Hi Again Can you please have a look at this: http://udh.quattrowebmarketing.co.uk/shop/ How can I change the colours in this section for example the blue?

Also in this page: http://udh.quattrowebmarketing.co.uk/contact/ How can I change the colour of the text for SEND button?

Thanks?

Thanks, But i’d like to make the gap smaller between the title and the button.

Try adding this extra CSS code (this will hide the body text on all slides):
.flexslider .headings_body {display:none !important;}
Cheers!

As usual woke perfectly, Thanks

Me again.

Not sure if ive uncovered an issue or im just doing something wrong (more likely) but im attempting to create two columns within a full width COLOURED SECTION. Everything seems fine if its in a boxed section but immediately full width is used I lose margin/padding control and therefore everything falls out of alignment.

I want to be able to use a full width background color without losing your nice formatting/layout. Is that possible?

Ive put two versions on the home page for you to see what I mean. Im referring specifically with the content colored section at the foot of the page (Orange background. Id like the left column margin to align with the boxed content above and keep that way even when expanding to different screen resolutions.

Cheers Andy

Hi,
It seems that you are still not receiving my email. I replied to this 18h ago.
Here’s what I said: there was a glitch with this, but I think I fixed it on the last version. So please update to version 1.7 and update the 2 bundled plugins as suggested after the update. You also have the new Vertical Spacer element ;)

Yay! man you are so good to us. Thank you and no im not receiving mail so I guess ill stick to Gmail from now on. Thanks big style

Hello, I would like to do hover effect on content text link with a roll effect like this : http://goo.gl/JJzRBH

First, is-it possible to do it without removing text color selection options ?

Then, which files would I have to modify in order to do it ? I didn’t find it in css files…

Thanks.

Hi,
It’s possible to do that, but probably you’ll have to change multiple files. The theme uses CSS and jQuery to create the colors and animations. CSS files are located on the css folder, main.js file is located on the js folder and some styles are built on the fly according to the theme options (this is on the helper.php file located on the inc folder).
Cheers!

Ok thank you very much for answering ! I’ll try to do it :)

hi how can i use visual composer to display post from custom post type in a quote format,

I still don’t understand exactly what you mean, but if you have a different post type you have to code things by yourself or ask for a paid customization (to me or to the custom port type coder). Cheers!

how can i modify this short code [bquote author=”test” prk_in=”fgfdgdfggdfg” type=”colored_background”] to display posts from a custom post type, also just wondering is this short code function the the samba theme or the visual composer.

If you want to modify that shortcode you need to open the shortcodes.php file located inside the wp-content/plugins/samba_framework/ folder.
That shortcode can be inserted with the Visual Composer, but it belongs to the Samba theme.
Cheers!

Hello. Can you tell me how it is possible to easily change the background color bars shortcode accordions? thank you very much

Your email ? :)

hi,Pirenko today I used samba 1.6 ,when i Activate Samba Framework,it tips: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare prk_alc_global_head() in /www/web/play_net/wp-content/plugins/samba_framework/inc/modules/wpalchemy/MetaBox.php on line 2039

my webserver with php5.4 nginx1.4.3 mysql5.6 please help me ..

Please send me a private message with your WP login details, because the error should be related to this. Thanks!

i reinstall wordpress 3.6.1 (englinsh version), rebuild mysql database, reuplod samba theme,....And that was great,It seems it’s my fault…thankyou pireko :)

Ok, good to know ;)

Hi, this theme is awesome, thanks.

For the single post view I’m missing an option to disable the feautured image. This is important, if the featured image only shall be shown in the blog grid, but not in the single post view. (The best would be an option for every single post.)

Is there a chance to make the text font-size bigger?

Thanks.

Hi,
I’ll probably add this as an option on the next update (only for the home slider). Anyway, you can open the main.js file and on line 1377 you have pauseOnHover: true,
Make it pauseOnHover: false,
Cheers :nerdy:

Thank you. So I will wait for the update.
This is really one of the best themes ever (I’ve already tried many themes)! 10 Stars!

That’s good to know :grin:

Hey Pirenko,

Loving the ease of use with this theme but I’m really finding one thing a bit of a nuisance.

Creating line separations or padding top/bottom between my own elements. The thing is, everything works great all the time I mirror your template but immediately I start adding my own style (heading, line and then some sub copy) then I need to control the amount of vertical spacing. At the moment the only way I can see to do this is to add a class and then alter a Separators padding (top or bottom). Really? Oh man that feels long winded!!!!!!!!

Cant we just have a shortcode blank line separator that we can control the depth????? Please!!

Whilst adding a blank row creates a space it has a fixed depth and most of the time I want to tweak the value of this depth.

How do I create a small pixel depth spacing between a line separator and some sub copy that needs to appear underneath the line but not so its tucked immediately underneath.

