Hi, looks like a lovely theme. Few pre-sale questions though. You don’t seem to have integrated any social media icons and links. Any reason dfor that? Further, can the homepage slider images link to a page? Lastly, can’t seem to find a standard page with a sidebar.
Hi, thanks for your kind words:)
With regards to your questions: 1) It comes with a social widget, in which you can set up your social links and then place it where you want (within the theme’s widgetized spaces). 2) At the moment, there’s no option to link the slider image to a page. However, you can put a link within the slider caption. 3) You’re right, now that you mention, I see we forgot to create one on the theme demo. The theme come with that template.
Best, Juan.
Thanks for the reply. I think it might be a be good idea to show the social media options and sidebar page as it might put people off from buying.
Thank you 
will do. Thanks again.
Just one more question. I’ll be using this for a bakery/lunchroom website. Is it possible to have multiple menu pages (list style) with different food categories (ie page for Lunch menu, page for Bread, page for pastries). Thanks again!
Hi there, sure – Please check the following thread in our support forum where we explain how to achieve that: http://nicethemes.com/forums/topic/how-to-setup-2-menu-pages-with-different-entries/
Regards, Juan.
Great, thanks for that. Would that also work for grid style menu?
Sorry, I need to be more clear. Would this work with the grid style menu and each page have it’s sub categories? For example the page for Bread a category Daily Bread, category Weekend Bread. Then the second page called Lunch would need to have 2 sub categories as well. Many thanks!
You can pick wether to select the category template with grid or list style. For any category you can add as many child categories as you need.
Regards.
Thank you.
No problem Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Regards.
Hey, just a quick question, ‘cause I’ve been fiddling with no success.
Is there a way to change or affect the order in which testimonials/feedback appears?
I’m using this site as a singer, so I’m adding quotes from reviews. I plan to add on to this section of my webpage in the future too whenever I get another good quote from a review. To that end, I’d like to be able to add a new testimonial and have it appear at the top of the list of testimonials, and not the bottom.
Currently, you’ll notice the oldest appear first (or, simply, the order I added new testimonials to my page).

Hi Brad,
Sorry I didn’t catch this message before. I’ve seen you’ve posted over nicethemes.com Thanks for your purchase and I hope you have a nice day.

Hi, great theme.. Is it possible to have the theme work with a members panel like the nice theme members area?
Thanks
Hello there, thanks for your kind words.
Actually, the nicethemes.com member area it’s part of the software we’ve developed for the site. Unfortunately, BBQ doesn’t come with such thing. However, you can try and use some plugin to get something similar.
Best, Juan.
Is there a good place to put ads in this theme? Is there a widget for that?
Hi Matt, Yes, there’s a widget named “AdSpace”. With that widget you can include an embed code(Adsense) or place an image with a link. You have several widgetized areas (Home page and blog).
Best, Juan.
Thanks, Juan. So the 6 blocks on the bottom of the home page are the “widgetized areas?” I see where ads would look good on the blog page. Also, do you have to include a menu? I’m really looking to use this as more of a restaurant review site.
No problem
That’s right. Those areas are widgetized areas. You can avoid using the menu templates, that’s up to you and the way you’d like to use the theme.
Best, Juan.
Hi there – I just emailed you about demo data so thought I’d comment here so that you know I purchased the theme.
Thank you, Angela
Thanks for your purchase We’ve replied your email with the XML demo data. Thanks again,
Juan.
Hi again, Juan!
I’ve been loving your theme since I bought it 2 months ago. Have not runned in to any problems at all
However, my client now wants the website to be able to sell the products on their menu. You know, e-commerce. I was wondering if you guys were thinking of working on some kind of integration of for example WooCommerce or eCart?
Or do I have to do all of the customization of an e-commerce plugin from scratch?
What would your recommendation be?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas.
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your kind words
Regarding e-commerce, we’ve heard from some clients that woocommerce runs quite well with this theme. At the moment we haven’t tested any e-commerce plugin. But we may include e-commerce support in the future.
Best, Juan.
How can I centre main menu please (and Logo above)
Hi, you can try the following CSS:
logo {
float: none; text-align: center; }
Best, Juan.
I’m trying to add images to the slider… all I get on the front end is an image not found icon, and the source gives the image source as
OMAIN]/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2012-02-10_A17_1778.jpg&w=956&h=400&q=90&a=cHi There, would you please send me your website address and the access details over support@nicethemes.com ?
Thanks, Juan.
Sorry but the gallery template doesn’t work with me. I don’t understand. I’d like to create a lot of gallery like your demo. How should I do ? When I load photo by clicking the “Add media” button, this what I get : http://www.4ltrophy2014.fr/photos/
Thanks for help !
PS: Sorry for my english
Hello Hqro,
First of all, when creating a page in which you want to show the gallery, you need to select the gallery template for that page.
You can read more on this link to understand how to use page templates: http://nicethemes.com/support/theme-docs/bbq/#page-templates
Please, be sure you select the Gallery template for that page. If you don’t set your page template with the gallery template it won’t work.
Second, you need to upload pictures to that gallery. In order to do this, use the Page mediauploader ( The “Add Media” button below the title in the page form ) choosing as many pictures as you want from your hard drive(This will attach the photos to the gallery, so upload them here). You can edit the information for the images. Then save changes and publish the page.
