Hi we create 670×305 large and 445×305 medium thumbnail images PNG -24 from photoshop. And we add them from thumbnail image at Portfolio section. However this template shows them different/resized dimension (for medium is 300×205, and for large is 300×136 with natural image dimension). The qualities of thumbnail photos are poor and the file path is like that; http://thesite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/image5-300x136.png

How can we fix this problem? Thank you,

The sizes are typing mistake reported just a few days ago, so they are already correct on demo but I’m not sure if also in the main package. Thanks for reporting.

When you go to media library, just after uploading image and just before pressing “Insert Image” button – please make sure that you choose LARGE IMAGE (full size image). Not the cropped version.

This should help!

Hi Flow, love the theme! Just one question; how would I display a particular category when the Portfolio page loads (instead of having all portfolio posts display)?

Thanks! Josh

Thank you :)

Homepage will display them all but on sub-pages you can use “Portfolio Page Template” and exclude some categories. If you wish to just display one then you need to exclude all other. Please check this: http://support.forcg.com/bb-templates/kakumei-flow/help/daisho/index.html#customizingPortfolio (at the bottom of that section there’s “Multiple Portfolios” section).

Hello,

Nice theme, I bought it ;)

Is it possible to nest bracket tag like that :

[content_block title="Title" icon="g"]
  [highlight] mark [/highlight] not mark
[/content_block]

It doesn’t work, “[highlight] mark [/highlight]” appears in plain text..

Thx

It should work. The only limitation should be:

[content_block title="Title" icon="g"]
  [content_block title="Title" icon="g"]nested shortcode[/content_block]
[/content_block]

Because WordPress skips any mechanisms to detect nested shortcodes for performance purposes. They keep shortcode engine as simple as possible.

So, theoretically, the nested shortcode you provided is valid and correct. Perhaps it works but the style is getting cleared later on, once the main shortcode uses some filters (to remove HTML in description or other). You can show me some example and I’ll let you know what happens.

Thank you for your kind words :)

Hi Flow,

Sorry I didn’t know that “bracket tag” was known as shortcode :)

I can give you as an example the nested shortcode I provided : highlight is not parsed correctly when it is embedded in content_block like that :

[content_block]
    [highlight][/highlight]
[/content_block]
Also, no other nested shortcode works with content_block.

So I RTFM and I found http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Nested_Shortcodes

It says that :
“The shortcode parser correctly deals with nested shortcode macros [...] by recursively calling do_shortcode()”.

I compared with your source code at daisho/framework/shortcodes/konzept-content-slide/konzept-content-slider.php and I noticed that do_shortcode() is not called on $content.

For debugging I fixed with the following and now it works :

$content=do_shortcode($content);

Is this correct ?

Many thx !

Yes. Everything you wrote is correct :)

You resolved this yourself but I hope I was at least somehow helpful, too! Have a great day!

I don’t see where to add the info for the Optional Top Bar and also, I don’t see a menu item description field under Appearance > Menus to add the icons for menu items.

Thanks a bunch! Didn’t know I needed to enable the description under Screen Options.

First of all this is a great design theme.

As I am not an expert in web sites I need your advice with some issues I faced after installing the theme:

1 Javascrip is not working properly anymore: It doesn’t allow me to manage the widget page (not even the menus “options” and “help” are responding). I can’t add links to text on a page content, activate sideboards or see the icons of each menu in the menu’s page. Is that a theme recurring issue? Note: I tried uninstalling all plugins, cleaning cache and nothing works. Do you know how can I solve this?

2 How can I add a right sidebar on the blog page? I created a new sidebar which I called “4” containing twitter widget, categories and tag clouds. I went to pages/blog and put right sidebar and selected sidebar 4. However when I updated it nothing happens. I would like this sidebar to appear on main blog page. In addition i would like to add an slightly different sidebar to post pages. How can I make sidebars work properly with this theme?

3 I would like to add social media buttons For each blog post (exactly like you did for the portfolio posts) on the top of the page. How can I do it?

I would appreciate detailed instructions as it’s the first time i am creating a site in wordpress and using this theme.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

1) Please activate Typography Plugin.

2) You can’t. 10 days ago we introduced left sidebar and right sidebar pages. Perhaps some of the future updates will contain more extensions.

3) You can’t. We recommend using third party plugins to do that. Why? Because they have fully customizable links, they support 200 social media services, the design they offer is usually universal, they will work with our blog structure, they offer multiple placements for icons and such plugins generally offer better functionality than anything we could come up with.

If you need more help – feel free to ask. Number 1 issue is definitely our fault but it doesn’t prevent you from using everything successfully (after activating plugin). I’m about to upload fix for that soon.

What’s wrong wiht the title ? It goes under the menu dropdown when I resize the browser

Which one? I just tested it and I can’t see title going beneath menu dropdown on any sub-pages (tested in Firefox).

I have the latest version and when I try to add services, the description does not seem to be converting:

(My Code: [content_block title=”Page Design” icon=”t” description=”Market Research”]Web and Mobile Page Design for Salons and Stylists[/content-block])

But description shows up like this: Web and Mobile Page Design for Salons and Stylists[/content-block]

and the description is not under the title

Please replace [/content-block] with [/content_block].

I see it, thanks. You should update your documentation. It has the code like that under section H.

You’re right! Already updated! I’m sorry for that typing mistake.

It has correct [/content_block] right next to the first one, I must have missed first instance somehow and I used dash instead. I’m sorry for inconvenience.

Hi Flow.

yep I’m running 1.04, will change to 1.05 www.jimandtonic.co.uk

What´s the shortcode for columns ont this theme? The Shortcode generator don´t make columns.

Thanks!

