Hello!

How can I put the Social Media icons in the top of the template? I’d like to have the social media icons in the menu area or near that. it’s posible?

Another question. Where I can see the footer menu in the wordpress admin panel? How can I modify this footer?

And the last question… Apart from the help archive in the ZIP, do you have any help or support documentation? Maybe any tutorial?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can’t put anything to header because there is no header sidebar :(

Footer is managed with widgets (Appearance -> Widgets)

Help file in ZIP and FAQ http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/faq/2826493 . Of course don’t hesitate to ask anything which is not covered with help file and FAQ. I don’t expect users to read whole this thread (only FAQ)

Hi Can you add a photostream widget (e.g. pinterest) to the home page? Where do the pinterest images come from – eg can you nominate different boards as streams and have them show as a masonry gallery?

Hi,

you can insert photostream shortcode on any page you want. Pinterest images comes from some users account. So you must know Pinterest username.

To use custom page for Front page, go to Settings -> Reading (Static page)

Amazing theme! I have a small question. In your demo at the end of every article on the blog section you have the like facebook button, twitter and google+ . I don`t know from where to activate that. I want the same thing, please let me know how i do it.

Amazing theme! I love it! Liviu

Hi,

Thanks!

In Brankic Panel -> Blog there is an option for showing/hide sharing option. This option is used both for posts and portfolio posts.

Hi thanks for the great theme. I was just wondering, is there any way to use a regular (static) page as a portfolio item? I require the additional options that a page offers over a portfolio item.

Cheers

Hi,

sorry, but you can’t do that :(

You can have portfolio item, or normal post, but no page :(

On portfolio images is it possible to disable the click-through to displaying the image in a browser window?

On blog pages is it possible to have multiple slider images click through to the post rather than bring up a prettyphoto lightbox?

On portfolio pages is there a way to use categories to have a list of relevant blog posts display beneath the image slider (as you can on the homepage using shortcode)? I’ve tried to use the shortcode in the ‘extra HTML’ box but no luck, perhaps unsurprisingly!

All my thanks in advance.

Huge thanks for your quick reply – extra javascript works brilliantly and yes, I wondered if that third ask was pushing it too far! If you could send me any examples of how the ‘extra html’ box on the portfolio pages can be used I’d be incredibly grateful.

Also I love the new masonry effect, so stylish. I can’t seem to find that option on the shortcodes button drop down in the editor (I updated to the most recent update a few weeks ago) where would I find it/be able to use it please? Apologies if I’m being blind!

All my thanks for your time as ever!

Hi,

Extra HTML box is suitable for video embed code or some JavaScript.

Masonry effect has always been there. It’s a portfolio shortcode button. Featured images should have different size for best masonry layout…

I hope this makes sense…

Many thanks – how do I select the masonry effect?

How do I make a portfolio within the hexagon/circle etc? When I add photos they just come out massive rather than nicely cropped.

If you’re using shapes, you have to crop featured images on your computer before uploading them. Best results you’ll have with landscape orientation, but I suggest to make them square.

In portfolio shortcode pop-up window you can choose shape…

Hi,

The contact form is not working. I have set up as instructed in the help file but I do not receive any emails after a message is submitted. Can you help?

Many thanks,

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.

I am new to WP. I have managed to upload the bigbang theme however my chosen colour theme (green). Could you please advise how to rectify this. The site appears here www.thereflexionszone.com

Hi,

In your Dashboard you’ll see Brankic Panel. There are options for color, logo…

Hi. I searched all the comments but couldn’t find this. How do I remove “Comments Off” text and “Posted by Admin” text on the blog display page and single post views???

I am using page blog 2.

Thanks!

Hi,

May I see the URL of your blog page so I could send you Extra CSS/JavaScript for hiding this…

I want “Comment Off” and “Posted by Allister Lee removed from these two pages.

http://allisterlee.ca/?page_id=1676 http://allisterlee.ca/?p=2036

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Hi,

it looks your domain has expired :(

Hello. Can i include video into Flexslide on homepage?

