Hi Can you provide me with any guide to make my woocommerece shop like yours (the demo)? Thanks

Hello,
The preview shop does not have any special options. Here’s what I always do:
1 – After activating the plugin I install all the pages like recommended by the plugin;
2 – Select the color that I prefer under Woocommerce>settings>general;
3 – Increase the images size so that they don’t look blurry. This is under Woocommerce>settings>catalog;
Cheers!

Hi How can I make the slides to change every few seconds? Thanks

Oh, thanks

And how do I make the sliders to auto rotate?

It’s one of the options of that page content. The custom page options panel is located under the page content when you are editing it. Cheers!

Can i use products with “size” variable fields? In this case, can i replace the “add to cart” button with “see details” to open the product page?

Hi,
Yes, you can do both. Cheers!

Great looking theme! Thinking of buying it. Is there any way to have two portfolio grid pages? one where i put video portfolios and one where i put photo portfolios. Hope that makes sense. Basically I want what this site has. Work tab with the drop down menu and two different portfolios http://mammothmedia.tv/section/film/

Hi, sure… You can create unlimited portfolios with multiple layouts and other display options. Cheers!

Last question :) Is there a way to keep menu bar uncollapsed ? I have some submenus I’d like to always display. Thanks

Hi,
You can try adding this CSS code (I’m not sure if it will work perfectly):
.sf-menu ul {display:block !important;}
Cheers :nerdy:

Works great THX

there is a slight bug in index file:

Notice: Undefined property: WP_Error::$slug in /../../../wp-content/themes/samba/index.php on line 52

Hi,
This seems to bre related with a “missing” category. Please send me a private message with a link.
Cheers!

Hi,

I would like to run your theme on the corporate style. Any guide lines I could follow. I am quite new to Wordpress. How would I get the slider to show up on the home page? and get the what we do and our latest work to show up like the demo site?

Thank you

Hi,
Did you already checked the video tutorials here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlSJUrW0-n0&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Let me know if you still need help. Thanks!

Excellent! thank you and will check out the videos and get in touch for additional help.

On your demo – http://www.pirenko.com/previews/?theme=samba you have a page ‘Video portfolio’ These grid images open as full screen videos. How do we replicate so when we make a new portfolio item it too opens as a full page video? Thanks

dont worry I worked it out :)

Hi,
That has to do with the parent portfolio page options. In that case under the portfolio page, on the options panel, you have the option “Load posts on the same page”: select “Yes – Full Width layout”;
Cheers!

hi how do we fix this error:

The following plugins need to be updated to their latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with this theme: Samba Framework and Visual Composer by wpbakery – Tweaked for Samba Theme. The updates are located on the theme root folder inside the external_plugins folder.

Hi,
That’s not error… It’s a message asking you to update the 2 plugins that are included with the theme. This video will help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0JrPSouk6U&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Cheers!

sure, thanks. have updated

Hi again,

I want to replicate the Video Portfolio structure youve recently put up but cant seem to make it work. If possible is it possible to get one of your lovely tutorials. If not, my main issues are:

1) Getting Vimeo content to work 2) Stop URL input from going blank when you input a Vimeo URL 3) When you select a thumbnbail the page slides down to reveal content but all I get is a massive version of thumbnail and Portfolio Title/Text which I dont want. The Vimeo link also doesnt appear

Cheers Andy

Hi,
Number 1 and 2 should be related. What code are you using? It should be an iframe. Send me the sample code by email if you prefer;
3 – Under the portfolio page, on the options panel, you have the option “Load posts on the same page”: select “Yes – Full Width layout”;
Cheers!

hmm. I know this is me and not you. Could you email me an example vimeo iFrame code and then explain where exactly it should go to make it work? Everything im doing is wrong and I think im following your instructions. Im trying to put the whole of the iFrame code into the Image 2 Upload on the post settings. It didnt work!

The video code that you sent me works perfectly so I’m still unsure of what problem you are having. I just replied to your latest email anyway. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, I updated the theme but now I have a message in my header

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /web/htdocs/www.fm-projects.com/home/it/wp-content/themes/samba/inc/helper.php on line 1973

What is this?

Hi,
There seems to be a problem with one of your portfolio pages (it seems to be saved, but without information). I’ll remove this warning on the next update, but in the meantime you can send me a private message for a quick fix.
Cheers!

sorry I haven’t put the skills of portfolio.. :P I’m Stupid

Well, that’s the reason, but I’ll improve this anyway ;)

How to modify the order of Team members? We tried modifying the post date, but didn’t work.

