I use the Valenti Theme on my site. I changed the background color for captions from black to white but there is still a black border above the caption text. I looked everywhere and have tried a lot of things to remove. Is there anything I can do so that I can change it in the custom css part in my wp dashboard.

Hey Exklsiv,

Can you share the url where that caption appears to take a look at the live code?

Cubell

Hey again,

Try adding this custom css to your Theme options custom css box:

.wp-caption { background: #fff; }

Hope this helps :)

Cubell

We love Valenti ! I have a client that has been using it for a few years now and is very happy with it , i hope this isn’t a dumb question , but is there any way to add the front page features of Fotomag to Valenti within the theme , full width / large images, etc ,

Hey Jezza1961,

Love that you love it :)

That isn’t a dumb question, but I’m afraid that isn’t really possible, as that is special code specifically written for Fotomag. And this may actually be a dumb suggestion, but check out my 15Zine theme, which does have that functionality built in already.

Cubell

Hi there, my client asking for this widget, is it possible to make look like this one? http://prntscr.com/bi89wg Marked on red box which is social share button on each post. Sorry for commenting with this account, since my primary acc was hacked by my own employee and i’m unable to recover it.

Hi Defforest,

That’s unfortunate! Hope you get it back soon! But to answer your question, that is actually only possible through a plugin with Valenti, I recommend looking for free ones, as I remember seeing a couple that worked like that, or you could try codecanyon.net for premium solutions.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Idk if i can get back my account since a week ago Envato team did not reply my email, they ask any verification things and i’ve give all of it. And i lost concact with my ex employee too. Which one plugin is it, can you recommend me? I’m affraid after purchase from codecanyon its not fully working.

That isn’t good, sorry to hear that! I’m afraid I can’t remember any plugin names, but I remember there being a free one on the WordPress plugin repository and I’m sure someone would create one for CodeCanyon, try searching for “social sharing” type plugins and see if you can find a good one. Although I had a look at the code in the site you shared, and it looks like a custom built social widget, so I’m not sure you’ll be able to find one identical to that one.

Hello. I like your theme. I have one Q please, Dose it support Arabic language RTL ?

Hey Sarkis979,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti :)

Yes, the theme supports RTL languages (Arabic too). Check out this site, it isn’t Arabic, but it is running in RTL mode: http://www.snatcher.co.il/

Cubell

Thank you for you reply. After checking the RTL website I liked it even more !

That’s great to here :)

Hi,

Is it possible to build this in your next update ?

1) User login remember me function 2) New post/page option with a Full-Width-Screen (but not a full screen option). Like in the 15zine theme that I bought for an other project.

Hey Memt,

I hope you are well :)

1- That is on the list and will be done in an update at some point.

2- I’m not 100% on this one, as that design was done only for 15Zine, but I will consider trying to port it over too.

Cubell

Please consider option 2; as we need to use a plugin now to get the same result.

I will do, but I’m afraid I can’t promise that particular design will definitely happen at this point.

Hi

Before buying this theme want to check if this theme works with PHP 5.3 version?

Thanks Amol

Hey Amol,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti :) Yes, the theme works absolutely fine on PHP 5.3.

Cubell

Hi Guys, we have bought this theme as well as 15zine…both very good. I couldn’t find how to disable the header on mobile. So we have the logo appearing on the nav bar both on mobile and desktop… But we don’t want the header logo to show on mobile in addition. Is there a quick way to do this?

Hey Digimentalmedia,

Thanks very much for the support and choosing both Valenti and 15Zine. Really happy to hear you like them both :)

Ah that is an option in 15Zine only. To do it in Valenti, copy/paste this css code into your theme options’ custom css box:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
#logo { display: none ;}
}

Hope this helps.

Cubell

This theme works out of the box like in the demo… or i got to purchase more plugins?

Hey Lansvit,

Thanks for checking out Valenti :) The theme works out of the box, the theme does not need any premium plugins. And in case you are wondering, there are zero premium plugins installed on the theme demo site too :)

Cubell

Really ? 9 days without any answer to your users in need of assistance ? Don’t call yourself support and furthermore don’t charge people for it …

Hi again,

Priority is given to tickets on the support system, as these comments here are not intended for theme support. Support is actually super fast over there (some tickets have even been answered in 15 minutes some times), because the support team work on the official support system: http://cubellthemes.ticksy.com

This is mentioned in the documentation and in the theme options -> Help panel (support being done on the support system). And even though I do my best to answer here too, in future, please open tickets there if you need a faster response.

Cubell

Ok thanks for the clarification. Nevertheless, i’m managing 30+ websites, i don’t want to go to each author website, create an account, validate my licencese, open a new ticket bla bla bla … When the system is already working perfectly well on themeforest.

