Hi 
I really like your theme. It’s fantastic! Love working on it!
But like all the others too, I got some problems. Hope you can help me! Till now I haven’t found any solution for this.
When I click on “Portfolio” the parent categories and the sub cats are showing up (e.g. “all”, “illustration”, “photos”…) but no portfolio items are shown. I first have to click on any sub category like “all”, only then the items of this specific category are shown. How can I change this?
I want all items to show up immediately at the same time after clicking on “Portfolio” and without clicking on “all” or something. Like on your example online! Do you know what I mean? It’s a bit tricky to describe.
And one more thing: Is it possible to change the order of the portfolio items?
Well well… life ist complex and confusing 
hope you can help me! And thanks in advance!

Hi,
life is complex and confusing especially if you’re using BigBangWP v 1.5.1 which one has bug with portfolio layout Update the theme and portfolio items will be there.
To change order, you have to change dates of portfolio items because it’s ordered by date (desc)
I hope this helps…
Yey! It works! Thanks a lot!
One more question:
Is it possible to change the color of the footer and the sites easily?
i mean the gray stuff. Do I have to change it in every single part or is there
one big part that says “this is all gray”?.
hehe, just thought asking tricky questions would be fun
Hi,
with basic CSS knowledge you can do it easily. Add this code to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
#footer-bottom {
background-color: #333333;
}
#footer-content {
background-color: #00ff00;
}
Thank you very much for helping me! Great support!!!
Hi again
Oh man, I’m sorry but I got one more question: Is it possible to remove the small magnifying glass symbol and it’s link in the portfolio items?
I think a bigger version of the images popping up don’t make any sense in my case. Is this very difficult for an amateur like me?
Thank you for responding and please excuse all my questions…
ndreyn
That’s easy
a.preview {display:none;}
Yeah! Cool! Thank you!!!
Hey hey,
it’s me again
One more question: Is it possible to use the portfolio items (circle) and a stretched background image (not boxed as usual) without having a white rectangle around the circle? that’s probably not possible, am I right?
Thanks for helping!
ndreyn
Hi,
it’s not possible to have shaped items and non solid background. Just think about it. Mask must be the same as background, and if the background isn’t solid, it’s very hard to adjust it to different browser sizes.
So, only solution is to use boxed layout.
Hi,
okay, that’s no problem Thanks a lot!
Is it possible to link the whole portfolio item and not only the headline/portfolio item name? I know, the headline won’t have any rollover function then. If it’s too complicated, please tell me. I don’t want you to spend hours of thinking for free 
Also possible: Linking the whole text (headline, categories and description) in the portfolio item. Okay, but now that’s it, hehe.
Hi,
yes it is too complicated to have whole section clickable. Title and icon are enough…
Hi,
thank you very much for helping! Really!!! Okay, no problem. I’m cool with it now.
But there’s one last issue left: There are no blog categories on my blog page (like “recent posts” and so on). I turned it of a few weeks ago and now I forgot how I did that.
On “Blog Page” I clicked “yes” on “Show categories on blog page” and on “Show categories on blog single page”.
And I do have different Blog cats. Hm. Mysterious!
It’s not that important but maybe you know a solution.
Okay, now that’s it. Thanks for replying so fast!!!
In latest version you can bring category with your blog posts to the menu.
Not sure why you can’t see categories in Brankic custom fields 
Hey, 3 questions: - I got some customizations done to the theme, if now I want to update it, how can I do it to keep those customizations? - when I add the centered title shortcode, it appears in the body of the backend but not on the actual website - how can I add a background pattern? they can be chosen on the website when the panel is activated, but how can I choose one permanently?
Hi,
all customization you should do in the back end, not on the front and.
In your Dashboard there is Brankic Panel with all of the options you’ve mentioned…
it would be good to clearly answer all questions, so again: - the centered title doesn’t appear on my website - there is no option in the brankic panel to choose one of the background panels from the website panel
so, please be a bit more detailed then that
There is misunderstanding.
To customize the theme you don’t have to use Choose your style on the website, but Brankic Panel in the Dashboard…
and what about the centered title? it doesn’t appear even though I add the short code in the body (normal view not html) I can see the short code wrapped in the body but when I check the website online, the entire text is missing
May I see the URL of the page with missing centered title shortcode?
Try to wrap it with [one]...[/one] shortcode…
here is the URL : http://www.growlimitless.com/holidays-home-in-belgium
I tried several things but nothing appears: bra_center_title title=”test centered headline” subtitle=”Subtitle” title=”test centered headline” subtitle=”“][/one] title=”test centered headline” subtitle=”Subtitle”][/one]
I also updated the theme You can see at the end of the page that there is some space so there clearly is something happening
Hi,
have you changed css/style.css. On your website you have this
.section-title {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
padding: 30px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
display: none;
}
in original file of your version it should be
.section-title {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
padding: 30px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}
Can you explain this, please?
that was it, thanks it works now!
