Hi, I have installed this theme a wile back. But now I have an issue with the language of the account-bar. All of the page is translated into dutch. Only the account-bar showing in the header is still in English. I tryed to change the account-bar.php in the xing/woocommerce folder, but this won’t seem to work. Can you tell me what I miss?

Hello eyes2you,

Hello eyes2you,

I have fixed it.

Hello! Great theme. I’m also having issues with the blurring images. I really need this to work for a client as quickly as possible. No matter what size i make the image *800×800 it doesn’t work. And for some reason when I upload pictures, it doesn’t allow me to choose a thumbnail size like you described above.

http://devteam.blipp.ca

Hello eugenelee223,

Currently, your thumbnail images are 150×150 and single product image is 300×300px. If the theme is installed after WooCommerce plugin, proper image sizes are set inside settings. If not, you can manually set this inside WooCommerce > Settings > Catalog > Image Options. Here, assign these settings:

Catalog Images: width: 240, Height: 999, Hard Crop: no
Single Product Image: width: 370, Height: 999, Hard Crop: no
Product Thumbnails: width: 90, Height: 999, Hard Crop: no

After changing the sizes, it will be required to regenerate thumbnails so that new sizes are generated.

For featured image size, as of WP 3.5, now the full size image is taken as featured image. So I think it shall only be due to Catalog image size settings. I hope that will fix the issue.

Hi! We love this theme it is very friendly to tweaks and customization. Is there some documentation available on all the shortcodes used in the theme? We can’t seem to find any in the documentation (that we’re aware of) and we’d like to see all of the options that are available for things like the carousels and such. Thanks!

Hello flashions,

Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback.

I haven’t included details on each short code parameter as they are already visible inside the option panel. For example, if you click on the slider short code, or the columns short code, a lightbox option panel will pop up. This contains various text boxes and drop-down lists for choosing available options.

Similarly, for carousel, if you click on the carousel short code button (in visual mode of editor), you will see parameters such as speed, easing, products type, etc.

A complete reference to shortcode parameters can be found inside includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file.

Hi , Is it possible to to place one big image in the header instead of the logo?

Hello ridder21,

Yes it is possible. The logo width is auto. You can upload or replace logo.png with a big banner image of same name “logo.png”. Next, it will be required to hide header widget area. For that, add this rule at the end of style.css file or inside user.css file:

.header-widget-area { display: none }

After adding the banner, it may require to adjust it’s margin and padding. For that, you can target the .brand selector. Or send me the site URL. I will check and suggest appropriate CSS.

Hi ,

Is it possible to to place one big image in the header instead of the logo?

Hi

Can i add the general description, additional info and reviews where the excerpt normally lives

Like this

http://streetorchard.co.uk/product/silver-fur-abies/abies-kor-silberlocke/

but not to have the bottom info at all

Thanks

mark

Hello Mark,

The link doesn’t seem to work. Do you mean shifting the entire tabbed content to the right side, just below product description? Or to hide the tabbed content completely on single product?

Regards

hi, try now, have removed the coming soon page

Hello Mark,

The Tabbed content (Description/Additional Info/Reviews) can be shifted to right side, just below the summary. If the summary part is empty, it will automatically appear below product title. For that, add this rule at the end of woocommerce/woocommerce-custom.css file, or inside user.css file:

div.product .woocommerce_tabs { float: right; width: 49% }

This may appear close to your requirement.

Hi, i have a problem with my catalog picture. why the picture blur at product picture? please help me. :crying:

Hello aliikhwan,

On single product, the picture size stretches to around 370px. Make sure the provided featured images is bigger than 370px. For example, upload an image of 640px width, and while setting as featured image, choose the “Full-width” option. May be you have chosen “small” or “medium” size while setting featured image. A full size shall display image in correct dimensions and quality.

