This is a very beautiful and extremely perfect theme for an upcoming project of mine, bookmarked for later purchase! :)

Amazing job on this!

Awesome. I hope it works for you. It means a lot coming from you!

hello! i purchased today your nice theme, now i have problems to build up the site. maybe its possible to publish the demo content – it would be very helpful for me. thanks. regards.

WPExplorer

Hi,

Thank you for the purchase. If you open the zip file you download for the theme, there is a complete HTML documentation file that explains how everything works.

If you want a .xml of the theme demo, I can send this to you (although there is already a minimized sample data file already included with the theme, which should be easier to work with). But if you do want the full demo sample data, contact me via the profile page and I will email it to you.

Hello, great theme! How do you take off comments on pages? I don’t want to have people commenting on pages only on posts?

Thanks,

WPExplorer

In the same manner as you would with regular posts. You just have to un-check the discussion box in the post editor.

Looks great! I like how in minin standard version left column is stick and all the time in front of my eyes. Is it possible to do the same in minin-sidebar version? Can i change on main page my general content from Recent Work to Latest Posts?

WPExplorer

Not it isn’t possible to do this by default. The reason why I don’t allow it in the theme is because if the sidebar is long and a user has a smaller screen (laptop/ipad) it will cause issues as the sidebar will go off the screen.

If you mean use the front page as a blog page, yes. You can enable the blog-style homepage.

Hello and thank you for your theme. Nevertheless, I obtain “errors 404” on all the articles when the theme is active. (All the extensions were deactivated)

my website : http://www.batmoine.fr

Thx !

WPExplorer

If you are obtaining 404 errors, you’ll want to first check your permalink settings (try saving them again) to make sure. If this doesn’t work make sure everything is right in your .htaccess file.

I took a look and I didn’t see anything. Did you fix it up?

Hello, first I want to give you my congratulations for your great work!. Now, I’m wondering if is there a easy way to postpone the displacement from the sidebar until the user stops doing scroll?

WPExplorer

Hi,

Thank you for the purchase, I am glad you like it so far. The sidebar does work in this manner, what I suggest if you want you can slow it down via the javascript file located at js/jquery.init.js. The sidebar scrolling is the first piece of code. You can change where it says “normal” to “slow” or a number in milliseconds for the scrolling speed.

Also, you might want to consider using the “static” sidebar. Have you seen this option?

I have just bought this theme and its great but i do have a problem when making a portfolio, it duplicate all of the images so it shows them more then just once .. how to fix this ? like on this site http://kasperpers.com/?portfolio=80 its only the 6 first images on the page the rest is duplicates i don’t want to have ? how to fix it ? :S

WPExplorer

Im looking at the names and it seems there are duplicated on the post.

If you log into your post editor and you click on the upload/insert button under the title, then you go to “gallery”, see if the images are duplicated here, if so you can delete them. You can also re-arrange them ;)

Default-user
I have looked it over and over again there is no duplicated images in the gallery here is a screenshot from my point of view http://i.imgur.com/L2x6c.png hope you can help me fix it, because it is kinda annoying that it duplicates it self..
WPExplorer

Looks like you are inserting the “gallery” into the post editor. Make sure the post editor is blank. You don’t have to insert the gallery, it just works automatically.

The page template grabs the attached images automatically and ads the lightbox. The gallery function you insert to the post editor is completely separate, if you insert the gallery shortcode you will get duplicates.

Does this make sense?

-AJ

Default-user

YES ! Thank you very much! i had this option in another theme but totally forgot about it now it works like it should ! thanks very mooch for the great and fast support ! :)

WPExplorer

Sure, no problem.

I don’t it when people have to insert galleries to their posts, it makes things easier ;)

Thank you for the purchase.

Hi there, very interested in this theme, possibly for 2 different websites. I was wondering in the Grid & Lightbox gallery, is there the facility to add a description to each photo? And if there is, does that description appear when you open it in lightbox? I know that the title displays in the lightbox, which is more than a lot of themes offer, but I really need a brief description in there too. Thanks in advance.

