Hi there, is there a filter for the reviews? For example, filter by rating, manufacturer, price, etc. Thanks :)

No problem :)

Hello just wondering when the new version will be updated. Its 7pm over here just wondering if I should keep waiting before going to sleep :)

I am finishing off some last few niggles and I will then package it up and submit to Themeforest, I am confident I will do this within 24 hours, but after that, Themeforest review staff need to check the update to make sure it passes the Themeforest standards, and then once they approve it, then it will be available for download. And they can take anything from a few hours to 2 days (usually they approve updates within a day), so definitely don’t stay up waiting for it today :)

P.s You will receive an email from Themeforest when the new update is available to download

Hello. This is definitely the best theme I’ve ever seen. I was just wondering if I could remove the “friends” and add “followers”. I don’t want my site to become one of those sites where people talk and meet up and stuff… that’s not good

Hi Classycaramelgirl,

Thanks for the kind words and interest :)

The “friends” and “followers” features are actually coming from the BuddyPress plugin (social network plugin), if you don’t install BuddyPress, you won’t get those pages/features at all. The reason it’s installed on the demo, is because the theme does come with integration for that plugin (is compatible with it and improves the look of it to match the theme), and the demo needs to show that off. I hope this helps!

Hi

Can we install a Revolution slider in your theme?

Thank you for your help Regards Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the interest. Yes, I have seen multiple users use Revolution slider without any problems in the theme. Hope this helps!

Hi, Great Theme!

I have a question about a styling issue within the WooCommerce “SALE” sticker for products on your demo template and my current live template.

How can I get the sale sticker to position “absolute” – so it appears as if it’s floating over the product image? I tried adding absolute to the CSS, but no luck. Right now, the sale sticker is cut off during display.

Issue Seen Here: http://valenti.cubellthemes.com/product/patient-ninja/ (bottom left product under “Related Products” section – sale sticker is cut off)

Hey Ddweb29,

Thanks for the purchase and kind words :)

Ah you’re right, the sale sticker is slightly off, this will be fixed in the next update, but until then add this css code to your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .onsale, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product .onsale {margin: 3px; }

Should fix it :)

Cubell

Thank you! It fixed it! :)

No problem :)

Hi Guys,

We’re trying to get ads from Google Ad Sense appearing at the top of this site. The code has been inserted in the usual place (we’ve had ads running from another provider in the same spot with no issues) but nothing displays.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

www.the-shame.co.uk

Kind regards

Dan

Hi Dan,

Do you have AdBlocker turned on in your browser? That extension removes AdSense ads and if so, is the reason it isn’t showing for you. I went on your site and I can see the ad fine :)

Cubell

love this theme! do you offer shortcodes for adding any shop (woocommerce) data like highest rated products etc. on the homepage or other pages – also with the team photos etc – if not, this would be a great addition. :)

also can the main menu be made fixed and not floating?

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the interest and kind words :)

If you build a homepage using the Valenti Drag & Drop builder, you can add modules to the homepage that are specifically for “custom code” where you can insert shortcodes and they’ll execute in that location. WooCommerce already have loads of shortcodes, so you can use any of them, you can check them out here: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/

And regarding the main menu, you can turn the “sticky” feature on/off in the theme options.

I hope this helps

Purchased theme a couple of months ago and are just getting started with it. I would like to know how you get the widgets Tags/Latest/Reviews in the demo on the same line.

Cheers

Hi Hokikiwi,

Thanks for your purchase. Before you start, have you downloaded the latest version of the theme? Because if you are using the version you downloaded months ago, you will be missing out on loads of great features added to the theme + lots of bug fixes.

To show multiple widgets in a single widget space, you use the “Valenti multi-widget”, and it is very easy to use/setup, in the documentation read the “Valenti Widgets” section for a tutorial on how to do it.

Hi Cubell,

One other thing I realized would be great in an update is if there were an option to have the thumbnails on the front page have a little box/etc. that list their category.

So, for instance, I could have all of my reviews say “Reviews” in a little box for their thumbnails, and other categories like “Music” or “Impressions” would have their boxes. As of now, I’m having to put the category in the title to distinguish, which isn’t as professional.

