On the first problem with the slider transition times I got it figured out (it was a cache problem).

hello, I bought your theme and installed this morning. For the most part everything has went very well.

I have a couple of bugs to report.

First in Safari (at least version 6.0) the slider does not obey the set time and animation rules set in the TiePanel. You can see what I’m talking about at my site http://t3kd.com . The slide duration is set to 7000 but some slides advance faster than others. Seems to only happen in safari.

second, for some very odd reason ever time the slider changes to a new slide the text under the recent posts module (the titles of the posts) blinks. It dims and then goes back to normal once the slide has transitioned. This happens at least in both Safari and Chrome on the Mac. Haven’t tested it elsewhere. (again you can see this on my site)

Also, when in portrait mode on an iPad, the menu should go to the dropdown if there are too many menu items. Otherwise it looks like this: http://cl.ly/image/3e3P0s1I1G31

Theme does not function well with Livefyre comments. Works fine with Disqus though, so not a big deal.

Hi T3KD ,

- can You send me your site link to check second problem ? - I will fixed the menus bug on ipad in next version after few days

H tested it with safari 5.1.7 on windows and it is fine !

Hello mo3aser,

congratulations, your theme is really nice.

According you, is possible improve the SEO functions of theme? It seems, that there isn’t H1 on the Homepage, it is very useful for the indexed on search engines.

And, don’t you believe that is better assign H4 (instead H3) on Widget Title’s?

I saw that post-titles in the news block, has already the h3. In this way, when an user write a post, can use in the text H2 or H3 for paragraph.

In the Homepage, perhaps, a good idea, can be that to assign the H1 at the Category-Titles; What do you think?

Thank you and good luck with the theme, Regards

Hello . thank you webhostingmagazine , do you suggest adding h1 to all posts titles in homepage ? and h2 for categories titles and h4 for widgets title ?

Sincerely, I have different ideas, three:

1) H1 for the post in slider, H2 for categories titles, H3 as you setup, H4 for widgets title, h5 for recent/popular post widgets.

2) H1 for categories titles, h2 for featured posts inside the blocks (as you setup), h3 for the other posts titles (as you setup), h4 for widgets titles, h5 for recent/popular post widgets.

3) Another solution, is that to create a new block/container under the slider, with the name of the blog (with H1 tag), and a short description. Below, the rest of layout.

Similar on this theme: www.creativitypro.com

“Learn How to Become an Artist!” -> H1 tag + Description

or on my blog: www.webhostingmagazine.it

“Recensioni, Guide & Offerte Hosting” -> H1 tag + Description

I can assure that this configuration, has really good results with seo and indexing on search engines. I advice to use as H1 the keywords relative at your site.

Example, if your site is called techmagazine.com you could use:

“Tecnology Portal, News & Tutorials”

...and a short description

These suggestion are for the Homepage.

For single_post is good use H1 for title, leave H2 and H3 to use in the content of article, and set H4 and H5 as I explained above.

*Another suggestion for your beatiful theme, is that to add the social network buttons, in the category page, near every posts.

Social Network buttons are really important today, and can boost the traffic and popularity of a website.

Here an example of my suggestion:

http://www.momizat.net/theme/goodnews3/fixed/category/travel/

or

mashable.com | near each posts on the Homepage

My words are only suggestions, which I hope can help you improve your theme, and according your seo experience, and maybe even the opinions of other users, optimize again your theme where possible.

Regards ;)

Thank You very mush webhostingmagazine for your help :)

Hello,

I’m currently moving a site from Joomla to WP and using your great template :). I was wondering if you have (or going to have) a support forum? This comment page is nice but not really design for support right ? :)

As I’m doing this migration, I also installed All-in-One Event Calendar (by Timely). I realize that there is some kind of conflict as at the moment you activate the plugin, all Sahida widgets doesn’t work anymore on other page than the homepage. Don’t yet know why, bu it was worthy to share it :)

Cheers and continue this good work!

