How can I modify the font, color and size of the menu words in the header?

jonathan01

edit the style in the correct css file you are using – if you use firefox with the firebug plugin installed you can select any item on the page and find it’s properties / change them and see your alterations immediately before actually changing the css – I would recommend doing that.

Many thanks

Thanks for all your help….last one.

How do I get rid of the slider text and shaded box at the top of each slider image?

Thanks

jonathan01

Hi – there’s 2 steps to this.

Step 1 – Open up jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Around line 431 you will see the captionOpacity: 0.8 – change this to 0.0

Step 2 – Open up style.css and scroll down to about line 2241 – you are going to want to remove the .nivo-caption and the .nivo-caption p from the css

That should do it – good luck and thanks for your purchase! :)

Ok, thanks but it took away the shaded area at the bottom of the slider. How do I get that back but just get rid of the top of the slider only?

jonathan01

Making those changes shouldn’t of done that because it’s a completely different class.. odd. You can try putting everything back that you changed and don’t set a title on the image.. Maybe that will work for you – otherwise I would use firefox and firebug so you can play around with the css to get the result you would like for your personal customization.

Otherwise I would take a look at the authors site and support on how to personalize nivo slider – link is http://nivo.dev7studios.com/support/jquery-plugin-usage/

Many Thanks

I have switch my home page to the magazine without slider setup, but the page is only displaying one top article and one article on the left as well ass the post images at the bottom. I check the category tags and they seem to be in order.

Also, is it possible to add widgets to the right side next to the two top articles?

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi! I’m working in our web page with your theme. I’m thankfull cause is very easy to work in it. But our webpage is in spanish amb I wonder if I can traslate the predetermined labels, as “continue reading” or “latest news”... I see in the firebug but I’m not clear about where I have to change it… Can you help me? And sorry for my terrible english, step to step I get it better!

Diana.

jonathan01

Hi Diana – your absolutely fine on your english! :)

I have a list here of every template file that has the hard coded english for you to change – it’s a rather long list – but only 1 or 2 words to change. :)

Here we go….

404.php, comments.php, index.php, single-portfolio.php, single.php, single_blogfull.php, single_leftsidebar.php, single_fullimgrightsidebar.php, single_rightsidebar.php, template_homenoslide.php, template_homeproducts.php template_portfolio1.php, template_portfolio2.php, template_portfolio3.php, template_portfolio4.php, template_homeslide.php, footer.php, search.php

That covers every file that has english in there to be translated. Good luck with the site and thanks for your purchase.

Many thanks

Hi Jonathan. Thank you very much for your gide. I have done the translation successfully.

But now I have one other request for you, if it’s possible. I’d like to have some others magazzine templates in my page. I don’t mine if they are the same each others, but I need to do one for every month of the year. How can I do this, it is possible?

Thank’s again

Hi again. I look for your help again… I have to put a banner in our home page and I no get to know how to do it! Is a html code to insert in the page, like this:

Can you help me?

And so, I can’t see the articles at the bottom of the home page (magazine with slider) It is right that they are 4, isn’t it? Way I don’t see it?

Tank you very much. I hope you can help me!

jonathan01

paste html in to your post or page via the HTML tab not the wysiwyg tab editor as you normally would in wordpress.

Did you choose your category from the admin panel for the posts you can’t see – sounds like you need to read the documentation which details how to show and setup your homepage.

Also could you please use the contact form which is also detailed and linked to in your documentation (or click my avatar and complete the form on the right of the page) for support as this is purely a comment section for the item – not a support forum – many thanks

Having some trouble with my theme. Layout is skewed in certain browsers, but only on the home screen mag layout with slider. globalbaptisttimes.org and gibf.org

jonathan01

Greetings – I can only recommend that you revert back to your downloaded files if you have made CSS changes as the theme displays fine as provided maybe you have installed a plugin that is causing issues? Try deactivating and removing any extra plugins if you have them

Also providing specific type of browser and version number would also be required

Also please use the contact form on my profile page for support as per instructions as this is purely a comment area not a support forum doig the form will enable us to better serve you

Jonathan, Hello, my RSS feed button does not seem to be working. I haven’t done anything with it …. I’ve never used one before so this may be a dumb question, but do I have to turn something on in the backend to get it to work? For reference my site is churchrenewal.united.edu.

