Great Work, I want to develop html version. partnership 50-50. waiting your answer.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest. However, the HTML version is already developed and available in the Marketplace – http://themeforest.net/item/oshine-creative-multipurpose-html-template/11698505

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami,

I’ve been playing with Oshine for some time, ans solved a lot of small issues that I had using info drwan from these threads.

I did not find anything on how to get rid of an inconsistency (possible glitch) in portfolio navigation for one of my clients, so I need your advise.

See the following page:

http://mirelaiordache.com/portfolio/narcissism-3/

If you click on the grid icon in the Portfolio Title and Navigtion bar, you get this:

http://mirelaiordache.com/axis-2012-2013/ which is the Main Portfolio Page for this portfolio item as set in the portfolio post type meta section

However, if you click on the grid icon in the Portfolio Navigation shortcode section, you get this:

http://mirelaiordache.com/

which is the front page of the site (and I assume is a default when no URL is set in the Oshine options panel under Portfolio Home Page as I did not set any).

Is there any way to have the Portfolio Navigation shortcode point to the URL set in the Main Portfolio Page under the Portfolio Post settings, as the grid in the Portfolio Title and Navigtion bar does (instead of pointing to the general Protfolio Home Page)?

So to speak, is it possible to have both navigation grids point to the same Main Portfolio Page provided on a post by post basis?

Best regards,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

This option is not currently available in the theme. The option to set exclusive Back to Home link is available only on the Portfolio Navigation bar and not in the Module. We will incorporate this feature in the future updates. Appreciate your patience.

Thanks, Swami

Thank you, Swami.

It is mainly a question of consistency, I found ways to circumvent this limitation by discarding both the Potfolio title bar and the Portfolio navigation module.

But your theme is really great so I felt it is worth to give you this feed-back so that you elminate this little confusing incosistency in the future.

Keep up the giood work

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it! :-)

Thanks, Swami

Hello Swami,

Great theme—I’m really impressed with all the layout options!

I’m wondering if it’s possible for individual portfolio layouts to have a hero section?

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for the compliment and your interest in the theme. Yes it is possible to have Hero Sections on Single Portfolio Pages too.

Thanks, Swami

hi-i would like to have my floating header be a different color than my top header but i also want it to have a semi transparent look. right now i can get my top header to translucent white, which is what i want. i had the header background set to: #c1bebd and so it’s opaque for the floating header. i don’t want this. i tried to set the header background with an opacity setting but it doesn’t seem to want to take this like some of the other color setting areas. i set it to: rgba(193,190,189,.9) but it’s just defaulting to the translucent white. i have now set it back to the hex code. is there a way i can set the transparency just for the floating sticky header with css? i can’t seem to find the right css to just change that rather than the entire header. can you please help? thank you. my site is: sagehousedesigns.com/newsite

Hi,

Again, this feature is not available, unfortunately, You cannot add title over the images that you add using the gallery Module. You need to use Portfolio Module to serve this purpose. You can add these items as Portfolio posts, and set them all as type ‘Lightbox Image’. Link them all to a unique Category. Then, use the Portfolio module in the page to pull just the images from that category. I hope this alternative is helpful. Let me know if you need further instructions.

Thanks, Swami

that worked. thank you! one other question (sorry). so i have the site set to the one-page layout and i like that. but i do have a few interior pages. i’m having a problem now with the main menu on the interior pages because the menu items are not working properly. since i have the pages set as custom links with an anchor (i.e. about us is #about), it is calling up an incorrect link on the interior pages. so the portfolio items are like: http://sagehousedesigns.com/newsite/portfolio/cortina-units-7-9/, so when i hit the pages on the main menu it is going http://sagehousedesigns.com/newsite/portfolio/cortina-units-7-9/#about, for example. and on the blog it does this: http://sagehousedesigns.com/newsite/portfolio/blog/#contact. how can i change this? can i set a new menu for the interior pages? or am i doing something wrong with how i set the menu items for the one page? thanks. if you need to get in there it’s: sagehousedesigns.com/newsite main shdtelluride15

thank you!

