I’d like to change the black banner in the header. I’m having some issues finding the correct file and folder its in. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

The header is made mostly from a repeating background image, which you can modify and re-save if you like. You can find the image in wp-content/themes/storm/images/header.png.

There is also a top border on this section, if you would like to remove or edit it, add this CSS into Theme Options – Advanced – Custom CSS. Adjust as necessary:

#header-outer {border: 5px solid #ff0000;}

Hello TC, I have bought the Storm template, and my website works well (www.arrosmolidepals.com/web), but i Have a problem when I resize a picture when I insert it. It means that, when I insert an image, it is possible without changing the wight and heith parameters. Example: this code works well:

but this other one doesn’t display the picture returning an error.

how can i solve that? I can upload all the pictures with a resize process before, but it is a lot of time. In addition, when I insert a media, not from the “shortcodes” button, as I usually insert an image with another wordpress template, when I try to save the page, the server returns me an forbidden access error. why? Hope to get a solution soon. thanks

I can’t see your contact form on your profile page… where i can get help for the Storm template?

I responded to your forum post about this.

Were you able to figure out the issue with “I have an error uploading images it says. “An error occurred uploading the file. You may find more information in the browser console.” ? I’m getting the same error. I don’t have any plugins installed yet.

I sent you an email about this.

Regards, TC

You asked to set up another WP but unfortunately I have very limited time for this project. It’s not possible to install another WP on the same environment.

After reading the comments on your theme, I found at least 3 people having the same problems as mine. This definitely should be addressed as KNOWN issue. I’m supprised you haven’t posted any solutions when other customer posted with the same issue 3 month ago. Were you able to solve his issue?

I sent you another email. I just asked for admin login details, not to set up another WP install.

Hi – I want to buy excellent job. displays for phones and ipad?

Hi,

Storm is not responsive, this means it does not adapt it’s design and layout for mobile devices. However, It does function on these devices.

We plan to make some responsive designs in the future.

Hi ThemeCatcher,

First of all: compliments for this beautiful template!! I’m impressed by all the options in Theme Options, pages and items. It works perfectly.

There is one thing i can’t figure out. I hope you can help me out.

In the portfolio-section; i’m trying to disable the Read more button There is a nice button called “Show Read more button” and i switched it to ‘No’. But it shows on the page anyway.

This is the page: http://www.dansbosch.nl/?page_id=124 (Field ‘Read More’ in Theme Options empty)

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Inside your portfolio shortcode can you see this attribute?

show_read_more="0"

If it’s not there, try adding it manually into the shortcode like this:

[portfolio show_read_more="0"]

Regards, TC

Yes!! The shortcode did it. Thank you thank you. And thank you again for quick responding!

Bought Storm for WP a few months ago, all working fine when I tested. I’ve since updated to WordPress 3.5.1. All appears fine in the front end but I can no longer upload new background images on both the appearance tab or individual pages.

Any thoughts?

Tayler

If you update the theme to the latest version it has a fix for this. See this page for help.

Regards, TC

Great theme, seriously considering purchasing but I have one major factor. Can each page have it’s own rotating background gallery with unique images for each or is their only 1 universal background gallery?

You can set unique images for specific pages/posts by uploading the images in the page metabox settings (below the page content box). We’ve also implemented “Background groups” so you can create a group of images once (on the theme options panel) and select a group to use on individual pages.

Regards, TC

Sorry to bother you! I have two more question: 1. The code that you just gave me, can be modified in the way that the menu bar to stay 2-3 seconds on the screen and then to disapear and what I have to change?

header-outer {

margin-top: -105px; -webkit-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -moz-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -ms-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -o-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -webkit-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -moz-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -ms-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); -o-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);

} #header-outer:hover { margin-top: 0; }

2. Can I associate this code only to a specific page and not to affect the entire site?

Thanks a lot, TC!

You’ll need to use JavaScript instead of CSS for the delay. So remove the CSS that was previously suggested. Add this code to the js/scripts.js file above the line containing // Initialise the menu:
var $header = $('#header-outer');
$header.hover(function () {
    $header.stop().animate({marginTop: 0});
}, function () {
    $header.stop().animate({marginTop: '-105px'});
});

setTimeout(function () {
    $header.animate({marginTop: '-105px'});
}, 3000);
This will make the menu stay for 3 seconds when the page loads.

Regards, TC

Wow! Thanks a lot for everything! It worked and is really what i wanted! Best regards, from Marian Cristea Photography :)

I accidentally purchased the HTML template version instead of the Wordpress theme. Do you think if I contacted them and told them about this and purchased the Wordpress theme they would credit me for the HTML template?

