Hi. Love the template – great work. I’ve two quick questions: 1. On the home page (and others) the line below the menu and below the first two lines of text blends with my background. How can I change these to a darker colour? 2. On the portfolio page, is it possible to re-order the portfoilio items once they are there? For example if there is an item in the second row and I want to move it to the first – is there a way to do this? Thanks for you help.
Hi
1. Add this to Extra CSS
.content-wrapper {
border-top: 2px solid #000000;
}
.section-title {
border-bottom: 1px solid #222222;
}
2. Portfolio items (like blog posts) are ordered by it’s date. So, just change items dates. it’s ordered in DESC…
I would like to know which contact form you recommend for this template as I need to have a way for people to ask questions but not using comments.
Easy contact forms doesn’t work.
I’m also having problems with the right sidebar on my installation. it doesn’t appear at all. Have a missed a setting?
The site is in development and you will need a pw to access it so if you want to see what I am talking about, please dm me.
I know contact form 7 is used by some of our purchasers.
Please check Brankic Panel -> Blog because there are settings for sidebar for category/single pages.
Hi. I managed to translate the site. Now I want to translate the “Navigate to” that appears in the navigation bar for small screen sizes. Where I edit that title? Thanks!
Hi Edmundo,
this is not included in translation file 
$("<option />", {"selected": "selected", "value": "", "text": "Site Navigation"}).appendTo($menu_select);
I would remove the magnifying glass in the portfolio of hover … so I don’t want this btn:
.preview {display:none;}
Hi,
2 questions;
1. Whenever I’m on a certain page, that active page isn’t highlighted in the menu with the global theme I’ve selected under Brankic panel. Think I read about this in a previous post, couldn’t find it now under the 80 pages of answers.
2. The footer doesn’t seem to be attached to the bottom of my screen, regardless browser. Easy fix or mumbo-jumbo stuff in the CSS files?

Any help is highly appreciated.
Best regards, Johan
Hi,
you have to choose Primary menu in Appearance -> Menus to make highlight work.
Footer isn’t attached to the bottom of the screen. Gap appears on large screens if the page is “short”...
Insert some footer widgets and there will be no gap on most screens…
Perfect.
About the footer, is there any other solution that just ‘filling’ the footer up to make it stick to the bottom? I would like to keep the footer very minimalistic and clean and not use it as a sandbox. If this could be solved, that would be mint.
While I’m at it I might aswell ask some questions that came up:
1. Can I rearrange the order of my portfolio sorting? As it is now, it goes All – UI/UX Design – Project Management; can I change this order in the ‘sorting menu’?
2. I used the jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(”.item-info-overlay”).remove(); }); bit of code to remove the hover for my portfolio items, but now I can only click on the actual portfolio name – can I make the entire thumbnail clickable, without having a hover effect?
3. Once inside a portfolio item; is there a way to re-arrange the structure of that page? As it is now, there’s a slider to the right and text to the right? Is there a way to edit this?
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions to non-web-wizard likes mortals as myself.
Best regards, Johan
Hi Johan,
We’ve tried some jQuery snippets to make footer stick to the bottom, but none of them worked fine in all browsers… This is something what I’ll have to work on in the future…
1. Please check the FAQ – http://themeforest.net/item/bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template/2826493/faqs
2. Don’t use this extra script. Just add hover=”no” in portfolio shortcode…
3. You can’t change layout of portfolio single item. However, you don’t have to use portfolio custom post type category for shortcode. You can use normal blog posts and categories where you can have different layout…
I hope that makes sense
Got the footer to work to my liking. Oh the FAQ, that’s where I saw the portfolio sorting – sorry bout that.
Now just a small question about that code that I can’t seem to figure out as I’ve got no clue how the jQuery works: I’ve now managed to sort it by my liking, but I can’t seem to get the proper / showing up. Small thing, but it’s bugging me out. Now it’s just All / Project Management UI/UX Design; I’m missing one backslash after PM, that’s all. Suggestions?
Also, I love how the portfolio single items are laid out; but is it possible to actually extend the width of the content area? That could go for the entire site; I’d like to make it wider to the right. I’m guessing it’s all centered now but I wouldn’t mind to use the extra space to the right, and that goes for the entire site really. I’m guessing though that this might screw things up since then you would need to rescale pretty much everything. Just let me know if it works, otherwise I’ll work around it.