Thank You, Michele

Hello there! First & foremost. Amazing theme you have here! Best I’ve used in a long time. Two questions for you (sorry if you’ve answered them already): 1. Is there any way that I can change one page heading’s font and color without changing the rest of the page’s heading font and color? 2. Is there any way that I can change one of the drop-down menu titile’s color without changing all of the others?

Thank you for all of your help in advance! Nicole

jonathan01

Hi and thank you for your purchase. To change font color and heading without. Hanging the other pages, no you would need to create a new class for this. Also it’s the same response for the drop down menu – the all share the same class so there’s no way to separate them.

Thanks

Hi,

I have two questions. When I click on my portfolio and then click into a particular portfolio item, the breadcrumb shows, Home|blog|portfolio-item instead of Home|Portfolio|Portfolio-item. How do I fix that?

And is there a way of removing the feature item within a post but keep it as the feature image outside of the post, like on the blog page you would see the feature image, but when you click read more to go into the post the feature item would be out of the way. I hope that’s clear.

Thanks, William

jonathan01

Thanks for your purchase.

No – the breadcrumb doesn’t show home/portfolio/portfolio-item because portfolio is a custom post type and the breadcrumb plugin doesn’t recognize this so it’s puts “blog” there instead..

If you want to remove the featured image when you click through to the blog you would need to edit all 5 single-....php templates to remove the <?php the_post_thumbnail('blogposts');?>. This will get you exactly what you were wanting. The template file names you will need to edit are : single_blogfull.php, single_fullimgrightsidebar.php, single_leftsidebar.php, single-rightsidebar.php and single.php.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thanks that worked great.

What is your thought on installing this theme on a host installed WP blog? Would that cause issues and should I manually install WP on my site?

Also I did not install the XML file, so in the manual is says I need to “Add Custom Field” and call it “alt” to add captions to images within posts. But I cannot seem to figure out how to do that. Theres nowhere to input that. Can you elaborate more on that procedure?

One more thing I added,

.alignleft { display: inline; float: left; //add padding and margins and borders as you see fit// } .alignright { display: inline; float: right; //add padding and margins and borders as you see fit// } .aligncenter { display: inline; float: center; //add padding and margins and borders as you see fit// } to my style.css because the text was not wrapping around my images in posts. Is this a known issue of something with my install?

Thanks, sorry for all the questions.

William

jonathan01

Hi – it might be easier for you to contact me via my profile page so I can send you screen shots of the alt text field.

As for the alignleft etc – no, it’s not a problem with the install. Not sure what happened there, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will have to see what happened and release an update (if necessary).

many thanks

Hi Jonathan, I’ve bought the Life theme last year. I really love the clean design (although I think the BRUAN theme is even nicer!!!).

2 questions:

- Multi-language site: many people recommend WPML for running a multi-language site. It may seem a second priority if your main market is the US, but outside of it, it’s almost obligatory, so here is a huge market for you. WPML provides a list of tested themes, but I don’t like any of them. http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/ So my question, have you ever tested Life or Bruan with WPML ? And if you haven’t maybe this would be a great way to get included in that list and get new clients as that page gets a lot of visits I imagine. I would buy (and recommend Bruan) if I knew it worked.

- Accents: Is there a way to change the font on the Life theme? In the default font, when you are writing in languages with lots of accents (Spanish, French, etc.) then the letter with the accent is displayed bigger and it doesn’t look clean (see my blog for reference naturemarie.com)

Thanks a lot and congrats on the great design :-) Julia

jonathan01

Hi Julia – you can always swap out the font used via the style sheet – if you open it up it’s just the same as a regular html style sheet – change the font /. sizes etc etc – now it could be that you may want to go and get a new @font-face pack of the font in question that includes all glyphs – standard @font-face packs offer the most optimal characters – not all because it increases size of files, and some fonts don’t offer international characters – you can get the font name from the help file or by looking in the style sheet – if you want to swap it out then simply go ahead and do that for sure.

As for multi language – I believe some authors have used this before but I am not sure if they had to change anything or if it worked right of the bat – same with Briuan also – but I appreciate your input.

