Hello,

I bought this theme along time ago but I just am beginning to use it.

I am having a small issue with the menu when viewed on a mobile device….

The very first menu item appears half-way underneath the logo box. How can I fix this? It works fine on a PC.

Thanks

Hi, please update the theme and if you still have trouble please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

Hi, how can i optimize the site search? Now, it does not show text from subheadline in the results….

Thanx. Chris

Hi,
The search results is just a feed and a way of showing the results (it does not affect the search results in anyway). Feel free to edit the search.php if you want. Cheers :)

Hey Pirenko!

Is there a way to add smooth scrolling jump links (anchors) to a page? I have seen the “back to top” arrow to go back up but I wonder if I could do that with links and page sections.

Hi,
I will implement that on the next update. In the meantime send me a private message for a quicker implementation. Cheers ;)

Hello. I’m having issues with the VIsual Composer styles not being applied on the front-end. For example using the visual composer I tried using a 3-column layout. Each column div is applied the following selectors:

vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container

However, these selectors don’t appear anywhere in the css. So, no styles are being applied to the div. It seems like the Visual Composer (vc) styles are missing from the main.css file.

Hi,
I just replied to you email. It seems that the main.css file on your server is different from the original file. If you have more questions please reply to my email. Thanks :)

Thanks for your quick help! Solved the issue. When I “formatted” the main.css file several of the styles were removed. Thanks Dreamweaver…

Ok, cheers :nerdy:

Hi Pirenko,

A while ago I asked you about Pixia theme, but I have another question about the Samba theme (maybe it’s more suitable for my project). Is it posible to change the colors of the main menu (left side bar)? Or any other kind of customization on it?

Thanks!!

Hi,
Yes, of course… You can edit all those colors with the theme options (no coding skills required). Cheers :)

You are welcome ;)

good morning I have a problem I’m looking for I hope you will help me. I want my video automatically play when I connect to the site www.laurentrastello.com When I paste the code directly in the editor wordpress it works very well the video starts automatically <iframe width = “300” height = “138” frameborder = “0”src=”//player.vimeo.com/video/115480371?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1&loop=1”></iframe> TEASER2014 from IPICTURA PRODUCTION on Vimeo. I want to have the same function with visual composer but I can not seem to have the AutoPlay… I made many tests and automatic startup does not work :( I think I have not tried 100 possibilities thank you for you help

Hi, where did you buy the theme?

Hi man great theme.

I have a problem with the X button linking back to a page of type Blog Classic. This is quite strange because in some cases it works fine but sometimes does not. This is my page if you can take a look: http://mancomani.com/

Aditionally i don’t know if you can help me with this but i’ve installed the WP Preview plugin and happens the same, the plugin sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know if this is caused by the same reason.

I appreciate all the help that you can give me.

Thanks!

Hi,
I don’t know any compatibility issues with that plugin, but if you run into trouble try turning OFF the Ajax load feature. Cheers :)

That was it! Thanks man you’re awesome :)

Thanks :bashfulcute:

Hi

I cant seem to find in the documentation or in the sample content where the extra text is added that only displays when at a certain width for the frontpage.

Your demo site has it all working great

frontpage text on mobile devices says…

“In case you are wondering: where did this text came for? Well it’s just visible on small devices… You can place whatever content you want here that”

if you could point me to where this is added maybe a widget ? or via visual composer ? I currenly have a full fronpage slider template as homepage. On mobile devices there is allot of whitespace though.

How do I get it to ONLY show on a mobile layout though ? as with the demo site

Full slider on a desktop no content below.

On a mobile full slider with content below

ohhhhhhhhhhh

LOL sorry for the confusion

yep as you said just add it with the visual editor but usig the full page slider template

great thanks :)

You are welcome ;)

I don’t understand what you mean. Please explain clearly what is not the same thing. Thanks!

Anyway, I’ll try to fix this issue with css. But you should note that for V4.5. People might need custom fields for maps on contact pages ;)

Now I remember you… Multiple contact pages, right? I told you to build the pages from scratch with the page builder, but you are using the theme Contact Page template.
You should use the normal page template and add all the necessary content. Once again, if you need help please send me a private message with a link to the page that you are trying to build.
Cheers!

Hi, is it possible to add multiple contact pages with different map data ?

Hi,
You don’t need to code anything… If you use the page builder you have an element called Google Maps. If you need to send me a private message do it through the form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/Pirenko
Thanks!

But page builder creating maps with google maps javascript api. I need to add my maps like your default map. As an iframe…

Hum… If you really need that place your iframe code inside the Raw HTML page element. Cheers!

Hi, can I ask a pre-purchase question? Can this theme is able to make the grid portfolio items square? Is so, please tell me and I’ll buy this. Thanks!

