how to avoid theme left menu refresh itself when you double click a menu item? it makes navigating between links totally unavailable and all the menu tree becomes useless.

if you have many items like me in your menu, your visitor will totally get lost where he is. because it closes the sub menu items and refreshes the whole web page when you double click a left menu item.

it refreshes even if you navigate a little bit fast it imagines you are double clicking..

Hi,
I already told you that can try and edit the main.js file for this. Most of the websites don’t do that and I agree that we should not block loading if someone decides to click the menu again. Open some popular themes here and you will see that if you click on a menu button that opens the same page as you are, the whole page will reload.
Let me just add that you can create parent menu buttons that don’t link to any page. All you need to do is create a custom link and make the URL value ”#”.
Cheers!

actually the problem is not only reloading. it also closes the menu tree when it refreshes.. so the navigation stops and the user gets lost. probably he will close the website. and exit for alternatives.

also those top rated templates are not using left side stable menus. they are using active menus which are disappearing when you remove your mouse on it. so its normal that kind of menus to refresh itself because sometimes the menu gots stuck and menu doesnt fades away even if you remove your mouse curses above.

for menus placed left and stays stable are good for crowded menu web pages. for example i have 300 pages on my website. imagine a visitor navigatin between the pages he is reading page 167 and accidentally he doubleclicks the menu item when navigating. and boom he is all lost.

that makes template unuseful for websites like mine with many menu items.

actually i dont also know where to edit in main.js.

Hi, a menu with 300 items is never good. With any theme… I still think that your idea is not good, but anyway send me a private message with a link and describe the menu buttons that I should click. Cheers!

Hi! Where (if any) is the code to increase the size between portfolio items in the grid option on the portfolio page?

Thanks!

Hi,
Under that page content you will find some options. One of them is the thumbnails margin. Cheers!

Ah! The one place I didn’t look :) Thanks!

No problem… The important options for pages and posts are usually located under the content. Cheers!

is this possible to easily create a right side bar just like the menu on the left? im trying to implement a right side bar as another menu or like a “news” section but i cannot succeed.

Hi, that is not very easy to implement and it won’t look good on some page types. Cheers!

I have a problem displaying the text messages over fullscreen slider in IE9 si IE10, any idea why? http://www.montaguolsen.com/v2.1/

Hi,
Yes, I have replied 12h ago. Let me know if you have not received it. Thanks!

Sure, your email was in spam :) I have sent you screen shots and also some debugging toughs.

Have to say that I love your work and I think your products are incredible complex and well made. Cheers, Victor

Thank you for your kind comments! I have received your emails and will get back to you later today. Cheers!

I have my home page set to display the latest post, but it only shows an excerpt of the post, how do I display the Full Text from the post?

Thanks

Hi,
I have replied 6 days ago and sent an email to your gmail address. Please check your spam folder. Thanks!

Sorry, Thank You for the great support. :)

You are welcome :)

Hi Pirenko, How can I stop the animation of the portfolio items in the grid, but maintain the automatic animation on the single portfolio item? I’m loading the portfolio posts on the same page.

And second question: how can I make the text excerpt visible in the overlay of the portfolio item. I’m using the grid portfolio. There is lots of empty space in the overlay to display some text, but I cannot find how to do that.

Thanx in advance!

Hi,
Under that portfolio page content you will find some options. Turn the “Mini Sliders” off. Cheers!

That did it! Thank you. I missed the option, but it is really there.

You are welcome!

Is there a way to autoplay the slides on the homepage?

Hi,
It depends on the type of page that your homepage is, but probably you can find that option on the options panel located under the page content. Cheers!

Hi, Do you have this PSD layout to sell? I don`t want use this with WP. I want use with keystone.js and I’ll make front end based in layout.

Hi, no I don’t have it. Thanks!

Where do I select the color for the left menu scrollbar, the three horizontal lines when menu is collapsed and the little arrow at the bottom?

Hi,
That color is variable and it is the theme current active color. You can know more about color management on the theme documentation or on this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXhkpWNa6Fk&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Cheers!

There appears to be a shadow on all header titles. Is there an easy way to remove that? I see the settings for changing that for borders and lines, but not for the headers.

