Hi,

1st thing you’ll have to do is to use WP Menus (Appearance -> Menus). Now it shows only pages, but no current menu item selected is shown.

1) You must have parent portfolio category which one you have to select in Portfolio shortcode. I can see on your Portfolio page that you have inserted this shortcode, but there are no filters (because you don’t have parent category with subcats/filters). Update your permalink settings, because there is 404 page when you visit portfolio item.

2) You have to insert full shortcode code. If there is no URL parameter, default one will be used (brankic1979.com). This is the full shortcode code

[bra_button text="Large" url="http://www.brankic1979.com/icons" target="_self" size="large" style="rounded" color="cream"]

3) For each page there is Brankic Custom Field (below the editor) Hide title from the begining of this page

ps: Full list of shortcodes and parameters is in the help file. Also, ther eis shortcode button in the editor http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/2826493-bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template?index=9

Hello, Thank you for the information below, I was able to change the buttons however I still cannot figure out the portfolio pages for the life of me. I have a Portfolio page, I inserted the shortcode, I created Portfolio categories with portfolio items with them but I still cannot get it to show up on the page. What am I doing wrong?

Also, I have chosen to Hide the Title from the blog page but it still appears. http://www.courtneycallahanpaper.com/blog/ The top portion still appears saying “Courtney Callahan stationery & invitations” even though I said it shouldn’t on this page.

Hmmm, You’ve selected this category from the drop down menu (you’ll see cat_id value in the shortcode) ? This cat_id value is the most important. To find right cat_id, please check help file.

About title on the blog page: If you choose to show Latest post on the front page, you’ll have the title of the blog there.

If you’re using page with selected blog category and choose to hide title# it shold work.

I have very limited internet access, so I can’t visit your website, but I’ll do it during the weekend (I’ll be in the office only this weekend in the next 10 days)

Hi Alex,

1) to add more sidebars to the theme, you’ll have to edit some files (Appearance -> Editor)

In bra_theme_functions.php duplicate this section as many times as you need new sidebars

register_sidebar(array(
        'name' => '3',
        'description' => 'Optional sidebar',
        'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</div>',
        'before_title' => '<h3 class="title">',
        'after_title' => '</h3>'
    )); 

Just change the name to 4, 5, 6… In bra_custom_fields.php duplicate

<option value="3" <?php if (get_post_meta( $post->ID, $this->prefix . $customField[ 'name' ], true ) == "3" ) { ?> selected="selected" <?php } ?>>3</option>

and replace 3 with 4, 5, 6…

2) You should change the width of icon box. Give me the URL of that page and I’ll send you extra code for this

3) You’ll have to edit javascript/custom.js (you can’t edit it via dashbaord, you’ll have to use FTP client, or File Manager on your hosting)

Replace

if ($(this).parents("li").length == 3) { menu_text = "-- " + menu_text; }
        if ($(this).parents("li").length > 3) { menu_text = "--- " + menu_text; }
        $("<option />", {"value": menu_url, "text": menu_text}).appendTo($menu_select)

with

if ($(this).parents("li").length < 3) {  
        $("<option />", {"value": menu_url, "text": menu_text}).appendTo($menu_select)
}

4) Yes, text widget with HTML code in it. Not sure what can goes wrong with this widget

I hope this helps…

Hi,

you’ll have to do it manually. Here is the example of reordering code which one you have to insert into Extra JavaScript in Brankic Panel (I think this code is easy to understand)

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $nav = $("#portfolio-nav");
    $nav_1 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(1)"); // ALL
    $nav_2 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(2)");
    $nav_3 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(3)");
    $nav_4 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(4)");
    $nav_5 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(5)");
    $nav.empty();
    $nav_5.append("<span>/</span>"); // old last item
    $nav_3.find("span").remove(); // new last item
    $nav.append($nav_1).append($nav_2).append($nav_5).append($nav_4).append($nav_3);
});

Got it, thanks for your help.

Hi,

When you hover any portfolio item you’ll see some javascript code

I think it’s because some plugin you’re using (social one I guess)

It’s an Oswald (Google Web Font) for headings, and Helvetica for the main content.

Hi,

To have only featured image (instead of Extra images) in blog preview, you’ll have to edit page page-blog-1.php (Appearance -> Editor -> page-blog-1.php) and delete (or comment with // in front)

if (extra_images_exists()) include ("slider.inc.php");

This should work…

Hmmm, it doesn’t seem to work. I tried adding // in front of the code and deleting it all together, but it still doesn’t work. Now my blog only displays a preview for the first and last blog post that I wrote, even though all posts have a featured image & extra images in it.

Any advice?

