Hi Pirenko, I’ve got a problem with the portfolio grid template. When setting a thumbnail margin, the vertical margins between thumbs are bigger than the horizontal ones; moreover the featured thumbnails are higher than expected (should be 2x normal thumbnail height + 1x thumbnail margin). It was OK when I was using WP3.7 with Samba 1.7, this bug appeared after upgrading to WP3.8 with Samba 2.1. I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to fix it but I can’t find how :-( Here is a screenshot so that you can see the problem. I’ve set the thumbnail margin to 80px to make it visible : http://snag.gy/j7uTj.jpg Thanks for your help.

It’s hard for me to test things like this. Please put something online and send me a link. Anyway, I’ll try and run a test locally so send me a private message anyway and I’ll try to comment about it. Cheers!

I understand; I’d just be interested to know if you have the same problem or if it’s just me. I’ll try to put a test site online and tell you when it’s done.

Ok, send me that private message then. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

can you help me overriding the css for a styled title line? My home page (called start in the menu) is white, and so the styled title line is white too. I’d like to make that line black instead.

Thanks!

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

Hi Pirenko

I have a problem with Theme Slider not automatically advancing to the next slide. I have set the ‘Autoplay slider’ to yes.

I am using wordpress 3.8 and and the latest version of the theme 2.1.

The page is build with the Visual composer and i am using ‘Page -With sections’

URL: http://www.grabatable.co.nz/realm/the-realm-restaurant-bar/

Thanks, great theme by the way!

Hi,
Please send me a private message with your WP login details if possible. I would like to see how you have that page set up.
Cheers!

Thanks for the help and quick reply!!

You are welcome!

hi i was wondering how can i make a jquery script run after a page is load via ajax page load , i.e http://quran.deen-ul-islam.org/?page_id=17 when i visit this url directly the jquery script works but if the page is load via ajax the script does not work (when you click on Lectures). just wanted to know is there is any jquery script i need to run in order for the script to work properly. i.e $(document).ajaxComplete(function(event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions)

i know if i add regular_load it would refresh the page, but i was hoping you had a call back feature on the ajax so that other script could still run without page refresh.

I’m not sure of exactly what you want to do or how your script works, but the function ended_loading located inside the main.js file is called when a page is loaded. Cheers!

thanks

Hi Pirenko,

first of all thanks for making a superslick clean and good looking theme. I am having difficulties with the button on the homepage slider.

http://www.oelalaa.com/start/

I want the background colour of the button (listen!) to be the same blue as the title on the slider. The text should be white (as is now). I tried changing the button colours in the general options tab, didn’t work.

Also, when i hover my mouse over it, the whole button turns white and doesn’t change back again. It stays white. Is this a problem on my end, or a bug?

I hope you can help me out. Thanks!

Thanks Pirenko for your quick answer. I have downloaded the latest version i think (bought it yesterday). I sent you a pm.

Two things could be happening; 1. i am not understandig it properly or 2. there is still something not right

It seems like when i want to change the background colour of the button on the slide in the general options, it only changes the colour of the button when i hover over it (txt also dissapears btw).

So i don’t know where to change the background colour now. I do already know that the colour of the text on the button is decided by the background colour of the whole theme.

The background color of the button is the slide title text color. This is exactly what happens on the theme preview. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

Would it be possible to use the ‘Slide in on top’ effect of the Transitions for off-canvas navigation ? What should I change for this ? Thanks !

Hummm… Are you talking about the menu? If so you must have had to change the custom.css file at least, right? If not please send me a link to your website. Thanks :)

Yes, it’s about the menu. I just wanted the main content not to be pushed to the right when opening the menu; removing these lines seems to be enough. Sorry no link for the moment, I’ve not worked on my website for weeks and it’s not yet online :-(

Oh ok… That makes more sense… I thought you wanted to change the animation type to another. In this case, it is understandable what you have done ;)

Hi Pirenko,

1. I need to increase the font size of almost everything. Price table, Quotes etc. Please provide me those CSS classes to upgrade.

2. In Price Table, even if I keep the “Buy” button blank at the end, It still shows it. Please solve this issue. Example : http://goo.gl/6rXIXw

Thanks.

Hi,
Here are my comments:
1 – If you need to increase the size of everything change the body size that it will affect all the other text sizes. If you want to change only certain elements use your browser inspector to determine the right id’s or classes to change;
2 – Pricing tables: there was a glitch indeed, but it is fixed now (I still have your WP login details);
Cheers!

Thanks Pirenko :D

I can trust the theme developer, so no worries you have login details. Another thing, Please specify, Where to edit the Body text size.?

Try adding this under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS:
body {font-size:15px;}
Cheers!

Hi, Thanks for your theme which is so great and offer great possibilities. But I have two questions : 1. I’d like to have a full page portfolio template, which displays “post content” in one column, without the second colum with date, skills, etc. How can i do ? 2. How can I increase or decrease the different polices ?

Hi,
Here are my comments:
1 – Is this what you are referring to http://www.pirenko.com/samba/portfolios/swift-moves/ ?
2 – What do you mean with “polices”?
Cheers!

Hi, Thanks for the rapid answer. Sorry for my english but i’m not often praticing 1. I refer to that sort of portfolio : http://aikidorosheim.com/portfolios/laikido-et-les-femmes/ I’d like the text under the feature image to be full width too. 2. Sorry, polices is french. the true term is “fonts”. 3. I have another problem since in my blog http://aikidorosheim.com/le-club/ some images don’t fit to width. Only in firefox, because in chrome there’s no problem at all. What can I do ? Thanks for the answer.

