Hello

I purchased this theme and i want to remove the footer which has all the logos.

How can we do that

In [Appearance > Widgets > Footer 1 > Text Widget] or in [Daisho > General > Footer Layout] if you’d like to remove that row (widget area) as well. More: http://docs.devatic.com/daisho/#footer

You can have any footer layout, multiple rows and from 1 to 12 columns inside each row. Each column is a widget area that can be populated with widgets or custom text/html in [Appearance > Widgets].

Hi Flow, I want to ask you something about portafolio. Do you know if threre any possibility to show our portafolio thumbnails in a random position? If you have any idea or code to use please it will be fantastic. http://www.locarmen.com/ Thanks. Javier

Yes, in [Pages > (any portfolio page) > Order].

You can also make thumbnails have random sizes in [Portfolio > (any project) > Thumbnail size].

Here’s a valuable source of information: http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-common-changes – if you have any other general questions that qualify for FAQ entries, let me know! I’m happy to answer those.

Thnaks a lot you are a machine!! I got it YEahhhh!!

very good theme and really helpfull support. i can recommend higly this theme and this author. it’s not like other support forums, where you place a question and get no or poor answer. keep on the good work!

Thank you for your kind words :) I’m glad that you found the support forum helpful!

Hey there, your theme looks amazing! Been shopping around for the right theme and I’m just about to purchase this theme, but I have a quick question.

From all the showcase links that you’ve provided, when you click on any one’s project, it brings you to a separate page to view the project while scrolling down. Is there anyway to make separate galleries that pop out on the columned pages? - For example, If I’m brought to a page that was titled Sketches, I don’t want to be brought to a page with sketches, I want to view the sketches in a dimmed window and arrow keys will change it.

I haven’t seen that in any of the showcased sites, so I’m wondering if there was a way to do it. THANKS!

I’m glad that you like it!

Showcase websites are real live websites, some may be customized.

What you’re asking for sounds like WordPress’s [gallery] shortcode or lightbox solution.

This is native WordPress’s [gallery] with Jetpack plugin enabled: http://twentythirteendemo.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/milkshakes/ (but I’m not sure if it does this masonry effect by default or if it’s something they customized).

Example Lightbox plugins are listed here: http://support.forcg.com/topic/knowledge-base-plugins It looks like that: http://wordpress.org/plugins/prettyphoto-media/screenshots/ and it can be enabled on a standard page or in a blog post. It works with any theme.

Hello, is there a way i can change the pictures in sub pages to small thumbnails instead having a big image and a long scroll bar?

this is the page of the product “http://cadesignhome.com/?portfolio=flag” i want to make it show like this: http://i43.tinypic.com/bgz9cx.jpg

You can do .project-slides img { width: 33%; } if all images are supposed to be like that. Or please just add style="width: 33%; or a special class that you’ll style in style.css for individual images – http://gyazo.com/7783ee437e8f16eae588685bacb8f0b1.png

I would use that class method because then you would be able to make them 100% wide on mobile phones and 33% wide on desktop computers. So:

  • Add class="my-special-class" to images that are supposed to be narrower.
  • In [Konzept > Styling > Custom CSS Code] please add .my-special-class { width: 33%; } @media (max-width: 950px){ .my-special-class { width: 100%; } }

will try that tonight, thank you

Hello, we have some problems with the porfolio when we saw the site through a mobile device (for example iOS7).

We click on the porfolio image, than on the title and after a “scroll on top” nothing else happens.

I think that it’s a mix of older and current files. Root directory files aren’t from 1.9.6, and /modules/ folder is updated to 1.9.6.

On line 692 in the source code I found $container.isotope({ (from project-script.php which doesn’t exist in 1.9.6) and the same piece of code, but with newer settings, is located in /modules/library-isotope/portfolio.js.

Can you please confirm if that’s correct? Updating all the files to 1.9.6 will make it work like seen here: http://themes.devatic.com/daisho

If you need us to login to your WordPress or server and confirm that, you can create a support ticket with login details.