Regards

Hi, I am still researching but close to purchasing :-) Few quick Q if I may: 1) Can you add more images in the store section? To display more angles or different sides of the products or are we limited to only 1 image per store listing? 2) Can one add a video link inside of the description of the product for sale? I know that we can’t put a video in the default image but would placing an html video link in the description be an issue? 3) Can I display a certain kind of products on the right hand side that would MATCH for example the CATEGORY of the blog article? For example: is it possible to have each post/article and its category linked to all of the PRODUCTS listed in the same category to show up on the right when someone reads the article in any particular category? Sort of customize products displaying on the right along with the category of the article/blog or video on the page?

Thank you, Very close to buying :-)

Hello tms11,

Thanks for browsing the theme. Please find my answers below:

1. Yes, more images can be added to a product by attaching images to it through media library. For example, check this product. Multiple images will be only shown on single product display. Not on product archive thumbnails.

2. Yes you can add any type of link inside product description. You can add HTML too.

3. This one is a bit difficult. The reason is, products are Custom Post Types. Their taxonomy is product_cats, whereas a default blog has category taxonomy. They can’t be linked together. Further, exclusive sidebars can only be used for pages or posts. They can’t be assigned to individual categories. May be a link inside the post content itself can take to the product archive. Besides that, exclusive sidebar is difficult for product archive.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask. I would be glad to respond.

Regards

few little questions Saurabh, After researching other posts here one should be able to make a buy decision based solely on your tech support response. you are awsome :)

1) I researched your other templates like VOLT, can I add similar advertising/banners sections like there? or should I say identical :)?

2) Can I add a simple newsletter window to collect and sign up users for newsletters other the a full customer/login? any code or suggestion?

3) i use addthis.com feature to share blogs/articles, can one add the one that floats along the posts when you scroll down the page and it stays right next to the post (always visible?) here is the code. Just wanted to know if this can be added to the posts/site without an issue:

code: <!- AddThis Button BEGIN -> <script type=”text/javascript”>var addthis_config = {data_track_addressbar <script type=”text/javascript” src=”//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4d87d1621bf16a8d”></script> <!- AddThis Button END ->

thanks!!! about to buy ;) tms

Hello tms,

Thanks for the kind feedback. Please find my answers below:

1. Yes advertisements can be added inside any of the available widget areas. The theme supports widget areas in header (next to the logo), sidebar, and inside secondary area (just above footer). You can use text widgets for inserting advertisement images. If you wish to style them similar to volt ads, I will provide you CSS. There is one limitation though, you can not use 300px ads in sidebar, as the maximum width is 176px.

2. Newsletter form can be added using Contact Form 7 plugin. A short code will be generated, which can be placed inside a text widget in any sidebar. The theme supports form styling for this plugin.

3. Yes you can use addthis plugin. If you wish to add custom markup inside single posts, that can be done by modifying single.php file. In that case, the built in social sharing needs to be disabled.

Is it possible to change the amount of products it lists per page? It’s only listing 10 instead of 12 and not filling up the whole page.

http://www.repaircodingdesign.com/pdq/product-category/footwear/

Hello Anthony,

Yes, that can be changed inside ‘Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most’. Change 10 to some other value and save settings. This will be applied to all archives.

Regards

I am trying to add product variations. I don’t see the variations tab under the products though. Is there something I need to add first?

What I am trying to achieve is different sizes, colors, etc. for different products.

Also I did go to Attributes tab and put in Size with different sizes. Still no variations tab.

Edit: Fixed.

Forgot to change to variable product. :)

Is there a way to change it saying “From” a certain price when all of the prices are the same?

Nevermind again… It’s only if you do an on sale price that it uses that.

Hello Anthony,

Thanks for solving the issues. At first, the variations tab seems confusing. But it gets clear as we use it more and more. :)

Regards

Hello,

First of all, I think the template has no issues whatsoever its a really great design and I love it.

I have a weird issue, My Woocommerce plugin is attached to the “Shop” page and it displays the products. My issue is that when I select “shop sidebar” and the “Shop” page clearly states to use that “shop sidebar” as a sidebar, it still uses the “default sidebar”. I can’t seem to make it work unless I remove WooCommerce from the “shop” page, that’s when the “shop sidebar” works. Any thoughts?

