very nice theme!

Agreed :D

Hi Pirenko, very very compliments for your template. It’s very simple and well done. It’s a pleasure customize it.

I have only a question for woocommerce. I have this messagge after the upload of the plugin.

“Fatal error: Call to a member function is_visible() on a non-object in /web/htdocs/www.fm-projects.com/home/it/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/content-product.php on line 25 “

what i did wrong?

Thank you

Nebulas

You are right. This needs a fix. Please send me a private message and I’ll get back to you soon. Thanks!

A little bug When adding texts in portfolio page, we have to enter a new blank line at the end, otherwise in the page the end of text is stick with the red line wich is under the text.

Hi,
Please make sure that you activate and create the content using the Visual Composer. The problem here is that you have the plugin active, but you are not creating the page content with it. If you don’t need it, turn it off and that spacing will be correct.
Cheers!

How can we always disable the comments in portfolio pages without making it manually when adding new pages ?

Hi,
Please take a look at this article I wrote some time ago: http://www.munto.net/blog/2012/10/08/disabling-wordpress-comments/
Cheers!

Hi, I love this theme, but I have a few questions: 1. Is it SEO-ready (like H1 etc.?) 2. Is it possible to display on the homepage simply a fixed photo instead of the full slider and it is possible to display a smaller one instead of full screen, as excample when I want to display a high format. 3. Will all my content from my old wordpress page imported automatically? 4. It completely works with wordpress, so that I also can have password protected pages etc.? 5. When I buy it, is all included then in the packages, also shopping card etc.? Thank you. Doris

Hello,
1 – The theme is compatible with Yoast SEO plugin so it’s better if you use the best available tool for this;
2 – The homepage can be any page so you are free to implement whatever you want to;
3 – When you install a new theme pages and posts are kept ;)
4 – With Wordpress yes, but if you are using plugins it depends;
5 – The theme package includes the wordpress theme and the documentation folder. Preview images aren’t included. You can see the install process here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlSJUrW0-n0&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Thanks Doris ;)

A little bug. When the screen is visible in smartphone way, the top bar in the portfolio (including socials icons) is not fixed under the header. there is a space between the 2 items.

Can you adjust this please ?

Hi,
I can’t see this on the theme preview. Please send me a screenshot by email.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

Thanks for making this fantastic theme!! I had been looking for something with a well designed attachment page layout, and this is just perfect.

I am having a bit of trouble with a jquery conflict between the theme and my only other active plugin, an old plugin called photosmash that lets anyone upload an image and the location is then shown on a google map. It is working in other themes, so before I made any changes I thought I would get your suggestions as to what I might need to edit.

www.incommon.com.au

The Google Map will not load from a link but loads on refresh www.incommon.com.au/objects also the upload form submit button doesn’t work until the page is refreshed and the GPS button only works if I have the sidebar active www.incommon.com.au/get-involved – if that gives you any hints?? Also in explorer 8 there are some display issues with the menu and the thumbnails.

Thanks again, I hope we can sort out this issue as I really love this theme!

Shannon

Hi again Pirenko, by turning off the ajax calls setting the map and submit buttons are functioning as expected! I still need to enable the sidebar to get the ‘GPS’ button to work though??

Also I am having a strange problem with the look of the google map, I have read that it may have to do with using img: 100% in the css somewhere? do you have any suggestions for fixing that up?

Thanks again

Shannon

Hello again,
Please send me a private message with your WP Login details if possible. Send me links also to the pages where you have trouble with that plugin.
Cheers!

Thanks Pirenko, I have sent the email now.

Cheers

Shannon

Hi Pirenko,

I seem to have a problem with the “skills” for portfolio page when there are too many. Right now I have about 12, and on my 1920 display it all shows. It also stacks upon eachother when the screen is really small, like 600. However, I notice that as I make the window smaller, there are many inbetween resolutions that cut off the tags. Can you replicate this on your end?

Hi,
Please send me a private message with a link so that I can analyze this.
Thanks!

Hi, just a stupid question… where i can type my facebook id and twitter and see the icon with link? :-/

Hi,
Where are you trying to place these icons? On the left sidebar or on the top sidebar (share on Social Networks)?
Cheers!

Hi there, I love this theme and my website is mostly set up. However I’m having a bit of trouble with single blog posts. What I want is to have a list of thumbnails like on this page http://wellingtonfamilyphotography.co.nz/sailing-trip/ and for the thumbnails to enlarge in a lightbox. The options I seem to have currently means the thumbnail opens in another page, and the slider doesn’t work for me either as you can’t see thumbnails or the amount of photos (and is restricted to 10). Nor do I want them stacked vertically.

Am I missing a setting here? Can single blog posts have thumbnails and lightbox?

Thanks!

Also, my home page slide doesn’t scroll through the images automatically, you have to click the buttons. Is there a way I can set this to have a few second delay for the images to slide? Again I just can’t find a setting for this if there is one.

Thanks again!

Hi,
About the thumbnails thing: you can use the image gallery element on the Visual Composer. You can see a Image Gallery sample here: http://www.pirenko.com/samba/shortcodes/
About your homepage slider: under that page content you have some options. One of them is to autoplay the slideshow.
Thank you for your kind comments :nerdy:

Hello, I recently bought Samba Wordpress template, this theme has two versions:

- Menu opened - Menu collapsed

I bought the menu opened by mistake and I had to buy the other one too, so I’ve paid twice for the same theme.

