Gamma - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme

Inserting a shortcode of gallery in one page I can not do that all images have the same height. Using eg [wpex_gallery columns = “4”] or [wpex_gallery columns = “4” image_height = “150”] or [wpex_gallery columns = “4” image_height = “150px”] does not work correctly. See an example on my site here: http://otroscaminos.es/alojamientos-con-encanto/

WPExplorer

Because of the responsiveness of the theme the image height isn’t an exact pixel value but a percentage of the default 450px height.

Example if you change to image_height = “150” your new size will actually be 675px;

If you want all the images the same size the best way is to ensure the images being uploaded are at least 450px tall if they are not the grid will mess up a bit.

For your purposes, if adding these galleries in multiple places, it might be a lot easier to use the built-in WordPress gallery system, no?

I understand: you mean that all my images should be at least 450px in height or more? OK

Certainly in that gallery I have pictures that have a height less than 450px, then to fix the problem I had to force them from css for that page only:

  1. page-id-4865. single-gallery-thumb img { height: 130px; }

On the other hand I do not want to use the built-in WordPress gallery system because it has no lightbox.

WPExplorer

Gotcha.

Yes, the default WP system doesn’t have lightbox but you can add lightbox with js or a plugin.

Sounds like you’ve got it working how you want though. Love the changes you’ve made to the theme, looks nice!

best of luck ;)

Wpexplorer thanks! we must recognize that the theme Gamma also offers great flexibility in design. Especially during site development and installation of plugings not been a single javascript conflict. I even had to upgrade from WP 3.4 to WP 3.5 and it worked wonderfully

WPExplorer

Glad its working. Thanks for the kind words!

In the home in the “show blog section” does not display “field text excerpt” does it automatically. I tried to change this in the file includes / home-blog on the line: echo wp_trim_words (get_the_content (), $ data [‘home_blog_excerpt_length’]), but not how to fix it … can you help me?

WPExplorer

You can change lines 78-83 to check the excerpt field first:

//  Show trimmed content if excerpt is blank
$excerpt = ( !empty($post->post_excerpt) ) ? get_the_excerpt() : wp_trim_words( strip_shortcodes( get_the_content('') ), 20);
echo $excerpt;

Hello AJ.

congrats for the theme. I’m glad with the theme. I have some question, where have the theme option I try to drag and drop the fuctions, like portiforio, Blog Hightligths, but don’t have this space and this fuction for me. It is possible to have the model like the demo, it will be more easy to build the website. If you have any tutorial that can I follow I will apreciate, I know the videos, I did the same things, like to add a higthligths, but it does not work. I really hope to hear from you soon.

best regards,

Ju

hi Ju,

The theme includes a sample-data.xml file – http://www.wpthemehelp.com/knowledgebase/uploading-your-xml-sample-data/

I am not sure what you are having issues with though. If the modules aren’t dragging then a plugin might be causing a js conflict. If you simply don’t see the modules on the front-end, make sure you setup the homepage as described in the included docs.

thank you for the purchase, AJ

I’m trying to decrease the space in-between a slider I put inside body and the top menu bar.

I’ve tried multiple things in css but can’t seem to bring it to the top of the cell. I think it’s inside this container:

div#home-wrap

You can see all the blank space between the top menu nav and the slider that was inserted into the body here:

Looks like one of the homepage custom modules is being used to add javascript. These modules have a 40px bottom margin:

Quick question.

I notice that the logo image I uploaded does not resize properly. When I open the same page up in IE the menu overlaps the logo. But in Firefox, Chrome & Safari the menu is spaced just fine. Am I missing something?

I just want to make it NOT overlap the menu in IE. The responsive layout works just fine and the logo is resized on my iphone so maybe it’s just an IE problem. Our main audience will be using IE, so it’s fairly important for me to have the logo resize and not overlap the menu.

Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

IE might be adding a bit more padding to your menu items. I would suggest if your menu is fairly long to change the padding a bit between menu items so they fit better.

Also, I notice every now and then on several different computers and browsers that the font icons don’t show up. Here’s a screen shot of what it looks like when they randomly don’t show up:

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi greg. If the font icons aren’t working it’s a server side issue.

Maybe this will help:

http://www.wpthemehelp.com/knowledgebase/font-awesome-icons-firefox/

or this:

http://www.wpthemehelp.com/knowledgebase/font-icons-not-working/

If neither help, you might have to do a bit of search on the web for a solution. The icons just use @font-face which should work on any server given its setup correctly.

How do you change the background to the darker option? Black or grey or something? Thanks

WPExplorer

You’ll want to change this via CSS.

Hey AJ,

I’d like to also add fontawesome icons on callout buttons… what is your suggestion on how I should do this?

Thanks,

EB

UPDATE Got it! I just made some changes to the shortcodes. I will be adding extra fields to admin control so I don’t have to manually enter them.

WPExplorer

Yes that works best. Glad you figured it out!

