Hi there,

I love this item and would like to purchase but I have two questions. How many pages am I able to have? Also, can I replace the “bubble background image” with something of my own and can the area for the company name be increased in height at all? I appreciate your help with this matter. Thanks

jonathan01

Hi and thanks for the questions – not sure which section etc you mean by number of pages but if you mean galleries you can create multiple etc same with the blog etc you can swap out the backgrounds quite easily – just open the original image files (one for front and one for inner) and replace using the same name to whatever you would like. Yes you can have a larger logo area you will need to just change the css container for the logo to a larger size for any style sheet used on those pages.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan,

I actually purchased your item this morning before you responded. I’d been searching for 6 months for a template and was VERY excited to find yours. Thanks for making such an attractive template!!!

I’ll try and clarify what I meant a little better, I’m new to websites so please forgive me for not knowing the proper terms. :)

By the number of pages I meant pages like “about” “services” etc. How many can I have and I am able to change the title of those pages, correct?

I plan to purchase your matching email template as well as soon as I have this set up, again I can’t stress how much I love it!

Thanks!

jonathan01

Well that’s awesome – thanks for the purchase and so happy you like it. Yes because it is wordpress then you can create your own pages etc etc – it’s very easy – call them what you would like etc You should read the installation manual and watch the videos they will help guide you – any issues then please contact me via the contact form on my profile page.

The only constraints you would have for the number of pages is the same with any site – you have a horizontal menu system that goes from left to right – it has a finite amount of space – that’s it really :)

Glad you like everything!

Hi Jonathan,

I just wanted to thank you once more for all of your help. I really appreciate you being so helpful considering all of my questions and difficulties due to the fact that I am new to website. It was VERY much appreciated.

One last thing… I’ve almost completed my site, but I am wondering about something. On the live view here it shows an image on the home page for “availability” and “contact us” in the bottom right corner, but on my template I only have the link. Where could I go to upload images for those links as I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks again!

I lied (so sorry), one more question. Is there a way for me to change the font for headers and text? If so, how do I do it and can I do all the headers at once and all the text at once or is it done separately for all pages?

jonathan01

Hey @ddpv – no worries – it’s actually explained in the installation manual on how to show the button / contact us – “Widget Time” page 5 – see the code for the text box where I provide the code and ask you to change the URL to your own.

As for headers – you will need to change these in the css file – look for the headers h1 etc and change the settings there – make sure you change all h1 h2 etc – other than that you can use a cufon plugin for wordpress (wp-cufon – is awesome) – there you can upload a single font and then target every heading style in one go – no need to edit the style sheets if not comfortable – it would really be a super easy way – otherwise crack open the css files – hunt for the heading classes and change – hope that helps!

I actually did enter that code as it shows on page 5 but it just leaves me with the words contact me and available but not the pictures… not sure why…

I’m wondering if you could check www.thedrunkendonkey.com/wordpress and tell me what is going on with the color in the bottom section of the pages, it’s not fading out how it should be. Did I change something mistakenly??

jonathan01

Are you using the first version of the theme? Without the blog additions? There were some fixes but it’s a little complex to let you know what they all are – that is why the bottom doesn’t stretch all the way down.

Do me a favor though please – can you use the form on my profile page to contact me – these threaded comments here on the site are terrible – I can’t reply properly etc – if you have any more questions – thanks so much!!

Actually – for some reason the image you have for the footer area is from the first version not the latest?? The latest one has the gradient to stop this happening – unless you altered some code which broke something.

Is there by any chance to load your pictures quickly;that is open time show be less like in http://themeforest.net/item/photography-and-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/82048

and how many pictures can it take

jonathan01

Not sure I fully understand your question – the loading of images depends on the speed of your server, number of people viewing that page, your internet connection and how much you optimize your images, plus if you use PNG or JPEG – that’s kinda too many factors and depends on the user. The slider accepts 5 images from admin panel as described in the videos and the manual – thanks

I loved your templete very much,i have a confusion between your templete and http://themeforest.net/item/photography-and-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/82048

my doubt is if you see it the picture to picture transitions or the time lag when i click next on the picture in your demo;in other words the waiting time is more,where as in other template ,it is negligible.

to let you know i have unlimited bandwidth and unlimited views on my hositing.

Also how many pictures can i put in the gallary without crashing cause,I have almost 5000 pics to upload i will have a lot more in future.

3) can i increase the number of pictures in slider to unlimited or 20 or more atleast.

jonathan01

Seriously 5000 pictures in a slider – I don’t recommend ANY template for that – use flickr.

Rather than try and get a template to fit it sounds like you want a custom solution – I would recommend that.

