OK sorry I already found the answer http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381220-default-code

You just need to add this code to the caption area of full-screen images.

If this works?

Yes it does!

Like maybe in the image caption area ?

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

Hi there, Is it possible to get the Add This share buttons to display on all pages – including Full-Width slider templates + Gallery templates ? Would there be a way to add them inside the image caption area?

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

Hi,

Firstly, I like the visual design of your theme. I am planning to purchase it but I need to clarify a question I have.

Can the size be increased of the photos in the Gallery> Masonry/Magnific Popup ?

Best Regard Vikram Rana

Hi, thanks for taking an interest in the theme!

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

Mobile performance is poor! When loading www.jessie-fotos.dk on Android all I see is a black frontpage with the logo (BIG ONE!) in the upper left corner. The logo does not seem to be resized for a mobile device at all! Galleri list does not appear – nor with browser or mobile device! I have made 2 galleries – and I am still in the works with uploading – but both of the uploaded and published galleries can not be found. Instead I get a 404!!! I would like to use the style “Dark Wood”, but where can I choose the style – no links, no nothing!. I know I could have overlooked it, but please tell me where to change the style, thank you very much.

No navigation and a disturbing black bar hiding the pictures!

I found your link example in the documtentation and changed it. Now it works, thank you!

How about the navigation on the right side here: http://www.jessie-fotos.dk/blog/#.UfEmE0F7JQR

It’s not visible – how can I make it visible? The categories links doesn’t take the visitors to the actual galleries, instead you get a 404?

Navigation on the left “FOTOS” doesn’t show the 6 galleries, that have been uploaded?

  1. You will need to install styles from dark_wood.css. To install styles styles from dark_wood.css for your site navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Style and add styles from the “styles” folder to “Custom CSS” block.
  2. Which exactly categories do you mean?
  3. I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Hi again

just checked performance on mobile(iphone) and template is serving full size images to device, which are not optimized in any way for mobile. Is this correct or am I missing something I need to do to serve correct size images for correct device?

thanks

Hi, all images shown in the theme are fully responsive.

no they’re not! They resize yes but they are all served by the template at full size. That is not responsive as I understand it.

A site designed with responsive web design adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using flexible images. Flexible images are also sized in relative units, so as to prevent them from displaying outside their containing element.

Hi, What is the recommended dimensions to upload images to a “full width of window slider”? It seems that the images are expanding too much. (I am helping a friend who purchased the theme).

Thank you.

Hi, we would recommend to use 1500 × 1000 or 1600 × 1200.

Thank you. But how can I prevent the images to be stretched so much? It seems like they zoom in. I would like to display the whole image.

It’s impossible to scale a full size image without either the width or height being copped due to varying browser dimensions.

404 Error. Whoops.

Hi,

Hello, I recently purchased your great theme, and I wanted to ask you a question. How do I show into a page of virtual tours (files consisting of html + swf)? Here you can see an example of what I have to show: http://www.enricomantegazza.it/tour-negozio-fiori.html

sorry for my english Help thanks Enrico

Hello, thank you for the purchasing!

We would recommend you not to use Flash. Please read this article http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

Hello. I would like to disable the thumbs in the gallery slider, how can i do that? Thanks!

Hello!

In functions.php find

controlNavigation: 'thumbnails',

on line 1447 and replace it with

controlNavigation: 'none',
.

If this helps?

Hi there. I have purchases Skylab thinking that it would do what I need it to do, but after several hours of efforts I am at a loss – admittedly this isn’t my specialist area, but I would really appreciate it if you could explain if the following structure is possible…

I want a front / homepage with a grid of images on, such as something like on the Skylab demo page when you click on Portfolios list or Galleries list. I love how when you scroll over them you get a colour background and some text -this would be ideal, and one of the main features that encouraged me to buy the theme.

However, I would like these images when you click on them, to take you to a page – not a gallery or portfolio, and each page should be able to have a permalink such as www.mywebsitename.co.uk/pagename

Having spent so long looking at hundreds and hundreds of themes, and now being really up against it schedule wise to get it built, I would hugely appreciate it if you could help as soon as you can.

I actually found someone else online who is clearly after a similar thing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thank you for the purchasing!

To set up the portfolio section, you must create a new page, you can do so by navigating to Pages > Add New. You can give this page a title of “Portfolio” yet you do not have to include any content. Select the “Portfolio” template from the Page Attributes section and click “Publish”. The main portfolio section can now be viewed by visiting the page you just created.