I’m new to Wordpress, maybe I’m missing something, though I have a few other pages with their own sidebars and I had no problem with those.

Hi, yes its me again haha.

I’m having a conflict between Yoast SEO social plugin and Xing social plugin, you see, I want to have the like buttons in my blog posts but I don’t want to use the “og:” meta tags that Xing adds when I activate the social buttons. Normally I would like Xing to do that for me automatically but I’m administrating all that with Yoast SEO Social plugin and so, I have two og:url that causes a conflict with facebook.

My question is, how do I disable Xing’s social plugin from posting the “og” meta tags?

Hello neocorps,

As you are already aware. The og tags are used on single posts for proper sharing of Facebook. If you are generating those tags with plugin, you can disable them inside functions.php file:

function add_facebook_open_graph_tags() {
...
}

Disable or delete this function. After that, no meta tags will be generated on single posts.

Or if you disable Facebook sharing button from Appearance > Xing Options > Single, it will not generate the og tags.

Regards

Thanks!, the problem is that I want the facebook sharing button but I don’t want the og tags. Will try this today!

Hey, i am using your theme on my site http://www.thehappybike.com and love it. But a quick question, is there a way to make a product listing a list instead of a grid? Thanks!

Hello pawelgra77,

Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback.

The list view on products is not available by default. But the theme supports woocommerce-grid-list-toggle plugin. I hope this will help.

Regards

Hi SaurabhSharma

the latest version of wommerce seems to have completely broke my site www.national-print.com can’t seem to find a way around this any ideas can’t get into the admin panel either

Hello vaughi28,

The latest version of WooCommerce is running fine with WP 3.5 and current version of the theme. I have been testing it very often.

It seems one of your plugins got a conflict. The only way to access your admin is to log in to your FTP, and rename plugins folder as plugins.temp. Next, try to access login URL and check the site. Once logged in, again log out and rename plugins.temp to plugins. Next, access this folder via FTP and delete any newly updated plugin. For example, woocommerce, or any other plugin which you recently added or updated. I hope this will help.

Regards

Ah just seen this but you were correct plugin conflict, although once installed I got them all back in without any problems thanks for your help great as usual :)

You’re welcome. :)

Hello,

I have one blog category showing on the home page and the pagination at the bottom does not link to more posts, instead it links to the posts already on the home page. Can you tell me how to fix this?

http://www.so-gnar.com

Thanks!

Victoria

Thank you so much! I did not build this site originally, my client did, and I totally forgot to look at what plugins they had installed. Thanks again!!

I deactivated and removed the plugins and the pagination on the home page still does not work. It works on blog pages but not the home page. I will email login information.

Hello Victoria,

It was a facebook plugin. The next/previous query variable or the paged variable gets some conflict with this plugin. Deactivating it has solved the issue. For reference, these variables are WordPress specific, and may get same results with a twentytwelve theme too.

Regards

I want to buy this theme, but I have 2 questions. Can I use the woocommerce compare products plugin with this theme? Is there any option to put rating stars under photo? Thank you,

Hello tomaionut,

I have searched for a plugin for similar requirement. Unfortunately, I was unable to find at this moment. If I come across such plugin soon, I will update the comment here.

Regards

I will buy the theme, I already modified some php files to do what i want. for anyone else who wants star rating under products you need to modify /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php and to put the following code under
 do_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title' );
                ?>
this is the code:
<?php

        echo '<center><div>';

        $count = $wpdb->get_var(" 
                SELECT COUNT(meta_value) FROM $wpdb->commentmeta
                LEFT JOIN $wpdb->comments ON $wpdb->commentmeta.comment_id = $wpdb->comments.comment_ID
                WHERE meta_key = 'rating'
                AND comment_post_ID = $post->ID
                AND comment_approved = '1'
                AND meta_value > 0
        ");

