Hi, I either completely looked over it or it wasn’t stated in the theme but when the options and pricing are available and you click the purchase button…

Is there a basic shopping cart system in place already with this theme or will it require another wp plugin?

And will the theme be capable of seamlessly working with a shopping cart plugin?

Thanks so much!

Hello there,

The pricing grid buttons are dummy ones. There is no shopping cart feature. But yes, the theme will work fine with shopping cart plugins.

You may need to style the elements generated by the plugin. i.e. CSS styling for external plugins is not included in the theme, except for wp-pagenavi and contact form7.

Hi, Don’t know if it’s only me – but I can’t seem to find the Update Log for version 1.3?

Can find it for version: June 16th 2011 – Version 1.1

and

July 5th 2011 – Version 1.2

but not for 1.3?

Best Regards

Hello qaid,

Sorry, the update log is yet to update. There were some php notice fixes as mentioned by one of the buyers.

Is there any way to disable “target=_blank” from button links?

Hello sharedearth,

For disabling target=”_blank”, open includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file and look for line no. 259:

return '<a href="'.$link.'" class="'.$btn_class.' '.$color_class.' '.$size_class.'" target="_blank">'.do_shortcode($content).'</a>';

Delete target=”_blank” and save the file. That would be all.

Regards

Any update on this theme? Thanks

Hello zhonghua,

There is a minor bug fix inside portfolio 4 column. If you have some specific feature in mind, you can share it. I will see if that can be implemented in next update (and whether it can be useful to a number of buyers).

Regards

Dear Saurabh,

Thanks for great theme! I have just one notice regarding four-columnar portfolio. It looks perfect in all browsers but Safari. I am using Safari 5.0.5 on Mac and see just one column instead of four. And even in this column images are shown with shift in each row. Ref. page for compatibility tests: http://labs.saurabh-sharma.com/themes/cruz/wp/?page_id=134

There’s another problem I am experiencing with theme. My site was attacked recently so I reinstalled the whole site from scratch based on WP 3 .2.1 and Cruz theme. I’ve left database intact. And now I could not get menus and jQuery-powered graphics working. Firebug reports error:

f.easing[e.animatedProperties[this.prop]] is not a function http://prime-holiday.b.com.ua/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1 Line 18

Affected site located at http://prime-holiday.b.com.ua/

Although I use child theme to modify header image, some CSS , add custom post types, taxonomies and shortcodes, it have no influence on animated elements behavior.

Could you help with getting back dynamic menu and images?

PS: Before attack my site was running WP 3 .1.2 without problems with menu and images.

Thank you, Dmitry

Hello Dmitry,

The theme got updated to version 1.3 (after the release of WP3 .2). There was a JS conflict with the easing plugin. After upgrading to the latest version, your JS effects, menu, images etc will work fine as before.

Portfolio 4 Column: Yes, this is a glitch caused at my side. There is a missing closing div of the portfolio titles. Inside port4.php file at around line no. 60, you will need to add a closing div just after the closing anchor tag:

<div class="port_content">
<a href="..." class="port_title"></a>
</div> // Insert closing DIV
<?php } ?>

I apologize for this minor yet silly mistake. This will be rectified in next update very soon.

Thanks and regards

Hi Saurabh, Thank you for an awesome theme! You’ve been incredibly helpful and extremely quick in answering the questions I asked. I think this theme is incredibly versatile and very well put together. Keep up the great work and thank you again!

Regards, Jennifer

Thank you for your kind words, Jennifer.

I like the default background that this theme comes with for the blocked layout but I would like to alter the colors of the pattern. What’s the best way for me to go about this?

Thanks!

Hello Caitlynmayers,

The background is set inside style.css line no. 46:

body { background:#e0e0e0 url(images/dots.png); background-attachment:fixed }

The dots.png inside images folder is used as pattern. You can either create a similar file in photoshop or use any other pattern. If you need some sample patterns, you can drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you some pixel patterns.

Regards

Thanks! I can’t get the image to show when I use the “Insert Image with Styles” option in the page I’m editing. Here’s the code that gets inserted.

[frame src=”http://02c0d46.netsolhost.com/ingenco/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/chesterfield.jpg” width=”204” height=”160” style=”2” linkstyle=”normal” linksto=”http://ingenco.com” title=”Henrico”]

If I use a normal image link, it works fine and shows the image, but using the styling options doesn’t show the image.

Thanks for your speedy reply last time!

Hello again,

It seems you are using a temporary URL . Timthumb script may not work well with temporary URL like the one you mentioned. (http://02c0d46.netsolhost.com/)

Once you switch on to a permanent URL , your images will show up properly. I tried viewing that URL but access was forbidden.

Hi,

I just purchased this theme yesterday. Great Theme.

When I choose the asc option on the slider my images don’t display.

Also, how might I choose the order of the images that do display.

Thanks for such a great theme and what appears to be exceptional service based on the comments.

Suzanne

Hello Suzzane,

I just re-tested both Sliders (Cycle and Nivo) with asc and desc options. They seem to work fine.

The slides will appear as “latest first” (by default when desc is opted). WordPress posts also appear as latest first. So, if you wish to show a particular slide at first place, you would publish it in the end.

But in our case, the option of asc/desc can be used to change the order of slides. You can drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, along with your site URL so that I can look further about the issue.

