Just a heads up, I can’t scroll down the homepage on my Samsung tablet, tried 2 different browsers.

chrisakelley

Is the iframe messing with it?

Prothemeus

Yes, it is. It works when I close the Themforest purchase bar.

chrisakelley

Thank you

No problem, goodluck!

It’s really good start for a theme – even version 1.0 is impressive. I will probably buy it in upcoming weeks (I need something by the end of April), I have only 2 questions:

1. What types of audio files are supported by theme player? Is it possible to upload .m4a files to it?
2. Would you consider making update in the future and add some page top customization? Or maybe it is possible to customize it with CSS (for example to make it with fixed width and change it’s height).

chrisakelley

1. the audio player can play .m4a’s but its not support across all browsers see this the audio player also uses a flash fallback for older browsers(aka IE) which only supports mp3’s

2. Im not sure exactly what you’re asking here, you can make the whole thing fixed width pretty easily just removing a few lines of CSS

Any idea why I wouldn’t be able to upload a Background image? When I click the “Upload” button, it doesn’t do anything. No dialog box pop or Browse window. In fact, on the settings page, none of the upload buttons work.

chrisakelley

want to email me your site url and login information from my profile page

Gunderstorm

Um, not really.

chrisakelley

without being able to look at whats going on I cant tell you how to fix it/whats actually broken, you can create a separate admin account and delete it after I have a look other wises there not much I can tell you. Its been tested in all major browsers without issue.

Gunderstorm

I tried FF and Chrome. What SHOULD happen when I click “Upload”? A browse for file window?

chrisakelley

yes it uses the default WordPress media uploader, if you watch the video walktrhough you’ll see it. I just tried in both Chrome and FF and it works fine from my side on both my local and live installs.

Which is why I need admin details to see whats going on, it could be many things simple or complex, but I cant just guess why its not working for you I need to take a look.

chrisakelley

Firefox Screenshot http://d.pr/i/pepa

What version of WordPress do you happen to be using?

Gunderstorm

I just tried a bunch of buttons and they aren’t working either. It’s obviously my WP install (3.5.1).

To anyone reading this thread, this is an amazing theme! The upload feature is not broken. It’s my problem, not the theme’s.

Thanks for the immediate responses to my queries, Chris.

chrisakelley

Thank you for the compliment.

If you haven’t fixed the issue try deactivating all of your plugins and see if it fixes the issue. Then reactivating them 1 by 1 until you find the culprit, if you dont have any plugins try reinstalling WordPress Core

Gunderstorm

I uploaded over my install and it seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks again for making my blog look so good.

chrisakelley

You’re welcome and thank you again for the compliment

Hi Chris, lovely theme.

Can you confirm the audio player works on Windows IE and Firefox? When I try your demo theme on browserling.com it doesn’t seem to work on Firefox and the player doesn’t seem to appear on IE… Is this just something to do with browserling?

Cheers

chrisakelley

Yes It works in both those browsers, was tested in the actual browsers

I want to buy this, but does it allow users to download a track? Or is there an easy way I could implement that?

chrisakelley

Its not coded to for a download link show, but WordPress can do this by default by simply inserting the audio into the post. Depending on the web browser it will either download and play or download the file(that’s default functionality of most browsers).A download link wouldn’t be that hard to code into the loop either but it would still either play/download depending on the browser set up.

If you want your users to be able to download the files without worrying that it will just play in the browser you’ll want to use a download manager plugin and then zip the files

I really would like to buy this but couple of things are stopping me. If you can assure me you will fix, I will get it in a heart beat!

1- when leaving a comment for a post, can you add validation to the form? if you miss a field, can you make it so the field’s border turns red for example but not go to a blank page “ERROR: please fill the required fields (name, email).”

2- can you add a 404 page? instead of “no posts were found”, keep the “no posts were found” page when you search and the search does not come out with anything, but for a dead link, add a seperate 404?

3- when you go to the HTML check page, in the pagenation at the bottom, the 1, 2, 3 numbers are randomly spaced! can you fix that?

Please let me know asap, if you can fix these simple issues, consider another copy sold ;)

chrisakelley

1 & 2. that would require customization, which I do not provide the theme uses the default WordPress comment so any plugin can hook directly into it, same goes for the 404 pages.

3. what browser are you using?