Many thanks again for your purchase and nice comments :)

Hi,

I have added 5 items to my portfolio page, but when I click on the page 2 button the resulting page says “Oops! We have an issue.” Not sure whats going on here, maybe I have some setting misconfigured?

Thanks, William

Hi and thanks for the purchase

It sounds like your permalinks setting isnt correct – I would check the help documentation section that mentions how to set this up

Hi, I just went on my site my morning and I noticed that my portfolio link in my main menu was gone. In the admin I checked under Appearance>menu and the portfolio link is still there. And the portfolio pages are still there, just no link. I removed the link within the menu and then added it back in but it still does not show up.

Have any idea why this is happening or has it happened before?

Thanks, William Wright

jonathan01

That’s very strange. No we’ve never had that before. Our live preview has been running since November 2010 and still no issues there. Have you recently updated your site, server, plugins or anything like that?

Default-user

I apologize somehow I had deleted the portfolio link from the primary menu and not the main menu. So I added it back to the primary menu. The only issue I still have is the links at the bottom of the main portfolio page that go to the next page gives me an error, as if the next page does not exist, I’ve had this issue before and forgot how it got fixed.

Thanks and sorry for my mistake

jonathan01

Hello there! As you know, you have an amazing theme. Thank you for putting so much time into it. It came out wonderfully!

Two quick questions for you:

1. Is there any way I can remove the ‘Portfolio Banner’ from the Portfolio page on my website?

2. Do you know what might be the cause of the titles of my slides blinking in and out (on the home page), even when they don’t transition?

For reference: http://www.lifefxtraining.com/

Thank you in advance for all of your help and a fantastic piece of art.

Nicole

jonathan01

Hi and thank you for your purchase and your kind comments. No I have never seen the flashing before. I would try removing the widgets you have on the homepage first and seeing if there is a conflict somewhere. As for the Portfolio Banner, yes, you can remove this by editing the style.css for this class ” #page_wrapper_portfolio and removing the background image.

Hope that helps.

Hey!

I’m having an issue with a Portfolio Item Type, Somehow somehow all images appear in the main Portfolio class and on another Item Type, but there’s a new one I just created that wont show anything.

Can you please take a look?

http://pedropenzini.com/galeria/

The troubled item type is called: “En el Estudio”

Thanks!

Pedro

jonathan01

when creating your slug did you follow wordpress’ naming convention of using dashes for spaces and no uppercase letters as detailed in the documentation?

En el Estudio – incorrect

en-el-estudio – correct

I have found where the logo resides in the css but I want to make it bigger. I’ve changed the margins and it still remains the same, small logo space. How do I change this.

jonathan01

The page has a background that is a repeatable pattern, if you look in the img folder of the color you are running for page_bgrnd.jpg you will see that the dark background for the header is a preselected size. If you want to increase this you would need to recreate an image that allowed for a bigger section for the header dark background that holds the log.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I have bought your wordpress theme, you can see it on site: www.breakvending.it

1) I’m not very expert…How can I insert an image in Home page?

2) Why in the menu “LA NOSTRA OFFERTA ” (http://www.breakvending.it/magazine-with-slider/) the images in the slider are visible with a red X box?

Thank you!

jonathan01

Hi and thank you for your purchase. I can see the images on your La Nostra Offerta page – I don’t see red x’s? Red x’s generally mean that the browser you are using can not see the images that are supposed to be there. Can you tell me what browser you are using?

As for inserting images into your home page, can you be a little more specific please? When I click on your logo (presuming it takes me to your homepage) all I see is a blank page? Did you set your static page as per the documentation? Create a page called home and choose your page template and then from the WP admin area Settings / Reading choose which page will be your static home page.

Thanks

Thanks to your explanation, I understand how to solve the problem of Home! :) For the box with the red x, I’m using internet explorer. But there is also the problem with Google Chrome. 1) Can it slide only great pictures without the guidance with smaller images? 2) Also, can I remove the name of the images in the top right of slider?

jonathan01

Hi a red X means a missing image as already stated. As for customizing things – yes everything is possible but you will need to explore the slider authors site on how and what to remove / change and alter as customizations are not included in support unfortunately. The slider used is the nivo slider – a quick search in google will get you to their website.

Hope that helps

Jonathan
