Hi, I am wondering if I could do the same single´s prodcut lightbox effect in category pages.

I edited some code to add a “prettyphoto” effect bur unfortunately it is not as cool as yours or is showing gallery images.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please send us a private message with a link and we’ll try to help you. Cheers!

Done!

Oh, ok I’ve done that, how do I put the image in? Sorry- this theme is quite different to others and I’m still learning website building.

Hi,
This video shows you how to build pages with the page builder that is included with the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pqmXQ17LIM&index=7&list=PLWiviR4wWrsH2LmOcTrpGAwQjL-vQhBKt
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, I need to find how to set a slider image on the home page full size? Been looking for ages and obviously missed something.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! If you are trying to create a fullscreen slider page then go to pages>add new and select the correct page template on the right side panel.
Cheers!

Hello!

My English isn’t really good, but I hope I will explain clearly that is necessary for me.

By means of what it is possible to make such http://www .pirenko.com/samba/masonry-portfolio/ page? I studied all documentation, but I didn’t understand. If not difficult paint please where to come and what to do. Or tell in what video it was. Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
You can create that page by clicking on Pages>Add New and then selecting the correct page template on the right side: “Portfolio – Masonry”.
Cheers!

Hi. I just watched your videoe tutorals, and they’re great. I’m trying out the visual composer on a new page, but it seems like I’m missing almost all of the elevemnts in the Visual composer that you use in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hBecwTKOrs I updated the theme last week.

Hi. Thank you. I sent you an email with login details.

I have just replied, thanks ;)

Thank you. :-)

Hi Pirenko, is it possible to insert photos into the accordion or the toggle widget or is it just text ?

Hi,
Thank you for reaching me! Can you tell me what accordion you are talking about? If it is the one shown here http://www.pirenko.com/samba/shortcodes/ the answer is yes.
Cheers!

Yes it is, great news thanks for the really quick response

you are welcome here ;)

Hello. 1. When you select Use Ajax calls to load content? – no 404 error when browsing portfolio

2. When selecting on the page Portfolio Load posts on the same page? – Yes – the half-width layout when you try to scroll through the last portfolio hangs in the sense that Clicking on the menu is no longer available

3. If you select Use Ajax calls to load content? – yes lost the ability to adequately embed all sorts of widgets such as DISQUS commenting and similar, as they begin to be loaded through time

4. Why is it blocked the possibility of commenting on the pages. Entries can comment and page no. Why is that?

5. It is a pity that the setting for the slide show pages available, but only for record

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Here are my comments:
1) If you are browsing the portfolio why do you get a 404 error?
2) Please send me a private message with a link
3) Yes, this is true with this and other plugins that rely on Javascript. You can try and improve it, but you need to make changes to the theme code. This happens on all themes that use Ajax loading
4) That is very unusual, but if you need it please send me a private message and I’ll send you a tweaked file
5) I don’t understand what you mean here
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko !

Do you by any chance send pre-purchase PSD Files ? I know it’s a long shot but I need it to adapt the demo to show to one of my client.

If you can’t I totally understand, I’ll try to make a decent demo with screenshots. Thanks for this great theme anyway

Hi,
Thank you for your interest! I can’t send, because I don’t have them :(
I build the layouts straight into the browser, so I never go to Photoshop. Cheers!

Ok, I’m doing fine with the screenshots, thanks for the quick response

Ok, thanks :)

Where can I find a full list of Short Codes for Samba? I have all legacy Short Codes from Samba version 1.7 and since I have updated to Samba 4.7 today none of my Short Codes will render. You can see the code on my site here: http://laidbackkeywest.com Here is an example of my currnet Short Codes: prkwp_spacer size=”20”

If I change [prkwp_spacer size=”20”] to [pirenko_spacer size=”20”] it works but it looks like [pirenko_styled_title prk_in=”What we do.” align=”Left” title_size=”Large” use_italic=”No” samba_show_line=”Yes”] dose not exist and will not render.

Please help ASAP!!!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing. When you updated the theme you had a “special notice” for older theme versions. If you did not read it please check this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UnUZAW1go&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV&index=11
All you have to do is install the Visual Composer that is provided with the theme (it is separated from Samba Framework since version 4.0).
Cheers!

Is there a simple way to change the full screen slider navigation from dots to arrows like the smaller page sliders?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! I will add this option on the next update. If this is urgent, please send me a private message and I’ll send you some tweaked files.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

Thanks for the amazing template. One of the most versatile themes I have used till date! Kudos!

I have a couple of questions I need answered to complete my projects.

1) How do I remove the comments Plugin in the Blog section?

2) How Do I lock the orientation to Landscape in Mobile?

