New update is online December 18, 2012

We had to update our ThunderColumns since we had a bug (”-” instead of ”_” in the tags) to fix.

Please update the sevent/functions/thundercodes/thundercolumns_plugin.php file via ftp or by other means of your choice.

I love the look of this!

Some questions:

1. I would prefer the theme without the long horizontal colour bar beside the main menu or the social buttons above. Would it be possible to take out the social buttons and the long bar beside the main menu and to move the menu to where the social buttons are now, in line with the logo? This would enable a tighter height for the header.

2. On rollover the images currently have the magnifying glass and the link icon. Is it possible to remove both of these and instead on rollover to make the entire image area linkable to the page?

3. Can the breadcrumb links and bar be taken out?

4. How flexible is the homepage? Is it built with widgets or shortcodes?

5. I see that a default serif font (times new roman) appears in the search field – can this be changed to the theme font or arial?

Thanks!

Thunderbuddies

Thanks!

1.+2. This is only possible with some freelance work.

3. Yes, via Theme and Page Options.

4. Shortcodes, the “Home Page” Page template has a fullwidth slider on top. If you use the “Content” Page template you can insert a (non-fullwidth) slider via short code.

5. You could do this with a simple tweak in our “Custom CSS” option.

Hey there. I am working with the theme and LOVE the simplicity of doing so. I have hit a slight issue in that I cannot find how to set an image as background and also I cannot edit the footer colours and breadcrumb bar. Is this possible?

thanks

Thunderbuddies

Hi,

happy you like the theme! As for your issues:

The background image is to be found in the

For changing the colors best practice is to use a child theme or our “Custom CSS” box in “Sevent Options” -> “General” tab:

The color of the breadcrumb can be added like this:
.breadcumbsbg {
   background: #2f2f2f;
}
The color of the footer can be added like this:
.footer {
   background-color: #222;
}
.subfooter {
   background-color: #222;
}

For more little customization issues you could always go to http://freshline.ticksy.com and our support staff will help you.

Hey Brooklynpoppy

I have Sevent running on my mediatemple account and I didn’t noticed anything. It’s runs as fast as my other wp installs with other themes.

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the default (max) width of the theme, for example to 940px?

Thunderbuddies

Hi woodwinked,

that would mean a lot of work since the whole design is related to the bigger width. Basically we do not recommend that. Sorry.

I really like the toggle/accordions that you use to display codes on your shortcodes page. Do they come with the theme?

http://www.thunderbuddies4life.com/sevent/shortcodes

If not, is there a way to integrate those into the theme?

Thunderbuddies

Hi njoyazlife,

yep, all shortcodes are included. The only external WP plugins we use are the Revolution Slider and the Contact Form 7.

Hi there .. the theme is good .. but please update soon , to many little mistakes in short codes , spaces ” ” instead of ”_” , the sidebar is under the content with a video in the posts instead of right or left. The categories of the portfolios or tags cant be filtered in sidebars widgets and some others.. please check and update soon. thank you for the theme. best regards.

Thunderbuddies

Hi LorraMO,

the shortcodes thing is fixed in the latest upload. I will look the other things up asap.

Could you create a ticket at http://freshline.ticksy.com so we can work through your issues? That would be awesome of you!

Rev slider appears to have stopped working since WP 3.5 update. Is there a way of fixing this?

Thunderbuddies

Hi ryanjforster,

is there maybe something else breaking the slider (another plugin’s not 3.5 compatible JS code often causes this)? It was build for WordPress 3.5. Could you send us an admin account to http://freshline.ticksy.com so we can have a quick look?

If you want to improve the performance of scrolling : remove box-shadows. ;-)

Thunderbuddies

Thanks for the Heads-Up for the other clients!

Please remember folks: You can easily change the theme’s CSS using a child theme or the “Custom CSS” box inside our theme backend.

Why you don’t take the awesome “Visual Composer for WordPress” to build the sites? Handling with shortcodes in editor is very frustrating..