Default-user

Bummer :( and I am using the latest chrome on win 7, this is how it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/LkpIZ5t.jpg

Default-user

Just checked under IE and FF, same thing

chrisakelley

That again the default WordPress setup it doesnt wrap the active page in anything(the default number) and the only proper way to do it will get the theme rejected, as it has to replace default functionality

chrisakelley

It uses wp_link_pages which is required by the theme check plugin, you can swap it for a custom function but it throws an error in the theme check(which gets the theme rejected)

Default-user

One last question if you dont mind, in your gallery posts, i see that when you flip through pictures, the pictures fade-in and out, which is fine, but when using iPhone or iPad, and you swipe throw pictures, they flicker, can you make them slide so on mobile devices they look more natural?

chrisakelley

the flicker was a slight but it should be fixed in the demo, will push an update, but if you want it to slide it can be done with some modification. The jQuery plugin used is flexslider but it would require knowledge to edit the files properly

EDIT: I take that back, the files on themeforest already had the fix I just never updated the demo apologies

Default-user

Got it, thank you very much Chris, I just purchased one, could not wait anymore to get my hands on this beautiful theme ;)

How would I go about changing the footer social icons?

chrisakelley

You will need to edit the code in the footer.php(or use a child theme with a new footer.php) lines 22- 46

Default-user
reersh9 Purchased

Er sorry. I actually want to use an icon you don’t have listed in your icons.html sheet. How would I go about editing an existing icon or adding a new one?

chrisakelley

You’ll need to regenerate the font with the new icons http://fontello.com or add a new font. and then edit the code in the footer.php as I mention above to either add or replace the icons I use in my theme.

If you’re not using a font based icons then you will need to change the code and add the images with the proper paths.

Half of the fontello fonts are not working under the latest chrome in windows 8, some do work, some dont! they work just fine with the latest chrome on windows 7 though.

Also, they all work great under IE and FF, could you please assist? it is doing same thing on my website and your demo website

chrisakelley

Hmm its working in the latest version of Chrome on the Mac too, let me dig into this a bit it maybe a browser bug in Windows 8.

Default-user

Got it, thank you for the speedy response, one last thing please, can you please tell me how to make my posts show the excerpt with the read more on the front page? instead of the whole article

I know you can insert the <!-more-> tag in every post, but I want it done automatically

Default-user

I went to the content-standard.php (for example) and change the line under ”<section class=”post-content”>” to ”<?php the_excerpt…” but that only shows “Read more” and thats it

chrisakelley

On the font issue, It seems to be only in Windows 8 in Chrome every other OS with the latest version of Chrome its working fine and I cant duplicate it with other fonts so it maybe a bug, I still need to dig deeper to try and duplicate it(or find the cause) but again it is working on all other OS’s with the latest Chrome.

For the excerpt you need to replace all of the “the_content();” in the content-posttype.php (the post type being the post type you want an excerpt).

Theres actually hidden excerpt functions in the theme that aren’t being used currently but in for future releases, open up the includes/theme-functions.php and delete lines 216-255

Default-user

I opened content-standard.php, under <section class=”post-content”> i changed it to the_exceprt but now all i see in my front page is just “Read more” there is no teaser, and when i click on the “read more” it takes me inside the post and the post is empty with just “read more” again!!!

chrisakelley

My apologizes, you need to add a conditional http://d.pr/n/BMpv as its loaded for both singular and loop pages.

also note I dont provide any customizations as part of my support just for direct issues(like the font) if you cant make the proper edits you will need to look into hiring some one to do so.

Default-user

the conditional php wors, but what I have been saying, there is no excerpt on my main page

http://i.imgur.com/kuAOy5l.jpg

Sorry but I have been trying to solve this for the past two days with no luck :( I guess i will keep digging, Ive got the whole thing configured the way I want it except for this :(

Will wait to hear back from you about the font issue, and again, thanks

chrisakelley

did you delete the lines I mention above?

in the?

includes/theme-functions.php and delete lines 216-255
Default-user

I did, nothing, and btw 216 is the display retina logo function! are you sure delete from 216? even though, i still tried, nothing, then i tried deleting 231 to 255 because my ”* Excerpt Length.” starts from 231, and still nothing! perhaps I have an older version? I downloaded it again earlier today and these are the files I have :(

chrisakelley

Man I’m messing you all up today, I was looking in a newer version than whats available on TF(its an upcoming update), the proper lines are 231- 269 and you will also need to delete line 194.

Default-user

Same thing, i am about to punch a baby in the face right now :impatient:

chrisakelley

Create an account on my support forums

on the font issue, it seems that Chrome is only loading half the font on Windows 8, Ive submitted a bug to Chrome it seems its doing that with any icon font I load Im digging deeper to figure out what the exact cause is but still unsure.

Default-user

Thank you

chrisakelley

I meant create a thread as well ;-)

Thanks Chris

Default-user

Done
