Hi, I’m very interested in purchasing this theme as an update from your Grenada theme.

Can you tell me what the transfer process will be like? Grenada uses the WP Bakery page builder, and Bauman uses Gutenberg.

If I upload this new theme, will it break all of my current portfolio items and pages? or will it be an easy swap to Gutenberg blocks?

My website is www.bichenodesigns.com

Thank you for the help

Hello. So to be as concise and as short as possible: Grenada portfolio is a different custom post type than Bauman’s so you will have to recreate them from scratch. However you can copy and paste the entire content using the classic editor. Most of the Bauman’s shortcodes are very similar to Grenada and they are mapped to WPBakery elements. So this will be an advantage. We recommend also installing the bauman wpbakery child theme to leverage ajax page transitions. Thanks

Great, thanks. If I do install this theme, what will happen to my existing portfolio pages? will they still exist as classic editor content for me to copy and move across? Or will I need to do all this copying work before installing and upgrading to Gutenberg?

and, what is the child theme? how does that work?

thank you for the help. I just want to confirm I won’t be breaking my site before I make such a large change

The portfolio items are visible as long as the Grenada Functionality Plugin is active. Same thing applies for the Bauman Functionality Plugin. The child theme is actually a theme that inherits most of the styles and properties from the parent theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/ Thanks

Hey,

One more mistake that will help main page with showcase load much faster with lazy swiper slides preoading.

File: showcase-page.php Syntax mistake (data-src – wrong attribute): data-src=”<?php echo esc_url( $bauman_hero_properties->image[‘url’] ); ?>”> Should be: data-background=”<?php echo esc_url( $bauman_hero_properties->image[‘url’] ); ?>”>

Source: https://swiperjs.com/api/#lazy

1) Add to scripts.js, var swiperOptions = { // Disable preloading of all images preloadImages: false, // Enable lazy loading lazy: { loadPrevNext: true, }

2) Add class swiper-lazy showcase-page.php to

Hello! I suggest you buy the theme and you can make the modifications – we can also help you, if needed. We may include some of the things you mentioned in our next update. Thanks

Hey,

There is no brainer to me buy it.

I love the style and creative ideas in your themes. They are really original, the only thing Im afraid is your desire to create new :D hehe

I try to tell you what does it mean and how I feel. There are new design ideas and technologies you learn and want to try them all ) But old products left without optimization, so they would be almost in the same state as realeased with minor styles modifications and small fixes.

I’m using Enfold, Divi, Avada themes for my clients. Yes, they are different sort. But they have constant development with new features. I dont ask you change something in your workflow, you do as you wish, its just my words.

For example, will you plan optimize scripts, implement lazy loading for better google PageSpeed rank and add new gutenberg blocks to old themes? I dont think so. But this dont make your themes bad :)

Thank you

Hi, i am considering this theme for an architect firm. In your demo clicking on a portfolio item, it goes to a showcase of that item (which is what the client wants to do eventually). Is it possible to disable this in the short term until we have content for each showcase/portfolio item?

Also, i am use to using page builders to edit and create extra pages, does this theme use a page builder or does it only use the Gutenburg build in builder? And could i take the portfolio page and add other content to it? for example, I might want to add some text content below it.

Yes, you can disable the showcase links with simple CSS instructions.

Gutenberg is the recommended editor because is AJAX friendly and you can use smooth like silk ajax page transitions. You can edit the portfolio pages as you would for a normal page.

Thanks

Hello,

I’m ready to purchase the theme, but I found some issues and I would like to get answer, will they be fixed or not?

1) Device: iPhone XS, Browser: Mobile Chrome

- Portfolio grid – images flashing, double appearing animation.

- Hero title position – when navigate from bottom project to next one, hero title jumps down, then again up, position needs to be fixed.

2) Device: PC, Browser: Firefox

- Social links title on hover gets half cut on top.

3) General

- Social links as Google reccomends: Add rel=”noopener” or rel=”noreferrer” to any external links to improve performance and prevent security vulnerabilities. https://web.dev/external-anchors-use-rel-noopener/

- Social links as Google reccomends: Add aria-label=”“

- Contact form 7 doesnt work as intended with ajax, it reload whole page, but it should work like here, there are script conflict or other errors: https://contactform7.com/why-isnt-my-ajax-contact-form-working-correctly/

Thank you

Hello,

Great theme, I managed to achive 98 mobile / 100 desktop in Google PageSpeed.

