I’m building a site for a client and this theme is exactly what I’m looking for. However, everyone views on mobile devices these days … I know it’s not “responsive” but is there a site I can try to view on my iPhone or can you sooth my worries? :)

There is a demo site here. As you said it isn’t responsive, but we have tested it on iPhone/iPad/Android devices to make sure it works as it should.

Regards, TC

Thank you, TC! That’s all I needed. Will purchase momentarily!

I have a problem with the thumbnail view, how can I solve? The gallery, logo in admin, also has this problem thanks

solved: One common solution is to make sure that the storm/includes/timthumb.php file has file permissions 644 and all parent folders of this file have permissions 755. See

Hi!

I’ve uploaded 5 different images in the background image group and selected slideshow and start slideshow auto. But when I visit the page, only 2 images are in the slideshow and it ends after the second.

How do I integrate all five and loop them? It works to view all five when I use the next button.

This is a bug with Storm on latest version of WordPress. You can fix it by updating the theme. See this page for help.

Regards, TC

Thanks, works like a charm

THUMBS UP and 5 STAR RATING :) I just bought storm, really great theme, great documentation, an excellent options panel and a very powerful form plugin! I just can recommend this theme to everyone who interested in a great word press theme.

Cheers, Alex

Hi, thanks :)

Hi,

How I can change the “storm” theme color into your “pearl” item color? I tried many ways, but unfortunately I did not make it… Would you be so kind and tell me how I can do that?

Thanks!

Cheers, Alex

Can I make the gallery slider not auto scroll? Basically the user has to click on the image thumbnail for it to go to the next image?

Nevermind I figured it out.

Thx for an absolutely faboulous theme! Is it possible you could hint me in the right direction to turn of the background images sliding just for android devices? I know I request a new feature so I don’t expect and answer, but you can’t blame me for trying ;)

Hi, this code will make it a single background image for mobile devices (but not tablets). Which will effectively disable the sliding.

function my_background_options($options)
{
    global $tcr;
    if ($tcr['is_mobile']) {
        $options['backgrounds'] = array(reset($options['backgrounds']));
    }
    return $options;
}
add_filter('tcr_background_options', 'my_background_options');

Hi TC,

Is the Storm Theme responsive?

Regards Alex

The theme isn’t responsive, but it has been tested on devices. It will show the full version of the site.

Regards, TC

Ok. Thanks!

One more questions:

Is ist possible to make two Columns, with a sidebar and an transparent background like in pearl template: http://demos.themecatcher.net/pearl/options-page-transparent-two-col.html

Have a nice weekend!

Regards, Alex

I’ve made this post with the transparent background option enabled.

Hello, Great theme, congrats. My website is finish and worked fine in local server but online, the 5 colums portfolio don’t want to show the pictures?? I tried to create a new one but it’s the same. You wrote in a old post that maybe the DOCUMENT_ROOT is not good. Could you please give me more details and help me? Thank you.

You are a master !!! Thank you so much :)

Hope you like the theme customized ;) All the best

Hello master :) I have got the same problem again after I have changed my url www.yourbestwordpress.com/alexisvacher.com/ to www.alexisvacher.com/ Please, please, please Help me. Thanks.

I did it ;) Sorry about that.

I didn’t changed anything in configuration and today I lost my background and my gallery is not displaying as it should…

Can you check it? http://www.apetytnaswiat.pl/

There is also a problem with font display….

It looks like the minified scripts from the BWP minify plugin is returning a 400 Bad Request status code, perhaps something was changed on your server. It should work if you deactivate this plugin.

Regards, Ally

It works fine. Thank you!

Hi there. Just starting out with the theme, and came into some trouble using the HTML superscript tag. The sup tags are in the text, but the tagged numbers still display in regular size at baseline.

See the “1” at the end of the quote near the top of this page, for example: http://www.tankascape.com/about-tanka/

I checked the CSS sheet and didn’t find any specifications for the sup tag. But I’m not really familiar with CSS and that was just a guess. Are you able to see what else is going on here?

I’ve really enjoyed using this theme to put the site together. I particularly love the translucent text caption boxes – great for combining small amounts of text with images.

