The Arcadian Responsive WordPress Theme

Will the future versions allow us to customize the Gallery? I would like to make it look like the homepage Portfolio.

No, I have no plans for that.

And I’ve also had issues with the portfolio not displaying 3 images on the bottom row after scrolling down and then back up.

I see what you mean. This appears to only be an issue in Firefox and I will definitely look into it.

This is proving to be a difficult things to fix with the responsiveness of the theme.

If you put this into the Custom CSS option on your theme options page, does it fix the issue for you?

.tj_container .one_fourth li {height: 146px;}

Ok, great. Working over here, too. What this means I’ll need to have specific heights figured out for every potential location the portfolio module could end up within the theme. So, I’ll have this setup for the next update.

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the plugin or how it works.

I’m really sorry to hear you’re having problems. We strive to use all of the most modern code practices in order for our themes to work as well with what’s out there in the WordPress community as possible. However there are an infinite amount of WordPress plugins out there and we simply cannot guarantee that all 3rd-party plugins will work perfectly with each theme we create. This is just the reality of mixing different themes and different plugins. Not everything is going to work perfectly together, and it’s possible that you may have to do some tweaks on your end to get the desired results you want for your site.

Sorry there is nothing built-in to the theme to allow you to do this with custom layouts. These would code customizations you’d nee to make from your child theme. See the Code Customizations section of your docs for a map of all the hooks used in these places.

Here’s the guide to adding your own javascript in. You’d do what’s described here from your child theme. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script

(See the docs for a video on child themes)

Sorry but as shown in the Item Details, this theme is not compatible with IE7 .

Ok. Thank you. Hopefully, it’s just our company who is backward enough to still be using an outdated browser.

You’re tying to install the entire zip package you downloaded from ThemeForest, but you need to install the theme found inside.

This video will walk you through the installation process:

Hi. The main flex slider area that fits the width of the theme. I’d like to make this smaller so that I can have a widget positioned to the right of it.

There is no slider area. I think you’re talking about the “Featured” area of the layout builder. A slider is simply going to be as wide as whatever container it sits in. Why not just use the colums element with the slider shortcode in one column and a floating widget area in the other.

That’s what I needed. Great. this really is a flexible theme. Thank you.

I’m sorry I’m kind of lost at what your’e trying to describe. Can you configure the settings to show the excerpt so I can see the actual problem?

This is the original Post (http://www.mcfornc.org/swimteam/?p=64). I created two columns within the post using the column functionality that you have provided in the blog.

Check out the post excerpt: http://www.mcfornc.org/swimteam/blog/ There is no excerpt showing up.

Shortcodes I am using for that particular blog page: & [one_third last]............[/one_third]

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks, Deep

Maybe WordPress can’t generate an excerpt automatically from what you’re putting into the post. Did you try manually writing excerpts?

I believe that’s IE7 , which the theme isn’t compatible with. Please post a link to your site and I can confirm.

Yup, you’re using IE7 in that screenshot. This is what your site looks like in IE8 :

Sorry I’m not really sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?

Put this in the custom CSS option on your theme options page.

@media (max-width: 480px) {
#access {display:none;}
.responsive-nav {display:block;padding:5px 5px 15px 5px;text-align:center;}
}

Every website design is different, and that’s why those tools are so useful. In this design, each horizontal section has different background images so it wouldn’t be possible for it to all be just attached to the body tag.

I appreciate your help. I have another issue now. The site I’m creating has a long way to go (http://jefflilley.com/haus96/) but I noticed that when I resize it the navigation text doesn’t decrease in size like in the demo, nor does it it turn into a dropdown menu when when even smaller, which I’d like it to do.

Also, the image there doesn’t resize proportionally when resized.

Any help you can provide with these issues would be great. Thanks.

This is due to the custom CSS you’re adding. In your custom.css file you’re adjusting the styles of the buttons, which comes after the theme has styled them for mobile devices. So that overwrites things. I know you’re copying the CSS from the theme’s files, but you need to be careful what you’re copying there. If you’re going to take this approach, you could also I guess copy what’s in the responsive.css file, as well to come after what you have in custom.css.

And your images not re-sizeing properly is because you’re putting in a height/width on your HTML . Read here under the Image Example: http://www.themeblvd.com/demo/arcadian/features/responsive-design/

Hey, try putting in the Custom CSS option of your theme options page:

img {
    max-width: 100%;
    width:auto!important;
    height:auto!important;
}

Now insert an image with WordPress’s method of adding height/width. Does that work on your end?

For CSS changes, it’s a good idea to use a tool like firebug or Google Chrome’s built-in developer tools to locate them and then put the edits either in your child theme or in the “Custom CSS ” option on your theme options page.

Also, here’s a helpful tutorial on how to use Firebug – http://vimeo.com/20917974. The only thing I’d suggest not doing is actually making edits to the theme’s CSS files, as it shows at the end of that video. However, the video serves as a good introduction to Firebug and how it can be used to find what CSS is effecting certain areas of your site without ever digging around in any files.

Thanks! If you happen to hear about any changes they are making to their mod_security, please let me know. I can’t get the company were renting a server from to up any of the restrictions, so if there is anything I can do on my end or relay to them it’d be appreciated!

First of all, if you just disable mod security, all of that goes away, however I understand many hosts feel really strongly that you should have it running.

So in the other cases, what it seems the other people were able to do is just call their web host and ask them to check their error logs for the times they’re getting any 500 internal errors, and the hosts are able to just quickly see what’s causing the issue for their particular setup and write in rules to make sure those specific errors don’t keep happening. Have you tried actually talking with your host to look at the specific errors happening?

I’ll check with my biz partner and see if he’s more familiar with editing or removing those files. I do the front end stuff

We’ve been dealing with this problem with our server company for the past 6 days with little luck. They keep banning our IP due to Port Scanning which they say is such a vague reason, they can’t really diagnos it. We are on a reseller linux, not a VPS .

When you upload an image after the theme is installed it gets cropped into all of the different sizes the theme uses. See on the Item Details page under where it says “Image Sizes” and lists all of the image crop sizes.

Specifically for the carousel, the size that gets used is the one called “1/3 Column of Grid” which is 320×200.

Hi I’m not honestly not sure what could be happenning on your end. I just double checked Arcadian’s theme options in IE9 and everything is working fine for me. Here’s what I see in IE9 on Windows 7:
