WATT Creative Studio Wordpress Template

Hello, purchased your theme and trying to customize it to my likes; not very far off from the original, you guys did a great job.

I’m trying to figure out how I can add social media buttons for sharing (i.e. G+1, like on facebook, tweet, etc.) just below the links on the top header. While not a codemonkey, I do have a little sense of coding, php, and html I just don’t know where exactly I would edit this inside of the editor? Please help me!

A good example of what I want is very similar to digg.com

Thanks.

Also, how can I remove the padding so that the header meets with almost the very top edge of the browser?

@bkisner33 Hello, thank you for your purchase!!!

>>social media buttons for sharing (i.e. G+1, like on facebook, tweet, etc.)

We are working on it. But it may not be in ‘just below the links on the top header.’ How about making it a small expandable banner with small icons, located on the left edge of pages? If the design issue is solved, it should go quick so that the new feature should be available in the next release of update (the next update is coming up soon after testing).

>>Also, how can I remove the padding so that the header meets with almost the very top edge of the browser? How about pasting the following CSS code into the Foundry panel > Appearance > Custom CSS ?

\#header-top \#content {padding: 0px 0;}

Note: please get rid of the prefixed backslashes (\) for preventing the discussion form from removing the while CSS line.

But the alignment of slide-in header (the top header part that can be expanded by toggling a button) is off just with the CSS modification. You will also want to edit the javascript file to correct the problem. Look for a file named:

WATT /z_site/js/general.js

Then go to the line #228 below a comment saying ’//SLIDE HEADER ’. There should be a line that reads: var dhWidth = $(’#header-top’).outerHeight()-10;

You can change the -10 to any other values, say, we add 30 because we got rid 30px of padding top.

var dhWidth = $(’#header-top’).outerHeight() + 30;

Then you should see the full slide-in header when expanded.

Please be advised, any direct modifications you have made to the WATT WP theme file will be lost upon future updates. Of course this does not include those settings you make in the Foundry, which is why we have provided the Custom CSS feature in the Foundry.

However we plan to release a version with child theme support soon which should solve the problem with loosing modifications upon every update.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. FYI , we have our own support forum in case that you need the more flexible interaction with us for fulfilling your needs.

Thank you!

Fantastic theme and very pleased with it so far. Appreciate the hard work that has gone into it (and continues to).

I have two quick questions:

1. Is there a way to remove the Slide-In Top Header button from the header (I have already removed the Slide-In)?

2. On my About page, I have assigned three photos of individuals and provided suitable descriptions to the showcase columns. The photos are, obviously, attached to three custom Portfolio Post Types. I have then changed the Portfolio Post Type Name so that these portfolio items don’t appear in my site’s portfolio section. Is there a way to prevent the images in my About page’s showcase columns from clicking through to non-existent portfolio pages and generating 404s?

Any help would be gratefully received!

Hello!

>>2 Is there a way to remove the Slide-In Top Header button

There will be the option to hide the button in the Foundry in the next update. We are planning this weekend (ish) for the release, which is by the end of May 2012. I have finished coding already, now it is in the testing phase.

>>2. On my About page, I have assigned three photos of individuals and provided

An option to sort out the issue #2 also happened to be included in the next release mentioned above. You will be able to specify images from the one uploaded to the about page, and you will also be able to set the URL manually.

FYI , do you use WP’s child theme to modify the WATT WP theme? It will be recommended to use child theme for any modifications from the next release and on.

hello,

where can i go to update the theme. I’m running 1.1 and want to update to 1.5

also the side bar widget is cutting off all my plugins on the side – http://www.so-nu.co.uk

thanks

@cognacqjay

Thanks for the swift help (and I look forward to the update)! As it happens, I modified your original code directly, with some CSS changes made using your Foundry option. I’ll transfer my changes across to your next update using the WordPress child theme.

hello

it has been uploaded to wordpress but it is still showing an outdated version (1.1) not (1.5)

please see the side contact widget ( http://so-nu.co.uk ) is being cut off. this happens with all side bar widgets i have put in there.

@clicktrack

Please take a note of what you have modified. FYI , the directory / file structures will be changed in the next update.

@chatterboxtld Hello, for example, in this page,

First, I think that you will need to adjust the slider width so that it fits inside the content area. Your bannerspsace_wrap has the width of 1000px. The width of div.content is set to 623px.

As for the sidebar issue, you have to modify the css of the plugin which you have installed so that it fits into the width of sidebar (237px).

FYI , we have our support forum at : http://support.udfrance.com/ Feel free to stop by and post if you have questions or problems. Thank you!

I tried uploading the theme into wordpress it’s telling me it’s missing the style sheet….why is that?

@Apiaryofnyc

Hello, Can you tell me how you tried installing the WP theme? Here is an instruction on how to install the WATT WP theme:

How do i create a drop-down menu for one of my pages in the menu bar?

@kendrick1 Hello!

>>How do i create a drop-down menu for one of my pages in the menu bar?

Do you mean a drop down menu as in the STYLING menu as in this demo site?

In that case, please use WordPress Menu option. Please see:

In the admin screen, you will need to arrange the menu hierarchy.

FYI we have our own support forum which can serve you better.

How do I get the slider on my homepage?

@Apiaryofnyc

Hello!

Did you try setting the page template for your home page?

That is right in the ‘Page Attributes’ module located at the right side of page editor.

Thank you!

Please have a look at the following page to find out more about how the child theme works with WPML :

Release note for the version 1.2.1:

>>As I am still looking to buy the Watt theme or the Squared theme only if it works with WPML …

I tested by myself and it seems okay to me. I also sent out the latest WATT WP theme to WPML for a review. I do not know when WPML will get back to me as of writing. Please send a message to udfrance for more details.