WPExplorer

Hi,

Thank you for the interest. The theme doesn’t support descriptions natively in the lightbox. This is something you would have to add yourself. The lightbox script used in the theme is PrettyPhoto. You can checkout the link below and see if it’s something you might be able to work with:

Hi, it is a very nice theme.

My qustion is this one: is it possible to get an other size of the featured image in the single posts – may be a weight from 600px?

WPExplorer

Not by default. It would require just a few edits in the theme files which I can help you with.

Hi, great theme! but: when i open a picture in the lightbox.. it changes wayyyy to fast between two pictures

what can i do?

WPExplorer

I thought the transition was fine at this speed. But if you want to slow it down it’s quite easy.

If you open js/jquery.init.js you will find the following:

//PrettyPhoto gallery
            $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
                theme: 'pp_default', /* light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square / facebook */
                animation_speed:'normal',
                allow_resize: true,
                keyboard_shortcuts: true,
                show_title: false,
                slideshow:3000,
                social_tools: false,
                autoplay_slideshow: true,
                overlay_gallery: false
            });

Simply change the “slideshow” value which is currently set to 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds) to the speed you want.

I love this theme. It matches my personal aesthetic. However, I (like the person above) find the single image page to be too narrow and the side bar too wide. is this tweakable?

Great theme. one of the best I’ve seen.

-dp

WPExplorer

Hi,

If you know your way around CSS it wouldn’t be too hard to tweak the theme to match your size preferences. You’ll have to change the css to make the sidebar smaller and then the right side larger (this is easy) what will be a bit trickier for you and might take a bit is if you make the right side larger, changing all the galleries, slider, portfolio…etc sections so that items are still perfectly spread out evenly, you’ll probably also have to edit some of the image sizes (slider, full image) to match your new widths.

They aren’t terribly hard customizations, but of course, it’s something you will have to edit.

Lovely, tasteful work. Congrats! White minimalism right up my alley.

I want to buy this theme but have to ask beforehand if you’d be willing to give me some pointers on how to accomplish two design tweaks:

1. I’d rather have regular angular corners (no rounded corners or drop-shadows);

2. Also, about the blog posts, I’d prefer having image previews stretch full width, and specifically regarding the main blog page, having the post title and date just above it, you know, the classical way. (Although it just occurred to me that showing up the whole post on the main blog page would also work for me; I don’t quite fancy having excerpts and will mostly post photos and little to zero text.)

Hoping for a quick answer! Thanks a bunch!

WPExplorer

1. Super easy to change via CSS . Just have to cut out a few lines of code which I can guide you to.

2. This wouldn’t be a very hard change, in fact quite easy. I can add an additional template (Blog Version 2) to the theme that uses full-width posts instead of the default image+excerpt and has a full-width style featured image at the top if defined. So it would be title, meta, image, post.

Just let me know if you end up purchasing the theme and I can send you the updated version with the added page template. Then instruct you for making those small css edits.

WPExplorer

I added the update to the theme. You can see the second blog style version in action now on the demo:

Great! That settles it.

About the new blog style, that’s exactly what I wanted. Sweet! Just one thing: the space below the image is a little off in Firefox+OSX10.6 – http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14130871/minim_space.png (looks ok in Win7)

So I’ll be waiting for your instructions then. Thank you!

WPExplorer

I checked and don’t see that issue…do you still see the spacing issue?

By the way, I see Themeforest has yet to update my file. If you can’t access these new features, let me know (contact me via my profile page) so I can send you the updated theme via email.

Hello there, I really like the theme but before purchasing it I was wondering two things:

1. I’m using slideshowpro and was wondering if you think I can post .swf files in the portfolio section. Like there are videos from vimeo it should be possible to have .swf files, right? And in the main menu of the portfolio can I show how many portfolio items as I want on one page or is it limited to 8 (2×4) like in the demo?

2. in the main meny of the blog section, what happens if I don’t link any image to a post, will the text stay on the left side of the column or will it fill out the entire column?

