Hi Swami!

Your product is awesome and love using it. However I’ve a few questions for you:

1. When adding a Youtube video with Page Builder, the width of the video doesn’t match the real size of the video and add 2 black bars on the side. Is there a way to have the video in the right format?

2. Is there any option when using “Recent – Blog Posts Masonry Style” (space between the thumbnails, which information to display)? I tried to modify the setting in Oshine Options/ Blog Settings but it didn’t work.

3. Is there a way to change the border size of the Boxed Title in Portfolio?

and last question:

4. Where can I find the different animation I can use in Header Section Hero Options? i.e. rotates speed=”2000”

here is a page test: https://www.daweitan.com/test/

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the compliment. I am glad you like the theme.

1. Can you give me the link to the page in which you have this issue, so I can check if this can be fixed with the help of a CSS code. ?

2. Apologies, but there isn’t an option to change the Gutter Width (space between thumbnail) in the Recent Posts Module. The settings that you change under BLOG SETTINGS panel will reflect on the posts page.

About hiding/showing information, this is possible with custom CSS code. If you could tell me which portion you need to hide, i can provide the css code.

3. You can use the css code below -

.style1-title .thumb-title{
    border: 1px solid;
}

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

4. Yes you can, by altering the “speed” parameter in the Rotates Shortcode, ex -

 
[rotates speed="1000"][rotate]WE ARE OSHINE.[/rotate][rotate]A CREATIVE DIGITAL AGENCY[/rotate][rotate]BASED IN LOS ANGELES, CA[/rotate][/rotates]

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, Thanks for your reply!

1. Here is the link for the page with the video: https://www.daweitan.com/test/ When I play the video, I have the 2 black bars on each side.

2. I wanted to hide the “UNDER : *name of the category” and the number of comments. So basically, just kept: Title, Date, Short Text.

3. Thanks! it works perfectly!

4. Is there any other animation that I can do (FadeIn, FadeInUp, etc)? Also is it possible to Rotate a [special_heading2] or any other special title?

Thanks, David

Hi David,

Apologies about the delay in my response.

1. We are looking into the issue with the black bar, and it seems to be due to the aspect ratio of the video. The bar cannot be hidden or removed with a simple css fix. We will try and patch a fix for this in our upcoming theme update.

2. Please use the css code below -

.post-author .post-meta-sep,
.post-comments,
.post-category{
    display: none;
}

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

3. Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to change the animation or use it in Special Heading Styles.

Thanks, Swami

I’m looking at your example. http://oshine.wpengine.com/v17/ Is it possible to filter the gallery on the home page? similar to this site. http://beam.zackarias.com/index

Hi,

We have Filter Option in our Portfolio Grid which is showcased in this page for example – http://oshine.wpengine.com/portfolio-full-width/ . Filters option is currently not available on the Gallery Module.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, I’m having an issue with a small black strip above the footer at the bottom of each page. My site is mvmtdesign.com. All of the section bottom paddings are zero..can send the info if you need. Thanks so much!

Duplicate post.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, I’m having an issue with a small black strip above the footer at the bottom of each page. My site is mvmtdesign.com. All of the section bottom paddings are zero..can send the info if you need. Thanks so much!

Hi,

It is the Footer Border that is showing up in your pages. You have set the Footer Border to NONE under OSHINE OPTIONS > FOOTER SETTINGS > Footer border(Top) color .

Thanks, Swami

Is it possible to hide the scroll indicator icon? There are only three options and none is no option.

Hi,

In the Hero Section, to hide the Scroll Indicator, you simply have to leave the Section(Destination) ID value “blank”.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, recently I had a problem with my website and had to set it back (with a backup) to a version of August this year. That’s why I use an old version of Oshin (4.4.2) at the moment. I updated wordpress to the newest version (4.6.1) without any problem. But the update process of the oshin-theme doesn’t work/finish. In my error log from my server I get these two messages:

1) Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /home/strato/http/power/rid/58/76/56975876/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-admin/update.php, referer: http://marcrodenberg.com/wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-theme-upgrade

2) (70007)The timeout specified has expired: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed, referer: http://marcrodenberg.com/wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-theme-upgrade

Do you have any idea how I get the update process to work again?

Thank you, Marc

Hi Marc,

The error messages could have occurred due to insufficient Memory or Execution Time in your server. We have not faced this error in any of our test or demo sites and neither have other buyers reported of this error. Alternatively, you can try to update the theme via the FTP method as mentioned in this article here – www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/update-theme . Let me know if you have further issues and we will see how we can fix this.

Thanks, Swami

Hello,

I have already been privately receiving support for this, but it’s not yet resolved, so I thought I’d put it on the forum. I know others have the same question.

