How do I get the menu customized like in the theme.

Right now they are just static links.

Perfect.

Now how do I select the type of menu that I need for each category?

Hi
Can you give me some screenshot about what you need? So I can give you a quick solution. Our email is bkninja.team@gmail.com
Thanks

Hi Bkninja, I have sent you an email with a screenshot but I still haven’t gotten an answer. Do you confirm reception of the email.

I was just wondering how I can try different layouts of menus.

Is there a way to disable Storm’s default header menu altogether?

I am using a plugin for the main menu, and it is able to cover up the default Storm menu when the site is at full width. (Screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2473225/working.jpg)

When the window is resized smaller, though, Storm alters the default header menu and pushes the plugin menu down. (Screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2473225/not%20working.jpg)

Is there a way to hide or disable the Storm menu altogether, or to prevent this from happening? I know disabling responsive mode would solve it, but Storm’s responsive design is otherwise so great.

Hi,
Can you send your images to our email? I can’t see your images via your links.
Thanks

Hi! first of all congrats for this amazing theme. It worked great in general but I’m experimenting an issue in the last 2 weeks… When I post a link on FB, no preview image is showed.

This is the site: www.daportasantanna.it

And this is an example of what happen: https://www.facebook.com/daportasantanna/posts/739616836118690

Can you help me? Thanks!

Thank you for purchasing the theme

Hi BK,

I have emailed the team but haven’t seen a response I would like to do a child theme, amongst a few other request such as enabling page caching. (details in the email) rssordillo@gmail.com

Hi,
Sorry for late reply, there is an issue with the international internet cable in my country at this time, so I will send you some files to create a child-theme when everything better.

Is there a way to change the site width without hurting the responsive design? Specifically, to make it smaller?

Hi, the theme width is fixed and can’t be changed. Thanks,

Hello again, we have a few more questions if you don’t mind. Our page is www.brenlife.org if you’d like to view it.

1- Can we make the page static? When we decrease the size of our browser, or view our page on a mobile device, it changes the layout too much (i.e. taking the main menu away and changing it to a dropdown list, rearranging our posts on the home page, etc.). We’d rather the page keep it’s exact layout no matter what size it’s out. Even if that would require the reader to have to use the horizontal reader/slider at the bottom of their browser.

2- We made a top menu that we’d like to decrease the width of. Is there a way to change the size dimensions of the top menu?

3- Sometimes our website appears to be ALL in bold (even the twitter widget… any and all test is bolded). We saw it happen using Internet Explorer on a PC, but there have been other instances using other combinations of browsers in PC or Mac. Why does this happen and can we fix it?

4- Header space: can we decrease the space where the header goes? Specifically, we want to adjust the width of it.

5- We asked you before about removing related videos at the end of our embedded youtube videos. Have you found a way to fix this? The code you gave us didn’t work. We sent you the log-in info for you to take a look, but haven’t heard from you since.

6- Not a question, but a request. It’d be great to have an instagram widget. Please let me know if this is something you’re going to pursue developing in the future.

Thank you in advance for your help. We are very appreciative.

Thank you for your response.

1- This fixed it. However, the reason we disabled response layout was because when viewed on a mobile device, our main menu disappears (though you’re able to access it through a dropdown) and the top menu does NOT shrink and overwhelms the screen. It just ruins the layout of our site (which is important to us). Now that I’ve explained it a bit better, do you have advice to help with this? Is there a way to not show the top menu when seen on a smaller screen, such as an iphone? Like disable it?

2- In the meantime though, yes we would very much appreciate some custom CSS from you to make the top menu a smaller font.

And thank you for helping us with the other issues, especially the videos. I understand now how it works.

*We are suddenly having a major issue with our site page AND the Dashboard (editing) page. They are taking ages to load and even when they’ve stopped loading, are all disfigured. I’m currently in my Dashboard and it takes approximately 4 min. for it to respond to anything I do in there. It’s not an issue with my internet connection as other sites are working normal. Can you help me figure out why this is happening?? Please check our site www.brenlife.org (and if you need to go in to it, you should still have our log-in that I sent to you a couple weeks ago via email). Thank you! We are hoping to unveil our new site tomorrow and cannot do so if it is in this form.

Prepurchase question: Regarding the header ad, will adsense ad be responsive? Meaning 728×90 when viewed on desktop and 300×300 when viewed on iPhone?

