Good Morning.

I was just checking my site and I think the contact form is not working! Any ideas my friend.

Hi,
It seems that there’s a glitch. You need to refresh the page to make it work. This will be fixed on the 1.2 update that I’ll be releasing today. If it’s urgent, please send me an email for a quick fix.
Thanks!

Thanks Pirenko.

If I wanted to change the words Date, Skills, and Client, on the single page portfolio what file would i need to edit to do that?

Hi,
Please go To Samba Options>Translations tab and you’ll find all the strings there. No need to edit any file(s) ;)
Cheers!

Thank you! So far so good Pirenko the theme is easy to use and works without any flaws. So far i would recomend this them to anybody wondering.

Great! It’s good to hear that :nerdy:

incredible. I WILL buy this …at the very least, just to play with it and be like, “ooooooh … aaaaah!!!!”

Hello chipperson,
You made me laugh with this :D
Thanks!

Is there a way to add a shadow to the bar menu ?

Hi,
This can be done by adding a single line of CSS under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS. I can help you with that if you need it.
Cheers!

Yes can you help us providing to us a code sample please ?

Hi,
Try this:
#prk_responsive_menu, #menu_section { -webkit-box-shadow: 7px 7px 5px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75); -moz-box-shadow: 7px 7px 5px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75); box-shadow: 7px 7px 5px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.75); }
Here’s a good place to generate shadows CSS: http://css3gen.com/box-shadow/
Cheers!

We can see that when the screen windows is smaller than the menu, there is a colour bar to scroll the menu.

Can we have a skin scrollbar to for the pages instead of the classic scrollbar ?

Hi,
The script I’m using for the left sidebar is this http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller/
To apply it on the right-side the element to target is #prk_ajax_container. This will slow down the scrolling process, specially on older machines.
Cheers!

Can you help me with the code and where to put it to change the skin of the right scrollbar please ?

Hi,
I already told you the ID to target using that script. This should not be a “walk in the park”, because it needs to be adjusted when new pages are loaded. If you are eventually interested in a quote please send me a private message through my profile page.
Cheers!

Hi, Is there a way to don’t have the 3d menu anim, but only a slide animation left from right and right from left when the menu is opened ?

Can we change the logo when the screen is on horizontal mode (tablet and smartphone) ?

Let us know

Hi,
Yes, you have the option to make the menu slide in and out with no 3D effect. About the logo: I’m not sure if I understood, but the theme uses 2 logos: one when the menu bar is opened or on top (on small devices) and the other when the menu is collapsed (this one is optional and the theme will use the other logo if this is not found).
I hope this was clear. Thanks!

About the logos Normal mode fine When the menu is closed on the left we use another one which is fine. Is There a way to open the menu by clicking on this logo ? The problem is for smartphones mode When the logo is on top of the page. The same logo than normal screen mode is used but in very small size. We need to have the way to chose an another logo

Please send me a private message with a link to your website. Thanks!

Hi, After updating to 1.1 i’ve the following error : ” Fatal error: Call to undefined function prk_samba_header() in /home/myaccount/public_html/wp-content/themes/samba/header.php on line 19” Could check this please?

Sorry, It was my bad, I re-uploader the theme and everthing is fine now!

Ok, great ;)

wow, what a beautiful theme, thx nice work! Just one pre-sale question: what about ads plugins? Which one is the more compatible with your theme?

Thank You!

Hi,
Let me know your favorite and I’ll test it (is it free?).
Thanks!

hi you please fix a bug where if you go to a post then click the x button the loading indicator is not displaying, on a slow connection it looks like if only a blank page is loaded

Adding a search icon for small screens seems a good idea, but moving the scroll to top doesn’t. You should be able to do this with some custom CSS.
Anyway, maybe I’ll study the search icon thing and then you decide what to do. Thank you for your feedback!

or you can add it where portfolio filter is bar is , also check this out http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/AnimatedBorderMenus/index2.html

I’ll make some tests locally and will see if there’s a good way to add the search icon. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

Just a quick question…. Obviously it is nice to have the menus to collapse… but is it also possible disable it? So that it does not actually collapse and it is there all the time like your Pixia one? As I would like to have the menu options up all the time for my site which is what i like of Pixia but this one has all the templates and functions that i am after! :P

Hello again,
I have added that extra no 3D option to the theme preview landing page. Refresh the page where you select the type of preview and you should be able to see it.
Cheers!

Many thanks Pirenko! It does work much better with 3D effect off… :) also the scrolling appears to have been approved from what I can see! so thanks for that. but if you can improve it to be faster, it would be fab! but will definitely be getting it this weekend when i have some time!!! excellent work again mr pirenko!

