Im pretty impressed with this template! One question before buying it: Is it possible to have a full frame video play when landing on the website. The demo has a slider, IM thinking about starting with a full screen showreel. Is this possible?
Kind regards, Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Yes, through theme options you can choose any fullscreen page as the homepage for the website. Includes fullscreen video playback as the homepage too.
Thanks
Thank you. I appreciate the extra instructions and help. Everything loaded successfully in NetworkSolutions. Looking forward to building out the Studio Zen theme. Thanks again.
You’re welcome. Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your work. Studio Zen is really an impressive work of art.
I have a question. Is there a way to align the top of the blog post with the top of the first widget in all posts?
I will explain. In this post they are aligned http://pedrotrotz.com/archives/1 but in this one http://pedrotrotz.com/archives/52 they are not, and I can’t understand really why. (I have to admit that my knowledge about the subject is also very limited).
Also this misalignment happens in other places such as here http://pedrotrotz.com/blog
Thanks in advance.
Hi Pedro,
The audio posts require one of the audio fields filled to generate the audio player header for the audio posts. Right now it’s not generating the audio player header as it can’t find the audio files. You can see the top space above the title is missing. Hence the alignment is off.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
It certainly does. Thanks a lot!
Any hope for unlimited sidebars? Like a sidebar generator. It’s becoming such a standard now. What would it take to make that happen? 
I love this theme.
Hi,
There’s 10 sidebars out of box. I’ve done this in a hardcoded method so there’s no chance of the sidebars being removed by accident.
You can add more by editing framework/options/options-data.php
Lines 432 to 437 is one sidebar block. You can copy this block and paste it below line 437 to generate a new sidebar choice. Make sure to increment the values there are ‘10’ to ‘11’ and so forth.
Edit functions/post-metaboxes.php
Change line 55 value 10 to your max number of sidebars.
Edit /functions/page-metaboxes.php
Same code changes to line 56

If it’s too much code you can send me a request via my profile with the number of sidebars you need available. I’ll make the changes and send you the files.
Thanks
Hi,
is it possible to have a fullscreen video as the home page, so the first thing a visitor sees when visiting the site is a fullscreen video from YouTube or Vimeo?
Hi,
Yes, It’s a simple process. In theme options there’s a drop down menu where you can choose the fullscreen page you want displayed as front page. It can be any one of the fullscreen pages that’s supported by the theme.
Thanks
Apologies if this is a repeat request. I am getting the following errors when I try to install Studio Zen: Love the Studio Zen theme. Hope this can be sorted out.

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
studiozen-packed-wp Stylesheet is missing.
Hi,
You’ll need to extract the studiozen-packed-wp.zip file and upload only the studiozen folder inside it. This folder among others two files, so you can be sure. style.css and screenshot.png file.
I’ve also explained in the Help Guide ( it’s also in the download pack )
Here’s more info on it.