Hi,

You had given just the Section ID in the custom Links and had not prefixed it with the Page URL in which the Section was. This is the reason why the section assumed the relative path based on the page in which you currently are. I modified the links in this format – http://sagehousedesigns.com/newsite/#about and the link back to the section from other pages now work well. You might notice that all the links on the left side are highlighted when you are on the home page. This issue should be fixed if you update the theme to its latest version – 2.1.2.

Thanks, Swami

Hello!

Is is possible for the full screen sections, to have an embedded YouTube video with autoplay? If not, do you think you’ll implement this feature soon? Thanks :)

You can use the Video module in the theme to embed the video , in a full screen section. However this will not have the auto play feature.

Alternative option is to use the Slider Revolution plugin, that is included with the theme. You can create a slider with just one slide and embed the video in this slide. You can also set the autoplay feature in the slider. Then add the slider shortcode in a Full Screen Section in the page.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami,

The theme has been working great! Love it.

I would like to add a before/after slider page to my site. What plugin do you recommend?

Thank you, Kyle

Hi Kyle,

We have not tested this feature with any plugin as yet and hence cannot assure its seamless working. That said, you can try and use the plugin that best suits your needs and it should mostly work. The plugin might not support Ajax loading, and you have option to exclude any page from Ajax loading in the Oshin Options > Site Layout.

Thanks, Swami

Hello, I have the portfolio set up and would like to change the order of the thumbs on the portfolio page. I see that there is no real easy way of doing that yet, but I did see a post suggesting editing the dates in the backend, can you point me to the file to make these edits on/in? Also, is there by chance a way to rearrange the order using short codes? Thanks!

Are you able to point me to the file where I would edit the create dates, by chance and please?

I am not sure if I get you right. By “backend”, i meant Wordpress admin panel. You need to navigate to Portfolios > All Portfolios. If you click on the ‘Quick Edit’ link beneath each Portfolio Item, you will see the option to edit the Create Date. You can key in the date according to the order in which you want your items to be displayed.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks, Swami

Ahhh, I see, I’m sorry for the confusion. I thought you had to go into the actual code to make the modifications. I’ll give this a shot. Thanks once again!

Hello, Probably a stupid question, but how do I update the theme in the best way if you have released a new version? And if something breaks or stop working, can easy I go back to an old version?

Best regards!

Hi,

The instructions to update the site in given in the documentation under brandexponents.com/oshin/documentation/#update-theme .

Take a backup of the existing theme copy from your File Manager before you update the theme , just in case you need to go back to a old version.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami!

How can I add a title/text to the top of page if I am using the left header layout? I want to put a title to the top of the page layout, without affecting the left menu. Is this possible?

When I go to Oshin Options > Header Layout , the ‘top bar’ is only available for the top header.

Also, is there a way to align the left header menu text to the left (un-center)?

Thanks in advance!!!

Also, I think I may have come across a glitch. On this pagebuilder page (http://74.220.219.113/~shereenz/mseg/ ) when you scroll down, the page automatically scrolls back up before you can continue down the page. Have I accidentally made this happen? Is there a way to make the page scroll down normally?

Thanks very much.

I fixed the scrolling glitch, please only refer to original comment. Thanks!

Yes you can add a Title to the Top of each Page. You can use the Page Builder and add the Title using the Text Block module or one of the Special Title modules. There isn’t a Global Setting to add the title in the page, if you are using the page builder.

If you decide to disable page builder, though, you will see the Title Module will appear in all the page on top, by default.

There isn’t an option in the theme to change the Menu Alignment. You can, however, use the Custom CSS code below to do this -

 
#slidebar-menu li{
    text-align: left;
    padding-left: 20px;
}

Thanks, Swami

hi, I’m interested in the template for restaurant …. but there is no page for news? thanks

Hi,

I assume you are asking about the Blog page? You do have this feature in the them. We have just chosen not to showcase it in the V18 – Restaurant demo. If you have alook at the other demos – Main Demo, V2, V3, V5, V6 etc, you can see various combination of layouts possible for the Blog page. These options are included in the backend. That said, all the features that you see in the demos are all driven by options and can be used in you site. Hope this clarifies your question.