Thanks!

Hi Oasdeip,

All the post previews that appear in modules and blog styles do have the category/s set to the post in the “by line”, the only time that you wouldn’t see that is if you turned the by-line off in the theme options, if you did do that, why not disable the byline except for the category part by turning it on, and then adding this custom css code:

.cb-byline .cb-author, .cb-byline .cb-date, .cb-byline-comments { display : none!important; }

Should do the trick! I hope it helps!

Cubell

Is there any way to display custom post types in any of the the sliders or moduals? I love this theme and curious about making this happen. Any help?

Hi Promonoe,

Thanks for the purchase, I hope you’re enjoying the theme.

I am about to release v1.5 of the theme (trying to release it later today), and one of the new features is that the theme is now 100% compatible with custom post types, so they will appear in the modules/blog styles/mega menu, etc. The custom post types will now also automatically show the review system, color/background option boxes, etc.

Stay tuned for that :)

Cubell

Sounds great! I’m looking forward to downloading the theme ASAP!

I’m close to finishing it, but once I submit it, Themeforest staff need to approve it (run quality checks) before being available to download, and even though they usually approve themes within a few hours, some times it can be up to 1-2 days! You will receive an email once its ready to download.

Cubell

Hello Cubell,

Thanks for your assistance. I changed the homepage and now it is great. My last question is as I am using in Turkish I want to change the name of “breaking”, “related posts” “about the author” things. Can you help me which file should I have to look at?

Thanks again,

Levent.

Hi Levent,

No problem, I’m happy to help :)

To translate the theme to another language all you need to do is follow the steps explained in the documentation -> Translating Theme section. If you run into any problems doing it, let me know in the support system: http://cubell.ticksy.com and I’ll do my best to help you further.

Cibell

Quick question… I have purchased (twice) this theme for my 2 websites. In love 100%. Great theme and super user friendly.

I have somehow disabled the Breaking News secondary menu on my site Letstalklogistics.com and I have no clue how to get it back. I have gone thru theme options and I have created the menu in the menu area.

What do you think I have done?

The funny part to me is, my other site abundancemagnified.com I did it correctly and it was my first use of your theme. :/

Hi again,

Thanks very much, I’m glad I could help :)

That is really nice to know, thanks again. I am going to be releasing more themes in the future, and I definitely plan to have a go at creating a corporate theme at some point :)

Cubell

Is there a way to make an item on the secondary menu (breaking News bar) open in a new window?

Hey again,

Yes that is possible, but it’s actually a WordPress built-in feature. In Apperance -> Menus, click on the “screen options” on the top right corner, and check the “link target” box. Now in each menu item you will find a new checkbox to make the links open in a new window :)

Hope this helps

Cubell

Hello,

it is possible to integrate valenti rating in other WP theme framework ?

thank you.

Hi Matrixul,

Thanks for the purchase, I hope you’re enjoying it.

Every framework/theme uses a different review system (authors have to write it from scratch as WordPress doesn’t provide one), so they all work differently, which means the theme has to call it a certain way, and as such, review systems aren’t compatible in different themes. The only way to do this is to use a review system plugin which is independent from themes.

Cubell

How does the “related post” feature work? I only see the option to turn it on/off.

Is it possible to specify the posts to show or based on post tags in the “related post”?

Hi again,

The “Related posts” block shows posts that use the same tags as the post you are currently seeing. If no posts are found, then the related posts shows posts from the same category.

I wrote it this way, because tags are meant to be used for exactly this purpose, but many users don’t use them, so I wrote it to show from the same category too if no tags are used.

I hope this information is helpful.

Cubell

With this theme, is it possible to insert ads in the homepage where the post boxes are? This feature would be valuable for me. The verge do something similar…

If not could it be added?

Thanks, Steven

Hi Steven,

Thanks very much for the interest in the theme.

Yes, the theme allows you to insert ads in multiple places throughout the site. One of them being when you build the homepage using the pagebuilder, you will find multiple modules where you can enter ad code, you can see them in the demo site too. On the demo homepage if you look above the “Hip Hop”, “Design” and “Valenti Social Media Widget” area, you will see the module that allows you to insert a 970×90 ad. If you scroll down a bit further, next to the calendar widget you will see the module for 728×90 ads. And if you go on: http://valenti.cubellthemes.com/hompeage-sidebar-all-the-way/ and scroll down you will see the module for 336×280 ads.