I know that is it, but could you please explain how it gets there?
We can’t give support if someone changes files on it’s own!
well yeah, I am trying some things, but I haven’t touched the short codes, no idea how that one came there
but maybe I did something wrong along the way, my bad
Hi there,
Thanks for answering my previous email question. Worked out well, and I love the theme.
Question about the 1.5.2 update: I’ve made some modifications to the CSS —do i need to overwrite the CSS with the updated file and make my changes again, or can i update everything except the CSS files?
Thanks
Hi,
in main style.css is the list of files changed. No CSS files are changed, so yes, you’re right.
Just to be safe – make a backup of your CSS folder…
Nevermind about the previous post concerning the deleting of the “comments off” text. I went in and edited single.php and page-1-blog.php and it’s all removed.
Congrats,
that’s the easiest way to do that. Just take care if you update the theme..
I just got this theme cause I love the way the demo looks. I have to admit that this theme is not for the faint of heart, alot of coding/HTML. I am starting a site from scratch and I don’t even know were to start on this. Can you contact me back an maybe we can get this set up like the demo and that would help me to figure everything out. Thanks.
Please send me your wp-admin URL , u/p (via email form on our profile page) so I could setup your site like live preview.
You can try it yourself (detailed instructions are in the help file…), but if you get stucked, drop me an email…
I was searching through the help file and discussion, so if I missed this, I apologize. I’d like to turn comments off completely, but also hide the “comments off” text. Is there a custom css to do this? Thanks in advance for your help. It’s been greatly appreciated.
Hello.
How can I show the entire title in every portfolio item.
Thanks
Hi,
if you would know how much time I’ve spent to create script for cropping the title…
$(window).load(function() {
var short_title = "";
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
var heights = new Array();
$("#thumbs li .item-info h3 a").each(function(){
heights[i] = $(this).height();
i++;
})
heights.sort(function(a,b){return a-b});
var min_height = heights[0];
i = 0;
$("#thumbs li .item-info h3 a").each(function(){
item_info_height = $(this).height();
if (item_info_height > min_height){
item_info_height = 0;
var long_title = $(this).html();
while(item_info_height <= min_height){
i++;
item_info_height = $(this).html(javascript_excerpt(long_title, i)).height();
//alert(javascript_excerpt(long_title, i));
$(this).html("");
}
//alert(javascript_excerpt(long_title, i - 1))
$(this).html(javascript_excerpt(long_title, i-2))
}
})
})
})(jQuery);
I’m sorry , was my client request.
Thanks so much! great theme, great support!
Hi,
Just two little questions before buying:
1) In the latest portfolio items on the homepage. Is there an option to link directly to the portfolio item instead of using the lightbox?
2) Is there an option to show the latest blog posts (in a list with featured image for example) on the homepage instead of displaying them in the footer?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
1) you can remove preview icon and leave only link icon.
2) You can use portfolio layout for blog posts too. I’m pretty sure there are plugins which allows you do exactly the same thing you want (if you don’t want to use portfolio layout)
OK (in reference to my comment above), have solved number 5. Still would like help with the other questions though. Thanks!
I’ve purchased this theme, and things are going all wrong.
1st off : When I tried to follow your direction in creating the portfolio I’ve created the categories but when I try to add the portfolio using the shortcode I get the lightbox pop up but nothing loads, same thing for all of the other shortcode (Toggle element shortcode Button shortcode Team member Section Portfolio Grid List Wrapper highlights text Dropcap shortcode Blockquote shortcode)
Something is very wrong, plz advise on what to do.
Hi,
I’ve experienced this issue on some servers and I can’t figure it why
However you can insert shortcodes manually (there is shortcodes.txt file in HELP 1 .2 folder)
I can do it for you (for free of course) if you don’t know how to do that.
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 tell me what do you want to ad to what page.
I’ve tried adding it manually and still nothing appears. The portfolio page appears to be in a blog like format even though the page attributes is set to default template.
I’m having another weird problem and don’t know if this is suppose to happen. When I enter shortcodes manually and put it in to the visual mode of the editor, the rendered content appears in a html format, for example.
when I put
[bra_list style=”colored-counter-list”]- Colored
- List
- Elements
on the front end i see this, (this goes the same for all the other ones)
- Colored
- List
- Elements
Please ask this question about list shortcode via email because this form strips HTML code…
Hi again, have now bought and installed theme and love it. A few issues nagging at me – have tried looking through the comments here for solutions but there are lots of comments (wish themeforest would offer a better searchable forum for support). So, I’m sorry if you’ve already answered these, but:
1. Any portrait-oriented featured images in blog posts are blown up to fill the horizontal space of the post, which makes them massive. Is there a way to reduce/limit the image size when it appears in the top of the post? I don’t mind if there’s white space to the sides.
