Nevermind, I didn’t realize I had to sub-categorize the portfolio cats.

Thanks for the awesome theme, keep up the great work!

You’re right.

Maybe this will be useful for some other user…

@scheme710, look in the shortcodes.

I’m having a problem with the portfolio as well. Is there something I have to do to the portfolio categories ?

I use the following shortcode: [bra_portfolio title=”Recent work” cat_id=”” no=”-1” show_filters=”yes” columns=”4” shape=”” hover=”yes”]

It shows the “all” filter, but none of the other portfolio categories. In addition, the only time it will show a portfolio item, is when the cat_id=4 (or any specific id).

Help please?

Hi,

as you can see cat_id is empty. This means you haven’t selected category. In the help file is described how to get ID if you don’t want to use button (where categories are listed in drop down menu)

Hello, I’ve got everything down the way I want it, except for one piece. I cannot get the portfolio to show up. I want my “Messages” page to have different sermon series graphics (in the hexagon 4 column), then on each single page to have on the left side my embedded mp3 player and the logo on the right side. I just cannot get it to function. Any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way, killer theme. It’s great.

@Brankic1979

Thank you so much. The only issues still left with the portfolio is that when you click the item to go to the single pages it doesn’t show anything except “No posts were found.” I’ve tried to figure out why this would be happening, but cannot for the life of me understand why it wouldn’t be showing the content on either of the two sample portfolio posts.

Don’t ask me why, but refreshing permalink settings is a fix for this issue :)

@Brankic1979 Haha, nice. Thanks so much. I really appreciate all your help. You’re one of the few theme designers who have been great to work with. Cheers.

Anyone know how to add those portfolio things to the page?

Like here: http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/column-4/

I need to add this to my pages, can I get some help?

Hi,

please read help file
To create portfolio page, you have to use shortcode Portfolio. Before that you have to create portfolio posts organized by subcategories. Create parent portfolio category and subcats. Posts must be assigned to subcats, and in shortcode you have to select parent category.

Hi,

Anything that goes onto the 2nd page in my WordPress portfolio posts do not show on the theme portfolio. I have 23 published posts, 3 of which are on page 2. Whenever I add a new post, WP shifts previous posts to page 2. How do I fix this?

Thanks.

It’s ok, I figured it out! I feel stupid now. I just needed to increase the number of portfolio items in the portfolio shortcode to match (or exceed) the amount of posts I have in my portfolio items.

I do have another question though. How do I add/edit the title text that you see on the web browser tab? Right now it has ”| About” and ”| Contact” etc. I would like it to have my company name followed by the page e.g “savilldesign | About”.

Thanks!

Hi,

do you have Site Title in General Settings ?

Agh. So obvious… Thanks!

Hello,

Is it possible to change the font that I use to write in my blog?

Thanx

Hi,

you can use only default fonts. To change this font, add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
.post-content {font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;}

I hope this helps…

I am in the panel and the logo wont seem to change I’ve tried re uploading my image multiple times. Any idea whats going wrong?

Hi,

without access to your admin panel, I can’t know what’s wrong.

Please send me your wp-admin URL , u/p (via email form on our profile page) so I could fix this for you. Also, please include your question into this email

The left and right arrows seem to cycle all the portfolio items. I want it to just cycle the specific portfolio I am in. I know you are working on this, if that cant happen what can we do?

Should I just turn off the arrows? How would I do that?

Thanks again for your awesome support and Knowledge

Hi, removing arrows is easy. Just add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
li.prev, li.next {display: none; }

Thank you on kind words!

HI HOW CAN I TURN OFF THE MOBILE THEME ? THANKS

Hi kingp,

you have to delete media queries from css files (in css folder): blog.css, style.css and flexslider.css

Media queries are sections which starts with
@media only screen 
and these sections are at the end of each css file…

ok I removed this parts from the css files and now it opens the full website. The problem is that it opens the website without resizing it for the screen. it is zoomed in / big. I have to tap on the screen and it will get resized. All websites get resized on my android samsung galaxy automatically by the phone. Is there something in the css making it stay full size

Sorry, forgot to tell you to remove (from header.php)
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

Hi! Question, when you click on my portfolio page all of my portfolio items will appear and then after a few seconds will disappear until you click on “all”, any ideas on why this is happening? If you need to take a look:

Thanks! :)

Hi Sarah,

please update to latest version. There was a bug in your version :(

http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/faq/2826493

Your support is ah-mazing! I am so glad I chose this theme. Thanks for everything!