        $rating = $wpdb->get_var(" 
                SELECT SUM(meta_value) FROM $wpdb->commentmeta
                LEFT JOIN $wpdb->comments ON $wpdb->commentmeta.comment_id = $wpdb->comments.comment_ID
                WHERE meta_key = 'rating'
                AND comment_post_ID = $post->ID
                AND comment_approved = '1'
        ");

        if ( $count > 0 ) :

                $average = number_format($rating / $count, 2);

                echo '<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">';
                echo '<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">';

                echo '<div class="star-rating" title="'.sprintf(__('Rated %s out of 5', 'woocommerce'), $average).'"><span style="width:'.($average*16$

                echo '</div>';
                echo '</div></center>';
        else :

                echo '<div></div>';
        endif;

?>
</pre>" /></div></div></div></div>

Hello tomaionut,

Thanks for sharing the solution. I would like to add one thing. Instead of modifying core plugin files, you can copy /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php file into xing/woocommerce/ folder and then modify it. Now this file will be automatically used from theme.

Regards

will this integrate with MarketPress from WPMU? http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/e-commerce/

Hello S&S,

Thanks for browsing the theme. I have not tested it with MarketPress. The theme is built for WooCommerce, and works best with it. I would recommend using WooCommerce to get maximum feature support.

How do I remove the sidebar on an individual product page? Is there an option in wordpress, or a php file to edit?

How do I add multiple photos for an individual product?

Thanks!

Hello belieber,

Sidebar on single product can be removed from CSS rules. It will also be required to expand product and description areas to full width. For that, kindly send me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Multiple product images can be add by attaching images to a product post. You can do so by clicking on “Add media” button and drag/drop images into the uploader. They will be attached to the product post automatically.

Regards

Will this theme allow you to sell a limited amount of products? Ex. If I have only 10 items of a certain product will it count those down, as if it was keeping inventory, and discontinue selling once the product is sold out?

Hello coachkwick,

The theme uses WooCommerce plugin for shopping features. WooCommerce supports stock management. You can set the amount of stock, and it will be automatically managed as the products are being sold. Once they are out of stock, the product page will show “Out of stock” message. You can find more details here.

Regards

Just purchased your product. However, when I attempt to upload it to my server, I get this message:

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed.”

Help?

Hello HowieBlog,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

It will be required to unzip the download first. Next, look for the folder named ‘xing’. This is the actual installable theme which you can ZIP and upload to WordPress.

Before installing, kindly refer to the documentation/index.html file inside your download zip. This may help you in theme installation and configuration. If you find any difficulty, feel free to email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I would be glad to help and respond.

Regards

Hi, Thank you for a quick answer to my previous question, I wanted to ask you these few simple questions and getting ready to purchase :) 1) Is there options to include in each product for the customers to choose from like: colors/sizes etc… drop down or buttons etc? can’t see it. 2) Can the store be automated with paypal, I mean to generate each purchase code for processing so that we can process the order? 3) I asked this last time and just want to clarify – how can I add picure banners for my advertisers next to the logo and throughout the site. You mentioned to use word widget? I need to be able to place clickable picture banners.

Thanks very much for your inputs. I love the theme. Regards, TMS

Hello TMS,

1. WooCommerce supports product variations on any product item. For example, checl this product with size and color variation. WooCommerce also comes with a Layered Nav Widget. This widget can be used to filter products based on size, color, etc.

2. Whenever an order is placed, WooCommerce creates an order number / purchase code. For payment options, you can choose between paypal, credit card, cash on delivery, etc.

3. Using a “Text Widget” you can insert basic HTML markup for clickable ads or custom images. For example, if using Google Ads, simply copy the ad code and paste inside a text widget. A simple clickable image shall look like:

<a href="http://target-link.com"><img src="http://url-of-source-image/" /></a>

For #1 and #2, I would recommend downloading the WooCommerce plugin and checking it’s features. The plugin is free and you can test all it’s features on a twentytwelve theme. :)

Regards

Thanks alot Saurabh, Terrific and fast response :)
