Hi,

Google maps frame don’t work very well within responsive features. You can replace this with a maps image which won’t use the jquery of maps. I’d recommend getting in touch with a developer if using google maps api

Thanks

Hi,

Yes. You can have unlimited portfolio items in as many categories you require. You can also have an unlimited number of grid style portfolio listings provided in the theme to showcase you portfolio items.

Thanks

Hi kemrich, I’ve noted your requested related blog posts feature to upgrade notes. Thank you

Hi,

Please use an FTP application when uploading the theme. This is the best and recommended method which will ensure all files are uploaded. I’ve provided upload instructions on Help Guide.

Extract downloadpack which will contain a zip file called helm.zip

Extract helm.zip file and copy the folder to wordpress /themes/ folder. It will appear similar to /themes/helm/

The helm folder will contain screenshot.png and style.css ( to make sure you’re uploading the correct folder )

Once done this will be a complete upload. You can head to wp-admin and activate the theme. You can contact your webhost if you don’t have FTP upload information.

Thanks

Hi

1. Yes custom sidebars can be added from pages/posts editor. You can add custom sidebars from theme options.

Hi Michael,

Self hosted and embedded videos are possible in post formats. It’ll be visible under the Blog – Videos listing from Menu

The portfolios support video embeds.

Could you provide me url, i can check where its going wrong and give an accurate solution.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Self hosted videos are currently supported in Video post format as seen listed under the Blog list. You can check it from the Menu – Blog

Portfolio lightbox uses popular lightbox plugin prettyPhoto. It doesn’t support self-hosted videos currently.

Self-hosted videos are in ways simpler to implemented in code, but most codes go into handling browsers that don’t support HTML5 which require fallback mechanisms. I’ll take note of this as a request.

Thanks

Hi,

Simple drag and drop method to footer widget areas will work to populate footer sections ( wp-admin – Appearance – Widgets ).

Do make sure footer columns are enabled in wp-admin > Options > Footer section.

If these didn’t work then i’d need to check your site url to give an accurate solution.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. Which “widget” should I use to have 3 or 4 columns in the footer. As mentioned, the ones I see all say “Footer Single column 1, 2, 3, etc).

Aha! I figured it out! for 3 columns, drag a widget to Footer Single Column 1, a widget to Footer Single Column 2, a widget to Footer Single Column 3, etc. Kinda confusing, but it works!

Thanks! Great theme!

Thank you for purchasing theme and for the encouraging comment

Hi,

Portfolio images in single will work fine as portrait or landscape images.

In portfolio thumbnail galleries the portfolio images are resized & cropped to display accordion to the thumbnails sizes. To give more control over the how the thumbnail is resized there’s an optional thumbnail field where you can supply a different thumbnail than the one to be displayed in the lightbox or single portfolio page.

Thanks