The pagebuilder also has modules for “custom code”, so you can enter code for other sizes too.

I hope this helps

Hi Cubell,

Is there a simple way to turn on the review option for all posts? i am starting to add it to newer posts, but i have many (200+) posts which don’t have the review system enabled for them… :-(.

www.crownmymusic.com

Thanks for awesome theme and can’t wait for update!!

Amanuel

Hi again Amanuel,

You could turn it on the review system for posts reasonably fast with a plugin that allows you to set a custom field value, however, even if you enabled it to all those posts, surely you want to give each one their own scores? And for that you would almost definitely have to go into each post and set the scores manually. So unfortunately, I don’t think there is an easy way to do that. Sorry bud!

I am hoping to release v1.5 later today which adds new features and fixes/improves a lot of things! Stay tuned for that :)

Cubell

Hi Cubell Just a quick question I am using Recent Posts widget and i wonder if there is an option to add the time my post published after the date Is that possible? Please advise

Hey again,

The only way to add the time to the date is to edit some code to add it, but if you did that, it would add the time to every date in the site. I can advice you on how to do this through the support system: http://cubell.ticksy.com

How to hide author by line at post/page level? I used following custom css but not working:

.cb-author { display : none; }

Hi Hlchia,

Thanks for your purchase, I hope you enjoy sing it.

Do you mean you only want to hide the author from the “By line” inside pages/posts? If so, you would have to add custom CSS for something so specific and do something like this:
.single .cb-entry-header .cb-byline .cb-author, .page .cb-entry-header .cb-byline .cb-author { display: none; }

If you mean the “About the author box”, there is an option in the Theme Options -> Posts tab to turn it off.

I hope this helps, but for future support questions, please use the support system at http://cubell.ticksy.com

LOVE THIS THEME!

A few questions:

1. How can I change the layout of the hover menu that displays page information when the mouse is over a page title? Instead of having drop down menus, I want my page categories to be displayed in the same way as the demo – ‘Category’ names on the left hand side with ‘Recent’ pictures of posts on the right.

2. How do I change the colors for each page when the mouse hovers over the main menu?

www.gabfestgabrielle.com

Thanks for your help!

Hi Gabfest,

Thanks for the purchase and kind words :)

I really like your site, but I noticed that you are using a very old version of the theme, you should really update to the latest version, as some big bugs have been fixed! The update instructions can be found in the documentation

1- There is a section in the documentation about megamenus that explains how to set it all up

2- Simply set a color to the page/category and it will automatically be used in the hovers. This can also be found in the documentation

I hope this helps and for future support please use the free support system at http://cubell.ticksy.com :)

HI Love this theme.

I want to know how can I Change the “h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 etc…” and the texte typography for basic fonts. Like Helvetica and arial for the tittles and menus. As it’s was i was using on my previous theme.

Thanks a lot

Hi Lulopez,

Thanks for the purchase and kind words :)

In the Typography tab in the Theme Options there is an option to override the fonts with your own custom fonts, simply copy/paste the font-family code of the font you want to use and it will appear, you can find the exact code to use for basic fonts here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp

I hope this helps

Cubell

Thanks a lot for your answer. I also submit a ticket to support with some more questions… as i’m crazy working on this theme to make my site look awesome as the demo.

Regards

Luis

Hey again, no problem, happy to help. I answered your ticket a few minutes ago :)

Hi there, wondering where the psd file is for the theme. I would like to change some colours and see how it will look on photoshop :)

Hi Vivianattv,

Unfortunately there are no PSDs anywhere. I design with pen and paper and then polish it all off directly in the browsers :)

I recommend you open your site in Chrome, and then right click the element you want to see in a different color, and click “inspect element”, now on the right half of your developer tools you will see all the CSS code applied to that element, scroll down and you will probably find a colored one, simply click the color to open the colorpicker and you can change it in your browser to see how it looks. I hope this helps somewhat!
