The Professional WordPress Theme

Hi there, I’m implementing your theme on a client’s website and have just one quick question – the content seems to be getting sanitized so that single line breaks are not being saved (between paragraphs for example), double line breaks are being reduced to a single line break on pages and blog posts. Could you please point me in the right direction for fixing this issue?

I’m using the standard Professional theme.

Thanks!

Hi there,

These issues you mention with line breaks sounds like a problem with wp_autop. Do you have any plugins installed? If so, could you try de-activating them 1 by 1 to make sure it’s not a plugin issue? This theme outputs all content using core functions without altering it.

I see you do not have the buyer tag…if by chance you downloaded the theme illegally from somewhere, then the code could possible be broken as well.

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick reply! The theme was purchased by my client, I’m assuming it isn’t an illegal download of sorts.

I did end up installing a TinyMCE plugin, for other reasons. But in its options there’s a checkbox “Stop removing the

and
tags when saving and show them in the HTML editor” checking that solved my problem. Weird, as the problem started before I ever installed TinyMCE. I’ll be sure to check for plugin issues next time a problem like this arises.

Anyways, thanks so much for the quick reply! Cheers

Glad you got it fixed up ;)

In the future you should ask your clients for the purchase code. It’s good practice. We authors make a living from selling themes and when people aren’t buying them they are stealing food out of our mouths ;(

And in most cases having the buyer code will also grant you access to a support forum, such as mine at – http://wpexplorer.org.

Hello! Quick question before I purchase. Do the portfolio images have to be a square ratio? Could they be more of a 16:9 / rectangle ratio? Thanks!

WPExplorer

They can but you would have to edit your template’s image sizes in functions.php:

add_image_size( 'post-grid', 500, 450, true );

And then re-generate your thumbnails.

Hi

I have just bought this theme and would like to change the colours (green and pink) of the Girly theme. I have tried looking for this in “Editor” but don’t seem able to locate where the colours get updated.

Thanks in advance. Pia

WPExplorer

The css for this style is at css/girly.css – I wouldn’t suggest you change it via the editor. The best is if you use a custom CSS plugin or use a child theme to override the parent CSS. This way if there are ever updates to the theme you don’t lose them.

For seeing where the CSS is coming from I would suggest you have a look at the Firebug browser extension or the Chrome Developer Tools.

Thanks very much for your reply, I will do this !

I have created a child theme (style.css) which seems to be working fine. However I am not sure how to proceed in order to update the girly.css file.

I have created a girly.css file which I have added into a css/skins folder to replicate the parent theme, however this doesn’t seem to control the display of the skin.

Do I need to call it in the style.css file?

I am a beginner with child themes and am getting confused on how to control the skins, would really appreciate if you could guide me in how to achieve this.

Cheers

WPExplorer

You wouldn’t update the girly.css file. What you want to do is add CSS to your child theme’s style.css that overrides the parent.

You can dequeue the parent stylesheet if you want to remove it completely and enqueue a new on in your child theme if you prefer -

Hi, my related posts (in single portfolio) are coming up masonry style, even though I have the portfolio set to default in theme options.

Is there any way I can fix this so they’re one size here?

Thanks!

WPExplorer

I’ll be glad to help & get this fixed up asap!

Can you please open a ticket as noted on the Support tab for this product? Thanks!

WPExplorer

Sweet thanks! I’ll have a look as soon as it’s your turn in the queue. Thanks for your patience.

hi, i can’t seem to get my slides activated—they’re all uploaded but they won’t seem to activate? is there a certain way to do this?

WPExplorer

Have you setup your homepage using the static page as mentioned in the docs?

If you still can’t get it to work please open a ticket – thanks!

hi, just want to ask how to remove the Page title on the pages. something like this http://tinyurl.com/lplmvpf

WPExplorer

On ALL pages or just on a few?

Default-user
heartlock Purchased

may be on all of the pages :> thanks much

WPExplorer

Then its very easy. Just open page.php and remove lines 15-22. Or add the following custom CSS to your site:

body.page #page-heading { display: none; }

I was trying to purchase the Minimal version of this theme, but the file I downloaded only has the Professional skin. Is there a way to purchase the skin I actually need? I’m not a big fan of the Pro skin.

Update: Figured it out. The problem is that I’m an idiot – nothing wrong with the theme whatsoever. Thanks!

WPExplorer

Haha ;) No worries. I can understand why it might be confusing ;0

Let me know if you run into any other problems, thanks for the purchase!

Default-user

Just one problem. I am completely confused by the slider. I have tried setting the feature post category and uploading images (attaching them) to a post. No joy: http://www.plrdcameraclub.ca/

Is there a spot where you have a tutorial for this?

WPExplorer

It’s very simple. I have a video for my other theme store but it’s essentially the same idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd7kdxzE_eI – it should help you out.

Make sure you are using a static homepage using the home template. This should be mentioned in the docs. Because this is where the slider is called (templates/home.php, templates/home-sidebar.php). If you want to show recent blog posts with a slider on top you’ll want to copy index.php, rename to home.php then add the following code (withing PHP tags) where you want the slider to appear:

get_template_part('content','slides'); 
Default-user

OKay, I am getting much closer. The remaining hang-up is to get the blog posts to display 3 across like your sample page does:

http://wpexplorer-demos.com/the-professional-minimal/

The above is the exact layout I am looking for. I am set to static home page. I have renamed index.php to home.php and inserted code.

WPExplorer

The homepage shows recent portfolio items 3 across. If you want to show standard posts instead you will need to edit your template file to change from “portfolio” to “post” for the loop’s post_type parameter.
