Love the theme!!! When it loads my slide show does not show unless I refresh the page. Is there something I have set wrong? It seems to do it in all browsers….

Hi,
I think you should upgrade your striking to the latest version.

KaptinLin
I have an older version installed. The slider does not work in IE9 . Will an update fix that? I was just afraid the update would add bugs to my site.
Hi,
It will fix the that.
You can learn from http://kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/1151/ about how to update the striking.
If you have any question about that just ask me.

I uploaded the updates and my theme broke big time…is there anyway I can just upload the ie fix? Can you identify the file? The slider does not work in IE9
Hi,
Just replace the preloading script that on the bottom of striking/js/custom.js file with the code below
(function($) {
$.fn.preloader = function(options) {
var settings = $.extend({}, $.fn.preloader.defaults, options);
return this.each(function() {
settings.beforeShowAll.call(this);
var imageHolder = $(this);
var images = imageHolder.find(settings.imgSelector).css({opacity:0, visibility:'hidden'});
var count = images.length;
var showImage = function(image,imageHolder){
if(image.data.source != undefined){
imageHolder = image.data.holder;
image = image.data.source;
};
count --;
if(settings.delay <= 0){
image.css('visibility','visible').animate({opacity:1}, settings.animSpeed, function(){settings.afterShow.call(this)});
}
if(count == 0){
imageHolder.removeData('count');
if(settings.delay <= 0){
settings.afterShowAll.call(this);
}else{
if(settings.gradualDelay){
images.each(function(i,e){
var image = $(this);
setTimeout(function(){
image.css('visibility','visible').animate({opacity:1}, settings.animSpeed, function(){settings.afterShow.call(this)});
},settings.delay*(i+1));
});
setTimeout(function(){settings.afterShowAll.call(imageHolder[0])}, settings.delay*images.length+settings.animSpeed);
}else{
setTimeout(function(){
images.each(function(i,e){
$(this).css('visibility','visible').animate({opacity:1}, settings.animSpeed, function(){settings.afterShow.call(this)});
});
setTimeout(function(){settings.afterShowAll.call(imageHolder[0])}, settings.animSpeed);
}, settings.delay);
}
}
}
};
if(count==0){
settings.afterShowAll.call(this);
}else{
images.each(function(i){
settings.beforeShow.call(this);
image = $(this);
if(this.complete==true){
showImage(image,imageHolder);
}else{
image.bind('error load',{source:image,holder:imageHolder}, showImage);
if($.browser.opera || ($.browser.msie && parseInt(jQuery.browser.version, 10) == 9 && document.documentMode == 9) ){
image.trigger("load");//for hidden image
}
}
});
}
});
};
//Default settings
$.fn.preloader.defaults = {
delay:1000,
gradualDelay:true,
imgSelector:'img',
animSpeed:500,
beforeShowAll: function(){},
beforeShow: function(){},
afterShow: function(){},
afterShowAll: function(){}
};
})(jQuery);

You can try custom css code below in striking->general options page.
#page input, #page textarea {
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}
#footer input, #footer textarea {
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
}

This theme is beautiful, and easy to configure. There is also excellent support from the authors and his team. I had a problem which ended up being not related to the theme, but by my web host, and they still fixed it for me. The team is available via their forum, and by email for registered owners, and stayed in touch with my issue via email and phone calls until it was resolved. They are a true class act and stand behind their product.
Thanks! Much appreciated it!
Hi!
Is it possible somehow to change the order of slides?

You can try custom css code
#page input .gomb {
color:#ffffff;
}
in striking->general options page
but is still not work
Can you help with this too?
Thanks, Tatowebdesign
Hi,
For the order of sliders, You can try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/
For custom css code, maybe you should try
#page input {
color:#ffffff;
}
If you can give me your page url that will be helps.

Hi Kaptinlin
4- IF you open the website in IE 8 the arrows on slider on home page appears black, there is no transparency, it looks fine on Firefox and Chrome, is there any fix for that? (When you move your mouse over the slideshow they appear)
http://www.aestheticsoflondon.com/5- I changed the CSS a little bit to add a border around the page, it looks fine but when i choose full width page template i can see small black lines on both sides (you can see under the slideshow. Also when i try to use title the background border file is top on top of the featured title area, is there a way to fix it?
http://www.aestheticsoflondon.com/?page_id=325And when are you planning to release a new different theme?
Thanks
Hi muratcankuscu,
i will fix the arrow issue in the next release of striking . It comes soon.
Maybe next week. 
For the second issue, you can try use custom css code
#page {
overflow: hidden;
}

KaptinLin
I have a question about the browser compatibility list. It says Firefox 4. I’m using the newest Firefox, which is 7.0. Does your list mean that this theme isn’t compatible with the newer Firefox browser?
No. It do compatible with the newest version of the browse.
I will check the compatiblity when a new version of browse comes. If it have any problems, i will release a new version to fix it soon.