I sent you an email about this.

For anyone else with the same question, go to this page and click the “contact support” link.

Regards, TC

I have a last question before by this theme… Can I make the menu bar disappear and reappear when I put the mouse over the upper side of the screen (or something)? In fact, I will buy it anyway. :)

Hi,

I just knocked up this CSS code, it will work like you say but perhaps looking up some simple JS code would be better? You can add custom CSS and JS in Theme Options – Advanced.

#header-outer {
margin-top: -105px;
-webkit-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
   -moz-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
    -ms-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
     -o-transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
        transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); 
-webkit-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
   -moz-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
    -ms-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
     -o-transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000);
        transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.000, 0.000, 1.000); 

}
#header-outer:hover {
margin-top: 0;
}

Regards, TC

Thank you very much! Your technical support is 5 stars for sure! :)

Hello ThemeCatcher, I was wondering if its possible to display YouTube movies in the sidebar. Artemix

Hi,

Yes. You can use the Embed frame from YouTube and add it into a plain Text widget, or perhaps if you have more than one video you can use the Storm Cycle shortcode. You can use Cycle in the side bar by adding the Storm – Shortcode widget.

If you need something more advanced I’m sure there will be other plugins available online.

Regards, TC

Thanx ThemeCatcher, for the quick response. Now my clients has to choose your Theme and then i can figure it out the YouTube-embedding. Compliments for this beautiful theme anyway.

Regards, Artemix

ThemeCatcher – I have a web design guy attempting to build this site for me using this theme that I purchased; he’s having some difficulty with it and I was wondering if I can put him intouch with you?

Marc

Sure if he can email info@themecatcher.net I can help.

Hi! I’m the proud owner of the first version (HTML) of Storm. :) I still enjoy the theme, but now I see the WordPress version and I want it because I’m so tired to write HTML codes!!! :) Before, I have only one question: it is possible to simplify (just one column) the blog incorporated in your theme to look like this and what are the costs? http://mariancristeaphotography.blogspot.ro/

Hi,

You can get a very similar layout in just a few clicks. If you set the blog page to full width – this will not show the sidebar. Then you can choose the Featured image to be full width and top.

You can find these settings in the Theme Options panel – Blog.

Regards, TC

Thank you very much for the answer!

I am unable to find the Quform plugin for the contact form. I searched in plugins , should I be searching somewhere else?

Hi,

It is included with the package. Read this page (2) which will explain where it is located and how to install it.

Then read this page which shows how to create your contact pages.

Regards, TC

I encountered the upload buttons not working as well. Support hasn’t helped me so far, but I found out on my friend’s computer that while Firefox and IE neither work, google chrome lets the upload buttons work.

Is there a way to hide captions on sliders? There are some I don’t want to caption, and when there’s no caption or title, the black bar showing with the image is really tacky looking.

Can you confirm which slider you are having this problem with? A link to a page with the problem would be ideal.

Regards, TC

http://www.cpburrows.com/ Front page slider, and I would assume every other slider that could be put on the site. Thanks!

Can you use the Page Template “No Content Style” instead of “Left Note Block”.

Regards, TC

? cant set up theme because wh?le ? upload ?t ? cant see the menu bar as same as yours preview?how could ?t happens?can u tell how could ? set up that?

Have you created pages and a menu yet? You can create a menu if you go to the WordPress left menu – Appearance – Menus. This is where you create the navigation links to your pages.

Regards, TC

I cant set up the theme because wh?le ? upload two z?p ? cat set as same as theme prew?ew.how could ? make ?t?

Hi,

Does this guide help you with your question?

Regards, TC

I’m guessing you’ve already answered this question but there’s not an easy way to search in the Comments. Please explain if through the purchase of Storm, I have a license for Quform. I have it installed and it’s working fine but it’s saying it’s an unlicensed version.

Terrific theme so far!

Hi, yes you have the license to use Quform. You need to enter your ThemeForest purchase code.

See this article for details.

You can’t search the Themeforest comments. However, we have a new support site, which is searchable.

Regards, TC

Hello, I tried to get the update of the quForm plugin included but I got this error : ” An error occurred while updating Quform Form Builder: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature.”

Could you help me solve this problem ?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards, L.Rosset

I believe that this means there isn’t enough disk space left to extract the zip file, please check if you are near the disk space quota limit.

Regards, TC

? cant upload background image because upload button is nat active
