Hi flow, Daisho is a great theme. We updated wordpress to version 3.4.1 and the Daisho theme to version 1.0.5 and now the system to add portfolio item seems to be broken. I attached a screenshot of it. I try to upload and to choose rollovers colors on firefor, chrome and safari (all latest versions) but it won’t work. http://monolithmtl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Capture-d’écran-2012-08-08-à-11.33.04.png

Thank you :) Please upload and activate Typography plugin – it’s required. It’s attached in the package.

No worries, I’ve just installed 1.04 for the time being.

V1.0.5 has a lot of improvements compared to v1.0.4 but I’m preparing v1.0.6 today with even more features and options :)

You will be able to easily update from v1.0.4 to v1.0.6 later on if you won’t modify theme files (please do all the modifications according to documentation recommendations if you’re planning any).

Hi Flow,

Having problems with 1.05. Once the theme is install it seems to be making the jquery menus on the dashboard and surrounding menus not operate probably. I’m using wordpress 3.4.1. When I deactivate the theme, everything goes back to normal. Any ideas

Please activate Typography Plugin – it’s required.

In fact, it’s our fault/mistake that theme doesn’t work without plugin but it doesn’t prevent you from successfully using the theme and plugin (when activated together). I’m already working on fix to enable everyone to use them separately, too. Thank you for reporting!

.. Nothing ..

Hmm, do you need my help with anything? Or you just wrote something and removed comment? Just want to make sure :)

Hi I have a problem in the portfolio project settings? You can see more detail in Section link …

ewt Version: 1.0 olarak gözüküyor bu sorunu nas?l çözebilirim?

Please just go to “Downloads” tab on themeforest using the account you used to purchase Daisho (the one with “purchaser” badge) and re-download it :) V1.0 is very old and A LOT has changed since then. You need to definitely update.

Just one more: I change the font size of extended-blog title, extended-blog content, extended-blog-single title but I can’t find the font size of extended-blog-single content to change. Can you guide me? http://www.townlifttransportation.com/2012/07/29/pinecone-trail-gem-of-the-wasatch/

It should be .extended-blog-single-container (main content font of single blog post page).

tks it’s working!! ;)

Hi Flow, My blog page it’s a little bit unconfigured http://www.townlifttransportation.com/blog/ What I need do to setup this? tks

Some larger thumbnails are recommended and besides that the layout seems to be the same like on demo. Style is different but perhaps only because you’ve decided to change some colors etc.

ok, tks!

Hi, what is the best way to update the theme? Thanks

If you haven’t made any modifications to HTML structure and PHP scripts then you can just remove files and upload new ones. Please note that some images you’re using might be stored in /includes/ folder so it’s best not to update it at all.

thanks for the quick response!

Hi Flow,

Struggling with vimeo. Firefox isn’t scaling the videos properly. Chrome is leaving 10 pix top and bottom. Eg: http://jimandtonic.co.uk/portfolio/shinninglittlema/

any ideas?

Cheers

Can I have some screenshot, please? For me it displays like casual video (like on demo).

Hi there! I am Intern Bill from Web Courses Bangkok. I really love this Daisho theme. Recently we have created this website called Youth Lead using Daisho theme. Here is the link: http://youth-lead.org/. Unfortunately we are facing some problems for a now. It doesn’t display in Mozilla Firefox and Top Drop Down Bar in Internet explorer is covering its navigation menu. Could you please help us to get rid of these problems.

Regards

Bill

Thank you for your kind words :) I’m glad that you like it.

It displays fine in Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1/Windows 7 for me. To resolve IE9 issue, please update to v1.0.5. You’re using v1.0.2 right now. Perhaps it will resolve more issues.

I am having trouble changing the color scheme in its entirety. I have managed to change the selected color for the main menu, the social media icons at the bottom footer, and one or two other things. After doing a complete locate/replace of the blue color for the style.css and the light.css I am still getting the blue color for the send button hover of the contact form, as well as the rounded block of blue surrounding the selected menu for the portfolio : All items – Web Design – Social – Print.

I have searched through every corner of the CSS and I cannot manage to replace it!!! Please help!!

We are loving the theme so far!

Thank you for your kind words :)

Please let me know what is your URL . I’ll provide you CSS selectors then and their files. Some CSS is modular – it’s not located in main style.css. For instance such file is framework/shortcodes/daisho-isotype/style.css (there you’ll find one of the style files you’re looking for).

Firebug indicates which file contains style rules you’re looking for when you do “inspect element”.

Please disregard my last comment to you, Flow. I found the database table that holds the Thumbnail_hover color.

Thank you very much for helping me out with this development.

I’m a little bit scared when reading your comment :P Please try to use get_post_meta() and other functions to operate on database rather than altering them using PHPMyAdmin or other tools.

Hi again, Flow !

This is going to be the last time I will ask you a question. Lol. I apologize. I was wondering, what exactly is the name of the database table that holds the portfolio’s thumbnail_hover colors ?

Greatly looking forwards to your reply !

It should be stored in wp_options. I’m not sure but it’s stored there where all post options go (custom fields). You’ll need to browse database to find it or check WordPress documentation.

Project images on home page still do not link to the right project after 1.0.5 update. Need help.

Each project requires at least 1 slide to link correctly (in all versions).

Hi Flow,

Thank you for your response I will look into it. Just 2 more questions, on the blog, where is the “author name” located? I have several copywriters and I need to give them credit for the articles that they write.

2. Is there a way to disable the mobile feature and ipad feature? I would like the site to display the same as it does on a computer.

Thank you in advance

Author name isn’t displayed anywhere. You can add that in single.php.

You can disable mobile and iPad by going to header.php any by adjusting “viewport” meta tag from around 750px and around 1000px to let’s say 1600px. This way it will display like on 1600px screen on mobile devices and iPad.

I hope that helps!

Hi flow !

This is for a client of mine who owns your theme, and I’m currently modifying it for his company’s needs. How to change the hover color of each portfolio image within the portfolio page (not through Wordpress admin area)? Is there a way I can code in (via CSS ) a default hover color for all thumbnails ?

I will greatly appreciate a response. :)

If you investigate containers structure you’ll notice which div is responsible to giving it hover color – then you can simply replace PHP call to get color from database with some hard-coded color in index.php, template-portfolio.php and single-portfolio.php. Those are files where thumbnails are created.

My recommendation would be to leverage CSS and put something that overwrites this color in [Daisho > General > Custom CSS ] if you’re planning to update the theme later on.

I hope that helps!

Okay. I will try it out.

Thank You very much for your reply Flow. I appreciate it !

On the portfolio

The fields are DATE CLIENT AGENCY OUR ROLE

I would like to add 1 or 2 more where can I find this?

Thank you… BTW , this has to be the best theme I have seen!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

Adding those fields may be unfortunately a bit tricky. First, you need to register new admin panel fields in framework/admin/meta-boxes.php (that should be easy because you can follow the pattern). Then you can load data from your newly created fields in index.php, template-portfolio.php and single-portfolio.php – it requires a bit of PHP knowledge but entire modification shouldn’t take more than about 1h.

I hope that my explanations are helpful :) Once again, thanks!

Hi Flow,

Just a curiosity. Can you tell me how you did the search form on the live demo’s Blog page? I can see the use of ‘display: none’ when I inspect the element in Chrome. What are you using to toggle between ‘none’ and ‘block’? Is it just a little JavaScript?

Yes, it’s just a click() function or something similar :)

Ah! I thought so. Very cool. I love the idea of doing more interesting things with search forms, so good job on that. :) Thanks!
