Hi,

I am looking to purchase the Cruz template for my football clubs website. I assume the drop down menus can be made to suit my needs? ie change the text and links etc, also if I make a change to the template where the menu sits it will change it on all of the website pages?

Thanks.

Hello holyportfc,

Thanks for browsing the theme. Since this is a WordPress theme, navigation menu can be managed from the admin area of WordPress. You can add or remove links, arrange them as drop down, etc.

Any change that you make to the links will reflect on entire site. If you have used WordPress before, you will get an idea how navigation menu works in it. :)

When Cruz Theme compatible with WooCommerce?

Hello karetgelang,

There are no recent plans for adding compatibility for WooCommerce. As I said before, kindly send me the site URL /Login, I will place appropriate CSS fixes to make it compatible. the mail which you sent right now doesn’t verify the purchase. Kindly send it from the account from which you purchased the theme.

Is Cruz theme compatible with WooCommerce page? because I can’t make full width at the Product Page

Hello karetgelang,

The theme isn’t compatible with woocommerce yet. However, we can set a full width page for products page using CSS override. Kindly send me your site URL (or URL of the actual product page) from my profile message box. Make sure you send message from the purchase account.

Hi! I think I might have solved the problem with the visualization on mobile devices (see my message above). Initially I had added the line <meta name="viewport" content="width = device-width" /> you suggested. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to work. So I removed that and also this other line of code from the header.php file: <meta name="viewport" content="width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0, maximum-scale = 1.0" />. I checked the theme on iPhone, iPad and on a smart phone using Android Os. Apparently everything is in its right place, now.

Hello gioghersi,

Thanks for sharing the solution. I’ve already removed that tag in recent version. It was added in last version and didn’t worked as expected. Due to lack of appropriate devices I’m not able to test it completely. But thanks for testing it out. It is very much appreciated.

Hi, quick question – I have a gallery set up on one of my pages. I want to make it so that when they click the thumbnail it goes to the relevant post. I don’t want it to load a larger image. I want the link on the thumbnail to do exactly the same thing as the link on the name does. Please see this link for an example: http://i.imgur.com/HVsCG.png

Can you tell me how to change the linking on the thumbnail to go to the post instead of load the large image?

Thanks! :)

Hello Daniel,

Those links are coded inside portfolio templates (port3.php, port4.php, port2.php, etc). For example, open port3.php file and look for the following code at around line no. 57:

<a data-rel="prettyPhoto[group1]" href="<?php echo $img; ?>">

Change this to:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

This will make the image link to permanent post. You can follow same procedure on other portfolio templates.

Hey guys, Im trying to link the thumbnails from a category page post straight to the post without the lightbox to zoom it. The thumbnail is in 4 column page. Can i disable this option to link straight? Is it possible on this theme? Thanks

Hello aldileo,

I think you are using the ‘port 4col wide’ Template. If so, open port4.php file in any code editor and look for the following code at around line no. 57:

<a data-rel="prettyPhoto[group1]" href="<?php echo $img; ?>">

Change this to:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

This will link images directly to the permanent post. If you find any difficulty, kindly drop me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com along with the template name you are using. I will send you the changed code.

Hello, I’m having problems with the theme visualization on mobile devices: it looks as if most part of the content under the “div.featured” is cut, leaving a small portion of the content box visible. In this empty area there is only the gray page background. This behavior has been reported on IPad (in vertical position), IPhone, Blackberry, and on some Android powered smartphones. Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hello gioghersi,

As you might be aware, this theme is not responsive. If you wish to have auto zoom support, you can add the following code inside header.php file, just above the title tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="width = device-width" />

This shall allow you to view full content according to the device width.

Dear Saurabh,

3 months ago I had some problems with malware keywords in my site. You have advised me to replace the timthumb.php script and the problem was fixed. Now the malware keywords have appeared again and after replacing the script again the problem still exists (check it at www.energylab.gr). Do you have any suggestions? The malware keywords appear just above the footer.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Dimitris

Hello Dimitris,

By ‘cache’ I meant the cruz/scripts/cache/ folder. I hope you have deleted and re-created that folder too. On other computers, may be they are still seeing the cached version. I have re-checked the site on my machine. even I do not see any such key words. I hope it is fixed now.

Regards

Dear Saurabh,

I am trying to solve the malicious keywords problem but I can’t. I have done everything that you said, but this time I had no success.

In my home computer, I see malware keywords. In my iPhone, I see malware keywords too, which is quite strange… BUT , from my office desktop and laptop, I see NO keywords at all. I even tried another laptop from my home and I see NO keywords there too. I have scanned my blog and has no infected items. I have also scanned my computer for malware, but it was clear too.

Please, I would be grateful if you could find me a solution.

Regards, Dimitris

Hello Dimitris,

I have re-checked the site in two computers and different browsers. I can only see one Google site verification meta tag that has a long string value. The keywords are blank.

I can’t be sure but may be is it possible that your local computers have virus in them? As you checked, the malicious code is not shown on any other system.

I have also checked the source code. There are not many plugins or suspicious code. If you want me to give it one try, kindly send me your FTP details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check if there is any such code/file on the server.

Hello, is the theme compatible with WPML Plugin? Thank you

Hello elvisio74,

Thanks for browsing the theme.

The theme supports language localization via .po and .mo files. I haven’t tested it with WPML , but the message strings are wrapped in language parsing functions __( ) and _e( ) properly. So, most of the message strings should be available for translation by the plugin.

I have emailed you for help!

