Almost done setting up this very great theme! Damn this is great! I love it!
One more question:
When I set up the portfolio feature and going to the portfolio page, my post’s/portfolio items are there but shortly after, they disappear. I have to press all to see them. Why?

Thanks!
Hi,
please update the theme http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/faq/2826493
There was a bug in your version (1.5.1) which is fixed in 1.5.2
Hello, First of all let me say this is a great theme, im looking for a solution for two changes i will like to do, and i will like to know if you have any idea on how to do them:
1) I am using the Bra Icon Boxes in the main page yo redirect to the porfolio, each box corresponds to a tag in the portfolio, i think this is done using the data-filter=”*” but adding this to the shortcode of the icon boxes didnt solve the issue, do you any other way i could do this?
2) I have some portfolio entries that are pics only, some portrait some not, so when i see the portrait ones they get to large and the horizontal ones work great, is there any way i can limit the height of the pics? this way the portrait pics could be more “viewable” in small screens.
Thanks again for this great theme, its awesome!!
Hi,
Thank you on your kind words about the theme 
1) It can’t be done without some advanced jQuery/PHP knowledge. To be honest, it would be hard even for me to accomplish this. Maybe you should try to hire some freelancer for this issue
2) This is the problem if you have different extra images sizes. If all images are portrait you can use twin slides option (like here http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/bonis-nocet-qui-malis-parcit/) Try this Extra CSS (in Brankic Panel).flexslider .slides img {
height: 300px;
width: auto;
}
I’ve seen on a previous post that you have mentioned that you are able to remove the preview icon on portfolio posts, leaving just the link icon on the hover – how is this done please?
Thanks,
Hi leversha,
just add this code to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
a.preview {display: none; }
Dear brankic1979, still playimng around with the theme. How do I use prettyphoto with your theme? Don’t find anything in the help file or some shortcodes. I figured out that it works with the grid-shortcode, but cant manage to handle it. Everytime I, say, put 3 photos in a 3 column grid and then publish – it shows me 4, but with ohne gridsquare left blank. Any idea?
Hi,
try to remove all spaces between images in the HTML editor (not Visual). If this doesn’t help, please send me your login credentials via email…
Hey,
thanks this was it! Works great, even with just one photo inside
I do now know how to handle the grid 
But there is no other prettyphoto shortcode, right?
Thanks again and all the best, OhC
Hi,
grid shortcode adds prettyPhoto by default. With some Extra JavaScript we can add prettyPhoto to almost anything. So, you can try to create test page and I’ll send you the code for prettyPhoto integration…
Hey B1979 ,
this woulda be awesome. Or you just pass the “manual” variant, for editing in html view. by the way, pretty photo is offering twitter/facebook share buttons in the pop ups out of the box, isnt it? is it turned off, can it get turned on again? otherwise i try the compability with a pretty photo plugin, if there is to much coding needed.
Cheers, OhC
Hi,
you can add prettyPhoto to any link. You have to add data-rel atribute with value prettyPhoto[] to A tag.
As I said, just create new page and I’ll see what’s the best solution for your case.
Hi again – I’m having trouble putting in a grid on my About page. I started by copying and pasting the code from your shortcode sheet and nothing appeared. I then tried substituting one of my own images (linked) and still nothing (not even grid lines). Is there something simple I could be missing? Thanks.
I don’t have admin privileges now, so I can’t try it myself.
When you insert all your linked images, remove any spaces/line breaks between them. This should do the trick…
Sorry about that – I have been playing around with my accounts. Much easier if I set you up with your own admin login – email should have been sent to you automatically with password.
I tried removing all the spaces etc but still not showing grid. If you could please get it to display the demo grid (3 columns) that would be great – then I can just go in and replace the images and links etc. I think you’ll be able to see where (on the About page) I want it. Thanks!
Another quick question – is there any way to customize search and archives results so they conform to the same blog list template I’ve chosen (as with my ‘recipes’ page)?
Done and done (I hope you like it)
1st problem: you’ve pasted the code in Visual editor so all < and > were transformed to another code.
However, there is a problem I hadn’t though about : grid layout works fine only if there is no sidebar 
2nd issue: I’ve changed file index.php (which shows search results) so now it has style of blog 3 layout.
Fabulous – thank you! For the grid, if I want to add more items will it automatically expand vertically to add more rows?
Yes,
it should work automatically.
Great, thanks. Am having trouble getting images (in grid) to link to external websites. Is that not supported? If not, is there another way of displaying my external links in a similar fashion? Thank you!
Hi,
you can open external site in pop-up window (add this to the end of URL ?iframe=true&width=100%&height=100%). Right now you can’t combine pop-up for some items, and new window for others out of box.
If you insist to open images in pop-up and external URLs in new tab, please let me know, and I’ll send you some code for this (but you’ll have to manually insert this code for each new item)
Hmm – can’t seem to get it to work. All I want is to be able to make the logos in my grid link to external websites in a new window. Just like the logos currently in my footers 3 and 4 do. If grid is not really designed to do that, then is there a better way? Thanks.
OK, trying a work-around now using icon boxes instead of grid (and inserting logo images instead of icons). These are working great in terms of linking to external sites in a new window, but the layout is off (I think because of the sidebar). Any way that I can add more icon boxes on same page (would like to have 2 rows of 3 across for a total of 6 boxes)? Any way to get rid of the dash lines between boxes? Also is there a way to suppress the sidebar for just that page? The sidebar selector in Brankic custom fields area says if I leave it blank it will insert default. I just want the option to have NO sidebar (but only for that page). Possible? Thanks.
Hi,
I’ve added Extra JavaScript code for removing pop-up boxes for grid layout.
Because of sidebar, grid doesn’t show nicely
You can try to add another grid container under the current one…
Thanks for your fast support.
I’m trying to post using Wordpress for (Android) & (iPhone) I only have one issue.
The pictures get uploaded to the site but it only shows HTML code instead of the pictures. If I insert the same pic through the dashboard it shows correctly. Anything I could do to make the mobile Wordpress post pics correctly ?
P.S Wordpress for android and iOS and its working fine with other website.
Hi,
are you talking about Extra images, or normal images in the post?
I’ve never worked with WordPress app (I have it, but never try it )
Hello and thanks for the awesome theme!
I have a quick question regarding the bra_icon_box element. I am trying to find a way to make each box in the bra_icon_boxes_container link to another page on my website, but each attempt to add a hyperlink anywhere within the box leads to the text becoming formatted like a hyperlink, and also creates a large space at the top of the box that pushes the text and icon down. I even have this problem when adding the hyperlink URL to the target reference attached to the icon in the box. Is there a quick and easy way to make an bra_icon_box link to something without making the text look like a hyperlink, or even to just link the icon and not the text? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
you can only add link via “url” parameter in shortcode. It’s working just fine for me http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/
This is the code I’m using[bra_icon_boxes_container][bra_icon_box icon="wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/images/icons/writing.png" url="http://www.brankic1979.com/icons/" target="_self" caption="Branding"]Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus voluptatem fringilla tempor dignissim at, pretium et arcu.[/bra_icon_box][bra_icon_box icon="wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/images/icons/img.png" url="http://www.brankic1979.com/icons/" target="_self" caption="Logo design"]Accusantium et doloremque veritatis architecto, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis perspiciatis.[/bra_icon_box][bra_icon_box icon="wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/images/icons/pen.png" url="http://www.brankic1979.com/icons/" target="_self" caption="Print"]Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus voluptatem fringilla tempor dignissim at, pretium et arcu.[/bra_icon_box][bra_icon_box icon="wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/images/icons/chemestry.png" url="http://www.brankic1979.com/icons/" target="_self" caption="Copywriting"]Inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae dicta sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus laudantium.

