Hi,

Just one question is it possible to reduce box content in posts? This > https://hostr.co/5r5dkIUEeJ80

Best regards

Hi RealWondah,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

I’m afraid that isn’t possible without heavy code customization, as the theme was designed to work/look that way, and for the title to be overlapping properly like it does, required specific HTML output, CSS code and Javascript code, and to change it would require you to change all of that.

Cubell

Ok its a pity i dont know why you choose this stairs form but why not ^^

It was a design choice, I really like it and it was different to anything out there at the time of development :)

Hey,

Great looking theme – definitely considering purchasing. I have a few questions though.

Firstly, is it possible to change the info that overlays each image on the home page e.g. author, views etc. I want it to display the number of ‘shares’ that have been made via Facebook. How would this be done, if so?

Also – is it possible for the number of comments displayed to show those made on the website AND through the Facebook plugin?

Finally – is it possible to shorten the gap between section headers and the info? E.g. you’ve got ‘Recent Posts’ and then there’s a big white space. Ideally like to get rid of that so it matches the alignment of the left column.

Thanks

Oh and also – is the ‘Like’ button at the end of each post actually just a share button? If so, would ideally like to change that to say share too. Thanks.

Hey Gubbins123,

Thanks for the kind words and interest in Valenti :)

1- No, the “by line” has options to enable/disable each item inside it (author/date/category/comments/visits), but to add new things, you would need to customize the code.

2- I don’t think so, as Facebook comment stats are on Facebook servers, and I don’t think there is an easy way to access it. If you use Disqus comment system, then the comment numbers will get the data from Disqus servers (Disqus allows developers to add this functionality).

3- Can you share the exact URL of where you mean? But it sounds like it’s just a simple line of CSS code, and you can add custom CSS to the theme in the theme options.

4- It’s the like button, the share button uses different Facebook code, and you’d have to edit the code of the Valenti sharing block to get the share button there. Although you could disable the Valenti sharing block and install a sharing plugin that has it already.

I hope this information is useful!

Hi, sorry I was on another user “Wzarlon” – I cannot seem to be able to reply to the other one :)

And thanks – found the field to enter my other post type (in this example its the plugin bepro_listings I enter) – but I do not see any change in the modules. I will try run over the documentation again.

And hope for the 50% shortcode module box also one day :)

No problem, happy to help :)

The bbpress widget is inside the cubell themes functionality plugin files, there is a widgets folder there with it. And regarding any other translations, if you can open a ticket in the support system and include urls/images pointing out the ones missing, I can fix them. There shouldn’t be any need to translate them, as the plugins (bbPress/BuddyPress) should be translating them themselves.

Cubell

You bet – but might first be when I update next time to ensure I get the correct ones before reporting to you, but I will be sure to post in the support system next time :)

No problemo, sounds good :)

Hi. Is there a way to use ad code in the background takeover? Every time I add it to the body and css it bumps everything down.

Hey again,

Ah I see, the Valenti background ad system was created for images + links, not special DFP codes, because DFP’s have their own code and way of implementation. It sounds like a CSS issue, as the DFP should be positioned absolute/fixed, so the site content would appear on top of it, if you share your URL I can take a quick look and see if I can help, but if not, you would need to hire a developer to help you out with it, and I’d recommend looking for one on http://studio.envato.com which is run by the same people who run Themeforest.

Cubell

It’s all good. I did the following for anybody else interested:

in header.php replace

<body <?php body_class(); echo $cb_bg_to_img; ?>> <?php echo $cb_bg_ad; ?>

with

<body <?php body_class() ?>> <div id="bgt"> <ad code XXXX> </div> basically just removed the echos, and then added the following to custom css #bgt { position:fixed; width:100%; height:auto; margin-left:0%; margin-top:10px; } @media only screen and (max-device-width: 1079px){ #bgt { display:none !important } }

Ah nice one, thanks very much for sharing, it might help someone in the future :)

Would you please consider adding “Post types” to the Post selection in the Drag & Drop builder to each module. Along side with the current “by category”, “by tags”, “by postname”.

We have posts in different post types and they are not accessiable with the current options.

And another request is to make a 50% module for shortcode. Atm. there is only a 100% option.

Thanks for an awesome theme

Hi Wzarlon,

The modules in the pagebuilder are compatible with custom posts types. You need to tell the theme about them via the Theme Options. Also, can you please login into the account that purchased the theme when asking post-sale questions. Thank you!

Cubell

Well my user is Goatti1 and I for sure purchased it – twice even :) I will login on that from my office pc tomorrow.. And ok, I will try check the theme options – wonder why I missed that if it is there.

