which icons set oshine is using? is it possible using other sets as awesome icons?

Hi,

We use Elegant Icons, Elegant Lineicons and Zocial in the theme. Apologies, unfortunately, there ins’t an option to add custom Icons currently.

Thanks, Swami

Hi,

I created a pages with Oshine and I have few question (www.thinwood.hu)

1. the home page is background video, I use a background image too for mobile and desktop, but I see only a full black background, where is the problem?

2. Blog posts: On the news pages i want show only the picture, title and date, below the posts I would like to hide the: share, comments and tags parts

3. Portfolio section: Can i hide the heart icon? Where can i change only the portfolio hover, not the full color scheme, only the portfolio. I would like a righ fixed sidebar with slider images, can i use both? ( the page builder create distorted proportions)

http://thinwood.hu/portfolio/alex/ fixed sidebar is great, but the products show under and you need to scroll http://thinwood.hu/portfolio/edmond/ the floating sidebar also great, but in smaller screen and tablet hit the pictures.

And the last question: can i change the floating sidebar icon for button, or text?

Thank you the answers!

Hi, I solved the 3. question. And I have a new: can I hide the border around the portfolio project name?

Hi,

1. The Background Image does not occupy the Full Screen, because when the screen size reduces to mobile dimension, the height of the section will be according to the padding that you set on the section’s settings. You can use the CSS below, to force the image to occupy full screen on mobile.

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
        .home .be-section {
        min-height: 100vh;
    }
}

Paste the CSS code in the custom CSS section under OSHINE OPTIONS > GENERAL SETTINGS.

2. Please use the CSS code below in the Custom CSS section to hide the Post Meta -

.post-top-details, 
.post-bottom-details{
    display: none;
}

3. a. The option to disable Like Icon (Heart Icon) and change the Hover Color of the Portfolio Thumbnail is present in the Portfolio Module itself

b. Both the Links that you have given does not seem to use the Sidebar pages. They have set to use Full Screen Slider portfolio. To have a sidebar and Images in Slider, you can choose the Single Portfolio Style as “Single Page Page Builder” and add the Images in a “BE Image Slider” module in the Page Builder, like this example here – http://oshine.wpengine.com/blog/portfolio/sidebar-slider/ .

Thanks, Swami

I’ve created a menu with underlines (set up in the Oshine options). On my last menu item a tiny part of the underline is always visible even when theres no hover action taking place.

When i change the order of the menu items, the underline behaves normal.

How to prevent this from happening?

Hi Bauke,

Can you try adding the CSS code below in the custom CSS section under OSHINE OPTIONS > GENERAL SETTINGS and check if that fixes the issue -

.be-nav-link-effect-2 a::after{
    left: 51%;
    right: 51%;
}

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami,

I’ve added the css but it didn’t change anything.

Any other tips?

Whoops! Sorry, it actually did work! :) Thanks a lot!

Hi and congratulations again for this theme, it has become my “every-day” one ! Perfect balance between admin back-end mouse clicks and custom css (not too much of each to find the right design). I particularly love the different sliders and galleries !

As I’m building my own photo website, I have a few questions regarding sliders :

1. I love the possibility to insert the portfolio description as the first slide, this is great idea ! But the problem is that if I select this option, the thumbnails bar becomes unusable because there’s a one-slide “shift” introduced. I mean if I click on the Nth thumbnail, the slider goes to the image N-1. This must be due to the added first slide. Can you have a look at this, please ? I guess it’s not possible in CSS, at least for me. See it there : http://www.yantphoto.fr/portfolio/chegaga/ And here it’s ok (no first slide description) : http://www.yantphoto.fr/portfolio/london/

2. If I had gutter width to Center Slide Carousel Slider, the images are not centered on the screen any longer. How can I correct this ? You can see it there : http://www.yantphoto.fr/portfolio/cairo/

3. As I love the first slide description, could it be possible to easily add it to the Centered Slider ? Or if not, how could I add black overlay on the pictures left and right of the centered one so that the centered picture is more on focus ?

Thx a lot, Yan.

Hi Yan,

Thank you very much for your comment I am glad you like the theme. :-)

1. Yes we will have this fixed, by probably adding a Thumbnail in the carousel that represents the Text Area. We will patch this fix in one of our upcoming update.

2. Yes I see this but however, the Script that is used for the Carousels work in such a way that in includes the Gutter width along with the width of the Image to align the items. Unfortunately, i don’t think this can be modified in the theme.

