Do I need to be a programmer and understand code to use this template? Andy

Smuliii

No, the basic usage doesn’t require any coding skills.

Hi Smuliii,

When you rollover one of the links in the main navigation at the top of the page you get a highlight bar at the top and a grey background appear.

Is there any way I can turn ‘on’ this effect in the top navigation to have the highlight color and grey background [ like when you rolllover the link ] when you are in a page on that section?

It only highlights for the drop down menu to appear and then once you have clicked to go to a page in that section, it goes back to its resting state – unless you rollover it again.

I would like to visually show my visitors which section they are currently in as this is good usability practice.

Please let me know if I can do this by changing any of the code.

Thanks for your help!

Smuliii

The theme should already highlight the current page, as you can see in my demo site: http://demo.samuli.me/wp/smartstart/columns/

So perhaps you’ve built your navigatoin incorrectly..? Here’s a little guide about WP menus: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/

Hi Smuliii,

Yes I have constructed the menu correctly.

The problem is that all my top level links are ‘static top level tabs’ with a ’#’ for the link and are just titles for the categories – the drop downs hold all the links.

But when you have clicked a link in one of the drop downs it doesn’t highlight these ‘static top level tabs’...

Is there any way I can get the top levels to ‘light up’ when you are in those areas?

Thanks again for taking the time to help me

Gratterpalm

Looking at your online preview of the template your top level menu works fine and it highlights whichever area you are in – it seems to be applying the CSS class:

.current_page_item

to the top menu item that is highlighted.

that is not being applied to my top level menu items or if it is, I can’t see the colour change!

Very puzzling….

Smuliii

I did a bit Googling and I think I’ve now solved the problem.

Check your email! ;)

Gratterpalm

Thank you so much Smuliii

I needed to:

- amend the CSS as you specified - amend the function.php as you specified - reset the ‘Portfolio’ page to another one in the Theme Settings

It all works like a dream now and the theme looks brilliant.

You have a been fantastic help and I really appreciate it!

Smuliii

Great to hear that, thanks! :)

Tabs aren’t working for me on a test page. I have 1 line of content in each of three tabs. The first tab loads it’s content but if I click’s on any of the other tabs it doesn’t show the content?

Smuliii

Have you tried to deactivate all the plugins and see if that makes any difference?

Thanks.

Default-user

Ok it would seem that the Plugin “Google Analytics for WordPress” is conflicting with the tabs. As this is a fairly popular plugin, is there not a way to fix this conflict?

Smuliii

I’m afraid that there isn’t much we can do about it.

I’m having trouble with the menu overlapping elements on my pages.

1. I would like to reduce the height of the menu to visually tighten it up. How do I do this correctly?

2. Some pages are showing up with the page title or text (if no page title) in the menu as well

http://aaronstringer.wpengine.com/portfolio-item/our-favorites/ http://aaronstringer.wpengine.com/photo-booth/ Please advise.

3. How can I completely remove the H1 page title from the portfolio section and the blog such as here:

http://aaronstringer.wpengine.com/portfolio-item/our-favorites/ and here: http://aaronstringer.wpengine.com/category/weddings/

Thanks- -A

Smuliii

1 & 2) The navigation part starts at line 495 in style.css file, so just adjust the appropriate values.

3) You can disable the Page Header in any page by changing the Page Settings, when editing the page.

Thanks.

Hi,

I want to style the .current-page-ancestor the same as .current-page without having to put the children in the menu with a dropdown. Can you help me with the custom css for that? I am messing with it for some time now but i can only get the bgcolor grey, not the green text and borders.

Also if i make a new menu for the footer and add it to the footer with the appearance->menu it keeps on using the normal menu, how is this possible?

Smuliii

1 ) The only thing I can suggest is to just check how I’ve created the navigation in style.css file starting at line 495.

2) Once you’ve created the footer navigation, you can “active” it by adding a Custom Menu widget to the footer

I would like the Isotope filter to open to a selected category and show all categories at once, not just default to the All tab. Possible? If so, how?

Smuliii

Sure, you can link directly to different categories. So for example: http://demo.samuli.me/wp/smartstart/portfolio-category/illustration/

Default-user

how can I make the categories permanently “moused over”—always exploded to see all categories when you log on to the portfolio page?

Smuliii

You can change the display setting (open or closed) in the Theme Options.

