Hello there,

Thanks for the great theme. Having a couple issues I need help with.

First, I cant seem to get the contact form to work. I filled in name, and email and left the rest blank. Then sent an email to myself to test. no luck.

Thanks much

Hello,
I can see that you’ve asked about captcha. Does that mean, that you’ve solved the problem with contact form?

No, the contact form still doe not work. I have added the basic info… name/email and tested it with no results.

Thanks much

Please send me url to your page on my email via contact form. You can also send me admin credentials.

1)

I want to change the opacity of the yellow background without affecting the content (the text etc.) can you point me to the part of the style sheet that only changes the BG, because the part i found changes the opacity of everything including the text.

2) Where do I go on my dash to change the about text you have on the bottom by the music player?

the rest i will take to forum

thanks in advance.

1) Please change 3rd parameter of rgba background under #nostalgia-tab-content in style.css file (line 1143). Now the value is 0.9. If you’re using custom bg color please change that value also in header.php file, line 50.

2) Appearance->Theme Options->Background->Background title

HELLO , here you can find screenshot for the iPhone problem. It looks like the website doesn’t want to resize at the iPhone screen resolution. In the preview of Nostalgia in theme forest it works much better.

Thank you! If you’re using iPhone 3, then there are no version prepared for it. Theme will fit the resolution of the iPhone 4. Did you try to decrease zoom?

Hi,

I’ve installed the theme and started adding pages but have a few questions…

1. how do I get the portfolio/about/service pages to appear? I tried adding content and publishing but the pages don’t show up in my menu?

2. Can I change the name of the portfolio page to suit my content?

3. Can I place a logo in the box where the site name appears?

Thanks!

Hi,
I can import dummy content for you. Please send me your admin area credentials via contact form in my profile.

Great thanks. I sent you a message last night with my log in details.

cheers

G.

Yes, I’ve received it, thanks. I’ll take a look at this as soon as possible.

Hi, I have figured out most of my problems with the theme and I love the theme! So glad I bought it! 2 questions left-

1.HOW CAN I MAKE IT SO WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE LOGO RECTANGLE OR THE CONTENT ICON THE PAGE WILL RETURN TO THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CLICK THE THE MENU “X” BUTTON ?

2. Can I add Descriptions to the individual portfolio galleries? Perhaps above the thumbnails or somewhere?

Hi,
1. Please use link like that:

<a href="#!/main"></a>
2. You can add descriptions in editor. Example:
---description---
[nostalgia_portfolio category='images']
---description video---
[nostalgia_portfolio category='video']

Hello there i went into the folder i found in the nostalgia theme folder and changed what u said to me but the problem still persist. Maybe i should have changed it withing the web page? cause i couldnt find functions.php inside de page, please give me a hand i m very new to this thanks.

www.http://www.konvert.cl/#!/about ( in case u didn’t know the url)

Hello,
Yes you need to change that on your ftp (or via wordpress editor – Appearance->Editor). Or change locally, then install the theme again.

the bottom container, as I know the top one is an opaque yellow, as i would like the background image to show through.

thanks

Could you describe this with another words? I don’t understand what you would like to reach.

please point me to where I can change the containers’ (blog,portfolio,contact,about) opacity and color.

and how do I get rid of the accordion mechanism and display all the posts in portfolio.

thanks in advance

You can change the color from colorpicker. You can find it under page editor in Options box. Opacity can be changed from style.css file (#nostalgia-tab line 1111).
To remove accordion please open portfolio_post_type.php and replace that line:

$output .= '<div class="nostalgia-accordion">';with:<pre>$output .= '<div>';</div></pre></div>

Hello, I ave installed Nostalgia on wordpress 3.3 and it works perfect everywhere apart on my iPhone.

If I look at the theme preview, it works well on the iPhone. My website intend is not well resized. Can you help me?

Here there is a link to check http://www.tv-pre.com/dalaleo/

Hi,
Theme is not fully compatibile with iPhone. Could you provide some screenshot, which will show me what’s wrong?

I’ve installed this great theme and I love it except that only posts are showing in the menu. There is no “blog” or “portfolio” or “contact” appearing in my menu. I’ve tried adding portfolio items and posts, but its only PAGES that show up in my menu. PLEASE HELP !

You need to add pages and then use appropriate shortcodes (more in documentation). For blog, please set blog template for a page.

Also-

in the Blog Page :

I would like to hide the ” Recent Posts”, “Recent Comments”, “Archives”, from displaying at the top of the page. Right now, they display bellow the “Categories” section, and take up a tremendous amount of space before the actual posts bellow.

Thanks!!

Quick Question -

Contact Form: How to I edit the default text that appears inside the boxes : “Your Name”; “Your E-Mail Address”; “Message” ? I would like to change each of those.

