Great Theme!

I have a question. I would like to use the slider that is on the services page on the home page.

How do I do this?

Thank you :)

Unfortunately, the only way to do this would be to move its script to index.php. It’s stand-alone page template (module) that can’t be incorporated anywhere else (except single page) without custom modification.

Amazing Theme, Just a question.. on the team page, how do I display only two team members, half and half of the page. Instead of the three with the slider or only two but there is still a third of the page blank. Thanks!

here is the page im talking about http://ibxmediagroup.com/2.0/our-team

Well, there is technical limitation – that page template requires at least 3-4 images to work correctly.

If you only have two members then better solution would be to go with regular static page. There will be no fancy hover effect but at least it will be presented in clean and correct manner.

If you’d like to keep that carousel then you need to find some way to display at least 4 images – perhaps duplicate them or put something else in between? Like additional description without images? Or images of something funny in between?

Well, I’m leaving finding some creative approach to resolve this issue to you – now you know what technical limitation is there. It wouldn’t look good if it was that wide with 2 columns (images would be centered and narrower than columns – I hope you understand why we’re starting with 3 columns).

Totally understand thank you! We have found a work around!

Hi, I’m a web developer and the client I’m working for owns thistheme. I have to admit this is a pretty awesome theme ( I may buy this theme for my self soon); however, I was working on the portfolio section and came across a problem. Each time I edit a portfolio post, such as changing the thumbnail’s hover color (or highlight) of the thumbnail, and etc, I select update. The system then tells me the post has been updated, but I recheck the settings and it seems like the settings reset to their default (settings from the demo sql dump). Changes within the portfolio page itself has not been made.

May you please tell me how to solve this problem ?

Thank you for your kind words :)

Hello again, Flow.

I hired a freelancer to translate and insert Facebook comments, but I’m really interested in upgrading the template to this new version, mostly because of the possibility to link non-portfolio pages in the main grid. Is there a way to update it without losing the translation?

If theme files were altered then the answer would be no. Please check this for more information about custom modifications and updating: http://support.forcg.com/bb-templates/kakumei-flow/help/daisho/index.html#customModifications

Basically, you can only alter style and if you’re planning to change general structure of files then the only option would be to duplicate one of the theme files and add your modification there rather than in original file.

Since, you only added Facebook comments it should be relatively easy to update theme and move the modification to the new version. It’s worth updating to v1.0.5 because of other useful features and yet another version should contain even more additional features :)

Anyway, v1.0.4, v1.0.5 and v1.0.6 should be all stable versions without any major bug fixes so the only difference between those is amount of features (shortcodes, options etc.).

Hi Flow, I just updated the v1.5, but the site is very slowly and version on style.css still 1.4.

Just updated package to make it say v1.0.5. I’m sorry for that typing mistake.

The new v1.0.5 has been actually optimized and it has 10 heavy scripts less but on the other hand new scripts have been added to extend functionality (shortcodes).

I can take a look at your website and measure its loading speed and tell you what causes slowdowns if they are really present.

New Problems. Portfolio Categories not showing up or disappearing.

I have 2 portfolio pages. I’ve been having a problem of portfolio categories not showing up when I need to exclude them from being shown. I ignored it for a while, but now it’s a problem.

The categories are created with items in them, but in the section to exclude them from showing, nothing shows. Just blank spaces where some categories should be.

Even when I try to exclude the blank spaces, it still won’t exclude the categories.

The other problem is I just recently added a blog page, and had at least 15 portfolio items AND their categories disappear. Gone. I didn’t delete them. They aren’t in the trash. I had to recreate each of them.

Is there an issue with categories that is preventing them from functioning normally or showing up in the editor?

“I’ve been having a problem of portfolio categories not showing up when I need to exclude”
http://support.forcg.com/bb-templates/kakumei-flow/help/daisho/index.html#customizingPortfolio (scroll down to “Multiple Portfolio Pages, clause (3)). I’m giving you a link to full instructions I prepared just in case :)


“Is there an issue with categories that is preventing them from functioning normally or showing up in the editor?”
Nope. As long as you have at least a few portfolio categories and EACH ONE has at least 1 post inside it should be working correctly. I can take a look at that if you wish. Please create support ticket on our forum. I’m sure it’s all related do admin panel configuration and can be quickly resolved.

OK, will do. Thanks.

hi, i would like to ask if the portfolio items support video, and if its possible to have more than one video per portfolio item. miro

Yes. YouTube, Vimeo, HTML5 videos are supported and there can be more than one :)

Hello Flow. I would like to know if there is a way to “turn off” the responsive feature of the template. Urgently thank you.

Delete or comment out viewport meta tags in header.php at the top (for iPhone it’s set to like 750px and iPad like 1024px?).

Or better: adjust them to your needs. For instance currently iPhone displays it at 750px which is already responsive but if you change it to let’s say 1024px – it will display standard PC/Mac version.

I hope that helps :)

Hello, I really like this template but I need to know if I can use the portfolio page as a blog ? There is any limitation of the number of “work” in the portfolio page?

Thank you for you answer!!!

Thank you :)

Option to link thumbnails to external URLs (like blog posts) will appear in v1.0.5 (coming thing week). You will be able to do it manually.

OK…so I can use the template’s portfolio for the blog if I switch the template.php for each ?

Last question: Could I add a sidebar? or I have to do it manually?

Maaaaany thanks.

Sidebar pages are available for a week or two. Sidebar template in not available for blog.

You can link thumbnails to blog posts but you can’t link blog posts to projects.

I hope that answers your question :)

Hey, Flow!

Great theme, but it seems the portofolio is not working properly on ipad? If i click on a thumbnail in the portofolio, it only opens a different portofolio item than the one i clicked on?

