Hello limecity,

Both sliders are coded inside header.php file, and are used depending upon the option chosen from Theme Options Panel. If you wish to use the accordion slider, that can be placed by replacing any of the existing slider code (Cycle or Nivo) inside header.php file.

Let me know if you are working on it and need any help.

Regards

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your kind feedback.

The mega menu (as you have suggested) can not be created using built in WP Menu system. For that, either it is required to create a separate menu system, or you can use the plugins that support mega menu. Check some of these on CodeCanyon.

In our current menu system, we can only increase the width of drop down menu. But adding a text description will be hard to accomplish. See if the mega menu plugins can solve your purpose.

Hello Chris,

I just downloaded the theme from here and the documentation is there inside cruz-modern-business-wordpress/documentation/index.html

If you are unable to see it, you can mail me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I’ll send it to you separately.

Hello there,

You can set sidebar width and content width inside style.css file (at around line no. 105 and 108) as:

.content { width:590px }
.sidebar { width:270px }

I’d suggest you to stick with the current widths as this will affect layout columns, widgets etc. If you are good at CSS , you can of course re-size individual elements. But changing the grid widths will affect overall layout.

Hello Chris,

You can get there from your_download_zip/documentation/index.html file.

Hello Robin,

This is a Server side issue, and possibly your Host can resolve it. This error is generally rectified by rebooting the server, or by clearing the session files. That requires a cleanup script to be executed inside the tmp/ directory. You will need to ask the Hosting support staff to do so, and I hope it will be resolved.

Hello Patryk,

Kindly check my answer on your previous comment.

Hello again,

WordPress does not allow php code inside the editor, or text widgets. However, you can try this plugin for executing pgp code inside widgets.

Hello Patryk,

For Cycle Slider, you will need to disable the following code inside js/custom.js file line no. 170 to 174:

    $s('.slider').hover(function(){
        $s('.controls').show();
    }, function() {
        $s('.controls').hide();
    });

Removing this code will hide the buttons completely.

For Nivo Slider, open js/nivo_init.js file and look for line no. 14:

directionNav:true, // Next & Prev navigation

Set this to false, and save the file.

Hello Patryk,

1. In old version of timthumb (version 2.7), there was an issue with the document root. The sites hosted on virtual server returned null for document root, and so images were not getting displayed. Your current theme version is 1.5 which was using old timthumb.

You can re-download the latest version of timthumb and replace it inside cruz/scripts/ folder. Next, set permission as 755.

This new version has a fix for document root issue, and I hope it will work at your end.

2. The slider can only be used on home page as a primary page. It will not work on sub-pages or pages other than home.

Regards

Hello ccorpusa,

Go to WordPress Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays > A Static Page. Next, set front page as “Home” and posts page to NONE . (Do not set any page for posts). Save these settings.

Now create a new page for blog (say, blog or news) and provide the category ID for blog posts inside the page options panel. Assign the “Blog Page” template to it and publish the page. Your blog page will now show the posts from specified category, and with no slider.

Regards

Hello Putra,

The blog images are inserted manually using the img tag or [frame] short code. You can do so by writing the post content in following way:

[frame src="url_of_source_image" width="590" height="200"]
Post content starts here.
<!--more-->
Content after the read-more button.

You can also replace the [frame] short code with direct image tag (if you already have a 590px image)

<img title="your title" src="url_of_590px_image" />

I hope this will help.

Regards

Hi SaurabhSharma

Thanks for reply. Is it possible to use the timthumb script for the header, since it would execute as a script instead of an image ?

Putra

Hello Putra,

Yes it is possible using the [frame] short code. This short code uses timthumb script for auto resize on images. You only need to insert the short code (via visual short code button) and provide the parameters (image source, width, height etc).

The image will be processed inside the short code function, without having to place the timthumb script call directly inside the editor.

Hello eghalamb,

A sub menu can be set by dragging the menu item to the “right-side” direction just beneath it’s parent menu inside Appearance > Menus. It is not required to set those pages as child. This can be done by simple drag and drop.

