Hello Brankic

I have looked for the answer to my question before posting it, but I haven’t had much luck finding it, so here it goes:

How can I add information to the default footer that appears on each page? I can see two dark grey boxes but I can’t find the way to write anything down inside them.

Thank you

Hi,

footer area is managed via widgets (Appearance -> Widgets)

Thanks for the quick reply really appreciate it :) Best of luck guys!

My god. I have been using Wordpress for years it seems but the way you guys built this out is truly inspiring. Well done.

Thanks crobley !

i know a little php. if you could just point me in the right direction…

Sorry,

but this is way beyond our support :(

I have another question. Is there any option to have thumbnails on the portfolio pages on the sidebar below the text?

Importing an image as a thumbnail does work, but when you click on it to view it larger, it opens it up in a new page, rather than the Lightbox plugin i’m using.

I was just wondering if there was a thumbnail option i could be missing. If not…do you have any suggestions as to a plugin or steps I could take to implementing thumbnails?

Thanks so much!

The area I mean is on the portfolio items, to the left of the slideshow.

Now I see what you want :)

You can insert thumb image linked to original, but you have to add link rel attribute (prettyPhoto[]) to A tag . You can do it manually, or you can add this Extra JavaScript
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".single-portfolio_item .one-third a").attr("rel", "prettyPhoto[]");
});
Example is here http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/carum-rarum/
When I added the extra JS:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".single-portfolio_item .one-third a").attr("rel", "prettyPhoto[]");
});

It also makes the prev/all/next buttons in that column attempt to open in pretty photo/lightbox as well.

Theme is absolutely AMAZING thank you! One question. I am trying to make the home page slideshow full screen width of 100%. I’ve been trying to see if there is an option to set that like the full map contact page. Looks like if I want to do that I’ll have to edit the style/page templates directly, but before I did that I want to make sure their isn’t an option to set it to full screen width like that contact page.

Thanks!

You’re right :(

Only contact page has 100% full width. Slider is 960px wide.

Love the theme. I do have one question: I want to display the ‘fixed’ header style on all pages other than the home page. If it’s the home page, i’d like it to use the change from the other style to the fixed style. Know what I mean?

Hi,

you can’t do it out of box. You should hire someone for this 1hr job. We don’t customize our themes, sorry :(

Hello. Love the theme! Thanks for all your work. No hurry on this, but I noticed the facebook like button is cutting off both on my theme and the live preview here. Screenshot to help you understand the issue here.

Thanks!

Hi,

you’re right. Please install some sharing plugin and disable our share section in Brankic Panel -> Blog.

We’ll try to find the fix for the next update…

I removed the mobile code as you directed for another person, but now my site is “bouncing” on a mobile device when it loads. I took the @ media mentions out of all 3 css files, and removed the two lines of viewport code from the header.

Why is it “bouncing”? www.angeloakcreative.com

Thanks!

Steph

Hi,

When I visit www.angeloakcreative.com with my iPhone I can only see some stripped version, so don’t know how to see that bouncing :(

Thanks for a great theme Brankic 1979!

I’m having a problem in IE: for posts without images, blog page and single post pages show big, empty image place holder, how do I get rid of it and be able to have images display properly with posts that do have featured image attached to them? Thanks for help.

Hi,

here is the fix. Add this to Extra JavaScript

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
//removing image if there is empty SRC
$("img").each(function(){
if ($(this).attr("src") == "") $(this).parent("a").parent(".post-media").remove();
})

});

Great, thank you again!

Hi there!

I’ve got my site all set up, but I was wondering if your custom twitter widget also has the ability to automatically update my twitter every time I create a blog post?

What can I do to enable this feature?

You want to tweet about new post? We can’t do that with our twitter widget, but I’m sure there are such plugins out there…

I would like to move the logo on top of the page a bit more down to align it with the menu, how can I do that?

Hi,

change logo top margin with this Extra CSS
#logo {
  margin-top: 65px;
}

sorry, but it just won’t move :(

the domain is www.dailyharmony.org

could it be because of the opt-in widget I have above the image?

Try this code
#logo {
  margin-top: 35px!important;
}

Hi there,

I am having trouble setting up the image slider on the homepage, similar to the demo. I am able to get one image in via the “featured image” option. But when I add another “Extra image 1” It just puts it below, not in a slider.

Am I missing something? Thanks so much!

I just discovered the problem! I was putting a featured image, and an extra image in…but no second extra image. If I ignore featured image, and only use extra image 1 and extra image 2, the slider does pop up! Thank you for your time!

I’m glad you solved it !

ps: Nice portfolio you have, but please try to use extra images of same size. Slider doesn’t look nice if images differs…

Hey, great theme. We are really happy with it at the moment. Acouple of customization question (sorry if they’ve been asked before, couldn’t find them)

1. My Contact page goes out of wack when in stretched mode. http://giraldi.com/wp/?page_id=357 2. How do I change the colors of the toggle (both box and text)? 3. I tried customizing the PrettyPhoto.js, but I’m not seeing any changes. I want for the player to look like it does when you click on the thumbnail for “Tonda” on this page http://giraldi.com/wp/?page_id=93 Is there a way to make it look similar with PrettyPhoto? 4. How do I get change the image for the magnifying glass icon on the portfolio gallery to a play button? (i can find the icon myself) and is there a way to get rid of the link icon completely and have the preview option only?

Thanks in advance for your help. I know this is a lot.

Hi spinzo,

1) thank you for noticing this. Our script for adjusting the height of map frame doesn’t work fine if you’re using title on the page. We’ll include fix for this into net update.