Thunderbuddies

We think about using VC in one of our next themes where the shortcodes will better fit to this builder.

So long we recommend using our ThunderCodes and ThunderColumns buttons that help you a little bit with the use of WordPress shortcodes.

Hi

I have a client who wants a website comprising entirely dark colours.

How are background, menu, font colours and background images changed in the theme? Would any of these colour or background changes be over written if the theme is updated?

Thanks

Pete

Thunderbuddies

Hi Pete,

you could choose the basic one of the two dark predefined skins and the rest via CSS. You could use a child theme for that (recommended for WordPress Customizations) or our “Custom CSS” box in the options for a quick solution. All mentioned things will remain untouched by updates.

Hi there,

Happy New Year to you. Love this theme, looking forward to working with it!

One problem I’ve had since installing the theme (on localhost). I imported the dummy content. I have then created some pages and my own menu in Appearance>Menus. I have selected my new menu as the main navigation menu and clicked save but nothing changes on the front end. I still see the dummy content menu. I can’t work out why this is happening so any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Simon

Thunderbuddies

Hi sjrickwood,

very unusual! Could you try to rename your Menu to “Main”?

Regards, tb

Default-user

Hi Thunderbuddies. I went to the header.php file and changed the name of the menu in there and that seemed to do the trick!

Another problem I’m having though is with the Revolution Slider. I’ve got a image that measures 960×450. The slide looks fine when I set it up and preview it. But when I look at it on the front end it is cut off at the bottom when I have the slider type as full width. When I change the slider type to responsive, it doesn’t get cut off.

Hope that makes sense! In short – slider images getting cut off at the bottom when slider type is Full Width. Any ideas?!

Cheers

Default-user

One more thing. In the revolution slider how can I get the button links to look like they do in the demo theme? At the moment the only options are for ones with drop shadows which I don’t like. I’d like the clean embossed looking button links you have on the demo here at thereforest. Thanks

Thunderbuddies

Hi again,

the view depends on the actual width your window has. Best way to put images in a fullwidth slider is to use pics that are not or not much heigher than the max height. For example we use 1240×550px pics for our fullwidth slider with a slider grid 1170×500 in the preview.

Regards, tb

Thunderbuddies

Hi again again,

for the buttons you could use a shortcode inside a text layer:


[bs_button url="http://themeforest.net/item/sevent-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/3598463?ref=Thunderbuddies" class="primary medium" ] Buy Sevent now on ThemeForest [/bs_button]

Hi,

Is there a facility for adding an image gallery on this theme? In one of my portfolios I would like to add a scrollable gallery. At the moment if I set the portfolio type to image the featured image appears when I click through to the portfolio but I want to be able to add a scrollable gallery here, similar to the one I have on my current site – http://www.bangbangcreative.co.uk/portfolio/sisin-photo-shoot/

Is this, or something similar possible to do with the theme? I hope so as in most portfolios you will want to show a lot more than one image!

Many thanks

Simon

Thunderbuddies

Hi Simon,

you could use the Slider Revolution included in this theme. Just create your slider and include it as post type “Slider” or with the provided shortcode.

If that’s not what you were looking for we recommend using an other plugin from CodeCanyon or wordpress.org for that since you can (like with the Revolution Slider) keep your galleries when switching the theme in the future. Having that build in would make you loose the data and rebuild it all again.

Another issue…

sevent/functions/thundercodes/thundercolumns_plugin.php

The shortcodes for making columns is messed up.

Example:
[one_half]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/one_half]

[one_half last]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/one_half]

It should be:

[one_half]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/one_half]

[one_half_last]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/one_half_last]

Thunderbuddies

Thanks for the heads-up!

This is a good theme so far.

Any modifications can easily be done through massaging the code.

The only think I hate is have to load the XML file to see how stuff works.

I would rather have better documentation

Good work nonetheless…here is my project so far on this theme.
