HI, can i change or modify the color of one button?

With basic CSS knowledge and Extra CSS in Brankic Panel it’s a piece of cake. If you show me the URL with that button, I’ll send you the code…

Hey,

Thanks again for your all your help. I have a question in regards to this page:

http://test.mikelawrenceillustration.com/contact/

I am wanting to have the contact form on the right, with a square sized image slider on the left. However whenever I insert a featured image it simply sits above the contact form but on the left. And if any extra images are set there is no slider.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you want slider on the left, you should use some plugin for that (our sliders are always on the top).

Yep, there is no slider possible on our contact page.

I was wondering if anyone is using the nextgen gallery plugin with the theme and having difficulties attaching extra images within the portfilio items option?

I just purchased this theme, and am trying to set up my portfolio pages. However, the portfolio templates are not listed as an option when I create a new page. I only see the default template, and the six blog options.

How can I access the other templates that are supposed to be included with this theme?

I found that area, but even when I added the Portfolio shortcode to the designated page.

[bra_portfolio title=’Portfolio’ cat_id=’56’ no=’-1’ show_filters=’yes’ columns=’4’ shape=’’ height=’’ hover=’yes’]

However, it still doesn’t appear the way it does in your live demo. My portfolio items appear similar to the blog template instead:

Hi,

this happens if you have the same slugs for page and category and if you’re using last Permalink setting (this is how WP handles this).

Change page slug (to folio) and update permalink settings and it should work…

Hello Brankic,

This theme is wonderful. Is it possible to randomize the order of items in the portfolio? Or possibly a shuffle button? Thank you.

Hi,

no shuffle button, but you can randomize the order. You have to edit bra_shortcodes.php
function Bra_portfolio
...
...
...
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'DESC',
To see all orderby and order values, visit http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

Hi Brankic, just get this sleek wp template. I have 1 quick question: don’t wanna to stretch the entire wp website but instead align everything in the center, just like this: http://demo.brankic.net/?theme=BigBangWP

Anyway great work!

Hi,

please remove top frame when you want to post a URL from Live preview :)

Please be more specific on aligning issue…

I understand removing the top frame everything will be stretched. E.g. the banner will be align to the left, etc. Is there a way that I could align everything in the center? just like the link with the top frame yet without having the top frame visible to viewers.

Should I edit the style.css or style-stretched.css?

I still don’t quite understand what you want to achieve.

If you want to change default layout, you should hire freelancer with basic HTML/CSS knowledge…

i know more of a google bug, but anyone have a good trick if the my local font is messing with the google web font api? its making the light and bold versions cut in half. i don’t like the idea of uninstalling or disable / hiding the font, because others users of my site won’t know (want to do that) to view the site. i know it has to do with the url( vs local( loading, but not sure how that works with this theme.

thanks!

Hi,

one of the basic rules is NOT TO USE LOCAL FONTS.

We can’t offer full support on this kind of issue, so you should hire freelancer… (1 hr job max)

i dont want to use local fonts. i want to use the google web font. the local font is overriding the web font. does this make sense?

Hi,

Google Web Fonts are used only in some sections of website. May I see the URL with this issue you have?

It seems to me that the “next” and “previous” arrows in portfolio items go in reverse order. For instance if I am here: http://paulbcummings.com/commercials/ and then click the first item, which brings me here: http://paulbcummings.com/portfolio/reel/

The only arrow I’m presented with is one that points backwards (to the left), essentially. It does bring me to the “next” video in my list, but it’s the direction of the arrow that I find counter intuitive. Is there a way to change that? Sorry if this is a convoluted question. Maybe I’m just interpreting it wrong.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi,

this is how WP next/previous works :)http://codex.wordpress.org/Next_and_Previous_Links

You can try to play around with changing it in single-portfolio_item.php
<?php previous_post_link_plus(array....
...
<?php next_post_link_plus(array

4) Can I have the portfolio icon on each portfolio item page link back to a sub category within the portfolio rather than the “all” category?

5) Can I have the whole of an image on portfolio page link to the detailed page with no zoomin button?

6) Can I remove the division at the bottom of all pages with tweets, photo stream etc?

It would be great if you could answer these questions today as I am in bit of a hurry. Thanks!

4. You can choose any page for this button on each portfolio page.

5. Yes – http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/column-4/column-3/

6. Each DIV element can be hidden with some Extra CSS (providing full support on this kind of issues)

Hi,

I really like the theme but I have following questions before buying:

1) Is it possible to get rid of the home page altogether? I want the portfolio page to be the home page.

2) Is it possible to add an extra page wide text widget below the main image on the detailed portfolio item page? I have some projects with content worth 2-3 pages long. Also, can I have the main image on the left instead of right?

3) Can I have .swf files? I did see an example for swf files, but just want to confirm that again.

Hi,

1. In WordPress you can set any page for front page (Settings -> Reading)

2. You can try this with some plugin. You can’t switch sides :(

3. http://demo.brankic.net/bigbangwp/portfolio/exercitatio-optimus-magister-est-swf/

Hi there, Having an issue with my site sugarandtype.com i want to have 4 column (icon boxes) at the bottom but it seems to be broken, i have four in the code but it only shows three. Thank you!