Hi,

please update the theme ( http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/faq/2826493 ) to the latest version and if the problem is still there 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

Hi kostyaber,

To define your fonts you have to add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel (and chang the font family value)

body {
  font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
}

As you can see, it’s already Helvetica for “ordinary” text in the theme. If you want to have Helvetica for headers, titles, you have to add

font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;

to Brankic Panel -> Google Font Family (don’t worry, it will work )

Have you updated the theme to the latest version?

It’s fixed in version 1.6

ps: I can see you have version 1.6 and it’s working now.

Hi,

update the theme to the latest version to fix the issue with portfolio.

In the package your client bought, is plugins folder with photostream widget.

Hi,

HTML version is totally static. You have to manually create new blog posts and create links to these. Also, you can’t comment (out of box). If you don’t plan to update your website frequently you can use HTML version. You must have medium HTML knowledge if you want to edit/manage HTML version.

If you want to write blog posts often, WP version is for you. No HTML knowledge is necessary, only basic WP.

Hi,

for each portfolio item you have to define it’s parent (the place where the user will go if click on middle button).

It’s in Brankic Custom Fields below the editor…

Hi dwelf,

footer is managed via sidebars on Widgets page in your back end…

...figured out same happens with blog-templates.

best regards Tim

Hey there, any news on taht?

Best Regards, Tim

Ooooh,

sorry Tim. I was sure I’ve answered to you

I’ve tested all possible background combination and couldn’t get the same issue you had. All worked as it should.

Right now I have very limited internet access (very slow connection) so I can’t log in to your dashboard and check it myself…

Hi,

I’ll try to fix it. Before the update you can use one of many social plugins available in WP plugins directory…

It’s in the shortcode portfolio – height parameter.

Ok it works, but I can’t stretch it. So if I’ve got one image with only a thumbnail height of 100px, I have to change every thumbnail to a height of 100px.

I wonder why you don’t use image cropping, automatically. So that every image has a height of e.g. 200 px etc.

Hi,

it’s responsive, so we can’t make new image size for each screen resolution. Also, there are 2/3/4 columns layout and for each of these layouts we should create separate crop.

In responsive design best practice is to use width = 100% for image elements.

Thats perfect Brankic. Exactly what I needed! What CSS do I need to add to edit the divider lines(thickness and colour) ? Also is there a way to get the homepage to fit within a screen so no scrolling, or even to move the footer further up on the page?

.divider-border {
  border-top: 2px solid #EEEEEE;
}

It’s not possible to adjust height of website. We’ve tried some jQuery solutions, but we couldn’t get nice result

About CSS . Use Inspect Element feature od Chrome/Firefox(with Firebug)

Righ click on any page element brings all info about it (CSS file, declaration…). Your job is to copy declaration of that element, paste to Extra CSS and change it on your own.

I hope this helps…

Thanks I have been trying the Inspect Element feature will work with it more!

Thanks for all your help Brankic

Hi,

may I see the example of blog page with this issue, so I could provide you quick fix (and update the theme).

My website is put in maintenance mode while I work on it so I couldn’t provide you with a very useful link, but…

The solution you gave me works very well on the home page but it doesn’t on my blog page even though they’re basically set up in the same way with that centered headline under the header. The copy leaves more padding on top and not equal top and bottom so it sits centered within the two horizontal lines.

And a couple other questions while we’re here:

1. Can the branding, logo design, print and copywriting icons change to white at moue-over (just like the copy) if I save out new ones ? If so, where do I upload them to and do I ned to change any CSS ?

2. How do you get the “socialize with us” links at the bottom right of the footer? I’ve managed to implement the other widgets etc without any problems.

Thanks for your great support!

If you could provide me an access to your dashboard I could see what’s wrong with this title, so 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.

It’s hard to add mouse over change of icons. Advanced knowledge of jQuery is necessary and it;s beyond our support.

In footer we’re using Brankic Social Widget plugin. This plugin is included into the ZIP you’ve downloaded in folder “plugins”.

Hi,

not, it can’t be done easily. Title and icon are enough from design / practical point of view.

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

Also, please include your question into this email and exact page with the problem.

To disable comments add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel

.post-info div.comments { display: none;}

To remove “posted by” add this to Extra CSS

.post-meta ul li:first-child {display:none;}

For 3 icon boxes add this to Extra JavaScript

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".grid.services").removeClass("row4").addClass("row3");
})

I hope this helps…

I found the following that maybe causes the problem

element.style { height: 30px; }

How I can change the 30px to 0px? I know nothing about CSS ..

Sorry,

you have to add

.custom_divider {height: 0px!important;} 

Thank you Brankic1979! I am really happy I purchased this theme! The support is the best!!
