Hi, I am an old client of Studio Zen theme, nice work! My client now want to change design of the site and we would like to migrate to another theme of yours. Does Ideas Theme or any other of you collections, are compatible with Studio Zen xml export? We would like to avoid reinsert all pages and products. Let me know, thanks.
Hi,
The portfolio and fullsreen post formats will be picked up but both post types carry different custom fields and methods for images. Each of fullscreen posts and portfolio posts will need to be re-publishsed with slideshow images and new selectors.
You can re-use images from media gallery in this theme. You’ll also need to regenerate images so it sizes them properly. Another important thing is the theme requires bigger images 1400px wide.
Thanks
Ok, thanks for your response. So there is no other theme from your collections fully compatible whit Old Studio Zen?
Hi, Not without the adjustments i referred to in previous answer. They all will require some custom field data through republishing existing posts and regenerating images.
Thanks
Hi, in one of my pages I created a client shortcode, I get a title in the page called “Project Details” How I do to rename it? I’ve tried everything, in which file is it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Could you give me a link to check. Please post to support forum as it’s much easier to followup and reply there.
Thanks
Hi imaginem, this theme looks really awesome!!!
Before I buy, I have one question:
On the Photowall Homepage, can I link to a certain page and use the pictures for navigation instead of opening a lightbox?? Thank you!
Hi, Not currently. Photowall supports only lightbox. I’ll note this as a feature request.
Thanks
Hello, few days ago I bought “Ideas” and is a theme that I really like and has many possibilities. When I installed the theme, to access the wp-admin, demo pages are not loaded had experienced an. There are themes that have the ability to view the pages created by the author and is a very useful way to adapt your own pages using the author as a base. If not, others also get access to the desktop of the theme so you can see how they have set up their pages. I do not know if I’ve done something wrong during the installation process of the topic and have not charged me the contents of the demo, but if not, is there any posibility can access the desktop demo theme with some user and password? Excuse my English, thank you very much.
Hi,
Please post to support forum with url to check on the site. I’d like to request login info to see how the theme is function. I didn’t completely understand the issue so would like to check out the pages where i can see the error. Please post to support forum.
Thanks
Video stopped working on home page. It starts for about 5 seconds than stops. please visit snubacostarica.com and provide me with the fix.
Hi, Please post to support forum. Thanks
Theme looks great but I cannot get the audio to play on mobile devices. Also, the theme does does not seem responsive on iPhone, it only reverts to full site mode and then takes forever to load full res images.

Hi, Please post to support forum. Thanks
I have tried but am unable to register. It will not accept my code? I have sent several emails and have not received any answer.
Hi,
1. All iOS devices disable audio and video autoplay.
2. I checked several of the images you’re using and they are big in size. Just 1 image is over 2.7MB and the homepage slideshow has 14 of very large images. It will be slow if the images are large. You can web optimize the images for faster loading time. If you calculate the total number of images in the homepage slideshow and sum up the sizes it’ll give an estimate of how long it’ll take to load all images. If it’s 20MBs then it’ll take the same amount of time to download 20MB file for users depending on their connection. Web optimized images are best for web use. I’ve recommended 1400px wide images which will look good even on retina displays. Some of the images in the slideshow are 3000px wide.
You can check direct image urls in slideshow and check the load time for each of them. It’s very slow as they are very big.
3. Your site looks like it’s redirecting and displaying another page for mobile. You’ll need to disable all plugins to test this or remove any custom codes that do this. I can navigate to the theme homepage by a link displayed in homepage and it’s functioning with responsive code correctly. But there’s an additional text link again for mobile view over the slideshow – theme doesn’t do this. I believe this is extra code through a plugin or extra coding. Could you disable these and check.
Thanks
Your reply is much appreciated! I have checked and adjusted the image size of all images. This should help load times.
However, after deactivating ALL plugins that are not from your theme or basis to WP, the problem with iPhone not loading the mobile version continues.
Everything worked fine, even with lots of plugins on an iPhone running an older iOS. However, with the very latest version of iOS, not so working.
Happy to do this on the forum, but how to get on, code problem?
Hi,
I checked your homepage with iOS and found that the homepage displayed is generated from jetpack plugin mobile theme. All styles are applied from the following file.
wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/minileven/theme/pub/minileven/style.css
You have likely activated this through wp-admin jetback dashboard to display its mobile hombepage instead of theme homepage for mobile devices.
