Hi Swami,

I’m having issues with the recent update. I’ve gone through the updating steps, but the BE to Tatsu converter is returning errors in converting – none of my pages have successfully converted. And when I try to use Tatsu in a page, it just stays on it’s loading screen forever.

Wondering if there will end up issues if I keep using my layouts in BE page builder? It’s worked well for me up to now.

Hi,

Apologies for inconveniences you are having, but it looks like a 3rd party plugin is interfering with the working of Tatsu. Kindly share your wordpress admin url, ID and password to help@brandexponents.com citing the issue and our developers will investigate and identify the conflicting plugin or the issue. Also share your FTP access, just incase we have to look into the debug logs. We will ensure your pages and posts are transitioned to tatsu. Don’t worry your content and your layouts will be retained after the convertion.

Hi guys, great template! I’m having an issue with just one thing. When I’m entering to one of portfolio item on my website menu kinda stops working because of the website address change. For the menu URL addresses I’m using #main,#about, etc. When I change them to full wesbite address for example: http://marjoramstudio.com/#about then it stops sliding to sections. On your demo site: http://oshine.wpengine.com/v12/ everything works fine (sliding and menu while opened portfolio item) and I can’t figure out how to makie it right.

Hi,

I am really glad you like our theme. You should actually enter the complete url for the links so that they work even when you are in an internal page such as your portfolio gallery or blog post. http://www.marjoramstudio.com/#about is the right way to use it. I just checked your site the links seem to be working fine and are in the correct format. Have you already resolved this ?

Thanks, Swami

Hi,

Yes, I’ve resolved this in a mean time. Lack of WWW was the problem. Just like you’ve written. Thanks for the answer.

Regards, Filip

The only problem I have right now is that Tatsu keeps loading in my English pages, but don’t open the edit screen, where I can change and add modules and stuff. What could be the problem?

Also this page is not working well on mobile:

http://www.salesmarketeer.nl/services/temporary-staffing-solution/?lang=en

The text is visible but with white borders which overlaps the text. In the Dutch site it works fine and also some pages in the english site, but I can’t find the problem.

I followed all the right steps for the migration 5.0. and this is the only problem left.

Please help me :-)

Hi Arjan,

I noticed that you have opened up multiple comment threads here. It is difficult to keep track of and also impossible to debug issues like the ones you have just by looking at the front end links. Kindly consolidate and send us a mail to help@brandexponents.com and our developers will investigate the problems at the earliest.

regards, Saranya

Thanks a send you an e-mail.

The master slider is zooming in on my images, though they are the same size as the slider (as set in the Slider Settings tab, 1280 X 910). Is there somewhere else I should also be specifying these sizes? Note that when I make changes to these values nothing actually happens on the site either, for example decreasing the height to 200px has no effect on the size of the master slider. Can be seen at http://dev.7thfloordigital.com/. Thanks so much!

Never mind, figured it out! Had to change Slider sizing method….

Hi! I purchased 1 copy of Oshine already and want to buy one more license for my second website. Can I have a discount for it?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in purchase a second license. Kindly contact us at help@brandexponents.com and we will offer an exclusive discount.

Oshine V5

Two questions. In social media footer setting new_tab=”1” not working.

I used loco translate to change the language in Oshine Plugin, showed me once my original language and then returned to English and I can not change it anymore.

new_tab= “yes” not working too

new_tab = 1 is the correct attribute. Try using it without the double quotes.

regards, Saranya

You didn’t respond to my previous comments so I will attempt a new thread. The website advertises “over a dozen different starter templates” & “multi-purpose wordpress portfolio theme with 23 unique demos.” In tatsu when I click on “load templates” and I attempt to click on templates from page, premium, and section templates nothing appears other than the one I’ve saved. Where are the ones that come with it and how do I load them?

Hi,

Apologies for the delayed response. We have been tied up a lot of requests lately and for faster responses, always contact us via the support tab. We have 5 members working in the support forum, while just one out here. With regards to the templates, I think you are referring to the demos. Demos are different templates. Once you create a page you can save it as a template, so that you can quickly use it as a starting point for another page. Demos are the ones prebuilt sites that we have included with the theme. They are not available as templates via Tatsu. Kindly follow the instructions here in our knowledgebase here to import a demo of your choice. http://www.brandexponents.com/oshine-knowledgebase/knowledge-base/import-demo-content/

Kindly follow all the instructions right from importing the content and sliders, to setting up your home, blog pages & main menu and your site will look like the demo, and it be easy to get started from there. If you have any issues, reach out to help@brandexponents.com

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, before you sent this page I went ahead and loaded options panel settings and widgets. Do I need to delete these now? I’ve experianced problems with the 500 server error, when I contacted my webhost they said it was because I had too many plugins. Are there plugins I can deactivate that are used only for page building that I can disable after it’s finished?

