Hi there, i bought your item, but , probably with the last wordpress upgrade, right now there are some problems with submenu. I installed your theme on different site but the problem is the same: i can’t see the submenu items when i click on menu items. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Stefano

Hi – the media files no longer show up on my site. Do you know if this might be related to a template update? If I had a mp3 file on a page before, it would show the black play option, but now there is nothing that shows.

Please let me know if you need further details.

Thanks, Erik

Hi Pirenko,

I am using your template which I love by the way…

I have 2 issues.. 1: On the demo site, the menu drop downs appear when you click, bur on my site they do not.. You click and then it takes you to a page.. http://www.janettehaslam.com/biography/

2: The slider revolution goes right away across the page and not just in the container.. I don’t want the slider underneath the menu. Can you please advise?

many Thanks, DP Purchase code: c20cdcdc-bbd1-4c6d-84f4-54e2b1ea3e27 Theme Forest Username: darrenpaul

Hi, thank you for purchasing! About 1) please check this small tutorial http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2014/07/24/mastering-wordpress-menus/
2) probably there’s something wrong with the slider settings. Please send us a private message through our profile page with the WP login details for a quick check

hi. The button ’’load more’’ has a problem. http://vvdesign.gr/ . It loads the image over the other

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! This page does not have any load more button. Is it ok now?
Cheers :)

This is the home page. http://vvdesign.gr/works/ Test more button in filter. Then you will understand it doesn’t work good.

Hi,
We see that issue, but we can’t replicate it locally. If possible please send us a private message with the WP login details for a quick check.
Thanks!

lot of bug after update :( . think going to ask money back :( :(

Hi,
Here are our comments:
1) It seems to be working fine here. Please send us a private message with the WP login details so that we can analyze this;
2) This should only happen if there are no posts within the same category. When we analyze number 1 we’ll check this one too;
Also, you don’t need to reinstall anything… As for the Visual Composer thing: we spent 18h trying to change the way that it is included with the theme and the idea is that you can use the “non-light” version. We discouraged you before, because you said you were getting a lot of errors and we thought they could be coming from conflicting plugins.
Cheers!

i’ve just send you acces to backend on your Gmail, so you will see
Tell me if you need FTP or Sql acces
cheers

Hi,
We’ll analyze this situation soon and will reply to your email.
Cheers :)

ok, for example, on the contact page, say i set a featured image, it stretches from left to right of screen and then has the contact form below as well the get in touch info.,. how can i do this with the visual builder. when i activate it, using “page – with sections”, the featured image is covered with my elements, i dont want to size a space to move it down because it will not look good on mobile devices.

Hi, we don’t understand what you mean. Please send us a private message with a sample link or an annotated screenshot. Cheers!

Hi again, back to the portfolio page, with the Carousal, how do i set which items are shown and which are not.. I have many portfolio items, however I want to only show a specific 5 items in the carousal

Yes, It Was working, now its not. I have 5 items marked with a skill, the others arnt

Ahh. Fixed it TO ALL: The items you want to be shown on carousal, portfolio items need to have an skill item check marked, once done, the Filter Option will show that skill, simply mark that to activate portfolio items with that skill.

On my text for the flex slider, I’m using

. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

I have a navigation item, which when clicked takes you to a page with options to choose from, i want those items to show under the navigation when clicked.. by default I have to click the little ” + ” to see them. is there a way to force it on a specific page?

Hi,
We are not sure about what you are trying to do here, but probably it is possible. Please check this tutorial about WordPress menus http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2014/07/24/mastering-wordpress-menus/
If you still need help please send us a private message with a link and explain with an example. Cheers!

hi
there is no more new options with the update of V.Composer ?
Still limited on using , we only have only the basics :( ++

Hi,
If you want to have access to a more standard version of Visual Composer please go to Samba Options>Advanced tab>Use light version of Visual Composer and turn it OFF. Please read carefully the disclaimer located near that option.
Cheers!

Hi, Great theme ! I have a strange problem in firefox : on the team members page (with the Visual Composer “Team members” component), the image of the member comes back to its full size, when I reduce the width of the window. Any idea to solve this? Thanks in advance !