Email sent. Thanks ;)

Hi, I have another question to ask. Will I able to modify the left main menu’s width? After I set a small logo, the width of left main menu is not changing. Thanks

Hi,
The menu bar width is not an option. The fixed size is 260 pixels. Thanks!

Thanks…i did not noticed these updates.

Hi,
Sorry, but I don’t understand… Does this also happen on the theme preview? http://www.pirenko.com/samba/

sorry! i was wrong…yes its showing the same. Submenu is missing…

Hi,
I just tested it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab II and it is showing normally. Please send me a private message with a screenshot and we’ll take it from there.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko, i still have problems with displaying the menu on Samsung divices… i saw theres an update of Samba-Theme. Which files should be changed?

Thanks and all good for the next year! Christian

Hi,
Please update the theme to the latest version. There were 13 releases since you last updated it. Take a look at the theme documentation if you need help with the update process.
Cheers!

...ok. I took a look, but there´s no point for the update in the documentation…

Hi Pirenko,

after updating to Samba 4.3 with all plugins of VC no longer works in the backend. He recognizes no longer the existing content. It appears only the code. When I click the button, the VC indicates to me that no content is available. The frontend editor works correctly. WordPress 4.0.1 is installed.

What could be the problem?

Hi,
Please make sure that you also update WordPress. Try also turning OFF all the other plugins you may have. If you still have trouble please send me a private message with the WP login details.
Thanks!

Thank you, Pirenko

it works now fine ;-)

Hi Pirenko, could it be possible to have a list with only the files to change for next update ? It’s because there were too many updates during these last weeks… Thanks for all and Merry Christmas !

Hi,
I’m sorry, but I don’t keep track of the files that I change on each update. If you have made manual changes to the theme file system, try to place your changes files directly into the new theme version.
If you have trouble with it then you need to analyze those specific files and rebuild your edits.
Merry Christmas too :)

Great theme. I have one question/issue that I’ve run into that maybe someone can help with;

I’m using the Template “Page – With Sections” The FlexSlider is turned on (so slider images are full width) The slides don’t advance unless the mouse is over the menus :(

I understand that there is an option for “Play slideshow even when mouse is over”, but this is only an option on the “Page – Fullscreen Slider” template.

Any thoughts on how to get around this? I’m using the latest Samba version released a few days ago.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please open the js/main-min.js file search for “pauseOnHover: true” and replace with “pauseOnHover: false”
Cheers :nerdy:

Hi Pirenko, I have just scanned the site with wordfence and it picks up this issue:

File contains suspected malware URL: /home/bhcpanel/public_html/wp-content/themes/samba/js/main.js Filename: wp-content/themes/samba/js/main.js Bad URL: http://coveroverflow.com/a/11381730/989439 File type: Not a core, theme or plugin file. Issue first detected: 1 hour 9 mins ago. Severity: Critical Status New This file contains a suspected malware URL listed on Google’s list of malware sites. Wordfence decodes base64 when scanning files so the URL may not be visible if you view this file. The URL is: http://coveroverflow.com/a/11381730/989439 – More info available at Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

When I look at the same file in the updated version of samba the url is still there so it has not been added on the live version of the site. Can you tell me why that link is there? what is it for?

Hi,
That file is the uncompressed version of the theme main-min.js file. I left it there so that you can modify the theme functions if you need it. That file (at least the original file provided with the theme) does not have any malware. Feel free to remove it from your server, because the theme only uses the main-min.js file.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko,

I have install Samba theme with wordpress 4.0.1 hoping to use it with an rtl version. the header / menu part moves to the right but the main content are doesn’t move to the left and stays on the right.

I tried downgrade to WP 3.9 and 3.8 but no change. can this problem be fixed?

here is a link to a photo with the problem:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5199813/Samba.png

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! This theme is not ready for RTL. Still, I would love to make it if you could help me with that. Please send me a private message with a link to your website and I’ll help you (and you help me making the theme 100% compatible).
Cheers ;)

Hi,I am a customer. What is this line just after the body tag:

<? php body_class (‘samba_theme’ $ resp_class.); ?>

Classes are displayed as text. This is for what?

The problem is that google takes them as the content and it appears in the description of my site in the results:

...class = “home page page-id-843 page-template-template-page page-theme-php…

This is not good.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! I know where that code is coming from and it seems to be fine on my side and on the theme preview. Please update the theme to the latest version and if you still have trouble please send me a private message with the WP login so that I can analyze this.
Cheers :)

Hello Pirenko – I just updated to the latest theme version and notice that the left and right arrows at the top of single portfolio items are invisible / hidden. The close X is there though and animates ok.

Any ideas why this is is happening. I can see in Firefox the following when I select that element.

element.style { display: none; opacity: 0; }

Hi, thank you for purchasing! Do you have any portfolio items with the same skill? If yes please send me a private message with the WP Login please. Cheers :)
