Is there a way to remove the Flickr plugin from the admin panel? Thanks, I really love this template.
- Jason
from the admin or the page? Either will take some hacking I’m afraid – if you know what you are doing then yes – of course it’s possible.
I figured it out, or at least made it work for me….everything else has been easy so far. Nice work. Thanks again.
Very nice work!
Great hug from Brazil :))
Hi jonathan01,
Great theme!
Before I go ahead and purchase, I wanted to know if it is possible to add a video like in screen-cast page preview in the front/home page instead of the photo slider?
If so, is it easy? can you guide me through it?
Thanks in advance.
Macdeeb
no you can’t put videos in the image slider sorry.
I am a film director and I am looking for a Wp template to use as a site and display sample HD videos of my work. Can “modern Business 3 Dark be used for this. I see under the screencast section in the demo that loading video does seem to work. Any thoughts?
in wordpress you can add video to any post – you just put the embed code in the html supplied from vimeo / youtube etc – so yes – just like my screencasts page
Jonathan thanks for answering. Let me be more specific.
I want to be able to simply embed vimeo and you tube links in the admin tool, and have the same player and look that exists in the still image portfolio. When you click on a link a little flash player pops open and the site dims a bit. It really helps viewers focus in think.
Ideally, I’d also like to embed fla files from my own server.
I’m ready to buy cuz I love the look of your template. I need to make sure it can do these specific things.
Thanks,
tye
The portfolio pages run on prettyphoto – which does support video in popup – however you will have to visit that authors site (link supplied in the documentation) on how to create the effect you want – I have seen other buyers do this. However to have the same player and load your own videos (flv is flash video – fla is the development file for flash and plays in nothing, it is the file you open and create within the flash application for development – FLV is a flash format video that can play in flash players or even media players such as VLC etc) – you will require a xml driven video player (checkout ActiveDen for those flash video players) – pretty photo can open them up etc but the player and xml etc will be dependent on your purchase and situation.
Sorry I can’t help much more, because you are looking really for a custom solution – no premade wordpress template that I know of has an integrated video player as such – it’s always either a plugin or addition – it’s MUCH simpler to just embed codes from vimeo etc where you can customize your players appearance also – you can link any of those thumb images to html, video, flash, another image etc – everything is possible, just how much you want to do yourself or pay someone else to create.
Also it’s very wise to use a service such as vimeo and youtube because it streams from their servers, not yours and they are configured and have the power to stream much better than a regular hosting company.
Sorry for the long explanation but I wanted to ensure you I was understanding and trying to guide you best I can.
Thanks.
Well, this is really a great theme and the instructions are just super but still…I have a problem! Sorry.
The problem is with the blog.
Even if I’ve created the blog page and the “splash_right text” this text keeps being substituted by the new blog news title!
I’ve managed to get it back but…every new post it gets to the same problem.
Please help me.
Paulo
To create the blog article main page splash right you will see that we have a sticky post – it’s in your posts “Welcome to the blog” – that creates the main blog page splash right – if you want it to change – alter that – if you want it to display different ones just add a splash right to your latest post – remove the sticky – it’s very easy and was a tip by a buyer to have a static splash right text message – if you want dynamic simply remove the sticky post
Everything in this theme, as others have said and done is extremely customizable.
Sorry but either I’m doing something really stupid but…no luck here!
You’ve said, “it’s in your posts “Welcome to the blog” – that creates the main blog page splash right”...where? I’ve made the blog page like you’ve said and added the splash_right but every new blog news puts it’s name on top of the splash even if there’s no indication to do that (at least that I see).
Also…and this is another question…I’ve seen in your live example that in your blog page you have…search, tags and a recent posts column…I guess this uses plugins but…which ones? where are instructions for that? I’ve bought the theme yesterday so …I must have the final version.
Sorry for all this questions…I’m still trying to figure all this out. If you want to check how I’m doing look at http://pjphotoblog.com/
Thank you again,
Paulo
Ok…the second issue is solved…I didn’t see the blog options with widgets…so…forget about that one. Still trying to solve the first issue.
All solved! Sorry for bothering you!
Now I will look on other stuff and options but the site is ready for some testing.
Regards,
Paulo
Hello,
May I ask you whether it is possible to name the ‘blog’ page different? Perhaps one of the settings in php? Please help, I really need it to change it for my client.
Thank you, Sean
You can call it what you want – create a new page, call it whatever, default template, choose main page (no parent) and just set it as your blog front page as per the directions – hope that helps!
