Hi,

theme looks great, good job. Does the menu works also up to 3rd level? Im especially intersted in shop functionality – so that means – Shop -> Category -> Subcategory … Is the menu going to stay opened and do not collapse, when I open some of subcategory’s products? (= customers will still see form which category the product is from the menu).

Thank you.

Hi, thank you for your kind comments! The third level will behave just like the second level. Cheers!

Thanks. Another question – is it possible to use All subsets for Google fonts? My concern is Latin extended. Cheers mate.

Hi,
Yes, you can add as many fonts as you would like. All you have to do is use the method shown here: http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2013/08/27/extra-fonts-plugin-by-pirenko/
Cheers!

Hello again, I’m noticing an issue with the use of contact form 7 when used in the samba contact settings. Any radio buttons configured in the contact form 7 are too small to be usable. They’re very hard to see and select. When I zoom in to 400% I can see them. Chrome dev tools reports it as 2px x 2px

input.pirenko_highlighted

Are they supposed to use some custom radio button graphics or something?

Also, I’m having the same problem with check boxes. They are barely visible and too small to click on.

Hi, please make sure you are using the latest theme version. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with a link. Cheers!

Hi!

For a portfolio items individual page, I’m assuming the image enlarges to a specific width of the area that it’s in? If so, can you please tell me what that width is so that I may correctly size the images, or if I’m way off on my thinking :)

Thanks!

Hi,
If you are using the wide layout they will stretch across all screen so there is not limit. For the half layout and in terms of theme preview they stretch up to 835px. You can also adjust set the center content maximum width under Samba Options>General tab.
Cheers!

Ah okay! Thank you very much!

Hello, When trying to use the contact form 7 plugin shortcode within the samba contact options, it strips away the id and title info from the shortcode after I navigate away from the samba options section of the wordpress dashboard. I am pressing “Save Options” before leaving the page and getting a confirmation that “Settings Updated”.

This is what I enter: [contact-form-7 id="93" title="Main Contact Us Form"] This is what it becomes after I leave the samba settings page in the WP dashboard: [contact-form-7 id=

WP 3.8 Samba Ver 2.1 Contact Us 7 Ver 3.6 Samba Framework Ver 1.8

Hi, try using single quotes instead of double. If this is the problem I’ll fix it in the next update. Thanks!

Great! That did the trick. Thanks for the quick response.

You are welcome :)

Hi,

I want to use the content in the table.

But the table does not shrink automatically to the screen.

for it is there that we can use a css class or the other way around?

thanks

Hi,
Please send me a private message with a link to the page that you are trying to build. Thanks!

hi,

the following table

does not automatically resized

thanks

Use percentage widths for tables and td’s instead of using absolute values in pixels. Thanks!

Hi!

I’ve purchased your awesome theme for a client and they love it!

Just a quick question, for a portfolio items individual page, I’m assuming the image enlarges to a specific width? If so, can you please tell me what that width is so that I may correctly size the images.

Thanks!

Hi,
All enquiries must be placed with the account that bought the theme. Thanks!

Hi Can I ask you a question. is there anyway when on the iPhone the menu opens up when clicked on the logo rather than on the little control on the top left hand corner? Thanks

Hi,
You need to edit the main.js file located on the js folder for this. These functions are located near the end of the file.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, I’va got two major pbs with your site :

- lots of users are experiencing pb with internet explorer (probably 6, 7, 8) and the consequence is that they cannot access my site, or have problem charging it, or the on-screen presentation of tones and textures is not a true reflection of the real finishes. Since I cannot send a message to all readers telling them to update the navigator, is it possible to fix the bug ?

- How do you do on Samba’s preview to disable the parent links on the menu ?

Thanks for your answers

Sorry, i’ve also got a third pb, since I cannot display properly more than one portfolio in a page with sections for example. the first is interfering with the others. For example : First portfolio category 1 with 3columns, and secand category 2 with 4 columns. Both display 3 colums, and the alignement of the second portfolio appears left instead center, and without margins. How can i do to make it proper ?

Hi,
Here are my comments:
1 – The theme does not claim to be IE6,7 or 8 as you can see by the file description. If you have trouble with IE9 and more recent versions please let me know
2 – Instead of making it point into a page create a Custom Link and set the URL to #
3 – I don’t understand this. Please send me a private message with a link
Cheers!

Hello

My problem is I can not find a place in the field of logo of the css file.

  1. logo_hold {margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 36px;}

Css file to make changes in this section need to find this part.

Thnx.

http://www.clou.kementas.com.tr/

So, why don’y you add that code under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS?

thnx

You are welcome!

The theme is working really well. However I can’t create a homepage slideshow without the demo image (themes/samba/images/sample/holdera.jpg) appearing behind my images. It is also effecting the layout so the tiles don’t appear and there is a left margin. It’s like there it’s playing two slideshows at once! Can you tell me how to remove the demo slideshow/this issue? Thanks ;)

My apologies… I have just added a new slide and used featured image for the slide content – and it all works fine! The demo image appearing was a bit odd though…

Hi,
Ok, thanks!