No worries :)

And believe me, I do appreciate that, but I hope you can also appreciate that these comments aren’t actually for support and are very inefficient if used for support too. Here there no private options for logins/private way to sharing your url/no ability to sharing screenshots/no easy history record of previous tickets/you can’t search through the thousands of other solved tickets that may have your answer and save both you and us time.

And as we have literally thousands of customers and hundreds of new tickets every week, we have to prioritise the customers that open tickets there. All of this is why so many other authors simply copy/paste generic responses saying “all support is done here: x”.

Hello,

Cool theme. How can i keep the B section empty, but still have the block with pagination at the “end” of it ?

Hi there,

1. OK, bit weird but why not. 2. I just mean enabling review on 4000 posts, because i’m not gonna do it manually. 3. Ok, but it’s pretty stupid … I mean, if i define a global color for my homepage’s layout, i don’t want my categories’s colors messing it up without being able to do nothing about it ! I mean, what’s the point ?

In short, this theme is good visually, but really weirdly thought out and hardly customizable. Much less wiggle room that the 20+ themes i’ve encountered so far.

Why can’t i custom the background image of a page header ? I mean, i can with categories, but not with pages … why ?

Hey again,

2- I’m confused over exactly what your vision is though. Because if you did enable the review for your posts, what about all the review data, such as criterias + the relevant score to the post + pros/cons for each post?

3- Categories don’t mess up anything on the homepage, the global color is used everywhere, and it’s only if you add a module set to X category, and that category has its own color, does the module use that color. I’m not sure what a better/easier alternative to create a colorful homepage is. Can you give me an example of how you’ve done that in other themes to better understand?

4- Do you mean the page title bar? If so, share the url of the page you mean and I can share some custom css to help you set a background.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Hello, our support expired a few days ago but perhaps you don’t mind answering this tiny question: Do you have any recommended sizes for the ‘Settings > Media’ area? Also should I select “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions…”?

Hey AdminTMC,

Sure thing! For the settings -> Media, there are no recommended settings, you can make your thumbnails whatever size you want, as those thumbnails are the ones WordPress uses for when you embed an image (thumbnail/medium/large/original). And the crop one, just leave it as the default setting, unless you know you need to change that for the thumbnails, you probably don’t need to :)

Cubell

i see the change log shows compatibility with sensei; but doesn’t seem to work out of the box…any other settings required? the basic problem – the sensei pages render without a margin and with sidebar showing at bottom of the page – and doesn’t seem to be a way to change that page to a non-sidebar page…thanks

Hey Wendellbaker,

Yeah the theme was fully working with Sensei out of the box when that was added to the changelog. Could you share a url to take a look at the HTML please? And tell me what Sensei verison you are using, as I wonder if something has changed maybe that needs updating in the theme.

Cubell

sure, it’s version 1.9.6 of sensei and below are some temp urls to see what I mean. it’s a wrapper thing…right?

this page renders fine: http://devdept.co/don3/my-courses/

but these pages:

http://devdept.co/don3/lesson/demo-lesson/ http://devdept.co/don3/courses-overview/ http://devdept.co/don3/course/demo-course/

all render with the sidebar pushed down to the bottom and all content with no margin on the left.

thanks!

Hey again,

I looked into it and I tink the theme needs extra code for it than it already has for the latest versions, try adding this code to your functions.php:

add_action('sensei_before_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_start', 10);
add_action('sensei_after_main_content', 'my_theme_wrapper_end', 10);

function my_theme_wrapper_start() {
   echo '<div id="cb-content" class="wrap clearfix"><div id="main" class="cb-main clearfix">';
}

function my_theme_wrapper_end() {
  echo '</div></div>';
    get_sidebar();
}

See if that helps.

Hi, we have the following problem with author pagination. pagination link appears twice, that means the url it looks like: “http://domain.com/author/author_name/page/2domain.com/author/author_name/page/2/?future=” instead of “http://domain.com/author/author_name/page/2” any ideas? using Valenti 5.5 thanks in advance!

Hey Sociality,

That is really odd, but the pagination is 100% controlled by WordPress, not by the theme. I recommend checking your permalinks settings and try changing them and saving to refresh the permalinks cache. Then check your plugins (such as SEO Yoast) and see if one of them is influencing.

I hope this helps.

Cubell

Hey Cubot Team,

I’m still enjoying the theme : )

Just a request: On an upcoming version it would be great to have a: Content Max Width of 1400px in the theme options.

It looks like since it’s % based it wouldn’t be too difficult. Could you add a note / warning to regenerate your thumbnails before using and add the new thumbnail sizes into the theme?

I’d love to know if what your thoughts are on a 1400px option?

Thanks Gilly : )

Hey Gilly,

That’s great to hear, hope you continue enjoying it for a very long time :)

I’ll be 100% honest with you and say I’m not a fan of that width, because when you reach those types of widths, lines of text become so long it looks really ugly and uncomfortable to read. That is why the only thing full-screen in the theme are big featured image styles, the footer/header/menu and the full-screen image embeds. All the graphical stuff, but not the content. So I’m afraid I can’t imagine doing a 1400px version option for at least the short-term future.