My new theme I will be releasing soon will have them built into the buttons as you mention using an icon_before=”” or icon_after=”” parameter ;)

nasabayabasan

Can’t wait to check that out. :D

nasabayabasan

I just want to share how it turns out.

http://www.vqorthocare.com/ see the tagline and some of the callout in “Surgical Lab” page. Where I’ve added icon, icon-color, and size.

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing friend ;)

Hi AJ. I know you’re busy, but any progress on the logo resize issue I asked about above last week? All help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hey there. I’m pretty sure I’ve responded to your answer. I think I recommended decreasing your padding a bit for the menu.

Hi there

I’m just wondering how I can make my contact page like the theme live preview?

I want to have the 2 columns (form on the left and text on the right), but when I enter text in WP dashboard it appears above or below.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

I use the column shortcodes for this. Here is an the exact code/test of my contact page content: http://pastebin.com/vnDpPE0C

Hi AJ. Just a quick one… I’m developing my site using Gamma on a local server. I’m trying to use the services on my home page as links to the other pages on my site, but I don’t seem to be able to change the link from http://localhost:8888/Network_One/services/better-rankings to the one I want, which is http://localhost:8888/Network_One/contact-us.

I’m sure this isn’t a theme-specific issue, but I’m new to Wordpress so not entirely sure.

Thanks Tom

WPExplorer

Hi Tom,

The services on this theme by default go to their corresponding posts. If you want them to link elsewhere you’ll need to either add a new functionality to the theme most likely using a custom field so you can override the default permalink or use 301 redirects to redirect these posts.

My newer theme “Ultra” does allow for linking to other sites on the service entries ;) But at the moments it’s not something I’ll be updating Gamma with, sorry ;(

I have solved my previous issue using a plugin (The ‘Page Links to’ plugin for anyone who has a similar issue). Sorry to be a nightmare, but I’ve just noticed that I can’t hide the page title on the FAQ page (it works on all other pages. Is there a fix for this AJ?

Thanks in advance

Tom

Tom

WPExplorer

Oh that’s great, thanks for the plugin. Nice find! Ill be sure to add to my knowledgebase.

The FAQ thing must be a bug in the theme. If you want you can just hide with CSS ;) But if you want the fixed file please open a support ticket so we can get that fixed up for you and send you the fixed file: http://wpexplorer.org

For the life of me I can’t figure out how to get the highlights, portfolio, or any of the other items onto the home page. All I can seem to get is the blog posts, or a static page. Is there some setting I’m missing? No matter what I do I can’t seem to get the “Highlights” to be visible on the home page.

Basically you need to first create a regular page. Select the homepage template, then under Settings->Reading define this page as the static homepage option.

Default-user

Thank you. Been in there for 3 hours trying to figure it out. Makes sense. :)

WPExplorer

Sure thing! I will soon be changing all my themes to use front-page.php instead so there will be no need for the static page. Sorry for any confusion!

You simply have to attach images to the post. Please see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIcRKzzlsVY

Hi, great theme. I´m having some problems with WPML translation of my site. I´m using 4 highligts on my homepage. Is there a smart way to translate them? The plugin works great on all the other pages. Thanks,

WPExplorer

Can y ou double check in includes/home-highlights.php you have the following code on line 21:

'suppress_filters' => false // allow filters for WPML

This is used for WPML support. If not, it’s possible you are using an outdated version.

It’s best if you can open a ticket at the support site – http://wpexplorer.org.

Default-user

Thanks, for the fast reply. The highligts works fine now. I forgot to click “translate” in WPML translation options. (Custom posts – Highligts..)

I´m still having problem with the translation of the description text in the slider on my homepage. I have translated the text but it shows only the original language. Any suggestions on what I can do?

The page is: etscouting dot com if you want to take a look. Thanks,

WPExplorer

Because the slider description is a custom field you’ll probably have to make 1 slider for each language. This way you’ll have 1 static page for each language and be able to choose your sliders accordingly.

Default-user

Thanks for taking the time to help, I appreciate it! I have tried everything: translating the original slider and creating a totally new one. It still shows the original one…

Default-user

Hi AJ! Looking at your plugin to implement shortcodes for WPML to translate custom strings, but when I take the raw text and make a plugin and upload I get

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN in wpml-shortcode/wpmlhortcode.php on line 21

Your plugin was pasted to pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/5WSeiK33

Any idea what’s wrong on line 21? Also tried to add the code in the wpex-framework and functions but both got killed with 500 internal server error.

WPExplorer

Forgive the delayed response. I do have a little plugin I made for the WPML shortcodes which we can send you if you open a ticket at the support site – http://wpexplorer.org.

I’m thinking though that the issue with translation might have a very simple fix though via a quick theme update. So if you want to share your site url + logins we’ll see if we can get it fixed up for you ;)

Hi, quick question. Is it possible for the ‘highlights’ section on the homepage to use custom icons that aren’t part of font awesome?

WPExplorer

Not via any built-in functionality. What you can do is edit the CSS for the icon….set the font to a standard font like “Arial”, then give it a fixed width/height and set the background of the icon class to an image you prefer.

Or…if you want to submit a “suggestion” ticket at the support site I might consider updating so that it supports featured images as a fallback ;)http://wpexplorer.org.
