I placed a nav item with a unique class. When active, I am not able to change the colour + hover colour. How do I do this?

Hi,
Because the theme has some smooth animations for hover events you need to open the main.js file for this (it’s located in the “js” folder).
Cheers!

Ah, I’m not too comfortable with JS. If: Class = “nav-pre-order” Color = #fff Hover Color = #7cbd19

How should I go about it. Thank you so much!

Once again, you need to edit that main.js file (you can also try using the !important notation on your CSS properties). Send me a private message if you are eventually interested on a theme customization. Thanks!

Hello,

How to add a new google font ?

Thanks for your reply

Hi,
You need to edit the custom.php and the theme_options.php file to do that. If you prefer let me know what fonts you would like to add and I’ll include them on the next update.
Thanks!

Hello Pirenko,

When I click on create a new page, I can only see one option in the section “Page Custom Options”

Thanks for your help :-)

Thanks for the quick reply Pirenko, the answer was not on that video you sent me, but watching another video you posted I found the answer. It was pretty simple, just changing the template to be used when creating a new page, makes all those options appear! :-)

Silly me!

Oops… Wrong video. Here’s the link if anyone is looking for that: http://www.screenr.com/fVI7
Thanks!

Much clearer now. Thank you! Great theme by the way! :-)

Hi! wonderful and easy to manage theme! i was wondering if there is an easy way to integrate typekit fonts in the theme, thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your kind comments! I suggest you follow the steps described here http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6840-using-typekit-with-wordpress-com and then change the dynamic generated CSS styles on the file custom.php located in the “inc” folder
Cheers :nerdy:

thank you, I will try. cheers

Hey Pirenko,

I need to change the url structure from portfolios/portfolio-item to features/portfolio-item

I also need to do the same thing with skills/skills-category

The option to do this is not in the options panel and i’ve looked through the taxonomy files but haven’t been able to find where to change it. Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Those can be changed on the functions.php file. Cheers!

Awesome! thanks for the quick response

Hi Pirenko,

Please check the screenshot:- http://screencast.com/t/g2tr4tlc9v Under pages dont have options for slider as per tutorial videos.

Please reply asap.

Thanks

Hi Pirenko,

The theme is great, but the site is loading extremely slow responsively (iPad and iPhone and Androids) it’s taking approximately 20 sec to 1 min to load the site depending on the device. Any suggestions how to improve this?

Thanks!

It is our own website built using your theme.

Ok. I see you have sent me an email. I’ll ask you for a link there, but it should have to do with some plugin or server configuration. I don’t even have any caching plugin on the theme preview…

I’ll email you the site now.

Hi Pirenko,

I’m planning on buying this theme. Love it! I see that other themes on Themeforest claim to be SEO optimized…

In the code hierarchy, the main content block is placed before the sidebar regardless of the sidebar position, so it is crawled first by search engines

Just curious to know if your site is SEO optimized as well?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I’m using All In One SEO with my current theme. Would you recommend I switch to Yoast when I switch to your theme? Would like your professional opinion.

Second question – will I have the option to choose a custom color for the header. Instead of black, I’d need a dark navy blue? Thanks in advance!

Darren

Hello again,
Well I prefer Yoast, because it’s the best I have ver tried. The plugin you say seems to be very good to so you may keep it if you already are familiarized with it.
About the header: yes, that color is an option under Quest Options>General tab>Header.
Cheers!

Thanks! Great support!

The last row of a section is misaligned when I break it down into thirds. Is there a reason for that? Should I message you the link privately?

Hi,
Yes… Do that please. Thanks!

Done!

Also, there is custom css for the nav .sf-menu>li.active > a. How do I access that?

I don’t exactly what you want to change… Some styles are on the custom.css file and other are generated on the custom.php according to your control panel options.
Anyway, I always encourage users to go to Quest Options>Custom Scripts tab>Custom CSS and throw your CSS code there. This way you can update the theme without losing any of your changes.
I have replied to your email and I’m waiting for your page code. Cheers :nerdy:

Hi Pirenko,

How much work is needed (from a non-programmer’s view) to remove the add to cart button on the shop? It will look cleaner on the category listing in my case.

Hi,
It will only require adding a line of code to the theme options(custom CSS). Ask for help here if you buy theme. Cheers!

I need to install this on my wordpress and I understand that it needs to be done via FTP. I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. I don’t seem to have clear directions. I am a beginner. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I have some videos here: http://www.munto.net/quest/video-tutorials/
The last one explains the install process. Thank you for purchasing :nerdy:

Thanks. I am not getting anywhere still. I have filezilla, but I don’t see how you did that. Do I need to contact wordpress to get host info? I am sorry for all the questions. Thank you Lana

If you have your files hosted using wordpress.com you can’t install themes obtained outside wordpress network. If you have them elsewhere contact your hosting company to get yout FTP details. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko !

I’m very happy with this great theme !

As ChrisSan mentions, it would be cool to have a sitemap template (the regular sitemap plugins around omit portfolios).

