Hey!

I’m having troubles with my portfolio shortcode. When I click on many of the shortcode items in the little branic box, nothing shows up. What’s up with that?

Please help!

You have to update the theme. After updating empty the cache, because old script is still active (depending on your browser settings)

Thank you for the great template. I’ve got a question about shortcode [bra_icon_boxes_container]. On my website open-moscow.com and at the demo active item is highlighted with the theme’s main color (light red in my case). Though text and heading’s background color become white, the pic stays the same. I think, that might be wrong, because the color was the same for all the objects while inactive, so in an active state it should be the same again (the pic should change it’s color to white).

Could you please provide me with the modified shortcode, so I can put in it one more path for active state pic.

Hi,

not sure if I follow you.

Image is the same – it can’t change the color when you hover the icon box unless you made a script for that…

Hello first of all i like your theme !! Nicely made

A couple questions here..

I would like to control the colors.. of the colored square with the date The color of the lines in between title and between posts The color of menu square and text And also the date text

Where can i find these in css?

hope you can help

Thanks

Hi,

for all CSS changes you (and others) should start using Inspect Element feature in Chrome and Firefox. Right click on any page elements shows you exact CSS and declaration for that element…

Heya,

Just bought this theme, seems very mint, love it. Just got a question to shoot of with before I start playing with it; is it possible to get pretty much the demo version and then scrap stuff I don’t fancy? Rather than going through and building it all up myself, it would be really helpful to see how the portfolio grid is set up, since I’m pretty new to WP.

Best regards, Johan

Hi Johan,

Please read the help file – section :Importing Demo Content..

Hi,

Just found it like 5 minutes before your post; couldn’t find a way to reply or edit my first post. Sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused.

Keep up the good work!

No worries,

At least you read the help file (others don’t do it :) )

Hello,

I wouldlike to know if it’s possible to translate some blog’s elements in another language than english. I mean: is it possible to translate “continue reading, comments, ...”? I can’t find the right .po file to do that…

Thank you ;)

Of course. This theme is translation ready. We’re using .po files so you cna create .po file in your language (default WP option)

FIrst of all, thank you for creating this great theme! It has proven to be very easy to work with and it looks incredible.

I do have a few questions for you on things that I am having difficulty with though.

1. In the Contact page, when you submit your message in the form field the message isn’t coming through to my email. I have it coming to my company email (name@company.com). When i change it to a gmail account it comes through fine. This is a big problem. How can this be fixed?

2. Is there any way to disable the “All” button inside of portfolio items? I don’t mind the arrows to click forward or backward but the “All” button isn’t necessary for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Hi,

it looks like your company email servers thinks it’s a spam. Check the company email server settings…

Add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
li.all {display:none;}

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I am still having trouble with the email. Our IT guy says that we need to have an email address that the message is coming from to unblock in order for this to work. When I receive the email it seems to be from a random address based around the message everytime. I do not know much about this. Any thoughts? My company wants this site to go live on Wednesday and this is one of the last major hangups. I would appreciate any help!

Hi,

in Brankic Panel -> Contact insert FROM email and don’t use field below (Insert the number of email field below)

Hi again Brankic

Is there any way that you can remove the link from the thumbnail in the portfolio page? I have created a portfolio with the circle effect and when you roll over the circle I just want it to open up the gallery.

Many thanks

Glenn

Add this to Extra CSS
.view {display:none;}
.preview {right:100px;}

Thank you.

Regarding to our past conversation which is couple pages back now. So I wanted to remind.

1-) None of the Extra Javascript codes you provided on FAQ seem to be working when I input. For instance; How to disable prettyPhoto pop-up on shortcode GRID and How to reorder portfolio filters? Plus many others i’ve tried. http://www.ozgurakyildiz.com

2-) When I remove the hover effect, the clickable images lead to the detailed pages of the images rather than opening an pop-up slider to skip through the images. (I’m experienced with HTML but not really with PHP. So i get where the if( hover ==”no”) is located on the .php. Can you maybe clarify what to change and input there?)

3-) Also on my contact page and other pages add white space below the footer, what do you think might be causing that?

Appreciated, Ozgur

Hi Brankic,

On the Icon/service icons, I’ve been trying to put the caption/title below the picture, instead of above it. Where would I go to edit the format of that?

best, Deej

It’s in the includes/bra_shortcodes.php
function Bra_icon_box($atts, $content = null) {
...

Hi I modified pretty pic to open a larger lighbox window but I d like to customize what shows in div class=”item-info-overlay”... First I d like the overlay to be semi transparent and also I want a play button instead of the description text.

But I can not find the file to edit all this?

Also to answer Gabriel “Hi. Is there a way to have a portfolio item with several videos?” You just add extra images and under each extra image you have a url filed where u enter the url to your video.

To make overlay with opacity add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
.item-info-overlay {
background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)
}
Last number is opacity and you’ll have to match RGB color code to the one which is already used… To add play button, you’ll have to edit includes/bra_shortcodes.php
function Bra_portfolio($atts, $content = null) { 

Hi, I purchased the theme, I’m trying to make a page that looks like your “work – items shaped as hexagons”, but I just can’t figure out how to do that. Are you able to help somehow? thanKs :-)

thanks.:-) I did what you wrote, but I just noticed this error above in my wordpress panel: “due to your server settings, you have to CHMOD 777 file /var/www/vhosts/sara-fotografo.it/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/bigbangwp/includes/portfolio_select.txt This file is used only for portfolio shortcode dropdown. You’ll still be able to use portfolio shortcode if you don’t CHMOD txt file, but you’ll have to manually insert ID of parent category.” So, should I write something inside the code once i select it from the portfolio shortcode pop-up? Here the links to my screen prints, If it can help. I hope I’m not annoying you too much with this :-) The category I choose for the portfolio items I want to show on the page is “logos” https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13021577/portfolio%20shortcode.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13021577/cat_id.jpg

Thank you again!!!

