Hi I think your theme is brilliant and really easy to use. I do have two questions however.
1. Is is possible to integrate a different slider into your theme. I prefer LayerSlider WP as it is more customizable, but I cannot figure out how to show the slides on a page.
2. I have added image slices which work fine until I extend the window past so far (about 1600px) and the tops and bottom get cut off the images. It is not in parallax. The image increases in size (which I want) but the height does not adjust accordingly.
Thanks.
Hi
Here are my comments:
1 – Probably you can add it using a shortcode. You should check the plugin docs to know how to do that.
2 – Send me a private message with a link so that I can understand what you mean exactly.
Cheers!
Hi pirenko,
I am very pleased with your theme, but since this morning I can not see all my pages created from grid portfolio. I have a blank page appears without menu … Do you have a solution to this problem knowing that I did all the updates … Thank you, good day.
Hi,
Please turn off all the plugins you may have and try again. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with a link.
Cheers!
Hi Pirenko,
Have you received my private email? I still have not solved my problem. All pages built from a “portfolio” model, do not open (bug blank page).Of course I tried disabling the plugings one by one. My source code, my files are present, I still have space on my server, I emptied my cache and tried on other browser. I also recharged my theme … still getting the same problems. My site is hosted on a dedicated server for my site to replace another keeping the same address so I do not know if you can see it without my id or without changing your terminal. Thank you. good day
Hi,
When did you send the private message? I’m having some major issues on my server in the last 8 hours…
I sent you the message Tuesday. Ok for the server no worries. If you’ve an idea to solve my problem, I offer you a beer 
I just checked my email and I replied to you. Here’s what I wrote:
I can’t help you without testing the website. You need to set up a testing environment so that I can check it.
Cheers!
Hi Pirenko, really enjoying building my site using this theme. One thing I can’t find to change/take out is the bottom-border of 4px on the heading title and some of the text modules—where can I adjust that in the files? http://club8dallas.com/newsite/club8-dallas-nightlife/ thanks, nj
Hi,
Try adding this under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS (if you need to apply it to other elements use your browser inspector to know their CSS id/class):.prk_titlify_father h1 {border-bottom:0px !important;}
Cheers!
great! thanks!
I tried to do it with the visual composer, but I always have empty spaces between the sections. Also when I choose Text Block for the right area I cannot add a background colour. If I use “Service” I then can add background colour, but then I cannot add h1 or h2 for titles in this area. Don’t know what to do. Thanks. Doris
Hi,
You need to assign special classes to your columns (this can be done using Visual Composer) and then give those special classes a background color (this can be done on the theme Custom CSS option).
Cheers!
thank you Pirenko, but don’t know hwo to work with this classes.
Oh, just tried it with working with the class. I know a bit more now, hope I will be able to make it so how I want to have it.
but I still have empty spaces between two sections. how can I remove them?
Please send me a private message with a link to your page. Cheers!
Hi,
is there an option for a facebook feed similar to the Twitter one?
Great Theme!!!!

Hi,
You need a plugin for this. Here’s one that has good ratings: http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-facebook-feed/

