Hey Imaginem,

Still loving this theme! In fact have implemented both my Wordpress license and straight HTML license for projects, and probably about to grab another WP license for my own site.

I have a need to reorganize the images in the galleries I have populated, what is the best way to do this? Would you recommend using a custom field and then adding an order by parameter to the loop that populates the galleries, or should I be looking at a plugin of some sort?

Thanks in advance.

michaelmesh

Do you have any new themes in the making?

Hi michaelmesh,

The custom field method can work to sort the images. This can give you more control than from the plugin.

I’m working on a new design right now. Happy to say that its coming out very well.

Thanks :)

How do you know what section is which?

I’m having an issue creating pages using your theme.

I can create and preview a new page with no problem but when i publish the the page and try to view it i get the 404 Page Not Found error. Is there something i am doing wrong here? Also i am on wordpress 3.0.

Hi,

It should work well with wp 3.0, best if you could give me a url. I’d like to check whats going wrong.

Thanks

Hi Imaginem,

I need to add a contact form to the sidebar.

2 Questions: 1)how do I get that capture form to appear before your regular sidebar? I want it to appear above the search field.

2)Is there a contact form plugin you recommend to use with this theme?

Thank you!

Leo S.

Hi,

1. Edit sidebar.php , insert your code before line 16 which is the search field.

2. Could you try contact 7 or cforms

Thanks

Thanks a lot Imaginem. Cforms did not work at all for some reason, but C7 did. I just got to mess with the CSS now.

Great support.

brilliant .. thanks for your help…

all works perfectly…

...

if anyone is in two minds about buying this theme..

go for it.. excellent support..

Thanks :)

Hi Phil,

I got your mail. Will reply after checking.

Thanks

Hi imaginem,

marvelous theme!

This theme would be perfectly suited for a client project. However I have a few questions before I’ll hit the purchase button:

1. Can I link from the kwick accordion on the home page to a portfolio slide thumbnail page instead of a blog page? Each of the four kwick sliders should link to a seperate portfolio page (preferably the “portfolio slide thumbnail” variant).

2. Can the two portfolio types “portfolio slide thumbnail” and “portfolio slide buttons” be set up so they have a sidebar on the right-hand side (such as the blog-overview page and the individual blog-pages or the About page do)?

3. Can comments in blog posts be disabled?

4. Can there be different and specific categories on the right sidebar on different pages?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi,

1. Supported and can be chosen from theme options to use categories or pages

2. Not present in the theme. You’ll need CSS and code modification.

3. Yes. One line of code deletion can get comments off. Otherwise comments can be disabled when creating per Post basis. This way a notice will appear saying Comments disabled.

4. Not present in the theme. Code modification will require.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your in-depth reply. Much appreciated!

Same here I cant figure out how to make the portfolio even show up. I followed the instructions as is and I have gone through all 11 pages of discussion but I havnt yet figured it out..

Any help?

Hi,

To make a Portfolio page

  • Create a Category for your Portfolio
  • Publish your Portfolio Posts (with Image or Video URLs) to the Category
  • Create a Page and from there Choose – Portfolio Template – Portfolio Category – Portfolio Style.

Please note that this method will give you choice to create unlimited number of Portfolio Parent category and link them anywhere in the Menu.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thank!

I have some more question but I would like to email you.

Thanks,

Jeff

I just noticed the 3 comments above me are all people trying to do the exact same thing as me so you can answer all of us at once or just put it in the help documents so we don’t bug you :-)

Love the theme but am baffled on how to create a portfolio category page like the sample you have here: http://www.imaginemthemes.com/demo/echoes/echoes-green/portfolio-category.html

I’ve tried adding the category-include and listing the 2 categories of portfolio posts- that didn’t work.

I tried adding a second custom field with the additional category name but it keeps reverting back to the single category I added above in the portfolio category clickdown.

How do I get it to work like your example above?? Thank you for any help as I’m out of ideas and it’s nowhere in the documentation.

Hi,

The HTML version is used as a reference to the Color skins. Wordpress version doesn’t have Category Lists. as category images aren’t supported in wordpress. Everything else from the livedemo link in the Item header is present.

Sorry about that.

