi,

Yes, you can change the sidebar background color- you have to add the following lines in the Dandelion Options->Styles->Additional Styles section:

.sidebar {
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}

(you have to replace the #CCCCCC with the color you like)

Hi,

If you open the Home->Featured Posts page on my demo you will see on the right sidebar the built in WordPress Links widget that I have used in order to display the sociable links – I hope it will be suitable for you
