Hi, me again!
Some days ago, i sent a reply to your e-mail, but i didn’t get an answer. So i decided to ask here again:
You did ask, if i could let you know which slider i want resized. So actually i am using the frontpage slider named “Scroll Slider”. But if there is an easy way, i would appreciate it, if you can tell me how to resize all three variations of the slider.
Also i was thinking of using the slider on the frontpage together with a recent blog listing. So i guess, if i delete “home.php”, WP will use index.php, giving a recent blog style, but i can’t use the slider anymore, except i do some required customization on index.php? Which type of customization would that be?
Thanks again!
Hi,
1) Edit slider.css in CSS folder. Change height value .container class
2) You will need to implement the featured slider in the index.php file. That section in the home.php file is between lines 17 and 49.
If you copy lines 17 to 49 from home.php file and paste it in Line 13 of index.php file you’ll be able to get the slider there. But it would need additional style customization to implement it nicely. You can implement additional style modification on the same style.css file.
I hope you can manage from here. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
Ok, thanks for the answers to my first questions.
Next question:
I have setup a blog category, let’s say I called it “weddings”
I’ve created a post in the weddings category.
In that post, I uploaded, let’s say 75 images from a particular event.
I would like for those 75 photos to be available in a portfolio template using the portfolio template page. Let’s say I make a page called “Wedding Portfolio” and I choose the “Wedding” category. What seems to happen right now is I can only create a carousel or thumbnails of all 75 images within that post.
What I would like to do (in addition to having the items appear at the “post” level) is have those show up at the page level. the only luck I’ve had with this is creating a “Big Image” and THAT photo only shows up on the portfolio page, but none of the other thumbnails do.
Am I doing it wrong or is that the way it works?
GREATLY appreciate the help!

Hi,
I saw a Portfolio template page used in your site. Have you resolved it? Could you send me link to where its going wrong?
Thanks
Hey there,
If you go here: http://www.ginoguarnere.com/blog/2010/06/16/hdr-and-featured/
You’ll see a blog post with a carousel of images. There are 137 images in that carousel!
What I want, is to create a portfolio page of those 137 images, paginated i suppose, without having to create a post for each image.
How would I do that?
Thanks,
G
Hi there,
Any additional comments per my last question on this? Thanks!
G
I wanted to add a custom jpeg backround to this theme. Can I have instructions for doing so?
Thanks
Hi,
You can add a background style to the class you want the image displayed. To fill the body of the page:
body{ background: #c0c0c0 url(../images/texturedbg.jpg) repeat;}
The above is used in the shaded skin. In between the brackets goes the url of the image.
Thanks
wow… now everything is working perfect…
Thanks a lot!!!
Cheers 
Thanks for the quick reply, Portafolio Small Thums is working now.
The only thing is that the rollover effect on the thumbnails in the seccion C is not working now.
and in the admin panel is all open all the time.
The header seccion in the admin panel is not working, the text seccion.
Hi,
Main problem with Contacts 7 plugin seems to be in its way of loading the jQuery library.
Here’s another go to it.
Could you restore the kwicks-customs.js to the original file. ( From original download )
Edit functions.php and enter the following after Line 14
<?php wp_deregister_script('jquery');?>
<?php wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://your-domain/wp-content/themes/echoes/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js');?>
Make sure you enter your domain path to the jquery file in the echoes theme js folder to the wp register script path.
Edit Header.php Cut Lines 72 to 86 (All the JS Scripts) – Cut them
Paste to Footer.php after line 114
Hope this resolves them.
Thanks
Awesome Job!
I am using contact form 7 and the kwicks is working fine now with the code you send us in the last comments.
But know i see that the Small Thumbnails is not working I only see the thumbnails and the prev & next button but not the big images.
Can you please us the code to fix the (Small Thumbnails).
Thanks for the help!!!
Hi,
Contact 7 plugin is loading another jquery library in Wordpress with the theme that’s causing the problem.
Here’s the deregistration function for it.
Edit functions.php
Insert the following just after line 14
<?php wp_deregister_script('jquery');?>
Cheers 
Nice theme!
on my front page (http://www.ginoguarnere.com/blog/) I would like to pull in the “description” for my Blog ( Mainpage Section B ). Right now, because my blog is a category, I’m not getting any type of description. Same with the Contact area.
However, it looks like I can add a “description” to those pages (Posts > Categories > Edit > Description)
Could you let me know how to perhaps make that customization (which template to modify, and the code needed to pull in that field)
And one more:
Using the Kwicks Slides for my features, do I actually have to size the photos for use in that area? It seems like sometimes the photos are sized properly and sometimes they are just full size, which means you can’t really tell what the photo is as you’re getting like 100% of it instead of it sizing down to fit that area. The image is, however, being resized in the actual post…just not in the Kwicks Slides area? Does Timthumb.php do resizing on the front page or just in posts?
Awesome work!

Hi G,
You can edit archive.php and add the following where you want to display the category description.
<?php echo category_description( $cat ); ?>
The featured images don’t use resizing. I’ve given the dimensions for it in the Help Guide.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
If you look on my main page,
http://www.ginoguarnere.com/blog/
You’ll see Blog Contact Services
You’ll see that “Blog” has no description and “Contact” has no description. Services has a description because it’s a page.
Blog is a category, and Contact doesn’t supply any content to that front page because it seems to appear on the sidebar of the contact page.
What I would like is to pull from the “description” field and populate that front page area. The archive.php page didn’t seem to be the correct place for that, but rather, home.php. I tried that code above and did not have success.
Thanks!