Hi, yes It’s because of Tooltip class conflicting… for now we can remove all-in-one event tooltip class .. go to themes-ai1ec folder then vortex and edit style.css file and go to line 1502 and remove .tooltip class or add the plugin div container class before it

Thanks it worked like a charm. Only one last css conflict with their widget on the main page, their widget does not “fit” in the widget box. Have a look still on the same webpage (demo.yamabushi.ch) I’m kind of lost to find the soluton :).

I’m currently translating the template to French, if you didn’t received yet a French translation I can to send it to you

Hi, just add this code to the custom css in styling options tab
.widget-container {
       overflow: hidden;
}
about french translating that is welcome ;) send me po file with your name and site link

Hi, After installing the theme, the characters panel does not recognize accents. In config.php file is set define (‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); your theme uses another code? How to solve this too?

Hi ,

No it is utf8 .. there are any errors message appear ? can I get your site link to check the problem ? ..

Hello! for me it would be a fantastic layout like this:

http://demo.studiopress.com/news/layouts/scs/

sidebar / content / sidebar

if I did I would use your theme on all of my three sites. I am still waiting to buy the upgrade! :)

Hello teotindo , I think it will not be a part of the next version .. may be in version later.

----— Suggestion

Friend, Suggestion for the next version of the theme: Create two buttons RESET 1) ALL RESET THEME OPTIONS , with alert message: This will reset ALL theme options 2) RESET SETTINGS (off current page)

I configured several options and clicking reset button, thought it would be only the current page, but all options resetou theme.

I’m testing the beautiful theme, congratulations.

thank for Suggestion , any more Suggestions are welcome :)

Hi When you activate the theme showed a message at the top of the control panel:

Warning: curl_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/dioce3br/html/www/site/wp-content/themes/sahifa/panel/notifier/update-notifier.php on line 107

What should you do? Thanks.

Hi ,

Please upgrade your Wordpress to latest version .

This WP 3 .4.1 installed, reinstalled, but the msg above the control panel WP continues.

Hi, this message because curl_exec() function is disabled in your server .. I will hide this message in next version

Hi! Great theme thanks! one question… I’m having trouble with the slider, I’m following exactly what the documentation says but no matter what I do, the slider won’t show up. Is there an specific image size that I should use? one more thing I do not see the option to add custom images to it, just WordPress post… is there a way to do it? Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks!! is working fine now!!! do you have a release date for version 1.2?? thanks again for your help and for this awesome theme!!!

next weak .. update notification will appear in your Wordpress dashboard :)

Hi,

great theme, some questions before:

1) will you add the standards tabs, toggles, content sliders?

2) and perhaps an accordion slider, too?

3) do you offer a support forum, because so many comments at Themeforest are not searchable?

Thanks.

Hi, 1- check her shortcodes for tabs and toggles content http://themes.tielabs.com/sahifa/?page_id=102 2- for now there are two slider flexi and elastic slider 3- Soon I will offer support forum

Hi, Congratulations on the theme. I want to buy. I have questions: 1) It has translated to Portuguese, Brazil? 2) You can use another plugin to highlight news on the home page? 3) It has to do a test with your theme on my site? 4) In the header, how to use a full picture and not just a small picture with logo? I await contact, thanks.

Hi MauricioTab, 1- for now the it is not translated to Portuguese and Brazil but translating very easy . 2- “You can use another plugin to highlight news on the home page?” what plugin ? 3- You can Upload logo with any size in header from theme panel

Hello great themes, with some adjustments have already implemented and running on our site http://www.fanaticosdelrally.com On this I wanted to comment that when you insert youtube videos as url, these are very large and outside the framework of the column. http://www.fanaticosdelrally.com/2012/08/22/martin-prokop-se-prepara-para-alemania-video/ . Another thing is how to center the ads inserted with the module on the homepage. Also the buttons on twitter, facebook, etc at the end of the post does not show complete totals shared. And finally after installing the themes when searching content in the Gallery, the result is always nothing now. Thanks!