Thanks

got it thanks..

this is my last question as i think i have everything else sorted..

if you can look at this page

http://www.heiden.co.uk/?page_id=78

i want to make the portfolio images and portfolio titles link to the specific case studies ( at the moment only the titles link.. the images go to enlarged version of the image )

i was guessing i had to edit something in portfolio_functions.php

but i did not know what…

last question honestly !!! hope you can help…

many thanks

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Edit portfolio-functions.php line 331(video link) and 333(image link)

Replace with

< a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

I’ve deliberately put a space between the ‘<’ and ‘a’ at the start as the forum is not displaying it correctly when together.

A reference of the same code is in line 339

Thanks

Hi Imagenem, thanks for your answer but i succeeded to find the trouble.

But have another question now ^^ :

I would like to make categories page like Portfolio. But portfolio theme show posts and not categories.

Do you think it’s possible by adding a plugin to assign pictures to categories and by tweaking the code ?

(I specify that i’m not developer).

Thks for your help !

Anything is possible by tweaking the code :)

In Echoes the Portfolio categories are pulled inside a Page and displayed. This is a better method as it gives the freedom to implement any number of Parent Portfolio anywhere and Portfolio in many styles. If this is done using the archive.php (category file) lots of code will need to get it done compared to the Page method. Developers can easily change the portfolio styles as they exist as Page templates.

The other archive.php modification method would require to check the Category ID and then use a different style to display the Post loop for given categories.

It’d require being familiar with wordpress codes.

Thanks

Is it possible to attach short captions or titles to images used in shortcode galleries (carousel, thumbnails) that are included in posts? If so, what needs to be done?

Thanks very much.

Hi,

You can edit the custom-shortcodes.php file in functions folder, Line 191 starts the carousel shortcode.

The images are pulled in from the post attachments , you can modify it to fit in a description. Right now it getting the title. Descriptions would be in post_content and captions in post_excerpt.

Thanks

Thanks…

I’m using the same text for titles and captions in this context, so either one will do, and I see that it’s calling the title, but those titles aren’t appearing in the Colorbox content containers when I use the shortcode galleries.

@imaginem

I replace the original code back and the museo font appears again.

I’ll mail you a login now.

Many thanks

Phil

@imaginem

Link is: http://iattract.co.uk/test/

I’m testing it here before unleashing it on my main site.

I’ve removed the museo call from functions.php and replaced with:

wp_enqueue_script( ‘atype_1’, ECHOES _JS . ’/Atype_1_400.font.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), ’’ );

That font file is located in the js folder as was the museo.

Seems right, but still no cufon :(

Hi,

It could be something to do with your generated js font.

Have you tried replacing with the original js font with the download. Does it get it back to cufon. I don’t see anything that stands out to give an error.

Could you mail me with a login info via my profile. I’d like to check if possible.

Thanks

Hi I have a problem in the use of the portfolio. I followed all the steps, creating a category, the creation of post to that category and creating a page with the portfolio template and the category. But it don’t shows the posst. You can view the page in www.casasmaderavalencia.com. If you need more information please ask me because I’m mulling over many hours and not get it to work.

The link to the page with portfolio is “Catálogo de casas”, and the category is “catalogo”. There are 5 posts with this category. The id of category is 15 – http://www.casasmaderavalencia.com/?cat=15

Hi,

I checked your website, and saw the portfolio page generated with the category you’ve listed, you got it right.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

hi there..

thanks for that..

it works well using the portfolio layout..

trouble is i cant figure out how to get the posts appear in the case studies button at the top of the site..?

can i only display pages in the menu section?

thanks

S.

Hi,

You can create a custom link using the wp 3.0 menu system. Any link can be generated using it.

Thanks

Also, is there a way to enable comments on Portfolio Pages?

Hi,

Comments will be supported in the individual portfolio item pages. In the Portfolio Sets comments aren’t generated as they make use of Pages instead of Posts. ( For Portfolio Sets )

Thanks

I’ve located the Cufon font header script in functions.php, but when I alter it to the name of the font.js file (uploaded into same folder as Museo_Sans_500.font.js), it disables the cufon and titles appear as normal text.

Any ideas?

It might not be picking up the font ; check if there is a typo and make sure you’re not loading both fonts.

Could you give me a link. I’ll check and see what the problem is.

Thanks