Great theme! Thanks. Erik

You mentioned header titles so I thought it was just that. For the menu add this extra element .sf-menu > li > a
About the blog titles: I don’t know exactly to what element you are referring to so maybe it is better that you send me a private message with an annotated screenshot. Thanks!

Ok – thanks – I just messaged you.

Erik

Ok, thanks!

Hi!

Great work on this theme. Loving it.

Two questions:

1. I can’t get the Mailchimp subscribe button to get the theme style. I have removed all Mailchimps own style but the grey small button still showing up. Anything else to try?

2. I’m using a page with sections to display one team member on the bottom of the page but the image is outside the grid. The team member is aligned more to the left then the rest of the content. It doesn’t matter if I choose one or more members per column. How to fix this?

Let me know if you want access, the site is closed right now. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Good to know that you are enjoying the theme. And yes, I need access to the website to comment on this so please send me a private message. Thanks!

I have problems with my portfolia. Items are overlapping on the page.

Hi,
Please turn off all the plugins and try again. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

Done. but it still looks the same. did send you a mail.

Hi! We love your theme…...... the only thing is that something is running conflict with my images in woocommerce and the rest of the site. I have searched for solutions and have tried all of them and still no luck. I have regenerated thumbs…still nothing. I can’t get the cart to display 3 columns either (have installed a plugin WooCommerce Product Archive Customiser with no luck) and I can’t get images to resize properly. Also, the sidebar cuts off when we use a header. Can you please check this out for me and let me know if you can spot the problem or suggest a fix? http://www.breasthealingmap.coxwebdesign.co.nz

Hi,
Well I agree if that plugin is officially released by the Woocommerce Team. I could not find it on their website: http://www.woothemes.com/product-category/woocommerce-extensions/
Let me know if I am wrong. Thanks!

yes you are right…...I downloaded it from wordpress.org so I guess this isn’t an official woocommerce extension.

Hi,
Sorry, but I can’t make the theme compliant with all plugins (you can see that also on the theme support tab). All I can add is that if you don’t load those styles the theme elements will work as expected. Maybe that plugin has the option to don’t load styles? Or maybe you can try and clear that .css file content?
Just some ideas… Cheers!

Hi,

This page does not load properly on the first go. It needs to be refreshed to load properly. http://www.candidaffair.in/testimonials Can you please take a look?

Hi,
What mobile device are you using? Also, does that happen here http://www.pirenko.com/samba/ ?
Thanks!

Nevermind. I asked a question related to this issue below.

Ok, thanks!

Hi,

As ‘in_same_cat’ => false does not work, could you tell me where i can find the request that get the post of this navigation ? I just simply need to get all portfolio post Thanks

Hi,
Changing that variable value works just fine here. Please send me a private message with a link (turn off all your plugins before testing that too). Send me also the WP login details. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

i found a small bug on ui-tabs on phone device (android and apple too)

You can test the bug with your exemple : http://www.pirenko.com/samba/shortcodes-ii/

when you click on the last name colors, you lose the correct css for tabs.

thanks a lot for your anwser

Hi,
What do you mean with “Last name colors”? Thanks!

sorry on the last tab name colors in your exemple.

Hi,
You are right. Can you please re-test the theme preview? If it is ok please send me a private message for a quick fix. Thanks!

Hi,

This latest theme update is given issues to which I can no longer Filter my WooCommerce products by category in the backend. It simply does not work. I need to do this as I have roughly 148 products and it get’s difficult to find the one I need to modify.

I’ve troubleshooted this by deactivating the theme and testing: works fine, then reactivating Samba: does not work.

Please disregard, upgrading WooCommerce has resolved the issue.

Ok, thanks!

Hi there,

Is the latest version comparable with WooCommerce 2.1.8?

Hi,
At this moment there are no known issues with that WooCommerce version. Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to add a behance icon to the left sidebar social links widget? Thanks. Anna

Hi,
Yes, sure. I will include it on the next update. In the meantime you can send me a private message and I’ll send you some tweaked files.
Cheers!

is there a demo access? we want to see how how customizable the post colors are before we purchase it.. just wanna make sure its the right theme for what our client needs.

Hi,
I’m sorry, but there’s no test drive to the Samba Options. Anyway, this video shows how colors are managed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXhkpWNa6Fk&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV
Cheers!