By going to Appearance > Theme Options > Portfolio Settings you can configure your portfolio page.

To add a new portfolio item, navigate to Portfolios > Add New. Here you can add the title of the project, a description in the main text editor, enter project details (client, date, url), upload medias, type an excerpt and assign various categories.

You have to set a “featured image” to each portfolio item that will be displayed on the portfolio page. To do so, upload an image and set it as featured image (378×293) — Three Columns or (363×281) — Four Columns.

You can choose a value for title highlight color from “Portfolio Highlight Color” meta box. See the screenshot below.

I you would like these images when you click on them, to take you to a page – not a gallery or portfolio then enter the URL in “Portfolio Custom URL” meta box. See the screenshot below.

Thank you that has helped with some progress. How are the Portfolio items on the front page sorted? I would like to be able to control what order the images appear on my grid. Thanks in advance. Also, how is it possible to change the background colour of a page. I have located the menu background colour, and the background colour that fills the space around a page’s text box, but not the text box itself. Cheers.

You can set the order in which project appear in the portfolio by editing the date of portfolio items.

Do you mean portfolio page?

Hi, Thank you for the great work! I just have the following problem: When I change the Permalink settings from “default” to “post name” my portfolio items appear as a list of post titles please check here: http://lachezarotravov.com/portfolio/ and advise how can I fix this. Thank you in advance!

Hi, I’m very happy with this theme. But I would like to know if there is a way to have iosSlider on Gallery to? Thanks.

Hi, sorry it’s not something which is included as an option.

I’ve had trouble getting photos on to the gallery page & I’ve also had trouble uploading the .xml demo data.

Under ‘Pages’ I have created a ‘Portfolio’ page which is my front page using images from the galleries page.

Under ‘Galleries’ -> ‘page created’ -> scrolled down to ‘Gallery’—> clicked on ‘Add Gallery Image’.

A pop-up box appears with a few images already uploaded in ‘Media Gallery’.

When I choose an image, click on it, then click ‘Add to Gallery’. The image refuses to go onto the ‘Gallery’ section of the ‘page created’.

I keep receiving an error message “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”

I’ve tried deleting all the images, then re-uploading it to double check. Error message keeps occurring.

I don’t have anything else on my ftp server so I know it’s impossible that I do not have enough space. Help would be kindly appreciated.

Hi I’ve checked with my hosting and their end isn’t the problem. I’ve uploaded the latest version of Skylab (today) onto another directory to check if I’m doing something wrong.

For this new directory the .xml demo uploads fine (previous one wouldn’t upload). The demo pages are all there, demo images are all missing. When I create a new Gallery using ‘Add Gallery’ the page (to the right of the navigation) is blank ie. no heading form, text section, etc.

As for the previous directory I no longer get the error message. The Skylab theme simply does not allow to ‘Add Gallery Images’.

So far I’ve not had any luck with this theme.

If you can access my site and add more than 5 pics with ‘Add Images to Gallery’ and update/publish it then let me know.

forget my question I just found thanks

Hi, if you want to modify an existing theme, it is better to do it by creating a child theme than by modifying the parent theme directly. Read more http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Also you can use custom CSS block from theme options.

Hi, I want to change the size of the typo of menu where can I find it in the syle.css? thanks

My images have an equal height, aligned by height. Why have I got massive horizontal spacing between my images?...

http://rebeccawestcott.com/?gallery=people

Find

.single-gallery #block-gallery .gallery-item,

on line 6958 and remove it.

If this helps?

At long last! That worked!!! Thank you for sticking with me on this, you guys rock!

Why do you think I had a problem when so many other sites seemed to work without a problem? Strange how there could be such a difference in result from a package that is essentially the same when distributed.

Thank you for your help

how do i get the side bar (home, blog, contact, etc.) visible on mobile devices? It seems to disappear when the screen shirnks in size. Thanks!

Hi, it doesn’t disappear but moved up. We have done this on purpose. Make sure you set your mobile menu.

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.

Thanks! I can see it now. However the reason i couldnt see it was because of the font color where do i go to adjust that. It blends with in with the background. Btw… Great Theme!!

Hi there!

I made a lot of modifications to my theme, so, where can I find a list of changed files to upgrade without overwriting every mod I made?

Thank-you.

Hi!

Sorry we don’t have a list of changed files.