Thanks
Thank you, yes, turning Jetpack off allows the theme to go to mobile automatically. Now, if only I can figure out how to disable only the mobile part of Jetpack?
Yes, I found the deactivation for the mobile part of the plugin hidden under their “learn more” button. I believe the site is now operating properly. Really, really appreciate your assistance!!!
Welcome! 
Another small issue. Not able to get the OGG music file on the fullscreen Homepage to play on Firefox Browser. tested a direct link for the file and it plays just fine. My MP3 link plays fine automatically from the Home page. Any ideas?
Hi, Could you provide me url to check on the issue. It could be encoding or it could be that your server MIME type isn’t correctly set for OGG files.
Here’s link on encoding info
http://jplayer.org/latest/developer-guide/#jPlayer-media-encodingEnd of that section lists MIME type info that needs to be set in server.
Thanks
www.navaswan.com This is the full screen homepage that should have background music playing. Safari seems to work fine with the mp3. Firefox appears to see the ogg file but not play it, or give error msg? Here’s the direct link for the file in question: http://www.navaswan.com/music/Intro_loop.ogg
Have you checked with MIME type settings from server? Info is in the url i gave earlier.
There’s also a jQuery problem in your page. The right click disabling message – could you omit the single quote in the message from theme options. Maybe “I am” instead of “I’m” to check. Could you resolve this please.
Thanks
Right. I did have to go into the Linux server and add a line of code to address the mime type. Its working now. Thanks again!!!
Hi, I’ve read that woocommerce isn’t included in the theme yet. It’s possible to install and use woocommerce if I buy this theme? (Also if isn’t included now?)
Hi,
Woocommerce functions will operate nicely though it needs some of the pages to be added in a different structure. So it’ll currently need some additions for woocommerce products to display nicely. I’ve noted the request to add woocommerce.
Thanks
It will be implemented soon? It would be nice to have a site in full screen like this (with a photo gallery as background) and at the same time take advantage of woocommerce
Hi, Sorry, it’s not in development queue yet. Thanks
Just opened the docs and was thrilled to see that the images are a fat 1400 px wide. Yum, yum. Gonna look great on retina.
I love the home page photowall, slideshow caption abilities and the WPML support – all of which I will use.
Another killer theme Mondre, congrats. Great design as usual. I love building your templates on 27” monitors and seeing how grand they play on little mobile screens…
Jamie
Thanks Jamie! Good to hear you liked it.
Hi there..
I like this theme..but before I purchase it for my client I would like to ask first. Did this theme support woocommerce? Because my client want to use woocommerce later. But now she only want to use a fullscreen slideshow
Thank you
Hi, I’ve answered above. Thanks

hi there. i need to know how to order the portfolios within a category. i need them in a particular order.
Hi,
Currently portfolio can be sorted from wp-admin portfolio sort section. They appear in sort order defined there even in categories. Currently they can’t be sorted per category.
Thanks
Well documented, easy to customize and beautiful theme
with great cross browsing experiences
5 stars
Thank you!
Hello, great theme! How can i edit permalinks ? I mean, when i do a fullscreen page appears like www.mywebsite.com/fullscreen/postpage, i would like to remove ” fullscreen ”.
Thanks
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
WordPress requires a slug there. You can replace it but it won’t function if you remove it.
edit /wp-contents/plugins/imaginem-fullscreen-post-type/imaginem-fullscreen-posts.php
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'fullscreen'),
You can rename the text. Make sure to visit wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks after changing. Otherwise it’ll give out 404 errors for the fullscreen pages.
Thanks
Do any of the sliders have the capability of having a thumbnail to show the next slide?
Sorry, not currently. Thanks
Hi again, sorry to keep bugging you with questions, but need to know what I’m about to purchase before investing a lot of time afterwards trying to configure things that I can’t.
1. The left/right arrows on the home page of the demo are a different style than the ones shown on the Slideshow Header sample page (smaller chevrons with circles around them). Are these configurable in the control panel?
2. The green circle with the + symbol for hiding/exposing the menu… Can the color of that be changed, or can the graphic file be customized by me?