Hi, we deleted the theme and installed it again. Now it works on iOS!

But now, we have a problem with the portfolio, before the upgrade we can move every slide with the drag and drop, now we saw a lot of shortcodes instead of the graphic way.

Decision to remove SuperSlide Editor was made entirely by analyzing facts: http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-195 – solution that had more benefits won.

In this theme project view looks like a standard page so I think it should be edited like a standard page in back-end as well. More: http://docs.devatic.com/daisho/#portfolio

SuperSlide Editor will remain only for Konzept theme because in that theme we’re dealing with real slides that need such editor.

Question. I noticed that the portfolio posts work when you click on them on the homepage, but when you type in the url for that posts, it gives me a 302 redirect to the homepage.. Why is that? Is that a setting that I missed?

When you enter http://example.com/portfolio/some-project is will start with 301 to add the missing slash and then proceed normally.

When you enter http://example.com/portfolio/some-project/ is will start with 200.

When you enter the project directly and hit the “Back” button, it will reload the page and generate 200 status.

I think that having a page reload to go to the portfolio page is necessary because otherwise how wp_title(); or body_class(); can execute and refresh? Not to mention any custom data added by plugins.

Having projects open in a dynamic way was an experiment and it works for many people since it raises various limitations there is also standard mode available. You can enable page reloads everywhere and make it behave casually by following “Portfolio – enable page reloads” in http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-common-changes

Let me know if you need more information about that!

I bought & installed theme, however it says, This theme requires the following plugins: Contact Form 7 and Symple Shortcodes.

This theme recommends the following plugins: Envato Toolkit and WordPress Importer.

WHY?

Most themes on ThemeForest use TGM Plugin Activation class which allows themes to bundle some plugins. At this moment it’s a requirement for theme submission to ThemeForest: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/472

  • You don’t have to install Contact Form 7 and Symple Shortcodes. You can skip them or install replacement plugins.
  • We use Contact Form 7 to generate the contact form here: http://themes.devatic.com/daisho/contact/ – we didn’t write our own forms plugin, simply because Contact Form 7 is secure, complete and many people are already familiar with it – http://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
  • As for the Symple Shortcodes, it adds “S” icon to your Visual Editor in the admin panel that allows you to insert tabs, toggles, pricing tables etc. You don’t have to use it if you don’t need tabs and toggles or you can use any other shortcodes plugin if you wish.

More plugins: http://support.forcg.com/topic/knowledge-base-plugins

I hope that clarifies everything!

Hi Flow,

I would like to buy your theme and for sure I’ll but I’ll customize it a lot for my project and I’m waiting for version 2.0 . I read somewhere on your forum thatyou will add many new features on version 2.0. Like revolution slider? Flat design?

When V2 will be ready? Can you write more about it?

Btw. One of the best theme on ThemeForest. Thanks!

Yes, I’m considering replacing our slider with LayerSlider or some other slider solution from CodeCanyon but this topic isn’t sticky anymore so I’m surprised that you’ve found it :) A lot of elements have flat style already. We’ll just keep going in that direction.

It isn’t any official announcement or a promise but all further updates like 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 etc. will rather add support for more things and none should alter main template structure significantly.

It means that if you use v1.9.6 and customize it then after updating to newer versions like 2.0, 90% – 100% of your changes should remain intact.

There isn’t any date set for the update yet but either 1.9.7 or 2.0 will appear soon because iPad displays the website in responsive mode and that’s what I want to fix soon. Mobile mode starts at 950px and it will be shifted to probably 720px.

Thanks a lot

Hello :)

I would like to have a portfolio with certain amount of projects from certain category on the home page here – http://web-id.net/keg/ – without filter if it’s possible.

Also I would like to have an regular portfolio section with all the projects and categories.

Do you have an idea, how this can be done :)

Thank you in advance!

All the best :)

Sure. Steps to follow:

1) Please update to 1.9.6 because some options mentioned below may not be present in your current version.

