Hi Pirenko,

I have a problem with portfolio page. When I want to load more posts, it says that there are no more to show, but it’s not true. http://www.lrx.es/planbet/publicaciones/

Can you help? Thanks.

Hi, please send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze the content and page options. Thanks :)

Hello Pirenko,

google webmaster tools tells me that I have dead links such as: http://www.zartzart.fr/2/ http://www.zartzart.fr/3/ http://www.zartzart.fr/6/ ... So I wish I remove the pages from my ftp, but I do not know how to find them. In which folder find the pages?

Hi,
If that is a regular theme page the file to edit is the page.php. Cheers!

than you :)

You are welcome ;)

Hey Pirenko. I found the samba_theme_options in the database and moved everything to my local. It all worked and broght over the theme options to the theme options area of the site.

What the database doesn’t save are the ‘Single Portfolio Custom Options’ and the ‘Samba Slide Custom Options.’ Is there another location in the db to find those.

Thanks!

Hi,
That information is also stored on the database. The arrays id’s are _custom_meta_slides and _custom_meta
Cheers!

Thanks Pirenko. Found them! One thing to note for anyone moving their site to a local or re uploading the database. My custom_metas were not appearing because the serialized strings were broken (character limit.) If you are not seeing the custom meta appear then try to use this when migrating your site and updating the database links https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Ok, thanks ;)

Hi there,

I have a question regarding Google maps. I’ve tried a number of Google map plugins and I’m seeing the same issue all of the time. I’m embedding a map onto one of the pages, but for some reason the maps do not load sometimes. I then have to stop the page from loading and I’ll refresh it. It will work then properly the second time. Sometimes it works fine the first time. I’ve a video of the issue here: http://youtu.be/JzA3W6RuARM?hd=1

Have you any thoughts on why this is happening and how it can be fixed?

Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! If you are using plugins I suggest that you turn OFF the Ajax load feature under the Samba Options>General tab.
Cheers ;)

Thank you. That has done the trick! :)

Hi, I have a big problem.

Contact form doesn’t work when I arrive at homepage (http://www.creation-site-web-paris.com and click “contact/devis”

But it work when I arrive directly to “contact/devis” Page : http://www.creation-site-web-paris.com/page-de-contact/

Please help me.

Thanks for respond. I don’t want turn off ajax. I like that feature.

But what’s the risk to commented the line 2550 (//check_ajax_referer(‘ajax-nonce’);) ?

Hi,
That should help avoid spamming through the form. If you don’t get tons of spam you should not worry about that.
Cheers!

Ok thank you.

Nothing serious so I would advise if this happens.

Hi

How to make the left menu sticky when page loads with the option to close/slide?

Hi,
The menu default state is set according to the option “Minimum content width before collapsing menu” located under Samba Options>General tab.
Cheers ;)

Dear Pirenko

I want to use special Arabic custom Fonts in the theme is there is an way to do that? I have all @Font-Face and CSS files for it. so I want to know where I must put my font folder to make the Custom CSS work fine when I add it in the theme.

Thnx

Hi,
Here’s a small article I wrote about adding custom fonts to all my themes: http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2013/08/27/extra-fonts-plugin-by-pirenko/
Cheers :)

That was so good, THNX

You are welcome :)

Another question. I’m trying to replicate the same design as another website, but it’s being quite hard.

I want my page: http://www.grahamfifteen.com/millencapital/?page_id=234 to be shown as this one: http://bienvillecapital.com/approach

But it’s quite difficult to do that. I’ve used the Visual Composer on a “Page-classic layout” template, 2 columns, 1st=”Single image” and 2nd=”Text block”.

And also customizing the CSS for that page via top-right button [</> CSS]. (See screenshot: http://www.christianhart.com/SambaIssue.jpg):

.prk_inner_block { max-width: 3000px; } .column, .columns { padding: 0; } .unsidebarized.columns { padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 30px; } .vc_responsive div.vc_row-fluid { margin-left: 20px; }

But still would like the left image to be as a “1st column background”, and, if possible, just scrolling the 2nd column. Hope I’ve explained myself, as it is difficult to explain.

Any idea? Can I use another “html plain page tamplate” or something like that?

Thank you!

Hi,
You are trying to make changes to the theme that require testing and probably something more than just CSS. I can’t really answer properly to your questions without spending time testing them and probably you will need to hire someone to help you.
Cheers ;)

Yes, I know. Thank you, though. Cheers

Hi, I´ve installed the reCaptcha, I´ve got the two keys. Now what? I have a contact form 7. How can I make the captcha appear at the bottom of the contact form on the contact page? Thanks!

Hi,
I don’t know exactly how so you need to check both plugins documentation for that. Thanks :)

Ok, thanks nevertheless.

Hi there, I’m not sure if this is a theme issue, but I have this problem: In my testing site: http://www.grahamfifteen.com/millencapital/ I have a page called “Appex Wealth” with [Custom CSS] defined: http://www.christianhart.com/SambaIssue.jpg

When I click on the “Appex Wealth” menu, it loads with extra paddings on left and top, paddings which I removed on the custom CSS. If I reload the page, it just gets displayed OK. It seems that the first time doesn’t load the “Custom CSS” typed in the Page Editor.

The page: http://www.grahamfifteen.com/millencapital/?page_id=234

I have a similar issu with the contact page. With the window NOT maximized (say, about 800-900 pixels more or less), when I click on the “Contact US” menu, it loads without left margin at all (the form is sticked to the left menu-bar). If I reload the page, it just gets displyed OK.

