Gamma - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme

Thanks for all the help. For some reason the Homepage BG still hasn’t chaged. The text changes colour fine, but not the BG colour. My text looks like this:

body.home { background: #383838;} body { background-color: #000; nowhitespace: afterproperty; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6em; font-family: ‘Source Sans Pro’, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #444; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; }

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Humm…That would change the body color. I’m thinking you want to change the main wrapper color. That would be like this:

body.home #wrap { background: #383838;} 

Thatdid it. Thanks alot mate.

You mean so you can have 2 staff sections?

It could be a little tricky if you don’t know what you are doing. I think the best thing might be to simply duplicate the file at includes/home-staff.php – edit it to remove the code grabbed from the theme panel and add your options for category manually. Then what you could do is edit template-home.php and for one of the custom modules add your include function for the new file.

I could give you the email of a freelancer that might be able to help you with such customization.

Hey man. Thank you for the purchase! You have always been a great and loyal customer, I really appreciate it!

The gamma theme uses a lot of CSS3 that isn’t supported in ie7 or i8.

I don’t provide ie7 support (its because of people supporting the browser that people continue using it). However, for the most part you should be able to “fix” up these issues. The theme has an ie7.css and ie8.css files in the CSS folder for anyone wishing to make some tweaks.

I just had a look and I do see a little bug in header.php which I will fix for ie7. On line 47 I have a typo for the icon font it reads:

awesome_font_ie7.css.css

but it should read:

awesome_font_ie7.css

That fix will get the icon working for the accordions.

Regarding the menu. It sounds like a z-index issue, but when I checked out your site in ie7 I didn’t see the problem. Did you get this fixed up? The following CSS would fix it:

#header{ position: relative; z-index: 99; }

Sorry you have to deal with clients living in the past ;(

Oh I’m glad. Well if you want any help with tweaks or whatever I’d be glad to help out.

ps: If you click “reply” on the original comment they will thread. It’s not to obvious unfortunately.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about, but based on that line “nuan_ria_plugin” makes me think you have a plugin installed that’s causing this. Can you try disabling any active plugins?

Otherwise, if you open a ticket at WPThemehelp.com with the URL I would be glad to have a look.

Thank you for the purchase Tim!

WordPress featured images must be in the WP gallery for security reasons. Are these images you are trying to use also in the WordPress media library?

Found the problem (It wasn’t me :P)

The Advanced Search Widget works… but I can’t get it to work with ANY “post type ordering” plugins installed, as it alters the themes menu (main and footer) with it’s result.

I’ll try to add a search form widget based on what you have included in your theme.

Thanks for letting me know

Added the small search widget.

Hi Lim,

Glad you like the theme Of course you can change anything, however, these aren’t theme panel options if that’s what you are asking. This sort of customization will need to be done via CSS .

-AJ

Hi, Thanks for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately I am not a programmer nor designer. How does one go about changing the background colour through CSS ? Can it be done easily?

Regards, Lim

I would suggest you hire a freelancer to do it for you – that’s usually how people should go about making their website

Or you can learn on your own: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Yes definitely. There should be an option in the theme panel options under “Custom Post Types” where you can edit this in the dashboard.

Let me know if you can’t find it.

Also don’t forget to re-save your permalinks after changing.

Thank you for the purchase!

Oh man, that was pretty obvious, I don’t know how I missed that . Thanks alot!

You’ll need to install some sort of sidebar plugin. There are some free options here:

Wow, love the theme … great work! Everything is working great, but I was wondering if one can show the title and excerpt on the five column portfolio?

Cheers Michael

I’ve simply hidden it via CSS , mainly because there isn’t much room. You can add the following custom CSS to the bottom of style.css to make it show always:

.portfolio-entry-description{ display: block !important; }

Thanks for the purchase! AJ

Excellent, thanks AJ.

Cheers

IT’s the same sizes – 390px by 390px. You can easily change the size for the single staff pages by editing line 124 in single-staff.php:

$wpex_featured_image = aq_resize( $img_url, 390, 390, true );

The first value is height and the second width.

-AJ

That looks great! Thanks so much for sharing I will be adding to my upcoming wpimpressive site for sure.

Thank you for the purchase,

AJ

I just tested locally and it’s working just fine. Make sure you select your “Sidebar To Replace” when creating your widget areas with the plugin. The theme has different sidebars so make sure you are selecting the correct one.

-AJ

There isn’t an option in the theme panel for this, if that’s what you were asking. You would need to modify your template files.

thanks for your interest, AJ

Hey Gals,

No need to yell at me I had a look at your site, I’m not seeing any issue with the slider itself. I see the page does take a while to load, but I think maybe it’s due to all the youtube videos on the page having to load from an external source.

-AJ

I’ve updated all my demos to WP 3.5 and have only found 1 issue so far…In gamma specifically you’ll want to remove the following line in functions.php (40):

require_once( get_template_directory() .'/theme_functions/include_in_rotator.php');

It’s no longer required as any image not attached to the post will be excluded without the need of a separate option.

Thanks. Will you release a new version with this update?

Yes. That and some small css changes for the theme panel buttons are the only changes that will be made.

do something like this: ??

No…more like you change to this:

<img src="<?php echo $featured_image; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="staff-entry-img" />

That leaves just the image and remove the link html.

Perfect. That worked. Thank you so much for the quick support. Great theme!