Thanks mate ;)

Hi

try to change the category ID in the shortcode of your Portfolio Page like this: [bra_portfolio title=”” cat_id=”555” no=”-1” show_filters=”yes” columns=”4” shape=”“]

Change the ID of your Main Portfolio Category into yours.

Hope this helps you, ...had the same problem ;)

Kind regards, Sven

Hi there, I have downloaded and installed your wordpress theme and need to get it up and running asap.

I am however having the problem that the portfolio part of the website is not working – when I add a post it is not showing up in the portfolio part of the website.

What can I do to fix this?!

Thanks!

Please send me your wp-admin URL , u/p (via email form on our profile page) so I could fix this for you.

Also, please include your question into this email

Hello , Thanks for good looking theme!

I have a question about how Portfolio items looks on my site. When I add something to my portfolio items, it’s always shows it by date uploaded. Is there any way to mix the items randomly

Thanks

To show it randomly, you’ll have to edit (Appearance -> Editor) includes/bra_shortcodes.php and change “date” to “rand”
function Bra_portfolio($atts, $content = null) {
.....
.....
.....
'orderby' => 'date', 

I hope this helps…

Brankic, sorry to ask again, but it’s kinda important and I guess the solution to my problem is pretty easy, yet I cannot find a workaround.

What I want to do is create a simple white container for the_content to be inside. No post media, no post info etc. Just title and below a white box. The problem is that the formatting inside the_content is “erased” by something in the theme. Can you clarify what is this?

I don’t understand why you have to ad new DIVs with some new classes. You can have simple white container ( http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/elements/fullwidth/?layout=boxed )

Please tell me how to add CAPTCHA to contact form. I got spam e-mail from my site contact form now. Thank you very much.

Hi

Brankic Panel -> Contact

Go to reCaptcha website http://www.google.com/recaptcha and get your keys…

My last question…

For the home page how do I do those icon / texts under the slider like in the demo home page sample? Here is my page:

http://www.distractionent.com/

Wanting to add 4 icons / text under neath.

Hi,

on our Live preview, under slider are icon boxes (inserted via shortcode Icon Boxes)

Hi Brankic1979,

Thanks for the theme it’s great! Just a couple of questions…

With the sliding graph is there any way you can customise it so that it doesn’t show % after the number? For example I want it to be number of years experience? So literally instead of it saying 30% I want it to say 30 years?

Secondly the menu doesn’t have the sticky active colour that it does in the demo. Is there a switch to turn it on or do I need to change some code?

Thanks

Hi,

to replace % with years you have to edit

function Bra_graph($atts, $content = null)
in includes/bra_shortcodes.php (Appearance -> Editor). There you’ll see % (just after $percent)

You have to create Menu (Appearance -> Menus) and select it for Primary menu. If you don’t use WP Menu, only pages will be shown in the menu (without active menu item colored)

I hope this helps…

Brilliant! Worked a treat! Thanks

Hi Brankic1979,

first – a great theme!

Now a question to the post before: I want also to change the Portfolio-Slug. Have edited the line in the bra_theme_functions.php and the URL looks fine. ...but now I can’t see the single Portfolio item after I click everything from the portfolio page.

You have an idea?

Kind regards!

Hi,

Weird. I’ve change it on my test server, and it’s working fine. Please send me your wp-admin URL , u/p via contact form on our profile page.

Also include your issue into this email , so I could see what’s the problem…

Hi – great theme so far – very clean and easy to use. I just have a couple of questions regarding the portfolio. It seems very confusing to use.

So far I have uploaded a handful of “logo/branding” portfolio items in the “logo/portfolio” category. Whenever I view it, the only category I see is “all”, instead of “all / logos/branding”. Do I need to add another category in order to see the different category links?

Secondly, is there a way to get rid of the link icon in the hover over in the portfolio items? If not, is there a way to direct them to a specific external link rather than linking to the posts page? I tried getting rid of the hover over, but this makes it to where you cannot click the item at all.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks, I do have version 1.5.2, but still having issues with the portfolio section.

Hi,

you must have one parent portfolio category with children logos and branding. In portfolio shortcode you have to select this parent category and if you do that, children will be shown as filters.

Have you done this way?

Phew…pretty confusing, but I got it now! Thanks for the quick response and help! A+ support!