3. Sure we will consider this feature and work on the design feasibility. And include the feature in our future updates.

Thanks once again, Swami

Please advise re. the following error message (note: I have just downloaded that latest available version on my Envato account):

“An error occurred while updating Master Slider Pro: Update package not available.”

Hi,

As theme authors, we have an extended license for the Master Slider & Revolution slider plugin and an exclusive purchase code that allows us to include the plugin with theme and allow theme buyers to use the plugin for free. Unfortunately you cannot use the Oshine purchase code for activating & automatically updating included premium plugins. The activation option is exclusively for those users who have purchased a license for the plugin directly from code canyon. The oshine purchase code can only be used for one click updates of the theme. For updating BE Page Builder you don’t need any verification and updates will be available automatically.

Premium Paid Plugins such as Master Slider & Revolution Slider, bundled with the theme are not eligible for auto-updates ( Not just our theme but its the same case with plugins bundled in other theme. ), but we will be periodically updating the plugins along with the theme updates so that you stay current. You do not have to Activate the License in order to be able to use the plugin.

Instructions to manually update the plugins, in available in our knowledgebase here.

Thanks, Swami

Hi !

I would like to know if it was possible to have a lightbox in the portfolio page of right-floating-sidebar-2 in the demo V7 rather than fixed images? In advance thanks.

Hi,

Apologies, but there ins’t an option the images in the Right Floating Sidebar Page in Lightbox. The Lightbox is possible only in Grid Gallery or Lightbox Image Portfolio.

Thanks, Swami

Ok, no problem, thanks :)

Hi, I’m considering purchasing the Oshine V8 template for a client, who doesn’t want to touch code o repurpose any screens. The client is asking me if you can get a video gallery (with as many videos as needed) with the same layout than the photo gallery on this sample page http://oshine.wpengine.com/v8/portfolio/gallery/

Also, would it possible to get subcategories on the portfolio? (for instance: Brochures> Holiday Brochures / Product Brochures / etc.. ) Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing the theme. Yes you can add a Grid of Images that open up a video in Lightbox. Here is an example of a grid with Videos – http://oshine.wpengine.com/v20/portfolio/video-grid-gallery/ . You can link either a Youtube , Vimeo or a Self Hosted video to the Image in the grid that will open in Lightbox.

Yes you can have Sub Category for Portfolio Posts as well.

Thanks, Swami

I have set up all my portfolio categories, pages and added images but when I choose the lightbox gallery option for a page it stops anything from appearing on the page. Can someone please tell me what has gone wrong?

Hi,

We have not received your credentials in the Support Forum yet. Could you kindly reply to the email that I have sent yesterday, with your URL , wp-admin id and password so we can investigate this further?

Thanks, Swami

Hello Swami, for some reason I do not appear to be receiving your emails. I don’t want to leave login credentials on this page and have set up an administrator account for you and the login details have been emailed to you via help@brandexponents.com. Could you please try sending your emails to me again or provide me with an alternative means of contact?

Hi,

I have emailed to contact@shaunhillphotography.co.uk from an alternate id. I hope you receive that and respond back with the details so we can check the issue.

Thanks, Swami

Good day,

I have a few pre-purchase questions I would like to know.

I am looking at the video display specifically, as we are wanting video lightbox portfolios to be in place.

Is it possible to caption videos that are self hosted ( page layout I am referring to: http://oshine.wpengine.com/v20/portfolio/video-grid-gallery/ and http://www.bioscopefilms.co.za/ for reference) below the video?

Does the search function pull from the video items and tags, and how does it display? We are wanting a similar layout to the video grid.

Is it possible to have two menus, one above the other? (see http://www.bioscopefilms.co.za/ for reference)

Is there perhaps a demo / trial version of the theme we could test?

Thanks in advance,

Claire

Hi Claire,

1. Yes you can add Caption Beneath the Image in the grid, that will open the video in Ligthbox. You have to create the items as Portfolio Posts in this case and we have instructions on how this should be done in our Knowledge Base – brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/.

2. The search page in your template will resemble the Template that you choose for the Blog page and this will pick the terms that you add for the Video Items and the Tags. The Blog Settings options are available in the options Panel in the theme. The search page in V20 demo is here – http://oshine.wpengine.com/v20/?s=Dizifilms .

3. Yes you can have a Secondary Menu in selected Header Style. For Ex. The header style in this demo – http://oshine.wpengine.com/v11/ uses a Top bar in which you can add the Secondary Menu.

