WordPress 3.2 has released on July 4th and it seems to be not fully compatible with Hulk. When the update will go out for Hulk?
I will see it now. If I find that the theme is not compatible with WP 3 .2, I will release an update at my earliest. 
Hi
Your suggestions have solved the problem and I am delighted!
Thank you for your help!
philallum was helping me to solve the problem, so I am sure he will be happy too!
Thank you!
No problem
Hello again,
Couple of questions here -
How would I go about excluding a category from the Blog page monthly archives? My intention is to exclude the Homepage image sliders as well as News stories that show up when I click “June 2011” in the Archives widget in the sidebar. The category for the sliders is “11” and the category for the News posts is “17”. I want the Blog archives widget to ONLY display blog posts.
Additionally, I have some major issues with my footer – my intention here is to show the “Brandware Public Relations 2011” footer notes at left and at the right the same nav links as displayed at the top of the page with the addition of the “Top” link. Not sure how this footer got so out of control but I hope that you can please help.
Cheers!
Site is: http://malbert.theidealaunchlab.com/Hello Chris,
You can hide particular categories from archives page by editing the loop.php file. Open this file and look for the code:
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
Just after this line, append a conditional statement as:
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if ( !in_category( array(11, 17) ) ) {
and before the end of loop, close the brace:
} // End archives check endwhile; // End the loop
About the footer, it looks fine right now. It will show as a vertical bullet list until you specify and configure a secondary menu inside Appearance > Menus.
Regards
Hey Victoria,
Are you the user “philallum” who asked the same question above. You can refer to my reply to that comment. The image URLs are invalid. They contain a colon after the domain name. Further, try to keep image names without hyphens.
Regards
Hello,
Can you please help with any suggestions. I use 123-reg as hosts. I cannot get my slider to show the posted images, and picking up on a previous post, I emailed 123-reg to check they support php-GD library.
This is their response:
“I can confirm GD libraries are enabled, however I suspect this theme utilises ‘timthumb.php’ or ‘thumb.php’ which is too server resource intensive on our shared platform and is more suited to a VPS or dedicated server. http://www.123-reg.co.uk/servers 123-Reg do not offer comprehensive scripting, coding or debugging support I’m afraid so the first point of correction should be the software author or vendor themselves who have created the software you have installed as they will have experience of the application. Any server side amendments that are needed to allow your scripts to run that the software vendor advise our engineers will then consider implementing server side for you.”
Do you please have any suggestions I could go back to them with?
Many Thanks
Victoria
Hello Victoria,
Kindly send me the URL of your installed theme. May be the issue is with image URLs or the directory permissions.
I’ll make sure your images show up.
Regards
I’ve now run out of things to check, I know you have had this problem raised a number of times so apologies, but could you please shed any light on why the timthumb slider script isn’t working on my site (i’m thinking of slamming my head in a door!)
http://www.newburyimageandcolour.co.uk/wordpress/Hello there,
The image URL is invalid. Try to use underscore or alphabet names for images. Currently, the image name contains hyphen which might be causing the problem. Below is the error generated by timthumb:
invalid url<br />Query String : src=http://www.newburyimageandcolour.co.uk:/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/shutterstock_HEAD-RED.jpg&w=960&h=378&zc=1&q=100<br />TimThumb version : 1.25
Further, there is a “colon” just after the .co.uk. i.e. .co.uk:. Remove that colon from the URL .
P.S. Please try to post a comment from the account from which you purchased the file. It helps us in verifying the actual buyer.
Regards
Hi, i’m new with this theme and i don´t know how to set the images at the slider.
sorry for my english, and thnk you
Hi there,
For a quick note, you will populate slider by creating some posts and assigning featured image URLs to them. Next, you would provide the category IDs inside theme options panel to show on slider.
You can find detailed instructions inside your download package/documentation/index.html file. Kindly go through each step as inside the table of contents. Let me know if you need further help.
Regards
i will try to do it!!
Thanks!!
Hi SaurabhSharma,
i’m using your HULK Theme for my website www.andreferratoprogetti.it
I have a little problem: publishing the link of an article on my facebook page, as preview image i get a big blue icon with a “G” (it seems a gravatar icon) instead of the pic in the article.
Can you help me?
Thanks Sax
Hello Sax,
The link you posted doesn’t seem to work. If an article is showing a Gravatar icon, it means that image is trying to pull Author avatar. I can tell more if I can see the link. Or you can send me a screen shot at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.