As always, thanks for the speedy support; this I can definately pay for.
Best regards,
Johan
Sorry, totally forgot to mention this one aswell – in the footer in the widget areas – is it possible to widen the content area for the footer boxes? Thanks.
Hi Johan,
please remove the Extra JavaScript for sorting filters, show me the URL and tell me the new order and I’ll send you right code.
It’s not possible to change layout of portfolio custom post type
You don;t have to use this custom post type, you can use normal posts and categories because portfolio shortcode accept and normal categories.
In footer you can have 3 columns instead of forth. If this is what you want, please let me know, so I could send you extra code…
Removed the extra JS. www.risselborn.com
Thanks, I’ll give using a normal posting a go and see if I like that better.
I’m not entirely sure how I like the footer (great eh?) but I’d like to different versions to it because now it just feels to tight – I’d like it to be a bit wider, which would be the result if you remove one of the columns I guess. If you’ve got time, do share the code for that.
Best regards,
Johan
Also, is there a way to align the logo in the banner with the actual menu? Does the banner have to be a specific size? Trying out some logo’s atm but can’t get it to align just yet..
Oh shoot, didn’t tell you the right order. I’d like it to be be All – Project management – UI / UX Design. I’ll stop talking now.
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$nav = $("#portfolio-nav");
$nav_1 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(1)"); // ALL
$nav_2 = $nav.find("li:nth-child(2)");
$nav.empty();
$nav_2.append("<span>/</span>"); // old last item
$nav_1.find("span").remove(); // new last item
$nav.append($nav_1).append($nav_3).append($nav_2);
});
To remove 2nd footer sidebar add this Extra JavaScript
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#footer-top .one-fourth:nth-child(2)").remove();
$("#footer-top .one-fourth").addClass("one-third");
$("#footer-top .one-fourth").removeClass("one-fourth");
});
To fine positioning the logo add this to Extra CSS
#logo {
margin-top: 5px;
}
The code for the portfolio ordering didn’t really help – now I just see ALL and nothing else. The thing is, I got it working properly when I used the code in the FAQ and just switched the order of the ‘childs’ – but I didn’t get the backslash between the second last one and the last one. Am I confused and not understanding the code here?
Using the extra CSS actually just moves the logo, which I cannot position to the actual menu bar. Is there a way to use the same type of CSS code and margin the menu bar instead? That would be better.
Best regards,
Johan
Hi Johan,
not sure why my code didn’t worked 
Right now I can see backslashes on right positions…
You can’t move logo to the menu bar, only you can adjust vertical adjustment.
Hi,
I’m having trouble changing the title of my blog page. I’m using the blog-1 template, and my page is called “Blog”, and I selected my “Blog” category in custom fields, but the page is pulling in the title of my site, and the subtitle. I tried to replace the h1 tag content within the .section-title div in the page-blog-1.php file, but nothing is working. I’d like the page title to say “Blog”, not “CWID2013”. Here’s a link to where I’m building the site so you can see what I mean: http://www.cameron-walker.com/2013/blog/
Thank you! Love the theme!
If page has the same slug as category, WP is using category template. In category template, title of website will be shown. Solution is to change permalink settings to default to check if this is the issue, and if this is the issue, change slug of page/category.
I hope that makes sense…
Hi,
Can you tell me why the images within the media library aren’t showing. I think its to do with broken links to the images but not sure. Also when I upload an image to use in a slider it shows as a broken image rather than showing the image.
Thanks.
Fantastic theme. I cannot get the slider on the front page to work, however. I’ve read the documentation which says (I think) that by adding “extra” images, the slider will automatically kick in. I have set a “Featured” image and then added two extras but to no avail. Is it possible I’m missing something basic?
Thanks for your creative work and support.
Hi,
if you’re using Latest posts in Settings -> Reading no slider can be used. Slider can be used only on pages, so you’ll have to set this page (with 2 Extra Images) as Front page…
Hi. I love the portfolio thumbnail layout. However, I’d love to have dropdown menus to direct viewers to individual portfolio categories. I know that it’s possible to direct to the category pages, but not the thumbnail page. Is it possible?
