Hi there,

Ive just rejoined Team Pirenko. Superb theme and I cant wait to get stuck in. I have a sneaky feeling this is about to be your most successful theme. 95 in a week!! not bad my friend and you deserve the success. good luck

Hello Andy,
Thank you for purchasing again and also for your kind comments! I’m sure that this time adding content to pages will be much easier with the help of the Visual Composer page builder ;)

It is possible to had an outline to each image ? Where can we found all the icons elements like the cross to return to portfolio, arrow to open the menu, plus on image … for skinning them ?

I’m sorry, but I can’t do the customizations that you want. You need to have basic CSS knowledge if you want to change the theme default behavior. This is my last help with this so add this extra code:
#alt_logo_holder,#responsive_logo_holder{outline: none;}
Cheers!

Thx for giving me the icon list. But where i can change them on my web server. Where are they located ?

Hi,
These icons are font icons (they are not images). The fonts are located inside the inc/fonts folder. The theme allows you to add your own images on the pages content if you want to.
Cheers!

Great theme friend!

Just two things if i could trouble you for a second.

1. Where are the shortcodes? I can’t find them anywhere.

2. Can i change the /portfolios slug to something different? ie: www.mysite.com/work

thanks :)

Hi,
1 – Because the theme features the Visual Composer you don’t need any shortcodes, because they are all generated by the Visual Composer. If you want to see them for a specific element, add it using the Visual Composer and then activate the text editor to see the post/page raw content;
2 – Yes, go to Samba Options>Advanced tab and you’ll find that option there (don’t use special characters);
Cheers!

thanks a lot :)

You’re welcome ;)

About the slides It’s not possible to change the body color of the button link. The color of the body change like the title color.

Can you add this option please ?

Hi,
The button text color is the site background color. This makes sense, because it works on all the other buttons. I just don’t want to flood the theme with options.
If you want to change this send me a private message and I’ll help you with some custom CSS code.
Cheers!

About the portfolio The 3 ways (with titles, grid, masonry) don’t seem to work. By selecting one of them the look of the portfolio doesn’t change. How can we add the filter bar on top of the portfolio index ? We add some different skills, but the bar on top is not visible as your exemple.

Just found the solution, with your tutorial.

Ok, great ;)

i have a problem for portfolio.

when click load more button, its not be showing more?

Hi,
I don’t understand what you mean. Please explain more clearly and send me a specific link to a page.
Cheers!

http://www.bodrumdesigners.com/portfolyo/

can you check this?

load more button not working?

Hi,
Please send me a private message through my profile page with your WP login details so that I can see how you have the portfolio posts organized. I think probably your page slug is the same as the portfolio slug and it’s generating this error…
Thanks!

Hi Pirenko, what a great theme! I was just wondering: is it possible to sort products in the shop by category, and is it possible to add a search bar for the products in the shop? Or is this all controlled by the woocommerce plugin?

PS. I am amazed by the great support your giving here! hope you don’t forget to sleep :)

Hi,
These two things can be done without any trouble.
Thank you for your kind comments!

Do you have the demo .xml file featured in the purchased theme.

Hi,
I recommend you to stick the 1-click install sample content feature, because the XML import does not work perfectly on all servers. Also, I can help you with setting up a specific page/content if you can’t figure it out. If you want to give it a try anyway, here’s the content file http://www.pirenko.com/no_erasing/updates/samba/samba.xml
Thank you for purchasing!

How can i delete/disable the entire section “LEAVE A COMMENT” in the bottom of each portfolio page (allowing users to comment the portfolio) ?

Wich css line do we have to edit to add a custom icon before each title page ?

We have a mailer daemon and failure notice trying to send a message via the contact form.

Hi,
1 – Social icons: you need to edit the social.php wp-content/plugins/samba_framework/inc/theme_widgets/pirenko-social-links/ (send me a private message if you need help with this);
2 – This can’t be done with CSS. Try adding the icon to the title (use single quotes). Example Your title;
3 – The theme is using the default Wordpress wp_mail() function. If it’s not working is because your hosting company does not allow you to do that. I suggest that you contact them about this matter.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

Do you know if the contact page’s email function is working properly? or anyone else who has bought thme test it out? I have tried testing it but no luck…..

Hi,
This should have been fixed on version 1.2. If you are already using this version please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

i am using 1.2 version… i will send you the link

Ok, thanks!

Pirenko,

Is there a way to make sure the google map on the contact page shows a destination marker?

Hi,
This is configured on the Google Maps website and has nothing to do with the theme. Here’s some help: https://support.google.com/coordinate/answer/2770613?hl=en
Cheers!

Right – but the support link you gave is for dispatching of some sort – not regular users of Google Maps? Can you walk me through it? Also, in Chrome only ,the map on the page has a “Loading…” message that hangs on the map.

Here’s another help link on that https://support.google.com/maps/answer/62843?hl=en
About the loading thing: I’m getting the same on my side, but I get it also when I try with the Wordpress default theme. I think something is not working properly with the Google API at this moment, but I’ll make some more tests soon. Thanks!