Regards
Hi!
I just sent you by email the correct URL address!
Thanks for your kind help!
Sax
Hey Saurabh,
Excellent theme, just what I was looking for. I have a pre-purchase question, does this theme support the WP-125 plug-in?
Many thanks in advance.
Shaun
Hello Shaun,
Yes, the theme supports WP-125 Plugin. After you install the plugin, you can use the plugin widget to display 125px ads on the sidebar.
You will need to make a small change inside wp125.css file as:
#wp125adwrap_2c .wp125ad { width:125px; float:left; padding:5px; }
i.e. the padding should be 5px instead of 10px. This will make the images float properly inside the sidebar.
Regards
Greetings Saurabh, congrats on the great theme. I’m having the same problem as described in creagenio’s first post above. I’m a native English speaker so I’ll go into more detail; maybe things will be clearer.
Here’s my setup:
- WP 3 .1.3 - I had Hulk installed in themes/hulk12 and did a fresh install of the new version at themes/hulk13
When Hulk 1.3 is the active theme and a new post is created, the Post Options | Featured Image field does not work. Clicking “Publish” refreshes the page and erases whatever image URL was pasted into the Featured Image field, and the Post is published to the site with no image.
When Hulk 1.2 is the active theme this problem does not occur.
Interestingly enough if the theme is then changed from Hulk 1.2 to Hulk 1.3, posts created under 1.2 remain working even if they could not be created correctly while 1.3 was active.
...
Could you also explain the purpose and functionality of the Featured Image metabox? It is new in Hulk 1.3 but isn’t mentioned anywhere in the documentation.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I just re-checked the theme with a fresh install and found the bug. There occurred a variable name mismatch while updating the code. I am uploading the fix.
Meanwhile, you can grab the corrected file by dropping me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I truly apologize for the inconvenience caused due to this issue.
Regards
Hello,
I am Spanish, my English is not good. Sorry.
When I insert the image url in Featured Image URL and published the post, the URL disappears and is not published any pictures.
Any solution?
Thanks
Hello creagenio,
Featured image URL is used to populate slider and portfolio gallery. For blog posts, you can insert images manually using the img tag or the Frame Visual Short Code.
Please note that providing a featured image URL will not insert image into the post automatically. I have left that option to insert manually, so that you can insert an image with any size and alignment.
Regards
Hello SaurabhSharma
this is my home: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8140/imagen3mi.png
images do not appear and dummy_data only see a link
I like a portfolio in the home under de slide.
Thanks
Hi again,
Nothing to worry. While using the dummy data, you will need to replace image URLs with the ones on your server. For example, the image URL in dummy data would be showing:
<img src="http://labs.saurabh-sharma.com/themes/hulk/wp/wp-content/uploads..." />
You would replace this URL with the image inside your uploads folder as:
<img src="http://yoursite.com.com/wp-content/uploads.../your_image.jpg" />
And to avoid any confusion, the HOME page 4 column images are placed manually using the column short code. They are not pulled from portfolio template.
Regards
Saurabh,
I noticed that the theme was updated to 1.3. What’s the best way to update from 1.2 ?
I assume I would have to reenter all the custom css, and other php changes is that correct?
Thanks again, Al
Hello again,
Version 1.3 contains entire code update and optimization. This would not affect the site functionality. Just that I have fixed uninitiated php variables and other things as per latest php standards.
Feature specific changes include support for Contact Form 7 plugin and WP Gallery with attachments page. If you have not made any changes to the php core files, you can replace entire theme EXCEPT style.css file.
Inside style.css file, the changes include addition of contact from7 style elements inside Section 10. FORMS . You can copy that part to your old style.css file.
If you have made changes to some php files, below is the list that contains feature specific changes:
- includes/page_options.php
- includes/theme_admin_options.php
- admin/admin.css
- admin/admin.js
- functions.php
- added attachments.php
Regards
Thanks for the detailed information and prompt reply.

Saurabh,
I’m experimenting with the best way to show a portfolio of Flash VR images, and was trying to see if it could work with prettyPhoto – PP links the portfolio thumbnail to a full size image – is it possible to simply create a different custom link for the thumbnail or is it hardwired in?
I assume it is no different, than say a thumbnail linking to a movie.
