Hi Saurabh,

Is there a way to insert you tube videos instead of the images at the slider show in the home page?

Regards

Hello eitayz,

The Flex Slider used in this theme supports Vimeo Videos. You can also insert multiple Vimeo videos inside same slider. YouTube is not supported because when multiple videos are inserted, they all play at once without pausing others.

For a video slide, you can use this short code:

[slider]
[slide_video src="39683393"]
[slide_video src="39683395"]
[/slider]

Where src=”” parameter is the video ID on vimeo.com. For example: http://vimeo.com/39683393

Regards

Hi Saurabh, Thank you for the feast replay. One more question please if I may.. If I would like to use Vimeo can I change the size of the imported video?

Regards

Hello eitayz,

Since Flex Slider is a ‘Responsive’ slider, video will automatically inherit 100% width, and auto height. If you wrap the slider short code inside any column shortcode, for example [half], it will automatically inherit available width. So, width will always remain 100% and height will be adjust in proportion.

Regards

Hello Saurabh

Now my site is working fine and thanks so much for your help and support.

Regards Athif

You’re welcome, Athif.

I have installed the theme and everything is fine except that I don’t know how to add products in the featured products carousel.When ever I add a product it goes to new arrivals carousel.

Hello athifmohamed,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

In order to set a product as “Featured Product”, navigate to WooCommerce Products > Products. In front of each product list, there are star icons. If you click on that icon, it will turn into a dark grey star. (Which means the product is set as featured).

You can also set it as featured by clicking on the “Quick Edit” link on product list, and enabling the “Featured Product” checkbox inside that.

Once you have set 3-4 products as featured, they will automatically appear in place where you have used the [featured_product] short code. I hope that will help.

Hello I am interested of this theme! But I have a small question … Is it possible to switch from das. Responsive Designe? I want to die on mobile devices website SEE How On the desktop computer … regards

Hello fUSCO1350,

Thanks for browsing the theme.

Responsive CSS can be disabled inside Theme Options panel. Upon disabling responsive CSS, the site will show same in desktop and mobile devices.

hi saurabh,

I want to show product categories on frontpage (on page “HOME”), to replace the recent products and featured products carousel, lets say 8 column with 8 categories. can I do that with short code? thanks. #sorry for language barrier :)

Hello conradsharry,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

Product categories can be shown using the [product_categories] short code. You can add this short code inside a carousel for a scrolling list of 8 items. For example:

[carousel]
[product_categories number="8"]
[/carousel]

If you do not wish to use carousel, simply place the [product_categories number="8"] short code. You can find more information on short codes here.

Hi Saurabh, What an incredibly intelligent design and functionality. I am strongly considering buying your theme for my portal.

I have 3 quick Q: if I may:

1) Since I will be using lots of video posts in addition/or instead of pictures can I add videos (youtube and/or html embed codes) instead of pictures in the shopping modules.

2) Can I add videos in the product description sections of a particular product page(s)?

3) Can I add advertising/banners sections in the top and throughout the site?

Best Regards, TMS11

Hello tms11,

Thanks for the kind feedback and browsing my theme. Please find my answers below to your queries:

1. WooCommerce supports only image thumbnails for shopping products and image galleries. Videos can be inserted inside product description, but may not appear in place of image thumbnails.

2. Yes, videos can be added to product description. If you wish to show videos separately inside a tab, that can be done using WooCommerce video product tab plugin.

3. Yes, advertisements can be added using a ‘Text Widget’ inside any of the available widget areas. The theme supports widget areas inside header section (right side of logo), sidebar, and the secondary area (just above the footer).

For videos, if you wish to show non-shopping product galleries, you can make use of the blog template. That supports video thumbnails using video post formats.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions. I would be glad to respond.

Regards

Great theme, I was wondering if there is a way to do this.

I want to have a left and right side bar, but I want the left sidebar to be below the slider pages where I have the slider (ie home, store, etc) and if possible foe it to be a custom sidebar also for select pages or a generic one if i don’t make it a custom for that page.