Thanks for that! I’m sorry for asking, it’s just that I need to make sure I spend my time helping confirmed buyers :)

Some pre-purchase questions: 1. The featured posts that show in the mega menu, can they be selected manually? 2. Can we handpick posts to show up in post grids on main page? 3. Can we handpick posts for the top breaking bar?

That’s all that comes to mind for now. Anyway, great theme.

Hey AFQ,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti.

1- Yes, inside posts there is a an option to feature the post in the megamenu, if no posts are featured, it will revert to showing random posts in the megamenu.

2- If you build the homepage with the Valenti pagebuilder you will find each module you add has an option to select what posts to show, so you can select posts from “category / tag / specific post”. I’d recommend using tags option for modules to feature posts, that way you add a tag to your posts, for example, a tag called “feature”, and then you set the module to only show posts with that tag.

3- The breaking news only shows the latest posts, and you can only filter it to show posts from specific category/ies.

Hope this helps.

Hi, real nice theme you have here. Going through the comments it looks like your features aren’t integrated to Visual Composer, so you can only use VC or the theme’s page builder. I can understand not integrating VC direcly. But how about compatibility with good ol’ Wordpress’s visual editor via shortcodes? Wouldn’t doing that support VC by default (when using a text block)? I’d really like to get the theme because it look amazing, but not being able to use VC AND the theme’s modules at the same time is simply too limiting.

Hey Archaga,

Thanks for the kind words and interest in Valenti.

The theme does not use/need any plugins like Visual Composer, however, they do work fine, I’ve seen a couple of users use Visual Composer with no problems.

Where do you want to use VC exactly? If you create a homepage with Visual Composer and the Valenti Homepage builder, the Visual Composer will be outputted first, and the Valenti builder modules after, you can’t combine the two though.

Hope this info is useful!

Cubell

Hi, I’ve set up a homepage using The Homepage Builder. In Section B, I am using Module E, tho show the latest 5 posts. How can I get it to “load more” posts at the user’s interaction? or at least show pagination?

Hi Dmelgoza,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

WordPress only allows one pagination per page, and as such, modules can’t have pagination. I am looking into adding ajax pagination (similar to load more button), but until I am able to do it, I can’t promise it will be done. For pagination on the homepage, you have to use the latest posts style (WordPress default).

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

I was wondering if this website used their own css to get the title on the featured image or is that an option?

http://www.stancenation.com/2014/11/25/old-school-perfection-takanobus-toyota-sprinter-trueno/

Hey there,

Yes, they added custom CSS code to the theme options to change that. To get you started, try copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:

#cb-full-width-featured .cb-entry-header .cb-title-fi {     background: transparent;    padding: 0px 20px 10px; }

That will make the background of the titles in the full-width featured image style transparent.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Cubell,

Is there a way to remove all page titles? I have looked online at CSS edits but found no luck (could be doing it wrong), and plug-ins don’t seem to work. Is there a way to remove them all?

Kane

Also, I wish to have the home page as a picture that takes up the full screen, with some links to pages. (Like http://inbedwithmaradona.com/). Is there a way to do this, or any plug-ins that work? I’ve searched for splash and landing pages, but with no luck.

Hey Kane,

The only way to hide all page titles with CSS is to copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:

.page .cb-cat-header { display: none;}

Should do the trick.

And to create a landing page like that, you will definitely need to find a plugin that allows you to do that, or to hire a developer to help you out with it (he/she can create that for you by building a page template), and I’d recommend looking for one on http://studio.envato.com which is run by the same people who run Themeforest.

Cubell hello again,

I seem to be getting logged out of Wordpress when I click on ‘Visit Site’ within my Wordpress Dashboard. I do get to go to my Site but then I must log back into Wordpress. The only thing I have done is install Disqus but I disabled it and I still have this problem.

Update: Oh, I had logged out as a user on the actual frontend of site. Is that correct I must be logged in on the frontend as a user? I think I am not getting something but anyway it seems ok now.

Thanks

Marina

Hi again :)

Glad it’s okay now, but I’m really certain what was going on, all I can say is that the theme wouldn’t be able to log you out/in – it is all WordPress when it comes to that.

How do I center Widgets in the footer?

Everything is automatically set to the left.

THANKS!

Not just the footer, but in any of the widget menus really.. Thanks

Hi Brocktheboss,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

You can try by copy/paste the following code into your Theme Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS box:
.cb-footer-widget, .cb-sidebar-widget { text-align: center; }

Hope this helps

Cubell

Hello,

I just looked through the documentation but couldn’t find the answer. How do I create a page with “only grids”?

Do I have to add module blocks one after another? If that is the way, is it possible to create a page such as the “only grids” for one tag/category without repeating the posts?

Hey Xlmajor,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

Yes, that is how you would do that, you would add multiple grid modules one after another. You would then use the “offset” option in each module to offset the posts in each module so you don’t have any repeated posts.