All columns are listed in documentation. There are many examples and I go over the same things multiple times to make it understandable for everyone – http://support.forcg.com/bb-templates/kakumei-flow/help/daisho/index.html#shortcodes

Feel free to contact me again if there’s something problematic with them.

Shortcode Generator lists only a few shortcodes in v1.0.5 – it’s fresh feature added just 10 days ago and we’re working on making more of them available there.

hi, is it possible to change the style of the portfolio grid to view the color first and on hover the images? Just a turnaround. thanks! max

You’ll need to modify CSS to achieve this. In admin panel you can have solid color thumbnail, image thumbnail, solid color + text or image + text and solid on mouse over. There are many options but the one you’re looking for is not available.

Hi Flow,

Getting there… Just looked at my site on a ipad. I tap once and it reveals the project name, but i can’t actually tap to go into the project.

No doubt this is my fault as I’ve seen your theme working fine.

Any ideas?

If you’re using v1.0.5 then single tap should open project straight away. Can I have some URL , please?

I am trying to download this theme on Wordpress and i keep getting this error:

The style.css stylesheet doesn’t contain a valid theme header.

Please help!!

Hello,

I am looking to achieve the same effect you have on demo site/section “Our Team” B&W photograph replaced by a color one.

This i would like to implement in portfolio slides:

instead of having background – color hover, I would like to replace that with an image.

P.s. love the theme

Thank you :) I’m glad that you like it. Let me know if this was helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvf2dcPfiHM (interesting moment starts at 3:00)

You should upload colored images and they will become B&W after Javascript processing. There is no way to load different image instead on mouse over.

Thank you for the video.

In order to change to B&W, i had to replace with a new image? different location?

No success i’m afraid.

what are the conditions for effect to work?

Cheers

You just place colored image in the shortcode from the video. Javascript will make it B&W. Documentation explains that in a little bit more detail.

It’s a great theme but I’m trying to customize it… i want to put a right sidebar with links and blog category in every blog article. can i ?

Thanks :) Sidebar pages were added just one week ago and they are available only for pages right now. So, adding sidebar to single post is not possible at this moment.

Wow, this is the best looking wordpress theme i’ve ever seen created, and i’ve been doing nothing but checking themeforest everyday the last 2 years . Will buy this tomorrow, so elegant, wow!

Thank you so much! :) I’m glad that you like it! And I hope that it will serve you well!

Hi,

Before buying. I bought a couple of themes earlier, where I had the problem with my webhost (hostmonster) that I get a 500 error when trying to activate the theme. I see someone else on Page3 in the comments had the same error. How were you able to help him? I contacted my host before and they couldnt do anything, so if it would be the same case with your theme I’d like to know beforehand. Thanks

500 errors depends purely on server and those are “general” errors, so it means that causes may vary. Those are hard to detect and resolve but generally your hosting provider should be the one who resolves them. If server admin can’t resolve that then perhaps their support is not good.

I recommend changing your hosting provider to some reliable one with good support. On hosting such as serwery.pl/nazwa.pl (that’s from my country) you will never encounter 500 error, upload size limit error and anything like that. And if you do – support will help you in 5 minutes (free chat, email, telephone support and this is good support – not some inexperienced students). Unfortunately, that service provider is not available in English.

But you get the idea… $4/mo hosting (from hostmonster) is most likely just like its price… it might be sufficient for most of the people but you should be prepared for problems.

In short the 500 error means that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request by the client. This might be wrongly configured .htaccess file, not sufficient permissions for files (CHMOD) or some general configuration issues in php.ini etc.

If you say that you encountered 500 errors before with other themes then the risk is HIGH in this case – but not because the theme is written incorrectly – it’s because this server may have general problems running WordPress, WordPress websites, WordPress plugins or some of their functions that would ordinarily work on other server. Resolving 500 error will not require changes to WordPress and theme files. It will surely require changes to server configuration.

We provide basic information about encountered issues but we will generally redirect you to server administrator if we are absolutely certain that this is the person responsible for fixing your issue. So, when you encounter 500 error our support will tell you what is most likely its cause but we will ask you to contact server administrator to resolve that because we do not have access to your server and it is required for us to re-configure your server.

If you wish, you can hire someone from our support to resolve your IT environment and server related problems – resolving such issue usually takes like 30-60 minutes.

I hope that everything is clear and it’s great that you’re asking about everything before purchase :)

Hi mister,

i have a little problem, when i go on line to my page : www.e-sysoft.fr/portfolio/ my page is not displayed and i have this message : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /homez.93/esysoft/www/portfolio/wp-content/themes/daisho/framework/admin/background-menu.php on line 1

Can you help me please ?

Is it possible to have the portfolio image launch a unique URL rather than the landing page slideshow in the demo?

Yes. See last demo thumbnail.

Hi Flow,

I’ve probably done something stupid, but it seems that on my porfolio page the link don’t go through to the correct projects. seems to choose random ones! www.jimandtonic.co.uk

I’m using 1.04

Please make sure that each one has at least 1 slide. It will work then :)

Hi Flow,

Is it possible to change the size font in portfolio thumbnails?

tks

Yes, you can do that using Firebug and “Custom CSS Code” field in admin panel under [Daisho > General]. Please try http://support.devatic.com/?page_id=7

Hi Flow,

When I did the last version update the portifolio show this message “You browser doesn’t support native upload. Try Firefox 3 or Safari 4.”

Actually I use Safari Version 5.1.7 . I need to do this down grade?

Sorry, but I don’t have this plugin and I can’t find in WP.

Where am I find this?

tks

It’s included in the Daisho package. In root folder (right after you unzip the package you downloaded).

tks tks it’s working! :)