Sorry in advance for such a simple question but I’m having trouble editing the homepage slider (from the dummy content). I went to features slider>image URL and chose my own image, edited the button title and description, then previewed it, but nothing changes…

  • Bought between 10 and 49 items

Nevermind, figured it out. The slider didn’t update when I hit preview changes, only when I hit update.

Smuliii

Okay, good.

From a previous comment:
1) Well I don’t think that many buyers actually needs to edit slugs, so I don’t think it’s necessary add those into Theme Options.

This is killing me right now. I need the ability to change the slug for the portfolio, or this theme is useless to me. I’ve gone and changed the 'rewrite' => array('slug'... in custom-post-types.php but now my Portfolio page (which lists all of them) is displaying like the Blog page. Any advice on how to edit the slug so this doesn’t happen would be much appreciated.

Smuliii

I just tried to change it myself, and at least I didn’t have any problems.

See this little screencast which I made just for you: http://www.screenr.com/XvL8 ;)

Thanks.

  • Bought between 10 and 49 items

The quick reply is much appreciated. I did exactly as you have shown, but it isn’t working for me.

It was tough to see in that screencast if the slug for the portfolio list page was the same as the portfolio item page, just without the portfolio item slug appended to it. Here is what I’m trying to setup:

Portfolio page: /lawyers/ (will show the portfolio list) Portfolio item page: /lawyers/lawyer-name/ (will show the portfolio item) However right now when I visit /lawyers/ I get the archive template, and not the portfolio list. I have a page created with the slug “lawyers” and the [portfolio] shortcode in place. This seems to be completely ignored, however. Going to /lawyers/lawyer-name/ gives me the portfolio item page as expected.

I am able to change the slug rewrite to simple “lawyer” (instead of lawyers) and it works fine. So I’m guessing the problem lies in the fact that /lawyers/ is matching the slug rewrite and the theme is thinking it is an archive page before it can even do any of the Portfolio stuff.

Thanks

Smuliii

Well yeah, that’s the problem. You can’t have two different “pages” with the same name.

But if you really need that setup, you may want to check this topic: http://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/9568/solved-custom-post-type-with-same-slug-as-page/p1

Hi, I want to buy this template but I have a previous question. The web must be multilanguage. Do you know if wpml multilanguage is supported? I have this template in my first place for the web I´m building… Thanks and congratulations for the template

Smuliii

Yep, WPML should work fine with this theme.

Thanks!

Hello Smuliii ! Hope you’re doing good.. I’ve just bought your theme and it has definitaly a nice potential.

However, I’m facing a funny bug.. When I’m changing the background color using your theme options panel, somehow it affects all the a tags.. And I mean, all of them (see next)

.button, input[type="submit"], input[type="reset"], button, .button:hover, input[type="submit"]:hover, input[type="reset"]:hover, button:hover, .dropcap.dark, #main-nav ul ul a, #main-nav ul ul a:hover, #main-nav ul ul .hover > a, #main-nav ul ul .current > a, #main-nav ul ul .current > a:hover, .ss-slider .slide-button .dropcap, .ss-slider .slide-content h1, .ss-slider .slide-content h2, .ss-slider .slide-content h3, .ss-slider .slide-content h4, .ss-slider .slide-content h5, .ss-slider .slide-content h6, .ss-slider .slide-content .button, #portfolio-items-filter

a { color: #whatever; }

Any quick way to fix it ? I’ve browsed through some of the comments pages here (but not all) and didn’t find any other report about it.

Thanks in advance !

Arnaud.

Smuliii

Hmm… I can see what you mean. I’ll need to take a closer look at it.

But a quick fix would be to open functions/custom-functions.php file and remove lines 1093-1106.

Thanks!

Hi smuliii!

I want to get rid of the space on the top of a “Slider” to top-allign the images with the text. Please scroll down to the bottom of: http://herruwe.com/ilsinger/nachhilfe/

2) Is it possible to place more than one gallery into a page? I had display problems when I tried so.

3) Is it possible to create the “slideshow” shown in your Blog-Section of your theme in a normal page? http://themeforest.net/item/smartstart-wp-responsive-html5-theme/full_screen_preview/2067920 (second post)

Thank YOU !

