Nice theme. I need your help 1. How can i use “more” tag, it seem not working 2. In checkout page : can i create some button for payment methods like this http://s23.postimg.org/gq1i5b7fv/image.jpg 3. How can i change the color of main table (from grey to black) in checkout page 4. Can i post Youtube video with a specific width? i have use Post format – Video but it always display in full width

Thanks

Hello bravie,

Thanks for purchasing the theme.

1. More tag comes into effect when we use the_content(). In blog templates we are using the_excerpt(). So this tag doesn’t work. Further, if we use the_content() in blog templates, it may break the gird or list layout.

2. Payment methods on checkout page are controlled by the WooCommerce plugin. We can not add our own custom buttons there. However, you can search if there are any extensions/plugins that allows such buttons.

3. Table color is set inside style.css file’ ssection 2. Typography:

td,
th {
    border:1px solid #e5e5e5
}

th {
    background-color:#f9f9f9;
    color:#3a3a3a
}

4. On video post formats, video will show in full width on single posts. If you wish to insert a video in custom width, that can be done on standard posts. For example, wrap a video inside a half column.

[half]
[embed]http://your-video-url/video-id/[/embed]
[/half]

[half_last]
- other content -
[/half_last]

Hi,

Is there a way to make the catalog pages 3 columns (with larger thumbnails instead of four? Please let me know…thank you!

Sam

Hello samborlo3,

It is possible to change number of columns to 3. For example, check this link. But after changing to 3 columns, it will be required to make considerable CSS changes so that the layout doesn’t break.

Hello,

I wanted to add some shortcodes for social media to my pages and products but under the Woocommerce button on the wysiwyg tab there are no shortcodes for these although they are part of Woo. Why won’t they show up? Haven’t you added the script to the theme for this?

Regards,

Wolf

If you look at the video here http://docs.woothemes.com/document/shortcodes/ you see at the 19 seconds point and at the 1.02 minute point that Woo supports Social media buttons besides other shortcodes. I have none of these I see in the video. Even when I just type them by hand all I see is what I typed and not what the shortcode should show.

Hello Wolf,

I think there is some misunderstanding between “Woo Themes Framework” and “WooCommerce Plugin”. The short codes you are mentioning comes with WordPress themes created by Woo Framework. You can read in the start of that documentation:

Included in the WooFramework is a few custom shortcodes …

That’s for themes built by WooThemes based on WooFramework. Actual short codes that come with WooCommerce Plugn are the ones shown in link below:

http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/

You will see that there are no social media short codes in that link.

Regards

Okay how weird that I saw it on the Woocommerce pages. But I am glad you solved it for me. Your support is excellent!

Thanks.

hi,

Just purchased Xing.

Are there any support pages or video support??? Struggling to find slider/how to tell home page to display recent products etc etc

Micky

Hello Micky,

Thanks for purchasing the theme. You can find documentation inside your download_zip/documentation/index.html file. Dummy markup and XML data can be found inside the dummy_data/ folder.

Important: Make sure you have downloaded the full ZIP archive. It is likely that you might have downloaded only the installable theme folder, and not the entire archive. The entire zip archive contains documentation + duimmy_data + theme.

Hi there,

I have two questions before I purchase;

1. Does the template come with a PSD? 2. Can the nav be configured to not show a dropdown list box when in narrow/phone mode, but show a vertical list of items formatted as per the horizontal nav?

Thanks, Jason

Hello Jason,

Thanks for browsing the theme. I’m sorry but the theme doesn’t have any PSD. It is directly built on CSS grids. For navigation on mobile devices, a narrow vertical list can be shown but it may become too lengthy due to sub menus. Select dropdown can be disabled by removing the code from JS files. I will help with that.

Regards

The theme is really nice ! I am ready to buy this theme. I just want to know whether I can use jigoshop plugin with this theme or not.