Dear Pirenko, the theme is amazing! One question, in Portfolio section, is possible to place a full wide iframe instead of a slider? I want to charge one 360º picture or virtual tour with an iframe.

Hi,
The videos are embeded with iframes too so you should be ok. If you prefer send me a private message with your iframe code and I’ll test it. Cheers!

1.translation
(1). on contact page: “name, email” not found for translation.
(2). on comment: miss spelling “nome”. it should be name
(3). I can’t find text on placehold search widget.
(4). how can I translate on contact page? it’s not scanned by WPML?

2. blog/portfolio posts are not showing all of them at first visit on the pages.
when you click ALL then it shows all of them. mostly it missed the lastest post. (if you have 4 posts, it shows 3 posts) it also looks like the 1st post is behind next post.

3. Related Projects
Related Projects is not aligned vertically. it displays wider and bigger. it looks like missing “float:left;” (looks like) is there any way to set it up? I want to make it like your sample.(http://www.pirenko.com/samba/portfolios/red-soul/)

4. Blog related posts
is it possible to show related posts on blog single pages?

5. Stop loading error on chrome.
Some times it stops on chrome. I missed the error message. do you know that? I will let you know when It happens again.

Thanks,

Hi,
1 – All those translations are located under Samba Options>Translations tab and Samba Options>Contact tab. If you use WPML plugin make sure that you install also the WPML Module called String Translation. Send me your WP login details if you can’t find them;
2 – Is this on the preview or on your website? If it’s on your wesbsite try turning off the plugins you may have;
3 – Send me a private message with a link to your a page where you have this issue;
4 – Only the next and previous button like it is on the preview;
5 – Never had that issue. Is this on the preview?
Cheers!

1. thanks, I don’t have the module. I used localization plugin.
and I use WPML. this works mostly. but I can’t find these words.
2. I don’t understand the plugins means. I don’t use any other plugins. it’s duplicated at same position. it might be a bug. I will send you screen shot via your email.

3.I figured out. I had 2 related posts. more than 3, it looks ok. it might be that you should fix for the future.

4, 5.. what do you mean preview.

it happened again. I have been playing with this theme for 1 day. it happened several times. I will try to get sceen shot and send you. I have read a forum. it happened.

thanks, and congrats! this theme is getting popular and popular :)

Hi,
With theme preview I mean when you test it on my server and not on your own install.
Thanks!

Hiya

I wanted to give you a suggestion, which you might like, to implement in a future version if you like it.

Maybe you could implement the “hide sidebar” button for higher resolutions too. So users can pick themselves if they want to see the sidebar or not. That would be cool I think!

Sincerely. Sarah

Hi,
I’ll think about this one too. Thanks!

Hi pirenko,

Since the updated to 1.2….. the collapsed menu dont show the smaller logo on the side and instead on the top… which is not a bad thing and looks fine… but the only problem is that it does not actually change to its smaller logos I have uploaded within the menu…. any idea?

also hopefully this will be the last ones….. within your portfolio… i have it as grid but then have created skills categories so that you can narrow down the skills as you view your portfolio… now i have noticed then when you click specific skills, it narrows the projects up but at the same time i have a big bold writing above it stating what skill category it is… how do i remove this?

pirenko, dont worry about the portfolio question… i have figured it out after watching your very helpful video!

Hello,
So, do you still need anything? If it’s something specific on your site please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

how can i change to corner image in portfolio grid mode when you hover over the item, i want to add custom icons like if the post had a video it would show a video icon etc instead of just a full screen icon.

If you want to change the icons you need to edit manually the portfolio php files located on the theme root. As for the plugins I didn’t tested them, so I don’t know how them work. Cheers!

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin allows custom styling it places template files in your root theme, so that even after updates it does not affect the style. i would highly recommend you consider implementing this, it just needs the style copied across to the template file. if you do not implement it can you tell me where the related code is in your script so that i can implement it myself. thanks

Let’s try this: send me a private message with a link to your website and I’ll see what kind trouble you are facing. Thanks!

Hi,

I sent a message to you and looking forward to your response.

Thanks.

Hello,
I just replied. Cheers :nerdy:

Wow. This is an incredible theme. I seriously have to say, it may be the best current theme.

Hi,
Can you please try the screen that says 3D effect off? In the meantime I’ll try to test it anyway.
Thanks!

It started to work, maybe chrome on the s4 just had to load the styles and javascript for a bit first.

Ok, great ;)

Hi, Pirenko! I have a problem.

On the page “Author Archive” are displayed absolutely all articles , not a particular author.

I’m sorry, English is not my native language

I sent you email with the same subject

I just replied ;)

Yes, thanks!

Hey Pirenko. I love this theme so far, excellent work! I just updated to the 1.2 version. On a single blog post, the “X” button to go back to the blog isn’t linking back to the blog. When I click it, it just goes to nothing. Is there a quick fix for this?

Also, if you’re on an internal page and click the logo to go back to the home page, the menu item in the navigation doesn’t highlight as being back on the homepage.

Do you have a dedicated support website or do we have to just contact you here all the time?

Really sweet theme tho man!!!!

Hi,
If possible please send me a private message with your WP login details so that I can take a look at it. Both things should be working…
Cheers!