Thx in advance!

C

WPExplorer

Hi, thank you for the interest.

1. You’ll have to use a plugin to showcase your .swf videos and rather then using the “video” style format for the portfolio I would suggest using the “plain” style which only shows whatever is in the post editor, so you can insert your video at the top using w/e plugin you use for swf.

On the portfolio page you can select how many items you want to show per page, it’s an option in the theme panel.

2. Right now the text will stay on the right side, unfortunately. I will be posting an update really soon to fix this issue as it shouldn’t do this. It should stretch the text as you mention. Thanks for reminding me ;)

Default-user

Thx for your fast answer/update of the blog section—> you just got yourself another customer! Looking forward to further improvements, maybe more colour schemes? C

Now that I’ve been playing around with the theme for one day I noticed something: In the portfolio section, the tag is not centered under the portfolio item title, here a screenshot: http://imgur.com/itKMk I tried to view the page in chrome, firefox and safari, with the same result. Thx.
WPExplorer

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know! I will update the theme first thing tomorrow. Here is the CSS required:

li.portfolio-item h2 span a:last-child{ padding: 0; margin: 0; }

Hi, thank you for making such a wonderful theme, love it.

I would like to use this site to sell my products. I want to ask if it is possible to make a form within the site, something alike to the contact us page, with the product image, some blanks and check boxes?

WPExplorer

Hi,

Thank you for your interest. I’m sure it’s possible, but it’s not something built into the theme. You’ll need to use some sort of external plugin to achieve this.

Minim is almost perfect for what I’m looking for, and I had a couple of quick questions.

Is it relatively easy for me to:

1. Make the content column wider. I’ll be posting a lot of photos, and I’d prefer to show off 720px wide photos than the current 600px.

2. Switch out the slider for FlexSlider, which works well with touch devices.

Being able to make the content column wider is a must for me, but I suspect I can live with the slider minim currently comes with. :)

Also:

3. Is it easy to change the order of slides in the slideshow? I’ve now come across a couple of themes on TF where the only way to change the order of slides is to delete everything and repost.

WPExplorer

1. This would take quite some editing, but mostly because you will have to change the proportions of things like the portfolio page which has columns. You’ll have to either change the featured image sizes or edit the padding so its all still proportional. You’ll need some advanced CSS knowledge for this and at some basic WP knowledge as well for editing the featured image sizes, as you will have to do this at least for the slider and the full-width image sizes. Personally I don’t think it’s to hard, just depends on your level of expertise.

2. I think it would be easy, but like I said I don’t know how good you are with coding. Originally I had FlexSlider, but went with Nivo as most people prefer it due to all the more advanced options and sliding styles.

3. This is really easy. And I think people are crazy to tell you that you need to delete and re-post as it should never be the case. Even if using custom post types you can just change the publish date of the post.

I’ve tested and highly recommend the following plugin for re-arranging any posts/pages:

Looks good! But how does it renders in IE8 and IE7 ? And any plan to make this theme responsive? Then it would be really great!

WPExplorer

You can take a look yourself to see what it looks like. To be honest it really depends on your OS when looking in those older IE versions.

No plans for responsiveness at the moment. Sorry.

Hello WPExplorer,

i really like your themes. great work :)

can you please tell me if i can add additional widgets in your themes. below is the web address of the one i would like to add.

http://www.mymovingreviews.com/move/webmasters/moving-quote-form-generator

i will be very thankful.

best regards, padda

WPExplorer

Hi,

Looks like that widget is a part of the theme and not a stand-alone plugin. I think you have to transfer all the code from one theme to the other, but not quite sure as I’ve never used this quote form before ;(

Sorry I couldn’t be of much help.

Default-user

can i use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-form-creator/screenshots/ this to make my form and use it in your theme.

thnx for support

best regards, padda

WPExplorer

Probably. But I’m not sure what it will look like. You might have to edit the css so it looks good.

I haven’t tested the plugin with the theme though. So I can’t really be certain if it will work or not.
