Hi There,
I really like the theme and all the options you give!
I just need help with one thing: I want more then the 4 columns that you propose in the Theme.
Could you tell me where to change the code and also what to write to give me a 5 column layout?
Thanks so much
Hello Franz,
Basically, we need to divide the 900px width into 5 columns with appropriate margin (around 25px to 30px). Next, these will be declared inside style.css file as .one_fifth class. And finally, we will register a short code to generate a DIV with this class name.
You can drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot] com. I will help you accomplish that.

I’ve installed the theme on a website, but when I make blog posts, the image is not showing. Can I email you the website I’m working on so that you can take a look at it?
Hi there,
The images aren’t inserted automatically. You need to insert them manually. Below is an example of the post content as shown on live preview:
[frame src="http://yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/14.jpg" width="590" height="216" title="My Image" align="none" linkstyle="pp" style="foldify"] Post content starts here. Write an excerpt before the more quick-tag. <!--more--> Rest of the post content.
By using the manual insertion, you can have a left or right aligned image, no-image or a full width image. You can also insert a Video by directly pasting the embed code just above the post content.
For allowing this flexibility, I didn’t hard coded the images to show up. As, not every article may have an image associated with it. 
Regards
But when I insert the image URL into the “Featured Image” field, the featured image doesn’t show up.
Hi again,
Featured image URL is used for generating slider images and portfolio thumbnails automatically. But inside the post content (content editor), you will need to INSERT the image using the <img src=".." /> tag.
i.e. while writing a post, you will need to insert an image (optional, to show on blog), as well as provide the featured image URL (for slider and portfolio purpose).
Hope I cleared your confusion.

Right, i understand now. Thanks
Hello,
This is a beautiful theme that I am considering purchasing. I’m a bit concerned that I can not seem to view an entire live preview. Is there a site that I can go to and see a live demo that won’t stop on me? I understand it’s issues with your server, but I must admit that does concern me a bit. The screen shots are not enough for me to make a determination.
Thanks,
Suzanne
Hello Suzanne,
I understand your point. But the live preview is the only site you can go through for now. I have tried several hosts and there is no workaround until I use a VPS or dedicated server. It will still take time till I manage to get a VPS .
Let me know if I can provide any specific screen shots or feature details that you may wish to inquire before deciding on a purchase.

Hi,
Is it possible to add a video in the Lightbox pop up feature???
Thanks
Hello,
Yes it is possible. You can do so using the [frame] visual short code. While inserting an image via [frame] short code, you can set the target URL to the video file, and select prettyPhoto as the link style. You can set these things inside the options panel that pop up when you click on the image/frame short code button.

Hi,
is it posible to gerate a filtered portfolio with your theme. Like Tabs for Design, Consulting, etc. within the Portfoliopage?
Thanks & Regards
Hello Matthias,
That can be achieved using the quicksand jquery plugin. I have not implemented it yet, so I can not assure you at this moment. The process involves populating the portfolio page with different category posts and re-organizing them with the plugin. For now, the theme can only offer a normal portfolio.

mate, hello.. got a lil problem with cruz twitter widget, it seems it doesn’t show for some time, (shows for some time again) ... and;
theme got some validation errors..
Thanks
Hello there,
Twitter widget uses twitter api which is linked to their site. Whenever twitter will be slow or down, it may affect on the twitter widget as well.
Regarding validation errors, you might be seeing ampersand related errors for timthumb URLs. You may also see some extra br or p tag errors from WordPress content filters. Are you seeing any other errors?
Regards
the twitter doesn’t show all the time, there is a time our tweets hasn’t showed up.. 
yes.. im seeing other validation errors not just from br and p tag, it might be from the plugins that im using, right? thanks dude
Hi again,
Can you post a URL of the site so that I can look the twitter widget.

I have included the slider on the home page, however the arrows (left and Right) do not appear. How can I include the arrows???
Also is it possible to use the Flash banner in the homepage rather that the Slider???
Thanks
Hello there,
If the arrows are not appearing, that means there is a JS conflict with some plugin. Can you post your site URL so that I can look further. coady2311 is having the same issue, so I want to make sure if the problem is common with the theme itself.
Yes, you can show flash banner on home page. That would only require some conditional statements inside header.php file. Kindly drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com so that I can provide you those changes.

Hi Purchased this theme and the slider was working fine until today. its just not loading the animation.
Its loading the images in the html???
Hi there,
If the slider was working before and not now, it is likely that you might have activated some plugin during this time. That plugin may be causing the javascript conflict. Because if the images are loading in HTML and not animating, this only means that the JS is getting disabled.
For a quick test, you can disable all plugins and test the site again. If the slider works, start enabling the plugins one by one until you find the one which is causing the conflict. This way, we will know where actually the error is.
Further, you can send me your site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com or post it here so that I can look in detail.

