Presale questions:

Can the slider link to a url or only lightbox gallery? Can we use fullwidth google map and an open contact (not click to open) form beneath? Can we use Contact form 7 and get the same styling/responsivness as your form? Can we choose Google fonts? Can we use image class “pretty” or similar to get CSS frames and or hover effects on images?

Thanks!

Hi Merkur-Trykk,

Slider image can be link to everything you want. If there is no URL defined, slide is opened in lighbox.

No you can’t. Full width contact page must have pop-up on click.

I’m not an expert on Contact Form 7, but I can only hope it’s responsive…

Yes, main titles are Google Web Fonts.

We’re using prettyPhoto for lighbox effect. You can assign this effect to any A element (link). You can check it’s documentation (demo) page to see all of possibilities http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/

Thank you!

Can we use a CSS class to get CSS based frames on a single image placed in WP editor?

Can we get Lightbox for a single image or only for galleries?

Not understand this
Can we use a CSS class to get CSS based frames on a single image placed in WP editor?

You can use prettyPhoto (lightbox clone). You have to insert prettyPhoto for Link Rel attribute in image Advanced settings… ( http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/landscape-4/ )

Hi, there. This is a pretty awesome themes! But I have some question about this themes. 1. Sometimes, on the blog list, the text “COMMENT” under the date, will excess the gray gird. like:http://siyiwang.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/1.png http://siyiwang.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2.png 2. When I click the author’s name of a comment, it will go to another website or a strange ip address. How can I restrict to a specific php file when I click the author’s name? 3.Can those blog list pages like blog-1 show specific category? 4.How can I show the recent posts on the home page content instead of using widgets?

Thanks a lot!

Hi

1) Sorry, but I can’t open these screenshots :(

2) Try to find some plugin for that. I’m using default WP function for authors name / URL

3) If you’re using page, you can select what ever category you want (there is a drop down list o all the categories below page editor). Another way is to bring category to WP Menu.

4) You can use portfolio shortcode for that (I’ve added blog categories compatibility few weeks ago)

Hello There, love the theme and finding it easy to alter for my needs. I do have one question please – on the demo home page the icons boxes have a colour roller that changes the colour of the text. Is it possible for the icons to change colour also on roller over? I appreciate that I would need to create inverted versions of the icons but would really like to get this working.

Thanks very much

Hi May,

yes, you should create inverted icons, but thats only the easy part :(

Next you should create some Extra JavaScript (jQuery) which should replace existing image on hover and get the original one on hover out. And you should do it for each icon.

This is one hour job for someone with basic jQuery knowledge, but it’s beyond our support.

I hope you understand our position…

Hello,

I am wondering how do I disable the mobile site navigation menu on mobile devices and use the original menu?

Thanks

Hi birolaksu,

to disable drop down menu on mobile devices, you’ll have to edit javascript/header.js and replace
    $(window).scroll(function(){
        if (!(is_touch_device())) header_transform();            

    })
with
    $(window).scroll(function(){
        header_transform();            
    })

Next, in css/style.css from @media queries (near the end of the file) delete (on 2 places)

#primary-menu select { display:block; }
#primary-menu ul { display:none; }

I think that’s all…

Hi! I am having a problem with the sizes of ‘extra image’ images on the portfolio pages. Once you’ve clicked the thumbnail, and have entered the individual portfolio pages, the images never come up to the size i’ve uploaded them, which makes them blurry. Is this coded in, and how do I get my images to show the size I’ve uploaded them (or what is the optimal size I should use)

All images are 100% wide. This is why you should use at least 630px wide images for sliders…

Hello there! I really like this theme its super awesome! But I need your help… My blog is written and shown in Hebrew language (Right-to-Left) and is there anyway to make the theme work with this language? its kinda broken when I switch to he_IL language on wordpress. thanks!

Hi shakedex,

sorry, but I have no experience in RTL language settings for WP :(

I’m setting up my contact page and I want to be able to have people send me a message that I will receive through email. I’m having difficulty setting up the message box where people can write their message. I have 2 boxes set up for their name, email. But can’t figure out how to get the message box set up where they can write their message. I think I just might be confused how to do this all together.

You have to choose TEXTAREA for 3rd field in Brankic Panel -> Contact

I love your home page setup. I want a video to show at the top (where your slideshow is) and a few blog posts to appear underneath that.We’re not using the recent work/portfolio right now, neither the services. How should I build this page?

Open the page you set for Front page displays in HTML editor and paste embed code for your video. Replace width of the video to 100% (instead of value in px).

Switch back to Visual editor and use portfolio shortcode and select blog category…

Couple more things.

1. How do you make a video the featured image? Have tried featured image/from url/ video but it isn’t working for some reason. 2. I can’t seem to get the different blog1, blog2 , blog 3 layouts to work either.