Hi, I would know if it’s possibile in Samba theme, modify “samba_close” button in “top_bar_wrapper” section (the top bar that appear in a portfolio) to make it go to the previous page (so when I will press on X button, it should do onClick=”history.go(-1); ).

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! You can try and edit the main.js file to achieve that. Please notice that if you have the Ajax load feature ON that instruction will not work properly.
Maybe, you can explain us why you want this and there’s an easier way to implement it. If you want to try this please send us a private message with a link and explain the situation.
Cheers!

I would modify close button in portfolio, because I have different levels of portfolio and sometimes when I click on it, it doesn’t goes on the exact page.

Here an example: http://www.apulianroots.com/portfolios/santi-di-puglia-2/

When you click on “Presentazione Documentario – New York, 31 Marzo 2015” button, it goes in another portfolio page, and then when you click on Close button, it doesn’t return on the exact page. So I want modify this button to make it go every time on previous page.

Hi,
Here’s a more detailed explanation about how that button works: when you are on a single page the theme searches for a portfolio page that has at least one of the single portfolio post skills. This way you can have multiple portfolios totally independent as long as you don’t mix skills on different portfolio pages.
Your “history go back” idea does not seem good on situations where you came to a single portfolio page from an external URL (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc…), because in this case you will leave the website.
Cheers!

HI After last update “version 2.3.5” all my pages is broken , the Row layout in Visual Composer not works, and the elements in pages floating over it’s self!! any tips to fix this error? Regards

Hi, the latest version is 5.0. If this is what you are talking about please make sure that you also update the bundled plugins. Cheers!

Hi, I really sorry for late to replay, I update the plugins, and it is all fine now..

Thnx for tips :)

Ok, cheers ;)

Sry for so many questions. This may NOT be a theme related questions and if so i understand if there is no response. On the ‘Portfolio’ pages, I want to disable the page generated ‘Title’ and instead use one i created with the visual editor, however if i jus tremove the title, then it does not display on the image while using portfolio carousal

Hi,
The best way is to add the title again and hide it with CSS code on the singles page. Send us a private message with a link if you need help with this.
Cheers!

Where are all the shortcodes? like in the demo

Hi, you don’t need any shortcodes. Just add elements to the pages using Visual Composer page builder. Cheers!

Thanks! I got it now!

Do you have a recommended captcha or anti spam plugin that works with samba? I am getting lots of spam comments and would like something that works for spam on projects and blog posts.

Hi,
Did you tried installing Akismet? It should solve that problem. If you prefer some sort of captcha feature I don’t know any specific plugin.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, I am considering the purchase of this theme however the only thing stopping me at this point is the inability to flip through images in the lightbox with a swipe on a touch screen. Is this something that could be implemented?

Well it is something that we can try and implement, but it seems that it is a bit tricky. We found this article in the meantime: https://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/611895/Adding-swipe-support-to-Magnific-Popup-g/
If you buy the theme, the only thing that we can promise, is to add the script above and the Touchswipe script in the right places so that you can test it (hopefully it will work).
Send us a private message if you decide to buy the theme so that we can try this.
Cheers!

I’ve also been watching your setup videos and noticed the max width of the logo is 220px, is there a max height? My logo is 220×260, will that be okay?

Hi, yes, the left sidebar width can be changed with the theme options. Cheers!

Dear Author,

We have uploaded Samba theme on our Wordpress website. But there is issue with loading images on internet explorer version 8.0.7601.17514. Can you help us with same?

Hi,

Also where are the settings for the slide’s?

Hi,
When you are editing the slides you have some options under the slide content. Cheers!

This does not give me too much options.. I cant seem to get a picture to fit properly.. it seems liek its cutting the out edge of the photo off.. what is the proper res of the slider image should be?

The slide background image is the featured image of that post. If you still have trouble please send us a private message with a link. Cheers!

I have followed the documentation to install the demo data, however it did not install ALL the pages from the demo, and I am seeking the carasoul setup for the portfolio page, and All i see is grid and masonry options.. Can you please advise. Thanks

Hi,

Cheers :)
