Another couple of questions for you Pirenko;

1. When I create pages and use the “Page – With Sections” template and use the “FlexSlider” option, the title of the page comes above the flexslider and it doesn’t look so good, is it possible to switch place somehow?

I know you can hide the title and then add it manually below but when I use the “Styled Title” I don’t get the

tag for the title and if I do a

in the “Text Block” I loose the colored underline which looks quite neat.

How would you go about this issue? :)

2. On the team members pages the URLs are “domain.com/member/john-doe”, is it possible to remove the “member” part so you just have the “domain.com/john-doe”? :)

Thanks!

Hi, if you use the h1 inside a text block you can add some inline CSS to style it. Do some “Googling” about CSS if needed. Cheers!

I really like the styling you have though! Is it possible to find it somewhere in the CSS and than add it as inline in the “Text Block”? :)

Thanks!!

Hi,
In the middle of a text block probably it is not that easy. Anyway, if you want send me a link to your page and explain exactly what you want to do. Cheers!

Hello! Beautiful work. You can edit the content of togles and tabs placing images, links, media?

Hi, yes, sure. Thanks ;)

Hi Pirenko!

I have some pages that I don’t want to have in my main menu but still give them a featured color, how do I do this? :)

Thanks in advance!

Okey Pirenko thanks!! What is the code I should add though? O:)

Try adding this class: hide_now
Cheers!

Thanks mate, worked perfectly!

Hi Pirenko,

I can’t seem to get either tabs or a tour section to work. Same problem as someone posted previously – if you add tabs in VC, they do not show once you switch to view the page. I’ve tried turning off all non-essential plugins as suggested, the only ones i’m left with are: - Post Thumbnail Editor - Simple Image Sizes - WP Revisions Control along with samba plugins: - Samba Framework - WPBakery Visual Composer (Samba).

I wouldn’t have thought any of the above should cause a problem and I’m really not keen to lose these few remaining plugins – I use them all the time.

The id’s created for the new tabs do not match the number formatting of the initial two that are created when you insert the tour/tab element. I tried editing the id’s via the shortcode backend to match the first part of the id’s then append with a unique number, but this didn’t work either. It appears the tabs I add in VC are in the html, however, display is set to ‘none’.

If it is quicker, perhaps you could provide me with a short-term solution: - is there a way to differentiate formatting of the H3 or A element in a toggle/accordion when it is expanded? Eg when the accordion expands, the shading of the heading of the expanded tab changes.

Thanks.

Hi, if you are already using the latest theme version please send me a private message witht the WP login details so that I can check this. Thanks!

Hello,

I am coming back with the issue of image resizing I mentioned on September.

Let me describe the problem again, I upload an image in exactly the dimensions I want (1600×650) in order to use it in the slider at the top of a portfolio page and I set it as a featured image. When I first upload the image everything is fine but after a few days, hours, minutes (it is never the same) the theme resizes the image in 1920×1200 size. Bare in mind that it only resizes the first image, the one I set as featured.

Please have a look here Example, you will see the first image of the slider is resized to 1920×1200 and all the others have the size that I uploaded and want (1600×650).

I tried the vt_resize.php script you sent me but there was no change, the resizing happened again.

Could you please give me a solution because I have to manually update all the images every time and my customer is starting to get anxious!

Thank you!

Hi,
I opened the link you sent and I noticed that the image with 1920×1200 was created on May of 2014. This means that it was created before the adjustment that we made. I suggest that you erase these images with custom sizes or re-upload new images (with different names) to avoid the images from being enlarged.
Cheers!

Anyone looking to buy this theme for an online portfolio cant go wrong. It has a great design and layout that focuses on the work itself, and not an overpowering or complex website. Best of all, the theme support is great, as you can see from the comments, Pirenko is always answering questions and doesnt have a constant ‘thats customization so pay me’ attitude. Wont you dont see is his willingness to help through private messages. For those who do have specific custom needs, Pirenko gives great prices and amazingly fast turnaround time. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your kind words! You just made my day :bashfulcute:

Hello,

I might want to buy this theme but would like to know first if its possible to have in the homepage the slider like you have in Astro theme, those with columns/slider. Really prefer that homepage than Samba homepage

Thanks

Hi, I will have it 72h after validating your purchase. Send me a private message if you decide to buy the theme. Thanks :)

Done, looking forward to hear about this update.

Ok, thanks! Send me a private message so that I can let you know when it is ready. Cheers :)

Hi Pirenko

Have two queries;

1. On the mobile version of http://witsvibe.co.za/deals/, when a portfolio category (added as ‘skills’) is selected in the category menu bar, the highlighted text disappears. It works fine when the “All” category is highlighted by default but when a different category is selected, it seems to not work afterwards. It also works perfectly on desktop.

2. I have a page that displays all posts (serves as a news page). Have tried to put a sidebar on the page to display social links by selecting “show sidebar” in the blog template custom display options. I have also added the relevant widget into the sidebar but it does not seem to be working.

Could you please help with this?

