Hello Ben,

For navigation menu, it is the default (standard) method as of Wordpress 3.0 to display a menu. Once you create a menu, you can automatically allot pages and adjust their order and hierarchy as desired. An auto generation of menu will lead to overflow of links with no control on their appearance.

For displaying sub-page summary on a parent page, the best approach would be to insert page excerpts manually using the column short codes and link each excerpt to their respective pages. Some sort of content blocks as you would see on the Services page of the live preview.

In case of slider, you can use featured image from pages instead of posts. Clicking on each image can take you to a custom URL or a direct link to the respective page.

Hello Juanzo,

Thanks for the heads up. Most of those errors are due to the timthumb ampersand, which I will try to replace with & and see if the timthumb still works. Rest of them are due to incomplete p tags inserted by WordPress.

I appreciate your inputs and feedback towards improvement.

Hello Chris,

I got a little confused here. (I’m sorry). What I understood is you need to place the logo touching the “Featured area gray bar” and aligned to the extreme left without any padding.

Or? Aligned to the top left of the body? You can send me a screen shot with desired marks at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will see what can be done.

Hi there,

Yes you can use it by directly inserting the markup required to do so. As described on the home page of prettyphoto, you can use inline content as:

<a href="#inline-1" rel="prettyPhoto[group1]"><img src="url_to_thumbnail" alt="" width="50" /></a>
<div class="hide" id="inline-1">
<p>This is inline content opened in prettyPhoto.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p></div>

Next, inside style.css file you can set:

.hide { display:none }

Let me know if you find any issue.

Regards

Yes, most of those files except date.php.

Hello Al,

I have replied to your email regarding this. I guess you didn’t checked the mail yet.

Saurabh,

The changes worked nicely. Thanks for your great continued support. I apologized for not checking the e-mail sent, it went to different mailbox.

Thanks again!

Hey Saurabh,

One last fix, if you could help me out. How can I center the primary navigation vertically in my header. I’m trying to find the right change to make in the CSS file but it doesn’t reflect on the page.

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Hello Mayank,

You can vertically center the Navigation using theme options Navigation margin field. Inside the General tab of Theme Options. If that doesn’t solve it, you can adjust Navigation margins inside .nav1 selector of style.css file.

You may also need to adjust padding-bottom of .header_wrap selector.

Finally, after changing the CSS , you may not see the changes into effect because we are overriding the navigation margin settings via Theme Options which are loaded inside includes/load_styles.php. So, whatever bottom margin you set in CSS , you will need to place same value inside Theme Options for Navigation bottom margin. Otherwise it will always load the default value.

Hope you got it.

Regards

Thanks Saurabh, that fixed the issue. Thanks again for all the support and help. You’re really doing a great job keeping people tight-knit around this theme.

Will look out for any more themes that you push out here.

Cheers!

Hello Rado,

Yes you can show featured image inside single posts below the title. Actually, this is done manually. When you will compose a post, you would insert an image using the frame short code or a simple img HTML tag. This image will show on excerpts as well as single post.

Inside live preview, the images in blog posts are inserted manually (inside the content of post), so that you can place them to the left, right or full width as desired.

Regards

Hi there,

The site will show featured area bar for every page and post. In order to hide it for a specific page, we can create a conditional check using a custom field. For that, kindly mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will try to tweak that for you.

Regards

Hello Rado,

Unfortunately, there are no short codes for inserting recent posts or slider into the content area. However, you can put one slider by inserting a direct HTML markup. You can mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com so that I will send you the necessary markup.

Regards

Hello Al,

No problem. Glad you got it working.

Hello Al,

The home page will show slide images from either posts or pages. As per your requirement, the only way is to hard code the images inside header.php file. i.e. to manually insert slide code in place of the “custom loop” where slides are fetched. In future, you may need to append/modify that code in order to add more slides. If you wish to have that, I will send you the markup.