Another presales question: I’m developing a site and I’m pretty sure I’ll need to make a child theme or at least some custom page templates. Some themes are very complicated and difficult to customize because of their structure.
For example, are page templates handled in the default Wordpress way or in your own subfolder with custom functions?
Are child themes made in the default Wordpress way?
If you could email me a screencap of the file structure or a list, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Just purchased and installed, but I don’t seem to have Theme/CRUZ Options section under ‘Appearance’ as per the documentation. I also don’t have the ‘Page Options’ section when creating a new page. Please advise.
Hello J2000 ,
That is strange. Did you installed the theme folder “cruz” via FTP ? Make sure you have not uploaded the entire download package to the WordPress theme installation. If the installation is correct, kindly send me your site URL and login details (if you are comfortable with that). I will straightaway look into it.
Edit: Mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com
Regards
I’m developing locally (via MAMP ), maybe that has something to do with it – nevertheless, with all of the other themes I develop locally, I’ve never come across this problem before.
I uploaded only the theme directory (not the entire download package). Or could it be something to do with the fact that I bypassed using the WP theme upload wizard as advised in the documentation?
I’m running wp 3.1.3
Hi again,
In case of local server, you just need to drop the “cruz” folder inside wp-content/themes/ directory. That should not cause any problem. Check if the includes folder contain these two files: theme_admin_options.php and page_options.php.
These are the files that show up theme options and page options. If the problem persist, switch back to the twentyten theme, delete the “cruz” folder and drop a fresh new “cruz” folder to check the theme again.
Regards
Yep, tried all those, but still no luck
I’m gonna see if it’ll work with a live site of mine.
Hi again,
I just downloaded the theme, unzipped it and installed the “cruz” folder on localhost using WAMP server. The theme seems to work fine with all options. I did this to check if the download zip file was not corrupt. I will look forward to whether it works online. Keep me updated so that I can assist you further.
Regards
I tried it on one of my live sites and it’s working (CRUZ Options and Page Options is available), so it must be a problem with my locally installed site.
Okay. Thanks for updating.
Hello Saurabh, Did see you upgraded the theme to 1.1 – I installed the 1.0 version.
How do you upgrade the theme?
Thank you, Qaid
Hello qaid,
As described inside the Update Log:
Files that were modified: includes/popular_posts_widget.php and includes/recent_posts_widget.php
You can upgrade the theme by replacing the above mentioned files inside your 1.0 theme folder. You can grab these files by re-downloading the latest version.
Regards
Also, how do you handle support? Through the comments here or by private email?
Hello again,
I provide support via item comments page and by e-mails.

Great theme. I’ve removed both of the menus so I could use the Uber Menu plugin from codecanyon. I still want to have an editable area in the top right though (of the header). Is this possible?
Hello usahealth,
After removing the menus, the header widget area should still remain on top right side of the header section. You just need to drag a text widget inside that widget area, and use the content inside it.
I hope you have not deleted the widget area code from header.php file.
Regards
If I want some new features or modifications, can I hire you to customize the theme so it can still be updated with the regular updates?
Hello Vrob,
I can provide support related to bugs or theme setup. Currently, I would not be able to provide personal customization. I am there to assist you if you find any problem. Due to the number of support requests and current work, I am not taking any personal freelance work. Hope you understand my point.

break like < br >
Hello Jean,
Yes you would separate each li with a new line. Also, do not use a ul tag. That is hard coded inside the widget.
Regards
Figured it out. in order to distinguish slides you need to put a
line after each slide. =)
I am having trouble using the Cruz Content slider. I want li tag to be a different slide but, in the actual website it just lists all of the content I put
for examplejust actually list coffee, tea and milk , it doesn’t actually transition from coffee to tea. can you shed some light. I am going into widgets and selecting cruz content slider and placing it inside default secondary column 1.
What a great theme! I’ve just bought it and I’m building up a site with it now. Thanks for making it easy to work with.
A quick question – is there a way to add pages to the slider? It looks like it just works using the category ID at the moment.
Thanks, Marc
Hello Marc,
You are right. The slider fetches images from posts, and uses Category IDs. If you wish to link a slide to pages, you can do so by assigning a custom link to the slide inside post options.
You can also hide slider posts from rest of the site using custom Blog Template. However, they will be visible on search and archives.
Regards
Hi
Apologies is this is a duplicate question – doesn’t seem to be a caption overlay for the nivo slider. Do you have plans to add one in a future update?
I’d certainly be interested in purchasing the theme is it had this feature.
Cheers!
Hi there,
Captions are available for Nivo and Cycle slider. You can show default Post Titles, show custom caption with links, manage slide image links, and opt to show/hide captions. You can also disable links on images. On live preview, I have disabled default captions, as the slide images already contain captions that are processed in PhotoShop.
Regards
I see, cool.
Thanks!
Hello SaurabhSharma, When having a portfolio, when scrooling between more than 9 post in one portfolio i’ve only got “Older Post” and “Newer Post” links – while in the template it has “Page 1 of 3” and then a button for “1”, “2” and “3” along with a button for “Next” and “Prev”?
How do i change that?
Best Regards
Hello qaid,
The pagination (as on live preview) is done using wp-pagenavi plugin. The theme supports this plugin. You can download it from here.
Kindly go through the theme’s documentation file to know more about plugin’s settings.
Regards
