thanks for the reply

You’re welcome :)

Hi! I’ve bought your gorgeous theme! It’s really great! But I’ve a problem.

I’m not able to open the lightbox in the “Filtered Portfolio”. The href for the tag is empty, whilst in your demo site it points to an imagine:

Mine:

a class=”filter-image-holder” href=”” title=”” rel=”prettyPhoto[portfolio]” style=”opacity: 1;”

Yours:

a class=”filter-image-holder” href=”http://studiozen.imaginemthemes.com/wp/files/2011/08/1.jpg” title=”” rel=”prettyPhoto[portfolio]” style=”opacity: 1;”

I have linked a few images to that portfolio, but no way to open the lightbox.

What could I do? I’ve read the pdf manual, but no way to find the mistake.

Here is the link to my page: http://lnx.raffaellaziglioli.it/almenno/?page_id=83

Thank you very much Raffaella

Hi! Were yuo able to look at problem on the portfolio page?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I checked on the problem.

You forgot to include a featured image for the portfolio. You can check out the portfolio list. I’ve included featured image for one.

If you click the portfolio list from wp-admin you’ll see one page is having an image. You can set the featured image for the second one, this will activate the lightbox for it.

You can find the step by step guide to creating the portfolio in the Help-Guide

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Great Imaginem! Thank you very much for your help.

I have another question but I’ll open a different thread.

Thanks again!

Raffaella

Hi,

For some reason the menu background sits on top of the menu links.

Do you know why?

Thanks.

Hi,

I can give an accurate solution after checking the site. Do send a mail via my profile.

Thanks

Hi again,

For some reason after removing everything ‘pages, backgrounds, menu’s etc” I can still see those elements live.

I’ve viewed the site on a different computers ‘just encase i had some browser caching issues” but no luck.

Have you come across this before? Can you help?

Cheers

Hi,

This is most likely a caching issue. But i’d like to check before i can give an accurate solution.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve installed everything so far good.

I just have a few small questions.

Can I send my site url to your email address ‘off air’ as I don’t want it to be seen publicly at the moment?

Thanks.

Hi Eric Waterson,

You can send me a mail via my profile with the questions.

Thanks

hi imaginem, i’ve got 2 questions which i really hope you can help me with.

1. why does the background image go blurry on Internet explorer ?

(look at http://kitehuahin.com/lessons/ on firefox or chrome , then on Iexporer , its set as use featured image for background)

2. how can i center the text (or make it bigger) on my menu so that it doesnt look very crazy when i increase the size of social media icons.

Hi,

1. Edit style.css Line 214

Remove the line

filter: blur(add=trye, direction=135, strength=8); 

That will fix the blur from IE

2. Edit css/superfish.css

Enter at the end of file

.homemenu ul li > a {
    margin-top: 7px;
}

.menu-home-icon {
    margin: 15px 10px 0 5px;
}

You can play with the above margin values ( the first value is for the top ) to refine it to your preference.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

made the changes you suggested however i am still having issues.

1. removing filter: blur line from the style.css in wp-includes\themes\Studiozen made no difference . the images still look blurry in Internet explorer.

2. the Homemenu change you gave me doesnt work in Internet explorer , is there a way to center it in internet explorer as well ?

Hi,

You can try refreshing the page after it loads to get the css change.

Otherwise:

Try deleting IE cache. CSS styl;e changes sometimes require to flush the browser cache to get the change in effect.

Thanks

i just noticed in the demo, that when you stretch the site a lot, the social media icons fall outside of the navigation bar.

Is there a fix for this yet?

Very very nice theme…

Hi,

I tested it with 1920px wide montiro plus stretch the window on a dual monitor from one monitor to the other monitors edge but couldn’t replicate the error you specified.

Would appreciate if you could send a mail via my profile. I’d like to request a screenshot.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have more instructions? All I can see in teh download is some instructions for installing the theme into Wordpress.

Thanks.

Hi,

The Help Guide is included with the download package.

Studio Zen Help Guide.PDF

Let me know if you can’t locate it. I can send it to you via email.

Thanks

I really love the theme its fantastic.

some questions before I buy

1. Can I display self hosted videos ? on a page ? like quicktime time MP4 videos using jwplayer etc,,, I can see you have HTML5 videos which player you used ?

2. Can i change different backgrounds for different pages and a static background on the homepage ?

Many Thanks

Joshua

Hi Joshua,

1. The postformats use jplayer for audio and video playback.

http://jplayer.org/

It supports m4v , ogv as self hosted videos.

Jwplayer is used for fullscreen playback only.

2. Yes. If you have a single image selected for the slideshow it’ll act as a static image without transitions.

Thanks

http://pinoypride.net/chat <- live site..

The WP and theme is currently installed in /chat2

I have three issues.. the menu: the dj’s/mod’s submenu is getting covered by the flashplayer on Google Chrome… so there must be some z-index issues here.

2nd, how do I make the socialize plugin to only appear on the right side? As of now I had them on the page and sidebar, if I uncheck the socialize in page, it does not appear on both.

How, can I enclose the flashchat in a div and get controlled but a button on the sidebar? Like you see there now “maximize chat” and I wanted that flashchat to be fullscreen.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

1. Which submenu are you referring to? The menu and submenus of the theme is working fine in Chrome. No z-index issues.

Is the dj/mod menu an additional code? In that case you’ll need to apply z-index to the class wrapping the code or check on WMODE settings which some browsers require.