Is there any way at all—using any portfolio style at all—to get self-hosted mp4 videos that have been uploaded to the Media Library to work on my website?? It doesn’t matter what the portfolio style is, I just need the videos to play in a portfolio (or, as a last resort, perhaps in a separate page that is not set up as a portfolio, and if so, how?).

I do NOT want to embed Vimeo or YouTube, very unprofessional plus confusing and annoying for the viewer who is then asked if they’d like to see more videos of mine—and worse, a video that is NOT mine!—and is then taken to Vimeo or YouTube. Horrible!

Here’s what I’ve done: 1) So far I created two placeholder thumbnail images for two videos, and in each image’s Attachment Details in the Media Library, I pasted the URL for its related video, found in the Attachment Details for the video. So each video is linked to its placeholder image.

2) In Oshine Options beneath the Page Builder of my portfolio [named Motion Graphics], I added the placeholder images. Your Knowledge Base says you can use Lightbox for self-hosted video, but I can’t get this to work. I’ve tried Lightbox and Lightbox Gallery, plus other styles, all to no avail.

Am I missing something, some settings that need to be adjusted somewhere?

If it turns out that it is not at all possible, not in any way, to get self-hosted videos to play, this would be a HUGE drawback to Oshine!

Thank you for any help, Christine

Hi Christine,

I have responded to your email. Like i said we are investigating the issue and will respond back with a resolution, as the issue occurs just in your site.

Thanks, Swami

Thank you, Swami, yes, I received your email, am awaiting a resolution.

Good Evening!

I have created a Single Page – Floating Left Sidebar portfolio with the Semi-Transparent Sticky Header. Unfortunately, my Portfolio Images are up over the Sticky Header. You can see an example of what is happening here…

http://www.walshguitars.com/portfolio/bara/

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks for your prompt resolution.

Scott

Hi Scott,

Apologies about the delay in response. When you set the header as “Transparent” or “Semi Transparent” the contents in the page will start right from the top. If you want the contents to start below the header, you need to set it as DEFAULT, which I guess you have already set it up as .

Thanks, Swami

I can’t get the Brankic Photostream Widget working for Pinterest. It works for instagram, but nothing shows for Pinterest. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this up. We will look into the issue and patch a fix for this in our upcoming updates.

Appreciate your patience.

Thanks, Swami

Hi ive set up a gallery on my website but I was just wondering if I could set the pictures up so they link to a different page??? any help would be much appreciated. Here is the link to the page; http://leightonbainbridgephotography.com/newcastle-wedding-photography-portfolio/

Hi, thanks again for the response. I’ve done what you have said but the images are still not loading up straight away with the title already on.

Also, I was just wondering if there were instructions on how to make the accordion toggles, as well on my menu I have the info section and it currently links to my about page I was just wondering how I can make it so when someone clicks it, it will automatically open the sub menus.

Many thanks Leighton

The titels are showing up now, but on my blog posts in mobile its putting the gold overlay on. Is that because of the code or have I done something else? Thanks

Hi Leighton,

The code to target the Overlay is the same for Portfolio and Blog Grid and this is why it might show up on your blog posts too. To target the code for just the Portfolio, you can add a “Section ID” to the section in which you have added the Portfolio Grid, and prefix the Section ID in the CSS code. The option to add ID to the Section is present in the Section Settings panel in the Page Builder.

For Ex if you add the id as “homeportfolio”, the code will look like this -

 
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    #homeportfolio .thumb-overlay{
        display: block !important;
        opacity: 1 !important;
    }
}

Thanks, Swami

Hi I use the blog module in page builder to show the latest blog posts. Is it possible to limit it to a specific number of latest posts? Currently it shows all posts. Thanks.

Hi,

We have a RECENT POSTS module that you can use, alternatively. This module will pull the most recent posts alone (3 or 4) based on your setting.

Thanks, Swami

Thanks, but the Recent Post module produces a visible error with the Share This feature. This is the message:

Warning: Missing argument 3 for be_get_share_button(), called in /homepages/45/d15872556/htdocs/blog/wp-content/themes/oshin/blog/loop-shortcodes.php on line 54 and defined in /homepages/45/d15872556/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/be-page-builder/functions/helpers.php on line 249

Hi,

Can you check if you have the latest verison of the Theme and BE page builder ? The instructions to update the theme can be found in this article in the knowledge base – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/update-theme/ .

Let me know if the issue persists.

By the way I do not see the Supported Tag beside the account name here. Kindly renew the support pack for further theme support.

Thanks, Swami

Excellent theme, for anyone on the fence, really nice to work with backend builder and the theme is very smooth, nice animations and easy to skin.

