Hello there! Nice theme you got out there.
I’m thinking on buying it, but I needed some customizations. After purchasing the theme, can I mod it? Are there any restrictions?
Thank you!
Hi there,
You’re free to make any edits to the theme that you like. There are no restrictions on how you can make changes to it
Best,
Chris
Hey, great theme, i had a few questions about it though that i wanted to ask before buying it.
1) Can i make it so that music starts playing when one enters the site? 2) Will Soundcloud Players be viewable on blog posts? 3) Can i add download buttons to photos i have in a gallery? 4) Can I add a Store (Commerce) Section to my site in this theme?
Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi there,
1. Yes, there are instructions for this on the support forum.
2. Any embeddable content should display as they would on any WordPress site. I haven’t tried Soundcloud, though, so I can’t say for sure.
3. The gallery is displayed on a normal page using the built-in gallery system of WordPress. You could add buttons above/below the gallery.
4. I’m sure you can using a plugin, but there isn’t a built-in feature for this.
Hope that helps!
Chris
Hi, if the blog i done through the tag “blog” is it possible to have multiple blogs on theis template, i rather like the blog layout and want to use it for 2 or 3 pages.
Hi there,
This theme uses the category name “blog” to display blog posts a certain way. As a result, the naming is important for the category layout. I can provide instruction for how to apply that layout to multiple categories though.
Thanks!
Chris
Thanks Chris! I bought this theme through a Bundle, Now i know the at support is not part of that bundle; but i would so much appreciate if you could explain how to create multiple blogs in Nocturnal
Hi there,
Unfortunately I’m unable to provide support to users who purchased through the bundle. It would be unfair to the other 10,000+ users who purchased the bundle.
Additionally, I have no way of verifying users actually purchased the bundle.
Hope you understand!
Chris
Sure I understand Chris, I don’t mean to pressure my case. But is there no manual or readme i could refer to about this, if there isn’t i wont stress this issue any more, once again thanks for your help.
Hi there,
I will just note that most of the styling is achieved via CSS . If I recall correctly (off the top of my head), in the stylesheet, if you locate styles that start with something like “body.category-blog”, you can just copy that and change “blog” to whatever category you’re using.
If that doesn’t help, for customizations that are beyond the help file and require additional code, I typically refer users to my customization form here: http://themolitor.com/custom
Hope that helps!
Chris
Thanks a Lot, You are a great man!
This works like a charm!
All the Best to you and your work!
My Blog does not look right. Followed the instructions but can’t figure it out. You can see it at: http://lindaleethomas.com/ Thank you
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing!
Try adding a widget title to the search widget. The design of this theme depends on having widget titles to help separate the widgets and see when the next one begins.
If you need additional support, please create a thread on my support forums: http://themolitor.com/forums
Thanks!

Hi,
Love the theme! One thing I wish it had was a way to make the tracks in the player soundcloud embeds rather than uploading mp3s. Any plans for that in the future?
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing! No plans to incorporate Soundcloud. Sorry. This theme was intended to be a self-sustaining audio WordPress theme will little dependence on third-party tools/APIs.
Thanks!
Chris
Hi there,
The demo shows 2 different categories of posts on the home page. I created 1 category for the main slider and a 2nd category for the smaller slider. It’s handy if you want to draw attention to new albums/songs AND events/concerts.
Hope that makes sense!
Chris
wow. it’s the best thing i’ve ever seen. i just have 2 questions.
what happens with posts or post categories that i don’t have pictures for? i ask cuz a lot of themes are very dependent on pictures and i have categories like ‘lyrics’ where pictures don’t make sense.
the player on the top left, does it support a playlist? or can it only play 1 song? and if so is there some other nice way to include a playlist that you know of?
thanks!
Hi there,
Thanks for the nice words!
I see the 2nd question has been addressed. Regarding 1st question…
I would recommend using stock from PhotoDune images if you don’t have any. Part of the reason themes are so picture heavy/dependent is because it really provides the best user experience and just looks nice. Entertainment websites with plain text and nothing else tend to be pretty boring experiences.
Hope that helps!
Chris
sorry, just saw the video walk-through and the playlist question has been answered
Thanks for following up!
Hello, love this theme… i have a few questions: I need that the home page, show only an image, songs, and donst show, any textr area or read more stuff.. How i can make a video galery, ussing videos from youtube. i think it can be done? Tnxs a lot! keep the good WORK !!!! cheers i.