Hi,

The 500 internal server while importing the demo content is most likely because of your server’s limited PHP memory limit or max_execution_time. If you set your memory limit to 128MB and max_execution_time to 300. By the way you can also disable all your plugins, while importing your demo and then once the import process is done you can reenable it. If you need importing any demo let me know and we can assist. I can help import ONE demo of your choice and set your website like that so that you can use it as starting point. If you had a good server, this process wouldn’t take more than 5 mins.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, I spent the evening diving into Tatsu and I’d like to pass along some findings. Not sure if any of this is related to the NextGEN conflict, but here it goes…

1) I have big pieces of work that don’t get saved. I’ll add a new Section at the bottom of a page, make two columns, add a simple title and a SliderRev shortcode. Tatsu will say “Saved.” However when I view the page the new section isn’t present. Then if I re-enter Tatsu for the page, the changes are partially, or not saved at all.

2) I’m having a hard time figuring out how to work with Tatsu. Once I’m using Tatsu, it seems hard to get back to the Wordpress Page Editor. I like to see the results as I work. Tatsu doesn’t give me a complete preview of the page. One example, adding a Slider Rev short code doesn’t display the slider.

3) How does Tatsu interact with the Wordpress Page Editor? Is okay to open Tatsu in a new tab and work with the WP Page Editor & Tatsu Page Builder at the same time? It seems like I am overwriting or running into some bizarre stuff.

4) Any ETA on the update? I like the Tatsu concept, but lots of little gremlins causing a productivity block currently.

Feel free to login if you’d like to explore on my site, you should still have my credentials. —Jack

Hi Jack,

Looks like Ram has already responded to your questions in our support forum. By the way, you shouldn’t be editing the content simultaneously in the default wordpress editor as well Tatsu. Obviously your changes in one will get overwritten in another, unless you refresh the editor or Tatsu after making a change in either one. This approach is not recommended and I am not sure why you would have to necessity to modify them simultaneously given both save content in the same place.

Thanks, Swami

is anyone else finding the media library incredibly slow to load through TATSU?

Also, is there a way to selectively turn off the lightbox gallery so that images are not clickable at all?

great work on TATSU by the way, once I worked it all out it was working well.

and when I say takes a long time to load the media library I’m talking so long that I give up (30minutes plus).

Another quick question I forgot to ask, can we have more than one instagram account connected? I have two accounts that I need to show in the widget but can’t seem to add more than one account to it. I’m assuming this has more to do with instagram permissions than anything else but would love a work around if there is one.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback on Tatsu. It definitely shouldn’t take that long to load your media library. We believe there may be a 3rd party conflict or your server might have been very slow at that moment. The media library usually pops up immediately and images may take a few seconds to load depending on the speed of your server and network connection. 30 mins is too long and something is wrong. Usually If there was a javascript or 3rd party plugin issue, then the media library woundn’t load at all, which is why I believe it may have been your server or network connection at that time. Kindly share your wordpress admin url, ID and password to help@brandexponents.com and we will investigate from our end as well. Currently, we do not have an option for linking more than one instagram account. I would recommend trying a plugin such as this – https://wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/ and see if it has that feature. We will consider adding an option for getting the API key in the Gallery module itself so that multiple accounts can be displayed.

Hi, just upgraded to Version 5.0 but some things doesn’t work anymore.

1. In the previous version i deregistered the magnificpopup javascript to use my custom magnificpopup version. But now the scripts are loaded async. How to disable this? Is it possible to disable async loading of the scripts inside the child-theme?

2. Some of my own js-functions use the function imageloader. But the script is also loaded async. Must i use on all of my custom functions the asyncloader.require or is there another option?

3. How to leave the tatsu editor and return to the page editor of wordpress? There is only one button ‘go to dashboard’. But it opens in a new tab/window.

At last i find a little error in the special_headings5 shortcode. There is an attribute for the opacity (set to 0.2), but in tatsu editor you can’t change this vale, because there is no field.

