Awesome theme!

Is there an ETA on the next version of theme? Are there any major updates or would it be mostly bug fixes? I would really like to know if any upcoming versions would have more slider choices. Thanks!

Hey Lottopixel,

Thanks for the kind words :)

There is not ETA at the moment, but there will still be updates released to fix any discovered bugs in the theme and adding a few new cool features/improvements. Stay tuned :)

Hello, Great theme! I have a little question: the visit counter of the posts doesn’t seem coherent with my google analytics. For examples, an article have 23 visits since two days but GA notice that it was consulted 60 times by 40 different visitors. And it’s the same thing for every posts. Another problem (but linked with the other one), on my homepage, the visit counter doesn’t seem to be well updated too (for this example, the cb_visit_counter=23 in the db and not on the homepage).

In the demo theme, there is not this problem. When i click on the article “Post With Parallax Featured Image”, the visit counter is well increased (13917 and so) in the article and after that, on the homepage… and it’s ok for every click on the article.

I’m on the 3.2 version. Here there is the adresse of my website : http://www.amarok-mag.com

Thanks!

I tghink it’s a cache problem… that’s ok now… :)

Hey Kane1991,

Thanks for the kind words, and happy it’s okay now :)

I’m having some sort of responsive issue—not sure what? When I resize the browser or view the site on a tablet, the sidebar goes below the main content instead of staying in place. Any idea what may be causing this? Thanks! Love this design!

Hi there,

Thanks for choosing Valenti.

I had a look and it’s because you have CSS code in your child-theme style.css that is stopping the responsiveness:

#cb-content .cb-sidebar, #content.widecolumn .cb-sidebar {
margin: 0 30px;
padding: 0px 0 0 0;
}

Delete the margin line from there and it will work responsively again.

Hey Cubell, it’s me again…

How can I put a link in the title of the widget of the sidebar? Is it possible? I have a widget which present my eshop and customer want to click on the title…

Thanks for your answer

Best regards

Hey again,

I think sidebar titles accept HTML code, so all you need to do is enter:

<a href="http://some-url">Sidebar Widget Title</a>

Cubell

Hi,

How many days for have a response on support?

Best regards

Hi RealWondah,

I had a look and your ticket was submitted at almost midnight on Friday (my timezone), and as it’s first come first served, on Friday day I answered as many tickets as possible but didn’t reach yours. I don’t work most weekends, so your ticket was one of the first tickets to be seen on Monday, and it has been replied now. Remember it’s usually 24 hour responses during business days, not weekends.

Hello Cubell,

I have an issue with the woocommerce sidebar widget on your demo its the “Random Products” widgets..there is no padding around the thumbs as there is in the widget under it..the “Recent Reviews” it’s rather difficult to see because on your demo the images all have a white background that match the background of the widget…but it looks terrible on my site when you have various colors in the thumb. How can I have the 2 widget layouts match?

Hey again,

Ah I see! They must have changed the class name or something in a recent update! You can easily fix it by copy/paste the following CSS code into your Theme options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS:

.woocommerce ul.cart_list li img, .woocommerce-page ul.cart_list li img, .woocommerce ul.product_list_widget li img, .woocommerce-page ul.product_list_widget li img {margin-right: 20px; } 

Thanks for letting me know.

Cubell

LOL thank you so much sweety! Looks GREAT NOW!

No problem, happy I could help :)

Hello, I installed many social share plugin, but they are bad. Your social plugin is awesome, but I think (maybe i’m not the only one) you should add the Facebook share button. Now there’s the like button, but in my case, how can i add the share button with the same style?

Please, can you consider to add the share button? Can you teach me how to add it?

The other social share plugins are the worst plugins i have ever seen :-)

Hi Luigizanni,

Thanks for the kind words :) I will probably add an option to add/remove specific buttons in the future, so I may add a share button option. Until then you will need to edit the code of the social buttons. The Valenti sharing block code is located in core.php (try searching for sharing to find the relevant block of code) and you should see the Facebook like button code, which you could change to the share one (check Facebook API developers site for steps/code).

Hi

I posted a few points last night but they seem to have disappeared.