Regards

Hello mofoparrot,

Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback.

The theme supports only one sidebar (either in left or right side). But for your requirement, there can be a workaround. You can use Widgets on Pages plugin and insert widgets inside a column short code in your page. For example:

[slider short code ..]

[one_fourth]
- widgets from plugin here -
[/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last]
- other content -
[/three_fourth_last]

Using one_fourth and three_fourth short code, you can organize widgets on left side, below the slider. Whereas on right side, rest of the site content and default sidebar will appear. I hope that will help.

Hi, since the update of Wordpress (3.5), my frontpage doubled. I have a slider, 2 carousel and a text box. If I only put the slider and text, the main page is OK. If I add a carousel, my page is duplicate.

Hello secureip,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

Front page double content shall not be caused due to WP upgrade. One of the buyers had same issue when using WPML plugin. The WPML staff fixed this for him. I’m not sure if you are using multi-language plugin. In either case, kindly send me your site URL and WP login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it.

Regards

Many thanks Mark and SaurabhSharma. I will be purchasing the theme today :-D ! To make it easier in setting up the design, does is include the demo content? If not, not a problem as I should be able to do it myself quickly.

Many thanks,

NP

Hello NP,

Dummy content is available in .xml and .txt format. Images shown on live demo are not included with the download. For theme installation and configuration, you can go through the documentation file provided inside the download ZIP. For any other queries, you can post a comment here, or send me a mail from my profile message box.

Regards

I just noticed that the quality of the images is a bit grainy on the shop page as compared to the single product page when viewing on a mobile device … can’t quite figure out why this is happening. Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Hello Matthew,

Shop product thumbnails are reduced in size from main product image via CSS. It may not appear as crispy as original image. You can check image settings inside WooCommerce > Settings > Catalog > Image Options. Make sure the single product image is at least 370px or more. You can also enable hard crop mode if you wish to.

Further, while setting a featured image, make sure you choose the “full-width” option, and not medium or small. If none of these works, kindly send me your site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Regards

Hi niteshnp2001

im not the author, but i can answer these for you.

Iam running WP3.5 and XING, no problems.

there are no extensions needed to be purchased to get the demo as it is.

on another point, you get great support from the author, even when it has nothing to do with XING and is a more of a WP or Woo support question.

Hope you dont mind me butting in with my comments, but you wont go far wrong with this theme.

there’s great docs as well

Good luck

Mark

Hello Mark,

Thanks a lot for responding. Your kind words and feedback is truly appreciated.

Hi,

Firstly, great looking theme. Only a few pre-sales questions:

- Is the theme fully compatible with Wordpress 3.5; - Is the theme compatible with the latest version of Wordpress 3.5. and the latest version of the woocommerce plugin; Do any paid extensions/plugins used in the demo have to be purchased separately;

I think that’s mainly it.

Many thanks in advance,

NP

Hello NP,

Thanks for browsing the theme.

Yes it is fully compatible with latest version of WordPress (3.5) and WooCommerce (1.6.6). As shown on live demo, no third party extensions are used for shopping features except WooCommerce.

Other plugins used are WP Page Navi for pagination, and Contact Form 7 for optional contact form demo.

Regards

Hi

reference above, its not a XING issue, as its the same on a woo default theme, my style.

Hope you can offer some advice though.

It needs to call the JS i suppose for showing the “add to cart” after upload.

Normally i suppose its not an issue as if all the variations are are selected by default, i suppose it is a simple product and not a variable one. It just the way I have to get this set up, as my variation are going to be changing.

Mark

Hello Mark,

In recent release of WooCommerce (1.6.6), there was a fix for variation attribute saving issue. If using latest version of WC, you can reset and clear transient cache inside WooCommerce > System Status > Tools. Click on “Clear Transients” and “Reset Capabilities”. This may fix the problem.

