Is there a way to list a grouping of images like in the portfolio http://stonehillblogs.org/test/column-4/items-shaped-as-circle/ except when you click on the image it just opens up a large image without a link to an external page?

Hi,

you can select No Hover option in the shortcode. After that, please contact me via email form on our profile page and I’ll change the code for you.

Excuse most of the above, figured out some. But the slider/video shortcode is definitely not there and the 1/2 + 1/2 column shortcode is not working. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

there is no slider/video shortcode. You’ll have slider on any page/post if you insert Extra Images (below Featured image).

Video is inserted via Brankic Custom Field, or directly in the code (it’s explained in help file)

Sorry for 1/2 + 1/2 bug. Meanwhile, here is that shortcode (insert it manually)
[one_half]
<h3>Dummy</h3>
Content[/one_half] [one_half_last]
<h3>Dummy</h3>
Content[/one_half_last]

Just downloaded yesterday and the only page templates that are showing up are blog 1-6 and the 2 contact templates. Also, the 2 column shortcode is not working. Aslo, how do I get the flexslider to work? I’ve uploaded a featured image and a secondary image but they just stack on top of each other.

Thanks!

Hi, i was able to disable one of the two buttons that appear on rollover of the portfolio thumbs (down right). Now i want also to change the icon of the link for another one.

I have find the icon image, my problem is that i want to change it for a bigger one in x size. Can this be made easily direct in the Css files?

Add this to Extra CSS and change width and height and position of new sprite icons…
.item-info-overlay a.preview, .item-info-overlay a.view {
  height: 37px;
  width: 37px;
}
.item-info-overlay a.view {
  background: url("../images/sprite.png") no-repeat scroll 11px 13px #333333;
}
.item-info-overlay a.preview:hover {
    background: url(../images/sprite.png) no-repeat scroll 12px -83px #333;
}

Hello, I never received a reply weather you set up my site like the Live Demo. I went to my site and I guess you did. But for some reason the gallery images are not showing in the Home page and in the portfolio page, and none of the bottom widgets are showing at the bottom of the pages. Please help. Thanks.

I’ve answered you on 15-Oct 1:30 PM (Central European Time)

Your cache plugin is making me so much problems. If I change something in the backend, I can’t see it on Front end because this plugin caches some old version. Also, some of your Yahoo plugins is making a mess so shortcode button doesn’t work.

I’ve disabled these plugins, but problems were still there.

I suggested clean WP install…

Hi Brankic,

Thanks for the reply. I’ve went ahead and did a Clean install of WP. Can you try again to set up the Like the Live Demo if you can. Thanks.

Hi,

same thing again. I’ve setup menu, footer, contact page, but nothing is changed on front end :(

Maybe it will work in few hours.

Still shortcode button doesn’t work as it should. Maybe this is something with your hosting, or a plugin, really can’t know for sure.

I hope this makes sense…

Does it have other slider option?

No,

only Flex slider…

Good Day

I’ve purchased your theme and am loving it. I do however have one issues.

In your Live Preview, the landing page is the Homepage (with the homepage layout). Im my case, the landing page is in a blog format.

How do I make it so my landing page the is the homepage layout and not a blog layout.

Thanks

CANCEL EVERYTHING I JUST SAID . Just figured it out.

Thanks anyways

Hi,

I’m glad you solved it. For others – it’s a default WP option to choose static page for Front page. Default is Latest post (Settings -> Reading)

Can you tell me how to add a ‘copyright’ text in the sub-footer like on your demo page? I mean the “Copyright © 2012 Brankic1979. All rights reserved” Thanks

This is simple Text widget added to Appearance -> Widgets in Footer left / right sidebar…

Is there a way to make the portfolio (Recent Work ) on home page not link to another single page? I am using this section to feature client logos but don’t want to take to another page.

You can disable links in portfolio section on home page if you add this to Extra JavaScript in Brankic Panel
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".home .item-info-overlay .title a").attr("href", "javascript:void()")
$(".home .item-info .title a").attr("href", "javascript:void()")
$(".home .view").remove();
$(".home .preview").css("right", "0px");
});

I hope this makes sense…

Hi! I love the theme, but I have a question before purchasing. I was wondering what the max image size is for the blog and portfolio.

thanks! laurie

There is no max image size. Images respond to the size of the screen. Of course, there is no need to use images with more than 500KB because of loading time…

Do you have a help forum to post questions in for purchased users? I purchased your theme and have a few questions getting things setup.

Thanks

No forum

Use this page, or contact form on our profile page, so we can continue over email…

Hi

How can i change the postion of the top menu to centered?

the only option is from left or from right ?

You can add some right margin to menu.

Please use your purchase account and I’ll tell you exactly what to add.

Hi !