Regards

Hello SD,

You can find the selector for submit button inside style.css file, section 10. FORMS (at line no. 476, 477 and 478):

#commentform input#submit
#commentform input#submit:hover
#commentform input#submit:active

The changes you make in these selectors will apply to contact forms and comment form of blog pages.

Hello pburner,

The images on your site are not showing due to a temporary URL . Timthumb will not work on temporary URLs like http://somesite/~somefolder.

If you click on the image URL , you will get internal error. Once you switch on to a permanent URL , timthumb will work normal. Your configuration, permission and images are all fine. It’s just with the temporary URL .

Regards

I have used temporary URLs on many WordPress sites I have built in the past and timthumb has worked just fine. I suspect some other issue.

Hello again,

Yes you might have got timthumb working with temporary URLs, but those timthumb versions were old (and vulnerable). There is a cross-domain version of timthumb that works fine on temporary URLs (and is not secure). But the one that comes with this theme is the latest version, more secure, but will not work on temporary URLs.

I can understand you have worked on many WP themes in past, but I have had buyers that faced same problem, and got resolved after switching on a permanent URL .

If you wish to get it confirmed completely, you can test the theme on localhost with just a test post and image.

Regards

Hello ITBA ,

The answer to all your queries is the missing JavaScript files. I just checked the source code and found that the JS folder doesn’t contain all the JavaScript files that comes with the theme. The following files are missing: tabs.js
jquery.cycle.all.min.js
jquery.prettyphoto.js
form_.js
custom.js
nivo_init.js

You will need to upload these files to the js/ folder. After uploading, I hope everything will work normal as expected.

Regards

THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU ! I copied the missing files to /js, and now the slider, the accordion and the tabs work perfectly…as well as I can now use sidebar widgets which weren’t allowing drag/drop before.

HOWEVER , the social icons widget still does not show in my default header (only the title text). Nor would they show in my Featured Widget area (again, only the text with dots as place markers for the icons). But this social widget DOES work, as you will see, in the sidebar and secondary columns. To help with troubleshooting, I tried loading these same troublesome areas with “recent posts” (worked), “pages” (worked), “mini post portfolio” (worked). “Mini slider” showed up but would not slide, and arrows were out of whack. This happens in Featured Widget area, too as you will see. Apparently the problem occurs only in these two areas.

You can view the problematic presentations at: http://www.itbusinessassociation.com/?page_id=170

Once again, thank you.

Hello ITBA ,

I am glad you uploaded all JS files intact, and it worked. For widgets, I have exclusively mentioned inside the documentation file that the “Header widget area” and “Featured widget area” is only for text widget or search widget. Do not use other widgets in them.

I have only included widget styles for use on sidebars or secondary widget area. But if you are willing to use social widget on header or featured widget area, you will need to include the styles as I mentioned earlier. I can see that you didn’t added the selectors as I stated. All the three lines have same selector:

.header_wgt_area ul.social {}

It should be:

.header_wgt_area ul.social {}
.header_wgt_area ul.social li {}
.header_wgt_area ul.social li a {}

Once you correct this, social icons will show.

Hello sinkt,

Yes the theme is compatible to WordPress 3.3. The previous version (1.6) was also compatible.

Regards

Hello altlab,

Sorry for that. I will update it in a while. The changes were not feature specific. Just fixed some CSS styles for admin drop down boxes, updated plugins, moved JavaScript calls into functions.php, and fixed validation for prettyphoto rel attribute.

Regards

Hello Ben,

The theme supports language localization via .po and .mo files. You can have ONE WordPress site per language using these translation files. For that, you will need to install WordPress in your native language. Next, configure the .po and .mo files (as described inside the documentation file’s “Using Language Options” section). You can find more details on this link.

This was about using one complete site in one language. But for using multiple languages within same site, you may need to use a third party plugin.
