hello,

Do you have a example with a dark main content and not just the menu ?

thx

Hi,
Thank you for reaching us! We have seen some samples on our buyers websites, but we should not share them here (it is not very polite). If you want to see a sample we can build a screenshot for you very quickly. If you want this please send a link to the page that you want to see a test.
Also, if you buy the theme we can also help you setting up the theme options/colors.
Cheers :)

hm, if you want you can send me some example on babelcommunication at hotmail fr

:)

Hi,
Here’s something we built within the browser (it is just a rough example): http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/699974/2ea6452ba3addf1d8d1ddac02f01759f

Hi, great theme, is it possible to change the underline of the main menu items to a dotted underline instead of solid? Also how do i add the search button to the menu bar like in the demo?

Kind regards, Dermot

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! About the line: please send us a private message with a link to your website and we’ll help you (we need to see the colors that you are using).
About the search button: go to Appearance>Widgets and add the search widget to the Left Sidebar.
Cheers :)

Hi, There is a lot of white space between each of my rows, and I wanted to reduce the space between each row. I tried setting the bottom margin to 0px, but that didn’t work.

You can see what I mean here: http://ipdorthocentre.tidalismdesign.com/get-involved/

How do I reduce the space?

Hi
Thank you for purchasing! You can add Vertical Spacers with negative values, but the easy way seems to be placing the elements inside the same row (instead of using a row for each element).
Cheers!

I’m getting errors installing the required plugins Visual Composer & Samba Framework from the external plugins folder in the theme. It’s returning this to me:

The plugin does not have a valid header. Downloading install package from http://[....mywebsite....]/wp-content/themes/samba/external_plugins/js_composer.zip…

Hi, thank you for purchasing! Please try to upload and install the plugins directly from your local machine/theme folder. If you still have trouble please send us a private message with the WP login details. Cheers!

That’s what I’ve done. How do I send a private message?

We have received your message and we will comment soon. Cheers!

Hi I have a problem with my webpage after upgrading wordpress. I’m using the Samba theme

Hi again. Now something else is wrong. It seems like a lot of the funktion on visual composer is gone. Sov it’s shoving the code on the frontend.

Hi,
The theme adds and removes some Visual Composer elements. It seems that you have created these elements with a version of Visual Composer that was not included with the theme.
The theme should have alternatives to all those page elements, but if there’s something that you need and it is not provided with the theme, please send us a private message with a link and explain what you would like to see added to the theme.
Cheers!

Ok. I will. Thank you.

Hi, I´m trying to update my footer details but changes don´t take place.

Can you give me a help?

hello, i’m having trouble with the newest update. When done without plugins it only shows white pages. When i add the plugins, i loose most element design / colors on pages created with visual editor. http://www.agentiadeprint.ro/

Please follow these steps:
1) Update the theme;
2) Deactivate and delete Samba Framework plugin (you will not lose any information);
3) Go to Appearance>Install plugins and re-install Samba Framework and Visual Composer (if you haven’t already);
If you still have trouble send us a private message (contact form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/pirenko ) with the WP login details so that we can analyze this situation.
Cheers :)

Now it works, but most of the elements lost their formatting. Any idea why?

If you still have trouble send us a private message (contact form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/pirenko ) with the WP login details so that we can analyze this situation.

I´ve updated to last version and now I have a strange “descripción” word near Home in the menu.

You can see it here: http://indusmatic.com/

Thanks.

I´m using WPML. Thanks

That situation does not seem to be related with the theme. Please take a quick look here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/saving-menu-translation-shows-404-error/ and if you still have trouble please contact WPML and report that situation. Cheers!

Ok, thanks

Whats is “http://coveroverflow.com/a/11381730/989439 ” for? Wordfence is considering it malware.

Starts at Line 5024 os the main.js file /wp-content/themes/samba/js/main.js

It is a script to detect mobile. There’s nothing wrong with it. We will remove that link on the next update anyway. Cheers!

Updated visual composer the other day due to a message I got about a security issue. Everything seemed to be working fine until today. Now I’m having an issue with shortcodes. I tried re-installing the original version that came with the Samba theme, but I’m still having issues with the shortcodes. Can you please help me get my site back to normal?

You are mixing old theme versions with the latest version of Visual Composer and that is why it is not working properly. Please update the theme and the bundled plugins all together. If you need help updating the theme please follow this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjBLV58VhYw&index=15&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Thanks!

Thank you. Just an FYI, I had notifications for updates turned on, but I have not received any notifications for any updates. That would have solved everything.

Unfortunately, now I am having a problem with the theme buttons. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it centered (like it was before I updated). I had everything perfect, and I hate that I have to go back and tweak all this stuff just because of an update.

Hi,
Please send us a private message with a link for a quick check on the buttons situation (you should be able to center them if you change the parent row text align option to centered).
Cheers!