Another idea for a future release: on the single portfolio page, the two buttons to navigate across the portfolio images are in the bottom left corner of the images. If the images have different sizes, the buttons never stay at the same place… can we have an option to have them in the top left corner ?

Thanks !

Hi,
Thank you for your kind comments!
I should be adding a sitemap shortcode on the next update. About the arrows: try adding this code to Quest Options>Custom Scripts tab>Custom CSS:
.flex-direction-nav li a.flex-next, .flex-direction-nav li a.flex-prev {top:30px !important;}
Cheers :nerdy:

Works perfectly !! Thanks for the great support you provide !

Thanks ;)

Pirenkoo – can you check out my site. Why is the left blog post “shorter” than the other two on that front page? http://bit.ly/1162eR0

Thanks!

Hi,
That height is set using jQuery. Your website is producing some errors related with Facebook and it’s probably affecting this function. Turn off all your plugins and try again. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko ! Very nice work with this theme !!! I’ve spotted few things, can you help me figure out how to overcome these glitches ?

1) I’ve set the “Logo Vertical displacement” to 32 in the Branding option tab, to fit my icon size. The social icons right to the menu seems to be affected by this change (they are now somewhat lower)... IMHO they shouldn’t

2) I’ve tried (in the Blog option tab), to set the “Blog categories page template” to “Timeline”. But I also set (in the General option tab) the “Display right sidebar?” to “No”. Then all the right posts excerpts in a category page (ie http://mysite/category/blog/ ) are now “floating” too far right of the timeline. (and the whole page is not centered, but is too much on the left). In “masonry” mode, the display is correct but all is also too much on the left (when you have no right sidebar). Should be centered ?

3) I’m using Yoast WordPress SEO… and all my titles now contains twice the site name. Changing the “Force title rewrite” in Yoast SEO does not change anything. I know you do not provide support for 3rdparty plugins, but I think this theme must run smoothly with one of the most used plugins :)

4) last thing, the white top banner (with the menus) is over the whole site (this is by design)... but it has several drawbacks: when in “admin” mode, wordpress’s top pulldown menu entries appear under your top white banner. Maybe more annoying, in the public site, on the contact page, Google map’s big balloon above the current position occluded by the white banner. As a workaround, I did tweak my google map link to center it somewhat lower.

Okay, lot of things, but wow ! in few hours, I got an awesome site…

Thanks again !!!

Regards

Hi,
1 – Can you send me a link? It’s better you send me a private message;
2 – This seems to be fine here so please send me a link;
3 – Once again this seems to be fine here. I installed Yoast 1.4.7;
4 – For the admin thing I won’t be changing it, because it will require a lot of changes to the code and you have the option to hide the sidebar admin even when you are logged in. As for the contact form please send me a link;
Thank you for purchasing :nerdy:

Hi Pirenko,

Thanks a lot for your fast and precise answers. For the record, and to help other users of the theme:

1) The social icon position (on the topbar) can be tweaked like this:

...add this code under Quest Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS: #mini_social_nets .icon-linkedin { margin-top:-2px; }

2) It was a bug that is fixed now in my site (thanks!!!), the fix will be shipped in the next theme release

3) The solution was to check “Force title rewrite” in Yoast, and clear the browser cache.

4) If some part of the google map is occluded by the topbar, you can center your map somewhat below in Google Maps and paste the corresponding GMap link.

Thanks a lot again for your support, your time and these quick fixes !

Great Theme!!! Good luck with sales

Thanks :nerdy:

For future editions you should allow the slider text and buttons to come in through the middle, not just the top and bottom. Thanks!

Ok. I’ll try to do that :grin:

What are the recommended heights for each of the four logos? I know you responded that 80 pixels for the first one. What about the others? Thanks!

Open the images folder inside the theme main folder and you’ll find the 4 logos there. You don’t have to follow exactly these measurements, but you can analyse their sizes.

How do you stop the text and boxes from disappearing (or slowing them down) when you only have one slide going? Thanks.

No clue how to do this, and I think you forgot to post the “following lines” in your response above? Thanks!

I can’t provide free support/customizations, but this one is simple. Send me a private message and I’ll send you a “special” file with this option.

You are the best. Thank you, Pirenko.

Thanks for another great theme I loved twisted and this on even more, as I’m here I was wondering if there was a chance to add a sitemap template to the theme would be very useful and nice added feature. The other thing i wanted to ask was is there a way to have portfolio detail page images use lightbox for larger view. once again great theme and thanks in advance.

Chris

Hi,
I’ll study both possibilities on the next update that should be available next week. I can’t promisse I’ll implement both, but I’ll give it a try.
Thank you for your kind comments ;)

On your Documentation the “This video shows how to set up your homepage.” video is showing the portfolio video. Where is the homepage video? Thanks.

Hi,
I’ll check the docs to see if the video is incorrect. Anyway you can see that video here: http://www.screenr.com/0sy7
Thank you for purchasing!
