Hi.
Love the theme thanks, just two questions:
1. How do I arrange and setup a gallery page as shown in your example? 2. I would like to setup a portfolio page with the following Structure:
Portfolio Page Sub Page 1 Gallery with individual Images Sub Page 2 Gallery with Individual Images
If you could help with this please
Thanks

Hello Tahir,
Create a new page, say Gallery1. Next, scroll down to the “Portfolio and Blog Options” and provide the category ID to fetch posts from. Next, assign a portfolio page template to it and publish the page.
Similarly create one more page and provide another category ID to fetch posts from. Assign a template and save the page.
Finally, go to Appearance > Menus. Create a dummy link “Portfolio” and add these two pages below it as Gallery1 and Gallery2. Save the menu.
For more instructions on creating a portfolio page, you can go through the documentation/index.html file’s section 8. Create a Portfolio page.

Do you plan on adding Pinterest share button to your social widget? If so I’ll buy the theme today.
Hello mrl14,
Pinterest follow icon and share button can be added easily. If this is the only thing, I will modify your social icon widget for Pinterest button.

HI Saurabh
Just a qq, having problems locating the file to edit the contact form 7 fields – want to change ‘url’. Could you point me in the right direction?
cheers Peter
Hello Peter,
If you are using Contact Form 7 Plugin, you can change or edit form fields inside the settings page for Contact Form 7.
If you are willing to change the built in contact form, the required file is contact-page.php. Changing a URL will require editing the validation code as well. So I would recommend using Contact Form 7 (if you need some other fields).

Oh and I have some issue with padding before and after page lines though…any tips?

Thank you for the great theme and support…the instructions have been great so far. I’ve seen you mention changing the theme color in the style.css…I’m assuming thats where I’d change the menu bar and bottom bar color?
thank you

Hello J,
Kindly drop me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you a complete list of selectors for changing navigation background, links, footer areas, etc. Also mention in detail about the page lines issue. A screen shot or link will be helpful.
Regards
I found it. Thanks!
Okay. No problem.
Thanks again for a great theme.
I have a slider image (the post is “slide2”) but no matter what I do it always links to the permalink for “slide2”.
I put a URL into the “Slider image links to” box but it seems to ignore this. And if I click the box to disable the link, it ignores that too.
Please advise. Thank You!
Hello SH,
Kindly send me your site URL and login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will see to it.

How can I easily get the sidebar to be on the left side instead?
Thanks!
I’d like to only display excerpts rather than the complete posts on the homepage. How can I achieve that?
Thanks
Hello klickmedia,
You can divide a post content into an excerpt using the <!--more--> quicktag. Open/Edit a post and place this tag where you wish to have a readmore button. For example:
Post content before the button. <!--more--> Content after the button
The content before this tag will become and excerpt.
Regards
I’d prefer to have this done automatically with the_excerpt(). In which file is the_content() being called for the homepage?
Thanks
Nevermind, found it: loop.php
Hello mate,
Thanks for finding it out. Further, if you are using the Blog Page Template, you will need to make same change inside blog-page.php file.
Regards
Hi Saurabh,
how can i display the latest news in content on the homepage and not as a widget in footer. (Like the John Kerr Site). Thank you.
Regards
Hello Mate,
I think they have used widgets-on-pages Plugin. Using this plugin, you can call a particular sidebar into the pages.
Other alternative can be using a normal page with sidebar and create a unique sidebar for that page. Next, place the recent Posts widget into that sidebar.

Forgive me, but I am new to Wordpress and themes.
I’m looking for some instructions to install images in the slider on my static homepage. The images are uploaded.
Appreciate your help
Hello templeinspection,
For detailed instructions, open your_download/documentation/index.html file. Next, you can go through Section 7. Configure Home page slider and content. If possible, also read the previous steps so that you don’t find any difficulty. I hope that will help. If not, feel free to ask me here.

How is the SEO on this theme?
Hello utropicmedia,
The theme is built with appropriate heading tags, tittle attributes, visual hierarchy and structure that is good for SEO . These are just basic requirements to get started. The results will depend on a good SEO plugin and site content though.

HI Again
just a quick question – how can I remove TARGET =”_blank” from buttons to stop it from opening in a new tab?
cheers Peter
Hello Peter,
You will need to make a small change inside the core file. Open includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file, and look for line no. 259:
return '<a href="'.$link.'" class="'.$btn_class.' '.$color_class.' '.$size_class.'" target="_blank">'.do_shortcode($content).'</a>';
Delete target=”_blank” and save the file. The links on button will open in same window then.

Hi,
The cruz mini slider displays only 1 ‘image’. I have different post in the category and they all have the “Featured Image URL ” filled in with different images link. But still the mini slider just displays 1 post image only.
Hello marcacer,
As the posts and featured image URLs are all correct, there can be only one reason – JavaScript conflict. Make sure you have provided a valid ID name for the mini slider inside the widget options. This can be like my_slider, mini_slider, etc. If that ID is not provided, the slider will not work.
If this doesn’t work, kindly mail me your WP login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will further look into it.