Hello Pirenko,

I have installed the Template on http://bp.gobrig.com/ and its looking great however, there is a minor change I am looking forward to make on the front page. The slides should be triggered using the scroll down/up (mouse) or scroll down/up arrows (keyboard) instead of scroll left/right.

Please guide me how to do it.

Regards, Khizar Iqbal

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! This is not a theme option and you will have to edit (at least) the main.js file to achieve that. Cheers!

Hello, I just want to know if its posible to take out the text “Get in Touch” on the Samba Theme on the portfolios.

Thanks

Hi, yes, that is possible. Cheers!

can you tell me how ? thanks

Hi,
We don’t see any purchase 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!

Hi,

I’ve updated Samba theme and Js Composer for the security patch but there are bigs problems with shortcodes on my homepage ! See http://www.patmay-projects.com/

The “Latest portfolio” shortcode doesn’t show the skills and if I use Styled title, it doesn’t work at all, no style.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Probably you haven’t updated the Samba Framework accordingly. Please make sure that you do that and if you still have trouble please send us a private message with the WP login details for a quick check.
Cheers!

Hi! Is it safe to update the Visual Composer plugin? When I tried to replace version 4.5 (which you say is tweaked to work with Samba) with the latest version 4.7.4 I get a lot of shortcodes showing public on pages. Thanks for any suggestions on this.

My site went white since I updated the theme and then I was forces to updated the plugins as well. The shortcodes are not showing anymore but many of my pages look bad and I have lost information in service boxes. Can you please take a look and see what can be done? Will send you an email with credentials. Thanks.

Hi,
It seems that some files were missing from your install. Everything should be ok now. Thanks!

Here you are. I´ve received this message from Envato: We are getting in touch to let you know about multiple XSS security vulnerabilities in the Visual Composer WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.7.4 (releases prior to October 2, 2015).

And this: if Visual Composer came integrated in your theme, then ask your theme provider to update Visual Composer for you.

Are you aware of this? I´m using your theme Samba in my web. Tell me something please.

Do I need to update wordpress also, before updating theme and pluguin? I´m using Wordpress 4.0.8 and Samba 3.4

Thanks

Hi,
We are aware of that situation and the latest theme update already includes that security fix. So, you can just follow the usual update process for theme and bundled plugins. You should also keep WordPress updated.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, Hope you are well.

Can you look at this page:

http://www.ultimatedesignhats.com/product-category/winter-hats/

at the bottom where you select page 2, NUMBER 2 is white, how can I change that to black ? Thanks a lot

Hi,
That color is related with the theme options that you currently have. If you only want to change that specific color the CSS element to target is .woocommerce nav.woocommerce-pagination ul li a
Cheers!

Hi,

I noticed some formatting issues on a website that I use Samba with. The formatting issue in particular seems to only be for IE9. I’ve tested it with IE10, IE 11, Firefox, and Chrome and they seem to be working fine.

The website has two columns. One is a content column and the other to the right of the content column has text blocks that are aligned with different paragraphs that they correspond to.

In IE9 instead of showing up next to their respective paragraph, they are displayed underneath their respective paragraph and the content column stretches to fill where the right hand column would normally be.

It’s almost as if the second column is disappearing. Just wondering if you had any idea of how to fix this?

Hi, please send us a private message with a link so that we an analyze the content. Cheers!

Greetings, so our website is live and looking great. Question: On the tablets, while viewing the carousal, if you click on an item, it stretches it and shows you the image, however only the “title” is clickable to be taken to its page, how can I make the Image itself clickable and take the user to the page. right now it does nothing.

Still trying to figure this out…. can i add function that if the image is double taped it will take the user to its link?

Clicking on the title is unacceptable for this client. but default a person is not going to know to click the title, and instead will think the website is broken.

Hi,
Well, it is intended to be like that and the same thing happens on the theme preview. Also, that particular element was not coded by us. It is a plugin that is included with the theme http://codecanyon.net/item/accordion-slider-responsive-and-touch-accordion/140404 – so we can’t tell exactly what need to be changed.
If you can’t do that customization and really need that change, you probably need to hire someone to implement that.
Cheers!

Thanks i’ll get in touch with t hem.

Hello! I can’t get access to the page http://www.laobracentrodeimagen.com/ I can’t also get access to http://laobracentrodeimagen.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wysija_campaigns

There is a note that appears when I try to : Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_create_nonce() in /home4/silv87d/public_html/wp-content/plugins/envato-wordpress-toolkit-master/index.php on line 936

There is no problem with the hosting ( I’ve already written to them)

Thank you very much for your attention!

Hi, please erase that plugin folder and install it again. Thanks!

Can you give more details please? Thanks!

Hi, please erase the Envato WordPress toolkit folder. You can do this via FTP or using your hosting file manager. Send us a private message if you need help with this. Cheers!