Thank you Kaptinlin for the fantastic theme! It is as if Wordpress was extended with a full menu driven style editor and not just a theme with the common but limited styling options.
Besides not having to write code(brilliant!) the things I really enjoy are extensive colour editing options, header and footer customization, shortcodes and gallery implementation.
I’ve been watching the theme develop from early on and just lately and finally put it in use. Sweet how the Striking I got is even better than Striking I purchased a year ago
My personal CG blog uses your theme, you can check it here: http://www.cgmascot.com Feel free to add to your gallery if you like it.
Thanks again and all the best to your projects,

Also I made couple of images for the showcase (so you don’t have to). They are the same size as other website-images in your Striking showcase. Links here:
Best,
Niko
Thanks, you can see it on the showcase page now.
I see that I can change the background color behind the slider. Can I also change to background color behind the main content area? Also, are there any options to add a texture to the background of the theme, and if not, how could I do that? Do contact form plugins like Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms work with this theme? Is the theme code written for good SEO ? What would I need to do to add a second navigational menu to the left or right going down the page (in addition to the one across the top)? Thank you.
Hi,
Of course. You can easily change the background through admin panel.
Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms will work well with the striking.It do written for good Seo. I make many improvement on the theme for seo.
For second navigational menu, do you mean the menu in the sidebar?
You can use a widget for that.

Also – how can you configure this to use Windows Live Writer. Using the built in editor is about as far away from WYSIWYG as it’s possible to get. I always use Live Writer for blog work – but it will not download the theme. (done all the “Uncategorized post on home page” tricks – it makes no difference
It’s been 3 years since I wrote directly into Wordpress editor – and I remember why I stopped. Every time you press “Preview” you get a page that looks precisely nothing like you thought it would.
What do people use to populate their blogs here?
Do you all use the WP built in editor – if so have you got any tips to make it (a lot) more user friendly as far as getting your formatting as you’d like it without spending hours with HTML
I realize I’m spoilt, but Live Writer – well you see it, position elements exactly – press publish and it is 100% exactly as you planned it. WP in-built editor is an exercise in guess work and messing endlessly with HTML tags
Hi Scritty,
I didn’t try windows live writer before. So i don’t know know what the different between wordpress built-in editor and the live writer. If you can tell me more about it, i will have a try.

Just how do you flipping well configure a slider. Front page slider. 5 items – alladded – it refuses to show more than 3 of them. I delete the lot, start again, it shows a different 3.
I’ve set number to show on homepage as 5 I’ve put them all in the post category “Front PAge” and selected that category to show, I’ve slected the right slider type. I can go into “Slider Iteems2 and see them all there. Numbered 1-5 (no duplicates no gaps) and it insists in showing 3.
What’s up with this?
Scritty
Hello, is there any way to have the site auto size for the browser window?

Hi Kaptinlin
My header on www.zimbabweinternational.com has been shifted again to the right. I have just updated the theme and it happened, not sure if there was a new line of code put in for the header, or if the “inner” div=class could be unrestricted from 960px to auto=align-centre; ? basically the header leaves only room for a custom logo to measure 960 maximum px in width whereas it would be nice to have it unrestricted or to have the logo sit in it’s own “div”.
Just a thought, as it is kind of box looking and this would just free up the layout a bit more….
http://zimbabweinternational.com/any shortcode ideas for a quick fix?
Hi,
Why not set logo for header layer.
Custom css code below:
#header {
background-image: url("http://zimbabweinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/main-header.png");
background-position: 50% 10px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Hey! The theme is amazing, just two questions:
How do I disable pagnation and also add a video to the slider?
Thank you in advance
disable pagnation for blog?
You can add nopaging=”true” to blog portshortcode.
For video on slider,
You can try use anything slider.
Set anything-slider type to ‘html’.
Then use video embeded code on the content editor.
Remember to warp the code with raw tag.
sample:
[raw]embedded code[/raw]

See the code after framed box shortcode,
You will see

Hi Kaptinlin,
I want to thank you again for this great theme and the great support! I finished the website:aestheticsoflondon.com
I have a few more questions: 1- is it possible to close other toggle buttons when you click anotherone? (like accordions) 2- On contact page how can i place the “Name and Email” before the text area? and if i need to add more fields which which files should be modified? 3- Is it possible to create sidebars which has different width then eachother, for example for contact page i want to make it wider… 4- IF you open the website in IE the arrows on slider on home page appears black, there is no transparency, it looks fine on Firefox and Chrome, is there any fix for that? 5- I changed the CSS a little bit to add a border around the page, it looks fine but when i choose full width page template i can see small black lines on both sides (you can see under the slideshow. Also when i try to use title the background border file is top on top of the featured title area, is there a way to fix it?
These are minor things, I am very please with the theme, hoping to see new themes
Thanks a lot !
