Gamma - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme

Can you be a little bit more specific about how to change the background color with css? ... I know html a little and pretty much nothing of css! =) thanks.

You can learn about the CSS background property here:

For example to make the background color for the first custom module you would do something like this:

.home-custom-one{ background: #000; }

I suggest you read up on CSS or hire a freelancer. Do to the very cheap price of themes, support should be dedicated to theme-related issues and not customization’s.

Hope that guidance helps, ^AJ

Help’s a lot! Thanks!

Oh, well first of all it doesn’t seem you are using it inside testimonials but rather in the regular post content, so there was no need to edit any code.

To me it just looks like the shortcode might be done incorrectly. Make sure there aren’t any blank spaces. If you continue having issues, you should contact the plugin developer.

Cheers. Will do. I was wondering if I could put social media icons in the top right of the header? Also I wanted to type a bigger version of my address to the right of my Contact boxes on the contact page. http://foundationsprogramme.com/contact/ How would I do this? Cheers.

You could cut out or duplicate the code for the social profiles and then add it to your header.php and change the location of the icons if you want others and then style accordingly. Otherwise you might have to use some sort of plugin. This is a customization you’ll need to handle on your own.

Not quite sure what you mean for the contact page. But if you want full control over widths of inner elements (the column shortcodes don’t provide enough for you). Then I suggest you edit the page in HTML mode so you can add in some divs and then style via CSS .

What if you were to try with my twitter username – @WPExplorer

Does that work?

You say that even the twitter maker doesn’t work for you and it seems to not work only when using your twitter username. Which seems pretty strange. Could you test with a few other usernames to make sure the issue isn’t localized to your specific feed?

Another thing you could try is maybe adding a new tweet to your feed, I see you haven’t tweeted for a long time, maybe Twitter has some sort of cache on the feed.

-AJ

You were correct. Twitter has some sort of cache which made it not show my tweets. Thank you. Geeze, I should have thought of that. Sorry

No worries, I didn’t know either. Good to know! Now when someone else has the same issue I can help them much quicker

This would be a really simple CSS customization. By default they all have a width just based on padding. You could set a fixed width like this:

.button{ width: 200px; }

Yeah, I was trying to get all in one footer to be 100px and all in the side bar to be uniform at 200px.. I was just hoping that there was some short code by default… all good, looks like editing CSS is the key. Thanks for your quick response.

Not with the shortcode. But you can add the button styles directly to your link. Here is a sample button:

 <a href="#" class="button black small " target="_self"><span class="button-inner">Normal</span></a>

Do you have the URL of the page in question? It’s pretty hard for me to know what’s going on without having a look. If you want to share in private, please open a ticket – wpthemehelp.com

Yes. You’ll need to enable the widgets module in the theme settings (then select your options for the title/columns). Then you can add them under Appearance->Widgets.

I have enabled that and I am able to see the widgets in home page, but can i have widgets at the right side of the highlights

for eg – if my home page is of 3 columns (can i have 2 highlights and 1 widgets, side by side)

This would require customizing the template files. What are you trying to add to a widget area? It’s possible you can just add a shortcode or HTML directly on the last highlight.

It’s created by filling our your social option in the theme panel.

Appearance -> Theme Settings -> Social

These are cropped to 390×390. If you open you staff-related files you’ll find this line…

//resize & crop the featured image
$featured_image = aq_resize( $img_url, 390, 390, true );

First value is width, second height and last is hard crop (true or false).

This would actually be a pretty complex customization. Not something i’ll be able to walk you through step by step (probably a 30min-1 hour customization). But I can point you the files to edit.

• theme_functions/widget_areas.php – you can see how I’ve added widgetized areas so you can add your own sidebar, you can learn more here – http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar
  
  
• single-portfolio.php – here you will edit the html to add your new sidebar (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/dynamic_sidebar), and possibly change featured image and slider image size dimensions if you are adding a new column to the post and shrinking the current one.
  
  
• style.css – at the bottom you can add any new CSS to style your new layout.
  
  
• css/responsive.css – you can see how the current portfolio post re-acts to media queries so you can style your new layout accordingly.
  
  

You shouldn’t really need to view/edit any other files then that. Hope that helps you out!

Have you tried uploading via FTP . It’s possibly your server can’t handle the size of this theme.

Glad you got it working

You can use the featured image by pasting the same URL into the meta option.

The meta options are essentially custom fields. For the lightbox URL the ID would be “wpex_portfolio_entry_lightbox”.

What might be easier though (if you want lightbox on all the items) would be to edit your template files so that it automatically adds the lighbox rather then you having to select a “style”.

You solved my problem, as usual!! Thanks!

Yes. As mentioned in the included documentation files, for my live demo I simply used the Contact Form 7 plugin. You can use any plugin you wish. In general there isn’t a point in having a build int contact form with the theme due to all the awesome and constantly updated plugins out there

Here is the one I use: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/

Thank you for the purchase, AJ

I was about to answer your question below, guess I’ll answer here

• Simply add some CSS to set the slider to 100%:

body #header-slider .flexslider .slide-inner{ width: 100%; }

• To center the menu its also basic CSS below is some code to help you get started – it will need some tweaking though.

#navigation, .sf-menu{ width: 100%; text-align: center; float: none; }
#navigation .sf-menu li, #navigation .sf-menu a{ display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; }

• All you would need to do is go to Settings->Reading and set that page as your static homepage option.

I thought you were asking about the homepage slider at the top.

The whole layout of this theme is centered. If you want a slider to extent all the way outside of the bounds of the main wrapper you would need to edit the CSS of that page so that the main wrap doesn’t have a fixed, you might be better off creating a custom template.

This would be a larger customization that I can’t walk you through.

if you have a shortcode for a slider you can show it anywhere you want inside a template like this:

<?php do_shortcode(‘YOUR SHORTCODE ’); ?>

In fact you can do that for any shortcode.

Simply remove the box-shadow property from the css. You can re-set it to box-shadow: none; Please look in style.css or via firebug.

The slider doesn’t have a fixed height. So if you want a smaller height for example, upload smaller images. If you want a larger height, upload larger images.