I have created a page with columns and manually inserted thumbnails which link up to Shadowbox showing the Flash VRs, and it works fine, but was just wondering if you knew of an an easier way thru prettyPhoto in the portfolio pages.
If it’s more complicated, I’ll just keep it as is with the manual coding.
Thanks again for an excellent theme.
Al Ferreira
Hello Al,
That would not be too difficult to accomplish. You can send me an e-mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. While sending the mail, include details such as which portfolio template you are using (3 col, 4 col etc) and the link (href) details. I will make necessary changes.
Regards
Thanks for your prompt reply. I’ll contact you next week after I finalize the portfolio page contents.
I appreciate your continued great support.
Thanks,
Al
Hi,
i have the following question: I set up the Home page as a blog page, with a right column.
Everything is ok except: There is no “Default Featured Widget Area” displayed (no search box, no title).
I tried also to add the option “Create an exclusive featured widget area” on this blog page. But the Exclusive Widget Area is not displayed.
Can you please tell me what´s going wrong? Url is http://wordpress.p21918.webspaceconfig.de/
Thank you, best regards,
Andreas
Hello Andreas,
The home page is coded to “show slider” and “hide featured area”. i.e. it is not a bug. It is deliberately made to hide on home page. If you wish to show Slider as well as the featured area just below the slider, I will make some changes to the core file.
If you wish to give it a try, open header.php file and look for line no. 171 as:
<?php if( !is_home() && !is_front_page() ):?>
Simply delete this conditional statement, and also delete the closing endif tag at line no. 197 as:
<?php endif; // Featured Area ?>
You can mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com if you find any difficulty.
Regards
Thank you very much, it works perfect!
Another question: Is it possible that every picture in the posts would be opened in the perfect pixel window?
Because we are migrating a blog with 4000 posts to the new theme, we can not set that “by hand”.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards, Andreas
Hello Andreas,
Sorry I couldn’t get “Perfect Pixel Window”. Do you mean the prettyPhoto lightbox? If so, the lightbox shows all available images on one page that have a rel attribute set to same gallery/group name. If the posts are paginated, the lightbox will show only images from posts that are visible on that particular page.
You can elaborate your requirement so that I can suggest the solution in detail.
Regards
Oh, sorry. I had to do with a script called “Perfect Pixel Window” the last time. I meant the prettyphoto lightbox, you are right.
Yes, we use pagination (with the plugin pagenavi). You can see it on the link i posted earlier. In the first post i have set the prettyphoto code by hand. But if you scroll down to “Smartphone Optimierung…” you can see a normal, imported posting from the theme which we use now. With the old theme every image is opened with another lightbox plugin. Is that here possible too?
Thank you, regards,
Andreas
Hi again,
Yes that is possible. We can do so by automatically adding a rel attribute to the images that are wrapped inside an anchor link. For that, open js/custom.js file and look for this snippet at around line no. 44:
// -- PRETTYPHOTO INIT
$s("a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group1]'], a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group2]']").prettyPhoto({theme:'light_square', showTitle:false, opacity:0.6})
Now, add the following code just above the prettyphoto call:
$s('.content').find("a:has(img)").attr('rel', 'prettyPhoto[group2]');
Now your code will look like:
// -- PRETTYPHOTO INIT
$s('.content').find("a:has(img)").attr('rel', 'prettyPhoto[group2]'); // Newly added
$s("a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group1]'], a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group2]']").prettyPhoto({theme:'light_square', showTitle:false, opacity:0.6})
Save the file and you should see the images opening in prettyPhoto.
Off Topic: I just noticed that the left aligned images do not have a right margin. Inside style.css file, you can set margin for left and right aligned images as:
.alignleft {
float: left;
margin: 0px 18px 18px 0px;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
margin: 0px 0px 18px 18px;
}
Regards
You are the absolutely best . Thank you!
Everything works perfect!
Best regards, Andreas
Okay, we just missed one thing. The gallery now captures images from popular posts too. (The cat images). This is because Popular posts have same rel attribute. You can make a small fix by changing the group name to group3 and adding the same to the prettyPhoto plugin call:
// -- PRETTYPHOTO INIT
$s('.content').find("a:has(img)").attr('rel', 'prettyPhoto[group3]'); // Damit jedes Foto via prettyphoto lightbox aufgeht - danke an den Theme-Ersteller
$s("a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group1]'], a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group2]'], a[rel^='prettyPhoto[group3]']").prettyPhoto({theme:'light_square', showTitle:false, opacity:0.6})
After making these changes, remove any manual placement of prettyPhoto image (as you did for the first post), and let all images of blog posts take this group3 attribute automatically.