But there is one edit I applied in scripts.js: var companyImage has comments <!- Width and height of the marker -> Those comments should be removed, since JS minimizer can’t minimize without error with them.

Hope you will apply fix and keep theme updated like font awesome 5 and other features, don’t rush with amount of themes, but keep updated the existing ones with new features))

Thank you

Haha, ok once again thanks for the tip. As you probably noticed in terms of js code, only /js/scripts.js is not minified, the rest are pretty much minified versions of the libraries we are using.

Yes, only scripts.js is not minified, I think you did it to allow users edit it. With that small fix autoptimize plugin can minify it and merge all js files into one file to reduce server requests, all is working fine without errors.

That’s right. we will include this change in our next update.

I like your theme, the portfolio grid homepage. Is there a way to Hide the title? I think the title is taking too much attention or to make it smaller.. Please does it come with a builder?

Hi, Yes you can disable the title. You have this feature in page options. Also if you decide to keep it you can decrease the font size. Best regards

ok thank you….does it come with a page builder?

Hello, we recommend using Gutenberg editor which is AJAX friendly. Our demo content is built with Gutenberg. We did however map all of our shortcodes to WPBakery elements – but the plugin is not bundled in the theme. Thanks

Is there a way to change the color of the sidebar scroll for the site? I would like to make it lighter so its earlier to see.

Ok and what is the site url? do you have it somewhere online?

Yes! Is there an email I can send it to?

You can open a private ticket on clapat.ticksy.com and post it there. I need to inspect the page with the CSS code you entered. Thanks

Hi guys. Awesome work by the way! I’m wondering if you can help me out placing a video in a new portfolio item/showcase slide. I insert image and URL as requested with no positive result.Any tips? (I’ve been working with Vimeo.)

Hello, is it possible to send us the page urls containing the video and the showcase slide? Thanks

Hello, 1. the embedded video has a certain width and I can’t tell how you inserted it if you can open a private ticket on clapat.ticksy.com and provide wp admin access 2. in the showcase slider you need to add the urls to the self hosted videos mp4 and webm for the video portfolio item Thanks

Hi, Just about to purchase this but only 1 issue & a few design elements I’m hoping is achievable.

1. Issue: On the creative carousel portfolio view, everytime you hover from one project to another the cursor’s position resets and the cursor looks jumpy.

2. Design: Wondering if we can add some padding between each project? Maybe 100px left & right?

3. Wondering if we can make the project images larger? About double the size?

Thanks

Yes, we can help you

Can you please share the code for it?

I’d ideally like one image centered with an image to the left and right of the middle image partially showing

Plz open a private ticket on clapat.ticksy.com with your purchase code and also send us your site url. Thanks

Love the theme! Is there anyway to hide a project from the gallery page? I want a project to be Showcase in the slider but want to hide it on the portfolio page.

The fullscreen slider is implemented in showcase-page.php and the link is implemented here:
<?php 
if( bauman_get_theme_options('clapat_bauman_enable_ajax') ){ ?>
                                                    <a class="title hide-ball" data-type="page-transition" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                                                    <?php } else { ?>
                                                    </a><a class="title hide-ball" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                                                    <?php } ?>
                                                    <?php echo wp_kses_post( $bauman_hero_properties->caption_title ); ?>
                                                    </a>
you can check if the portfolio item has a certain ID using get_the_ID() function

Thanks

Could you tell me where to put this code please? I’m not sure I know what I’m doing with this.

The whole thing is the call to the_permalink() function. It has to be disabled if a post has a certain ID. You can use get_the_ID() function to retrieve the post id. And then if it matches do not include the element. It requires some PHP knowledge. Thanks

This is a very beautiful template. Really considering buying. Is it possible to have some kind of pagination at the portfolio grid in case there are more portfolio posts to show? Like what if there are more than 200 portfolio posts and can’t have an infinity scroll to footer area?