Smuliii

1) See FAQ #1: http://themeforest.net/item/smartstart-wp-responsive-html5-theme/faq/2067920

You can also try to wrap the whole page with a single [raw][/raw] shortcode.

2) You mean the Portfolio shortcode?

3) Sure, watch this little screencast (different theme but the same principle): http://www.screenr.com/eWvs

Thanks.

Hello! Incredible theme!! How I can put the title background color and price? (Image with black background) Thank you! :)

Smuliii

You can find the Simple Pricing Table header styles in style.css file at lines 1016-1058.

Thanks.

Default-user

Great thanks! I found it, in what code line can i put background color like in the image?

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/web4.gif/

Thanks! :D

Default-user

And how can i remove the “page header” of single projects?

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/99/web6.gif/

Thanks! :)

Smuliii

1) If you mean the left bottom background, you’ll need to edit functions/shortcodes.php file because by default the features list doesn’t have a footer area.

2) You can remove it in single-portfolio.php file.

Default-user

Hi again! Finally I could not do the first part (give background color to the table in the lower left corner), but thanks anyway.

One of the last things left to me would be to eliminate the space between the image top and bottom, as in the image.

Greetings and thanks

Smuliii

I would suggest you to start using Firebug in Firefox (or Chrome’s Web Developer Tools), because they both allow you to find the right section just by clicking it and then you can see the correct line number in the sidebar. So they both eases the development/customization process a lot.

Hello! Thanks for the great theme. I have a question about something, or perhaps need the right direction in fixing a problem.

My navigation menu is setup as a wordpress custom menu. All the parent nav items are simply placeholders. The children are a combination of pages and posts. The problem I’m having is that when I go to a nav item in the navigation that is a post, that post item in the navigation is not highlighted (upon rollover as it normally does with a page) after it’s loaded. Additionally, when a child page (and or hopefully post) is active, I would like to be able to have the parent item in the navigation be highlighted as it would be a good way to keep the user knowing where they are on the site.

If you could get me on the right track with getting this fixed, I’d be very appreciative. Here’s a link. Thanks!

http://deering.liquidweb.com/~tamarac2/tc/western-trip/

fyi: this is a link to a post, which illustrates the issue with it not being highlighted in the nav.

Smuliii

Yeah, this little bug will be fixed in the next update.

But if it’s critical problem for you, send me an email and I’ll give you instructions how to fix it yourself: http://themeforest.net/user/Smuliii#from

Thanks!

Hi, awesome theme! Sorry for the noob question, but how do you reduce the padding between the nav and slider? Or padding between elements?

I would like to tighten up my page.

Thanks, Matt

Smuliii

In case there are a problems with the homepage elements, see FAQ #1: http://themeforest.net/item/smartstart-wp-responsive-html5-theme/faq/2067920

You can also try to wrap the whole page with a single [raw][/raw] shortcode.

I’m struggling to format my content inside of a tab.

I’m attempting to add a couple of intro sentences at the start of my tab, followed by a bulleted list. However the top of the list is positioned right up close against the last line of my intro text. I’ve tried adding a line break but Wordpress strips these out. So I wanted to try and target this with CSS but it is proving difficult as the content is not wrapped in any

tags?

The only way I can think of fixing this is to use a <h> tag directly after a sentence and add some top padding, but this would mean that I’m potentially causing other elements that don’t warrant this top padding to break in the rest of my site.

Any help appreciated.

Quick question: how do I add a menu-item to my topp menu that displays the blog? I tried adding a menu-item with a link to /blog/ but that didn’t help. I also tried add a page with the code [blog] but didn’t work either :-(

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Thomas Petersen

Smuliii

Well first of all, have you set your blog page in the Reading Settings (more info in the documentation)?

After you’ve done that, you can add it to the main menu just as any other page.

Thanks.

Default-user

Doh! I only the homepage, now that the blog page is set, everything works.

Thanks!

Hi!

Love this theme! One question about video. Youtube video in iframe do not show in iphone. What to do?

Regards, Olah

Smuliii

Since there isn’t any YouTube videos in my demo, can you give me your site URL so I can take a look at it?

Thanks!

Default-user

I don’t know what iframe I used earlier but this seem now to work:

<iframe class=”youtube-player” type=”text/html” width=”696” height=”392” src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/YOUTUBE_ID” frameborder=”0”> </iframe>

Smuliii

Well good to hear if it’s working properly now!
