Hi,

My apologies if this is really simple and I’ve missed it. But how can I have the theme default to black style instead of white?

Thanks

Hi, thank you for the purchasing and sorry we didn’t packed these styles yet within the theme!

Please email us so we can send the styles to you asap. You can send us email via our user page contact form here.

Hi!

I have seen there is an update: === 1.0.1 (Jun 10, ‘13) === Added: portfolio pagination

Is that mean now it is possible to have more as only one portfolio? Different pages with own portfolios?

Thanks!

Comes there an update for using more as one portfolio? Thanks!

Hi, we will release it as soon as possible.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Hi there,

I’ve just purchased this theme. It’s fantastic but I’m having a few problems with it so far…

The “full width of page slider” gallery type does not display the navigation as shown in the demo, nor does it use the correct logo. I’ve uploaded and set both dark and light logos in the theme options tab but it does not use the light one when using the full width of page slider.

Also in the gallery list page, the rollover cover which displays the name and catagory of the gallery does not entirely cover all of the thumbnails as it should. There is a small strip on the right hand side. I’ve also found that the responsive behaviour is a little odd. When I make the window larger, it positions the galleries in the gallery list vertically rather than horizontally. Is this something that I can change?

Best,

Mike

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

  2. Light logo used for the “Full Width of Window Slider” page.
  3. We use Beyoncé’s Tumblr technique. Read more http://metafizzy.co/blog/beyonce-seamless-fluid-image-masonry/

Hi there, I’ve fixed most of these issues but I still am a little troubled by the responsive reformatting that goes on when you look at it on a mobile or tablet. I’ve posted a new comment about this. Perhaps you can help?

Best,

Mike

Hi, which mobile and tablet do you mean?

HI! I’m Trying to setting the theme…I created a page and choose the fancy gallery template…I published it but I don’t see the “Video URL” custom input, how I can I do?

2nd question: How I can choose a style? for example I’d like to use Dark wood or Light Paper Fibers

Thank you!

  1. Please read the documentation that comes with the theme, any common questions can be answered within the documentation.
  2. Please email us so we can send the styles to you asap.

I read well the documentation: in the “Setting Up a Fancy Box Gallery Page” you say: “If you want to open a Youtube, Vimeo or Dailymotion video within the lightbox, specify the url in the “Video URL” custom input.”

I published the page choosing Fancy Box Gallery Template but I don’t find any Video Url Custom Input. How can I do?

In my homepage doesn’t appear my logo, but the site title, how can I show the logo as the other pages?

  1. Please see the screenshot below where you can find the “Video URL” custom input.

  2. Please email us your URL, username and password for your site via our profile page and we will take a look.

hello.

Ive sent you a reply email. My problem still hasnt been fixed.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello, I didn’t receive an email from you. What’s your problem?

Hi there ! Nice theme, one of the best on the market.

just one problem. when I’m trying to install it says:

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.

Theme install failed”

can you help me with that ?

Thank you

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

Please take a moment to follow the visual guide below.

Hi There, upon exploring your theme I have purchased i’ve found a strange issue upon creating a portfolio displaying a video I get a massive gap at the top of each portfolio. So far each portfolio item I have created has a huge gap at the top before displaying the video. example here http://www.sensan.co.uk/?portfolio=showreel-for-media-agency If you can shed any light on how I can remove this would be appreciated. Apologies if it has been covered already.

Many thanks in advance

Hi, sorry for the late reply! Fixed!

That’s great thank you, with regards to this I have enabled the ‘slider’ to appear at the top of the portfolio (which I assumed that gap was meant for) but the ‘slider’ does not appear even with it selected in the portfolio ? Do I need to set a slider up on a ‘sliders’ page for this? Its not clear as I followed the documentation. Many thanks

Hi, please email us your URL, username and password for your site via our profile page and we will take a look.

I want this theme, if it works with Woocommerce?

Best regards

Hi, it’s not something we test I’m afraid. WooCommerce does claim to work with any theme I believe but I could not guarantee it.

Hi, I’m interested in purchasing this theme but I was just wondering if it’s possible to move the navigation from being vertical in the sidebar to being horizontal in the header?

That’s fine, one more question, if that sidebar was removed would it break the theme?

Yes it will break the theme. We would suggest to hire a developer to help you with modification.

No problem, thanks for answering my questions

Hi Relly love the look of the theme, im stuck on the first hurdle however. I am trying to upload your XML demo data to get started quickly but for some reason my wordpress install does not want to up load it (same with the theme so I had to FTP manually) my question is Can I upload the xml file manually and execute it online without having to do an upload via the back end importer? Im very keen to get things working quickly so any advice would be welcome.

Many thanks

Sean

Hi Sean!

Unfortunately there is no way to upload the XML file manually.