I have one little question before buying : Is it possible to see what a portfolio page look like if there is no image ? For exemple this page : http://demo.themedev.me/wordpress_themes/oh/portfolio/duis-honcus

Because i d like to use the portfolio but only to write article without images…

So is there gonna be a big white space on the right or the text, or is my text gonna take the full width of the article.

Thank you very much !

Hi,

you can use portfolio layout and with “normal” posts ( http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/blog-with-filters-portfolio-layout/ )

I hope this makes sense…

Hi, it makes perfect sense for what i need :)

Can you just tell me how to achieve this ?

Thank you very much and sorry for all the questions without bying yet, it’s because i have to give answers to my client before he chosse the template…

Thanks again for your quick responses !

Portfolio layout is a shortcode. You have to select category to show in that layout from drop down menu…

Hello, quick question. Is there any way to have the logo in the header center in the middle like your example site. Every time I put one in it locks to the bottom of the Nav. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Hi,

add this to Extra CSS and change a value (35) until it’s centered.
#logo {
  margin-top: 35px;
}

Thanks for the great theme. Question from the client:

Is it possible to change it so a user with the Editor role to change the custom fields for the alternate title? The “Brankic Custom Fields” area is blank for the Editor role.

They want the Editor to be able to set the alternative page title and text next to the page title.

Hi,

as I remember there is a plugin (called something like “user role manager”) which can alter/change roles for each type of user.

Plugin solution is a much better option for this kind of issue.

If I used a plugin then the client will have to rely on it being maintained.

I had at a look at the code in the “bra_custom_fields.php” file and changed the current user capability requirement from “manage_options” to “edit_others_pages” for the relevant fields. Only users with the Administrator role have the “manage_options” capability, the Editor role has the “edit_others_pages” capability.

This has solved the problem.

Bravo,

It’s good to work with such a skilled customers!

Hi, thanks for the great theme. I’m half way through developing a site for a client: http://www.rankfinfraser/wordpress I have a couple of issues I can’t seem to find a solution for: 1. There is in extra ‘custom-divider’ above my title on homepage I’d like to remove. 2. How to get the social buttons onto posts and projects (Sharing is not in the wordpress menu).

Thanks in advance for your help Steven

Here is FB like button fix. Add this to Extra CSS
.fb_edge_widget_with_comment{
  position: absolute;
}

HI, hope you had a nice break. I tried to update the theme following the steps you recommended and it broke the site again. I am therefore unable to rectify the custom-divider issue and the facebook like window still cuts off – http://www.rankinfraser.com/wordpress Would it be better to reach you via email to resolve the issues? Thanks Steven

Hi,

if you’re calling waiting for knee surgery in a hospital for a nice break – yes, I had a nice break :)

I still can’t get it how the theme broke after update :(

Yes, contact me via email form on our profile page (and send me u/p) http://themeforest.net/user/Brankic1979/profile

My wife loves this theme… just purchased for her food blog and she is thrilled. One question (for now anyway), she has been basically dealing with plain WP and so the recipes she has created are all posts… no problem there. The “problem” is this, when I add a Portfolio to one of her pages I’m unable to filter based on her Post categories, even though they display perfectly.

In light of that I’m guessing that she will have to recreate all of her posts as portfolio items, is that the case? Not a huge deal, but it would be great if the filter would work correctly on Posts as well as Portfolio items. It looks like it should work based on the shortcode creator, just doesn’t seem to work…weird.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

you can use portfolio shortcode with “normal” posts too http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/blog-with-filters-portfolio-layout/

You (she) will have to create new (parent) category and for each category she now has to make this new category as parent.

After that, insert portfolio shortcode and select this parent category.

Only problem is that with portfolio layout there is no pagination :(

I hope this makes sense…

It worked just as you described… sorry for missing something kind of obvious. Thanks for your super quick response, my wife is in love with her new theme.

Good to hear that.

ps: You wife is cheating on you with website :)

Everything is working well for me except getting the portfolio items to display.

I want a “portfolio” link on my main page (which I was able to set in the nav section)

When I try to create a new portfolio item and preview it I just get 404 errors or Nothin loads.

Trying to figure out where to inject the portfolio shortcode, but it’s really confusing. Is there anywhere that explains how to set up a portfolio much like the demo?

Thanks

It’s explained in the help file.

Create portfolio category and subcategories (which acts as filters). Add portfolio items and assign these to subcats. Go to new page and insert portfolio shortcode (from drop down menu select portfolio category)

I like your theme…is it possible to make the logo and navigation centered. And is it possible to have two columns below the slider? Thanks!

Nice,

if you have problems, don’t hesitate to send us an email…

I can’t figure out how to get the homepage as the index page to customize the slider, widgets etc. I added the home page and made it the static frontpage but that didn’t work. When I installed the theme there was a sample page with a blog. Please let me know how to correct this. Thanks!

I figured it out…never mind. :)
