Hi again,
I’m having some trouble with a portfolio page. The images sometimes won’t load and it’s different images every time. Firefox usually does okay, Safari–not so good. Here’s a link: http://gabriellatal.com/cgi/wp/?page_id=208 I’m not sure if this is a theme issue, but any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!
It appears to be a server issue, I haven’t seen this before. If you go to a direct link to one of the images here, sometimes it works and sometimes when you refresh, you get the error below
Internal Server Error Script Error: Missing Content-type in headers: Status: 304 Not Modified X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3 Script Output:Could you ask you host what could be causing this error, it’s not coming from any of our theme files.

This theme is definitely nice, and very unique! Quick pre-sales question – with this theme, is there any way to allow the social icons to always show and click to hide, instead of hide and click to show (on the footer)?
Yes, I can tell you how to add some code to simulate a click to open the footer box when the page loads.

Hi!
A pre-sale question, my client has a very long logo. Are there any restrictions in width for the logotype in this theme?
Thanks
No, there are no restrictions with the length of the logo, however the site is a fixed size so the more space you have for the logo the less space is available for the main navigation section. You can use less top level nav sections if this is the case.

Hello, I tried to set a mp3 (a small mp3 loop file) in a page but I listen to a gap between the loops…...
It’s a limitation of the audio player script. The only relevant response from the author I found was this. Can you try forcing it to use the Flash player, by editing the file js/scripts.js and search for
wmode: 'window',below this add the line
solution: 'flash, html',Regards, TC
In regards to my question above, I guess I’m trying to get the correct code in order to essentially ‘center’ the page header/title so whenever the page is resized or when swapping browsers, it does not distort or push text to the next line.
Hi, this theme was not designed to be responsive, and I’m assuming that is what you are trying to do. So it’s hard for me to guide you on this. Unless I am mistaken?
What you want to achieve is to have a different font size for the heading depending on the screen size so that it doesn’t drop down a line? You can use CSS media queries to achieve this.
Does that help?

Can anyone help me with what the issue in my code may be – I’m creating everything in Safari on my iMac – yet when I go over to IE – it looks absolutely lousy. Images stretched – font doesn’t show correctly – tons of issues. Any help would be amazing! Thanks a lot. Site is je.mysonorasubaru.com
The code you have added to set the fonts, sets them at sizes 100px and 62px etc, this is far too big for web sites. So I would reduce these sizes if you can

Experiencing an interesting issue after upgrading to version 1.1.1 of Storm theme when viewing my website on an iPad or iPhone. I use an intro page with 6 images (with fade transition function turned on) – however, if I have the Twitter widget enabled in the FooterBox, the intro page does not load properly and jams i.e. does not transition between images. If I remove the Twitter widget, all works fine again. Of note, the twitter widget does not jam up the intro page and image transitions if it is set only to show 1 tweet. If configured to show any more than 1 tweet then the issue returns (would like to be able to display at least 3 tweets). This issue is only apparent on the iPad and iPhone…. all works fine when using Mac/PC with either safari, google chrome or IE.
Any advice about how to correct this issue/bug would be welcomed, as I would really like to use the twitter widget in the Footer Box and to show at least my last 3 tweets again.
Could you please send over administrator login details and your admin URL to the contact form on my profile page.
To keep your website secure, it is best if you could create a temporary user account just for us with the “Administrator” role, which you can then delete when we have resolved your problem.

Hi, I sent you over my admin details. One thing I have just noticed is that if I use an alternative Twitter widget (i.e. Twitter Widget Pro) in the footerbox, it resolves the issue with the intro page not loading properly (jamming) when viewing on the iPhone/iPad. I have left storm-twitter-widget set up on the site I have given you admin access to, just so you can see the issue. Shame, because the storm-twitter-widget is nice & simple (prefer to most others twitter widgets)! Please do let me know should you come up with a solution. Cheers, Justin
I sent you an email about this.

Apologies, see that my above question has already been answered!
just wondering how I can update the Storm theme in wordpress – if i try to install the theme again, get the message that installation failed as directory already exists?
Will i have to intall the updated theme manually?
Does the theme work fine with TimThumb in multisite? Or does it need changing?
It’s not been tested, we don’t use a modified version so it may need changing if TimThumb doesn’t work with WPMS .

Hello there – thanks in advance for the help here..I’m just wondering how to make my site save its layout regardless of how small or large the screen is. If I make the screen smaller – the text is highly distorted and jumbled and the slider is cut off. It also is completely off dimensionally on the iphone. Thanks a lot – I appreciate your help! (je.mysonorasubaru.com)
This website you are referring to is not made from one of our themes. This is our product Storm
TC
Our theme is not responsive, so it can’t change layout on mobile devices, although the text should not be distorted. The slider is not part of our theme, but if you use %-based widths it should scale down on smaller screen, perhaps ask the author of the slider plugin.

Hello Again, I have another question, I tried a lot but could not manage to do it. I want to create a page, this page will be named music and i may also create sub-pages. I want to add this to the menu. Until here its easy. But how can I insert youtube videos, side by side as a in the gallery form ? I mean, the video will be seen in small size and lets say 3 videos in one row, 3 below and so on. and the visitor will be able to play the video he wants..is that possible ?
thanks in advance for your support.. (until today i am ver pleased with the template and your support) thanks again.
You’d need another plugin to embed videos at a specific size. A quick search turned up this plugin.
You can use our column shortcodes to have a 3 column layout for your videos and in each column use the video shortcode from the YouTube plugin. Go to Edit Page -> Click +Shortcodes -> Layout -> Three Columns to insert a 3 column layout.

