Hi

can I change galleries order in the “galleries list” ?

thank you

Hi, you can set the order in which project appear in the galleries by editing the date of gallery items.

All done, thank you ! (you have best templates on the market. keep going)

I’m going to try to explain this as best as I can.

I am trying to make a homepage which will be the full width slider. So that will be the first page everyone sees when they enter the site.

THEN, on the sidebar, I wanted to have my portfolio link, that when clicked, will show all my work as the fixed width portfolio page (so basically the little boxes with all the links to the pages). BUT, as soon as I make the homepage something other than the portfolio, it doesn’t allow me to have a secondary page with a portfolio. It just lists all the pages as articles with no pictures whatsoever.

Is there ANY WAY to have a homepage with a full width slider and then a separate portfolio page that can be clicked on the sidebar that will take visitors to ANOTHER portfolio listing page?

I hope I’ve explained this well.

See: http://jessicakobeissi.com/

As an example. I want the link DESIGN PORTFOLIO to just show all my work as normal. As the portfolio listing page would with everything as a block image and rollovers, etc.

Yes if you could help me that would be great! How would you do that?

Oh wait! It did work :) Awesome. I just need to figure out how to change the preview size in the galleries and I’ll be good!

Hi, it would be possible to do, but would require some modification by a developer.

I am having problems with displaying the description text in my slider. It works ok on a ‘page’ but when i create the same slider in a ‘gallery’ the description/caption text is not visible?

I assume you don’t support plugins but i am using two fairly popular plugins- Post Types Order & Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order

One of these affects fixed layout of the portfolio section and only allows 3 portfolios across the page. Do you know if there is any easy fix for this? Even after deleting the plugins it seems that it has permantly changed the layout from 5 to 3 across.

eg. – http://obscura.com.au/gallery/

ignore last comment.

Sorry I dont think these plugins are affecting the layout.

Can you tell me why the layout changes inconsistently? Depending on the shape and size of the browser it changes from six across, to 3 across and then to four across? There is a lot of wasted space either side of the thumbnails when it is 3 across and it doesn’t make sense that the thumbnails are not filling the page fully?

The layout changes inconsistently because of responsive design.

Hi MegaTheme !

In super smooth gallery, captions are loaded before images… so until the first image appears – which can take some time – all captions overlap and it just looks terrible -> http://www.mariecarette.com/perso/captions.jpg

You did a great job on this theme – really – but this problem is really frustrating… and it spoils the beauty of the theme ! Is there anything you could do ? Add a query so that captions are not loaded before all images are ? It would be marvellous !!

Thanks for your help and for your work.

Hi, navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Style and add these lines of code to custom CSS block:

.rsTitle {
opacity: 0;
}
.

If this helps?

Yes it does !! Great ! Thank you so much…

For those who have font problems on Chrome, some info and solutions: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/jXndHLfjYfU

Hi gues!

7 days ago you posted a reply about Gallery lists and said that during next update they will appear. Did you mean 1.0.3?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m meaning not gallery categories, but Gallery lists, that every Gallery has their own filters, as you can see here – http://demo.megathe.me/skylab/galleries-list/ – it’s the main point of the whole idea to help professional photographers to present the big portfolios to photo editors. Thanks!

Sorry there aren’t any plans to add multiple galleries lists.

Strange solution! Exactly this feature few people asked here in comments, and nobody mentioned gallery categories.

Hi!

I Have updated the theme to the new version (only local for a test) and do it like u have writen me some days ago here “Hi, simply add your portfolio categories to your menu.” so i but the portfolio categories as submenu under my Portfolio Menu, but it is not working!

if i click after on the site the submenu what is one of my category, there comes nothing

U sure that is working, i mean setup any of my “Portfolio categorys” as an menu and there will be listed only that categroy of pictures? And also what about “Portfolio Filtering” is that never work after?

There is nothing in documentation about setup categories as menu for more as one portfolio (no filter, as menu in navigation)..

Thanks!

Any chance to get it also work with list portfolio?? I don’t use the fixed width portfolio :-(

Hope we will add it in the next release. Please stay tuned.

Please!!! Thanks!

The Contact Form is very small compared to your demo. How do I resize it to the correct width? I’ve used the documentation and your example code but this has not had an effect.

Thanks.

My mistake.

Thanks for fixing the contact form. Please could you provide documentation on how you fixed this. Unfortunately when I change the extraneous sentences to short phrases the contact form shrinks. Please advise.