You could create a new page for a tag/category, build up the modules as you wish, and then using https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/ plugin, you would redirect the default category/tag url to that page, so whenever a user clicks to go on that category, it will automatically/seamlessly transfer the user to the page you created.

I hope this helps.

Hi there,

So I am trying to get the hover colors to work and have read a few of the comments in this section, not sure if I’ve hit a bug or if I am doing something wrong.

I have given each of my menu headers a color as per the documentation and it works. However, there are some posts that fall under two different categories.

Example: A post in the category MUSIC should be blue which is working properly, however if I add another category like FEATURED for example it removes the coloring. This makes sense however I have another category called CULTURE which is red and also has FEATURED as another category attached and it retains the red hover. Is this CSS code that I need or is it a bug?

Thanks!

I believe I’ve narrowed it down, categories are listed in alphabetical order when you assign posts to them, as FEATURED comes before MUSIC it is taking the global styling of the first category applied to the post. I’m not sure how to resolve this. Any insight?

Hey ChrisBlackWater,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

It would be useful to see the url (you can submit it privately via the support system: http://support.cubellthemes.com ) although if it is what I think it is, there isn’t really a way to “fix” that, as WordPress sends the theme the relevant color to show, and if a post has multiple categories, it sends the first one alphabetically (as it can only show one color, this is what WordPress does). What you can do though is to not use a category for featuring posts, instead you should use a tag for that. In the pagebuilder, all modules have the option to use a “by tags” filter, which means you can give posts a “feature” tag, and then show them in the modules you want.

I hope this helps!

Hi, I have a very important question, that keeps me from buying. Is it possible to use the background as ad-space, where you can put ad-tags from Google adsense or Google dfp?

Mario

Hey Mario,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti :)

The Background Takeover Ad system that was created for Valenti works by uploading/setting a background image and entering a URL to click to, there isn’t a way to integrate ad code with an iframe (I’m guessing that is how Google AdSense/DFP would do it for a background ad). Therefore for something like that you’d need to hire a developer to help you integrate a DFP background ad.

Hope this info is useful.

Hi pre-purchase question

I have my own personal sharing addon and i would display it in the same place like yours do you think its easy to do this?

https://hostr.co/VZ85hePcUBxA

Thank You

Hey RealWondah,

Thanks for your interest (And subsequent purchase) :)

In case you haven’t tested the theme yet, you can disable Valenti’s sharing block in the theme options and install your own.

All the best,

Cubell

Hi,

The comment form on my posts are not appearing, I have made comment on in the theme options but still it’s not showing. Currently I have installed Disqus, that is also not showing up.

Please help

Hey Dhiraj123,

Thanks for choosing Valenti. Do you have the comments enable in the Theme Options -> Posts? If so, edit the post you can’t see comment form on, and then click on the “screen options” button on the top right corner of the screen, and tick the “discussion” checkbox, now scroll down and make sure the post allows comments (this is a WordPress setting).

Cubell

Hi, i have a problem with post published. i published a post and it didn’t appear neither in the category neither in the grid above homepage’s “Latest Posts” content. I check the published date and it is ok. Thanks for your help

Hi Gabeca,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

Can you please open a ticket up in http://support.cubellthemes.com and include the URL of the post, to take a look at it all.

Cubell

Hello Cubell,

Can you tell me if it’s possible to remove (and if yes how) the ‘Website’ box in the leave a reply comment section?

And can you recommend a form builder plugin that works well with Valenti, I only require a simple contact us form.

Thanks and great job with the Theme and support.

Hey Marina,

Hope you’re well :)

1- All you need to do is install this free plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-comment-websiteurl-box/

As the theme is written properly, plugins like that will work with no problems :)

2- For a contact form, I’d recommend installing Contact Form 7. It’s really well developed and the theme adds some styling for it (the theme demo uses it too).

Hope this helps.

Cubell

I am well thanks and hope you are too!

Thank you Cubell – of course Contact Form 7 silly me :-)

I am well too thanks and you’re welcome :)

Hi!

First of all great theme!

I would like to see a complete blank page template added to the next version. (full-width, without the title section) So i can build my complete page with visual composer.

Would love to hear from you.

And thanks for the great theme!

Hey Rients,

That is a good suggestion, I will definitely add a page template for that, but to be certain, you want a page template that shows the header/footer/menu/etc, but the page content area is literally blank (no title/featured image)?

Cubell

Exactly.

It would also be great to have that same blank page option for a post (in this case the feauterd image should work on the overview/category pages)

I’ve used other themes like enfold where you can turn off header/footer/menu/breadcrumbs per page/post. Would be awesome to implement that in the Valenti theme to.

Okay, I will see what I can do, thanks for the suggestions :)