You have to create new pages with portfolio shortcode for only one category.
I’m not sure if I understood your question, so if this answer doesn’t make sense, please be more specific 
what i mean was when you go to the portfolio page with the options of selecting the categories on top of the thumbnails. Is it possible to have an URL that link to only one categories that look likes when I click on the category link on top of the thumbnails. For examples, only showing the thumbnails of the category “landscape”?
Hi,
you can create new portfolio page with only one category selected. On the main portfolio page you should manually add linkt o that new (single category) portfolio page.
Hello I have some questions: 1. How can I make whole thumbnail text (potfolio page) to link to the specific portfolio page? For now clickable is only the header, people visiting our site don’t know that it could be clicked. They think this is only roll over. 2. what I need to do to have contact page with the map (full width) but with the height of standard featured image? Where can I setup those parameters? For now with the template map is definitely too big (in hight). 3. Is there any option to link from portfolio thumbnail to specific page that has different layout than portfolio item (text on the left, picture on the right?) I would like to have text full width and picture full width within my specific portfolio page. Any ideas how to figure it out? 4. How to add like button or google plus button to all the pages (mainly portfolio ones)? Can’t find how to do it.
1. It can’t be done easily. We think there is enough place for clicking…
2. There’s a lots of code to be changed, but lets try it. In page-contact-2.php delete
/*--------------------------------------------------
MAP HEIGHT FIXER
---------------------------------------------------*/
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
if ($("#contact-intro").length){
var button_y = $("#contact-intro").offset().top
var windowHeight = $(window).height();
if (button_y > windowHeight){
var current_height = $('#bra-map-fullwidth').height()
var new_height = parseInt(current_height - (button_y - windowHeight)) + -200;
var new_height_2 = new_height -80;
$('#bra-map-fullwidth').css("height", new_height_2 + "px")
$('#wrapper.fullwidth').css("height", new_height + "px")
}
}
});
To define height of map, add this to Extra CSS in Brankic Panel
.google-map.fullwidth {
height: 300px;
}
3. You can use normal posts and categories in portfolio shortcode. If you want to change style of only few pges, maybe you should create new posts and use redirection plugin (original portfolio single item -> new post)
4. Brankic Panel -> Blog -> Sharing options (this is for both normal posts and portfolio single posts…
I hope this makes sense…
Thx for your help. However I still have some problems 
First of all – contact page, when doing the map full screen the lower part is contact form but I would like to edit it myself (no contact form). Or at least (maybe this would be better), to have map on the right (or left) and on the other side to have my contact info (no fill form). No idea how to do it, as the [one_half] command doesn’t work there…. (it is always map above the contact info).
Second – concerning your 3rd point – when I create a post, there is always info about the day of the creation in the frontend of tha page, but I would like to have plain one (no info about day and hour of the creation). Just like yours: http://demo.brankic.net/?theme=BigBangWPIf you could also tell me how to implement rediraction plugin (how can i switch it on and use it?)
BTW- it’s a pitty there is no search over here in comments, I think it will help you much
For now it’s a pain in the neck to manually search answers to your problems here…
Hi,
we can’t give you full support on these issues. You must have some knowledge if you want to change layout of any page.
Maybe you should consider hiring freelancer to customize it for you…
Sorry, but how can i put Twitter feed in footer? I’ve already checked shortcodes and .pdf but i dont find the code for that “widget”. Thanks
It’s widget. In folder PLUGINS you’ll find Brankic Twitter Widget. Install it and use in Footer sidebar…
Hi Brankic, Where can i find a clear documentation for this theme? I have just purchased it but dont know where to start? Thank you so much for your help. Regards M
It’s in the ZIP you’ve downloaded, folder HELP…
Thanks Brankic! Few more questions : 1. How do I change the icons in the container box in the homepage? 2. How do I hide the default pages such as elements, short codes from the main tabs? I would like to refer them in future but don’t wish to delete it now. 3. In the blog page, how did you get the blog images to be vertical. Mine’s horizontal. 4. What are the best sizes for images on the slider, blog posts, featured images, team photo, icons in box etc.