I have noticed a small CSS issues only on FireFox for PC, ver 49.0.1 https://pageshot.net/tWDTK6vnaO9N8Crg/www.cloudsaway.ie

There seems to be a duplication of the icons, not sure if this is from icoonmoo or how the buttons are done. I can share logins etc if you contact me directly @author :) still 5/5 very nice theme :)

Hi,

Thank you very much for your kind words and I am really glad you like the theme. :-)

Yes please email your URL, wp-admin id and password via the Contact Form in the support tab so we can look into the issue and provide a fix accordingly.

Thanks, Swami

Will do

Hi, bought a while ago, just got round to using it! I udnerstand that the responsive feaures can’t be disabled or limited in any way right? (I would like it to shrink to no less than say 600px)? Also, I have a floating sidebar (text widget) on the left. On mobile this is moved to the bottom of the page content which is bad because it is a floating menu…anything that can be done about this?

Hi,

Yes, the responsive breakpoints cannot be modified in the theme. You can add custom CSS code that will apply of certain elements specifically.

And about the position of the Sidebar on Mobile, unfortunately, there isn’t an option to position it differently as the mark up structure is designed in that way.

Thanks, Swami

Hi there! Really love your product. We just have little issue with our blog. The posts are not displaying the content. Here an example. http://charity-apparel.com/wasserversorung-kenia/ Would be great if we could get some help. Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you! I am glad you like the theme. :-) Can you please check if you have added the content in the default WP editor or in the Page Builder section of the Blog Post. In case you are using the Page Builder, you need to additionally enable an option under OSHINE OPTIONS > BLOG SETTINGS > Enable Page Builder for Single Posts.

Thanks, Swami

Is there a way to have all the pages on my site side swipeable on mobile devices or using the arrow keys? My users have given me feedback that this is the behaviour that they expect to switch between pages like from the home page to the about page and so on.

Also, can you please explain how you implement single page site properly, particularly if you already have all the pages set up?

Hi Shaun,

Unfortunately, swipe navigation among pages is not possible and you need use the Menu Items to navigate between pages.

The isntructions on how to set up a Single Page site can be found in this article in our knowledge base – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/set-up-single-page-site/

Do let me know if you have further questions in implementing this.

Thanks, Swami

Hello Swami, please be advised that I have been working with the author of Slider Revolution who discovered a problem with some of the coding in the theme which prevented the slider from displaying correctly.

He told me to let you know the fix works as follows:

“Hi Shaun,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve just checked your Website and I’m able to see the issue there. To fix this I’ve removed a script from the theme “oshin/js/script.js” line #474 – #490. It seems to work now, could you please check on your end? Also, please contact the theme author about the changes I’ve made to your theme files and make sure they include the changes in the next update. Well, let us know how it goes.

Best Regards

KC”

Hi Shaun,

That is the piece of code we have written to change the Color of the Navigation Menu links dynamically based on the Tone of the BG Image used in the Slider. There is, however an option to turn this dynamic color changing off under OSHINE OPTIONS > GLOBAL SITE LAYOUT AND SETTINGS.

Thanks, Swami

Hi! I’ve noticed that when I try to import demo data: content; that nothing imports over. Is this an error or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Hi,

The problem with the import process could occur if your server, does not support XML file format in which sample content files are shipped. Kindly email your URL, wp-admin id and password via the Private Message form in the Support Tab so we can investigate this further. Also mention the choice of demo you want to import in the site.

Thanks, Swami

We have purchased the theme for one of our clients. How can we have a multi language site?

Hi,

The theme is compatible with WPML plugin – www.wpml.org that can be used to have your site in multiple languages. This is the most common and powerful plugin. Many of our users have used this plugin to set their site up in multiple languages.

Thanks, Swami

I am trying to install v13 on your demo themes. But I can’t find ‘Primary’ contents.

Hi,

Actually you are referring to an older version of our documentation. We have removed the references to this link from all places, but I am sorry if you were wrongly directed.

The current documentation can be found in this link here – brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase .

The article about importing content is – www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/import-demo-content/

About the missing Primary Content – we have revised the organisation of our Import Content in the latest version of BE One Click Import Plugin. In this version, we have removed the Primary Content and integrated it with each of the demo data. So your import process is simplified where you just have to directly choose the demo of your choice and Click on Import.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

We have responded to your email query as well.

Thanks, Swami

I need the newest update of the master slider, I’ve updated the theme but the master slider won’t update and I’m not sure if it is causing problems on my page suddenly all of the videos on my website are showing a 404 page not found error. I’ve checked the links and they are all good, so I can’t find a reason for this I really need to get those video links working as I’m applying for jobs right now. Thanks

Hi,

The latest version of the Slider plugin – 3.0.4 is included in the latest theme package (OSHINE 4.6.1) . Kindly follow the instructions here to update the included plugins – http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/update-plugins/ .

Thanks, Swami