Regards

Any advice on changing the colour of the menu bars?

thanks

Hi there,

Can you drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you necessary steps and instructions for that.

Regards

Hey Saurabh,

Any chance you could advise me on the diemnsions for a custom background to add to the template?

Thanks

R

Hello Ryan,

If you are using a Boxed Layout, you can set body background via built in “Background Option” inside WordPress.

The theme width is 960px, with 30px padding on left and the right sides. That makes inner area 900px. Inside style.css file, all selectors with a _wrap name are the containers of different sections. For example:

.header_wrap { } // Header container
.featured_wrap { } // Featured Container
.primary_wrap { } // Main page body container
.secondary_wrap { } // Secondary area container

All these wrappers are 960px in width (including padding). Let me know if you are trying to add background to some other section.

something wrong with the slider after upgrading to 3.2.1? :( there is a 1 feature image which I don’t where it came from without a link too..

Hi there,

I just tested the theme with WP 3 .2.1. everything looks fine.

You can cross check if the images still reside inside the ‘uploads’ folder. Or you can check the Media Library. It happens to me while upgrading the WP via FTP . The uploads folder gets empty.

If this doesn’t work, send me your site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, I will look into it.

Regards

Its fixed mate.. It was cause by a plugin :) thanks

Hi, I recently upgraded to the new Wordpress version and all my images have been lost. i have tried to re upload them but to no avail. It seems as though the slider is disappearing on page load. Can you help?

Hello coady,

Are you using the latest version (1.3) of the theme? If not, the latest version will work with WP3 .2+.

If you have already upgraded to the latest theme version, you can check the following:

1. After upgrading WordPress, the ‘uploads’ folder may get empty. In that case, check the Media Library if those images still exist. If the images are not there, you will need to re-upload them and assign to the posts. This generally happens while upgrading WordPress via FTP .

2. You can cross check if the permissions on scripts/cache folder are still the same after the upgrade.

Let me know if this doesn’t work. I will see further.

Regards

Hi The case is still a problem. I really have no idea whats wrong. All the images have disappeared.

Hi Coady,

Send me your site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will look into it.

Regards

Regarding the tabbed styling on the front page. I have a bounding box and some background grey. Unlike the one depicted on your live site. I was wanting to know how I can fix this.

Regards

DP

Hello DP,

Can you post a URL of the site. I can only tell after looking at the site or at the screen shot.

Hi,

I couldn’t figure out how to enable the title text / tagline on the top. Would anyone be able to help?

Thank you!

Hello Ryan,

Do you mean the Page titles inside gray featured area box, just after the header? They will show page titles by default. And you can also customize them inside page options panel for a PAGE . There you will see a field for “Custom Page Caption”.

Imp: The page titles are forced to hide on Home page. There you will see Slider instead of Page titles area.

If the issue is something different, you can share your site URL so that I can look in detail.

Regards

Hello – How do I remove the black box, on the bottom right hand corner of the front page slider?

breadoflifechurchde.org

Hello Ron,

Do you mean the “bottom left” black caption box? If so, you can disable that inside post options.

Open/edit your slider post and scroll down to the “Post Options”. You will see a checkbox for hiding the captions. Enable that, and the black box will hide. :)

Is this the process for adding those images and text to the front page? I’m not sure if this is what I was referencing. In the Cruz template these sections are titled Sturdy Theme Options, Visual Shortcodes, Custom Widget and Useful Style Elements.

Thanks!

Hello Ron,

The entire process of adding images to the slider, and to the portfolio is described inside documentation/index.html file.

When is 1.3 going to be available for download?

Hello sharedeath,

The update is available now. :)

Ah, thank you, I was waiting for the Update Log to be updated.

Will do it soon today. :)

How do I add the four boxes (appears on the Cruz preview) on my site?

Thanks.

Hi again,

The automated sections are Portfolio templates, blog templates, contact page, widgets, slider etc.

But when it comes to custom page content, you will have to craft it according to your needs. i.e. it can be two-columnar, three-columnar, full width etc. To make your task easier, I have provided visual short codes, dummy content etc. Some manual work will be required to create content of custom needs. :)

Regards

Under what section in the documentation can I find the steps? Thanks

Hello Ron,

You can find them inside “15. Visual Short Codes and Style Elements”. You can also copy/paste the contents of dummy_data/home.txt file to get started.

Regards

Hi,

How do I slow down the slider? Its around 3 Seconds rotation now, I would like to change it to 5 Seconds.

Thanks again

Hi mate,

For Cycle Slider, open js/custom.js file and edit line no. 96 onwards as:

    $s('.cycle_slider').cycle({ 
        fx:     'fade', 
        speed:  400, 
        timeout: 4000, 

For Nivo Slider, open js/nivo_init.js file and edit line no. 11 and 12 as:

        animSpeed:400, // Slide transition speed
        pauseTime:3000, // How long each slide will show

Regards

Sorry, Disregard the question about the RSS FEED . Problem solved, was permission issues.

Thanks

No problem. :)

Hi,

Another question. This might be silly but how do I go about setting up a RSS feed for this theme??? I thought it was automatic. I get this message when I click on the RSS feed button:

Safari can’t open the page. Safari can’t open the page “feed://xxxx.com/feed”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.” (PubSub:2) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

Thanks agian! Regards