You can see this on my home page (at the foot) in the orange panel.

Andy

Hi,
I’ll add a “spacer” element on the next update. It will have a single option: height in pixels. Cheers!

Brilliant! Thank you so much Pirenko. This theme gets better and better.

Hi can I ask two questions:

1) How can I move the logo up? 2) if you look at this page: http://udh.quattrowebmarketing.co.uk/wedding-hats/

when you go on this page all the photos are placed under each other, which is wrong but when you refresh the page, it goes to the right format , why is this?

Thanks

Hi,
To improve plugin compatibility, on version 1.4 I added the option to force a full reload on some pages. You can see how here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t94kI6HuSMA&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV

Hi Pirenko, updated to the newest version today and renewed the composer plugin. Unfortunately now my portfolio page isn’t loading. I must add that I also added the w3 total cache plugin, but have only cache enabled, no minify as this bothers the theme. Can this bother the portfolio page? Any ideas what is going wrong? For now I needed to deinstall the portfolio page. My website is very slow with this template, do you have any idea what I could do better to make this working?

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

Hi!

We have one last problem. The author box in blog posts is empty even if we filled user description correctly. Maybe the widget/plugin take user data from another source?

Thanks a lot,

best regards

Hi,
Please send me your WP login details so that I can see what’s going on. Thanks!

Hi, We’re using the services plugins in the visual composer to add our clients presenting them with a photo and a title. We can add a link but we wanted this link by clicking on the photo. How can we do this ?

Hi,
You need to edit the shortcodes.php file located inside wp-plugins/samba_framework folder.
Cheers!

Hi Thanks so much for your help yesterday Can you guide me on how to make the text on my slider exactly like the demo? Thanks

What slide do you want to see the options?

“Designed For Greatness” Please, Thanks

The more I work with this theme the more I find it powerful and yet easy to use. There’s a feature I’d love to see however, maybe in a future release: I appreciate the possibility to comment portfolio items but on the other hand the comments section might be disturbing, drawing attention from the main content. I wonder if the comments could be hidden by default and opened on demand by the means of an icon in the top bar, which would be accompanied by a number indicating how many comments were posted so far. Just an idea …

Hi,
I’ll see what can be done. I don’t want to place it on the top bar… Send me an email if you have an idea about where to put a speech bubble. Thanks!

how can we get exact dummy images and content as per demo showing ? bcz when i used one click install it shows only few menu’s and images on homepage.

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!

ok thank you @pirenko.. :) nice support btw!

When activating the framework I get an error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare prk_alc_global_head()

Hi,
Are you using the latest Wordpress Version? If not please use at least the 3.6 version. If you are already using it please send me a private message with your WP login details if possible.
Thanks!

Hi Pirenko, Love the theme, is there anyway to reduce the slider time between pics. Also is there away to turn off the pauseonhover on the homepage slider. I’ve looked at your main.js but I can’t work out which fields control these parameters. Many Thanks.

Ryan

apologies my mistake I was editing the wrong home page. So the only thing I’m stuck on is the pauseonhover which appear to be true, I need it to be false.

Hi,
Open your main.js file and near line 1770 you should change pauseOnHover: true, to pauseOnHover: false,
Cheers :nerdy:

Thanks for the quick reply! Much appreciated!

Hi,

We’ve bought the template and are very happy about it. When we purchased it, we wanted the “Menu collapsed by default (3D effect)” but we didn’t have the choice between the 4 different options before buying it. Is it something that we can activate and how? Thanks you very much for your help. Amira

Hi,
You should go to Samba Options>General tab>Minimum content width before collapsing menu and set it to a higher value (try 10000).
Cheers :nerdy:

Thanks!!

Hi, Pirenko!

I’m following your tutorial (very awesome!) in order to to obtain this service layout: http://postimg.org/image/izivhqwvx/

But I obtain just this one: http://postimg.org/image/6a9p9wf0f/

Where I can set the first layout?

Thanks a lot, best regards!

Yes, sure. And we didn’t install any not-compliant plugin > http://postimg.org/image/kfp0nyq2l/

anyway, if you have some advise we can implement via code, we can try that way ;-)

It should be working perfectly now. Please send me a private message with your WP login details please. Thanks!

In our contact page, when user try to submit a message. The wording ” Please wait..” appears and stays. It seems like the website is hung there. http://www.wordpressunit.com/wordpress-unit-contact-page/

Can you please take a look?

p.s. how do we change the wording for “Please wait” and wording confirming user has submitted the message

Hi,
The theme uses the wp_mail() function to send emails. This function is Wordpress native and if it’s not working it should be, because your hosting does not allow it.
As an alternative, you can install contact form plugin and place the form shortcode under Samba Options>Contact page tab. “Please wait” can be changed under Samba Options>Translations tab.
Cheers!
