Hello Saurabh,

Unfortunately, I can’t translate Volt Shortcodes plugin neither by Codestyling Localization nor by manual editing by Poedit and uploading to the wp-content/plugins/volt-shortcodes/languages.

I have sent you my WP credentials by email, could you please kindly to see the problem?

Regards, Kanybek

Hello Saurabh,

I translated Volt Shortcodes plugin into Russian via Poedit and uploaded it to the language directory with “volt-” prefix as you advised, but the admin part (widgets) still displays in English…

Could you please have a look it again? Your credentials remains the same (I sent you before to e-mail), URL: http://obzor.kg

I’d very appreciate your kind assistance!

Regards, Kanybek

I have already resolved it! Thank you.

No problem. :)

hello saurabh, i’ve install facebook comment and wanna hide the comment box default, how to do that? ... see this http://suarajakarta.co/jakarta-raya/berjalan-lamban-e-budgeting-dki-gagal/

Hello BroArdy,

1. Currently the images look correct on that particular post. If you can enable one such image on a test post, kindly send me the link.

2. FB sharing requires proper OG tags to be inserted in header. This is done automatically if you enable theme’s built in social sharing inside Theme Options. But since the built in sharing is disabled, it will be required to add OG tags separately. You can use this plugin, or enable built in FB sharing.

3. This can be done, but will require code change inside single.php file. Sidebars can be loaded within in_category(‘xx’) conditional check. Instead of hard coding, you can choose sidebar usage on blog pages as sidebar_a or sidebar_b. That will apply to all posts and archives.

Regards

1. solved 2. solved 3. see this bro saurabh >> http://themeforest.net/item/volt-magazine-editorial-wordpress-theme/1044745/comments?filter=all&site=themeforest.net&term=heyfajrul&utf8=%E2%9C%93

i was trying this way as well and didn’t work. can u help me bro?

Hello,

Kindly send me your header.php and single.php file at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. Also mention the category slug or numeric ID on which you want to hide sidebar B.

Hi Saurabh,

I have uploaded an updated Volt-theme files, and faced with two issues:

1) the button in Search Form displays incorrectly (please see http://kcherimt.bget.ru)

2) some additional text was added to Volt Options in WP admin panel (“sticky menu”, etc.) – how to merge this with the previous PO-file (Russian) automatically? Or only by manual adding?

Thanks in advance, Kanybek

Hello,

May be all your posts are filed in “uncategorized” category. And using -1 is skipping those posts. Can you confirm that the category ID of your main category is not 1.

Regards

Thank you very much, Saurabh!!! Awesome support!

No problem. :)

Hi.

Fantastic theme.

Just having a problem with my Blog Page feature images. I am using 200 * 200 because they sit nice for category pages using Blog Style list template.

However, on the Blog Page the featured image sites above the text and does not align left, leaving a heap of space to the right which is undesirable.

On first notice, the Blog Page seems to be doing it correctly (quick) and aligned left, but seems to get overwritten with post excerpts and image sitting above.

Can you advise what I need to change to have featured images float left.

I have tried all templates via settings and changed mulitple times via Blog Page, and all stay the same.

The default_2 template fails to work for me.

Can you help?

Anyone???

I tried to update to 3.0 but the theme upload failed because I’m missing the .css stylesheet. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello iwannabe,

It will be required to unzip the main download first. Next, look for the folder named ‘volt’. This is the actual installable theme which you can ZIP and upload to WordPress.

You can also download installable theme file only (from your downloads section) which can be directly uploaded to WordPress.

Kindly also check the documentation/index.html file inside your main download ZIP. It contains instructions on theme installation and configuration.

Regards

Thank you, superstar!!

You’re welcome. :)

Are there any issues with WP 4.0? I just updated it, and I can’t get the site to work…It says: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Hello Vladimir,

When https is used on site, there is some mixed content (both http and https). Any hard coded URLs in theme or content may require changing to https. Inside theme, there are no hard coded URLs (except flickr widget) for http, so I can confirm there is no issue from theme side. In order to fix mixed content issues, check this document.