I found reference to changing the “Send” text within the shortcodes.php file, but have not been able to change the text that appears in the other boxes.

Thanks a million

You can do that under Settings->Nostalgia Contact Form

I want to add that my previous note was NOT a criticism. I LOVE the beauty of your themes and want to see outside-the-box thinkers like you succeed. I know with time you will get there. 5 stars!

Thank you!

Observations (as someone who has purchased and implemented 20 or so themes from ThemeForest). First, you have a designer’s eye – Nostalgia, like your other themes, is beautiful. I was also able to set up most of the theme in about 20 minutes.

Challenges: Poor documentation and far too much custom coding is required for things that should be more easily added, edited, etc. A simple example: There are two obvious locations for a logo: the text box at bottom and the graphic cube up top. Neither is obvious and requiring HTML image source code is outdated. Also, there are no dimensions for proper scaling. Custom code should be for truly custom requirements, not logos.

I would urge you to test drive a really well documented and deployable theme like Karma, then try to mimic that with your own themes. You’d be a monster success if you did.

Ok, that’s my $.02. Good luck!

Thank you for your observations. We still working on that theme and there will be updates in the future (that with logo is ready, will be added soon). Your thoughts are usefull for us, it’s always good to hear client opinion and leads for improvements.

Hi there

Love the look of the theme and the great comments… one question before buying… does “fully customizable” mean that it is possible to remove the black graphic on the top corner of the pages? Is it possible to substitute that for my own logo?

Many thanks

Andrew

Yes, you can disable that graphic. If you would like to use your custom one, then you need to replace one of my graphics with your.

is there a easy quick way to get the audio to stop playing when clicking on video file?

Do you mean the audio from yourtube or vimeo video?

both! Just the music to stop playing once a video (youtube/vimeo) start playing…

Yes, of course. That’s a good idea. I’ve added that feature and I’ll provide an update later today. I’ll send you it to your email right away.

Hi there, love this theme, I’m currently building our company portfolio with it! Only issue I’m having at the moment is I can’t work out what order the portfolio items are displayed in their category. ie. in one category its showing the portfolio items as oldest to newest, and in another category newest to oldest…..its best if it shows newest in each category as its our most recent work…any ideas?

Kris

Hi,
Please open portfolio_post_type.php file and change line 210:

'order' => 'ASC'
to:
'order' => 'DESC'
You can also set custom order by setting order under Attributes box.

Hi, thanks for that, although it hasn’t changed anything, everything is still in the same order. Just seems weird that in on of my categories its in one order, and in another its the opposite order.

Kris

Did you try custom order by entering number values in order field under Attributes box?

hi i bought this wordpress! i am very fustrated! i like this alot but the portfolio categories are not working! please fix it i have a wedding shoot coming soon and people only see my portrait portfolio. i need to make various categories but its such a hustle i dont know how to even fix it. PLEASE HELP !!!!

Hi,
Which version are you using? The newest is 3.1, if you have older one, please redownload. After you add portfolio items (please note that you need to set featured image for each), please put on the page [nostalgia_portfolio] shortcode. If you would like to display categories, please use category attribute:

[nostalgia_portfolio category='image,video']
You can check how it’s set up by importing dummy content – video

hi there, thanks for the template. Well done!

1. In addition to urielsab´s question: Can it be done that the maincolor is menue-specific too? (each menue I click on, changes the maincolor of all items on the current page). It would be nice, if I could choose one spot color from the (one) corresponding backgroundimage.

2. Is it possible to add the categories description? (Each accordeon tab has it´s own description)

Hi,
Thank you!
1. You can set custom bg color for each page. Please take a look on Options box under page editor.
2. Where you would like to place the description? Could you provide some screenshot. Now it’s rather not possible, but I can help you to do that.

Thank you for the fast response! your hint for my first question works in my case close to 100%. But as you can see on the screenshot (http://www.tinouhle.com/screen.png) there´s still a problem with the logo ´cause it is a transperent .png and the div is defined by template background-color. Any ideas? Maybe I´m not the only one and maybe it´s an idea for a later update (rather nice2have)

The second point: I would like to have the description under the “photography / landscape” headline but before the gallery.

thanks!

You would like to hide the right part of the logo under the content or make content bg transparent? You can set transparency value under #nostalgia-tab-content in style.css file or for custom colors in header.php file. Just change 0.9 value in background-color:rgba(255,192,0,0.9);
About description you need to make some changes in portfolio_post_type.php file. You can add something in line 225 after h3 (that’s portfolio header).

Thank you, i mean not to random background for one menu, i want to assign one image for one menu, actually this image change when i click on one menu and return to previous menu.

That can’t be done. I’ll add such a feature maybe in one of the next updates.
