is it possible to have more then one portfolio category? Such as “photography” “graphic design” “motion graphics”???
Yes, Echoes can display multiple styles of unlimited portfolio categories 
Thanks
Also, can you email me instructions how to change the height/width of the Kwicks Slides?
Hi,
Edit kwicks.css file in the css folder
Change the height values of
.kwicks li
.kwickshadow
That should adjust the kwicks height.
Thanks
Am I doing something wrong with setting up the Kwicks Slides? Mine don’t move and the titles group together on the right.
Hi,
This is likely a jquery conflict. Could you disable all your plugins and switch them back one by one to see what causing it.
Thanks
Amazing theme! It actually left me sitting here with my mouth open… exactly what I was looking for, nice clean design with a few nice tricks (love the shortcodes!).
It’s also very encouraging that you are delivering great customer service. That’s a main point for me and played a big part in my decision to buy.
One more thing: “jfirestonesays” is right with his/her comment “On the home page of the demo, under the Social Icons, all the lines are shifted down a pixel or two and won’t fix under a refresh—so something is definitely there that’s off.”
Same effect here on Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac 10.6.3. Is that fixable?
Hi,
Thanks for the encouraging words
I’ve noted and will check on the footer lines.
Hi,
I was thinking of buying, but had one question… Can the image slider on the homepage be changed to a single static image?
Thanks,
Hi,
That would be an easy modification.
Let me know when you’re ready. I’ll send instructions.
Thanks
Great… Thank you! I just sent you and email.
Can you give us a shortcode for div “clear”. The columns need a “clear” after them so they stay in alignment regardless of the length of content in them.
Clear div class code is as follows
<div class="clear"></div>
Thanks
I understand, but then when I go back to edit in tinymce the clear divs are lost and all the formatting is ruined.
When creating the shortcodes for columns, it’s best to always have a column such as [column4-last] that automatically includes the clear div.
Hi,
Could you send me your web url, i’d like to check.
Thanks
It’s on the page:
The particular page with the clear div errors is:
http://www.ignite-photography.com/78/
The clear div is lost whenever you switch back to using tinymce.
The contact page shows the error with using a form shortcode inside a column short code.
www.ignite-photography.com/contact/
I fixed the clear div problem by adding:
//Clear [clear] text [/clear]
function mClear( $atts, $content = null ) {
return '<div class="clear">' . $content . '</div>';
}
add_shortcode('clear', 'mClear');
I still really need the nested shortcode problem to be fixed though.
Hi,
Could you edit the custom-shortcodes.php file in the function.php
replace all of the $content in the return strings within each shortcode.
with
do_shortcode($content)
eg:
Line 5 is
return '<div class="column1">' . $content . '</div>';
replace with
return '<div class="column1">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</div>';
See if this does the Nested Shortcodes.
If you want you can send a mail to me, i’ll send you the modified shortcodes function file.
Thanks
Perfect, great job.
Cheers
Ugh…shortcodes don’t work inside other shortcodes.
if you use column shortcodes, you can’t use any other shortcodes inside them. How can we get this fixed?
Hi,
There seems to be limitations for nested shortcodes in wordpress. It works in certain ways but is problematic.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Limitations
Could you let me know which style you want inside the shortcode.
Thanks
The codex says this:
“The shortcode parser correctly deals with nested shortcode macros, provided their handler functions support it by recursively calling do_shortcode():”
It shows an example of nested shortcodes working. I believe the theme needs an update to support this. I’ve seen other wordpress themes supporting nested shortcodes just fine.
Hi, the solution is listed below.
Thanks
Just a note that Nested Shortcodes function is implemented with the download.
Your customer service is amazing. Every single question answered.
Great job man, on the right path to success.
Looking to buy this template