3) Is there a way to add a simple contact form to pages?

4) Why are some of my Blog Posts are NOT showing the read more button Link to Blog—> http://bit.ly/1EmZtso

5) Is there a way to Add a Search Bar to the Left Nav above the footer text?

6) On the Home Slider, is there a way to adjust the easing speed between each slide? I want it to be slower and smooth.

That’s About it. Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Here are my comments:
1) There’s no plugin included with the theme. If you want to turn the comments off please check http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2012/10/08/disabling-wordpress-comments/
2) I don’t think that this is possible
3) Here’s a good plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
4) The read more buttons shows only if the post text has more than a certain number of words
5) Go to Appearance>Widgets>Left Sidebar
6) You need to edit the js/main.js file
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko. Thank you so much for the wonderful theme. I used portfolio half to present our products and put general information on the right side. I need to type what each product shown on the slideshow that plays to the left is. Is there anyway to show the picture’s caption during the slideshow? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Unfortunately that is not an option. You will need to edit the single file that outputs the portfolios and also the slider script (on the file main.js).
Cheers!

Probably it would be much easier to watermark the caption to the bottom of the photo. I don’t have that many anyways. Thank you for your reply!

Ok, thanks :)

Hi Pirenko. I love the theme, it’s perfect for my upcoming webcomic =D I noticed that in the preview the Single Post has MailChimp and Twitter on the right side. How would I be able to get that to show on my posts instead of the default Recent posts/Comments/Archive?

Hi,
Good to know that you are enjoying the theme! You can manage that under Appearance>Widgets.
Cheers!

Hi, we are using your theme for one of our customers. Now we have a problem. We have a third level menu structure. If I click on a third level menu item, the site loads but the menu has changed to the original state. We want to see the opened structure like at the second level. Is that possible?

Here you can see our problem: http://www.sirtec.de/maschinenbau/portalfraesmaschinen-mattec/portalfraesmaschinen-preise/

The menu state ist like on the homepage.

Hi,
We don’t see any purchaser badge and all enquiries must be placed with the account that bought the theme. Please log in with the correct account and contact us again.
Cheers!

How can I edit the URL of portfolio items that seem to be hardcoded?

Example: example.com/portfolios/international-negotiation/

The bolded portion cannot be changed. I’d like to change /portfolios/ part to a different page /courses/

Also I want a carousel-portfolio which I am setting up, but I do not want the page it links to, to be the portfolio page style/element. I’d like the carousel-portfolio elements when clicked to go to a normal page I create.

How can I do these things? Thank you!

Please go to Samba Options>Portfolio tab. Please explore all the theme options too, because it seems that you have not even opened all tabs. Cheers!

Ah, I had explored the options actually; I just seemed to have missed that one. I’ll look harder next time before I ask a question. Thank you!

Ok, not a problem about the questions. I just think that it is better that you take some minutes to get more familiarized with the theme options. Thanks ;)

Pirenko,

I cannot find the option or figure at all how to do the carousel portfolio. It’s not in the video on portfolios or anywhere in the documentation, unless I am missing something. http://www.pirenko.com/samba/carousel-portfolio/

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please create a page and select the template “Portfolio – Carousel” on the right side panel. Cheers!

Apologies, mate. I apparently missed something quite obvious. I am still getting familiar with Samba. Thank you for answering my question!

Not a problem! You are welcome here anytime :)

Hi, when using Ajax.. I need to refresh a part of a page to get a plugin to work with Ajax turned on. Can I modify the page template to add a div surrounding the content with a ID called “refresh” and use some sort of jquery or javascript to refresh the div on that page?

Does that work?

When you choose another page for the menu, but want to go back to the landing page—when you either use the back button or click on the logo to “take you home”, it does not load if that helps.

I will try to send you a private link.

Ok, thanks!

Hi pirenko,

Would you know if your Portfolio page can be retrieve by another WP site in rss ? thanks a lot

Great ! thanks , work fine !!

You are welcome here ;)

Hi!

I am getting an error when trying to test the comment section of my blog. It’s says “Error! This field is required” even when all fields are filled in correctly. I also tried unchecked the “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail” in the Discussion Settings, and still get the error. It’s happening both in the web browser and on mobile.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Please make sure that you are using the latest theme and bundled plugins versions. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation.
Cheers :)

Hi – my site stopped working on mobile devices. No images appear and the menu is an unordered list. Any ideas on why this might be happening? I have the latest version of WP, the template, Visual Composer, and all plugins including the Samba Framework.

http://goo.gl/lgQw5v

Thanks, Erik

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
Please turn OFF all the plugins that are not included with the theme and try again. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation. Let me know also what device you are using.
Cheers :)