Really good theme, i love the design.
im having some trouble with isolating pages from top menu. cant get it to wotk properly.
is possible to have the theme with all categoriers and pages in places as your live demo on themeforest? thank you
Patryk
Hi Patryk,
You can Set
‘Populate pages to menu’ to Enable
and then Enter Page ID’s of only the ones you want in the
‘Include only the following Pages to Menu’
This will list only the ones you want excluding all others.
Thanks
When I make a gallery with the shortcodes mentioned in the Help Guide, the thumbnail boxes appear, but no thumbnail photos. Clicking them brings up the large photos perfectly. Please help!
Hi, Sorry i couldn’t access the link http://69.89.31.157/arthous2/?p=767
Sorry. It is not embedding properly in this post
http://69.89.31.157/ ~arthous2/ ?p=767 (without the spaces!)
I also emailed it to you.
Thank you very much.
I got the mail.
My client loves this theme and really wants to use it, however I must ask before we purchase. Do you use timthumb?
Yes. timthumb is in use.
Bummer 
Incredible theme. Love it.
Hope you can help me make it perfect for my site.
How can I remove the text bar from the home page image scroller?
On a portfolio page displaying thumbnails – 2 questions: 1) How can I remove the text and link to the post that I created for each image in the portfolio. 2) I have 30 or so images in this particular portfolio. I use the pageination plugin you recommend. For some reason I have 12 images on page 1, 8 on page 2 and 6 on page 3. How do I get 12 images on every page and any remainder on the final page? Also is there an easier way to order the pictures or do I have to edit the post time on every post?
thanks a lot!
Hi,
May i have your url. I’d like to check before i can give an accurate solution. I might also need wp-admin access to check on the issue in more detail. Could you mail me via my profile.
Also do let me know which featured effect you’re using so i can give file modification info.
Thanks
In the Image URL post options box it does not work if I use Absolute URL ’s, only Relative URLs. Is there anyway to fix this?
I am building a portfolio where the images exist on other webpages and the process of having to download them all and then upload them just to get a relative URL is tedious and terrible.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I believe the resizing script relies on lots of permissions given to it by apache server. Most likely it needs access to the images withing the domain. These settings are enabled for security reasons, so access to them outside the domain can be restricted. If this is the case then best if the images are copied to the same domain.
Thanks
Is there a way to make thumbnail images in posts use the lightbox effect? Installing a plugin like fancyzoom seems to conflict with the zoom effect built into the theme like the one used for portfolio pages.
Can I make images in posts zoom and become bigger?
Hi,
You can insert a relative link in the hyperlink of the image.
eg.
<a href="your-big-image-path" rel="echoeslightbox"> <img src="thumbnail-image-path" alt="thumbnail" /> </a>
The light box information goes into the hyperlink tag. Notice the rel=”echoeslightbox” and the href pointing to the big image. This image will be shown once the thumbnail in the image src tag is clicked.
You can access the source codes by switching from Visual to HTML in the WP-admin create contents area.
Thanks
Thank you very much.
Very happy with the theme so far, and thanks again, Mondre.
A couple of questions having to do with lightbox behaviors…
1. A lot of the text I use is meant to appear as captions when images are opened. Is there a way to include (sometimes) long captions with lightboxed images in Thumbnail, Carousel and/or Portfolio contexts?
I’ve tried to manually create thumbnails where the larger images have long captions, but the captions appear inside the image rather than in the text area at the bottom.
2. Relatedly, I sometimes need to use a thumbnail image that’s different from the image that opens in a gallery context (carousels, portfolios, etc.). Is that possible with Echoes?
Cheers!
Hi,
1. For long text support in the lightbox you’ll need to modify the lightbox plugin. Which best if you contact the plugin author. I’ve provided a link in the help guide.
2. The theme currently uses the big images to create thumbnails. If you want independent images for big and thumbnail images it can be achieved through an additional custom field. The portfolio functions are in the portfolio-functions.php in functions folder.
Thanks
WRT #2, Can you please give me an example of the usage for an additional custom field where independent big and thumbnail images are desired.
Thanks
good job 
Thanks 
I’m willing to buy this theme, but i need the html files included. Is this possible?
Sorry creativa4, The HTML files are sold separately. I won’t be able to give them as its sold exclusively through Theme Forest.
Thanks
Hello,
Can Mondre or anyone say how sites using this template will render / display / behave on smart phones/touch devices?
Thanks !
I should render just how it is on an iphone. There will be some differences from hover actions or how it results in javascript functions. But it should be an accessible theme from smartphones, though not specifically designed for them.
Thanks
Hi! Theme is very cool!
Russian lang is not supporet 
Hi,
To localize the theme, you can
1) Edit includes/menu.php change line 3 (Home)
2) Edit sidebar.php change line 37 (Popular)
3) Edit footer.php line 106 and 107 for copyright info
4) Edit includes/post-summary.php line 19 for (Continue Reading)
The other texts can be either changed from theme options or is picked from the page/category titles.
Thanks
It really is a bummer that the Contact 7 plugin breaks the home page accordion. I have to have a contact form that allows for a file upload/attachment with it 
Does anyone know of a plugin that allows file uploading that doesn’t break this theme?
Hi,
Can you edit kwicks-custom.js file in the JS/kwicks/ folder
Insert the following line above line after line 1
jQuery.noConflict();
and then change all the ’$’ to ‘jQuery’
Following is a changed line example
From
$('.slide-minicaptiontitle').hide();
To
jQuery('.slide-minicaptiontitle').hide();
This will resolve jquery conflicts with the Kwicks accordion.
Send me a mail via my profile if you need the modified file.
Thanks
Thank you very much, my friend. That solution worked perfectly!