Hello nawaz0705,

Thanks for browsing the theme. Yes it will work with JigoShop but you will not be able to take full advantage of the theme. For all features like shopping bag on top-right corner, product thumbnail styles, etc. I would recommend using WooCommerce. WC is an extension of JigoShop plugin only.

Regards

Can I use jigoshop plugin to this theme? Please let me know. Thanks

Look here for example – http://goo.gl/Q7Mv2, it’s in Cyrillic, but I think you’ll get the idea what the problem is.

Hi,

Is there an update to the theme? I updated Woocommerce to 2.0.10 and I’m experiencing some layout issues. The additional information, the reviews, and the description are not showing in tabs, but they are showing under the title.

Hello svetto,

The theme is already updated to version 1.0.5 which is compatible with WooCommerce 2.0+. Your current theme version is 1.0.4, so kindly update it to the latest version. :)

Regards

Thanks! I downloaded it and it’s fine now :)

Pre-purchase questions:

1. Can the slideshow height be increased? 2. I can’t see any newsletter plugin, is this theme compatible with Wysija newsletter? 3. Can the logo section be made bigger than in the demo?

By default sidebar, that would be the woocommerce widgets, right?

Hello oyeshi,

Default sidebar is the one which is used on all pages and posts. It will show widgets as used in it. If there are WooCommerce widgets in it, they will show accordingly. There is no separate WooCommerce Sidebar.

Regards

Thank you. I sent you an email as well :)

i need auto scroll for lastest product for xing anyone this there to help please

Hello deepak152,

I can help with auto scroll on carousel. For that, kindly send me a message from my profile message box using the account you purchased the theme. I will send you the fix.

Regards

Hi SaurabhSharma

I’ve dropped you an email could you get back to me asap please.

Hi,

I have two things I can’t seem to solve myself.

I don’t see an image on a seperate blogarticle like for example here http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/themes/xing/wp/?p=7402 How can I get the image to appear?

How can I remove the sidebar on the portfolio page? I keep seeing the default sidebar.

Love the theme!

Regards,

Wolf

Hello Wolf,

1. Images on single posts are inserted manually using the img tag. For example, use the following markup inside your single post to show a left aligned image:

<img class="size-medium alignleft" src="http://yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg" /> Rest of the post content ...

2. If you wish to skip sidebar for portfolio, you can make use of the full width portfolio templates. Currently, the theme supports 4 col and 5 col portfolio template on full width (without sidebar). You can use any of these templates.

Regards

LOL Now I know what “with SB” stands for. With Sidebar. No wonder it showed a sidebar in the portfolio section. Hahaha I feel like a dumbass.

Thanks for the comment on the blogarticle with image. I thought it was somehow generated automatically :-). But it doesn’t matter I can add the images manually as well. Thanks for the quick help!

No problem, Wolf. Adding images manually will have more control on their positioning.

Regards

Hello. Since we last spoke my site has been working fine but for some reason now my customers have been telling me that when they download one of my zip files from the site. www.massivehypesound.com/music they get this error “unable to expand “NAME OF THE FILE” into “desktop” (“error 2-No such file or directory.)

When I tested 3 downloads on my site with a different account, I got the same error. Do you know what might of went wrong?

I’m using a mac computer and it has its buit-in compress which turns the files into zip no other programs needed. I have been using that for a few years now and never had an issue. Once the file has been ziped, I upload it to a folder on the server.

Hello jswiftdesigns,

Kindly send me your WP login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. Or simply send me a music file in normal format. I will ZIP it and send you. You can test that by uploading on server. That way, we will get an idea if the issue is with local zip system, or with server.

Regards

ok. Im sending you an email.

Hello, is tthis work with WP E-Commerce plugin?

Hello idwpthemes,

You mush search some more sites. May be there is a shipping method available with WooCommerce.