Thanks
Great theme , only theme i’ve ever purchased so far so congrats on making a theme that makes someone as lazy as me purchase it !.
2 questions .. 1. how do i get the google maps / Address bit on the contact page to show up ?
2. is it possible to set a Fullscreen image for a certain page ? (i want to use this as a business theme and using the same image over and over again on all pages other than my front page means it doesnt look as good as it could do)
Many Thanks James Kitehuahin.com
Hi,
1. For the Demo contact page i created a sidebar widget specifically for it from theme options. Next i used a text widget with a google maps embed code.
2. You can either use the background image set from theme options for the pages or use a custom image url for the background image. Both ways will allow you to share an image across the pages you prefer it to be.
Let me know if you need more info on it.
Thanks
nevermind , i figured out what i was doing, the Sidebar / widget difference confused me for a while.
my last question would be have you found any solutions to crazy Text size when it recognizes a google places location ? i.e. look at Kitehuahin.com/contact , the Text section is a “little bit too big”
Hi, I didn’t see the particular text-size. Is it in the google map?
my main issue is that on our google map over at Kitehuahin.com we have a location showing (A) , when you click A the bubble opens and its ridiculously large and its impossible to see it by zooming out / mousing over because its so big.
it would be a great improvement if fullscreen staff could be used everywhere :
1. fullscreen slide/video as a background in pages (as i kindly asked before) 2. fullscreen in slide/video shortcodes and 3. fullscreen as an option in lightboxes
hope i am not asking too much 
thx, tasos
Hi tasos,
I’ll note this as feature requests.
Thanks
hi!
can we have fullscreen slideshows/videos in any post/page ? (as a background for blog/portfolio etc)
thx
Hi,
The slideshows and video don’t work as backgrounds for the portfolio or pages. They are currently custom post types and work as independent posts which you can link anywhere.
Thanks
Hello!
Is it possible to insert pictures inside the toggle?
And also, is it possible to showcase a filterable portfolio inside a gallery widget? i.e, to put items from a portfolio such as video in the gallery widget? The option says that we can (with your “portfolio” option), yet anytime I select it, the sidebar won’t show (unless it is categories, pages or posts).
Thank you very much for your time!
Hi,
The portfolio gallery right now needs a type of ‘Portfolio’ chosen from the widget for it to populate the images.
If you want images from all of the portfolio types then you can save the widget settings without selecting a Portfolio type – and
edit widgets/sidebar-gallery.php
Insert the following just above line 57
if ($theportfolio=="BLANK") { $theportfolio=""; }
That should get it working.
Thanks
Hello,
Great work!
I want to have the main menu on the top of page and my logo on the left .
Is this possible ?
thanks .
Hi,
You’ll need to edit the header-navigation.php file
And change the style of the classes .logo and .logo-menu-wrapper
Make sure to delete the DIV clear at line 23 which clears the floats.
The respective classes are in the style.css file.
What you can do is float the .logo class to the right and the .logo-menu-wrapper to the left and adjust the width of both so that it’ll fit nicely in a horizontal line.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
is this theme compatible with qtranslate?
Hi,
Yes it should work with qtranslate plugin.
Thanks
Hello Great Theme and looking forward to building it out and showing it off but think at my experience level sample data would be a great help in finding my way around and then customizing it to fit my needs.
I found the sample data available with my several other themes very helpful and wonder if you can direct me to a sample data source to fill out the template.
Thank you
Aloha
Hi,
Sample data file is provided with the download pack. It’s in the folder called ‘XML Data’ file name ‘studiozenforwordpress.data.xml’
It includes all the posts, pages, menu data, fullscreen pages and portfolios.
Thanks
may i also ask what do you recommend regarding size/dimensions for image/videos uploading ? is there a script in your theme for auto resize/cropping so we don’t need to worry ?...
thx, tasos
Hi tasos,
Fullwidth images: 960px Width Post images : 650px Width
Dynamic image resizing is supported in the theme, you don’t need to worry about cropping and resizing for each image size.
Thanks
hi,
i suppose there is just one template for blog categories & single posts, right ?
if i want to show single blog posts with full info (text, image, galleries, audio, video etc.) which way should i do that ? (by just inserting them in posts using editor + shortcodes ?
my goal is to have one sinlge blog post as a bio for each artist i present in my website… (with artists being a blog category…)
thx, tasos
Hi,
The blog list template lists all the blog posts. This is ideal to a build with a blog list as the front page.
You can grab the link of each artist category link, browsing to this link will list all posts under the particular artist category isolating all others.
Using multiple shortcodes. Two columns which a pictureframe on one column and artist details plus a button linked to the category can showcase a good artist block.
Something like the following
[column32] [/column32] <h2>Artist Name</h2> Intro [column3_last] [pictureframe image="Artist/path/image.jpg" lightbox="false" link="" align="left" width="150" height="150"] [/column3_last]
You can use the shortcode generator to create the combinations.
Hope this was helpful
Thanks
thx for your reply
maybe i should create an “all artists” portfolio, then a category per artist (where artist = category, in that portfolio) and finally create as many posts to “describe” the artist in his category…
following this pattern i could create an “all dancing styles” portfolio, an “all events” portfolio etc
would that fit into your theme logic ? can you please offer your advice please ?...
(one problem is that all my content goes into portfolios, ignoring WP blogging capabilities and …locking my website in your theme… which is good for you 
thx, tasos (from greece)
Yes, that should be doable with the theme. You can keep the artists, dancers and events under parent categories to not get the categories mixed up.
Eg. you can have Artists as a parent category and create any categories related to it as subcategories of the Parent category ‘Artists’. Similarly you can build the others the same way.
Thanks