Thanks so much.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please send me a private message with a link so that I can analyze both things. Thanks :)

Hi there, the visual editor keeps hanging when I try to add a block. See this video: http://youtu.be/j_ifliXIewk?hd=1

Any idea why this is happening? I’ve the ajax thing turned off and I’ve only your recommended plugins installed. Thanks

Ok thanks. I disabled Askimet which is a standard plugin that comes with Wordpress and it seems to be working now. However, I will need Askimet to prevent spam coming through. Are you aware of a conflict with Askimet? I can send you login details if you want.

Hi,
I also have it working with Akismet so the problem should not be related with it (as long as you have everything updated).
Anyway you can send me the WP login details for a quick check.
Thanks :nerdy:

Thank you. I just sent you a PM with the login details.

Hi, i have two questions: 1. how can i place a full width Image Gallery? i should mention that i have changed Row Settings to full width but nothing happened. 2. what is the name of homepage full slider element in theme preview?

Hi,
If you have any plugins active please turn them OFF and try again. If the problem subsists please send me a private message with a link.
Cheers :)

problem solved :) last question: i have changed the body font it looks great but the size is a bit small and i was wondering how can i change the size of body font?

Hi,
You can add some custom CSS to the theme options:
body {font-size:15px;}
Cheers!

hi, i realy like the theme, but i miss two things:

1. Statistical Addin for Prozentual Circles 2. Process Steps to explain how a company works.

do you know a plugin for that or a webkit?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! I don’t know any specific plugin for those, but maybe some simple tabs may do the trick on number 2.
Cheers :)

Hi Pirenko, is it posible to hide the spaces only on mobile phone view?

Thanks.

Hi,
Yes it is. Simply add the class “hide_later” (hides in screens with less that 768px of width) or the class “hide_much_later” (hides in screens with less that 400px of width).
Cheers :)

Hi, thanks a lot!! I have another question, I hope you can help with this, too. :)

I have a portfolio page with comments enabled and I would like to know if there is an option of approving or not a comment instead of publishing it automatically (that’s what’s happening right now). Also, is it posible to know when someone have sent a comment in a portfolio single page with an e-mail on my inbox?

Thanks!

Hi, that has to do with WordPress configs. Go to Settings to change that. Cheers ;)

Hello Pirenko – I’m sorry to bother you but, I’m suddenly having a couple weird issues with my site and I can’t find how to fix them.

1) On my FAQ page, the VC Accordion Slider no longer displays a color, it looks “clear” instead of “red,” which is how it used to appear. I’m not sure when/what changed. But I need it changed back, it’s impossible to read. brhorrorstory.com/learn-more-faq/

2) On my Home page, the contact info in the menu widget no longer corresponds with that page’s specified color – but only on the Home Page, it shows up correctly on all other pages.

Thanks in advance for your help.

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

Hi Pirenko, I wonder that you have HTML version of Samba. If you have, i will buy and use it as HTML.

Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately I don’t really have those files. Anyway, if you buy the theme and add some content using Wordpress, you can save the generated HTML pages one by one with your browser. You can do all this on your own computer using MAMP for example. If you have some sort of trouble make sure that all the necessary files are placed correctly.
Thanks :)

Hi There.

Having a major issue with what seems to be the samba framework plugin. My homepage and my blog have all of a sudden stopped displaying. See here: http://witsvibe.co.za/ & http://witsvibe.co.za/news/

but other pages are fine see here: http://witsvibe.co.za/deals/

I have updated the theme, all the plugins including the 3 recommended plugins needed for your theme. I’ve also updated to wordpress 4.

When I disable the samba framework plugin, the homepage displays but obviously doesn’t work properly. Please can you let me know what might be happening here?

Thanks,

Hi,
Please turn off all the other plugins and try again. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with the WP login details.
Cheers!

I deactivated every plugin and made a minor change to the homepage. Then one by one started activating each plugin and refreshing the homepage as I went along and it worked. Thanks so much.

You are welcome ;)

Hi,

Pre-sale question.

Would it possible to add guttering to the masonry blog layout without compromising on the responsiveness?

Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, with some custom CSS. Let me know if you buy the theme and need help with it.
Cheers :)

Hi thanks for the rapid response!

Just purchased :)

Thanks! Do send me a private message if you need help. Cheers :nerdy:

Hi, I have a strange problem. Slider on the home page is broken but when I log in and reload page everything is ok. I am sending you admin account data by privage message. Please look into this problem. Thanks.

Sorry, I re-checked it and you are right. Nevertheless, I turned off all the other plugins that you were using and it is fine. So the problem is related with one of them.
Cheers!

Thanks, as it turned the problem was in one of Visual Composer addons. I updated it and now everything is ok.

Ok, thank you for your feedback :)

GREAT looking theme! I’m working on a site for a radio station, and looking for a different theme. I’d like to know if I could set a background image in the vertical menu bar. Is that possible?

Something like what you see on this page:? http://985newmixfm.org/

Hi, that is not a theme option, but I can help you with some CSS or even add that option. Let me know if you buy the theme. Cheers :)

Hi Pirenko

About “The Images Carousel ” : Is it auto-rotate like the “Theme slider” every specific time, or just when you manual slide it?

I want to use it for my clients logos, and I wish if it rotate by it self if that possible.

Thnx in advance

Hi,
If you want that specific element to autoplay you need to edit the main.js file. Search for “carouFredSel”.
Cheers!

It’s done,, I like how you can make it easy :) Regards