Hi I bought this theme a while ago and didnt use it but now seeing som eexamples of sites such as ths one http://www.johnkerraccountants.co.uk i think im going to use it for my new redesign.
I was wondering how to get the menu like this site http://www.johnkerraccountants.co.uk. i noticed in the page source code the menu uses something called wp ubermenu? is this soemthing you’ve used before and how easy will it be to change the menu tab colours as grey isnt in with my colour scheme.
thanks
Hello Robert,
On the JohnKerr site, the Buyer has used WordPress Mega Menu plugin. You can find this plugin on codecanyon.net. The theme supports this plugin.
For the color and styling part, I will send you necessary selectors for CSS , once you have set up the site.

Hi Saurabh,
I use your powerful theme since a moment and i’m trying to find an answer for these 2 problems :
• When i display a post which belong for example in two different categories, the header displays : “cat1cat2” at the beginning of the post and i need to insert a “space” between like that, “cat1 cat2”... I’ve searching in the .php files without results…
• I use “exclusive sidebar” (so usefull) and like this example : My home page with 3 widgets on the right, 1 – Text (html) with an image with a link X 2 – Text (html) another image with a link Y 3 – Cruz recent posts with a tittle “last news” for example Problem : my tittle (in the last widget) gives a link to the last widget 2 and it’s a recurring bug on other pages… When i move up widget 3 to the 1rst place the problem disappear but i need to respect this order…
Your help is welcome
Regards
Hello MATMAT ,
1. For category display issue, I suspect you are using version 1.5 (or below) of the theme. This issue was resolved as of version 1.6. If so, kindly send me your functions.php file at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will fix it and send it back. So that you don’t have to update entire theme.
2. For sidebar links issue. Make sure you have closed the anchor tags (that you used in image links). The following widgets will show linked titles only if the previous widgets have some unclosed anchor tags. I hope this is the only issue.

Hi I have two quick question! The theme is perfect and all, but how do I get rid of the slider on my “posts” page?
I tried to check the remove featured area and all sorts of things and it didn’t work.
The only thing that worked before was not setting my blog posts to the default “posts” selection in the WordPress Admin > Settings > Reading section. There, I could choose to have a static page as my homepage, and the I left the posts page blank. However, I just changed the wordpress to a multi-site wordpress, and now if I don’t select “updates” for my posts page, the posts don’t show up at all.
Thus, I’m wondering how I can remove the slider from the posts page while keeping it on the homepage.
Example: http://www.immigrationworks.org/updates/
Also, how would I get rid of the “Featured” Category from showing up in the “Posts” area? I can get rid of the category from the sidebar, but the Featured still shows.
Thanks a lot and keep up the great work (and the support you offer to your clients!)
Ben
Hello Ben,

You will need to make the same setting again. Next, create a page for Blog, say “Updates”. Scroll down to the page options panel and provide the category ID (or IDs) from which you wish to show blog posts. Here you can skip the category ID of “Featured”. Next, assign the page template “Blog Page” from the template drop down list, and publish the page.
This will create a blog page with your selective categories, no slider, and not featured area posts.

Hi Saurabh,
how can i remove the target=”blank” when using the style buttons.
Thx
Hello art-label,
You can remove target=”_blank” inside includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file, line no. 259:
return '<a href="'.$link.'" class="'.$btn_class.' '.$color_class.' '.$size_class.'" target="_blank">'.do_shortcode($content).'</a>';

Hello Saurabh,
Thank you for this template! It has been a pleasure to work with…
How can I link to tabs shown on a page? Is there a way to use an anchor tag?
Thanks,
Rich
Hello Rich,
Thanks for your kind feedback.
The tabs uses a random ID generated automatically. So, whenever you will refresh the page, the IDs change dynamically. Due to that, it is not possible to link a particular tab from an external anchor. i.e. if we link using a particular ID, it will change next time.
Regards
Hi Saurabh,
I have just purchased the theme and I like it very much. Good work. But Ih have one question at the moment:
The tabs content will always be displayed at the last right space of the whole tabs part width. this does not look very nice, and seems to be a bug?! As well on your example page happens the same.
Hoh can I solve that, so that the content of each tab will be displayed over the whole tabs part width?
thx
Hello dusticelli,
Thanks for your kind feedback.
The tabs content look fine on live preview. But I will agree with your point too. The tabs look shifted to the right side when the browser is zoomed out less than 100%.
In order to fix this, open style.css file and look for the following code inside section 6. SIDEBAR AND WIDGETS :
.tabs { margin:0px; padding:0px; list-style:none; position:relative; height:30px; z-index:10; border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3 }
Add overflow:hidden to this selector:
.tabs { overflow:hidden; margin:0px; padding:0px; list-style:none; position:relative; height:30px; z-index:10; border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3 }
The tabs should work fine then. I will place this fix in future update.
Regards