2) Please go to [Pages > Homepage > Exclude Categories] and exclude or include some categories for the homepage. It needs to have “Portfolio Template” selected and it needs to be your front page in [Settings > Reading > Static Front Page].

3) Please create another portfolio page in [Pages > Add New] and pick different set of categories the same way.

I hope that helps!

Thank you for your answer, but .. :)

Everything has disappeared from my download section, so I can’t download the latest version – no theme files, no purchase code, nothing!?

I wrote to the ENVATO SUPPORT, but there is no answer from them!

Here is the screenshot. that I’ve sent them – http://web-id.net/Missing_Downloads.png

So, what do I have to do now!?

Thank you!

Cheers :)

They should get back to you shortly. I opened a ticket 2 days ago and got a reply today so this usually takes 2 – 5 days.

I hope that they’ll be able to shed more light on that :)

Hello, I want to remove the text all works portfolio page.

Hello, please try ‘Portfolio Filter – remove “All Works”’ – http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-common-changes

Thank you very much …)

I just updated this theme to the latest version and it wiped all my data :(

From which version were you updating? What data disappeared? If your homepage turned into blog, please visit [Settings > Reading] and restore your previous homepage. Posts, pages, projects and everything else shouldn’t be affected by updating.

Hi, I installed the plugin, Add Link To Facebook. I was meesing around trying to add that plugin features to Portfolio as well since I am using the Portfolio posts as main blog posts.

Not only was I successful, I also messed up the custom field setting for the Add New Portfolio page….

Please tell me how I can fix the problem….

Thank you!!!

Most plugins that work with JavaScript initialize their code only once on page load. Therefore, you would probably need to enable page reloads for portfolio to make it work. Please see “Portfolio – enable page reloads” – http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-common-changes

After that you can insert this in project-container.php. It will start behaving like a normal WordPress theme (so, direct project entrance launches single-portfolio.php and everything happens with PHP only).

I tried that above but it did not solve the problem; I am not sure if I communicated the problem correctly… The priority right now is to fix the portfolio slide management. It is gone and instead there is the normal text entrance box. How do I bring the interface back so that I don’t have to code everything in. This is how it looks now. http://wineandinterior.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/problem1.jpg

Thank you

It’s been removed since WordPress 3.6 because this version of WordPress introduced native embeds and video/audio API. Our shortcodes that do the same thing are useless since then.

Removal of SuperSlide for this projects brings more benefits than disadvantages. See comparison table: http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-195

You can still use “Add Media” button to insert images and videos the same way and you can paste a link to YouTube or Vimeo to insert videos.

SuperSlide Editor will remain for Konzept theme because we’re in fact dealing with real “slides” there but in Daisho the project view looks like a post or page so it’s just more convenient for everyone to edit it like a post or page.

[slide] shortcode was left for backwards compatibility reasons but you don’t have to use it at all – you can just use the code that WordPress generates for you. There is no manual typing of anything.

Hi there. I´ve just noticed that recently I am not receiving emails from the Contact Form 7 plug- in….. any ideas how to fix this? It says the message has been sent, but I don´t receive it. I´m on Godaddy hosting.

Thanks

Please see “Q: My contact form doesn’t send emails. What to do?” – http://support.forcg.com/topic/daisho-common-changes

GoDaddy has reported issues if it comes to sending emails (as far as I remember they don’t send emails to Gmail at all unless you have some special configuration). They should be able to give you more information about that.

If Contact Form 7 doesn’t work = WordPress or PHP doesn’t work on this server because mail() and/or wp_mail() can’t be used. Contact Form 7 is one of the most popular plugins out there.

Hello! Great theme! I’m trying to figure out how to use the classes you already have set up for contact form 7. On our contact page: http://welovetothink.com/contact/ I put a quiz but it keeps styling it funny (as you should see). How can I make it look like the other items on the form? Thanks!

Hey Flow! Thanks for the quick response! I removed that line and it didn’t help much :/ I assume I should update to the newest version though I’m afraid of what potential changes we’ve made to it. Is there a safe way of testing this? Thanks!