Hi
can we upgrade to WP3.8 safety
?
thanks
Hi,
Yes. The theme preview is already on 3.8. Cheers!
Currently getting an error for the twitter widget Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()... line 141.
Hi,
Does that account has any Tweets to display? Please check your settings there. If you have trouble the same way please send me private message with a link.
Cheers!
In case anyone comes here before updating to WP 3.8, it made Samba disappear for me. By disappear, I mean the website loads, and is navigable, but none of the content is displayed. Stranger still, everything works fine when logged in as an admin, but nothing works for anyone else.
Trying to figure it out and I will post here if I can.
Hi,
Sorry, but this does not have to do with the theme. The preview is currently running 3.8 and it is just fine. Turn off all your plugins and try again.
Cheers!
Wasn’t trying to say it was the theme. I would blame WordPress before Pirenko.
I turned off every plugin, then I had to clear the cache, then I was able to turn Samba back on, but I also had to reset my permalinks to default and then back to postname. Good times.
Ok, great 
Hi guys! Is it possible to add CAPTCHA for the comments form and contact? This will be a feature that will make me buy the theme today!!!
Thanks
Hi,
The theme has been optimized for Contact Form 7 plugin that allows the usage of recaptcha so you are ok with the contact form. I have tested this before and it works just fine.
And it seems that this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recaptcha/ is good for for comments too (actually I think you only need Contact Form 7 and this one for both situations).
Cheers!
Do you have a demo anywhere to show the captcha? Maybe a website which has already customised Samba?
Cheers!
I’m not near my computer now 
If you want you can buy the theme and I’ll help you if you need. Otherwise send me a private message and I’ll send you the link as soon as possible. Thanks!
Hi,
Great theme – love working with it. Just a small bug that i cannot figure out.
When i have sub menu items in the menu bar and click on the “” to expand the menu items – it does not expand – instead it goes to the page that has the “” beside it. This only happens the first time you load the site – then when you go back to the menu that menu item is expanded.
http://albaker.ttsistemi.com/Any ideas?
txs! p
Hi,
If you want those parent links just to open a submenu you must create a custom link and make the URL this: #
Otherwise the theme will load the correspondent page… I hope this was clear. Cheers!
hi
But i would like to give them the opportunity to either go to the projects page or expand the menu and click on a specific project – i guess that is not possible?
txs p
So, you want to click on the menu, load a page, open the sub-menu and keep the left bar opened only on this link?
When the click the PLUS SIGN – i want the menu to expand so they can pick what they want. As it stands now, the PLUS SIGN is beside PROJECTS and when they click on that (the PLUS SIGN) it goes to the project page instead of expanding the menu
If you just want to expand the menu (no page loading) follow the steps I told you above. Create a custom link with a #
If you have trouble please send me a private message with your WP login details.
Cheers!
Right – but if i do that and the click on the project link nothing will happen. I want the user to have the option to do both, but its looking like that is not possible
I just went to the SAMBA live preview and see how you have done it – i can figure something out – I will just duplicate the all projects bellow that….THANKS!
Ok, cheers!
Hello,
we are in love with this theme; congratulations.
We notice that responsive is not working perfectly with 3D effect Menu election.
Could you check it for us before purchasing please?
Thanks.
Hi,
Can you explain me what problem you are having and also what browser you are using? Please remove the purchase bar on top too, because sometimes it interferes with the theme. Thanks!
Hi Pirenko, I´m using Chrome in Win8. When you reduce de window simulating a phone, there is a big white space on the left like showing the opened menu. I´m trying on mobile phone; nexus and (old) galaxy) works perfect. We will purchase today, thanks 
That’s weird, because I can’t replicate that here. Please send me a private message with a screenshot so that I can check it properly.
Thanks once again!
Is it possible for me to achieve a dropdown menu for the left menu bar
Hi,
You’ll need to edit the main.js file for this. And depending on the menu you want to implement you’ll need some custom CSS too. Cheers!
Are there any issues with the Flexslider and WP 3.7? My slideshow is not moving even though I have the autoplay box checked. I am using the “Page – Classic Layout”. Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Please turn off all the plugins you may have for a moment and try again. Send me a private message with a link if you still have trouble. Cheers!
PM sent. Thank you.
Thank you for the advice. Upgrading to v2 did fix the issue.
Ok, great 
Hi Pirenko, I having problems to install the theme! This the message I had back from the system:
Warning: is_readable() [function.is-readable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(E:\users\coolpix.com.br\httpdocs\wordpress/wp-content/plugins/E:/users/coolpix.com.br/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/samba/inc/modules/sweet-custom-menu/languages/rc_scm-en_US.mo) is not within the allowed path(s): (E:/users/coolpix.com.br\;C:\Windows\Temp\) in E:\users\coolpix.com.br\httpdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\l10n.php on line 457
What can I do to solve this?
Hi,
Are you working locally? You seem to have some strange configuration on your server… Try also turning off all your plugins for a moment.
If you aren’t working locally please forward that message to your hosting company, because it seems to be a server config issue.
If you still have trouble please send me a message with your WP login details.
Cheers!
OK I’ll work on it !!! Thank for now !!!
I turned of all plugins and the problem stiil there. I ‘ll talk to my host to find the problem. I’m using Shuttershot theme it is apear to be OK.
Hi,
If you open the file inc/modules/sweet-custom-menu/sweet-custom-menu.php and remove line 48 it should fix that warning, but still you have some strange config on your server… Cheers!
Hi Pirenko. First off – great theme. I am using the fullscreen slider page template on my home page and it seems that aligning the slide text left+center or right+center doesn’t seem to work. Left/Right+top/bottom works, but not center. Can we not do left/right+center? Thank you.
Hi,
Please send me a private message with a link and your WP login details if possible.
Thanks!
Thank you. Just sent you an email.
Working perfectly now. Great support! Thank you.

Ok, cool 
Hi,
The close button (“to blog” or “to portfolio”) doesn’t come back, could it be because i changed id of the page in the permalink (samba-portolio) ? Thanks
Hi,
That should not interfere with it… Please send me a private message with a link.
Cheers!
Thanks but i don’t want you loose time with this, just tell me please where i can find the function : prk_get_parent_portfolio()
It is in the inc/helper.php file. See ya 
ok thanks
...and is there a way to change :
mydomain.com/portfolios/mytitem/
in
mydomain.com/something/mytitem/
That is on the theme options Advanced Tab. Please read the documentation or at least the video tutorial that shows the control panel. Cheers!
done, thanks !
if you have an idea for the close button, just tell me and i’ll do it 
...no matter, i hardcode the url 
Is it possible to add the excerpt under the titles on the thumbnails for the grid portfolio?
Or at least some kind of short description?
Thanks for your help.
Hi
It seems that line break are removed on Slide Content text, so we can’t write paragraphs, can i modify this ?
Could you please give the code to be able to navigate on all skill, and not only in the same skill, in the single portfolio page ?
Thanks a lot !!
Hi,
When editing the slides activate the text editor instead of the Visual and place a <br /> tag.
As for the other question open the single_pirenko-portfolios.php file search for in_same_cat and set it to false (you’ll find it 4 times).
Cheers!
thanks a lot !
Hello
Is it possible to filter team members the same way portfolio items are filtered here: http://www.pirenko.com/samba/grid-portfolio/
...with a menu at the top?
txs paul
Hi,
That’s not possible with the theme in the original state, but you can group members in different teams and display them on different places. Cheers!
Thanks – are you taking on custom work? Could it be done with some modifications?
Hi,
Yes… Send me a private message for a quote if you are eventually interested. Thanks!