How do I set up the homepage? Is the slider in the demo a photostream shortcode from flickr or something? I’m looking to have the homepage include the large full width slider and the portfolio underneath.
I just bought this theme and I find it VERY confusing… Especially since everything seems to be implemented by shortcodes.
Still happy with the theme after buying it
Thanks for your great support.

Thanks OhC
Hi there,
Loving the theme – two minor things as I’m building: http://www.leversha.com/1. edited the icons section on default homepage layout and the dashed line has disappeared from between the squares and now appears beneath the first three.
2. I like how on the demo a parent menu item remains highlighted in Orange to show you where you are within the site. My parent menu items only turn grey when hovering and then return to white.
Many thanks,
Hi leversha,
1) Delete any spaces/line breaks between icon shortcodes in HTML editor of your page.
2) You have to use WP Menu (Appearance -> Menus). Choose your menu as Primary Menu
Brilliant, all sorted, thanks so much for super quick response. Couldn’t be happier with this and look forward to getting my teeth into the full capabilities.
Please tell me where I find the “help” file you are referring to, along with the demo site import instructions. I’ve read the theme instructions in the dashboard, and have gone thru the bigbang file I purchased. Cannot find the “help” file in the downloaded bigbang zip file contents. I’d like to go ahead and import the demo and alter it, as this is close to what I’d quickly like to get done with my site. Thank you. Here is what I copied from one of your posts. Please tell me where I find thsi: “Hi, there is help file included. Also, under section Installing, you’ll find detailed instructions how to import demo content and customize the theme.