2. When I include a gallery of the post images in the post, it automatically includes the featured image as well (so that gets shown twice). Any way to exclude it from the gallery?
3. Any way to make gallery thumbnails link to show the image in lightbox instead of in a separate window?
4. I have set my home page as a portfolio and set the number of columns (in the shortcode) to 3. It insists on giving me 4. Is there another place where I’m supposed to change this?
5. How do I get that shaded footer area and contents that you have in the demo?
Thank you – I’m so excited about this theme!
Hi,
it looks there will be another theme update
Just to make sure, when you mentioned “gallery” you mean WordPress gallery?
May I get the URL , so I could replicate your layout and find solution tweaking it on my local server?
Hi again, in reference to number 3 above, I have installed Jetpack and its component Carousel, which offers a lightbox-style option for Wordpress galleries. Seems to work well, although I’m still having trouble getting the gallery itself to display correctly in the post. Might just seek out a different gallery plugin – any to recommend?
OK, have been tinkering and my questions 2, 3, and 5 are no longer problems as I’ve worked around them by installing Portfolio Slideshow Pro. Question 1 still remains, as does question 4 (just for future reference though, as I’ve decided to keep 4 columns for now). Thanks!
Sorry – one more question. I’ve been using circle shapes for my portfolio but wanted to try leaving them unshaped and having a masonry effect. The problem is the items still line up on a grid (I left the size value blank as instructed) so my masonry has weird gaps in it. I’d like the items to fit together better – is that possible? Thank you!
Hi,
about 4) If you use shape, columns option is overridden. Circle and Hexagon – 4 columns, Triangle – 3 columns and this can’t be changed…
Also, height option is overridden if you’re using shape because shape masks are fixed.
just want to know size before i drop them in
Hi,
for this layout, image should be at least 460px wide. If you insert bigger/smaller one, it will shrink/expand.
If you’re using Firefox, there is a great plugin (MeasureIt) for measuring stuff on web pages
How do I get the menu items to stay highlighted a color when selected, like in the preview.
You have to use WordPress Menu and in that case active menu item will be highlighted…
hi…if i’m building out the team page and doing 2 column instead of 3, what is the best width to use for photo?
Images should auto adjust. May I see the URL so I could you help you if you have problems with 2 columns layout…
Hi – I absolutely love the design and am on the verge of buying but would like to know if it’s possible to include blog posts in the portfolio? Any work-around if not? Thank you!
Yes,
you can include any category into portfolio layout. Only limitation – no pagination!
Thank you Brankic1979, that’s excellent. And another reason to buy – super responsive support!
Responsive theme – responsive support
Figured out my other problem. New question how to add Videos to the portfolio page?
You can add video only to portfolio single page.
Insert Video URL (of youtube/vimeo page, or direct path to SWF /MOV file)
Another way is to insert embeded code into Additional HTML
Both Video URL and Additional HTML are Brankic Custom Fields (below the editor)
Okay thanks! Also is there anyway to upload images for the branding, logo, design, copywriting part?
Hi,
to upload new icon boxes images, you’ll have to upload (FTP, or file manager on your hosting) new images to folder bigbangwp/images/icons…
After that, you’ll have new images in drop down in shortcode icon boxes…
Okay thanks. What about changing the image that pop ups when click a portfolio item to a video? Basically so you have a pop up video in a sense instead of just a thumbnail
If you have Video URL video will pop-up instead of featured image.
I hope this helps…
Hello, how do I change the size of the logo? I need it to be wider.
Thanks!
Hi,
you have to create your logo wider. Don’t quite understand the question…
I did, but it cropped it to the original size and cut off the sides 
Nevermind, Wordpress was doing something funky but I figured it out Thanks!
Congratulations, great work!
Just a question. The left and right arrows cycle all the portfolio categories items. I want it to just cycle the specific portfolio category.Hi,
I’ll try to find solution for this in next update…
Hello again!! One more question
I am using the Bigbang contact form & in the settings you need to set the ‘Email from field’. I would prefer this to be populated with the email address entered by the user – if its a set address it won’t be the right thing to reply to.
Can this be done? thanks!
Hi,
you’re right about that, but it’s hard to do because email fields are not always on the same place and with the same name (email, Email, E-mail, mail…)
I’ll try to find workaround for this in next update…
Hi! Onec again, I must say great theme!
I am just having a little trouble with the google fonts. hey do look ok for me but I am getting feedback that they;re not displaying for my client. They sent me a screen grab & I can see its loading a different font ( looks like comic sans sadly!)
This is the website: www.mobileyogi.com.au
The font I am using is font-family: ‘Vibur’, cursive; <link href=’http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Vibur' rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>
Do you have any advice on code I could add to force the font to load?
thanks! Greer
Hi,
I can see Vibur font on that website in all of my browsers.
The font looks the same like on it’s home page http://code.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Vibur