Cubell

for the next update will valenti gallery change as did 15zine …

thanx

Hey Leemarr,

That is definitely on the cards, the gallery was originally written for Fotomag, and as I was able to successfully port it over to 15Zine, I will try to port it over to Valenti too in the next medium/big update :)

Cubell

Hi, I write on my blog with valenti about music, so I use album covers everywhere. I also use the Style A+D. I was wondering if I could show up on the frontpage and in the archives the featured images as square images (400×400px for example for Style A). Would it be simple to change the theme this way?

Hey N3rdy,

Hm, I’m afraid that is a tricky one, but there might be one potential easy solution which hopefully helps, edit functions.php and change this part:

360, 240

to

360, 360

And then do a regenerate thumbnails (use force regenerate thumbnails plugin) and hopefully it automatically works exactly as you hope for.

Let me know!

Cubell

Hi,

maybe you have a solution. if I define a startpage (wordpress) then i can not see a background picture. I can place in the backend and define as “full-with-strech”, but i see in front not. This is only when i define the post or page as “startpage” in wordpress!

Hi Cubell, have you a answer for me, please!

so you understand it, i make a page with Valenti Homepage builder and the background image is o.k. I see this, but if i defining this page as “startpage in wordpress”, i see the background image not. (Wordpress version 4.5.2)

Hi Sohm,

Apologies for the slow response to your comment! In the future, for really fast responses please open a ticket in the support system: http://cubellthemes.ticksy.com that is where the support team answers questions.

Can you please share your URL and let me know what version of Valenti you are on?

Cubell

WARNING! Make sure you buy extended support so that when the theme breaks after an update (yes it does!) then you can still get support. I am really unhappy about having to pay extra for support.

I am supposed to pay au$62 just to get an answer to why the theme no longer works when all I did was update it. And yes – I have the latest version of Wordpress and have tried disabling all plugins.

After updating the Valenti theme, the homepage grid images and recent posts slider are showing black boxes instead of images (only in Google Chrome). I have already added the custom CSS

.cb-grid-img a { display: block; }

I have cleared the cache.

Nothing works.

Hi Julesober,

I’m sorry to hear you had issues after updating, but the theme definitely does work well, tons of users are on the latest version and latest WordPress with no problems, and so is the demo site.

However, you do need valid support to ask for help. But please understand that the whole support system is 100% Envato’s idea/doing/implementation, we authors have no say in how it works, we are just told we have to make sure we follow the rules. In fact, I personally wrote publicly against the system in the official forum thread about it.

But as this is Envato’s house, if someone’s support has expired, we have to remind buyers to extend support if asking for support. You can read more about it here:

http://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy http://marketblog.envato.com/releases/item-support-policy-and-functionality-launched/

If you extend your support, share your URL here and I can try to help you figure out what is going on, but I am almost 99.9% convinced that the issue won’t be due to a theme issue or bug.

Cubell

Hi, just bought your theme and trying to edit it but I basically want it to look like the demo…. could you help me do that please?

Hey Dreschx,

Thanks for choosing Valenti, I hope you enjoy using it :)

Have you had a look at the documentation that comes with the theme? As the theme is very easy to use, and you could either install the demo content onto your site (instructions are found in the documentation) or you could follow the documentation steps to build a homepage using the Valenti drag and drop homepage builder – it’s really easy to use and you can build the perfect homepage for your current content.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Hi, since last update I’ve checked a problem with the navigation menu. If you check my website: www.trescuatrotres.es for example at blog+, in “otras temporadas+” it only shows 2014/2015 and not other seasons which before the update were shown. Same happens on “Retro” “S.XX+” where “Años 90” is not shown.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Antoniorosbernal,

Many apologies for the slow response. For very quick support responses in the future, please open a ticket at http://cubellthemes.ticksy.com

I had a look and that’s because the you are choosing the wrong megamenu type, it seems to be set to a megamenu with post but no posts are outputting, edit the menu item and set it to be the standard normal dropdown menu option and it should all work as you want :)

Hope this helps.

Cubell

?Hi, I still have the problem with “Leyendas” and “Porfolio” on the menu. I’ve tried to edit the menu item and set it to be the standard normal dropdown menu option? as you told me, however when I go to Appearance/Menu if I click on a Category, it doesn’t appear the Valenti MegaMenu Type option. Thanks for your help!

I had a look and you still haven’t got them set to the correct menu type, your leyendas menu item is a custom link menu item and it is invalid too because you haven’t set a link to it. If you want to use the post megamenu types like you did in some of your other menus, you need to add a “category menu item”. For leyendas, either re-add it again using the category option, or change the megamenu type to the standard dropdown option, which looks like the “shop” dropdown in the theme demo site.