For custom portfolio pages – For example, a page with some thumbnails and clicking on a link takes you to another page with thumbnails, the best way is to insert portfolio images manually using the column short-codes on a normal page. By using this method, you would be able to use multi column gallery on same page, with full control over the links. For example, a three columnar gallery in it’s most simple form on a full width page can be created as:

[one_third]
<a href="url_to_full_image" rel="prettyPhoto[group1]"><img title="my image" src="url_to_thumbnail" /></a>
<h5><a href="url_to_sub_gallery">Portfolio Title</a></h5>
<p>Optional portfolio description here</p>
<p><a href="url_to_sub_gallery" class="btn1">Read more</a></p>
[/one_third]

[one_third]
<a href="url_to_full_image" rel="prettyPhoto[group1]"><img title="my image" src="url_to_thumbnail" /></a>
<h5><a href="url_to_sub_gallery">Portfolio Title</a></h5>
<p>Optional portfolio description here</p>
<p><a href="url_to_sub_gallery" class="btn1">Read more</a></p>
[/one_third]

[one_third_last]
<a href="url_to_full_image" rel="prettyPhoto[group1]"><img title="my image" src="url_to_thumbnail" /></a>
<h5><a href="url_to_sub_gallery">Portfolio Title</a></h5>
<p>Optional portfolio description here</p>
<p><a href="url_to_sub_gallery" class="btn1">Read more</a></p>
[/one_third_last]

In the above markup, you can add your own class selectors to style the gallery and links. Hope it helps.

Regards

Saurabh,

Thanks for your reply. I will work with your suggestion. My intent is simply to have the navigation bar items link to different portfolio pages which would have a gallery of thumbnails which would bring up the full size images when clicked as slideshow, pretty much the way it works now.

If I am correct in Hulk, the only way to add images to a portfolio page, it to treat them as posts, inserting one at a time. I tested using a gallery plugin (NextGen) for the portfolio pages and seems that it would work simpler as a gallery portfolio page. I am not comfortable with getting too deep into the php coding fearing that I would mess things up.

Could you please give any additional info on how to load the dummy data? I am a little confused about copying the data ” inside the content editor of the home page”. I know where the editor is with the different pages, but my homepage ( Home ) is not listed. And does it replace the whole page of just part?

I love your theme, and and I am trying to make it work. Thanks for your continued support.

-Al

Thanks

Hello Chris,

A. For disabling links, you have an option as “Do not link Slide Images” with every Post (below the content editor). I assume you have the latest version of the theme v1.2 which contains that feature.

B. You need not create a post just for prettyPhoto. You can directly use a [frame] short code to insert a prettyPhoto enabled image anywhere throughout the site. Furthermore, you can directly use HTML to make a prettyPhoto enabled image as shown below:

<a href="url_to_bigger_image" rel="prettyPhoto[group2]"><img src="url_to_thumbnail" /></a>

For more details on using a [frame] short code, you can refer to the documentation file.

C. Regarding prettyPhoto, there seem to be a higher z-index on the YouTube video embed code. It might be difficult to have control on that. Similarly, having a link from prettyPhoto opened window is again something beyond the features provided by the plugin itself.

Hello there,

I am extremely surprised to see a RTL version of this theme being implemented. Stunning work. I can imagine how you would have flipped the entire layout horizontally, and with how much level of difficulty. But the end result is really really nice.

Thanks for choosing my theme. I am going to showcase this link on the item description page. (Hope you won’t mind that).

Regards

Hello Chris,

Since you wish to display same image across all single posts, you can do so inside single.php. You will see a code around line no. 9 as:

get_header(); if (have_posts()) :

You can insert the image as:

This will display the image on all single posts. Similarly, if you wish to display that image on Category or Archives, you would insert same code inside category.php or archive.php.

P.S. In the above code, retain the php opening tags. I have not written here as they are not displaying properly inside the pre tag.

You can further email me if you find any difficulty.

Hi there,

I think this issue is more related to Google Adsense units and their allowed usage per page. I have searched about it on other forums and found this post.

You may need to recheck how many adsense units can be allowed per site. Depending on that you may adjust the usage of units. From what I have read on other sources, it gets limited to 3 units.

You can find more help on this topic at the Google adsense support. If there will be any issue with the theme, I will resolve it out.

Hello there,

You can check again. The live preview link is this. There are some server backups when the site goes down. It’s common in shared hosting.

Regards

Thanks Saurabh,

I’m still getting timeouts when attempting to view the preview: “The connection has timed out: The server at labs.saurabh-sharma.com is taking too long to respond.”

This happens when I click on any of the links on the top menu, for example: http://labs.saurabh-sharma.com/themes/hulk/wp/?page_id=108

Is it working for you? Do you have a static or cached version? (I use cloudflare).

Cheers.

Hi there,

Yes it is loading fine here. No issues.