Thank you – I’m actually just looking to have four across – instead of three which it has now….. The “captions” are part of the image so I don’t need another caption… I can change it for SEO but still need to have four images across…..

any suggestions for that? Thank you

Our scripts look for captions, and if there is nothing in 4th icon box, it shows only 3.

To disable this behaviour, you’ll have to edit javascript/custom.js and delete
    if (icon_boxes_4_h2 == "" && icon_boxes_4_p == ""){
        $("ul.grid.row4.services").removeClass("row4").addClass("row3");
        $("ul.grid.row3.services li:last").remove();
        $("ul.grid.row3.services li:last").addClass("last");
    }

Hi, is this theme fully compatible with WP 3.5?

It’s working the same as it worked on previous versions (I’m using latest WP on our live preview)

Hey, having a bug here. In a post where you have the youtube video as featured http://crewstudio.com.ar/new/video-test/ it appear with display:none; even if i tell it to be shown. If you go to the blog: http://crewstudio.com.ar/new/blog/ you can see it’s displayed over there.

How can we fix this? thanks

Hi,

thank you for noticing this. You have to edit custom.js (in javascript folder)

Near the end replace
if ($(".post-media img").size() == 0) $(".post-media").hide()
with
if ($(".post-media img").size() == 0 && $(".post-media iframe").size() == 0) $(".post-media").hide()

I’m getting very confused about creating the portfolio pages, the shortcode has a cat_id in it, what is that in reference to? That’s where I would put a portfolio category id right? How do i find that? when I hover over i only see a category name

thanks

If you’re using portfolio shortcode pop-up you don’t have to look for ID. Just select the category…

http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/2826493-bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template?index=9

In help file is explained how to obtain that ID.

Awesome, I hadn’t even noticed that button. Works like a charm, thanks!

Hi There, like the theme and thinking about buying. But wonder why Google PageInsight just gives demo an overall PageSpeed Score of 60.

Server?

Thks.

I’m not an expert on Google PageInsight :(

Check other top themes. Results are similar. I can only guess it’s because of lots of scripts used for slider, effects, images…

Brankic,

(1) Any idea why a flexslider portfolio with 5 images, will create a 7 images in the PrettyPhoto ‘Pop-Up’???

The script seems to load an additional 5th ‘Extra Image’ in the series first, and an additional 1st ‘Extra Image’ in the series last. These two additional images sandwich the correct 5 photo series. The script starts on photo 2?

(2) Also, I found how to change the default size Pretty-Photo pop-up window. But is there a way to do this for the iPhone as well, and make sure it doesnt scale bigger than the iPhone screen when expanding? My pop-up is very, very, small then way too big.

Thanks!

Hi,

1. It’s because you’re using slide effect and scripts adds 2 additional slides to make “infinite” loop. You can use fade effect for this slider. You have to edit slider.inc.php (near the end)

2. This is something what prettyPhoto authors should work on. Maybe you could try to find answer on their forum http://forums.no-margin-for-errors.com/categories/prettyphoto-support

Hi Asking the question again.

Can you clairfy how to get the portfolio filters to show up?

I’ve added the following shortcode via brankic shortcode option:

[bra_portfolio title=’’ cat_id=’20’ no=’20’ show_filters=’yes’ columns=’4’ shape=” height=’’ hover=’yes’]

however having no joy seeing the filter option, indeed, I’m not even seeing the ALL option.

Here’s a link to the test page, ignore the gallery below, that me trying to sort it out through third party plugin:

http://graffig.com/blog/work/

Any help would be great

Thanks for your time

Hi,

You’ve selected category Exhibition in portfolio shortcode? You should create category WORK and create subcats Exhibition… You have to choose WORK category in shortcode.

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been pulling my hair out about that all day – new to Wordpress, normally supply Joomla sites.

Again, really appreciate you getting back to me!!!

Keep up the great work

Further to my question above … I notice the incorrect jumps between portfolio items happens only when I come to a portfolio item that has more than one portfolio category defined. Is this not permitted? Best wishes, ALice

Please reply to that thread, I can’t follow :(

What was the initial issue?

Initial issue – I’ve set up a number of pages, portfolio items and portfolio categories. I’ve tried to be careful with definition of parent pages and slugs. However, the portfolio item links don’t always take me to where they should. I notice the incorrect jumps between portfolio items happens only when I come to a portfolio item that has more than one portfolio category defined. May I email you my link? – it’s a private family site

Please use contact form on our profile page http://themeforest.net/user/Brankic1979

ps: I won’t answer to your email in next few days because there are more than 100 emails in my inbox right now :(

I found the code that {img src=”” alt=”” width=”600” /} which placed in featured image. this shows broken image mark in safari.

You need to extract the theme to your desktop, then zip it again and then try to upload it. See if that works.

Thanks for giving support instead of me ! :)