Hello, no we have this type of portfolio mixed: http://clapat.ro/themes/bauman-wordpress/mixed-portfolio/ Where you can set which portfolio items can be displayed as secondary items. Thanks

Just to clarify.. Is the Portfolio a Custom Post Type of this theme or is it using the default Portfolio function of WP where one can set how many posts to show per page? Portfolio and Setting Portfolio Projects Per Page https://wordpress.com/support/portfolios/

Hi there, it’s a custom post type.

Hi, compliments for the great work! I bought the theme and on my developing site, the High Column Carousel template is not showing properly. On fullscreen are shown 3 columns instead of 4, and keeps showing 1 column less (than your online demo) for each breakpoint. But the real matter is < 478px.

You can check what i’m talking about here: https://folio.lpdsgn.it/stuff/

Please help me understand what’s not proprerly going on.

Thank you

Edit: I found in the script.js how to manage the showcase @ line 1408. To fix the issue on mobile screen i hadded one more breakpoint like this: 0: { slidesPerView: 1, } Don’t now if it’s correct, but it works

Good graphic but doesn’t upload into the home page the portfolio :(

Thanks, but what exactly do you mean by this?

If you watch my homepage www.adb-architects.com you will see nothing. I got a problem to show my portfolio.

Right, the setup is actually quite easy. You create the portfolio items, assign images to them and they will be then displayed automatically in showcase, carousel or creative portfolio grids. These are page templates.

A good start is to import demo data so you can have a snapshot of our demo site and start customizing it from there.

Thanks

Bel tema l’ho acquistato da poco unico problema il menu quando clicco su una pagina non la carica…... perfavore aiutatemi!!

Hi, can you send us your site url? Thanks

Hi, looks great! :) I was wondering if it’s possible to remove the circle when clicking/hovering?

Both items are custom work. the first is custom CSS second a change in /js/scripts.js file

ok thanks for the info, will buy it. :)

Thank you, welcome on board.

Hello Dear how can I change the Portfolio URL from (bauman_portfolio) to only (portfolio)?

How can I make my logo larger? I need to change the ht&wt

Hello, you just need to specify the new height with custom css because the logo will try to cover the available width (width is auto)
#logo img {
    height: 40px;
}

increase the value of 40px. Thanks

Thanks! Were do I add this at? Sorry I’m still working on my coding skills.

I figured it out.

Hi , Great theme and the portfolio hover works great on touch devices which a lot of themes struggle with. Quick question , can you set the portfolio page on full screen to one gallery type e.g. “creative carousel” and the responsive mobile view to another , e.g.” high columns carousel ” thanks

Hello, i’m thinking you can use a plugin that redirects the home page on mobile devices. Thanks

Hi, I may discovered some bugs.

I’m testing a lot with Safari (MacBook Pro 2019) and here are my findings based on Smooth Scrolling turned off.

1) From performance point of view the animations are lagging during transitions or parallax. I mostly discovered this when I am viewing portfolio projects and start to scroll down. Especially when the hero images zooming in is not smooth.

2) End of each website there is a link targeting you to another page. If I press a link there is a flickering during the transition. Ajax is turned on.

3) The fullscreen slider (first page in your demo) is lagging during sliding. Especially the headlines lag during transitions.

4) Sometimes the fullscreen slider slides two times when you use your two fingers on the trackpad to slide.

Thank you.

Hi ClaPat team! I love your theme, you did an amazing work there! :)

I would have a pre-sale concern: I was wondering how easily it would be to adapt it / modify it? Does it have many theme options available?

Instead of asking you tons of questions, may you would have a technical documentation to share?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello, Here is the link to the documentation: http://clapat.ro/themes/bauman/documentation/

You have to keep in mind though that Bauman is a minimal theme, not multipurpose. Thanks

Thank you so much for your quick feedback and doc! It answers to several questions!

Just to confirm: can social media icons can be displayed directly (without clicking on ‘Follow us’? Same for menu: can full be displayed on top without having to click on ‘Menu’ – direct access to different pages?

Thank you so much ClaPat!

Hello, on desktop res it’s on hover whereas on mobile devices it’s displayed without the Follow Us text. Thanks