Hi, the responsive feature of AdSense is supported by Google and it should work regardless of theme. Thanks,

Hi, i’ve an encoding problem with your theme. When i write an article and save to db, special characters aren’t saved correctly, while with any other theme they are correctly written into the db. I use utf8 as db charset and i’ve specified charset and collation in wp-config. Same problem with Wp 3.9 and Wp 4.0. Thanks for your support. Giuseppe

Hi, i’m waiting for news…. i’ve sended you two emails in these days without any reply. Please reply Thanks Giuseppe

Hi bkninja! Great theme, but I have problem with masonry widget. I need this widget to full width, and when I set this I have problem with sorting post by date- example in screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Cpz2nKN.jpg What can I change in module_masonry.php?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing the theme
I’ve had a look your page, I see the post sorting on your page works fine. You can see it displays from the latest post ( WRZESIE? 9, 2014 -> WRZESIE? 1, 2014 ).

Load more posts, and look on previously posts published at lipiec (july).

Hi,
It’s correct. There are 3 columns masonry post. Masonry will find the shortest column and place the next post into it. Example, the post ” ”#FRIENDSIE TIME !!” is place at center column because this is the shortest columns, and the next post is “RECENZJA LIPCOWEGO PUDE?ECZKA …” will be placed in the left side. You can inspect element to see the order of the posts.
If you still not clear, please leave your email here and I will send you some screenshots that explain more clearly for you.
Regards

Hi Love the design and everything but our problem is that the settings are completely blank with nothing in them and when we try to add widgets nothing happens. On top of that it is ignoring any color changes I make in the customize section under appearance.

I just realized that the problem might stem from not supporting WP 4.0 yet. Not sure if that is the case but it seems the most obvious cause

Hi,
Can you describe more clearly about your issue? If possible, please also send us your admin access. We will take a look.
Regards

Hi I have three questions:

1. How do I change the Youtube profile URL from “user” to “channel” so I can input my Youtube Channel rather than my user. Ideally if you can locate me to the php I will just change user to channel.

2. I keep getting random dates for the BK Widgets tab when I click on the comments tab, is there a fix for this? (to exolain the issue further everyone´’s comments are shown as being written on the same date, which is a totally random date. This is incorrect!)

3. Is there a way I can Cache the script for BK Module Grid until the new squares are loaded as I have an issue where the main middle square is loaded first and the rest take some time to load. (also welcome a suggestion to perhaps move the loading scripts further up as i want to prioritize loading times above the fold.)

Thanks!

I now have another problem I would like to edit the theme with a child theme to prevent changes being over-writting on latest versions and I keep receiving an error “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.”

Please could you suggest a fix?

I need modify something do have the childtheme, please give me your ftp access, I will create it for you

Hi!

I administrate a Wordpress blog and we are about to migrate to your theme. I have some questions.

Is it possible to show latests posts except the featured ones in a section? So featured posts go in another section and don’t appear twice on the front page.

Also, is there any way to maintain the aspect ratio of the featured images in the Masonry module, the grid module and the image inside the post?

Is there any possibility to get rid of the slider in the grid module?

Thanks! Your theme is awesome!

Hi,
Thank you for your interest.
1) Yes, but it’s required to make a simple custom work. We will do it for you once you buy the theme.
2) I’m quite not understand what you mean. Now, the theme automatically generates thumbnails for all of modules. Can you explain more clearly about the ratio of the feature images in the Masonry module, the grid module and the image inside the post.
3) You mean that you want to display just 5 posts in the grid module. Yes, there is a option to set the number of posts will be display on the front page. You just need to set it to 5, and the slider will be disapeared.
Regards

Hello! Thank you for Storm theme. First of all – i translated it into russian, if anyone interested in it. Second. Found some issues: 1. In section “Module Masonry” we can use option Load more! In first time – it translated into my language, after first click – it is back in english. And “No more posts” too.

2. When we use Hypercomments plugin, this plugin, or Storm maybe, adds to exercept zone string “Comment system powered by hypercomments” on all posts on the main.

3. If we create mainpage with name “Main”, site adds word “Main” into meta of site.

4. Share button can not be translated/

Sorry for my incompetency if i wrote something stupid. Sorry for my english.

Hi,
1) Could you please let me know which version you are using? Can you give me your site address? Our email is: bkninja.team@gmail.com
2) Can you give me a screenshot? Sorry but I’m not quite understand your issue?
3) Maybe the issue comes from one of your plugin, please disable all and try again
4) Share button is using social icon from font awesome. So it can’t be translated.
Regards

Hi. This is a great theme and I love the clean look.