I hope this answers your questions. In case, you would still need access to test the theme out, do reach out to use using the contact form here so we can email the details for the test site – https://themeforest.net/item/oshine-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/9545812/support/contact

Thanks, Swami

Hi. Thanks for this. We’ll request a test site in the next few days, we’re just awaiting some more info from client regarding their full requirements.

Hello friend, first thanks for your theme, is very complete. I have a small problem in the blog section, I want to hide the category that appears just below the news. What is shown is Under: Noticias, that I want to hide. Also on that same page I want to replace the ellipsis [...] LEER MÁS for the text and activate the url into the news.

I leave the link to the url where I want to make changes.

http://mopaltapizados.com/noticias/

Thank you.

Hi,

You can use the CSS code below to hide the Category listing in the Main Blog Page -

.blog .post-category{
    display: none;
}

You need to paste the code in the custom CSS section under OSHINE OPTIONS > GENERAL SETTINGS.

If you have added the Read More tag as per the instructions here – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/read-more-link/ , you would only get the “read more” link that will take the viewer to the individual post.

Thanks, Swami

Question please:

I just purchased and had the theme installed and the info from my former theme ported over, but I can’t edit anything without the theme locking up, or doing like dark overlay screen that basically also is a lock up. Not sure how to fix this issue, the notifications say: “Warning: the [rich editing] capability is disabled for this user which might lead to some potential issues. Please enable it.” I am not sure if this is part of my problem or how to enable the rich editor, I can’t seem to find the location to enable it.

Thanks,

Hi,

Kindly ensure that you have not “Checked” the option called “Disable Visual Editor” for the particular user in the Wordpress Dashboard under USERS > EDIT USER.

Also disable any 3rd party plugin that might be causing the conflict as well.

Thanks, Swami

I have tried all of that, the visual editor disable is not checked, all added plugins are not activated, I even went as far as turning off all the plugins just to be sure. I still can’t get it to work. It still locks up and won’t allow me to write or add any text in the visual fields.

Hi,

I received your email with the wordpress dashboard details, and have replied with the possible cause and requesting some additional information to fix the issue. We can take it from there.

Thanks, Swami

Hello Swami, one of my pages does not load properly on tablets. It has a two-column layout with a narrow left column containing a “text block” with a photo, and a wide right column containing a “text block” with some text. It looks fine on a desktop, and also fine on a phone where the photo is displayed above the text, but on a tablet it still has two-column layout, but the photo is cut off. Can you advise how I can fix it?

http://www.levtsimring.com/about/

Hi,

You can use the custom CSS code below to make the columns take up 100% width in Tablet layout -

 
@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
    .page-id-512 .column-block{
        width: 100% !important;
        margin-left: 0 !important;
        float: none !important;
    }
    .page-id-512  .be-section .be-row:last-child .column-block {
        margin-bottom: 60px;
    }
}

You need to paste the code in the custom CSS section under OSHINE OPTIONS > GENERAL SETTINGS.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, I did what you suggested but unfortunately it did not help. The photo is still cut off on iPad…

Hi,

The styling is not taking effect because you have pasted the css code within the ‘pre’ tags that was used for formatting the code here in the comments section. Please remove the open and close ‘pre’ tags and that should fix the issue.

Thanks, Swami

Hi a client of mine purchased this theme, and for some reason the mosaic gallery does not load properly. You have to resize the browser for it to load the items properly. The link is below if you could please advise that would be great. It is currently running on WP 4.1 with oshin version 4.4.2.

http://dev.brianbins.com/portfolio/

Hi,

I presume your are mentioning about the gap above the last row in the portfolio grid. I have tried some test cases, but unable to replicate this in our test or demo sites. I can investigate this further, by logging into your wordpress dashboard. Kindly email your URL, wp-admin id and password via the contact form here – https://themeforest.net/item/oshine-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/9545812/support/contact so we can test this further.

Also, update the theme to the latest version as per the instructions here – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/update-theme/

Thanks, Swami

If you import demo data it will screw up settings, pages, menus, fonts and practically your whole site goes down the drain.

Ive spent two days working and its all gone because I wanted to check out another demo. It says in your import that nothing is overwritten, this is obviously not true. I am quite pissed off now, buy you should really warn your customers that their site will break if they import demo-data :(

Hi,

Unfortunately, you have overlooked the clear note that is added in the knowledge base which says about the settings getting overridden. I am quoting the note here as well -

“Please note that by choosing ALL or just the OPTIONS, all the settings in the OSHINE OPTIONS PANEL will be overwritten. So incase you are importing data from multiple demos, ensure you just choose “CONTENT” and then when you are finally done import just the pages from different demos, Import the “OPTIONS PANEL SETTINGS” of a particular demo of your choice. All the demos were created using the various settings available in the options panel & the page builder. So you can mix and match layouts and features from various demos by modifying the settings in Options panel accordingly.”

