Saurabh,
Thanks for your reply about the update and the mobile device question – I understand why it would not work. It’s not very important now, in the future, I could simply create a simpler, separate theme just for mobile devices.
Thanks again for your great continued support.

Your welcome, Al. And thanks for your cooperation so far.

Hi Saurabh,
I noticed that you had an update to v1.5 which included changes to timthumb. Since I use your template for a photography site, might be a good idea to update.
In your update log, you mentioned that two specific files were changed -
Feature specific changes:
loop.php
scripts/timthumb.phpBecause of couple custom tweaks to css, can I simply just replace those two files with the new ones from 1.5 or were there changes somewhere else?
Also on another matter, I tried WPTouch plug-in to have a simpler site format for mobile devices but the shortcodes show up in the text. Do you know of another way or plug-in that might work?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Al,
You can simply replace those two files. No changes were made inside the CSS file except the version number.
Regarding Mobile device support, may be you are using the theme provided by WP-Touch. In that case, the short codes will show as text because that theme does not have the functions/code for these custom short codes.
The Hulk theme itself does not support Responsive Design. i.e. it will not automatically get adjusted according to the screen width of mobile devices. That can be achieved by creating entire theme with em or percentage values (instead of pixels). That also needs different queries to resize images accordingly. Hope you understand that.

Hi Saurabh,
Is it possible to integrate WP ecommerce in to the Hulk theme. Do some settings have te be changed or can ir seamlessly be intergrated?
Thank for you reply, best regards.
Hans
Hello Hans,
You can install WP Ecommerce on Hulk theme. You may only get some issues with the styling part. i.e. you will need to style it’s elements as they are not included with the theme’s style.css file.
Feel free to ask for if you get any issues.

Sharma, I checked with my web provider and Javascript is enabled. Any other thoughts?
Where would I place the JS files, not quite sure where to start there.
Hi again,
When you will upload the theme to the wp-content/themes folder, everything will go bundled with the theme. Make sure the JS files reside inside hulk/js/ directory. It is possible that all the files did not got uploaded.
You can check and re-upload those JS files via FTP or the file manager. Hope that will work. If not, let me know so that I will look further.

Hi, Sharma, I installed WordPress 3.2.1. Now the home page sliders do not work. What should I do? I have the Hulk theme ver. 1.2. Thank you
Hello Shyams,
You can download the latest version (1.4). It works fine with WP 3 .2. The update log on item description page contains details on which files to update.

Hi I just installed hulk and everything looks great. I can’t seem to get the sliders working though.
I’ve updated the necessary files to use banner images from pages instead of posts. I’ve set the appropriate ID’s to display and I’m not seeing any navigational sliders.
Am I missing something. The webpage is www.yprize-challenge.com
Hi there,
Your setup and configuration looks fine. No issue with that.
I suspect the JavaScript is disabled on your server. The Slider is populated with all the images but is not working due to non-availability of JS. Clicking on any of the JS file gives me a 404 error. Make sure the JS is not disabled on server. If so, try to enable it, or relocate the files (whether they exist on the server or not).

Hey there,
First off, you’ve got a great theme here!
I was just wondering if there was any way to create a page template that ignores shortcodes? I have the DSIDXPRESS plugin running and it seems to be having problems due to short codes.
I can remedy this when something is posted within wp-admin, by using raw, but I can’t seem to get a page template to do the same.
Thanks!!
Hello brdsi,
I have sent a reply to your mail.

Hello Saurabh,
Few questions on my site-in-progess www.malbert.theidealaunchlab.com
On the News page (under About Us in the menu) – I am trying to institute an “archive” widget in the exclusive “News” sidebar that will show a monthly archive that ONLY fetches posts from the category “News” (or 17).
Also, I am currently employing an archive widget on my blog page which is fetching ALL posts from ALL categories – this needs to be amended so that the archive widget on the exclusive “Drill Bits Blog” sidebar ONLY fetches posts from the category “Drill Bits Blog” (or 15).
These two separate archive widgets need to function independently on their own respective pages.
On a related note – I would like to know how to exclude certain posts (example: the category I have set for “Home Page Sliders” or 11) from the “Search” box I have set in the exclusive widget area on all interior pages.
As always thank you for your time and help. Cheers!
Hello Chris,
We can hide categories from archive list, but it is difficult to show two different archive lists from different links. i.e. The Archive widget is one, which you will use on two pages. Clicking on a month link will open all posts from all categories. Here we can exclude some.
This can be done by using a conditional statement inside loop.php:
if (is_search() && !in_category(11)) {
the_excerpt();
}
In the same way, it will be required to check for archives inside the same file. If you wish to avoid changing core files, here is a plugin which can be used to exclude categories from archives, search, RSS etc. Check it here.
Using this plugin, you would be able to hide custom categories. Regarding two separate results page, I’ll suggest to use the categories widget instead of the archives.

Hi, I updated thw theme with your newest version that works with te newest realease of WordPress. I works fine, expect for the home page slider. I use the slider for pages instead of categories. In the former version I could type the page-id to be shown on my home page.
How can I change this, so slider for pages instead of categories. Thanks for you quick reply!
Hans Baakman
Hello Hans,
For using page slider, you will need to replace following files from the “page_slider_updates” folder:
header.php
includes/page_options.php
includes/theme_admin_options.php
After replacing these files, you should see the option for providing page IDs inside theme options. You will also see a featured image option inside pages.