1) I wanted to download the new version of the theme and install it without losing all my settings that took a long time for me to set up. However when i logged into the Wordpress dashboard there is no option to automatically upgrade the theme. I downloaded the Envato theme plugin, upgraded the the theme and LOST all my settings. Will a future update be compatible with the Wordpress upgrade feature? Is there another way to upgrade the them without losing my settings?

2) Also, I’ve seen there are Facebook share buttons, but I’d like to add a Facebook Like button. Can you add this to a future update and is there a plugin you recommend?

Apart from that it’s great!

Thank you!

Thank you for your compliment. At this time there’s no automatic update feature but there’s a way you can update the theme without losing your settings.
First, please download the update from ThemeForest. Switch to another theme, example: TwentyFourteen. Make sure after switching theme, you don’t go into Appearances -> Widgets or Menus page cause this will cause the database to be overwritten. Then delete the old Storm theme folder on your host. After that install the new version of Storm theme by using .zip file or upload it to your host. Finally switch back to Storm theme and your settings should be remained.
Thanks,

Hello! So far, I’ve been very impressed with how fast and efficient you are with responding to customer requests. Thank you!

Here I am with another question.

I want to include videos in my post in which someone will open the post, and be able to play the video right there (without needing to go to a link and be transported to youtube or vimeo). I tried using youtube, but didn’t like the “related videos” they had featured at the end. I read this article (http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/) for help on to get rid of it by using shortcode to embed the video into the post and then including some extra code (&rel=0), but it didn’t work. The shortcode didn’t link to a video, it just appeared at the bottom of my page. When I don’t use shortcode and just copy the http address of the video, it DOES show up, but I’m still not happy with having the related videos at the end. Why is the shortcode not working?

This is my shortcode: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cezCcMGfeQ&rel=0]

Then I tried using vimeo instead since they don’t have the related videos. However, I copied the http address into the post, and that did not show the video. You can see it here: http://www.brenlife.org/kyle-meng/ (go to bottom of post)

I marked the post as “video” format when I created it, fyi.

I just want to be able to post a video into my post and have it appear directly as a video, not a link, AND not have related videos appear. I’m fine with either using vimeo or youtube.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, sorry for late response and thank you for your compliment!
To have no related videos appear please open file single.php and go to line 105 or search for this line:

echo ('<iframe width="1050" height="591" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$yt_id.'?feature=oembed"></iframe>');

Replace it with :
echo ('<iframe width="1050" height="591" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$yt_id.'?feature=oembed;rel=0"></iframe>');
. To create a post with video format, just paste the full Youtube link to BK Post Format field and set post format as Video and you’re done.
If you still have problem with this, plz contact me again. Regards,

Okay, I did what you said to do… and still not working. I still have the related videos at the end. How can we fix this? Is there another solution?

Hi, please send me login information and I will take a look. Thanks,

Hi! Great theme. I’ve a silly problem while trying to use the module row widget. The posts seems not to fit correctly the assigned space: http://i.imgur.com/8Znj9uv.jpg The widget is in the Home Content Section, and I have change nothing in the development. This occurs in Chrome for Mac Os X, retina screen. Any idea? Thanks!!

Hi, sorry for late response and thank you for your compliment. The module row can only be placed in full-width section, to archive your desire layout, please use module post four with style 2 instead. Sorry for this confusing.
Regards,

Thank you! big d’oh!

Hi, I wonder if there is any way to resize the images automatically? I still have a few large and smaller ):

Hi
Please install regenerate thumbnail plugin and run it. Then all of your thumbnail will be display properly.
Regards

Hi,

if I may request, could you include like buttons with counts as well? right now the theme only has share buttons.

Hi,
Thanks, We will consider, if this function doesn’t take a lot time, We will update it.
Regards

Two questions:

1. I’ve created a child theme to make a few changes. (I realize there’s a Custom CSS box in the Theme Settings, but it’s unwieldy beyond one or two lines of code.)

My alterations, when put in that Custom CSS box in the Theme Settings, work fine. When I put them in the style.css file I created with my child theme, only some of them work—e.g., the search feature in the header goes away—but most do not—e.g., custom colors in the footer remain the theme default. Any idea what the problem might be?

2. Is there a way to disable the sub-footer (Copyright Text) bar?

I appreciate your help!

Hi,
1) I’m not sure, please make sure you have put your css code correctly. You can give me your code with your purpose, I will check it again. Our email is bkninja.team@gmail.com
2) Please paste this snippet code to CSS custom field of Theme Options (Theme Option -> Custom CSS/JS)
.footer-lower {
   display: none;
}
Regards