Ok, great! Cheers :nerdy:

Awesome theme!! Is there any chance for RTL support?

This page shows 2 files http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_rtl
One is .css and the other is .js, but you don’t need to have both, because the theme will check if they exist before eventually loading them.

Ok, I need to play with the theme first before I purchase it. Thanks for the prompt and delightful response :-)

Ok. Thanks anyway ;)

Hi Pirenko.

Just another quick one.

I have set the menu colours in the menu panel for my pages, but they are not showing up. They are just showing white spaces instead.

Regards. M J

Hello again,
The colors must have a # before their hexadecimal value like shown on the example ;)

Doh!!! I knew that, I was just testing! ;\

I also knew that you knew ;)

Hello, great theme, does it work with the plugin “justified image grid”? Thanks, Regards

Hi,
I don’t own that paid plugin, but it seems to be good and updated so I don’t see a reason for not working.
Thanks :grin:

Yes, thanks for reply! ;-)

Hello The left bar with the pages inside doesn’t desapear. Can you help me ? Best regards

Hi,
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. If it’s something on your website please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

the column on the left with the logo inside doesn’t minimize as in the demo, how to do it ?

Hello again,
There are some theme options that control that. Maybe something is wrong there… Please send me a private message with a link to your website. Thanks!

Cool theme man! Keep it up!

Thanks ;)

Hi Pirenko.

What can I say – Lov’in it! As always a great design and superbly functional, I’m having loads of fun.

Can I ask 1 question?

Can I create a main menu item called “Categories” and assign it to nothing, and then have my categories for the blog listed below as a sub-menu?

Regards. Michael (M J).

Hi Pirenko. I did that, but they don’t seem to work!

Also, when I click one of my tag links, I’m getting this message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_woocommerce() in /www/sites/6b6/10e/www.michaelmuscroft.com/web/wp-content/themes/samba/inc/helper.php on line 482

Regards. Michael. michaelmuscroft. com

Hi,
That warning message will be fixed on the 1.1 update. It should be available in the next hour, but if you look at the previews comments you can find a quick fix. About the menu: I think I have the login details you send me a couple days ago so I’ll see what’s going on.
Cheers!

Bless you for the fix my friend.

Hi :) Is possible to have psd file? Thank you

Hi,
It’s not possible, because it does not exist. I build everything “on-the-fly” directly on the browser. Thanks ;)

Hi great !!! But questions before to buy…

As i would use portfolio not for works but to display events (concerts) Will you help me to add a template php page to show a list date ordered or add a drop menu in the grid to choose the date…? Also i need i google map for each portfolio item. Thnaks a lot

Hi,
I can help you with ordering the posts by date and the google maps is already support in the portfolio description (you can add it using the Visual Composer). As for the date filter it will have to be a paid customization (send me a private message if you want a quote).
Thanks and cheers!

ok thanks i gonna buy

could i add extra custom type to portfolio like duration, style, ... and to rename “portfolio” in “shows”, will i do it directly in functions.php ?

i send you a MP for a date filter (drop down) shows are only on one week (festival) so i need to order on 7 days (monday…sunday) thanks

Hi,
Adding extra fields to the portfolio requires some changes to the code. Like the date thing, this can be only implemented as a paid customization. You can change the names of the portfolio, skills, etc using the theme options (no need to edit manually any PHP file).
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, Really exited to work with this great theme! I don’t need Woocommerce so didn’t installed it and when I try to access a blog category page I have the following error “Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_woocommerce() in /home/myaccount/public_html/wp-content/themes/samba/inc/helper.php on line 482” Could you check this please? Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. That line of code should be like this:
if ((is_single() && get_post_type()=="post") || (is_archive() && (PRK_WOO=="false" || (PRK_WOO=="true" && !is_woocommerce()) )))
This small fix will be included on the next update.
Thanks and cheers!

Thank you! Also I’ve a problem with the child-theme.

The child is activated but the style.css doesn’t load to over-ride the styles of the parent. I can’t see it in the source of the page either…

So, I added it with the following line in a function.php located in the child theme : wp_enqueue_style(‘samba_child_style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ’/style.css’, false, $prk_theme->Version);

It loads the file but the child styles still doesn’t over-ride the parent ones… I can send you an URL in a PM if you want.

Actually I think it was loading the theme by default already. I just replied to your email so that we can analyze your specific issue.
Thanks ;)

Hello,

Wow, what a beautiful theme! Will use for my next project.

Presales Q: Is this theme compatible with Easy Digital Downloads plugin?

H,
I have installed and activated the plugin and no errors were generated. I also created a download entry and it seemed to be fine, but I haven’t made any further testing.
Cheers!

Thank you for a quick response! Will purchase and let you know if there are any issues. OK?

Sure, thanks!