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

Also, is there a way to make the portfolio template have a white background instead of black? www.jessicakobeissi.com for example

Hi, navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Style where you can change your background.

Is there any way to change the image preview for the gallery listing? Make the photo bigger? It’s currently on image gallery and the previews are really small…is there anyway to make the previews a little bigger?

http://jessicakobeissi.com/gallery/test-gallery-1/

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

thanks for the reply, i try another link here: http://note.io/14MvlJ8

Navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Style and add these lines of code to custom CSS block:

@media only screen and (max-width: 960px) {
.archive #primary,
.search #primary,
.blog #primary,
.single-post #primary {
width: auto !important;
}
}
.

it works, thanks!!

How do you update this theme? I downloaded the main file, etc, but when I upload it says , “already exists” directory…. It certainly does not.

Hi, first visit your downloads tab and re-download the new version.

To install a new version of the theme delete the old one, with a help of FTP for example, and extract skylab.zip file and upload the extracted folder to /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server.

Hello is there a way to have a page with a full screen background and a text on top of it?

thanks

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

Hi

I’m having problems with the Black style when pasted into: Custom CSS

are you able to repost the working black.css?

You will need to add styles from black.css which you will find in the package. As you can see in the demo colors are fine.

In regards to site titlenavigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Style and add these lines of code to custom CSS block:

#site-title a,
#site-title-custom a {
color: #fff;
}
.

i did re-paste the black.css text into Custom CSS Block and that’s what i got, all i got was white, so i was told to set background and navigation bar to #111

anyways thanks for your help! what i did, was i copied your black.css file from here: http://demo.megathe.me/skylab/wp-content/themes/skylab/css/black.css instead of the one in the download package, and added the code you posted above, everything works perfect now :)

Hi

I’ve hit a big problem with iosSlider, which is the main reason I bought the theme really. Landscape images respond reasonably well to browser resize ie they are responsive, but portrait images don not respond at all, they stay the same size

What’s going on? Obviously I would like the whole slider to be responsive not just the landscape images

thanks

Thanks. It turns out that it only happens if I have a portrait image first to set the height, rather than a landscape one, even though they are all exactly the same height!

this is still causing problems. Portrait images do not resize as you resize the browser window, the container resizes but it clips the portrait images. Landscape images resize as expected with container

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

I have added the black.css code to the Styles > Custom CSS (under appearance > theme options > style.

It is not working?

See : http://www.lukestrothman.com/

Please help! Thanks

Love this theme so far!

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

Hi MegaThemes, thanks for quick reply. I have once more question: I want to create one left Menu with name is once Category Porfolio,so, How can I dislay one Category Porfolio on left Menu. Thank you very much!

Sorry, but in menu panel, it only show Page Category, Porfolio Category is not show in it. I want to add Porfolio Category like Porfolio Filter to left menu, I try add Custome Link to menu but Porfolio Category hasn’t any link. Please help! Thank you very much.

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

Hi, I have just sent an email to you. Please take a look and talk to me a problem. Thanks

Hello. I just purchased this theme and am loving it! I am having a few technical difficulties though.

1. The site isn’t showing up properly on my mobile devices. I’m using Chrome on my HTC One.

2. On the contact page, it shows a google map which I don’t want on there. When I go into the settings and remove the address it re-adds the default info. Any way to remove it all together?

3. Social media links aren’t working right. I added the correct address but it’s adding my domain name to the url string. It’s not written that way in the social media settings, how do I fix that?

The only remaining issue at this point is how the website is displaying on my phone. I don’t know if this is happening on other mobile devices, but on my own it isn’t functional. Here is a screen shot of what my website looks like on my phone>https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l1yuzh2nxp6zob/Screenshot_2013-06-20-15-04-50.png. There is no way to navigate the site on my phone. Any ideas?

There are two menu locations – primary and mobile. Primary menu is your main menu and mobile menu is for for mobile devices.

Menus can be configured under Appearance > Menus.

Great photos by the way! Can we use a URL to your site and a screenshot of your site in our theme’s description please?

I will give that a try and see if that works. Feel free to use that to show off your template!

http://www.129films.com/wordpress/blog/got-a-great-idea/ why are my individual blog posts at a narrower width than my blog index?

Hi, please re-download and re-install the theme.

Hi, how can i slide/fade the Text by mousover the portfolio boxes? Like the demo.. here the text moves from bottom to top.

Thanks!

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