I am located in UTC + 5:30 zone, India.

i just updated to woo commerce 2.2, and i get this: Your theme has bundled outdated copies of WooCommerce template files – if you encounter functionality issues on the frontend this could the reason. Ensure you update or remove them (in general we recommend only bundling the template files you actually need to customize). See the system report for full details.

Hello Vladimir,

Open volt/woocommerce/global/wrapper-start.php and change the version name 1.6.4 to 2.2. Do this for the wrapper-end.php file too. The notice is shown only because the version name in template overridden file is lower than the latest version. I will update this in main download too.

http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/themes/volt/wp/?author=1 I want to setup this profile page like that, can you show me the name of plugin you are using for this?

Profile page Author post

Thanks!

yes, I know, but I want to setup like the demo i sent you. Must I code for this page? or can i do it easier by plugin?

Ah i see, thanks

Hello hieutt,

I suppose you have got the page working. There is no extra markup added on that page. All Author archives are shown in that way by default. :)

Hi,

I have to tell I love your themes so much. They are just powerful and beautiful. Then, there are problems of mine. I would like to remove the space between the top bar and the logo, logo itself, its container and the main menu altogether. I just need the the top navigation. I would be happy if you help me.

Thanks.

Murat AYDIN

Hello Murat,

Thank you for kind words and feedback. Kindly add these rules inside user.css file:

.container {
    margin-top: 0;
}

.header,
#main-nav {
    display: none;
}

Next, clear browser cache and check the site.

Regards

Thank you for quick response. I could remove the space between but I still have the main menu under the top menu bar. I use UberMenu for navigation. Can this be the reason why I can’t remove it? What else can I do?

Second, I have WooCommerce cart button on the right of the top menu. But, its position is nearly on the right edge of the top bar. I would like to have it justified with the right sidebar. Thank you for help.

Regards,

Murat

Hello Murat,

Kindly send me your site URL. I will suggest proper CSS selectors.

Hello Saurabh: I am having trouble installing the Volt theme because an error says irt does not have de style.css file. I know it has it, but any idea why this is happening??

Hello taracenar,

Thank you for purchasing the theme. It will be required to unzip the main download first. Next, look for the folder named ‘volt’. This is the actual installable theme which you can ZIP and upload to WordPress.

Kindly also check out the documentation/index.html file inside your main download zip. It contains instructions on theme installation and setup.

Regards

Saurabh. How are u? I need to make my site responsive and wonder if you could let me know what kind os files should i use to make it happen? I will then make it larger for desktops and laptops leaving the responsiveness working on other devices sd per your file. Can you help us? Thanks in advanced. Ps: I have already downloaded the latest version of your theme.

Nice Mate. thanks. I wrote it because I was afraid of losing good stuff that was put into the pages. I know I might lose the modifications in css files but I won´t lose the standard codes added into the pages like sliders, columns; categories codes etc. Right?

Cheers

Hello Gustavo,

Content will not be affected with latest update. If you had any custom CSS styles, you can keep a backup of those files and place back the CSS styles in latest theme. This time either use the child theme or place styles in user.css file so that those can be kept separate during updates.

Regards

Thank You! Saurabh. All the best!

Hi, I would like the category listing without heading big featured image – l want the first post with small featured picture like second and next posts. I have little images from my client and large featured pictures are pixelized.

Thanks in advance, Maya

Thank you :)

And thank you for your work – great theme :)

You’re welcome. :)

Hi again!

One quick question: At HomePage, is there any way to make the whole excerpt clickable? Right now thumb & post title are links to the whole post but i was wondering how to make the excerpt clickable, too

Thanks in advance

Hello thecrypt13,

Excerpt can be wrapped in an anchor tag inside volt/includes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, mentioned which sections you want to be linked. I will send the fix.

Regards

How can I get the logo img to not scale down? I cannot find an option to have it not scale.:crying: I want it the dimensions that I made it as the original image.