Thanks a lot for the awesome theme & ur support I only have a simple question.
I’m using ur great theme for my blog so my questions r.
1- can I remove the (Continue Reading ) at the end of the post ?
2- if I don’t want to use the feature image option and want the whole post visible on the home page, how is that possible ?
3- if I wanna upload my own logo & background what’s the size u recommend for logo & background ?
Thanks again
Hi ironfoxmind,
1) Add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
.more-link {display:none;}
2) Add this to Extra Css in Brankic Panel
.post-media {display:none;}
and from index.php, page-blog-X.php replace
the_excerpt();with
the_content();
3) Our logo is 145×45. We suggest to use any width, but height shouldn’t exceed 50px
This is heading 1
This is heading 2
This is heading 3
This is how it’s shown: http://www.resolvewound.com/weaver/ (3 larger than 2). I didn’t know if this is a browser issue, or code. If I want text the size of h3, should I use h2 tags? I’m not a designer, this site is my company so I’m trying to get it built w/o messing w/code. Thanks

1. Hello, I just bought this theme and am trying to quickly set it up, and saw the option where you can change the fonts and accent color (not in code, but as a selection). I’ve gone thru every page and can longer find it. Where do I change the fonts, and font colors? Thanks.
2. Also, how to I remove “Sep 22, 2012 | Posted by admin | Comments Off” from the bottom of every page? Thanks
3. How do I remove “Home” below the slider on this page? I’d like to remove the page name from every page, as the menu is adequate.

Please don’t tell me I bought an old outdated theme?! No wonder I’m confused. I browsed thru the themes looking for a 5 star lightweight, clean theme and selected the other bigbang. Uggggg!
Looks like
Hi Brankic, I am not sure if this is doable, but hoping you can help me. I love the portfolio & category options. I have created filterable content throughout my site using the categories but here’s what I need.
Can i use the portfolio images as a button that links to a page and not to a portfolio? You can visit www.woodlandspoint.org to see what I’m trying to say. I want all of the portfolio images (that show more info when rolled over) to essentially just be buttons to a different page – not a portfolio page.
Can this be done? Please help!
Easiest solution is to use some redirection plugin.
I’ve sent you via email instructions how to add new custom field… I hope this helps…
Hi. I’ve just purchased this theme. My sincerest apologies as I am quite new to WordPress but is there a basic guide to how I can set my site up with the theme. In terms of menus, pages. I find it quite overwhelming, and the WordPress dashboard is not as user friendly as one might have hoped.
So anywhere to get this guide please?
Hi,
there is help file included. Also, under section Installing, you’ll find detailed instructions how to import demo content and customize the theme.
Basic WP knowledge is a must.

Hi Brankic1979
Can one choose a custom color for the theme? i.e. not one of the included options
Thanks
Hi badja,
not out of box, but it’s easy. Each color has it’s own CSS file with only color codes.
e.g. http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/css/colors/color-orange.css
Thanks for the reply! I’m really keen on buying this theme, just want to know is it relatively easy to configure with very limited coding knowledge?
It’s easy to customize it like on Live preview. Of course, you must be familiar with some basic WP features (menus, widgets, plugins…)
To change functionality you must have coding knowledge.
I wanted to include the footer (About Us/Recent Posts/Latest Tweets/Flickr and the social media icons) that you have on your demo page onto my own, but I’m unsure where the code is and where it needs to be placed.
This is my homepage at the moment: www.neilhorsman.com
As you can see the bottom of the page is blank at the moment.
Thanks, Neil.
Hi vidoo,
there are 6 footer sidebars. Add widgets to these sidebars.
2 bottom footers have Text widget and 4 sidebars above have Brankic Twitter, Social and Photostream (plugins folder in the ZIP you’ve downloaded) and Recent Posts.
I hope this makes sense…
Hi, a couple of pre-sale questions: - Can I use infinite scroll on the blog section? - Does the post slider adapt to different image heights? ie. can I have a mix of landscape and portrait without breaking layout? - Are shortcodes integrated as buttons?
otherwise looks great & looking forward to purchase!
Hi danito,
Infinite Scroll – what’s that?
Sliders adjust to different image heights depending of animation effect (face, fade, slide). This is the worst case scenario http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/acta-non-verba/ (but if you change effect from SLIDE to some other, navigation arrows will always be at the bottom of the image)
Yes, there is a button with shortcodes http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/2826493-bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template?index=9
Hey Brankic1979,
Thanks a million for a really great theme!
I have one question: Now using shortcodes for columns the first column aligns horizontally a bit higher than following columns. Is there a way to get all columns align on same level?
Best regards, SamiDS
Hi SamiDS,
if your featured images have different size and you’re not using HEIGHT parameter in shortcode it wont be aligned.
Insert some height value and it will be aligned on same level.
I don’t mean featured images, but plain text columns. If I use for example [one_third] shortcodes, the first column will align a bit higher that second and last third.
It’s not like this only on my site, but also in your demo: http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/elements/columns/Yet, I’d like to have all columns aligning on same level.
Sorry for wrong answer
Edit this page in HTML editor (not Visual) and delete all line breaks between column shortcodes.
Thanks, works now!
