Hi! Pirenko,

I need a support, I want to make a 4 image gallery with the address in the page page of each all will be under one main category called stores.

How can I do that?

Hi, I don’t understand what you want to do. Send me a private message with a link please. Thanks!

Hi,

I don’t see the Theme Changelog for 3.3, could you detail it please ? thanks

Hi,
I have just updated the theme description. Thanks!

thanks

Hi Pirenko,

We’re having some trouble with our blog post layout. The content is displayed at nearly full-width, and it also increases/stretches the picture size usually leading to poor image quality. How can we change the blog post layout to resemble yours from the demo site.

Here’s ours: https://www.mediapaas.com/blog/ Here’s yours: http://www.pirenko.com/samba/2013/08/30/get-ready-2/ http://www.pirenko.com/samba/2013/09/07/online-gaming-2/

Also we tried adding some CCS to change the blog post text, font, and so on for readability but it didn’t reflect in the blog. Is this the right caller?

.postContent p { margin-top: 1.7em; /or any other value you want/ }

.blog_post_item_description h1, .blog_item_description h1 { font-family: ‘Raleway’, sans-serif; font-size: 36px!important; font-weight: 400!important; }

Thanks!

Hi, the link you sent to your website is not a single post so it can’t be compared with the theme links. Please compare 2 pages that are similar and remove your Custom CSS to be sure that the layout issue is not coming from there. Thanks!

Sorry – put the wrong link in! We removed the CSS and here’s the link to compare: https://www.mediapaas.com/2014/01/08/cloud-transcoding-helps-media-producers-deliver-content-to-fragmented-audiences/

Hi,
The problem is that your featured image has only 300 pixels wide: https://www.mediapaas.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/01/transcoding.jpg
You should upload wider images or adjust the option “Maximum content width” under Samba Options>General tab.
Cheers!

Hi, I tried to simply add a phone field in the native contact page template but unfortunately no way for me ;-)

So, I tried to do it with contact form 7, I managed it but something strange happened when I added a contact form 7 shortcode in the Samba contact options : the fields became « slow » (I mean, I need to go to the following field if i want to see what is written in the previous field). I don ’t talk about placeholder. I noticed if I removed few css the problem disappear. Here are the css added when using Cf7 : .wpcf7 input[type=”text”]{float: left;} .wpcf7 input[type=”email”]{float:right;} .wpcf7 input[type=”tel”]{float:right;}

And, if I do a new contact page (using the Classic layout template) I don’t have the problem.

I’d like to use the native contact form to keep the same presentation.

I’m actually working in local and I can’t show you an exemple (I hope you’ll understand). Thanks.

Ok, cheers!

Ok, thanks! I will get back to you soon. Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, The textbox element does not show the word options so i cannot format my text and the content i put in it are white, blending with the background so i can’t see my text contents in the element. Kindly help out.

Hi,
It seems that the same happens with any of the Wordpress default themes (when the Visual Editor is active) so this is not a Samba issue. Thanks!

Dear Pirenko..

First many thanx for this great & nice theme, it’s rock up my site.

But I found that I have error with exporting RSS feeds, I can’t make the default RSS page for wordpress to work, it’s say : “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.”

My site is: http://kashida.ly/feed/

Can you advise me about this issue.

Best regards

Hi, did you tried with another theme? Thanks!

Yaa,, good tip! I tried it with another theme & still have error. I guess it not SAMBA problem..!!

Sorry for Sorry for the inconvenience…

Sure, not a problem :)

Hi Pirenko! I need two portfolios having same skills but different set of images as is in your example site (Grid & Masonry) http://www.pirenko.com/samba/masonry-portfolio/ 1. Personal Projects : Portfolio Grid layout – same skills – one set of images. 2. Gallery : Portfolio Masonry layout – same skills – different set of images How do i achieve this?

Hi, yes you can do that. Let me know if you buy the theme and need help. Thanks!

Hi Pirenko! Love the theme! I’m a little working about crashing my site but I wan’t to make it as fast as possible. Is there anyway to get the settings you prefer for W3Total Cache, or any other helpful plugins?

Thanks! Andrew

Hi,
Good to know that you are enjoying Samba… On the theme preview I’m using that plugin with the default settings. Cheers!

Thanks! One more thing if you don’t mind…I have the documentation with choosing different icons but I can’t seem to find the cool multi colored – more dynamic icons that are used in the preview and on your site. Am I missing or overlooking them?