I figured it out! Lot’s of major changes in the theme since the last update! Only thing I can’t figure out how to do (and I’m trying to avoid importing all the data since my site is live) are the new shortcodes – how do I fix the [highlight] now? Thanks Flow!

Highlight was removed because TinyMCE that you have in WordPress offers text color option, <mark> tag in HTML highlights the text and Symple Shortcodes offers highlight shortcodes. Here’s a screenshot from my localhost: http://gyazo.com/5bfbc6c3d3cb049d37056a11eae32650.png

Let me know if you need more information about anything!

Yes, changes are vast but I think that it’s the last time the main structure of this theme is updated. It’s already well done in 90% of places so further updates will only introduce new features, fix minor bugs and improve the style.

I cannot change the menu icon. I am having issues displaying description field for menus I cannot find

” ‘Screen Settings’ at the top of WordPress admin panel.”

as described in the documentation…

Thank you in advance!

In the newest theme version you can use CSS Classes and their field is visible by default. Here’s a list of available icons and their classes: http://docs.devatic.com/daisho/#header

thank you!

How can I link each one of the “Client.png” images located in the footer to outbound web site(s)? If I only have one site to link up to at this time with more adding later, can you help make that happen? Thanks!!

Sure, you can use standard HTML links to achieve that. So, if one single image has this code:

  • <img src="http://themes.devatic.com/daisho/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/client1.png" alt="" />
  • then it would become <a href="http://example.com/"> <img src="http://themes.devatic.com/daisho/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/client1.png" alt="" /></a>

hi, is this possible to replace the way of showing portfolio minatures when mous on top? when you load the main page you see pictures and when the mouse is on the picture it turns in to one coloured rectangle with the title and what im asking is if its possible to have the title first and when mouse is on top it will turns in to the picture? thank you very much :)

I’m sure that I’ve seen this on the support forum and I provided the full code someone but I can’t find it now.

  • Hide image: .project-img-visible { opacity: 0; }
  • Show on mouse over: .element:hover .project-img-visible { opacity: 1; }
  • Show the title and description on mouse over: probably there is such option in [Portfolio > Add New > Display Thumbnail Meta Data] but in case it isn’t please use this: .element .symbol, .element .name, .element .categories { opacity: 1; visibility: visible; }

All that code should go to /modules/library-isotope/portfolio.css, at the bottom.

thanks, it works :)

i have one more question about page of portfolio: there is too long distance between description and text below, how to change it?

If you’re referring to a project view and description there then it’s: .project-description { margin-bottom: 3em; } in style.css on line 344.

HI! i am trying to edit content and the font is not the one demo theme is using. how do i keep the same presets?? thank u!

This file is loaded in the source code of your website and it changes this font. Now I see that you added .welcome-text { font: 300 50px/1.125 "Open Sans", sans-serif; } in custom CSS code and font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; in inline style and now this takes priority.

Ok, how do I change the font of the welcome text on the homepage to Russian language without the font becoming bold automatically? because right now it does not look the way it should be( regular). we cleaned the theme and installed it again and the font is still bold.

It’s currently not a clean installation. I see some font changes in the custom code: p { font-family: "PT Serif", arial, sans-serif; }. And there’s a thin text in Open Sans above the slideshow: http://gyazo.com/b2def682b13e98b3e4a83a711b9a1a41.png

Is this resolved now?

Hi I am trying to create a link from my slider homepage to open a multimedia file in a new window? I have put the following code into the custom .css box but cant get it to work…?

[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=IGxQ9FJzB6I width=1280 height=720 anchor=http://threeguru.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/corporate-video-production.png]

Any help would be much appreciated guys. Thanks, Lee

May I ask you to create a support ticket? I’m not certain where that code is placed so ideally I’d need your WordPress login and password to check that.

In [Slideshow > Add New] you can add slides with images. From what I see this works well on your website at this moment. Slide’s button can link somewhere, to some external location.