You can also test by creating a fresh new product and assigning some variations. If variations are not linked properly, or not set properly with each property, it may not show the button. I hope clearing the cache will solve the issue.

Regards

WooCommerce > System Status > Tools. Click on “Clear Transients”

that worked

thanks

Hi

Got a problem with the variation and the default setting. When the variation are set to a default setting, it is not showing the “add to cart” you have to either, clear selection, and re-seect all variations, or clear the selection of just one variation and then re-select that variation fpr the “add to cart” to show

Really would appreciate help as im showing my boss tomorrow

Thanks

Hi Couple of presales questions…

This is probably one of the most corporate looking themes I can find with a product showcase. (or can make it look it that way fairly easily). I Used one if the RT-themes for my client before and he wants a new site, I wont be using the Ecommerce portion of it..

Here is the question LOL. can I turn all the ecommerce stuff off. and have it look okay, there’s going to be 100 products or so..

Hello kerilighting,

Thanks for browsing the theme and providing kind feedback.

Shopping features can be disabled in two ways:

1. By not using the WooCommerce plugin. If there is no plugin, the site will be a normal Corporate theme with blog, portfolio and other features. You can use portfolio templates to show case your products.

2. By using WooCommerce plugin, but hiding shopping elements like accounts bar on top-right corner, price labels, add-to-cart buttons, etc. These can be done using simple display:none CSS hack. I can help you with that.

You can also use a WooCommerce extension—Catalog Visibility Options. This can provide more options for hiding shopping cart and allowing only authenticated users to shop.

Regards

Hey I was wondering if you could do something on this theme for me. I was the one helping some customers for you a while back :) Email me if you get a chance russoanthony@hotmail.com

Hello russoanthony,

Sent you an email. Kindly let me know how can I help you.

Regards

Hey! Is there anyway to add more rows for featured products without showing the exact same products on all rows?

Many thanks!

Hello adrianoveram,

If featured products are shown in carousel, they will reside in one single row. You can have multiple rows by removing the carousel short code. For example:

[featured_products per_page="12" columns="4" orderby="date" order="desc"]

This short code will generate 3 rows of 4 items each. If the same short code is wrapped within [carousel] short code, they will all reside in same row.

The “Offset” parameter is not supported in [featured_products] short code. Otherwise that could be used to skip particular number of featured products in another carousel.

Regards

so you think this is a woocommerce thing?

I think so as i changed to a woo theme and still the same issue

Mark

Hello Mark,

This may happen with default twentyten theme too. As I mentioned earlier, the theme doesn’t override any core functionality of the plugin. Those drop-down options are generated via plugin. I’m waiting if they release an update for WP3.5. :)

Regards

Hi

Great to see your sales are going well.

I have an issue that iam not sure if it is xing or woo. Variation dont work on an ipad.

http://streetorchard.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/photo.png

It seems fine on iphone an browser. The problem seems to be that it is showing all variations, regardless if it is there or not. usually when one variation is set and you go to the next drop down it greys out variation that are not available after your first selection. On the ipad it does not and shows all the variation.

here is the product http://streetorchard.co.uk/product/apple-tree/apple-malus-adams-pearmain/

the problem off course is if you run a store with variations, my customers cant use an ipad to order

thanks

mark

Hello Mark,

That could be related to the plugin, as we are not overriding any core functionality of the plugin. It may also happen if you are choosing “barefoot” from first drop-down and leaving second one unset. In that case, the form drop-down will show all options active. I have tested with different configurations, and it seems to disable other options appropriately.

Kindly let me know if this doesn’t work with choosing different options.

Regards

I have been trying to get a hold with the developer of this theme to discuss the possibility of custom category query, but have heard nothing back.

Hello insiteadvice,

I received your mail on Nov 21, and replied on the same day with the solution. May be the mail arrived in your spam folder and you were unable to see it. I have forwarded it to your mail address again. I try to respond within 12 to 20 hours (unless any emergency). :)