2. I’ll need a site url to check on this.

3. Is the flashchat a plugin or does it support fullscreen functionality. I’m not sure on this but sounds like it will require customizing to get that done. If the particular plugin has controllable button code you can try implementing it to a sidebar (if it’s HTML – by using a text widget)

Thanks

Wants to buy your theme, but need to ask some questions before: - is this theme support wordpress v. 3.2.1 in network mode? - where theme get some source files for gallery – from theme’s folder or from blogs.dir/xx/files ? Thank you :)

Hi,

The theme supports both multi site and single site deployments. The demo is hosted on a multisite.

The theme detects if it’s a multi site and will use blogs.dir/xx/files path to fetch images for resizing. Won’t be a problem.

Thanks

Hi imaginem, another question before I purchase this excellent theme: Do I have to create and upload thumbnails for Vimeo files manually, or does it pull the thumbnail from Vimeo automatically? Hope you understand my question.

Hi,

Yes, currently it’s required to upload a thumbnail, it doesn’t fetch vimeo thumbnails dynamically.

Thanks

Oh, and I found another possible glitch in the admin panel.

Under Theme Options > Style > Background overlay pattern, when you select “none” it still shows the dots above the images in the background instead of no overlay. Might be an oversight in the source. Could you fix this perhaps?

Thanks for the catch.

Here’s the correct code.

edit /css/dynamic_css.php

Edit line 18 currently

if ( $background_overlay ) echo '.background-fill { background: transparent url('.$theme_imagepath. 'overlays/'.$background_overlay.'.png) repeat; } ';

to

if ( $background_overlay ) { echo '.background-fill { background: transparent url('.$theme_imagepath. 'overlays/'.$background_overlay.'.png) repeat; } '; } else { echo ' .background-fill {background:none;}'; }

This will correct it.

Thanks

Hi there,

I just bought the theme and it looks really great.

I would like to display blog posts, not regular pages, in a full width display and how can I do this? The blog post list can stay with sidebar, but once you click on an entry, it should open it in a full width view without the sidebar, just like you can do with regular pages.

I have already been browsing the source a little but havent found the parts to change so far.

What would be the best way to do it?

Hi,

You’ll need to edit some files for this as all the post formats are styled to go along with the two column layout.

Best would be to change the if post format is null, which is a standard post

$postformat = get_post_format();
if ($postformat=="") { } else {}

A condition check.

Here’s the files

edit single.php ( don’t display the sidebar at line 13 if postformat null )

edit loop-single.php ( line 7 ) remove float-left two-column classes

edit postformats/standard.php ( line 2 ) change $width=960;

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi i just bought Zen Studio. But how can i have a different background slideshow on each page?

I want every page has another background slideshow, i thought this was possible

Hi,

Sorry, background slideshows in Pages and Posts isn’t supported in the theme. I’ll note it as a feature request.

Thanks

The slide show with audio doesn’t appear to work with IE 9 . Is there a reason for this? I am running windows 7 and seek to buy this template—but I want to make sure it works with IE. It works fine with firefox and I have the latest flash plugin for both browsers… so I feel this must be a java script related issue that doesn’t perhaps work with IE 9 . Is there a workaround?

Hi,

I’ve re-tested the page with window 7 IE9 , and with IE Tester multiple versions as well. No issues/errors and the audio playback is is working fine over the slideshow. Could you possibly check from another machine.

Thanks

Oops… sorry. Must be something wrong with my browser. I went to a different machine and you’re right, it works fine. Thanks for clarifying… I will buy it. :-)

Thank you. :)

Let me know if you need more info.

Forgot to add the link for you to see: http://www.bluepoemcreative.com

Thanks, i’ve answered to the question in your previous comment.

I’m new to wordpress and absolutely loved your theme, the documentation is amazing!!! I’m in the process of customizing and have two questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with. 1- I uploaded my logo in the theme options section and put the settings for the logo to appear above the menubar on the left side, but it always shows up in the middle. 2-also what size do you recommend for the logo, I uploaded a fairly small size file but it still pushes the menu bar to almost mid screen. Hope you can help!! Thank you and Congratulations on a beautiful theme! here’s the link: http://www.bluepoemcreative.com

Hi,

1. To align the logo to the left

edit css/menu/superfish.css

.logo { margin:0 auto; padding: 0; display:block; text-align:center; }

Modify it by deleting the margin and text-align

.logo { padding: 0; display:block; }

This will set to the left as default position.

2. You can use any size logo for the theme. Let me know if the size of logo is not adjusting to the header. I’ll help.

Thanks

i’ve got one question

is it possible to have for the home page another background slide and for page two another background slide show.

I’ve got a client who wants more background slideshow for every page

thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can have any of the fullscreen pages , videos or slideshows as homepage. You can also have unlimited independent fullscreen pages. You can easily create links for them using the inbuilt wordpress menu builder. I’ve explained the process in the Help Guide.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer, so you can have for every page a different background slideshow?

I’m sorry i referred to fullscreen pages. The theme doesn’t do post and page background slideshows.

I’ll note this as a feature request.

Thanks

Hey, great work…I am just curious to know which gallery you are using? I have seen few slide galleries but not able to find any for wordpress. Tried to integrate slide gallery with my current website but no luck.

Hi Jonnyjii,

I’m using galleria and nivo as slideshows.

The other is a Link with lots of custom modifications. Mouse wheel , captions and cross browser support implemented.

Thanks
