Hey mate,

Again great work. I’m likely to purchase both this and your powered business theme. As before, only a few general pre-sales questions:

1. Is the homepage fully customisable? Specifically, is it widget based via an options panel or via shortcodes on a page? Also could a normal page/blog page be used as the homepage with the Slider?

2. Is the Slider controlled from within the theme options area or is there a separate dedicated tab for adding/amending slider posts?

Many thanks in advance and again great work.

Kind Regards,

Nitesh

1. Unfortunately the older WoodStock theme has a homepage that is pretty much all hard coded in the index.php – so unless you are coder it might not be worth your while.

2. The slider in Woodstock is also a custom post type…

Please see my earlier response for the Powered theme.

Hey mate,

Really like the theme, thinking about purchasing, couple of Questions though…

1. Can the background image be customised?

2. Can a video play in the homepage slider?

3. can the logo section be bigger?

Thanks!

WPExplorer

1. Yes.

2. Not in the slider. There is only an option for static video.

3. The header will expand height-wise automatically to fit your logo height.

Hello,

What is the easiest way to add more logos to the social media panel on the left sidebar? (We want to include Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Etsy, if possible…)

WPExplorer

Hi,

The “easiest” way is to open footer.php and add them manually to the code starting on line 34.

Hello. I really like this theme, but have a few questions as I try to build my site with it.

1) I added a “logo” (banner) but can’t seem to get rid of the black border/padding around it. How can I do this? 2) The banner/logo doesn’t appear on the home page. Why? 3) It seems to update very slowly. When I make changes to the theme settings like adding the logo or changing the font or background color, it can take several hours to appear even though I have deleted my cache and reloded the page. New pages however show up right away. Is there a reason site-wide changes take so long?

Thank you!

WPExplorer

Hey there. Sorry for the late response, was out all afternoon yesterday at an appointment..

1 – Are you talking about the black background in the header region? If so, this will have to be customized using css.

example:

#header{background: none; }

But depending on the background you use this would make your navigation look pretty bad.

2 – Hum…this is quite strange. If added in the theme options that banner should show up site-wide. I’d have to take a look at the site to confirm there isnt some error.

3 – Not sure, I just re-tested my demo and it seems to be the same speed. Maybe your database needs to be optimized? Either way, this seems like a server-side issue which i can’t really help trouble shoot just from the info provided.

thanks for the purchase, AJ

Hi there!

Is it possible there is a bug in my site? I bought the WOODSTOCK theme, but i can’t upload any images at the portfolio and slides. I read the documentery and there are differences between your picure’s and my backhand.

Thanks for helping…

Hi!

I have been updating my site based on your theme but I discover there are errors when I use shortcodes for ‘buttons’ and ‘toggle’ in a portfolio page. It’s normal? Maybe I’m using an outdated version? Button is cut and Toggle changes the layout.

I also see in your demo site that in one of your portfolio pages you inserted a button under a portofolio image on the right. How can I do it? I only see option to edit the text content (on the left) but no how to put anything else at bottom of images.

Last question is if there is any easy way to put on the homepage the 3 portfolio images moving/changin automatically aside the option to press the arrows.

Thanks for your help and congratulations again for the great theme.

Could you please open a ticket on the support site:

When you open the ticket could you please send me the link to the page with the “shortcode errors”? thanks!

I’m trying to change the background color on this theme, but it only changes the color below the header. How do I change the background next to the header/banner as well? Thank you!

WPExplorer

You mean you want to change the header background? You can do so like this:

/* example make header background white*/
#header{ background: #fff; } 
Default-user

Thank you for the quick response, but it doesn’t seem to work. You can see what I’m talking about at http://sewingstories.com/new/ I want the light blue background to continue to the top where there’s currently a dark grey.

WPExplorer

Your header-wrap div has some background color applied to it. This custom css would remove it:

#header-wrap { background: none; }
Default-user

Excellent. Thanks so much for your help!

One more question: Is there a way to add other social media links or to change the alternate text of the options available? Thank you!

WPExplorer

You can quickly add more to the list manually by editing the footer.php file. If you want the options also in the theme panel, then you’ll have to edit the admin panel as well under admin/theme-admin.php.

thanks for the purchase, AJ

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

Glad you like it ;)

I personally suggest hiding it with css:

.single-portfolio #subtag{ display: none; }

I have a feeling that I just did something very wrong. I moved my WP site using this template from a test site to the live url and all the links still point to the old version. My web host suggested updating the permalinks, but a warning keeps coming up about the “Customizable Permalinks” plugin … which isn’t installed. Any idea how to update the links?

Thank you!

WPExplorer

You might have to log into your database and change the URL from there or do so using your wp-config file

Hi,

On the portfolio page, is there a way of having a lightbox pop up instead of it going to another page after you’ve clicked on a thumbnail?

Also, after clicking on a filter or a thumbnail, is there any way of making the “back” button redirect back to the whole portfolio page with all the thumbnails, instead of having it go to the previous thumbnail before it?

thanks!

WPExplorer

Hi,

Both of these are actually significantly big modifications so there isn’t much I can help with here – you might want to hire a freelancer.

For the lightbox you’ll want to edit template-portfolio.php to change the link for the entries which is set to the_permalink to that of the full-sized featured image. Then add the prettyphoto rel value to the items – see the single-portfolio posts for a sample of how to add he lightbox.

For the back-button you’ll need to add this manually to single-portfolio.php.

thanks for the purchase, AJ

HI AJ ,

I had the question a few weeks back about removing the portfolio post dates. Where should I enter
.single-portfolio #subtag{ display: none; }
?? Please forgive my amateur level ability.

Thanks!

WPExplorer

You can add it to the custom css field in the theme panel or directly in style.css.

Got it…Great. Thanks a lot! And removing it from the blog?

WPExplorer

same thing but just use .single { }

If you look at your site’s body tag you can see all the classes in there added by WordPress.

Hey AJ, is there a way to implement an opt-in checkbox on the contact form? I’d like to offer one to give users the chance the “opt-in” our mailing list.

Thanks

WPExplorer

You should look into using a contact form plugin that is more advanced. Maybe have a look at Contact Form 7.

I searched through the message board and didn’t see this question, so hopefully it hasn’t been asked…

I want to create a nav item that goes directly to a pre-filtered category of portfolio items. I noticed that on the portfolio page the links have a /#[category name] to filter the different categories. I tried adding a link in the menu to www.domain.com/portfolioname/#portfoliocategory and I just get the unfiltered portfolio.

If you could help me with this, I would be SO thrilled. The theme is awesome and I’m glad to have found another WP developer who creates a robust admin interface as well as a good looking front-end.

Thanks ahead of time!

WPExplorer

Unfortunately this isn’t quite possible. It would take a bit of jQuery customization to be able to achieve this.

You can link directly to a category though, example:

http://www.wpexplorer.com/premium/woodstock/portfolio-category/category-1/

It doesn’t have the filter, but it might work better for your needs..?

thank you for the purchase, AJ
