Hey Chris,

Thank you very much for this great template! It is exactly what I was looking for.

I have two questions though regarding some changes:

1. On the Main Page (Home Template), the last 3 portfolio entries are being shown. Is it possible to show “random” entries instead of the latest?

2. When creating a portfolio page with the image position on “left” or “right” and you try to add a long description, the space below the image will not be used completely. I guess it is creating a second column with text only, so no floating text. Can you confirm this? And if so, can this be changed? My workaround so far is to set the image position to “center”.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey there,

1. In the template-home.php template you’ll need to edit the portfolio query and set the order to random. Look for #home-portfolio in the template and http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query will help for modifying the query.

2. The image position left and right is meant for smaller images. So what you’re describing is intended behavior.

Thanks

I noticed that Twitter and Facebook widgets are not working. Is there any update or quick fix?

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

The latest version has fixed this. The demo needs update (thanks for reminding me).

Hi Chris,

Is it possible to adjust the size of the slider, so it’s a bit smaller?

Thanks

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

It’s possible if you understand WordPress’ thumb size function and are happy editing the CSS of the slider.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks and I would be happy to edit some css. Could you give a brief explanation how I would do so and which file should be adjusted?

Hey Chris, I just read that the latest version of the plugin solves the twitter feed issue. Can you tell me which files I would need to update in order to make this change? We’ve hacked away at the theme a bit and I don’t want to lose my other changes. Thanks.

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

The file to update is /framework/widgets/widget-tweets.php

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help on the previous matter. However, I have 3 more questions.

1. How do you integrate the comments interface on a new page, like http://www.uniqprint.nl/referenties-2/. Don’t mind the language (it’s Dutch), but here I would like to show all testimonials from my current customers.

2. On the bottom of a blog page, their is the “you might also like” section. Is it possible to show more then 3 other blog post and thus enable the user to scroll trough all other blog post?

3. Is it possible to integrate a call to action button in a homepage slider?

Thanks Chris and looking forward to your reply.

Mike

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

1. You can’t really just integrate the comment interface anywhere. It’s not how WordPress works. By the sounds of it, you’d be best creating a shortcode for your testimonials that you could use again and again.

2. It’s possible, you’ll need to edit the single-related.php template and modify the query to show more related posts.

3. Not out of the box, you’ll need to implement this yourself.

Thanks

hi Chris, I am trying to set this theme up for my non-profit and the homepage doesn’t scale properly. I’ve removed ALL content from my homepage layout, updated / uninstalled / re-installed the theme, etc. I can’t get the homepage to properly center, which it should as your example on themeforest works flawlessly. What should I do?

http://www.stem-trek.org/home/

You’ll notice the main content area doesn’t center properly. Resize the window and you’ll see the right side does not center, it seems to be padded around 30px to the right.

I have no idea what to do, any ideas?

ALSO : notice how the header and footer text flashes bold/regular on each slide transition. Weird, right??

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

Looks odd, your CSS is missing something important. Email me via my profile and I’ll send you the latest version of the theme I have and we’ll see if that solves it.

Greetings,

I am having an issue with the “From the blog” section on the homepage. When posting a video the thumbnail is large and, quite frankly, looks awful. I attempted to add a thumbnail in the post, hoping it would solve the issue. No luck.

Please advise.

-Mike

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

Thanks for pointing this out. A quick fix is to add this to the Custom CSS box in the theme options panel:

#home-blog .entry-video {height: 137px;margin: 0 0 15px;width: 100%;}

This fix will be included in the next update.

Thanks

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply! Two followup questions.

1) Is it possible to constrain the height as well? (http://cl.ly/3K2r0u2J2H0m) 2) Is it possible to have the poster image displayed on the custom blog widget? (http://cl.ly/091V0h1v3N0e)

Thanks!

-Mike

2) Is resolved, I set a featured image for the video post.

ChrisMooney

Hey Mike,

I’ll see if I can fix the height issue in the next update, it’s not something I can give you a quick code snippet for I’m afraid.

Hey Chris,

Is there the possibility to open some links created with the button shortcode in a new window? i have tried several options already with “target=_blank” etc, but none of them worked. I also found the according code in /framework/shortcodes with a hint to an option “target”, but I do not get any further.

Thank you very much in advance and of course a Merry Christmas as well!

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

Thanks for letting me know about this. I’ll get this fixed in the next update for you.

Hey Chris,

minor thing: when portfolio image position is set “centerd” it overlaps the border on the right ( check: http://themes.swishthemes.com/venture/portfolio/new-york-skyline )

a 958px width in #portfolio-slider fixes this.

ChrisMooney

Thanks for pointing that out, just fixed it in my version.

Cheers!

Hey Chris, first of all sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand me :)

I’ve a problem in the homepage, the fullwidth.page section under the slider have a 1010 px width, not 960 px, i can’t understand why, i’ve done some change in css but about colors, not width or other, only colors.

Now my site is in “under construction” mode, if you visit it you see a temporary landing page and i can’t deactivate the plugin that i use for the temporary page, so i link to you a screenshot to explain my problem:

http://www.alessandrosilva.it/screen-50px.jpg

As you can see the section is 50px larger than the 960 px default width.

Can you help me? If possible, i’d like to understand how to fix that bug without replace the style.css file, you know, i don’t want to lose my modify to style, if possible…

Hope you can help me and hope you have understand. :)

Best regards, Francesco.

Chris, does this theme support child themes? I am interested in buying…

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

All my themes are child theme compatible. It’s the best way to customize them and keep the parent theme intact for updates.

Hi,

We’ve been running into a problem when inserting an image into a Portfolio post it also gets added to the Featured Image as a slider.

The only fix is to ‘permanently delete’ the offending image.

Is this a problem with the Theme? We’re running WP 3.5.1.

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

Please email your issue to me via the form here: http://themeforest.net/user/ChrisMooney

Include your WordPress admin details with step by step directions to reproduce the issue.

Hi Chris, Great theme. Can you tell me how to reduze the width of the images to the homepage slide? I would like the images to be aligned with the content area, and remove the shadow. I have created a child theme already.

Furthermore, I don’t see any template for the “contact” page. Did you use a special plugin to make the formular?

Thanks in advance

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

You’ll need to modify the #hpslider{} CSS and remove the negative left/right margin. Removing the #hpslider:before and #hpslider:after CSS will remove the shadows.

For the contact form I used this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/grunion-contact-form/ but you can use any contact form plugin.

Thanks

Hey Chris,

love this theme, very nice design! Unfortunately it doesn’t run with some of my plugins…

1. deviantart muro: doesn’t work at all any more… how could I get this to work with your theme?

2. wp user frontend: the site where a user can create a post from the frontend, it still works but it looks completely messed up.. :(

Would be really nice if the theme could handle those basic plugins!

ChrisMooney

Hey there,

Could you email me via my profile with your admin details so I can take a look? I can’t guarantee compatibility with all plugins, but if there’s something in the theme that needs fixed I will sort it.