Finally, the template will make the magic happen.
It doesn’t work I don’t understand. This is my configuration : http://www.4ltrophy2014.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Capture-d’écran-2013-04-29-à-18.16.50.jpg
And this is what i get: http://www.4ltrophy2014.fr/galerie/
I don’t understand … 
I think gallery template is correctly considered because I get this message on my page: “There are no images for this gallery”...
Hi, Please send us your website details and purchase code to support@nicethemes.com
Thanks.
it’s works, I just changed the get_children array in the php file
for more infos: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_children
Hi, What have you changed? That template already use get_children(), to get the attachments.
I am looking to get this theme. Question though, I am building a restaurant Directory so I will have 20-40 different restaurants with there menu on there own page is it posible to have the menu list for each restaurant ?
Hi There,
There’s a possiblity to build it the way you want it. You can use the parent menu categories as restaurants.
Best, Juan.
First of all, excellent and intuitive theme! You deserve the 5 stars.
I ran into one problem with the blog template. If you look at the following link http://bit.ly/15MTx05 you will notice that the thumbnail image claims the whole horizontal space, text appears below it. I already re-uploaded the feature image in hope that the upload process would fix it. Do you know how I can make it look like your theme demo?
Hello Matt,
thanks for your kind words
Please try to add the following CSS within the theme options or in the custom.css file
body.blog { float: left; margin-right: 3%; width: 45%; }
Best, Juan.
sorry, it’s:
body.blog .featured-image { float: left; margin-right: 3%; width: 45%; }
Thanks for your quick reply.
Now the thumbnail partly floats on top of the text. The image seems to be too wide, and I checked that the blog template pulls an image 320×200 (your demo uses 280px width). Already edited the template to use 280×175, but nothing changed.
Would you please send me your login details to support@nicethemes.com so I can take a look?
Thanks, Juan.
Please try adding this as well:
body.blog .featured-image img{ width: 100% !important; }
Best, Juan.
Wow, seems like the last code solved it! Thanks so much!
Excellent I’m not sure why but the body class for the blog template wasn’t applying in your site. We’ll review this and add the solution for the next version. Thank you Matt.
Have a nice day.
It could be related to the Jetpack plugin installed. Some themes have issues with it especially with CSS. Many thanks again, and have a nice day too
Hi
I am thinking about buying this theme. Would it be possible to plug woocommerce into this theme?
Thanks
Hello There, We’ve head comments from more than 3 users that it works great with woocommerce. I’m pretty sure that it won’t be a problem to configure that plugin. We haven’t tried, though.
Hi! Great Theme, i love using it!
But there are a few minor bugs:
1. RSS link doesnt work, you forgot to “echo” it. Line 16, archive.php, no “echo” in front of get_category_feed_link.
2. Slider doesn’t work correctly in responsive mode (smartphone breakpoint) if there is only 1 slide. You’re hiding the caption with ”.flex-active-slide .flex-caption”, but with only 1 slide, there is no active-slide So the caption breaks the layout.
Anyway, great theme!
Hi gopeter, thanks for your kind words
Thanks for pointing these issues. We’ll review everything and get things working for next version
Thanks again. Juan.
How do you populate the Galley page?
Hi Jim,
Thanks for writing.
In order to have your gallery page working, you need to create a page, assign the gallery template and then add images through the media uploader. This means, you need to upload the images in the same page, by clicking the “Add media” button. Once you add images to that page, they’ll be attached and they’ll be shown there.
Best, Juan.
My version of the BBQ theme didn’t come with a Menu Category template. Why?
Hi Jim,
Thanks for writing. The menu category template is automatically generated. You don’t need to create any page for that.
If you go to the “Food Categories” menu, and you click on “view” on any of the categories you’ve created you should see that template.
Best, Juan.
Is there any demo data for this theme?
Thanks for your purchase
Yes, please write me to support@nicethemes.com and I’ll reply with the XML file.
Best, Juan.
With the slider on the home page is there a setting to make it auto play?
Hi, thanks for writing
Yes, you have different slider settings to choose autoplay, the order, velocity, effect (slide/fade), etc.
Best, Juan.
I have a client that bought this theme. I’m getting a white screen of death when i go to activate it on a clean install of WP. Their server is running PHP version 4.4.9 which means they can only run WordPress version 3.1.4. Would this be the cause of the white screen? If not, can you please give some other advice in how to resolve this problem. Thanks!
Hi Justin,
It may be because of that. Also, the theme use a script for image resizing that needs to have the GD library.
Have you checked the error_log?
You can write me at support@nicethemes.com
Thanks, Juan.
Hello,
What css code do i need to put on to make the background a picture like you said in the above message?
Ben
Hello Ben,
It would be something like this:
body{ background-image: url(path-to-the-image/image.jpg); }
Best, Juan.
Does this theme have social media buttons?
Yes it does
Thanks for the quick reply! I am also wondering if the “go to” drop down menu is an automatic function on smart phones and tablets or is it an optional function? Because I am previewing it on my iPad and I am seeing the drop down menu but I prefer the look of the horizontal menu
At the moment is an automatic function. It’s done that way because on devices with smaller resolutions than the iPad, when maintaining the horizontal menu, the layout breaks.
However, we can guide you on maintaining the horizontal menu for iPad resolutions and then using the dropdown for smaller devices.
Have a nice day.