1. How do you change the colour of each menu category title / the background of the drop down menu, as seen in the demo?

2. How do you change the background of the body on the homepage (the bit that’s currently white).

3. I am trying to install a plugin that displays the article publishing date as ‘posted 2 hours ago’ or ‘posted 3 days ago’, instead of the date. What file is this information stored in? I’ve looked in single.php and I can’t seem to find the right line. Is this the correct file?

Thanks.

Hey Stanmoor,

I’m not sure what happened, but there are definitely no other comments from you here.

1- There is an option inside each category/tag/page to set a color.

2- There isn’t an option for the main body of the site to be a different color, but you could easily use a bit of custom CSS code to do it. I think other users have asked about it in the past here and I may have shared some code for it, try searching in these comments and you should find it.

3- It is in core.php.

For all future questions, please ensure to be asking them through the account that purchased the theme or through the support system.

All the best,

Cubell

Curious. When creating a post and selecting the video option, how can I set the video to go the full width of the top area?

I am really loving the theme and its many built in features.

I hope that I’m making sense.

Hey Prtynked,

Thanks very much for your kind words and for choosing Valenti :)

Did you check the documentation? It has a section about video posts with all the instructions, hope it helps! Let me know if it doesn’t.

Cubell

Hello… Yes I first checked the docs and all I found it states is how to post one. But it gives no option to increase the area that the video occupies.

Like if I want the video to be 750px wide there is no option for that. So I was wondering if there was some page that I needed to edit the dimensions on. :)

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Ah I see, well the Valenti video post type design is as you see it on the demo – it makes the video appear overlaid on top of the featured image, and it uses as much space as the featured image gives it, so if you use a big featured image style (parallax/full-background), the video embed will appear bigger. The embed can’t be made bigger in that design as otherwise it would overlap other elements on the site and break the layout.

Cubell

Hello,

You can spend a few cases of blogs that are already in the air using this theme?

THANKS

Hi Netleon08,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti. There are a few real sites using Valenti listed on the theme description page, did you check those out? You can also find some URL’s shared by users in these comments, although when users share URL here it’s mostly for sites that are currently in development, so may not be finished.

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

One question – I’ve browsed the theme on my phone and think that the ‘swipe right’ feature for the menu doesn’t work too well. I’m on safari, so this gesture pushes me to the last page. I don’t think it’s obvious enough to the user that that’s what they need to do to reveal the menu. Would it be possible to have maybe a ‘button’ or something on the left of the screen, so you effectively pull on that to reveal the menu? What do you think?

Hi Gubbins123,

Thanks for checking out Valenti. The swipe feature will only really benefit visitors who are used to mobile interfaces, as it’s quite standard in a lot of interfaces to swipe to reveal menus, so it’s overkill to explain to users that you can do it that way. But for users who aren’t as experienced on mobiles, there is a menu button that opens it up (it’s the hamburger icon).

How can i change the width iof the sidebar ? I need an exact match withe the 300px width of the standard IAB banners….. Thank you

Hi again,

The only way you can do that is via custom CSS, but it can get a bit messy as you would be altering the layout and likely require multiple bits of code for every situation. If you use the 1020px version of the theme (an option in the theme options), the sidebar will be 300px already.

Cubell

thank you

You’re welcome :)

Hi! i need to use some widgets without the header the theme uses “under” the title (the red lime over a gray background). In example for a banner…. How can i exclude this header for some widgets? Thank You Maurizio

Hi Weeshsrl,

Thanks for choosing Valenti. Can you share your URL and point out what widgets you mean to take a look? Might be able to help.

Cubell

No, i can’t can i send an image ?

You can easily attached images to tickets in the support site here: http://support.cubellthemes.com see you there :)

Hello Valenti, since the last update i have some problems again with the grid on homepage (special homepage built). My new posts don’t appear in the grid I nee to activate and desactivate vlenti child to see them again. Coul you help me please.

Thanks a lot

Hey SandVE,

That doesn’t sound good, but it definitely doesn’t sound like a theme issue, it sounds like a cache issue. Your cache plugin may be very aggressive and not refresh after publishing new posts quick enough. Try changing to a new cache plugin, such as w3 total cache.