3. On the menu bar, there’s a green bar over the the currently active menu item. Can that color be changed in the control panel?
I know these are parts of the demo, but it’s almost impossible to figure out what can be configured and what can’t.
Thank you again! Jerry
Hi Jerry,
1. You’ll need to edit CSS styles to get those changed. Same applies for chevrons – it’s implemented through Fontawesome font files. You can also change those through HTML.
2. Yes, changing accent color will change those. The CSS file can be customized as well.
3. There are menu color pickers in theme options which allow you to change them.
You can customize the theme anyway you prefer but some elements will require CSS knowledge and HTML/PHP depending on the change. Most of color controls are already there in theme options like, menu, sidebars, page, heading colors, slideshow captions.
Thanks
Thank you, sounds great! I’m OK with HTML and CSS. php – a bit more murky than when I was a C++/C# dev (some years back)
And so sorry to be a pain, but again needing to make sure I know what features I’m about to purchase…
When I was exploring the demo, I thought I found a part of the theme in which there was text that accompanied a slider. In other words, there was a 2 column page that had text in one column, and a slider in the other.
We are commercial photographers, and want to be able to easily direct a new client to a campaign we’ve shot. Thus, text on the left describing the project, slider on the right to showcase all the images we produced.
Is this possible in your theme?
As I said, I thought I saw this, but haven’t been able to find it again.
Thanks so very very much with your support!!!
Hi,
That should give you good knowledge to edit the files.
The slideshow currently displays text below the images.
Thanks
The theme options panel is VERY SLOW. I emailed your support page about the issue but have not heard back. Can you please contact me to resolve the issue? I have heard other people in these comments with the same issue. I look forward to your timely response.
Hi,
Theme options shouldn’t be slow.
I did not find your question in support forum and neither common issue on ideas theme section regarding theme options as you’ve described.
Could you post link of support forum thread you posted on. If you haven’t posted to support forum please post info on this along with url. I’d like to request login info via support forum. It’s easier to follow up and reply via forum.
Thanks
Actually I am (referring to an existing feature).
Currently in the demo:
Portfolio Menu item -> Portfolio Details -> Slideshow Header. Then click the ’+’ sign in the green circle to hide the menu bar.
What I’m asking – in my site, let’s say I have a menubar with items “Home”, “Galleries”, “About”, “Contact”.
My user hovers over “Galleries”, and the dropdown shows Gallery 1 Gallery 2 Gallery 3
They select Gallery 3.
The next thing I want them to see is the slide show, configured so that the menu bar is not shown, and the image is full-frame with left/right nav arrows on either side.
Just making sure that the sequence a user goes through to get to a slideshow has a minimal number of mouse clicks…
Sorry if that didn’t make sense…
Hi,
Going to a page doesn’t auto hide menus. It needs to be toggled manually.
Please check the demo to see if your required features are there. If the sequence and functionality is seen in demo then you’ll be able to create it with the theme.
Thanks
Understood, got it. So, ignoring the background portion of my previous question, just making sure that when they visit a page with a slider, it can be set to be full-frame the moment they see it?
What I’m really trying to make sure of is that it will only be one click to select a page, and then the first full-frame image will be shown; no additional clicks to make the image full frame, no other steps or clicks needed to expand something out?
We’re trying to make it as efficient as possible to get from the home page to any given gallery/slider page…
Thanks!!
Hi,
I’m not sure if you’re referring to a feature included in the theme. It’d be great if you can check demo to see if the preferred feature is in the theme. All features of theme will be as demo, other will require customization.
Thanks
Pre-sales questions…
We are full-time, professional photographers, and presentation is everything. We’re about to transition our current HTML/CSS website, www.jerryandlois.com to a WP platform. Our requirements are simple, but it’s been extremely challenging to find the solution. We’re familiar with the basics of WP, but not experts.
We’re looking for a theme that will let a page display a “gallery”, showing full-frame images with a thumbnail/film strip at the bottom. This can be navigated by clicking on left/right arrows, or via swipe on mobile devices. We will have 8 or 9 individual galleries that all behave the same.
Thus far, your theme, “IDEAS” looks fantastic, and we’re hoping to be your next customer.
A few questions…
1. Can we configure the home page so that it only has the menu bar, the social media icons bar, and a slide show? Nothing below the images in the slide show?