hi- thanks for the great theme! Everything works great but my site is not working in internet explorer (it looks terrible!) What can I do to fix this? The site is: http://dukdesign.com/lani/
I have spent hours trying to figure this out Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi! I’ve buyed and downloaded the theme.. But after I’ve installed and activate it I can’t see any “Theme Options” voice under the “Appearance” menu.. Can you tell me why? thanks.
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing! You need to install the OptionTree plugin. For details, please refer to the help file. There are setup instructions there.

I’m getting a lot of comment spam. I’ve tried multiple captcha plugins, but nothing shows up on the site. Any plans to include a spam solution in a future update?
Hi there,
Thanks for purchasing!
Spam is not something related to the theme. That has to do with WordPress. They have a plugin called Akismet you might want to try.
Again, this isn’t something the theme has control over.
Thanks!
Chris
Hi

This theme is pretty awesome! I want to buy it, but have a quick question… would it be fairly easy to change it so the main (big) events auto slide and the smaller ones have to be scrolled manually? Thanks. E
Hi there,
With the way Nocturnal is setup, the home page uses AJAX to load the next/prev post when you click the arrows at the top of the page. Since AJAX is being used, the amount of time it takes for the next post to appear varies depending on internet speed and the size of the images you’re using.
For example, I click the arrow and the next post appears in 2 seconds. I click it again and the next post appears in 3 seconds. On a different machine/location, I click the arrow and the post appears in 5 seconds – maybe you see where I’m going with this…
Since AJAX is used, there is no way to KNOW how long the post will take to load. If an auto-rotation feature was applied, this could cause known and unknown issues to occur – such as the slide appearing and then a second later the next slide appears, etc. etc.
Conclusion:
Auto-rotation is NOT an option/recommended because it uses AJAX .
Thanks!
Chris
We’re ready to take our site live, but are still having problems with navigation of the main slider content—only the first and last post will show, the main slider area goes blank if we try to navigate to any other post.
Our site is at: http://www.sandhandle.com
We’ve re-installed the entire Wordpress theme to make sure there wasn’t some residual glitch.
Our site is hosted by Yahoo, using PHP 5 .2 and MySQL 5.0.
Please advise on what we can do to troubleshoot.
(Also, the navigation arrows for both the Main as well as the Mini Sliders still do not appear in Firefox for Macintosh.)
Thanks!
Hi there,
It seems to work fine from here: http://sandhandle.com/blog/
This is likely an issue with how you have your URL structure setup. Make sure http://www.sandhandle.com and http://www.sandhandle.com/blog are properly configured on your settings page in the WordPress dashboard.
Hope that helps!
Chris
...Regarding the arrows, I’m seeing them just fine on my Mac running FireFox. I would recommend making sure you have the latest version of the browser.
Thanks!
Chris
I Like to buy this theme, before I do it I have a question, I see this theme uses the category name “blog” to display blog posts a certain way. As a result, the naming is important for the category layout can I change that and use a different name to display the blogs? – Cheers!
Hi there,
I can provide instructions for that. You basically just need to go through and replace “blog” in a couple places with the name you want to use.
Thanks!
Chris
Hello, you can duplicate the small slider and put it right ¿?

Chris
can this handle self hosted flv/mp4 videos?
Hi there,
Aside from what WordPress supports natively, the theme doesn’t have built-in features to manage that specifically. I’m sure there are plugins for that, though.
Thanks!
Chris
Hello,
I bought your theme via “Web Designer Pro Bundle”.
I tried registering on the forum but my code does not work.
How can I do?
Thank you in advance for your answer
Hi there,
themes purchased through a bundle promotion on ThemeForest are not eligible for support or updates (as stated in the bundle item description).
Sorry.
Chris
ah okay, I do not know, sorry.
Just one question please, I feel I’m missing files for installation. Can I send you the list of files that I have to check that I have any? Please do.
Thank you in advance
Sylvain
Hi there,
I can confirm all files are included.
Thanks,
Chris