Hi,
1 – That option is not available. You need to edit the single-pirenko_portfolios.php file for that;
2 – You can add some css under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS. Example: h1 {font-size:3em;}
3 – That page seems to be fine here… Please send me a private message through my profile page with a screenshot.
Cheers!

This theme looks very good… is it possible to use google maps custom style and custom marker?

Hi,
You can do that by creating a custom location on Google Maps. I can help you with it if you need. Thanks!

Hi there, we’re having a hard time trying to replicate the Video Portfolio look and feel. We are adding vimeo iframe embed codes into the text editor, but it won’t load full-width / responsive and it also includes a Styled Title above the video embed.

How do we add videos to correctly display in that manner? 1. As portfolio items with the embed code? Does the code need to have CSS for responsive/full width? 2. Some other way to add video/vimeo?

Hi,
Where did you buy the theme?

Here on themeforest – I think my colleague put it on his account though (chip@”c….next”.com) – e-mail me if you want us to dig up the invoice.

The only way to verify purchases here is by placing a comment with the account that bought the theme or sending me a message through my profile page (once again with the correct account). Cheers!

Thinking about ordering this again for something else. Is there a chance you could create a sort of ‘Password Protected’ page for a post meant only for certain people – that has the look and feel of your site. Just asking – Thanks! – Clark

This ability the theme already has (it hides just the page/post content). What needs to be done is add some styling to the input field and button. Thanks once again!

Is this difficult to do. If you can help me with this, I’ll purchase this theme again for another site. Or is this extremely simple with using your shortcodes and editor? I’ve just never done it before.

Password protected content? Yes, I can help you with this without a problem. Just send me a private message after buying and having some of the new content set up. Thanks once again!

Happy new year Pirenko :D

I have a question. How do I create my own page with a fullscreen video exactly like in your demo here http://www.pirenko.com/samba/video-showreel/ ?

Nevermind Pirenko I figured it out after reading your documentation :P

Ok, great!

In the left side menu, I have three submenus under a menu, now I need to show them always.

By default, I have to click on + sign to expand the menu, But I want them to always visible.

Please help. :-)

Hi,
You can for all the submenus to be opened (and always stay like that) by adding this code under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS:
.sf-menu ul{display:block !important;}
If you want to make them be opened by default and keep the theme original behavior after clicking on something, you’ll need to edit the main.js file located on the js folder.
Cheers!

Just a quick pre purchase question: One the test site when I view the Grid portfolio and select a specific category i.e. Identity, then select one of them, the navigation arrows at the top of the page navigates through all categories and not the specific one selected earlier, is there a way that this behaviour can be change so that it only navigates through those items within the specified category? This will help me decide whether your theme (which is brilliant by the way) will be suitable for my project.

Many thanks,

Wishing everyone a great 2014.

It looks like it will be pretty straight forward, just add an extra div, posistional CSS and conditional php
This is what has to be done. You can edit the header.php file for this. Let me know if you buy the theme and need help with this. Cheers!

Brilliant, thanks again!

You are welcome ;)

Hi dear Pirenko, I’m from IRAN and I want to buy and use your BRILLIANT theme legally, but because of unfair sanctions I can’t pay you. So I want to say Sorry for using your theme illegal. Please forgive me. As soon as possible I pay you your money. ;)

Thank you again. XerXes

Hello Pirenko, i want to ask you about his template when i purchase you will give me all simple data same found in the demo ? http://www.pirenko.com/samba/

Hi,
In case you need help with some of the features I have set up some video tutorials here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlSJUrW0-n0&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
I can send you an email with the preview XML file for import. I did not include this on the purchasers package, because some server don’t allow importing images from other servers.
Also, some of the theme custom fields sometimes aren’t imported properly. I’m just saying this in the case you find some of these issues.
Let me just add that the theme has a one-click install feature that will set up some sample content and in this case everything will surely be properly imported.
Cheers!

before i get the confirmation to purchase , i want all files required and data imported to be like http://www.pirenko.com/samba/ . if it’s available is ok ! tyt ur response

Hi,
Like I told you on my previous answer those files aren’t included on the purchasers package, but you can build something similar with the one-click install feature.
Let me just add that you won’t find any themes here that have the preview content, because we are not allowed to redistribute these images.
Cheers!

Really, really nice theme.

I’m going to buy it for a new project this month but wanted to ask if it’s possible to move the post/page content over to the left so it’s closer to the menu. Or is there an option for that built in?

Also, can the right sidebar be fixed like the left sidebar?

thanks

Hi,
You can shift the content a bit by adding some custom CSS code to the theme options. I can give you some help with this if needed.
About the right sidebar: if with fixed you mean it sticking to the top even when you scroll down you should be able to do this with some custom CSS too.
Cheers!

How can set slider order number and can use retro theme

Hi, where did you buy the theme?

Hi Pirenko,

I’ve a little problem, when I enable this “Disable slider and show images and videos stacked vertically?” in Portfolio, the “comments” are disable. It’s normal?

Sorry for my English.

Hi,
No, that’s not expected. Please send me a private message with a link.
Cheers!

Hi, I can’t get the arrows on the top bar to show up to scroll from one portfolio item to the next. You can see an example here http://invinodesign.com/portfolios/alumni-wine-company/ . Can you please advise? Thanks, Nick

Hi,
You need to assign some Skills to your portfolio items, because the theme searches for these Skills to see if there are related posts. You also have the option to hide these Skills from the user under Samba Options>Portfolio tab
Cheers!