Thanks :) That’s correct behavior. Each project needs at least 1 slide – it will be ok then.

Hey Flow! Thanks for the answer.

What do you mean by slide? As far as i can see – every thumbnail in the portofolio has allready a slide?

In SuperSlide editor you need to add either 1 image or 1 video to have “slide”. It’s just project image. Not thumbnail but image that appears upon clicking on thumbnail. Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmgQR2oZ9qk (please add 1 slide like that via Drag&drop or icon).

Hi, Your Theme is amazing. I have a quick question before I can purchase it as I have a few needs.

I would like to add more text on the homepage than what Ive seen on the examples or the live preview so Im not sure if its possible.

On the Live preview there is a paragraph Delivering immersive user experiences for the new media realm

How long can I make that part and would it be possible to have another similar paragraph under all the boxes?

Thank you!!

That part can have unlimited length. Just keep in mind that making it too long will cause it to take full space on small screens (like 1366px laptops). You can make font smaller if you wish.

You can add similar one below works by modifying template file slightly. It’s easy change.

You can test both before purchase using Firebug for Firefox or other similar tool (like built-in “Inspect Element” in Chrome or Safari).

Hi Flow,

I would like to hide the portfolio menu (“All Work”) in the homepage is it possible?

Hi Flow,

I really to try, but doesn’t work! I did everything that you told me but the “ALL WORK ” still there.

I need to modify this or hide or change the color #00A4A7 to #00BFFF.

Look my site: http://www.townlifttransportation.com/ I did a lot of CSS change, but I couldn’t find how to do this.

Can you help me please?

tks

Hmm, I think I recommended adding it display: none;, right? So, the code would be #filters { display: none!important; } at the end of style.css. Important is just to ensure it won’t be overwritten by anything.

Tks tks tks It’s working!

Thanks for the quick reply, so im about to create a new page, like you have about us on the demo and add the search feature? Thanks

I need more details to answer your question. Where is that page, what are you trying to add, how and where. And what are the problems you’re encountering if any? In other words – do you need my help with anything :)

Hi Flow,

Sorry for my all question. I would like to change the color of select item. Do you the box with round corner in main menu and portifolio ? I can’t find in the style.css. Can you help me?

tks

“I would like to change the color of select item.” – you mean in menu? Well, I think you need to contact third party developer because that’s the only way to have custom modifications like this done.

Please understand that it’s more than just a line of CSS code (we actually dynamically add CSS classes and/or styles using jQuery, so that’s why you can’t find it and that’s why :hover doesn’t change anything in Firebug).

It would be hard to explain what part of code is responsible for which part of menu. Even if it seems like it’s one rounded background color, there are in fact a few for different types of menu (compact, normal) and there are a few exceptions that you will need to consider. I’m unable to explain you that – you need to see and understand yourself to get an idea :)

The easiest you can do is to go to style.css and light.css and replace all blue colors with your color by Find/Replace in your Notepad. The color that you need to replace is exactly: #00A4A7 (please replace only for everything that have #menu as selector or similar selector).

I hope I helped at least somehow but really – you need to understand that yourself to efficiently update styles or ask third party developer for explanation or changes. Alternatively, it’s good to use Firebug or provide us code that you tried to modify but failed on support forum. We’ll guide you. Thanks!

Ok, Tks Flow. I will try!

Just ask another thing, Do you the date to the launch for the next version?

It’s working! Thank you one more time!

Hi Flow, Do you have a recommended way for the images on the portfolio page (homepage) to link to a create page inside the site (like About Us)?

tks

This feature will come in the nearest update. Will you wait a few days or you need it quicker? It’s already done on demo server (check last thumbnail on front page).

I can wait! tks!

After looking at the demo, i’m in love with that search feature. Is there a way to create a single page and include the search/back. Or if it’s complicated I would be willing to pay. Thanks

Thank you! I’m happy to read that :)

Search is available on the following pages: blog, single post, archive, search page. Search is almost stand-alone module so you can move it to other pages.

Hey Flow, I have this problem: The menu is not being displayed :( I tried to create a page with the contact template, for example, and it didn’t work. Can you help me?

I read some posts in your forum but I didn’t understand what i have to do. Can you make me a “step by step”?

Sorry about my English, i’m brazilian. Tks :)

Please check documentation and especially installation video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvf2dcPfiHM

Those two should be enough :) Both explain how to attach menu.

tkssssssss =)

Hi Flow, I want to update the version 1.0.2 to 1.0.4. What I need to do?

1) Re-download from “Downloads” tab on Themeforest.

2) Unzip, find daisho.zip inside.

3) Unzip again, login to your server, find “daisho” directory in your WordPress (wp-content/themes/daisho/).

4) Replace all the current files with new ones. Please keep in mind that you can’t use Filezilla or you need to disable file compression in it. Please use Total Commander instead.

5) Please don’t replace /includes/ folder if possible. It may contain images you have uploaded via Drag&Drop. Location for storage of that images has changed in v1.0.4 for better one.

That’s all :) I hope I helped.

Tks Flow! Theme Updated!

hi flow, i need to add a slide show with this thime. is that possible inside portfolio..not just photos..wana have small slide show.

Where would you like to have this small slideshow? How is it supposed to look like? Is it something you see on demo but can’t make to work?

Let me know and I’ll help you! I just need a few more details.

Is it simple to change the teal to a different color if I purchase this theme? Thanks!

Yes. In style.css you can run find/replace function. It’s rather easy and we can guide you through changes like that. Some basics of CSS knowledge are welcomed :) Next update will contain some more admin panel customization options.