Also bandwidth and unlimited views has nothing to do with it – trying to load 5000 pictures in to a slider will cause anything to crash – that’s why we have places such as flickr and picaso – best to host your entire collection there – this is meant as a place to highlight your best work, not your entire hard drive full of images. As for timing that is set in the javascript – you can make it faster but why? Then it’s too fast for people to appreciate gorgeous images!?

As I already said – 5 images on slider – we have galleries for larger amounts of pics in the portfolio section – but again I do not recommend putting anywhere near that amount of images in any site.

Maybe best to look for another solution mate.

Hello,

This template is absolutely fantastic and VERY easy to customize. Jonathan did a wonderful job on this. We have our site just about finished and could not be happier with the result. The custom nav menu (I changed it to a different one than the lava lamp) has a slight rendering issue that I am currently trying to fix, but other than that it’s pretty darn good.

Just buy this template and enjoy it!

Check out what we have done with it: http://nostalgicimagery.com

Thanks,

Jason

jonathan01

Hi Jason – thanks very much for leaving such a nice comment – I’m so happy you enjoy the theme and wish you all the very best with your fantastic new site, and amazing photography – great job!

Hello, I purchased this great theme, but Im having an issue with the blog page. Every new post appears full on the blog page, instead of summarizing and placing the “read more” button. Thanks in advance for your help.

jonathan01

Hi and thanks for the purchase – If you only want a certain amount of your post to appear on the main blog page all you need to do while editing or creating your post is click the “more” tag in the WYSIWYG (or visual editor) – if you use the html editor then simply add the tag by typing this where you wish to add the break or split your post / article:

<!-more->

You can see a full walk-thru of this on the Wordpress site here:

in this case could you help me to make the contact submit button to work? :-D no idea on how configure that!

jonathan01

It should work right out of the box if you have php5 running on your server (which you should – if not contact your host and ask them to switch you over – they shouldn’t be running php4 anyways) – if that’s not the case make sure you uploaded everything and set your admin email address in Wordpress – finally if nothing still works check with your host that phpmailer is running correctly – another couple of buyers had issues and found that the phpmailer on the server wasn’t either installed / switched on or working / configured correctly – contacting the host fixed their issues.

If nothing else, contact me via my contact form on my profile page – we’ll get it working :)

Hi, I asked the provider for help and they told me to replace some codes on the class-phpmailer, as follows on this link (in portuguese): http://wiki.locaweb.com.br/pt-br/Por_que_o_WordPress_n%C3%A3o_est%C3%A1_enviando_emails_no_Windows%3F

Still, the submit button is clicable but nothing happens… :-/

Need some help on that, thanks.

jonathan01

Hi again – I can’t really help you because all the script does is call on the provided mailer script you have – if your host does not have the standard phpmailer setup then it’s their job – not mine or yours – there is nothing fancy or elaborate about what the script does and therefore your host needs to provide support – also I don’t read Portuguese unfortunately so I’m stuck there also – it;s the responsibility of your host to offer script support I’m afraid – contact them again – show them your page and where the mailer.php file is and tell them to get it to work – if they can’t then you may want to look at at host that provides proper support and a properly configured php install.

Hi Jonathan, just to make it sure: the slider image dimension (offered in admin option) 960X337 but for me (in the site) it looks 960X310(?). I used a firefox webdevelop ruler to measure it and also uploaded image with the offered dimension. I can’t see the bottom part of it. The space between the images and the bottom of the splash looks bigger than 13px. Actually 40px. The height of the ol#controls is 28px. Is something wrong in my calculation? Peter

I found: in the style.css there is the height:310px. (udner /* Easy Slider */ for #slider li, #slider2) I changed it and also the header margin bottom 40px to less and it works now.

Your PDF says to email you directly. Sorry for the confusion.

I just emailed you with the gallery problem. Can you please take a look and let me know?

jonathan01

The error is caused due to your host not running php5 which they should be (php 4 was discontinued some time ago) the cleaner gallery plugin requires this (and you should to for security) – simply contact your host and ask them to switch you over to php5 – or there may be a place in your hosting control panel to switch over to php 5 :)

Thanks for using this area – not your fault – I just need to check you purchased and this is the only way.

hey great theme!

But I have a question:

on the Front Page Album Links – how do I point them to a category not a page?

thx!

jonathan01

Hi, you only link to pages as per the drop down – the only other way to do this would be for me to remove the pre-populated drop down and offer a simple text entry so that you can link to anywhere – even off-site – I may do that in the next release but not sure as it may make things harder for less experienced users – I dunno… have to think about that one :)

As for the category page – there is no specific category page – just delete the category.php it will automatically use the blog template then.

I’ll fix this in the next update.