Ok many thanks for your assistance

Hello, nice theme, is it possible to turn off the pre-loading of images on each page. The long waits for all the images to load before seeing anything appear on the page is a little off putting for me. Thanks Dominic

Hello, the pre-loading of images is on several slider pages only.

For the blog posts, like the single post page can I do a sidebar with this theme and if so how wide can it be?

Hi, yes you can have a sidebar on blog posts page. See the demo page http://demo.megathe.me/skylab/journal/

cool, can that sidebar be expanded say something that could hold a 300px wide banner size?

It may well be possible with some modification but it’s not something which is available out of the box I’m afraid.

Sorry to keep bothering you, especially if these questions have already been answered (I don’t seem to be able to search these comments or find a knowledgebase of responses).

1) iosSlider usually has an autoslide function that can automatically loop the images in the slider (autoslide: true). There isn’t a setting for it in theme options—is there another way to set it?

2) I’ve tried adding shortcodes to the portfolio page but they haven’t been successful. I have a series of portfolios about my art processes, I’ve set up a page with the portfolio template that pulls those in. The page has no title or anything and is a little bewildering. I’d like to add a title on top of the tiles that says “Cynthia’s Processes” but when I follow the instructions and insert a shortcode into the page, it doesn’t show. Is there something else I should be doing? I’ve tried this with portfolio and portfolio (fixed width) templates and it doesn’t appear to work for either.

Thanks—

Sorry it’s not something which is included as an option but you can use portfolio (fixed width).

Portfolio fixed width doesn’t seem to work at all for me—nothing displays, but it works perfectly if I choose regular portfolio.

Hi, please email us your URL, username and password for your site via our profile page and we will take a look.

And this is a bit more indepth, in some of the sample websites, I’ve seen that they have a full screen slideshow. For instance: http://christianlauer.com/

However, I can’t get that to work. How do I get a slideshow like that on the Home page. Do I add a new post? Do I add a new gallery? Or is it a portfolio? Thanks!

Hi, please read the documentation that comes with the theme, any common questions can be answered within the documentation.

Thank you so much!! Sorry for not looking there first!

Hi, I purchased this theme because it said that it was “Well Documented”. I have not been able to find any documentation. Can you please advise where I locate the documentation for setting up the theme? Thank you.

Hi, you will need to download not Installable WordPress file but Main File(s) where you can find the documentation.

I’ve tried several times to upload a logo, but nothing happens. It shows up in the Media Library, but nothing happens after I click on “Save all Changes.” The logo doesn’t upload. Help!!! Thanks!

Hi, you will need to click not “Save all Changes” but “Send to Option Tree”.

Thannks! I figured it out minutes after I wrote this, but thanks. One more question though. And this is a bit more indepth, in some of the sample websites, I’ve seen that they have a full screen slideshow. For instance: http://christianlauer.com/

Hi, please read the documentation that comes with the theme, any common questions can be answered within the documentation.

Hi, I need help. I need to show posts from a certain Portfolio category in one page. Is that possible? I need to make two different portfolio pages showing different categories.

Sorry, what you have described isn’t available with the theme.

Hi there, Beautiful theme really. On the “super smooth slider” gallery, is there an option to activate/not activate the view of small thumbles down the page ? If not would it then be possible to increase their transparency ? or reduce their size ? Just trying to figure out if there are different ways to eventually make those thumbles a little less disturbing for the eye… if possible… :) Thanks !

OK, thank you ! Sorry for number 1 -> I was talking of the Super smooth slider… so there is no metabox then, and anyway each image is indeed automatically centered. So it’s perfect.

Could you just please tell me where in the CSS I could increase a little more space/margins around images ? As for very wide images, they go “under” arrows… I would prefer to have a minimum space between the arrows and the left/right sides of images. Would be great of possible… Thx again.

  1. Actually images are centered automatically.
  2. Sorry I don’t have a fast solution for this.

Sure, I understand. I found a simple solution though for this “photos under arrows” matter. In case someone is interested, or if it’s easier and quicker for you to tell anyone who would ask : For very wide images, make the image photoshop layer wider with no background… and save image as ”.gif” so that it keeps transparency. It worked out for me !

Hi,

I’ve updated the theme a few times as it notifies me by simply using FTP, deleting the theme folder and re-uploading the new expanded .zip file. Hopefully this is all you need to do.

It still says version 1.0 so I’m just wondering how I know if it updated properly or if I didn’t miss a step etc.

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

You will need to download not Installable WordPress file but Main File(s) where you can find the documentation.

Ok. Thanks. So since mine still says version 1.0, that means the update instal hasn’t been working?

Hi, there is 1.0.1 version is available already.

I’m trying to use the “visible titles” portfolio option, as shown in the demo, and not having much luck figuring out where that option is selected.

Also would appreciate it if you could send the styles used in the demo.

Thanks!

Select Portfolio (Fixed Width) page template. Next Navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Portfolio Settings where you can find Portfolio Title and Meta Position option.