And this is the link to the article in the knowledge base that has the note – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/import-demo-content/ .

I can suggest a couple alternatives for you now -

1. If you remember which demo you had imported earlier and had not customised the settings, you can simply get it back by navigating to APPEARANCES > IMPORT DEMO DATA and choose to import just the “options panel settings” of that demo again.

OR

2. If you have set up a server backup, you can restore a copy so that the settings are back in place.

Thanks, Swami

Hi, how do I set up the 3 column mega menu like the one in the default demo under portfolio. Thanks

Hi,

Please follow the steps below to set up a Mega Menu. Navigate to Appearances > Menu and follow the steps below –

Step 1 – On Right top corner of the screen you should be ‘Screen Options’, Enable ‘Css Classes’ in this list of options

Step 2 – Open the Menu item, that needs to be configured as Mega Menu. And add the classes ‘mega‘ and (‘columns-2’ , ‘columns-3’ or ‘columns-4’) in the Css Classes options, depending on the number of columns you need.

Step 3 – In addition to this, if you need the First Item in the Sub Menu Columns to be highlighted , you need to assign the class ‘highlight’ to the First Item in the sub menu in respective columns.

Thanks, Swami

Hi and congratulations for this amazing theme :-)

I have a big problem though… The basic contact form doesn’t seem to work : it always answers “All fields are required”, regardless of the information I enter. It seems its the same on your demo http://oshine.wpengine.com/v27/contact/

I really like when I don’t have to install contact 7 ;-)

Hi,

Thank you for the compliment and I am glad you like the theme. Yes i notice that the issue occurs in the Contact Form style used in the V27 demo. Apologies about this and we will have the issue fixed at the earliest in our upcoming update. Meanwhile you can use the alternative style (One Column) of Contact Form that is available in the module.

Appreciate your patience.

Thanks, Swami

Oh you’re right, the one column form works, didn’t even think to try it, thanks a lot :-)

Hi, is it able to do browser canching within the theme, or do you need a plugin like WP Super Cache, w3 total cache. And which one you recommend. Like to hear from you soon. Cheers Arjan

Hi,

The theme does not have built in features for Caching. However, you can use W3 Total Cache which we have used in our earlier demo sites and it works well with the theme.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, the sub menu drops down very far below the main navigation menu. How can I adjust that? Thanks.

Hi,

I assume we are talking about this site – http://braingymcourses.com/ and I cannot be a Sub Menu here. Looks like you have removed it. However I see that you have set a very high value for Logo Padding under OSHINE OPTIONS > LOGO. If you reduce this, or even set it to 0, the space will be reduced in turn.

Thanks, Swami

I have a question about the code lenght on the pages. There are a lot of design rows (about 1500) in the html code. Is it possible to decrease this? Or maybe to change this to 1 file? I hope you can help me, it will improve the SEO of the site.

Hi,

The number of lines is definitely not 1500 and of the several ways in which Dynamic CSS can be added to the file, adding the code in the head tag is the most optimal way. We had originally adopted a different method and then switched to this for better performance and quality. This practice, if you might notice is also followed by many of the other top authors as well. That said, this will not affect the SEO of the site negatively.

Thanks, Swami

Hello,

I want to ask that is it possible at drop down, sub menu item is always opened if selected ( clicked)

i found this code but it opens all dropdown menu items not the seleceted one. display: block !important; }

slidebar-menu .sub-menu{

while directing the sub menu page drop down closes as we should click it again to drop down it again which is a bit annoying. thank you

Hi Swani

İt is a product base site, 6 menus with 10 sub menus so it will be great to be opened. everysingle menu item I found a plugin for a page only css so i can add every page to be opened but cant succeed, thank you

here is the link http://pacojaanson.com.au/demo2017/

Hi,

Since you are using Left Header, this might be possible. Kindly try using the CSS code below, to have the Sub Menu of the Currently Active Page, open at all times -

.current-menu-item .sub-menu{
    display: block !important;
}

You need to paste the code in the custom CSS section under OSHINE OPTIONS > GENERAL SETTINGS.

Thanks, Swami