Cubell

I use quick cache for severals months and i didn’t have problems so i don’t think it’s a cache problem.

I have another ask: is it possible to let a post for ever in the grid at the top of the homepage (builthomepage) or put hust an image with a link?

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards

But that behavior really sounds like cache, because when you deactivate/activate a theme, i’m sure most cache plugins would definitely refresh the cache, but when you publish a post, it may not be refreshing (it probably does it a little while later automatically). Have you tried refreshing the cache manually after publishing a post?

Yeah you can. Simply edit the module you want to change, and make it use the “by posts” filter, then using the ajax post search, search for posts you want to keep in that module for ever and that module will remain that way permanently.

Hope this helps.

Cubell

Hello Cubel,

I’d like to not show the excerpt on latest posts widget. What should I write to do it?

Thank you,

Flaubi.

I just had another look and found another problem, you didn’t enter the right code, it’s meant to be .widget-latest-articles .cb-excerpt with a space in between the words, but yours are together.

Cubell

Oh, right!

Now the problem has been solved. Thanks for the great support and have a good week.

Regards,

Flaubi.

You’re welcome, happy I could help :)

Have a great week too!

Hi,

presales question. All pages I see with the tiles are boxed. Is it possible to use a full width version like on this page: http://WeGlobals.com.

Thanks, Jos

Hey again,

No problem! Yes, the full-width only refers to the header/footer areas (in the theme demo there is a tool to preview the full-width option). The main content area is not full-screen because that would cause lots of layout issues and look terrible, particularly in posts (if the screen is very big, the lines of text would spill too much). The grids load image thumbnails that are of particular shapes/sizes, if you made them full-screen too, you would have to either stretch the images and make them look pixelated, or load big images in them and make everyone without a big screen to load extra big images for no reason.

Hope this makes sense.

Cubell

Thanks Cubell, unfortunately it makes sense. And I have to do without full width content.

You’re welcome!

Hello,

With the theme, it’s possible to put the title of post before the thumbnail image ?

Thanks you

Hi Flostudio,

Thanks for the interest in Valenti. The only way to do that without editing the code, is to set the featured image style to “off” and then manually insert a featured image at the top of the post content area, that way the title outputs at the top and the image outputs where you inserted it.

I hope this helps.

Cubell

Hello!

Valenti is a great theme. Very easy to use and beautifully designed. I’ve recently encountered a small issue where the background image on the homepage seems to be darker than it actually is. I deactivated all the plugins but the problem still persists. I’m sure it’s a CSS issue. This is my website: www.ourbrickell.com

Thank you!

I just noticed this issue is with all the pages, not just the homepage.

Hey there,

Thanks for the kind words and for choosing Valenti :)

Some images have a tinted overlay on top to keep the focus on the content of the site, however, I had a look at your site and you seem to be using an outdated version of Valenti, where there was a bug with the overlay. Update to the latest version (instructions are in documentation) and it should all be fixed.

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

How to order post by “Post Title”

Thx C

Hey again,

I tried going on your site, but it keeps saying “The server at www.lkevents.lk can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed.” are you sure that is the correct URL?

Although saying that, it really sounds like you need to either need to edit the theme code to fit your needs or edit the plugin (if you are using an events plugin) to do so, and for customizations of that level 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

Hi Cubell,

Sorry for my mistake , url should be www.lkevents.com.au

I do not used any event plugin.

Hey again,

That URL worked, but i’m not sure how I can help. If you need to order posts by a special events custom field, that is definitely a very unique/individual customization, and you will need to hire a developer to help you with it, try the site I shared in my previous response to find one.

Cubell

Hi Cubell,

I purchased and liked the theme. Thanks!

I’d like to ask how can I download the widgets? Because I can not see Valenti widgets in Wordpress! :S

Hi Dacencoldfird,

Thanks very much for using Valenti :)

Did you install and activate the Cubell Themes Functionality plugin?

Cubell

Hi,

I was trying to find it from plugins section, found that it was in the appearence section from the documentation.

Thanks

You’re welcome, happy I could help :)