2. Is there a limit to how large an image can be (in pixels, both width and height).
3. Background image possible for a given gallery page, and if so how does this work with the web page gets resized?
4. For gallery page, can the show thumbsnails/filmstrip be hidden/shown by the user?
5. Media management, is it possible to organize all the images into subfolders instead of one big flat folder
6. Tech support: how long does it take for a typical response? We’ve used a few other themes from another provider (other than ThemeForest), and the support has been difficult, hard to get actual replies instead of scripted answers…
Thank you so much for your replies!!! Jerry
Hi again – one other question as I’ve spent quite some time looking over the demo theme (it’s really very well done).
For a gallery, full-frame images, is it possible to have thumbnails/filmstrip showing at the bottom? I wasn’t able to find any examples with this. The purpose behind this is for viewers to jump to an image they want to see, rather than have to advance through the entire set of shots.
Hping to hear back from you soon!
Thanks, Jerry
Hi Jerry,
1. Yes, you can leave titles and captions empty. This way nothing shows up over the images. You can also manually remove the copyright bar at the bottom of screen by editing footer.php file.
2. There’s no limit but web optimized images are best for web use.
3. You can have control over the background images of all pages. Archive pages such as categories , search result pages pick background image from theme options set image. Background image covers the browser window even on resize. You can test this from demo to see how it works.
4. This isn’t a feature of the theme.
5. WordPress media manager manages the images. The theme only uses the images through WordPress functions. You can check media manager from Wp-admin and see how it works.
6. Support questions are answered within 24 hours via support forum.
7. ( on second comment ) Currently what’s not seen in demo isn’t a feature of the theme. All features of theme are included in theme out-of-box.
Thanks
Hi Mondre, thank you for the replies.
These all look great, with the one exception – not being able to have thumbnails show. I was also looking at another theme you authored (RSW), which does feature this. Bummer that that can’t also be here…
Exploring media management just a bit more. I’ve read up on NextGEN, which at one point sounded like it helped create a hierarchical folder structure, but it has gotten a lot of bad press recently.
Do you know of any plug-ins that might help with this as we’ll be adding hundreds of images as we build out our site, not including what we’ll be putting in the portfolio contents.
Thank you again, Jerry
Hi Jerry,
Over-riding media manager capabilities through a can be a sensitive section where when the plugin doesn’t work everything can break down. I don’t recommend in this sense but here’s a link you might find interesting.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/media-file-manager/Thanks
Many thanks, Mondre!
If you ever decide to add a thumbnail/filmstrip, I will be the first to jump up and say Thank You.
But, even w/o that, I’m about to place an order for the theme.
I know it’s not a large monetary amount in the big scheme of things, but your work is very appreciated.
Sorry – one last question I meant to verify that will work as described:
A viewer lands on our home page and sees a full-screen slider as discussed, along with a menu bar and a bar for social media.
From there, if they click on a menu bar item called “Galleries”, the drop down will have a set of pages listed. For each page, the user can click on a selection, and the next thing they’ll see will be page containing a full-frame, fully responsive slider.
If I understood your answer to my question above, the background of each page can be set. That way, vertical images will have a background image of my choice. (True also for horizontal, but the background won’t show near as much).
Thank you!
Hi,
Currently backgrounds will fill the whole browser window without distortion with some portions in overfill depending on the browser window. You can check how it behaves from demo. Features will be accurate to the demo.
All page and post backgrounds can be custom set to either a static background or slideshow of your choice per page/post. But archive pages only pick background image from theme options. ( ie. category pages, search results, tags, date, taxonomy archive )
Thanks
hello
pre purchase questions
1 – can you send me the psd file for the homepage that I can customize for my client approves the layout?
2 – have options to mount photo gallery? I could not see it in the demo
Hi,
1. I’ll need to see if TOC allows me to do this.
2. Photo galleries are generated using shortcodes. There are options to filter them or display them without filters. It can be displayed with ajax. Items per page can be defined. You can also add them using work type category slugs.
Thanks
TOC?
just need to customize the home so that my client approves the layout and I can buy the template send me by email?
carlosdmkt@gmail.comThat was a typo, I meant T&C , terms and conditions as the psd is part of the package right now. / Thanks
so, you can’t give me home psd? without that my client cant approve this layout.
=/