Is there any option for me to pay back the money the first theme?

I am also having many technical problems to set the theme, I can not configure the slides, put background color to the captions and some other things.

Would it be possible to get a guide to using the theme?

thank you very much

Hi,
There’s no open and collapsed version. You have bought a theme that allows you to do both things :)
Please take a look at the videos shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlSJUrW0-n0&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
About that collapsed menu option: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLiLS8VjDT8
Cheers!

Hi guys. I’m ready to buy your beautiful Samba template! I’ve just a question: I’m trying to value responsive version on iOS, but the demo template doesn’t transform. Can you send me the url of a Samba-based site where I can see it, please? Thanks a lot, best regards

Hi,
I’m not sure what you are asking. Is there any problem with the theme preview on iOS? If so what device are you using?
Here’s the direct preview link: http://www.pirenko.com/samba_land/
Thanks!

I just wanted to say – whoever gave you just 1 star was an idiot. This site is one of the best ive seen in Themeforest.

Most of them are bland repetitions, a nightmare to use for the average designer and overly complex to tweak for those that want their creative work to stand out. Some throw in every but the kitchen sink but when you go to use it and tweak it they are impossible for everyone but very experienced coders to work with. Unless you have weeks available to mess about understanding it that is.

Then look at customer service – Pirenko, you are a really dedicated and supportive individual who takes a pride in looking after his customers and where possible doesn’t live by the infamous line… “its beyond the scope of our support”

So whoever gave you a 1 star was a fool. This is one theme I would love to see at the top of the theme charts. We should all support you Pirenko.

Good luck. You have nothing but praise from me.

Thanks Andy! I really appreciate your kind words. The one star rating is a bit annoying, because I did not had any negative feedback so probably it came from someone who does not have the best intentions.
Thanks once again :grin:

I thought as much. I guess jealousy could be considered a compliment but I personally think its just pathetic.

Hi nice theme.

In a portfolio item, is it possible to have a video as one of the slides instead of just a slide of images. As in having the first slide a video, then second and third an image?

Hi,
The theme settings will be kept for sure, but some servers don’t allow importing media from external sources and if you are working locally it will never fetch your images from there. My suggestion is that you get a maintenance mode plugin and start working directly on your server. As an alternative you can try a multisite Wordpress install and in the end move the new Wordpress website to the root folder (or wherever it’s good for you).
Cheers!

So the default wordpress export will also export media and the settings? I didnt see an option to export those as well. Im actually building the website on a subdomain of my main one so i dont think that will be a problem for importing from external sources, but i was trying to minimize downtime anyway

No… What I meant was that the theme settings are stored on the database. This means that if you export the whole database your settings will be kept. If you want to minimize the downtime I think you should try a multisite install. This allows you to have more than one Wordpress install/website running at the same time.
Thanks!

Hello, I’ve just bought the theme and everything is great, but I can’t seem to find the photos from the live preview. I really love the photos that you’ve used and I would like to use them on my website as well. Thanks :)

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! The images aren’t included with the theme like advertised on the theme description. If you scroll down the theme description page you’ll see where I got them. Some of them are free to use while other are not, so you need to ask their owners if you can use them.
Cheers ;)

Hi, It is possible to change the height of each size menus located in the left menu bar ? It is possible to change the height of the top bat on the portfolios or blog pages ? Thx

Thx for your answer. But is it possible to quickly change the icon indicator for sub menus (+) with one icon of your setlist ?

This is done on the main.js file. Search for icon-plus.

thank you

Hi thanks for the update it fixed must of the bugs except the single post loading bar when closing =(. Can you tell me the code i need to add to fix this myself (i cleared cache and running chrome android. ) this is the best theme and support by far, I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in this theme to buy it and help PIRENKO produce more awesome themes and provide excellent support.

After a bit more testing, the loading bar when in single page is closing, it does work but only on desktop or tablet view not mobile.

Hi,
I’ll take care of this in the next couple of hours. Send me a private message and I’ll send you a quick fix. Thanks!

i’ve bought this amazing template! what can i say. PIRENKO is very professional designer and offers a great support! 10/10 love this great work

Hello,
Thank you for purchasing again. Let me know if you need help with something. Cheers :grin:

Morning,

Just a passing query.

The image dimensions you use- 900×598px are they the max or just the size you feel is acceptable. Obviously on larger screens these just get stretched. Do you feel this is a compromise for loading speeds or can I use larger images which will work better on larger screens.

Btw… so far it all feels very easy to setup and use. Great work

Cheers Andy

I was trying to decide on a good size to output (width) for slideshows. No point using sizes that will bloat my site but at the same time I want to make sure Im showing everything at its best. No biggie my friend as I can just follow your examples.

Cheers

Ok, I just wanted to explain how it works ;)

no problem. All good

Hi Pirenko, just test-browse this on my Samsung Galaxy S-Advance, and I can’t do anything with the ‘Related Projects’ item, they’re just displayed there untapable. Are you aware of this?

Hello again,
The Samnsung problem should be fixed now. Thanks once again!

Yeah, saw it. I only replying to show off my new shiny badge here…

It looks good indeed! Thank you for purchasing ;)