Hello cliffpiper,

Logo and header widget area are divided in 20% and 80% width respectively. This can be changed by adding the following rules in user.css file:

.brand {
    max-width: 20%; /* Change to 40% */
}

.header_widget_area {
    max-width: 80%; /* Change to 60% */
}

Change 20% and 80% to 40% and 60%, or according to the desired width. That will prevent logo from scaling down.

Regards

Awesome. Thanks for that snippet. I also have one more question. I’m not sure if you support this or not, but I am trying to use bbpress for a forum. The issue is this… I do not want to use the sidebars A & B on the forum pages. Instead, I’m trying to make the page full width by making a new php file and naming it bbpress.php with the code for the full width file in it. Then I am using bbpress WP Tweaks plugin to make a forum specific sidebar. Problem is… It’s not showing up on the forum page at all… I’m thinking it might have something to do with the coding for the full width page from the theme. If not, please guide me in the right direction. The site url I’m talking about is schoolofswords.com/community . I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance.

Hello cliffpiper,

Currently the sidebar is showing correctly on your forum page. Kindly let me know if you have already fixed the issue. Your approach of creating bbpress.php for a full width page is correct.

Currently the content area div has class name as content_medium. If you want no sidebar, open bbpress.php and change the class name of content div to content_full. That will make it a full width page with no sidebar. You can take code reference from the volt/page-full.php file.

Regards

Hi Saurabh With the June 2104 updated Volt them, the text on my website pages is now very small. Anything I try to fix the font size also ends up stretching the whole design. Is there an easy to way to make the font text normal size again? My apologies for asking as I am sure there is a real easy fix and I am just doing something silly :) Paul

Hello Paul,

Yes you can send me the site URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it.

Regards

After the email exchange – all sorted. Once again Saurabh – you are a star! Wonderful support with this theme!

You’re welcome, Paul. :)

Regards

Hello SaurabhSharma,

Thank you for such a cool theme!

One question: I can’t crop images in the home page slider. I edited image size field and checked “crop images” in Volt Options / Images size, but nothing changed…

Hello kcherikov,

Thanks for the purchase and kind feedback. After changing settings, it will be required to regenerate thumbnails as described on top of the “Image Sizes” section.

Please also note that images will resize only if the source image is bigger than the specified dimension. i.e. use featured images of bigger size so that they can be down scaled.

Regards

Thank you! It works!

What a great template!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!! On a post i have author information mentioned, This themes have custom templates you can use for certain posts that might have additional features or custom layouts. When i select for example Page-rightsidebar-A i dont see the author information anymore.

Is it possible to also add author information on Page-rightsidebar-A template?

Hello stanleyb23,

Thank you for kind words and feedback. Page templates are only for pages. They can not be applied on posts. In order to choose sidebar alignment for posts, use the global sidebar settings inside Appearance > Volt Options > General.

If the Author box still do not appear, kindly send me the URL of that particular page. I will check it.

Regards

Hi !

I would like to show the post time along with the other meta

I tried tochange the functions.php but didin’t make it. Can you please help?

This is the code from the functions.php
printf( __( '<span class="sep">HM/NIA: </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>
   <span class="sep"> | </span> ', 'volt' ),
        esc_url( get_permalink() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() ),
        esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'volt' ), get_the_author() ) ),
        get_the_author(),
        get_the_category_list( ', ' )

What should i add?

Thanks in advance

Hello Manolis,

Change the first line to:

printf( __( '<span class="sep">HM/NIA: </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time> at %2$s</a>
   <span class="sep"> | </span> ', 'volt' ),

The changed part is “at %2$s” just before the closing a tag. The %2$s will reference the post time and will print it.

Regards

Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work!

i want to know if i can insert image at the background

Hello ralphkobby,

Yes background image or background color can be shown using WordPress background option. The theme supports custom backgrounds.

Regards

Hello! After installing the Volt Theme i can´t find “Volt options” in my Wordpress admin area.

Hello culli86,

Volt Options are located inside Appearance > Volt Options. If this doesn’t appear, make sure you are logged in with the admin account in your WordPress. If it still doesn’t work, kindly send me your login and URL at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check it.