Thanks in advance Regards bandicut

Hi Bandicut,

1 & 2 . I guess you know the wordpress API. You should try enqueing a javascript file in the footer, mark these files “tatsu”, ‘oshine-module’, & ‘be-themes-script-js’ as its dependencies. Inside your javascript file have an immediately executing function ( NOT inside document.ready ) and register your version of the magnific popup and image loader using the asyncloader.

asyncloader.register(  ABSOLUTE LINK TO YOUR FILE, 'magnificpopup' );

You should use enqueue the file using your child theme. The order of registering of scripts is very important and will determine whether your script gets loaded or not. We haven’t customized this and I am not really sure if it will work. We can’t support customization requests at this time either.

2. You don’t have to use all your scripts with the asyncloader. We have builder asyncloader to load jquery plugins asynchronously and on demand. Earlier a google maps or a magnific popup’s javascript file used to load irrespective of whether there was a maps module or a gallery module in the page. Now we will load them only if required for performance reasons.

3. Yes the wordpress dashboard loads in a new tab because, we don’t want you to leave the page accidentally without saving the work done in Tatsu. It is easier to close a tab but difficult to restore a unsaved content created after spending valuable time. Until users get used to the new builder, we don’t want to take chances.

4. Opacity option is right now built into the color field. So the old attribute is no longer being used. Refer screenshot here: https://cl.ly/3N3h1I173x3n

Thanks, Swami

Hi,

I’m having a problem with my image (which is placed inside of a textbox) showing up on different browsers. The image is only showing on Safari and is not showing on Firefox, Explorer, or Chrome. It’s the pink papas cool logo on top of the first background image on the homepage.

Hi,

Responded to the same request in our support platform.

Thanks, Swami

I’ve successfully linked my Instagram feed to my gallery but my photos are cropped when selected.

Hi,

From what I can see the instagram feed seems to be in the right dimensions. I mean the thumbnails are of the same square aspect ratio of the enlarged images. Thumbs are 68×68 while the actual one is 640×640. Screenshot attached here. https://cl.ly/1E3e0Q11362L https://cl.ly/132p1M1a0w1U

Thanks, Swami

This is how an image appears on instagram. http://imgur.com/a/EeLLb This is how it appears when you click on it on my site. http://imgur.com/a/y2pt9

It is cropped and scaled up so it looks low-res.

The images we receive from instagram are cropped to square resolution. This is the same way it is showcased in our demos. We have to update our code and see if we can receive the full sized image from their API. We will be able to do so only in one of our upcoming updates. In the meanwhile you can try using this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/instagram-feed/ to see if it serves your need.

Thanks, Swami

This theme has a massive SEO flaw in its widgets for recent posts, I just completed a build with it. Author the widgets are exposing permalinks in the code instead of the verbose SEO friendly URL Slugs. Anyone useing this is likely seeing what we are with blog posts indexing as permalinks not their SEO friendly URLs. We are no longer using the widget, it looked great as does the theme. I would wait for this to be resolved before using this feature on the theme the default WP news widget will work, although it is not styled by default to work with the theme some simple css will do the trick as a stop gap.

Excellent, to all who are thinking of buying this it is a really solid theme. We will review the next update and revert back to the theme native widget once it is updated.

Thanks for the feedback. We have actually fixed this and uploaded the theme for review. The update should be available tomorrow.

Thanks, Swami

Thanks great to hear, we need to update the theme anyway this is just an added bonus :)

I upgraded to Oshine 5.0 and everything seems to be working except I have broken image links on the Clients scrolling slide show at the bottom of my About page. When I go to edit, the images show up fine on the backend. Please advise. Thanks! http://www.arifhodzicmusic.com/index.php/about/

Update: When I deactivated the plugins one by one the same result happened. All content under the top image is gone. When I turn on all of the BE plugins then I’m back to where I started. All the content appears and the images in Clients section have broken images.

Hi,

I just checked your site and looks like everything is fine now. I see that Tatsu is being in the page and clients section has all its images.

Thanks, Swami

Yes. Thanks. Once I migrated the info from BE to Tatsu it worked!

Hello,

I’m currently adding animated gifs as portfolio thumbnails (featured images) and I’m wondering if there will be an update to the theme so that it supports mp4 or webm for the featured images? (Just like imgur uses gifv, to decrease file size and have better quality at the same time).

Thanks for the reply

Hi Oscar,

We actually found that GIFs are actually supported by the portfolio grid already. we basically crop images to various dimensions required by the portfolio grid using Wordpress’s in built image cropping functions. Wordpress handles this part and what is does is that while cropping the gifs it strips them of the animation and generates jpegs instead. So the problem is not with the rendering by the theme, but rather the cropping by Wordpress. So the solution is for us to stop using cropped dimensions. The downside of doing this is that you will no longer be able to have a uniform grid automatically, unless all your featured images are uploaded with the same dimensions. Let me know if this is okay with you, in which case I will provide a custom php snippet for use inside the child theme.