Any idea?

Thank you!

Did you turned OFF the Ajax load feature?

No I didn’t. Now I’ve tried it and it seems to be working OK now. What do I lose not using this Ajax load feature? Is it important? I wouldn’t like to lose any features of your theme :/

Regards

Hi,
You will not lose anything, but page loading can take a bit longer. Cheers!

Hi pirenko,

zartzart apparently my site is infected but google does not see it. according antivirus plugin would be on zartzart.fr I think it would be a malvaillant script, but I do not know where your script or the index page in the tree on the FTP to be able to control the code, can you guide me?

Hi,
The theme hasn’t got any infected files. You need to contact your hosting company about this. Cheers!

than you

You are welcome :grin:

I have some left menu bar issue. It does not functions as its display on the sample site http://www.pirenko.com/samba/

Please take a look http://otsripetch.com/

Thanks.

Hi,
It is cropped on bottom when that warning panel above shows. I don’t know if it coming from a plugin, but if you remove it the layout is ok.
Also if you are logged in the bottom section may be slightly shifted, but not to the regular visitor that is not seeing the admin bar.
Cheers!

I see what you meant, Thanks!

You are welcome ;)

Hi, - Since settings> reading I can not choose an homepage only a page, not a portfolio. A potfolio do not appear in the dropdown, it is possible to change this? - where is a video tutorials that cover this specific feature ? Thank you

Hi, here are my comments:
1 – like I told you this happens with all themes and you need to make manual changes to the theme file system. Google for “custom post type frontpage”
2 – open the documentation and look on the portfolio managment section
Thanks!

Hello,

I use the theme samba in my website : www.zartzart.fr. I have 4 questions :

1- How make a “SINGLE WIDE LAYOUT” in my homepage ? In the templates available on my homepage the “single wide layout” style does not exist, then there has any other. ( I want in my homepage one large picture and below the text, a photo, a list and writing excerpts from my latest work)

2- How to display the text written in each portfolio items ? For example I will wish that my last 3 content create a porfolio items appear homepage or in other page . I tried with a samba plugin but it only post with the items and not with the content written in the portfolio items , yet it is here that this is all my text content. this will also allow myself to create a news rubriqiue reprennant all contents of my portfolio items

3-I noticed that wordpress better manage the content when it is in a post , so is it possible to transform the content written in every portfolio items into articles ? For example plugins would work . It would be much simpler. I can not do it manually when I venture duplicate content and thus be penalized by google

4- How make a blackground color in one page ? For example : black in the homepage

Thank you

Hi,
There seems to be some confusion here: you don’t need to install any extra plugin to mimic any of the theme preview pages. Please send me a link of the preview that you want to create.
Cheers!

Hi , thank,

I managed thanks to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hBecwTKOrs

thank you

You are welcome :)

Hi Pirenko! There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer coming out now in September that have been made better suited for SEO and compatible with SEO Yoast plug in. I’ve noticed that the VC plug in that we use in the Samba theme is tweaked for the Samba theme.

Will you get your tweaked VC plug in updated as the original WPBakery VC plug in? :)

SEO is one of the most important aspects of building my website where I’m now using the Samba theme so this is greatly important to me!

Many thanks in advance!

Yeah okey! Cause their are plug ins for it which normally works but the plug in can’t find the videos that are added in Portfolio so think it has to be done in the theme! Would help ranking in Google much quicker and with better results so might be worth looking into for future updates :)

This is not on my plans really, but I will write a not about it. Thanks!

Okey thank you Pirenko :) I will post here if I find a solution :)

Hello! :) Is it possible to change the order of slides on the Samba Theme?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please check this small article I wrote about that http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2013/05/29/changing-custom-post-types-order/
Cheers ;)

Awesome! Thanks so much!! :D

You are welcome :nerdy:

Hello Pirenko

I can’t see the “SHEAR ON” buttons in mobile layout spacial in Portfolio pages. How I can make it work? or where I can found it when I browsing the site by Mobile?

Thnx in advance

Hi,
That is intended to be like that. There’s very few space available and I decided to hide them. Thanks :)

I got Your idea, and I hope in any future update if you be generous to add it like the home menu “One slide button”.. ;)

Hum… I’ll write a note about this. Thanks ;)

Hello,

I have a problem with the Search & Tags. My customer would like to be able to search the tags associated to their portfolio items, but it doesn’t work: No Results Found “SEARCHEDTAG”

It might be a problem because I don’t see the point having tags in the portfolio if they are not searchable.

Did I miss something ? Thanks

Hi,
Please send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze the content. Thanks :)

How can I update the theme?

Sorry I can’t find update section?

Thanks.. :)

Hi, I wanted to have a masonry of images on the homepage and I started to achieve this by creating portfolio items and then using the masonry portfolio page etc. Works well. Thanks. However, can I set it up so that any image on the masonry page can be linked to a lightbox gallery? Instead of going to an individual portfolio item? Or rather, when someone clicks on an image part of the masonry, it enlarges it as part of a gallery where they can navigate to the next one? (in a slider or a gallery). I hope I am making sense! How do I achieve that? Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Under this portfolio page you have some options. One of the is “Thumbnails open lightbox?” so just make sure that you activate it. Cheers :)

Thank you! : )