Thanks, Swami

Nice Theme! Some questions:

1) I would assume that it is possible to have a portfolio like “V17” (Home) in a site styled like “Main Demo”. Correct?

2) Main Demo: On “Pages”, each page is using a different header style. Is this showing the capabilities of the theme? In other words: I can have a custom header per page? Depending on whether I want one or not?

3) Are the icons on Main Demo on the right side of the header custom? Can I remove them?

4) Is there a chance to play with the admin side of the theme before buying it?

5) On Main Demo the menu items overlap with the logo and the icons on the right side on the iPad (retina) in landscape mode. The menu changes in portrait mode, so there it is ok. Not sure if you’re aware of that.

6) Main Demo: To which extend can the footer be customized? I assume it could also be removed from the page?

7) V17 Home is extremely slow on my iPad. Any chance to improve performance on that page?

8) Main Demo, Android Phone, Chrome: The menu expands but when clicking on “Pages”, the menu colapses and I do not see a submenu to open the about page for example. Can this be fixed?

Let me know if you need further input for the potential bugs.

Thanks!

Hi,

Alright, we will look into the issue with the menu. Regarding the scroll to section and viewport, the issue could be most likely due to other work in progress in the test site. These do not occur in the main demo which runs the latest version of the theme.

Thanks, Swami

Ok!

Thanks a lot for all your answers and the possibility to test it in depth. I am convinced :-). Once everything is set in stone for the new website I’ll push the button.

You can remove my user.

Sure. Thank you !

Hello, this is an awesome theme! I did not buy this myself but working on it from a friend. I just have a problem with the Portfolio, in the Gallery mode, it only seems to load the first item and not the next ones. This also happened within each gallery, but i reloaded the images and then it worked. However, on the main Portfolio page, it still only loads the first image and not the second. With Inspect Element i noticed that the first element has a class while the second doesn’t have the “img-loaded” one. Is there a setting that i am missing somewhere? Thanks for your support! Ah and you can see the website with this problem here: http://dianaelastiri.com/

Hi,

Thank you for the compliment. This issue will be resolved if you update the theme to the latest version 2.1.2. I see that you are still running in 1.9. The instructions to update the site in given in the documentation under brandexponents.com/oshin/documentation/#update-theme .

Thanks, Swami

How do you hide comments on Pages? I see how to hide on posts, but not pages.

The option to ‘Display Comments on Pages’ on pages is given under Oshin Options > General Settings . You have to disable this setting to hide comments in the pages.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami

Just wondering if there is a way to change the text colour of the widgets used in the bottom widget area?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Yes you can. The option to set the typography and color for the Bottom widget area Title and Text is available in the options panel under Oshin Options > Typography.

Thanks, Swami

Thank you Swami! So simple :|

Is it possible to take bits from one demo and add them to another demo?

http://brandexponents.com/oshin/v8 (I like then social icons at top on right of menu) http://brandexponents.com/oshin/home-3/ (is this possible and easy to do on this demo?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in purchasing our theme. Yes ofcourse it is possible to combine multiple demos and you can certainly have the social media icons in the header of v8 in the home 3 of the master demo. All our demos were created using the various settings available in the options panel and the versatality and power of our page builder.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami

I would just like to say a big thank you for all your help with this amazing theme, keep up the great work!

Thanks Luke

Thanks a ton Luke for your kind words :)

Hi, i bought the theme a few days ago and used the V2 Layout as my Template. Now i want to have the v17 Grid under my Portfolio section which i managed to work. The Problem now is, it only shows single projects in the grid. so i click on one project, it shows me three pictures, then i need to get out of the lightbox and click on the next project. how do i get it exactly like in v17? so that it shows all pictures in the grid and i can click through all the pictures in the lightbox? Thanks for your help.