Thank you for the response. Though I’m not sure how it will be on Slidedeck’s end being it works perfectly on all of my other themes….But I am checking in with them too. Thanks
Hello, how can I update the theme to the latest release without losing the options that I set? I can tell you that I have not changed any original code….. I tried to upload the new release of a new theme folder named storm111 and I see that it no has maintained the same options (logo etc …) and then I re-enabled version 1.0.0
1. Make a backup of the theme and database just incase something goes wrong.
2. Make a note of any files you have changed within the “storm” folder and make sure you have a copy of the file locally
3. Activate another theme e.g. TwentyEleven, then delete the “Storm” theme. This will delete the theme files, but keep your theme settings in the database.
4. Upload and install the latest version of our theme.
5. Merge any changes you made to files within the “storm” folder to the files in the new version. You may get away with using your full modified version of the file you changed if not much or nothing has changed. See the changelog for which files have changed.

Hi guys, How can i add a second line under the global navigation menu. I want the tab name for example “Home” and under home to have 3-4 words of description but i want to be under the tab? Please let me know.
Give this code a shot and see if is what you are looking for…
First you need to go into your menu section in WP, when you click on a navigation item it will open up options, in ” Navigation Label” add a span with the a class (xtra-txt) and your text inside.
eg: Home<span class="xtra-txt">hello</span>
Now add the following CSS into the Theme options – Advanced – Custom CSS :
ul.primary-menu li a {position: relative; }
ul.primary-menu li a span.xtra-txt {
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 20px;
font-size: 10px;
display: block;
}
You could choose to show the text only on hover by using this code, I added an animation too:
ul.primary-menu li a {position: relative; }
ul.primary-menu li a span.xtra-txt {
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
left: 15px;
font-size: 10px;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transition: all 1s linear;
-moz-transition: all 1s linear;
-ms-transition: all 1s linear;
-o-transition: all 1s linear;
transition: all 1s linear;
}
ul.primary-menu li a:hover span.xtra-txt {
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
left: 20px;
}

Hello – I like this theme – though the YOUTUBE PLAY BUTTON WILL NOT WORK . If I deactivate this theme and use any other theme – it works perfectly fine. Please help. The site is: je.mysonorasubaru.com (Yes the link works – and it redirects to youtube – though I’m trying of course to get it to play in the same window.)
Thanks a lot!
There is a JavaScript error when clicking the play video link
TypeError: cover.prev(".video-container").attr("id") is undefined related to the SlideDeck plugin. I can’t see a reason why it would be caused by our theme. Can you ask the author of that plugin what could cause the error.

Hi again, this time I wanted to collect all of my questions, and submit them at once instead of bombarding you with several messages. Thank you in advance.
1- YouTube videos are not loading up in portfolio pages when I set the type as video. The same video plays fine if I set it up as a background video, neither lighthouse or serene portfolio view for videos work for me. When I click on the portfolio item, it is supposed to play the video in the lighthouse display (or serene), but instead the wait wheel keeps turning, but nothing happens. Images shows up with no problem when I set it up in the portfolio. 2- Is it possible to have a separate hover over icon for video and images in portfolios. The standard for the video play is the triangle icon, but with this theme all media is using the magnifying glass icon. 3-Is it possible to show captions for background images on other pages as well. Currently, it is only working on the intro and home page.
1. Can you send me a link to the page? Either here or through the contact form on my profile page.
2. I’ll find out if we can do this for you.
3. This was deliberately made this way, it doesn’t work well when the page has content area. In the documentation see the section “Different background image settings per page (advanced)” to show the captions on all pages, you can use this code
add_filter('tcr_singular-page_background_options', 'storm_set_background_options');
function storm_set_background_options($options)
{
$options['alwaysShowCaptions'] = true;
return $options;
}Regards, TC
Thank you for your reply.
1- Since we are in the development stage, and don’t have a publicly available access, we cannot really send you a link to demonstrate this problem. However, it looks like the problem is solved after doing the following steps. Step1. Deactivated all plugins. Result:Both Vimeo and YouTube videos worked they were supposed to. Step2. Enabled plugins again one by one. Result: couldn’t single out a single plugin caused this issue. But video’s continued to work with one minor issue. Step3. Found out that quform’s Enable lightbox script (Fancybox) setting was causing confusion , and when I clicked on a vimeo video it was playing the last you tube video. When I unchecked this setting, this problem also went away.
2. I appreciate you checking on this for us. I think this will be a good add on to your theme as well.
3. I will try that code snippet you provided. thank you
4. One last question on videos. The video we are playing on the intro page is having a long pause with video play icon on the display before redirecting to the page selected. Is there way to reduce this wait time? It is not a smooth transition for sure to the next page. Thanks
One more on the video problem. Youtube short link string doesn’t work, but long string works on the lightbox popup window. Both strings works for the background playback. I thought you may want to know about this as well.
1. Thanks, I will look into this.
2. We will release an update with this change, we’ll try and get it out as soon as we can.
4. You could make it hide the video while the redirect is taking place, there is no way to speed up the redirect, it’s the same speed as if you clicked a link. To hide the video, edit the file js/scripts.js find this line:
window.location = tcrL10n.video.redirect;below this add the code
$videoWrap.remove();Regards, TC
The theme on that site is not ours.
Regards, TC
Solved by myself. If I add a PAGE then set it to Blog Page by using the Setting>Reading , then the Background won’t show! I have to use the shortcode to make the PAGE a “blog” , then everything is Fine.
Glad you fixed it, I will see if there is a problem with the theme, thanks.
Regards, TC