Could you also incorporate a testimonials functionality?

Thanks,

Hi,
Changing the date should change the members order. If you have any active plugins please turn them off an try again. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with your WP login details.
About the testimonials: try this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/testimonials-widget/
Cheers!

Hi there,

I want to replicate the single member page for myself but not to feature as part as a team (as there is only me)

Specifically, the large image header, column page structure and how youve created the left hand column text, underlines, Boxed job desc and addition of social icons. Obviously, as this is just for me I dont need the FWD & BACK arrows.

http://www.pirenko.com/samba/member/jett-carpenter/

How do I do this just for me and not a whole team?

Cheers

So, why don’t you add that link to the menu?

Hmmm. Perhaps you could just give me the fractional divisions of the columns you used on the Team Member Page. Its obviously split into 3 columns but what are these fractions please?

Cheers

I’m still a bit lost on what you are asking, but on the single page I’m using a special layout that has some columns that have a fixed width.

Hi Can I ask you 3 questions please?

1) How can I make the text smaller for the Title of each page? 2) if you look at this page http://udh.quattrowebmarketing.co.uk How can I put the button in the same line as the text? 3) How can I change the button to lets say “Circle”

Thanks so much .

Instead of “h1” target “body”.

Thanks, and on this page: http://udh.quattrowebmarketing.co.uk/meet-the-designer/

where is says “Ana maria ortega” is that H2 or H3 tag? because I tried changing that size in CSS but doesn’t seem to work Thanks.

It’s not any of those tags. It’s a special size and like I told you above: the theme uses different types of titles, font weights and sizes depending on what parts of theme they are used. You can change them with Custom CSS, but you can’t keep asking for my help here. I replied over 30 comments from you and most of them have to do with changes you want to make to the theme.
Cheers!

hi , when i duplicate the portfolio theme template and change the name the meta box disappears from the edit page, can you tell me how to fix this.

Hi,
You are trying to change the theme features so it’s up to you to find out how things work. You need to edit the files located inside the inc/modules/wpalchemy/metaboxes folder for this.
Cheers!

All good… but the template is very heavy for my client website! can you please advice to make it light weight is somehow I remove option like (retina, Woo-commerce)

you can review the website (www.newerame.ae) its really heavy to open the website…

Please advice

Hi,
If the theme preview works fine for you there’s no reason for that long delay. I have opened your website and your server “makes us wait” 4 or 5 seconds before the elements start loading. This is not the theme fault… You can also try turning off any plugins you may have that could be causing this.
As for WooCommerce it does not delay anything if you don’t have the plugin installed and active. Retina: it will only slow down on retina screens and just because the images served will be bigger.
In my opinion you should ask your hosting company the reason of that waiting until the pages start loading. You can also install the W3 Total Cache plugin to try and improve things (but this won’t solve that server delay issue).
Cheers!

Hi, I like this theme, Awesome work.

but only 1 thing. when i open http://www.pirenko.com/samba this in my Android mobile samsung galaxy s plus i9001 . left hand side sub menu not displayed.

For Example if i click on Blog. i can’t see grid blog, classic blog menu .

Thanks Vinod Kumar

Hi,
For Android devices testing I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II and it seems to be working fine. Please try with a different Android model and let me know if you have trouble too. Let me know also what version/screen you are selecting from the 4 available on the landing page.
Thanks!

Getting an error where my logo should be.

*/samba/inc/helper.php on line 1638

Any ideas?

Well if your logo is there it should not show that. You must have some strange config on your WP, because I don’t have any similar issue. For a quick fix and future workaround please send me a private message with your WP login details if possible. Thanks!

Emailed you. Tried re-installing theme to no avail.

I just replied to your email. It seems that you had not set any logo (or if you have it had a wrong image path). I selected a logo image from your media library, saved options and everything seems to be fine now.
Cheers!

hi just wondering how can i use the portfolio template for a different custom post type.

Hi,
That template is located on the theme root folder so you can open the php file and edit the Wordpress Query that you’ll find in there.
Cheers!

At this time ill not buy the theme, but soon I will cuz I think this theme is awesome. Just would like to say that :P

Congratz :)

Thanks!