Thanks, Swami

Hello,

Well, that is not really what I was looking for. I’m already using gifs in my portfolio grid as featured images and that is working fine. What I was wondering was if you could implement to support the use of mp4 or webm as portfolio featured images. Thanks /Oscar

Hi Oscar,

Apologies but we don’t have this functionality yet. We are having technical difficulties in supporting all the grid possibilities we have ( backward compatibility ) and thus have had to put the feature on hold.

Thanks,
Swami

Hi,

I am now working in Tatsu and I have a couple questions.

1. How can I move columns around? I have created a column and put a text block with a photo inside of it. Now I need to move the photo/column to the correct position over my background image. Using custom margins and/or padding only moves the image around inside of the column but does not move the column itself. This leaves me with a very large text block.

I know that I could use css to do this, but I’m having trouble adding custom css with this theme. I usually find the code I need with an browser inspector, but I can never manage to find the correct line of code for this them. Also, I am guessing there is a way to easily do what I want to do with Tatsu.

2. I’m using a sidebar menu and when editing in Tatsu it distorts my background image and makes it difficult to see some of the adjustments that I am making. Is there a solution to this?

3. When I make my first background image fixed instead of scroll, the photo enlarges significantly. I would like the photo to stay the same size in that it is in the scroll position when I change it to fixed.

Thank you for all of your help.

Hi,

Sent a detailed response to the same request in our support platform.

Thanks, Swami

I migrated to 5.0.1 and everything is working fine.

I have one issue after installing WPML. The page title and breadcrumbs are visible on the English pages and not in Dutch: http://www.salesmarketeer.nl/services/?lang=en vs http://www.salesmarketeer.nl/diensten/. How can I change that?

Kind regards, Arjan

I fixed the homepage with this code:

.home #content-wrap{ padding-top: 0px; }

How can I do this for all my (english) pages like: http://www.salesmarketeer.nl/services/?lang=en

Cheers Arjan

Hi Arjan,

It looks like you have edited your home page with the default wordpress editor. Switching to the default wordpress editor and editing your content will add a title bar to the page. If you are actually editing the page with tatsu and just switched the default editor for a simple change, just edit the page with Tatsu and save it once. Otherwise you wouldn’t have the title bar and you wouldn’t even have to use css to modify the padding. With regards to Tatsu not working in your site, it looks like a 3rd party plugin conflict. Kindly deactivate 3rd party plugins one by one to identify the incompatible one and if the issue still persists, please write to us at help@brandexponents.com and our developers will investigate.

regards, Saranya

Thanks a send you an e-mail.

Since updating to the new version, i have issues with stacking fixed animated heights. Now its generating a spacing between them in the columns.

https://insurawealth.com/pjouve/mysite/blog/plan-re-design/

I’ve removed the gutter to 0px, yet its still creating that space. Refer to the section with Cash Flow, Risk Mgmt, and Invest etc. They used to stack on top of each other without the white space.

Thanks

Hi,

Responded to your email. Resolved the issue.

Thanks, Swami

Hi Swami, Since updating to the latest version, all my pages are screwed up. The pictures dont stretch the screen and for some reason, page titles have appeared everywhere.

Can you take a look here: approachit.co.uk

thanks in advance

Thanks Swami, the last problem i’m having since updating is, in the latest version of firefox, my menu items at the top of the page are dark grey instead of white? Any idea’s?

Cancel that, it only seems to be the about page and contact page? strange? also doing it in IE on those pages.

Hi Lukus,

Could you kindly edit the about and contact pages in tatsu, edit the first SECTION and set the Header Color Scheme setting to LIGHT.

Thanks, Swami

Hello, I have done several tests by translating the plugin oshine-modules (languages files default.po and mo, and fr_FR.po and mo) but it does not work. Neither for the admin nor for the front

Hi,

Kindly follow the instructions below the translate the text strings.

a. Install the Loco Translate plugin from the wordpress repository

b. Navigate to LOCO TRANSLATE -> PLUGINS panel from your wordpress admin area and select the plugin ( OSHINE MODULES in your case ) you want to translate.

c. In the Overview tab, click New Language.

d. Skip the template creation process

e. Choose your language & choose a location. We would recommend choosing Custom the location. Click on the Start Translating Button.

f. Choose the text strings you want to translate from the Source texts and Enter their translations.

g. Once you are done translating the strings you want, click on the Save button. You will see a confirmation stating that .po and .mo files were compiled.

I tried this and it worked perfectly.

Thanks, Swami