Hi,

yes, if you don’t CHMOD 777 that file, you’ll have manually to add ID of category Logos. In help file is explained how to obtain that ID.

If you CHMOD that file, you’ll be able to specify the category ID if you choose category from the drop down menu…

yay, I got it. I CHMOD 777 the file and I have the whole category/subcategory/filter thing figured out…finally. Thank you a lot :-)

Hello, happy new year and congratulations for your work! Can I have two portfolios and link ALL button to corresponding gallery?

Thanks!

Hi Victor.

You can’t have more than one portfolio shortcode with filters on one page. If you don’t use filters you can have as many as you want portfolio shortcodes on one page…

Another thing: Why is it that column and hover controls do not work with shaped items?

Because it wasn’t that easy to made it also column flexible :(

I’m having an issue of prettyPhoto displaying a greater image count on the bottom of the lightbox than I actually have linked in “Extra Images.” It also does not display images in the order that I have specified in “Extra Images.”

For example, I created a portfolio item, added 3 extra images, and then when view the portfolio page and click on an image, I instead see “1/5,” with the image 1/5 being “Extra Image 3” and image 2/5 being “Extra Image 2,” these then repeat as image 4 and 5 in the lightbox. I’m confused as to why this would be.

Also, another bug I found while modifying the original preloaded “Home” page is that if I remove the featured image and all extra images, the slider still shows, even though there are no images to preview. I could not fix it no matter what I did except by creating a new page.

Hi,

it’s because Flexslider adds 2 “ghost” images in order to have unlimited row of images. You cna use FADE effect for portfolio slider if you don’t want these “ghost” images in the pop-up slider. Edit slider.inc.php near the end of the file.

Check if there are some empty blank space in Extra images fields…

Hello,

Okay last thing. I hope. And it should be a simple one.

I need to take up the purple a bit. I looked in the theme file in the “css” folder, and there isn’t a “colors” file there (like you had suggested to a previous poster)—and I’ve checked through quite a few pages here in the comments and can’t find another place to plunk in a different colour code. I’m far from a code expert—but I can make this change with a little direction.

Would really appreciate any feedback you may have. :) /M

Yes it is there. It’s in a bigbangwp/css/colors

So in the wordpress backend I’m supposed to find this under Appearance>Editor? I can’t see this here. I also re-downloaded the theme, looked in the HELP folder where the css folder sits, and can’t see it there. Where should I be looking for this file path?

I know you’re probably wondering how I get through a day.

Wait. I figured it out—had a coder friend straighten me out. Thx.

Thame has been great but for some unknown reason the brankic panel has stopped working recently. I did the update and re install and no fix there? The only things that respond are the “sliding graph container” and the “columns” Please help!!!

I think you should empty the cache and shortcodes will work just fine…

I have installed mailchimp plugin onto my sidebar and everything seems to be working. However, the styling is a bit off and there is no css in the mailchimp plugin folder. Is there a way to style the submit button (currently white bg-color + white text) and length of text input boxes in the custom css panel without affecting other buttons and input fields in my site?

Thanks

Hi,

it’s possible (and not that hard) but we can’t offer support on 3rd party plugins :(

FIRST: I want to turn off comments, but noticed that the blog posts then displays “Comments Off” under the date icon. Is there a way to remove that text, so it just shows the date in the color block? http://amanda-knowles.com/writing/

SECOND: It seems like my portfolio detail pages are breaking somehow. I have them set up with the 1/2 + 1/2 shortcode, but the footer breaks at the bottom of the page: http://amanda-knowles.com/portfolio/metro/

How can I fix that?

1. Add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
.post-info div.comments {
  display:none;
}

2. Not sure how you added this shortcode, but obviously there is unclosed DIV. There is no place for 1/2 + 1/2 in portfolio custom post type because left hand side is too narrow. Maybe you should use normal blog posts for your portfolio…

1. Thanks, that fixed it.

2. I added the shortcode using the toolbar button. Really, I just want my portfolio pages to mirror what I’m seeing on the live demo. If you can tell me what shortcode was used to place the descriptive text on the left and the portfolio image(s) on the right, that would be helpful!

Thanks again.

Hi,

no shortcode needed for portfolio single item. What you insert in the editor goes to the left hand side and images are inserted as Extra images (below Featured image). All Extra images will be in slider on the right hand side.

Don’t insert images into editor, just text.

I hope this makes sense…

Hello sir, I just want to ask how can I add the category on the portfolio where I can sort it our like all/ categories/ another categories. Thanks

Not sure if I understand. Filters are subcategories of the category which one you’ve selected in portfolio shortcode…

this is what i put on my portfolio shortcode sir: bra_portfolio title=’’ cat_id=’46’ no=’-1’ show_filters=’yes’ columns=’4’ shape=’hexagon’ height=’’ but i cant see the filter when viewing it.

Does the category whose ID is 46 has any children?

Sorry, It’s me again ! :)

3. How can we change the Thumbail size defaut ?

Thanks again !

You can’t do it out of box :(

May I know why do you want to achieve this?