My site : urbanyoga.com.au
Thanks again M
Hi M,
1. These icons are shortocode Icon Boxes. This shortcode use images from folder bigbangwp/images/icons. You have to upload new icons to that folder…
2. Delete it from menu (Appearance -> Menus). This way pages will be there, but not in the menu…
3. I don’t know what blog style you’re using. In Style 3 images are squares – there is no layout with vertical images – please show me the URL of such a page.
4. Full width slider – 960px,
Portfolio single post slider – 627px
Single blog post – 600px
These are prefered widths. You can use any height you want, but best practice is to use same heights for one slider…
I hope this helps…
Hi,
Could you please help me change the hover colour menu from grey to green (the colour I chose in the global options in the brankic panel setting)?
I’m very new at this so my apologies if this is a silly question, I just can’t figure it out
Thanks
Believe it or not, it’s not that easy at all in our theme. Don’t ask me why, but I had problems in changing this (old request) and couldn’t do it 
Hi, I read in one of your comment responses that the height of a portrait image slide (within the portfolio slider) will be the height of the image but no matter what height I make a portrait image, within the slider, it is scaled up to fill the slider width. I’m not sure if I am just doing this incorrectly. But is there anyway to have a max height set for the slider that an image placed there will be automatically scaled down to? Thanks
Hi,
my comment wasn’t 100% true 
You’re right, image is resized to fit width. All slider images should have same size. Width of 960px is ideal (for full page slider) or 627px for portfolio single post…
I am having a problem with the services icons.
I have inserted the shortcode as follows:[bra_icon_boxes_container] [bra_icon_box icon="wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Print.png" caption="Print"] I can design all of your print needs. Including stationery, advertising, brochures, etc. [/bra_icon_box][/bra_icon_boxes_container]I have checked many times to make sure that the URL of the icon is correct but the image wont show up.
The rest of the icon block works fine (i.e. the caption and description), just the icon that is supposed to appear between the two isn’t there.
There is no extra space indicating that the image just isn’t showing up either. It is acting as if there is not supposed to even be an image there.
Has anyone else had this problem. I have been trying for hours to figure it out.
Thanks, Kyle
Hi Kyle,
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’ll take a look in next few days, right now we’re very busy…
Hey thanks for the response but I figured out a workaround using the raw HTML rather than the shortcode.
ok I’m almost there. I just need to know why all the media library images aren’t showing please.
Thanks.
Hi I bought this theme and in the help section it says I can send you my details and you will make it look like the live preview? Can I still do this?
Thanks,
Claire
Yes you can, but you’ll have to wait for few more days because we’re busy these days (home makeover)
Hi Brankic,
Thanks that would be great. I will keep trying but had got a bit stuck so could do with the help! You can let me know and I can pm details.
Thanks, Claire
Hi,
if you follow the instructions in help file – section :Importing Demo Content – you can do it easily…
I’ll log into your dashboard in a few days and see if yu did it already and if not, I’ll do it for you…
Hi Brankic,
Thanks for that, yeah I was following the instructions and all the pages are there in the background but not on the site…. I will look again tomorrow and let you know if I am still stuck.
Thanks, Claire
Where is the CSS to alter the Search Widget? I just need to shorten the length of the search bar… I couldn’t find it anywhere…
Use Inspect Element option in Firefox / Chrome to determine right CSS file and declaration…
For search bar (in sidebar), this is the Extra CSS code (in Brankic Panel)
#sidebar #searchform #s {width: 130px;}
Can you explain to me why none of the jpeg images are previewing in the media library?
This is no theme related, but WP related. Importing XML file with dummy content on some servers can’t be fully executed.
Can you explain this in more detail please – I don’t understand the process.
Portfolio pages are using ID of portfolio category. IDs inserted via shortode may not be the same like on your server, so you have to insert shortcode for portfolio again, or t get ID of portfolio category and do it directly in the editor.
If you have posts organized in categories, just add portfolio shortode via Brankic shortcode button and choose category in drop down menu… http://themeforest.net/theme_previews/2826493-bigbang-responsive-wordpress-template?index=9
In help file is explained how to obtain right cat_id value…
Thanks I’ve managed to figure that out.