I have just created a new website www.clivesteeper.com using this theme and put a slider on the home page. It works okay when looking at it in Mozilla but not in Explorer. ANy ideas please?

I am not very techy so i hope its a non- techy way to solove it.

Hello suestockdale,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

Right now I can not see slide images in any browser. The slider list is empty. Make sure you have provided the Category IDs for slider inside Appearance > Cruz Options > Slider. Also confirm that the provided category has some posts in it with featured image URL . If that doesn’t work, kindly send me your WP login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will fix it.

Hi, this theme has worked great for me. The site I used it on has been up and running without any troubles.

I have been asked to create a mobile version of the site. I have looked at a lot of plugins that are supposed to help you do this but I have found them all pretty cumbersome with mixed results.

Do you have a solution you would recommend for this theme.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello amyhale,

Thanks for your kind words and feedback.

It will be a bit difficult to make this theme responsive. There are some elements that do not support responsiveness. For example, Cycle and Nivo Slider. The grids are of fixed with and pixel based. (A percentage based grid works better for fluid layouts).

If you are good at CSS , it will be required to re-assign sizes to each and every section inside a responsive.css file. Next, this file can be called inside footer.php within a conditional query for mobile devices. To give an idea, this process will involve re-sizing images, column grids, removing floats, and re-positioning elements in a vertical stack order.

You can also try WP Touch plugin if that works. For elements that are not supported properly, you can discard them by using css display:none inside responsive.css. If you need help at any instance, feel free to drop me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Hello!

Fantastic theme! One question though! I have inserted some images on the home page just like on your demo (4 column) with foldify style. Is there a way to make them link to a page, not to the image itself?

Thanks!

Hello anda_th,

Thanks for your kind words.

Currently, you might be using the following code for folding image:

[frame src="url_of_source_image" width="204" height="160" style="foldify" linkstyle="pp" title="Image Title"]

Change this to:

[frame src="url_of_source_image" width="204" height="160" style="foldify" linkstyle="normal" linksto="url_of_page_to_be_linked" title="Image Title"]

i.e. change linkstyle to ‘normal’, and add a linksto parameter with value as URL of target page.

Regards

Thank you!

Hi, I would like to put a 1/3 box on the homepage with “latest posts” but not in the footer area. Is that possible? In place of where your “Flexible Layout Option” box is on your demo site.

Hello Ian,

A 1 /3 box can be inserted using [one_third] short code. But showing latest posts will need a custom short code. The theme comes with a “Latest Posts” widget that can only be used in widget areas—Sidebar or Footer.

You can drop me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will try if I can provide a short code snippet for latest posts.

Regards

First off, thanks for the theme – it’s perfect for what I need it for.

My question is, how do you set up the homepage exactly like your demo. The one area I’m having trouble in is getting a featured section at the top of the content (e.g. – your Flexible Layout, Authentic Features & Improved User Experience) and ALSO have the 4 blog posts below EXACTLY like you have it setup. I can get the blog posts to display in a horizontally wide fashion, but I want them to be able to fit 4 side by side.

Thanks for your help.

Hello aedeeley,

Thanks for the purchase and kind appreciation.

The Home page uses a full width page (by hiding sidebar). The Slider section is populated using posts from a specified category, whereas rest of the page content is created using short codes and plain content/markup.

For setting up the slider, kindly refer to your_download/documentation/index.html file’s section 7. Create Home Page Slider and Content.

For the page content (4 boxes, 3 boxes, etc), open cruz/dummy_data/home.txt file. Next copy and paste this content inside your Home Page in HTML mode. It will be required to replace images with your own ones. For any further help, feel free to ask here or drop me an email from my profile message box.

Hello,

my homepage slider doesn’t work after upgrading to WP3 .4

any advise ?

www.jazzcapital.com.my

Hello again,

The theme version is very old (1.0). The jquery.easing.min.js file used in that version is no longer supported by latest jquery. Inside header.php, look for the following code at around line no. 39:

wp_enqueue_script("jq-easing", $dir."/js/jquery.easing.min.js");

Delete this line and save the file. The slider should work. If it doesn’t, kindly send me your WP login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Regards

works awesome !

thanks !

Hello,

If I wanted to make the custom post options you have created available (so that they display) on a new type of post I am registering. What would I have to add in?

Is it in the ‘supports’ bit?

Kind regards, Christian

Hello Christian,

The Post Options panel will show only for standard ‘Posts’ and ‘Custom Post formats’, not for Custom post types. In order to create option panel for Custom Post Types, it will be required to add meta boxes in a separate file. For your reference, the post options are created using includes/post_options.php file. This file is included inside functions.php on top section.

You can create another such file for Custom Post types, and include it inside functions.php (similar to the post_options.php). I hope that will help.

Regards

Saurabh, I’m having some problems after updating to Wordpress 3.4 and using your latest version. When I create a (form) for a paypal button through a shortcode, the theme is inserting (br) between each field. Somehow it translates a new line into a (br). Any ideas How can I solve this?

Replace ( with <

Thanks!

Hello pacogarcia,

You can try by wrapping the short code within [raw] short code, as shown below:

[raw]
[your_paypal_shortcode]
[/raw]

This should execute the short code in normal way.

Regards

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Cheers

Hello,

I can’t seem to get the “read more” feature to work for the News/Blog page? It always shows the full article, do you have any advice for this?

Kind regards, Christian

Hello Christian,

It will be required to insert a <!--more--> quicktag inside the post content. This tag will divide the post content into an excerpt, and will place the read more button.

Regards