Two more questions, if I may:

I’m combining short poems with photographs. The text in my portfolio section (http://www.tankascape.com/gallery/) is running together instead of maintaining the poetic-format line breaks (whether or not I use HTML for the breaks). Is there a way for these linebreaks to be preserved? They work fine everywhere else on the site.

Since I’m combining short text with photos, is there a tool I can use to allow users to set the speed on the slideshow for themselves? Different users have different reading speeds, and I’ve received some feedback that they don’t want to hit pause between each photo. I’m reluctant to slow it down too much because then new users to the site may not even realize the front page is a slideshow before they click to another page on the site.

I really appreciate your help!

Hi

1. It looks like WP strips the tags when generating the excerpt to display. You can workaround it by manually setting the excerpt for the portfolio item, and use a <br /> tag to make a new line.

2. There isn’t an easy way, you’d need a developer to modify the jquery.fullscreen.min.js file (unminified copy in jquery.fullscreen.js), which would instead of using the timeout configured when the plugin is loaded it would check the value of a setting you make available to the user.

Regards, TC

Thanks. I experimented with #1 and found that the lines split well just using paragraph tags. Much appreciated!

sorry… really lost…

How to this.

from this

http:/singapore-newlaunch.sg/wp/image/02.jpg

The first image isn’t an example of the site, it’s the featured image of the item on ThemeForest, this is what the a site looks like.

Please describe in more detail what you want to do if you need more help.

I there i need to animate an menu text it’s possible???

Can you post a link to the page where it doesn’t work? The method I provided worked for me.

Regards, TC

i want to animate the menu text campanhas on www.loginlasertag.pt

I don’t see the animate CSS file in your custom.css file. Copy this file into Advanced -> Custom CSS, press Save a couple of times in the theme options panel after this.

Hi, im new to this… great theme..

I need help as the youtube video background runs great on pc but dont show on mobile idevice.. is it normal?

Yes, we have disabled the video background on devices as they weren’t able to be displayed properly. The background images will be shown instead for devices.

Regards, TC

how can i make the video control panel more obvious? like on sticky pad.. possible?

Hi,

You could make the controls a fixed position. Then increase the size of the icons?

To make them fixed add this CSS:

#video-controls {position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; margin:0; height: 40px;}

To add new button icons and increase the size of them, add this and adjust as necessary.

.video-play, .video-pause, .video-mute, .video-unmute, .video-full-screen {width: 34px; height: 34px; background-position: center center;}
.video-play {background-image: url()}
.video-pause {background-image: url()}
.video-mute {background-image: url()}
.video-unmute {background-image: url()}
.video-fullscreen {background-image: url()}

Does that help?

Regards, TC

Where do I found the quform plugin? it’s not in the zipfile

/Pär

Hi,

It should be there (I just tried the download). When you open the first ThemeForest zip file there are two more zip files, one Storm.zip and one Quform.zip.

Regards, TC

OK thanks found it :) was looking in the storm.zip…

Hello ThemeCatcher,

I’m Marina from RaDiance Conseil. I assume this theme is not responsive, right? It won’t display properly on mobile phones?

Best regards,
Marina.

Hi,

No, Storm is not a responsive theme. However, it will still display and work on phones, but the design and usability has not been optimized for these devices.

Regards, TC

I get the following Error everytime I try to upload a jpg file for the background image of the site:

An error occurred uploading the file. You may find more information in the browser console

It could be a server issue or a conflict with another plugin. Try temporarily deactivating all other plugins, if it works then activate them one at a time until it breaks again, you’ve found the conflicting plugin. If that doesn’t work, I would need to take a look myself, could you please send over administrator login details and your admin URL to the contact form on my profile page.

If you’d prefer not to send us the main account login, you can create a temporary user account just for us with the “Administrator” role, which you can then delete when we have resolved your problem.

I have the original Storm Theme and was wondering if I purchased this one is it fairly easy to convert or do I start over with the new theme

The site would need to be recreated in WordPress, there isn’t an easy way to convert.

Regards, TC

Hi

I have been using the storm theme for a while now, but since the twitter API update the twitter feed has stopped working, is there a fix for this?

Thanks