Regards

thank you SaurabhSharma. one more question, how to display 2 rows of latest product in Home? thank you for your very vast response :)

Hello idwpthemes,

Two rows of 4 products each can be inserted using the following short code:

[recent_products per_page="8" columns="4" orderby="date" order="desc"]

Regards

Hello I’m willing to buy it but I need to know if I’m gonna be able to resize the right sizebar

Thanks

Hello avalancer,

Thanks for browsing the theme. Unfortunately, it will not be easy to resize the sidebar as it will affect entire grids on which the theme is built.

Hi,

When making a product there are about 9 pictures saved in different formats. Is that something Xing is doing or WooCommerce? Do you know how to adjust that amout to what I really need? All these pictures takes a great space on my server.

Regards!

Hello willekeus,

While creating a product, if you add featured images using drag and drop, they are automatically attached to the product post, and are treated as gallery pictures. This is default WooCommerce functionality. While editing a product, you can remove these pictures from the “Product Gallery” panel which appears just above the “Featured Image” panel. You can also remove images by opening media library and deleting images “Uploaded to this post”.

Regards

The strange thing is that in the Product Gallery and media library only the original images are shown. But when I look at the dashboard of my server/host, I can see the Original picture AND 9-12 more pictures. Eg: Original.jpg, original-90×90.jpg, original-120×120.jpg, etc.. Offcourse I can delete these pictures, but I’ve got about 10.000-30.000 products in my shop…..... I rather prevent these pictures to be made at the front….....

Regards

Hello willekeus,

These are the image thumbnails generated automatically when a new images is added. These will be generated on the basis of images sizes specified by theme and/or plugin. In theme, we are defining 6 different sizes to be used in different sections. Additionally, WooCommerce also defines some image sizes for catalog, product page, thumbnails, etc. So overall, you will see around 9-10 variations of each image in different sizes.

These different sized images are served on different locations in theme and plugin. This is how WordPress native thumbnails work.

Regards

Can I ask a question? I want to know if the cart – when full – can connect to paypal? Thank you!

Hello cherylrae7,

Thanks for browsing the theme. When a customer has added products to the cart, it is taken to the checkout page. From there, you can choose a payment method like paypal, credit card, cheque, etc. Depending upon the payment method chosen, it will connect to appropriate service and proceed with checkout and payment process.

If you wish to test this functionality, you can download WooCommerce Plugin and check it on twentytwelve theme. :)

Regards

Just purchased this theme and I wanted to know how to get rid of the menu bar? We just want to use the sidebar as the main menu so where would I find it? Thank you!

Hello jojocouture,

Thanks for purchasing the theme. Menu bar is coded inside header.php file, from line no. 66 to 70:

<nav id="access" class="ss_nav clearfix" role="navigation">
<div class="wrap clearfix">
<?php wp_nav_menu( ... ); ?>
</div><!-- #access .wrap -->
</nav><!-- #access -->

Delete these lines and save the file. This will remove main menu.

Regards

Thank you very much! One more question:

How do I change the entire header’s background color to something else? For instance the footer’s background is gray, how would I go about doing the same for the header as well?

Hello jojocouture,

Header area is a mix of callout bar and the logo + widget area section. So there is no fixed selector for background. However, you can assign a background image to #container and set this bacground on top part as:

#container { background: url(images/bg.jpg) 0 0 repeat-x; }
#header { background: none; }

container is the actual box container wrapping entire site. So, setting a background on top part of this container will look same as if it were on the header section.

I’m new to SEO – is Xing theme SEO optimized? I can’t see where to include any meta data? I am thinking of installing the All in One SEO plugin – what do you suggest?

Thanks Simone

Hello Simone,

The theme is designed to support SEO in best possible way. For example, the content always appear before sidebar inside the code. Internal linking is done through menus and related posts. Meta data and micro formats on author URLs, etc. This are just base level things. In order to make the theme more SEO optimized, it is required to use a plugin. You can try the SEO plugin from Yoast. Other plugins are also good, but I find this one better.
