Great job, must be in html :-p

Thank you Patrick! :superbashfulcute: We have exclusivity for Wordpress :D

Great as always! Very creative & unique. I think you are my favorite author :) Keep up the AWESOME work!

Thank you guys – that means a lot :superbashfulcute: Cheers

Wonderlicious work as always, good luck :)
Kind Regards,
Bedros

Thank you Bedros! :superbashfulcute:

i’m impressed

Unfortunately not – you can have more images at the top and show them in a slider – here is a project with a slider on top. Regards

I’m Looking for solution of visual hierarchy , static and parrallax items. Maybe some paralax items can’t be interactive?

You can use the Editor block module and insert a Gallery Slideshow to make it interactive.

Awesome Minimal Design Work! :)

Thank you VBN! :superbashfulcute:

wow! great theme!! In the portfolio single pages.. can I use your beautiful given lightbox for the images? If yes.. I will buy this theme! great work!

Please note that http://pixelgrade.com/demos/pile/beach/127/ is a blog post and not a project. But the lightbox images are just a 2 column gallery that you can add on projects too. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach us through our HelpDesk.

that was my question if this possible in the projects page too.. thank you

Sure – you just add an Editor module and set it wider. Then insert the gallery inside.

Brilliant theme. Parallax effect looks fantastic :)

Yeah – we really spend a big amount of time to make sure we’re getting the right smoothness for this theme – and I think we get it right! Thank you for the appreciation :D

Oh wowwww this is superb :-)

Going to purchase for my own portfolio me thinks. Couple of questions/suggestions

  1. Down arrow would be nice on full screen hero/header to let people know that there is content below (or a mouse icon)
  2. Does the theme come with built in icons such as font-awesome?
  3. Blog posts could do with a next/previous set of buttons as navigation is not present
  4. How much control is there over titles and subtitles on the full screen hero sliders? (eg inputs for HTML to be added, also is there a way of adding say an image as an overlay over the slider image?) – like this
    http://pixelgrade.com/demos/pile/portfolio/vest-art-studio/ but instead of embedding the image in the image as an overlay ontop
  5. Can in post images have a lightbox?
  6. Can the lightbox images have captions underneath?
  7. Does it come with full XML Dummy data (as seen on your demo)

Hey Rich and thanks for your interest,

  1. Yeah – that might be a great addition – I will take it into consideration for a future update.
  2. We have included icons from Font Awesome and Entypo – bundled in our PixCodes shortcodes plugin.
  3. We will take that into consideration too.
  4. The title is the Project Title, while the subtitle is the category. We decided to keep things as simple as possible, still very flexible. Unfortunately for the overlay option you might need some custom code.
  5. Please let us know more about the lightbox – how do you imagine this would work – you set a link for each image to open in a popup? What about the images that you don’t want to have the lightbox? I would like to hear more, because this is clearly on our roadmap.
  6. Sure -wWe provide even more – a One Click Demo Install – so you just press it and you have the dummy data. You can check out an installation video here: http://bit.ly/pile-installation-demo-data

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
George

Hi George :-)

Re point 5 and lightboxes, I assume you are either using prettyphoto or something similar? I envisage images on the page having a rollover effect that shows the caption say in the center, then on-click the screen goes white and the image shows fullscreen with X button, left and right arrows and images caption at the bottom…

A few examples of this working nicely (large images)

Hey Rich and thank you for clarifying – I have a better understanding now and we will think of a system. I will keep you posted :)

great theme gud luck :)

Thank you guys :superbashfulcute: – I’m glad you like it.

Smooth, stunning works as always!
Good luck with the sales :)

Thank you saputrad :superbashfulcute: – I’m glad you like it.

Hello, GabrielT. I’m just a volunteer and try to help you here.

I don’t know they have added an option for changing it. But you can change slug name when it’s registering.

And If you need to remove post type slug entirely, you can use additional php method like THIS (random internet tip).

Thanks

Thank you fellow – really appreciate it :)!

Though we have an option to change the slug URL, in order to remove it, these kind of small hacks needs to be involved.

Cheers,
George

Congratulation. GLWS!

Thank you :superbashfulcute:

Nice work, GLWS! :)

Thank you :superbashfulcute: – I’m glad you like it.

Hi,

Noticed there are different colors for the frontpage portfolio items, can they be different and be selected by us?

Will the same feature work for the blog (journal) posts?

Thanks,

Hey and thanks for your interest,

There is an accent color (suggested in the first place – but you can manually select it) for each project. That color is used for hover effect and transitions and it’s only available for projects (at least for now).

Here is a video regarding VIDEO ? Custom Project Builder where you can find more about the system behind.

I hope it helps,
George

Congratulation. GLWS! :-)

Thank you :superbashfulcute: – I’m glad you like it.

Thank you bro :sunglasses2:

One of the best concepts I’ve seen so far. Good job mate :)

Hey Semih and thank you for being one of our first clients :D

I’m glad you like PILE and we will do our best to keep it that way. For any questions do not hesitate to reach us through our HelpDesk

All the best, George

Oh sort I forgot hat one: Is it possible to put some text in the footer for SEo reasons?

Yeah, sure! The Footer Area is fully widgetized so you can use any regular text widgets. We also have a Copyright Text area as seen on this Theme Options ? Footer screenshot.

Brilliant theme!! just one question: Do you provide the xml of the demo?

Cheers Alexis

Hey Alexis!

We provide even more – a One Click Demo Install – so you just press it and you have the dummy data. You can check out an installation video here: http://bit.ly/pile-installation-demo-data

*Note that the images from the demo are replaced with placeholder images.

I hope it helps.

Cheers,
George

Hello!

I just bought your theme and it’s pretty cool! However, I encounter a worry at the links. Indeed, when I create a project, the URL is “www.sitename.com/pile_portfolio/projectname/”

I would like to remove the “pile_portfolio”. Can you help me?

Thank you in advance!

Gabriel

Hey Gabriel and thank you for being our client,

We have an option to change the slug URL of portfolio projects from Settings ? PixTypes ? New Single Item Slug. Unfortunately – by default WordPress needs a way to recognize that page it is a “project” – so unless you’re using some small hacks as @themeton suggested, you cannot entirely remove that.

Anyway, in order to offer a better support and keep track of the issues, for any questions, please use our HelpDesk.

All the best, George