Hi,

In V17 demo we have used the Gallery Module. From what you say, i guess you have used the ‘Portfolio Module’ which will pull your portfolio items in the grid. The way, the gallery module will work is that you have to drag and drop the images in the module, and you will be able to open each of them in Lightbox and swipe through the images.

Let me know if you need more instructions.

Thanks, Swami

Hi, Thanks for your response. Now i understand what the problem is and got it to work. Now there is another problem, i would like to have tag filtering above my gallery, is this possible with the gallery module?

Best Regards

Unfortunately, no. The Gallery module cannot have any kind of Filters.

Thanks, Swami

Swami, On the blog page, I can’t seem to edit anything? I can’t see the title bar to edit (you can see it here: http://approachit.co.uk/wp/index.php/the-approach-it-blog/

I’ve checked that page builder is enabled, it is… The page title is set to The Approach IT blog but on the page it just says blog, and I also want to center the title, and change the title background colour… can’t do any of that?

Help!

Thanks again

Responded to your older thread.

Thanks, Swami

I need help with Master Slider plus a quick question about the contact form. I have my slider settings and images configured. Now I need to add a title to the left hand corner of each slide/photo. The title needs to be a clickable link to the associated page within the site. Two questions:

When working with text layers, the layout I have in my editing window looks nothing like how it lays out in the preview window or when live on the site! Where I place my text seems to have no correlation to where it winds up displaying. Align text to the edge and it winds up 1/3 of the way in. Text layers also wind up obscuring each other since I cannot precisely place them. WHAT is going on?

Also, how do I make the text linkable? Seems this should be easy but I don’t see an obvious why to do it. I see where I can place “hot spots” but that’s really a different function.

The people at Master Slider refuse to answer any question for those who have gotten the plugin bundled with a theme and they sent me to you.

The contact form. There is no captcha for the form included with the theme nor are there any configurations beyond setting the email address. How secure is this form? I don’t want piles of junk mail or an insecure field leaving me vulnerable to hacks

Please advise. My client is ready to launch the site when this is dealt with. Thank you

Hi,

There is a option called ‘Snapping’ that you can find on top of your slide in the backend. This option will look like a switch. Turn this off and then turn it on again, and save the Slider. This should get the formatting of the Slider contents correct in the Front End.

Regarding the link, you can do that using the Text Area and link the URL using the ‘link’ icon in the editor.

Both the Snapping option and the Link button is highlighted in this image – http://cl.ly/image/1c0K3F3v151q?_ga=1.31292347.56180585.1439292418

Although the plugin is included in the theme, we cannot explain how each element of the plugin would work and teach them to the buyers. We have included the documentation of MasterSlider in the theme and have provided the Sample Slider content for every slider created in our demos. If you are not familiar with the plugin, we suggest you use the Demo Sliders as-is or try to learn how the plugin works by going through their documentation. If you think you will need extensive and exclusive support for the Slider, you might have to purchase a license from them, to be able to use the author’s expertise.

Regarding the Contact form – the Captcha is not included in the form that comes with the theme. Alternatively, you can use any third party plugin for contact form that supports Captcha – like Contact Form 7 plugin. This is compatible with the theme and we recommend it.

Thanks, Swami

Just to update, I tried toggling the snap setting but there was no change. I’m having similar issues with Revolution slider. I got some advice from themepunch after purchasing support but do not have a fix since the issue was with the theme

I’ve sent an email with more information for you. Hopefully a fix can be found!

I will look into the details and get back to you. We can take it forward in the email.

Thanks, Swami

Great theme, I love it!!

I’m using theme version 9 and would like the lightbox gallery in the “recent project” section of the homepage to pop up and slide through all of the images in the post.

I would like it to function similar to the “lightbox image” but only with them images in the gallery.

Is there something I need to check to allow this? I can’t seem to get it to work.

Thank you, Kyle

Hi Kyle,

The Lightbox Gallery does not work in Portfolio Carousel Module. This is an issue in the theme that we are aware of. We are in the process of fixing it. The fix will be patched in the next update to the theme. Thanks for bringing this to our notice and appreciate your patience.

Thanks, Swami