Hello isercom , - For youtube embed .. Please got to dashboard > settings > media and in the Embeds section set the width to 620

- To center the hompage ads .. add this code to custom css field in styling section in tiepanel ..
.home-ads div{margin: 0 auto !important;}
- About facebook / twitter share buttons may be it used a post URL schema different the old schema used in your previous theme . - ‘searching content in the Gallery’ sorry but not understand that .

The buttons of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, as shown in the image in the case of facebook … as can be left to display the full boxes of quantities?

hello mo3aser!

if i buy the theme right now, when the updated theme comes out i will be able to update my website without loosing the current content/page config ?

hello pxpm. yes you just replacing theme files with new … and you will not loosing any settings or content .

Hi,

thanks for all of your help. I have one more problem….

I can’t get a feed for Feedburner. Every time I try to set one up, it says

The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Unknown feed format encountered (The root element is [Element: <html [Namespace: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml]/>])

No, the images upload just fine – they’re visible in the media library, but your Tie panel isn’t attaching them to anything. Your attitude toward a paying customer is inexcusable.

That said, I really like the theme otherwise so I’ve decided to work around it by replacing your images with my own via FTP .

I’ve encountered another problem. In the Typography section, you have two slots for changing the H3 header fonts, but no h2. I want to change H2, and I tried both the H3 slots in case one of them was actually coded to H2 and it was just a typo in the panel. Neither of them change H2. I assume that’s something you’ll need to fix in an update, but in the meantime, do you know of a workaround? I added a class to the custom CSS box, but it didn’t help.

Ok .. I am doing my best to help every one here .. I am appreciate for everyone phrased my theme . so let us work on your problems and if there are any bug I will fix it in the next version . please give me your site link or send it to my email { fouad [at] mo3aser [dot] com }

Where should I add my own custom functions?

// Fantastic theme by the way!

Thanks Flynnsworth,

for now there isn’t a separated file to add custom php function .. I will add it in the next version which will released after some days

...and more than 100 very similar themes have worked just fine for me over the years. There is definitely something wrong, and you made no offer of support. Maybe if you had, you would have discovered the problem and fixed it, and we’d all have been happy. But you just ignored my problem. I made sure to mention that in my ticket to Envato.

ETA : I spent 4 HOURS trying to get your theme to work yesterday. It’s not like I didn’t make an effort.

ETA2 : I just tested it in another hosting environment. It still won’t accept the custom logo. I’ve followed the instructions exactly, and also tried other things, and it just does not work. Maybe the other 100 people just used the text option, or gave up and replaced the file it DOES accept with their logo.

Uploading Custom Logo or favicon depends on the Wp media Uploader so if you can’t upload logo you can’t upload any thing to your posts .. and I don’t thinks any one will gave up with problem like this ..

any way I think there are 119 else user Happy with my theme .

good luck

Hello Mo3aser, I am very willing to buy the theme, is really well done. The theme is SEO compatible? When the problem is resolved with Jetpack? I’m going to buy it as soon as possible but must be solved the problem with Jetpack and must be SEO compatible. Thank you for your time! Good Sales!

Thanks for the reply! When will you release the next version? I’m going to take the theme immediately after the new update.

I am work in it .. and it will be available next week

Thank you again! I wait for the next release! Good work!

No response? Okay, I’ll ask Envato for a refund.

This theme does NOT work, everyone. It will not accept a new header image or favicon. It also requires a folder to be set to CHMOD 777 , which is an insecure practice that’s inviting hackers to harm your site.

Theme work fine for more 100 user :) cache folder require Chmod 777 when you wan’t use Timthumb and that is option you can use built in wp resizing functionality ..

good luck

Hi there,

Your theme looks awesome in the demo.

However, I tried installing it and got a blank page only.. Firebug tells me the following:

“The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must to be declared in the document or in the transfer protocol.”

I’m not a code wizard, what went wrong?

Hi, Please update your wordpress to the latest version … deactivate wp-pagenavi and jetpack plugins if installed

Hi mo3aser,

It was the wp-pagenavi that had to deactivated, so everything works fine now, thanks!

Great news :)