Hello Saurabh,
On Hulk, we set up homepage >settings > reading > front page displays > checked a static page.
When we try to add social media plug-ins (add to any, sexy bookmarks etc.) they run on homepage too. because they know homepage as a page. but i don’t want to use on homepage just want to run on pages. although set them just run on pages, they run on homepage too so asked to plug-ins authors. sexy bookmarks authors replied to me; “on the edit page, if you scroll down, there should be a section that allows you to disable SexyBookmarks on that specific page”. but on the edit page there is no section to disable plug-in.
Do you know how to disable social media buttons from homepage?
Thanks.
Hello jarmusch,
I just installed the SexyBokmarks plugin and checked the home page. There is an option for disabling the icons on a particular page. It reads as “Disable SexyBookmarks on this page.”
Actually it gets pushed down to the bottom of page after the “Revisions” panel. So make sure you scroll down the page completely to see that panel. If you still do not see it, check the screen options on top right corner of the page to reset all panel locations.
Hi,
Firstaful, awesome theme. Thank you. I have two questions to ask you;
1- I use Turkish on site so there are some special characters. I tried to change “Featured Area Heading Settings” font’s Droid to Arial but it didn’t change on web-site? How can i change it?
2- How can i change slider’s timer?
Thank you.
Hi there,
1. Make sure you have enabled “Use Custom Heading Settings” on the top of the Headings option page. Without enabling that, your custom settings will not take into effect.
2. Slider timings:
For Cycle Slider, open js/custom.js file, line no. 68, 69:
speed: 400, timeout: 4000,
For Nivo Slider, open js/nivo_init.js file, line no. 11, 12:
animSpeed:400, // Slide transition speed pauseTime:2000, // How long each slide will show

Thank you. I have over 50 pages and “Create an exclusive featured widget area”, “Create an exclusive sidebar” and “Create an exclusive secondary area” are unchecked on all of the pages but i have over 250 widgets. How can i remove these unnecessary widgets?
I could not understand. although 3 unique widgets unchecked on page, it adds unique widgets to widgets for each new page. there are over 200 widgets and widget system doesn’t work. i can not drag and drop.
Hello there,
This seems strange. Can you mail me your site URL and login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Hi again Saurabh,
Thank you for your quick responses. I know i ask you too much but last questions…
I use a polls plug-in. It shows special characters correctly on other themes. links: http://test.phpanswer.com and http://www.dauemk.org
You can see the ?Ç?? üö?? characters on that sites but when i use this polls on Hulk theme this special characters aren’t shown correctly. Do you know how can i fix it?
Thanks.
Hi there,
I can see the same characters as posted by you. ( ?Ç?? üö?? ). I have mailed you a screen shot. Are these characters meant to be different? We are using default Arial, Helvetica, Sans serif font. So there should not be any problem with the special characters.
Regards
Thank you so much!
Good day, Sharma! Installed WordPress 3.2.1. and ceased to operate a drop-down menu. What should I do? I do not know where to fix. Really need help! Thank you!
Hello mate,
I guess you are using older version of hulk. May be 1.2 or 1.3. The latest one is compatible to WP3 .2
You can quickly fix the JS issue by disabling jquery.easing.min.js file inside header.php script call.
wp_enqueue_script("jq-easing", $dir."/js/jquery.easing.min.js");
This file is no longer compatible to jquery 1.6. We aren’t using it quite often except for some easing methods on the sidebar slider. So, you can remove it from header.php file.
Hi great theme! Is there a way to set the order in which the slides are displayed? I tried ordering them by entering the page ids for the slider in the order desired but that didn’t work. Am I missing something or is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello oklaus,
The slides can be controlled in ascending or descending order. That option is available inside the “Hulk Options > Slider” section. We can not display slides in random order.
By default, a WordPress loop displays posts in “latest first” order. So, your last slide will be displayed as the first one. You can change that order to ascending, but not as custom shuffling.

I want to show thumbnails in front page above the banner in 120×80px with a auto-scroll. is it possible with the theme’s current pretty photo scripts.
Paul
Hello Paul,
The Front page is made to show slider just below the header section. If you wish to show thumbnails above that, it would be inserted between the header and the slider.
For that, you will need to add a carousel to the theme. The markup for that carousel will be inserted inside header.php file. And the call to this carousel should be made inside js/custom.js file.
You can mail me if you need any assistance in implementing this feature.
Regards
Can you help me? I’ve installed the theme and get this message below. It appears fine but I can’t seem to get the slider to work. Thank you. Website is tssworldwide.com

Hello Jam,
You actually installed the entire download package as a theme. You will first need to unzip the package. Next, look for a folder named “hulk”. This is the actual theme.
Upload “hulk” folder to the wp-content/themes directory via FTP . This should work as expected. These instructions are inside the download package’s documentation/index.html file.
Your current directory structure looks as:
http://tssworldwide.com/wp-content/themes/hulk-businessportfolio-wordpress-theme/hulk/
After uploading the actual theme folder, it should look as:
http://tssworldwide.com/wp-content/themes/hulk/
Let me know if you still find any issue.

Thank you for your timely response! All is OK now.
Just bought, downloaded and installed the theme today.
Very confused on how to modify the homepage. Right now it is just a blogroll of pages.
Please help
Kristin
Hello Kristin,
The theme will show blog posts by default, until you create a home page. So, create a new page “Home”. Next, go to Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays > A Static Page. And set “Home” page as front page. Leave “Posts Page” to none.
Next, return back to the “Home” page and start writing the content. You can copy paste the content from dummy_data/home.txt file. You can also find more details on setting up the home page inside documentation/index.html file.
Regards
I’m trying to get the slider images to show up on a site. Read the documentation, check permissions, and based on my hosting provider (GoDaddy) GD Library is supposed to be running. I sent you an email with the url to the site. I appreciate any help you can give me with this issue.
Carlos
Does it have the short codes available through the editor like in your other theme?
Hello there,
The short codes are required to insert manually in this theme. (Not through Visual Editor).
Regards
Hi Saurabh,

so I guess it’s only me.
Thanks Saurabh for your help
