Very unhappy with the documentation. It seems very very old. First thing. Set up slide show, notice there are several main options in the WP side panel in the current versionb that are not in the documentation. OPen “Slide SHow” Top should be (according to manual) “Slide Show General” and options “Disable Slide Show, Slide Show Type.
Not there. Just none existant options Programmer has probably done something very clever and intricate that techy people can understand and use – and appreciate.
Me? I’m just left with an expensive theme that I am about to uninstall.
Complex theme with poor documentation (and some parts undocumented) is a waste of time.
I have a client who needs website up by Wednsday – so docs in a few days is no good to me. Docs done BEFORE release – not after…everyone knows that for every product. Don’t release unfinished products!
Warning – do not buy unless you want to spend hours working out where all the bottons and features have moved – cause the docs won’t tell you.
Hi unclescritty,
The new document will included in the new release of striking.
Also the video tutorial will comes soon.
Sorry about this. If you have any question about how to using striking just ask in my support forum. Or just email me : kaptinlin@gmail.com

Hi there im a new to webdesign and I bought the striking premium theme early yesterday. I was wondering if i can get a refund. although this theme like there are lots of options for modification, the support is horrible. i have asked a simple question on how to assign sliders on the front with text option showing on each slider and it has been over 24 hours and no response. there are no tutorials on how to do basic things for newbies like me. Karma theme actually has awesome support and 20 video tutorials and bunch of FAQS . their response for tickets is within few hours.
this theme might be the best for the more experienced people but not for me.
i need a refund so i can buy another Karma or actually the Showtime premium theme as im not getting support both from the topics help they have and from the human factor
not unless you guys have way of getting me support. the support link for striking is http://kaptinlin.com/support/ Please advise
Hi samernasr,
Sorry for the delay.
Last few days, i have something troubles around me.
The video tutorials will done a few days later by james(websys).
Also you can learn from the document that comes with the theme.
I will going to answer the support forum threads later. If you can’t wait, you can email me directly. My email is kaptinlin@gmail.com
If you still need refund, you can contact themeforest support.
Thanks.

This wonderful theme needs a mobile version to be the best on the market. WPtouch is not work with it. Do you think to make a mobile css for it?
Hi toskov,
Sorry about this. But you can look forward to my future themes.

Not only is this one of the best, most comprehensive, most customizable themes out there but the Striking support team is absolutely phenomenal.
Their Support forums helped me fully utilize the themes potential and Kaptin Lin even incorporated a suggestion for the theme to incorporate an internal mp3 player.
Just mind blowingly nice guys. I’d buy anything they put together.
But seriously the forums are where its at! Taji
Thank Tajimon. Much appreciated your comment.
Hi! Striking is awesome. Any plans to make it responsive so it is more mobile friendly—like Twenty Eleven http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/ Also, any plans to add a few more widget areas? Thanks for your feedback.
Hi moebuzz,
I didn’t plan to make it responsive.
But you may look forward to my future themes.

Hi there!
Loving your theme 
Before I buy it and start creating I was hoping you could answer a few questions.
1) In your demo when I click on the Flickr images on the right hand side I get this message:
“We’re sorry, Flickr doesn’t allow embedding within frames.”
Is this something that has since been fixed so that it possible to stream Flickr gallery content?
2) In blog posts there aren’t any examples of video posts so I’m hoping I can post a video in a blog and have it play from the main blog page as well as when the specific post is clicked and we are on it’s own page.
Hope that makes sense …
3) Can I change the background of he site to all black and possibly add background images to specific pages?
Looking forward to hearing back from you and then switching my site over to this format!
Thanks a lot,
Brett
http://www.brettlondon.comHi Brett,
You can go to http://kaptinlin.com/themes/striking/features/custom-sidebars/
Then try the flickr, it do works.
For video, it doesn’t support view it in blog main page. But you can add it to blog single page.
For background, you can change it for specific page.
Regards,
KaptinLin
Thanks for the info KaptinLin!
In regards to “For video, it doesn’t support view it in blog main page. But you can add it to blog single page.”
Is there any way to be able to make that happen?
It’s actually the one thing that I need that would be amazing if it was possible. I think this theme is great all the way through, it’s just that not being able to display video or play it from the main blog page like so many others that is holding me back.
I hope there is a way around this …
Please let me know either way.
Thanks so much!
Brett
Hi Brett,
That you need to make some customization work.
I’m not sure if i have times to support this recently. Or you can hire a php developer for this.
Regards,
KaptinLin
Would a plug-in make this work?
I didn’t know a plugin support that. But you can have a search.
If you have any found please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi ancleyton,
You can try use poedit to translate the .pot file that under striking/language folder.

Hi Kaptinlin,
I have a problem. I make changes to the home page of my site, with the new Homepage Content Editor. I saved; the system responds: updated successfully, in the Homepage Content Editor is appears the new text, but when the home page is reloaded, there are no changes. If you reload the page: theme_homepage of Striking, it shows the old text, without modification. What’s going on. It seems that it does not write in database My site is upgraded to wordpress 3.2.1 and Striking at 4.03
thanks you

Hi,
Is there any way in which I can get rid of the drop shadow behind the slider?
Thanks,
J
Hi,
Can you tell me which slider do you used?
If you use nivo slider, you can try custom css code below
#nivo_slider_wrap {
background:none;
}
Regards,
KaptinLin
I am using the anything slider.
Also, for some reason I am not getting drop-down menus on the homepage if I use a custom menu as opposed to the default. Any ideas why? The drop downs were working until I changed to a custom menu.
Thanks.
Hi,
You can try
#anything_shadow {background:none;}
For dropdown issue can you give me your page link?
Regards,
KaptinLin
added the code but no luck with the shadow. I have sorted the drop down issues but having so many issues with getting images up on the homepage slider…see my other post.

Hello Sir,
i want to ask is it possible to use the lightbox shortcode to function automatically in a page just like an announcement maybe? where should i go to edit the automatically attribute?

Sorry, i’m afraid the shortcode can’t.
You can write some js script to support this.

Hey Again,
I figured out the social icon issue. To add a row of icons, simply do a Ctrl + click to select the ones you want to appear. Duh!
Well done!
Hello again,
Thanks so much I got it working! I would now like to dig a step deeper, and learn how to have custom links/buttons and such appear on the slider. I have seen it done, but again, I do not know where to start.
Thanks so much for the quick reply! Jack
You are welcome!
Hi Kaptinlin,
Really love this beautiful theme. I am trying to use the social icon widget on the footer section of http://localmojomarketing.com
I can only get one icon to show at a time. I’m trying to place 4 icons in horizontal fashion across the page. What am I missing?
Thank you! Curt

The theme is working out really well for us! One question: I went to change the height of the jQuery Nivo slider, and it made the slideshow content sort of disappear. Even changing the height back to 440px doesn’t change the condition. Any thoughts?
http://twonates.com/Hi,
I think you can upgrade your striking to version 4.0.3 then have a try.

KaptinLin
Maybe its the newb in me, but I can’t get it to install using the admin page on the WP. It just says “Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again” its WP 3 .2.1 so I’m not sure whats going on, anyone got any advice.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can try use ftp to upload the theme.