Hi flaster,

sorry, but no videos in our theme can be added to slider…

also, is there a way for the flickr photo shortcode to display a certain set, tag or album from twitter instead of the whole user photostream? it is very unorganized if the whole photostream is loaded unfiltered.

thanks a lot :)

Hi,

sorry, but it can’t be done in current version. I’ll try to develop Flickr specific plugin, but right now I’m overwhelmed with works, rehab (after knee surgery) and some personal stuff…

hi, i have added portfolio items and they display correctly on the page where i inserted the shortcode, but when i click their detail link, the individual item (portfolio single post) doesn’t show (‘No posts were found.’ message).

try here: http://www.stefan-reindl.com/art/

thanks for a quick reply!

Hi,

it’s because of permalinks and how WP manage slugs. Try this. Add
flush_rewrite_rules();
to bra_theme_functions.php (Appearance -> Editor) in function create_post_type(), so it should look like this
function create_post_type() {
    register_post_type( 'portfolio_item',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Portfolio Items' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Portfolio Item' ),
                'add_item' => __('New Portfolio Item'),
                'add_new_item' => __('Add New Portfolio Item'),
                'edit_item' => __('Edit Portfolio Item')
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            //'rewrite' => false,

            'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio'),
            'menu_position' => 5,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'supports' => array('author', 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields', 'revisions', 'post-formats', 'comments')

        )
    );
flush_rewrite_rules();
}

Please let me know if this is working…

Or, 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

I tried to create a web site looks like yours in the demo. I added portfolio on the home but the images don’t appear. Here is the website i’m working on www.jdigital.com.au. Please let me know how to fix it asap. Thanks!

It looks you’ve managed this out.

The social icon shortcode doesn’t seem to work inside the “text widget” description field. How come you have this working on your live preview? is there anything i’m doing wrong? I would also like the social icon shortcode on all the page templates. Can i simply add this on the page-template.php? Thanks

Hi,

in latest update, you can use shortcodes in text widget.

But I’m using widget which is in folder “plugins” in the ZIP you’ve downloaded. Install that plugin, and you’ll have new widget which you can add to any sidebar…

Hello,

Is it possible to add code to make the entire orange portfolio preview box clickable to the portfolio item instead of just the Title and the link in the bottom right corner?

Thanks so much.

Hi rm4,

sorry, it’s very hard to achieve. We’ve tried this but there are so many CSS declarations involved…

Hello – where can I change the color of the category name and the portfolio item title hover effect when rolling over an item on the portfolio page?

I tried to see if I could find the CSS pertaining to that part with Firebug, but since the whole thing is a rollover, Firebug won’t let me isolate it to see where the color code is coming from. Thanks!

Hi,

when you open Firebug window, you can click on any element and expand it to see hidden elements.

Add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel (and change color codes)
.item-info h4, .item-info-overlay h4 {
  color: #444444;
}
.item-info-overlay h3.title a {
  color: #FFFFFF;
}

I hope this helps…

That worked, thanks! I have a hard time using Firebug sometimes, will try to read more about it :-)

Firebug is very powerful plugin and it helps a lot when you have to try something (because you can try new CSS styles, delete HTML elements, tweak scripts…)

Hi,

I would like to know how I can make a slideshow with some pictures in main page. And I also want to make the main page like yours (http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/) only I want to put centered title and slideshow. I am a beginner so it would be good for me if you explain very easily. Thank you!

First you have to create PAGE which will be your home page. Add Extra images and you’ll have slider (below the Featured image).

After that choose that page for static front page in Setings -> Reading.

Below the editor are Brankic Custom Fields where you can hide default title, and add centered one…

I hope this makes sense…

I understand that its not possible to place a video in the slider.

However, if i purchased an alternative slider plugin from, for example, CodeCanyon, would it be possible to utilise that slider with this theme?

Hi,

99% it is possible, but please first try with some free slider plugin…

Is there a support forum for this theme?

As it’s mentioned in help file, we provide support over this discussion board, or via email form on our profile page http://themeforest.net/user/Brankic1979

hi,

how can I add a second contact form on another page?

Can you please help?

No you can’t.

However you can use some contact form plugin…