Thanks!

jddvette96

thanks for the help and response I’ll be looking for the update that addresses the fix, thank you again for your time!

btw, I think that including categories might not be a bad idea (advanced user or not), as easy as it is to install this one and with the videos provided to aid that I’m sure a quick video on that will help any beginners figure it out…

Great job on the theme though I love it!

I have another question, more of a problem really, forgive me if you have addressed this before, but when I click on categories link in the blog everything is shifted up and rearranged. Did I goof something up in the code?

here is the the problem:

I checked portfolio page with Opera 10.10 (Linux) and realised that the images (though they are using effect) are not resized. They are full sized. Any idea?

jonathan01

not sure – they are done via wordpress :) plus opera on linux isn’t exactly on the top list of browsers – I would check on the wordpress forums why you have this issue – as I said wordpress built in thumbnailer creates those so it may be a core issue possibly.

Can the slider be configured to fade in and out?

Hi – no it’s slider only – however here is the JS authors page to confirm and hack if you are into playing around with JS code :)

Sorry to bug you again, but I noticed that on IE8 your template logo stays constant behind the one you upload through the MB3 Dark admin panel.

I have been able to get rid of it by deleting the logo.png file altogether.

I think its in the header.php file in this line of code

<?php if ($logopath = get_option(‘vn_logo’)){ ?> logo <?php } else { ?> logo <?php } ?>

I don’t know though (It may just have been a fluke) I don’t know PHP but I thought I’ve give you as much as I can about it. I’m just not sure what’s going on. FF looks great it’s just IE8 that it showed up.

thx for your help!

jonathan01

Thanks for the report – I am releasing a new version in the next few days and will hunt this out and fix – will also fix a few other small issues that have been reported by a few buyers.

You can simply replace the default logo for a quick fix by uploading directly to your server – replace:

/wp-content/themes/mb3_dark/img/logo.png

Make sure you replace with a png file – same name – then it can’t try and use the default. If you do that the home and inner pages all use that same image.

As I said it will be fixed in a few days with the new release. Thanks for reporting it!

jonathan01

I have updated the download files – waiting for review – it’s a simple fix and anyone who needs to know what to do to make the fixes I will place the directions in the FAQ of this item once I know that the new download files are available from the reviewers. You will just need to remove 1 file and replace a few css style sheets for IE only – nice and easy :)

Like I said ONCE I know they are through the queue I will post here and put directions on the FAQ section so you don’t need to do an entire re-install of the theme.

Thanks to everyone for your fantastic support, messages and reporting the very few little bugs – you’re great!

  • Bought between 1 and 9 items

Thanks for the heads up on the future fix/update I did too experience the logo issue. Since I’m new here (just purchased your theme yesterday), how does one obtain the new version once it’s available. I’m sorry it’s such a basic question.

Also one more question, what would be the best way to have the menus drop down (cascading) into submenu items for example

Portfolio—> Portraits Maternity Senior Portraits

Thanks again

jonathan01

Hi and thanks for the question: I will post a nice big message on the item description once the new version has been reviewed and available – you can then go to your purchases and simply re-download – nice and easy. The fixes are simple and will not destroy anything you may of already created and will provide update instructions for those who don’t want to do a re-install – I’ll post those in the FAQ section for everyone telling you what to do – again I’ll mention this with my message so you know it’s available.

You will need to replace the current lavalamp menu system with one that supports drop downs and do a little work – other users have done this though so yes it’s totally possible but if you are not comfortable with JS / CSS etc then I suggest hiring someone to do it for you – shouldn’t cost much if you need it and I can provide recommendations (I can’t do it because I’m swamped with work sorry)

THanks again for the question and thanks for buying! :)

Hello,

This looks like a great template but just had a few questions regarding the blog.

1. Can I post pictures, full-width, in a blog post? 2. Can I post multiple pictures in a blog post? 3. Can I have the blog as my homepage? Preferably under the slider?

Lastly, in regards to Galleries – is it possible to create a gallery that will be password protected?

Thanks!

jonathan01

Hi – yes you can post images as many as you want in a post – the full size I am not sure I understand – you have a space of 600px (from memory) for the main blog content area so yes you can fill the entire area and as many as you want.

If you want to place the blog under the slider that will involve some serious work however as the home is a different template to the blog (obviously) – but it’s wordpress and most things are possible – just depends on how good you are at customizing – you can always hire someone to work on this for you however.

As for a password protected gallery – not sure – maybe there is a plugin? I’m not a heavy wordpress user so I’m not sure – but I would of thought so – thanks!

jonathan01

If others work then it’s working :) – you will probably find that you haven’t posted on twitter for a certain amount of time – Twitter’s own API feed will only show tweets from a certain time amount – therefore add your twitter name and save – next go to twitter and post something to test – you will then no doubt see it show up :)