Hey Pirenko. I just bought this theme for my personal site, looks really great and I’m looking forward to using it.

I do have some issues though.

The “To Blog” button which appears on posts does not link to the blog, it just redirects to the same post but in another url. For example if I’m in the post “mysite.com/2014/01/myPost” the link will redirect to “mysite.com/myPost” and not to the blog. I have tried disabling all plugins (except for the ones recommended for the theme) but with no luck.

Another issue I’ve had, is that if I have Jetpack by Wordpress plugin active, the Theme Image Gallery which I insert in the Visual Composer, will only display as the Masonry layout regardless of my layout choice (for example Grid (Squares)). Do you have any idea to why this could be happening? I would really like to be able to use some of the features in the Jetpack plugin.

Also if I’ve inserted a Theme Image Gallery in a post with a short text. The titles of the images will be inserted in the post excerpt on the blog page. This is really not pretty.

Sorry for the firestorm, just thought I would post it all in one comment – Thanks! :)

Hi,
Here are my comments:
1 – Blog link thing… Do you have any blog page already created? If you do please send me a private message with your WP login details;
2 – Jetpack: please send me a private message with a link;
3 – I’m not understanding what you mean… Once again please send me a link;
Cheers!

Pirenko – Really, really nice theme. I buy alot of these and yours is among my favorite. Quick question. I want the sub menu items to display on hover not click. Can you tell me where I can modify this?

Hi,
Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments! The main.js file needs to be changed for this. If you can’t do it please send me a private message and I’ll see if this can be changed with ease.
Cheers!

Hey! i want to add a “lastest products” and “new products” area on my front page and want to show the last 5 new products in one row. is this possible? what i have to add to the text editor?

okay i added those on my frontpage: http://www.rrrobot.de/ but it has some design problems there, i placed the following tag in visual composer text block: [recent_products per_page=”4” columns=”4”]

could you help?

i also want smaler images, how i set in the configuration of woocommerce but the theme ignore it?

Hi,
About the woocommerce shortcode: please send me a private message with your WP login details. I would like to see how you have that page built.
Images size: they will always be resized so that they fill the correspondent column. So, if you want them smaller make the column that they are in be smaller too.
Cheers!

Hi, i want to add the google maps code in samba options: <iframe src=”https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=\\1m8\\1d2708.971088645873\\3d47.2367114\\1i1024\\4f13.1\\1m22sAlberweg+12%2C+6800+Feldkirch%2C+%C3%96sterreich\\3m2\\2s!4v1389560693834” width=”600” height=”450” frameborder=”0” style=”border:0”></iframe>

But the formular says “Safe failed” when i press save button.

What can i do?

Hi,
I’m seeing some special characters here on your code… Maybe send me a private message with your WP login details and I’ll see what’s going on.
Cheers!

I would like to make the samba_close (X-button) redirect to my home page. Currently, it links to an invalid page and the user gets a 404.

My idea was to change a line in the main.js file: this var next_page=jQuery(’#prk_nav_close’).children(‘a’).attr(“href”); to var next_page=”dblback.com”;

How can I upload this change to my blog without overriding my preferences? Do you think this change would accomplish what I’m trying to do?

The most important thing is that I’m able to fix the button so that my users are not directed to a 404.

My business partner purchased this theme and we’re using it on our site, dblback.com.

On the single.php search for the div with the id prk_nav_close and change the href value from the a tag that you’ll find inside it.
Cheers!

Hi there,

We Just tried making the change you suggested…. Changed the link tag to simply look like this: Blog

Now the back button just tries to take the reader to http://dblback.com/listen/now-playing-frightened-rabbit/dblback.com which of course is a 404.

We reverted it back to what it was before. Any ideas?

Please place http:// before your link. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

I was wondering if you could explain some of the options that effect site speed. I tried using w3 catch awhile ago but it messed up alot of stuff, so I stopped. However I was wondering what things did,

So does using AJAX make the site load slower? But then sorting categories is faster?

Does using the mini slider preview make the website load faster/slower? The one that auto cycles the images. Does this make the images all load at the beginning of the site, or do they load after the first ones have loaded?

Does the original size of the image effect how long it takes to load the thumbnails and mini sliders?

What options are available to speed up the site? Will w3 cahce or total cache (etc..) make the portfolio items load faster, does it work on the AJAX or on the mini sliders?

Maybe you could make a sticky on the support section that details this?

Thanks~!

Hi,
I’m using W3 Total Cache on the theme preview with the default options and it is working fine as you can see. Using AJAX does not make the website slower… In this particular case, the .css and .js files are only loaded once so it’s good. Anyway, you can turn the AJAX loading off if you don’t want it.
The pages are only shown after the imges on the mini slider are loaded so it can slow the page load speed. If you keep images size and number acceptable it should load just fine like on the preview. And yes, the images original file size affects the loading speed.
Cheers!