Hi,
That is because those are not font icons. They are images… You can get them at pixeden.com .
Cheers!

hey Pirenko, There’s something not well with Google webmaster tools with this them, Whenever I fetch and Render page as Google from Google Webmaster tools, THe output shows nothing.

That means google cant see stuff on my page, Everything is just null!

Example : http://i.imgur.com/l5A2qci.png

Any solutions?

Hi,
That should not have to do with the theme. Try with another theme to confirm this. Cheers!

Hi,

The submenu isn’t displayed when I’m logged in the admin panel.

Hi,
Yes it is true (will release an update soon), you can send me a private message for a quick fix. Thanks!

Hey Hi Pirenko, Need urgent help, I moved to Cloud hosting recently.

Everything is setup, But nothing shows up on the page. Wp-admin works perfectly. But nothing on page.

Please help me out. :)

I’ll send you login details by mail.

Tried to upload all the files again, still the problem remains. Please have a look again.

The problem is certainly related with the migration that you made and I don’t see any errors on the browser. You should try a fresh WP install or change the cloud settings in some way.
Cheers!

Umm. Did some tries and Success! It works! Thanks anyway :)

I have an preorder question: Can I anyway define a maximum width of the theme? So the left sidebar is fixed (I think). And the content on the right should be max for example 1000 px. Thanks!

Hi,
You can adjust that size with the theme options.
Please just be aware that on some pages the content will always be full width (example: http://www.pirenko.com/samba/ ).
Cheers!

Okay… but if I don’t use these templates (full width) it’s okay for me.

Another question: can you add the pagination feature an the grid blog template?

Hi,
That is not on my plans for future updates. Thanks!

Wow, what a nice theme, it is now #1 for my next site. Will see after I’m done my theme search. :bigwink:

Ok, great :)

I feel like this is a stupid question since I set up my site in the first place, but I’ve recently shifted my site from www.wellingtonfamilyphotography.co.nz to charlotteweston.photography and I can’t figure out how to get the coloured menu working properly on the left sidebar. I’ve updated to the latest version of Samba and Wordpress. What am I doing wrong here?

I fixed it under menu locations, thanks!

Hi,
Ok, great :grin:

I am having an issue too with the opening of submenues. I created a main menu item and put a page underneath it (submenu) but when I try to open the main menu, it doesn’t show me the submenu item but goes to the main items page. How can I fix this?

Hi,
This should only happen when you are logged in. Send me a private message for a quick fix. I will release an update soon. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. Would be great if you could provide an update. I want to check the functionality while the website is in maintenance mode. I don’t want my customers to see the new design before all the changes have been implemented.

Hi,
Sure, I have just replied to your email. Cheers!

Hi! How can I eliminate the borders of all tables in my samba website? Thanks!

Hi,
Please send me a private message with a link so that I can see what tables are you talking about.
Cheers!

Hi! I have installed the theme and created the menu and sub menu, but when I publish the menu, the sub menu tree doesn’t open it opens another page.

So I created the custom menu removed the link add # yet its the same.

Thank you so much for the support, I have removed the requested codes.

Thank you so much for the amazing Support. Highly Appreciate.

You are welcome :)

Hello Pirenko, Please i’d like to know how i can identify the H1 tag for the blogposts. i’m trying to optimise my website for search engines. thanks.

Hi,
What do you mean with “identify”? Thanks!

Hello – I’m having an issue where when I load a page containing an audio file, the new WP audio player feature does not load upon first entering the page. If I refresh the page after I have entered the page, the audio feature will show up, but not the first time around. Do you know if this has to do with the template and is there anything you recommend I do to fix this issue? Here is an example – http://goo.gl/vtbB2G

Thanks, Erik

Hi,
Try turning the Ajax loading option off under Samba Options>General tab. If you only want to reload specific pages please check the theme documentation. Cheers!

Thanks – that seems to have fixed it.

My site was dreadfully slow. I turned off all plug ins and then turned them on one at a time. Your “WPBakery Visual Composer (Samba)” is the culprit… but now my entire site is wrapped up in it and won’t diplay without it. Have you updated this plugin at all to make it not jam up the service? I like your theme but I can’t have it kill the speed of the site.

128 or 256 if possible. Cheers!

it is currently 128