Which css entry controls the background color for the Dark theme. I would like to add an image to it so I can have an image background over the black background.
Hi,
The dark theme background is controlled by the skins name found in the skins folder css/style.css file
body{background: #000;}
To implement a background modify as follows
body{ background: #c0c0c0 url(imagepath) repeat;}
You can find a reference background image implemented in skins/shade/css/style.css file
Thanks
Thanks for the info! How would I center the bg so no matter what screen resolution the bg is always in the same place
Nevermind I figured it out
Cheers
Imaginem,
Awesome! Well it looks as though I would only need to change the background color, footer (widget) background color and the navigation scroll bar and drop down menu color. Is that doable? It would basically be the same elements that you change in your skins if that makes sense.
Thanks so much! I’m really excited about using this theme. It’s just what I’ve been looking for.
Korshap
Hi Korshap,
You’ll find all those class elements skins styles. Have a look at the blue skin stylesheet located in the skins\blue\css\style.css
If you edit you’ll see in line one the background with color in hex
You can locate the hex color using http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/
I’ve commented the style classes in sections.
You can modify the blue skin for your company and switch to it from theme options
Hope this was helpful
Thanks
Quick question. How would I go about removing the Mainpage Section B from the front page?
Hi,
To remove Section B of Mainpage edit home.php
Remove lines 90 to 157
Thanks
Hi,
purchased it and now have two major problems:
1. How can I arrange the link to “Blog” in the menu area? It is now the last item in the row. However, I want it to be the second one, directly after “Home”.
2. Mainpage A – Big description – Not possible to use mutated vowels like “ü”, “ä”, or “ö” – although they are very common in German, it is absolutely unusable for German pages…
Thanks for the wordpress release.
I have a couple issues I have run into tonight setting things up.
1: I cannot find the admin area to modify this section found in the footer…
* Copyright © 2010 Your Contact Name. All rights reserved. +12 34 56 78 90
* Other important footer information is easy to add Including links
2: already posted…but maybe I could make it more clear? when you add quotes to the Mainpage section A -> Big Title they are escaped on the page like \”. I think it is being double encoded? I used ” and when I load it more than once it turns back to /” and removes "e in the admin interface.
3: Is there a way to add custom sidebars on a per page/post basis?
Hi,
1. Edit footer.php file line 106 and 107
2. Slashes are added to the quotes by a function enabled by your webhost. It’s Magic Quotes. You can request to disable it. Its function is to disable accidental quotes to be inserted in the database. In this case there’s little use for it as accidental injections won’t occur. Best if a request is sent to your webhost to disable magic quotes.
3. Custom sidebars per page or post can be inserted through the file sidebar.php
You’ll need to check via a If – Then – Else PHP lines to get it done.

Hello. Very nice theme! Quick questions: Is there a way to not include some of the main page sections? I do not want the “Quality”, “Updates”, or “Support” sections to appear on the homepage. Also, can I define the names of the top menu navigations to whatever I want? (i.e. so they can be something other than the names of the pages they link to) Thank you!
Hi,
To remove those sections edit home.php
Remove lines 90 to 157
For that you will need to customize the menu
Edit menu.php in the includes folder.
Insert
<li><a href="linkpath">Item name</a></li>
Insert the link just after line 3
Thanks
I would like to be able to use characters such as ’ ” , and for some reason they do not work at all.
example: I’ve been trying for hours. > I’ve keeps showing as I/ve
Also, why can’t I add any spaces in the text for the button on the homepage?
Hi,
If you meant special characters for cufon generated fonts, here is the information.
(ie characters like : é è ç à ù )
If special characters are to be used in the ones generated by cufon and its not displaying then you’ll need to generate a full character set conversion of the font from the link
http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
Here’s the font link
http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/museo.html
Replaced the generated font js file with the file Museo_Sans_500.font.js in the JS directory.
If you have a font with all the characters you require you can substitute the exisiting font with the one you have following this guide.
Thanks
Hello,
I cannot get the button and some other tags to work in full width, is there a restriction of some kind?
And there is no special character support in the font 
Hi,
Here’s how to display special characters where cufon font is used.
(ie characters like : é è ç à ù )

Shortcodes should display as in the demo for the fullwidth pages.
Could you send me a mail via my profile with your web url. I’ll check where its going wrong.
Thanks
HI, can the homepage feature be a slideshow instead?
thnx.
Hi,
There’s three styles of featured effects which can be chosen via theme options.
jQfancy slides work as a slideshow. Two others are Accordion as in the demo and Scrollslides. Live demo can be seen from HTML demo listed in the item description
Thanks
Imaginem,
This is such a highly professional and clean theme. I absolutely love it! I just have one question before purchasing. Can the theme be customized using our own company colors?
Thanks!
Korshap
Hi Korshap,
Yes, let me know any specifics for the color change – i’ll send instructions for the changes.
Thanks
Awesome! Well it looks as though I would only need to change the background color, footer (widget) background color and the navigation scroll ball and drop down menu color. Is that doable?
Thanks so much! I’m really excited about using this theme. It’s just what I’ve been looking for.

Couple quick questions before purchasing: - Is there a way to shorten the hight of the (home page) main slider images? I’d like them to be about half as tall as the images on the demo.
- Can the main slider images link to a page and not just a post?
- Is there a way to change the background color to one not defined in a theme? I’d like to use an image or just plain white
I really like the look of this theme, but will be using it for an informational site (church) not a portfolio driven one. I think it will work – just want to make sure.
Thanks!
1) Yes, the slider images can be shortened.
2) Right now its designed to fetch a category of posts. So you can throw in any posts you want to be featured in the category selected from theme options. For pages the query has to be modified. Best if used via the category.
3) Background color can be changed easily by changing the style.css file.
Let me know when you’re ready to make changes. I’ll send instructions for the above.
Thanks