2) Add this to Extra CSS (and change color codes)
.trigger a {
  -moz-transition-duration: 0s;
  background: url("../images/bullet-toggle.png") no-repeat scroll right 15px #F8F8F8;
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17);
  color: #676767;
}

3) I’m not sure this can be done with prettyPhoto.

4) This image is in the sprite images/sprite.png. To remove link icon, add this to Extra CSS
.item-info-overlay a.preview {
  right: 0px;
}
.item-info-overlay a.view {
  display:none;
}

Brilliant! Thanks for your help!

Hello. Thanks for your theme! Might be a silly question but was just wondering how to set up the photostream goodness for sidebar/widgets. Thanks!...

5 min later. Ah, nevermind. Found the plugins folder. You guys killed it with this one! Woot!

Hello, congrats for your BigBang theme, I browsed several ones, (a huge ton !!!) and Bigbang is just the perfect theme for me. :-) So-- sorry if the question has already been posted : on my blog page, (frontpage of the blog) even if there is no comment on an article, it says “1 comment” and when you click on the item in question, this time the information is good ! it says “0 comment”. How to be sure that the information is correct, about the number of comments on the blog page? thanks a lot ! Guillaume

Hello again, and sorry for the url : http://alcidecomix.com/blog/ By the way, I cannot find a way to remove the link to a new url (flickr acount, demo files) set inside an image from the home slider. Where are these slider images from ? And last but not least, I would like to create a page (and accessible from the primary menu) that contains the url to my spreadshirt shop, but not a redirection with a new spreadshirt page, just embedded into a new WP page, with the BigBang menu always visible. Sorry for my english, hope I have been clear. Thanks for your prompt reactivity in this forum.
Thank you for noticing this issue with comments number. To fix it, replace in index.php,page-blog-X.php (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor)
<?php comments_popup_link( _n('<span>0</span> Comments', '<span>1</span> Comment', '<span>%</span> Comments', BRANKIC_THEME_SHORT)); ?>
<pre>
with
<pre>
<?php comments_popup_link( __('<span>0</span> Comments', BRANKIC_THEME_SHORT), __('<span>1</span> Comment', BRANKIC_THEME_SHORT), __('<span>%</span> Comments', BRANKIC_THEME_SHORT)); ?>
</pre>

URL of slides are defined in Extra Images (on the right hand side, below the featured image)

Don't quite understand 3rd issue. Create new page, add it to WP Menu (Appearance -> Menus) and add this code to the HTML editor
<pre>
<iframe src="http://www.brankic1979.com" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="400"></iframe>
</pre>

</pre>

Thank you very much, it works fine. You made my day. ;-)

Hi,

Just a quick query, is it possible to turn the coloured box that sits behind the navigation menu, when you’re on that page, off?

E.g. when I’m on the homepage, I would like the nav menu not to have any boxes showing.

Thanks,

Hi FBN , You have to edit javascript/custom.js and delete (or comment with //)
$("li.current-menu-ancestor a:first, li.current-menu-item a:first").addClass("current");
$("ul li.current-menu-item a.current").parent("li").addClass("current");

On the WordPress pages widget for the footer, what are the page ID’s if I want to exclude pages from this list – are they the full urls or something different?

Thanks, Neil.

You can check the page ID if you hover it’s name on Pages page in Dashboard and see the status bar where URL appear.

However, this is not theme related, so you should search WP plugins directory for something like “better pages widget” or similar…

Hi! Love the theme but have a big question. I followed the brief Help instructions but can’t get my Portfolio items to work / show up. Is there more detailed instructions on how to enable it?

Hi,

maybe you’re using version 1.5.1 which one has bug with portfolio shortcode?

If this is the case, please update to latest version http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/faq/2826493

Love this theme! One of the best! Is there a way to add the social media icons at the top of the site?

Hi christina,

sorry, but there is no header sidebar in our theme where social media icons can be inserted.

Only way to do it is to hire someone to alter the header.php file and insert social icons there.

ps: maybe there is such a plugin. Quick search (without installing and trying) http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/odd-social-media-plugin/
A plugin wich wil easily allow you to create buttons to your 
Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIN at the top of your website.

Hello, keep up the amazing work! I have a question about user experience.

I noticed on the actual blog post page itself, the reader is having a hard time going back or knowing they are actually in the blog section itself.

Is there an option for breadcrumbs? Would love an option so the reader can go back to the blog section not the homepage of the site. Is there a way to make the “blog” in the menu highlighted when they are actually on a blog single post?

Thank you in advance!

Ok gotcha.

Is there a way to make the “blog” in the menu highlighted when they are actually on a blog single post?

One more question about search results page.

How do I make the search results page style conform with the blog page? Say for example blog3 page template.

I am assuming index.php. I do see this: if (is_search()) { $title = __(“Search results”, BRANKIC _THEME_SHORT); $subtitle = __(“for ”, BRANKIC _THEME_SHORT) . $_GET[“s”]; if ($paged > 1) $subtitle .= ” – ” . __(“page”, BRANKIC _THEME_SHORT) . ” ” . $paged; }

To highlight blog link on main menu when you’re on blog single post isn’t that easy in our theme :( (this is why we didn’t highlighted it). If you have only one blog page, I can try to create some custom script for your site only (for free).

I can also customize your search results page (index.php) if you send me wp-admin URL , u/p via email form on our profile page…

If you want to play around yourself with search results page, you have to copy DIV with class POST from blog-page-3.php and paste to index.php Also, you have to add class “blog3” to DIV with ID “inner-content” in index.php