Thanks Jonathan!!
You theme is outstanding!!
Hi Jonathan,
How easy would replacing the main nav be? Is there simple add-on or a script I can modify to make it happen? or does it require some extensive hacking to do so?
Thank you, Sean
Hello Jonathan,
I am sorry for the frequent questions.
I just got this theme and I am very excited that it is a great theme. However, I am trying to figure out how I can change the order of main navigation menu options.
Please help.
Thank you, Sean
Just like you normally would? Set the order number of your pages in admin.
Haha.. Thanks Jonathan. I really appreciate your very fast response.
One last question, hopefully.
Can I have drop down main navigation menu?
Thank you, Sean
Not without replacing my lavalamp based navigation – that doesn’t support drop downs – but others users just changed it to something else similar to superfish and have drop downs – your choice of course.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for your prompt reply.
How easy is it to replace the menu? Will be a just simple css or a php page I will have to modify? Or, will it require me to extensively hack your theme files?
I really appreciate your help in advance, please let me know if there is any recommendation or advise you could provide me.
Thank you, Sean
themeforestid,
It is quite simple to change the menu. I used ddsmoothmenu from dynamic drive. You only need to change a few variables in the Header.php and header-home.php files. You will need to add the .css file in the head section and add the .js files for the new menu and have the script load in the head also. Then add the divs in the body section where it says at the bottom. You will have to change in the code where it says “wp_list_pages” to depth=2 so generate the drop down. You MUST , however, remove the .js that has to do with lavalamp out of the head sections. It’s like lavalamp.min.js.js or something to that regard and js.js.
here is how it works: http://nostalgicimagery.com
Thank you for sharing your experience with the other buyers @nostalgicimagery – most appreciated!
Hi Jonathan brilliant work.
please can you tell me why the slider or the subject sections do not appear.
what have i done wrong?
vj
It’s rather impossible to see what you have done wrong when I cannot see what you have already done
I suggest you start again and follow the very detailed instructions provided in the extensive pdf documentation and the supplemental video tutorials that explain everything you need to do to get things up and running – which should take about 10 minutes max from downloading the files.
Sorry but i can’t embbed videos! Appears only the embedding text, not the real video! Would you help me?
Thanks,
www.truewhy.com
I do not see your purchased ribbon.
Yes, because my webdesigner (SchPeter) purchased the template, but I am the owner of the truewhy saloon homepage, and I don’t want to disturb him.
No problem, I will ask him again because of my problems and of course I would like to download the upgrades too.
Thanks,
Hi Jonanthon
for your quick response yesterday. i am struggling with changing the cache file permission.
PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND !!!!!!!!!!
thanks buddy
I can’t help you change the permissions on a folder on your server – just google or contact your host to help – all good ftp programs allow chmod permissions – it’s a very simple thing to do.
If you can’t do it via ftp program or cpanel etc then contact your host and ask them to do it for you.
Thanks
Hi Jonathan, I can confirm what chiliba wrote. He is the owner of the site though (for some reason) I paid for the theme. Is there anybody who are using any video player plugin in this theme? I tried simple flash video plugin but it doesn’t work. Thanks Peter
Hi – you just need to paste the embed code supplied by youtube, vimeo etc etc in to your blog post – use the html editor – obviously the visual editor will not allow you to paste html code in
Hi, I found this is a problem with the simple flash video plugin. I discussed it in another forum. Thanks again, Peter
Hi Jonathon
thanks for the feedback buddy.
once again brilliant design work. all good things have a great mind and a creator behind it.
Let’s give praise to the God who gave us the mind this easter season.
thanks again.
Hey Jonathan… thanks for sending out the new updates & fixes on this theme. I LOVE how my client’s website is turning out.
Quick question for you… where do I go to add the text for the “splash right” area of each page?
It’s probably something easy, but I missing it.
Thanks a bunch! Cynthia
Yeah it’s actually in the documentation and the videos – you place it in the splash right section when creating a page – see page 11 the section named “Adding your text at the top of the internal pages” or check out the direct video link also supplied in that section in your installation manual – it’s basically in the “Custom Fields” section when creating or editing a page
Have fun!

Hey Jonathan, I carefully followed your instructions and as I am an experienced worpress user, I am quite sure that I did no major things wrong or forgot anything.
There ist a problem: After working through the instructions the HOME Page seems to have some CSS Problems. Missing background images etc.
You can see it right here:

I would be glad if you throw an eye on it for a short diagnosis.