Regards
You are right – but the new code works perfect!
Thank you
Best regards, Andreas
- I figured it out. The google analytics plugin was causing a conflict **
I am in a bit of a panic!
I messaged in the past about how to make a call to the pretty photo plugin for a pop text box. Everything was working fine up until a few minutes ago when I bagna getting the following error when I click on a the link to open the prettyphoto text box.
“Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exists”
What could have happened and how can I fix?
Thank you.
Chiguy
Hello chiguy,
“Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exists” notification occurs when the href attribute is set to a URL that doesn’t exist. For example, in the following code:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/non_existing_image.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto[group1]">Click me</a>
The link will show that error because the image might not be existing, or the URL is not proper. You can re-check that href attribute. You can also post that code snippet here or mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com so that I can look in detail.
Regards
Hello i have little problem on server is short code not parsing. any idea for fix ? http://norealeas.23psd.com/
Thanks
Hello 23psd,
Some of the short codes are parsing while others not. You need not worry, it is just about appropriate spacing and line breaks.
While editing a page/post, switch on to HTML mode and make sure there are no p or br tags. Each short code must be separated by one complete carriage return. If you are using short codes adjacently, make sure you separate them with one space.
If you find it confusing, kindly drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com along with your login details. I will try to rectify it.
Regards
Thanks SaurabhSharma, im not worry its clean install of last WP version, (3.1.3) your theme and standard XML data import (dummy data xml from template pack), this problem is on one server on the other server with the same WP, theme install working good. Was only question for idea fix this problem on server (maybe settings like register_globals ), But congrats. realy good work on template
quick and I think easy question to answer:
How to I create excerpts of posts on the blog index page – now the full post is showing, I would like to show an excerpt with image as you have in your sample.
http://enviromaxhvac.com/?page_id=40
Thanks!
Hello there,
That would be simple. While editing a post, you can insert an image manually using the img tag or the built in [frame] short code. In most general case, the post content shown in live preview is as:
<img title="my image" src="url_to_image_in_media_library" height="298" width="590" />Rest of the post content can go here. <!--more--> Post content after the more link. The more quick tag will break down the post content in to an excerpt.
As shown above, you will need to insert a more quick-tag in order to break the post into an excerpt.
Regards
Thank you very much – it worked!
One more question: I set up a Portfolio – “Gallery” with project image thumbnails and titles. The thumbnails link to the prettyphoto image viewer – how do I make the titles link to the prettyphoto view as well? Currently, they link to a post – which is not want to happen. Thanks!
Hi again,
For having titles link to prettyphoto, we will need to change the links accordingly. Kindly mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com so that I can provide you these changes. Also let me know which portfolio template you need to get changed. If all, I won’t mind doing that too.
Regards
I have a quick question:
How do I show the search bar in my site?
I see it on the demo site and I also have seen the search bar on some other sites within the comment section here, but I’ve been customizing my site very patiently and diligently and I can’t find the option for the search bar.
Thanks
Hello there,
For using a search bar, go to Appearance > Widgets. Next, drag the search widget inside the “Default featured widget area” or the “Default sidebar” widget area. Save the widget, and you’re done.
Regards
Some questions:
How to define fullwith in a post? How to list posts in One Third w/ Sidebar Layout Column? How to automatically show feature image in a post?
Tanks
Hello moctezuma,
Full width is for Pages. The posts will show sidebar by default. You can not have a full width post page.
Featured images need to be inserted using the img tag manually inside the post content, so that you can insert image of your desired width/height and alignment.
Posts show up in two_third column with one_third sidebar width. If you wish to show recent, popular posts inside a sidebar, you can use the widgets available within the theme.
Let me know if you have further queries.
Regards
Hi. I have a little problem with the plugin Contact Form 7.
I can’t create a new form. All that I can do for creating a new form is duplicate the default form and than change the input values. With an other theme everything works fine, but with Hulk the Ajax pop-up does not come up when I click “create a new form”.
Can you help me?
Thanks so much.
Rado
Hello Rado,
Kindly mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com to grab the fix. I will update that fix on the main download very soon.