Much thanks!

Hi,

1) you must use Brankic Custom Field – Video URL (below the editor)

2) Not sure why you can’t use it. It’s set in Brankic Panel -> Blog (it’s working just fine now. In the past it wasn’t working if you brought category to the WP Menu)

Yeah,

Tried both of those methods, still no dice. Even tried downloading and installing a new version of the theme…

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

ps: since we’ve been out of office in last 2 weeks, there are 100+ emails in my inbox, so your email will be answered in a couple of days…

When creating the portfolio, how do I remove the title names from below each picture?

I’m using blog template 3 and when I choose the featured image its the original size on the blog page which is too large. Is there an issue why it isn’t showing as a default size and/or how do I fix this?

I’m not sure if you received my email? I sent it through the form on the side?

Hi,

sorry but I don’t have any email with your username in my inbox :(

Form is on http://themeforest.net/user/Brankic1979 on the right hand side near the end of the page “Email Brankic1979”

Wow! Ok, I just emailed you again. :)

Hi!

Is there a way to change the default video (vimeo) size at the portfolio items? The default size is a little bit too high so every video gets black borders on top and bottom.

Thanks in advance!

Michiel

Hi Michiel,

You can do it in single-portfolio_item.php (Appearance -> Editor) Change

height="400"
to some other value…

Hi BigBang,

I having a problem with the controlers of images in portafolio when I have two images with differents sizes for example 784×590 and 785×1188, the controlers of images go down to place of the higher size image, here you have the example http://locarmen.com/wordpress/?portfolio_item=white-events Is there any way to fit the controlers to the images when you have different sizes? I hope you understand. The password to get into wordpress admin is the same i sent to you in case you need to get in. Thanks. Javier

If you have images of different sizes (which I highly not recommend from design point of view) you can’t use slide effect on slider, but fade. To change that, go to Appearance -> Editor -> slider.inc.php and near the end of the file, change animation (for portfolio slider) from slide to fade.

Never mind about my first question. I tested the theme on my smart phone and it does indeed resize.

I’m not sure if you noticed, but the left arrow on image modal is buggy, it doesn’t transition as smoothly as the right arrow. How can I solve that?

Hi olivah,

we can’t notice this buggy transition. Printscreen please?

Hi

I’m not sure if someone has asked this question already, but I’ve noticed that the theme is not responsive at all. When I resize my browser window the theme does not resize itself. Why?

Thanks in advance

Hi olivah,

nobody asked that because this doesn’t happen in any of supported browsers.

What browser you’re using? Try to remove header frame while testing…

I’m trying to add my portfolio page and everything looks as it should (3 columns and circle preview shapes) in “preview.” However, when I “publish” the page, everything reverts to the default blog mode.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

This is because of your permalink settings. I guess you’re having the same name (slug) for your portfolio page and blog category and in that case blog layout has priority.

Hello B, Theme looks great. Think of purchasing . Is it possible to turn off the main image slider on the home page and just have the masonry portfolio showing? tks

Hi,

one of the default WP options is to use any static page for front page. It’s easy not to have slider on any page.

My twitter feed is not showing up even though I have input all of the information into the Brankic twitter widget. Just the title that I enter is there, not my tweets. What is going on?

It’s working just fine with username BeesKneesCustom (it’s right now on our Live preview in the footer http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/ )

hmm I am not sure why my page is showing up blank. You can view my page at dev.beeskneescustomdesign.com to see the problem.

Try to disable any other Twitter widget you’re using because it looks there is a conflict…

I am working on getting my portfolio page set up. I’ve having difficulties with getting my portfolio categories to align instead of dropping down below the previous category. There is also some work in multiple categories and I only want them to appear once on the page. I am adding each category individually. Is there a way to add them all at once to avoid this? I hope this makes sense.

May I see the URL ?

If one portfolio item/post in more than one category it will be shown only once.

Don’t forget to arrange categories, so you have one parent category (which you select in shortcode) and as many as you want children categories (filters)

Awesome! I figured it out. Thanks!!

Hi boy, I’ve another little question: I don’t find the shortocode to make thumb squared, with same widht and height :crying:

Thanks

There is no shortcode for that. Before uploading featured image you should edit image on your computer.

Or you can use your existing featured images and define height in portfolio shortcode.

what plugin would you recommend for embedding youtube video into page?

There are so many plugins out there. Personally I wouldn’t use any of them but default HTML editor and embeded code.

I love your home page setup. I want a video to show at the top (where your slideshow is) and a few blog posts to appear underneath that.We’re not using the recent work/portfolio right now, neither the services. How should I build this page?

Open the page you set for Front page displays in HTML editor and paste embed code for your video. Replace width of the video to 100% (instead of value in px).

Switch back to Visual editor and use portfolio shortcode and select blog category…
