Hello kaptinlin.
Firstly, what a wonderful theme. I will definitely be coming to again in the near future.
So far only one issue has arisen for me. Accents on capital letters cause the whole character to disappear when they are headings. It is all the text that is replaced with flash rendered text (at least that is how I think you are doing it).
Is there a workaround to this problem? The site I am creating in in spanish and it is very important for the orthography to be correct.
Thank you for your time. Peace 
Hi Peace,
I think the cufon font you use doesn’t contain these characters.
You can change the font to another to see if it solve you problem.
Or you can generate the font you own. More info you can learn from the document.
Thanks for your compliments.

Hi, I have two questions. I apologize if these has previously been addressed.
1. Is it possible to raise the main navigation menu? i.e. Can I add some padding beneath the menu like I can the logo? I would like to raise it for aesthetic reasons.
2. When I change the Page Background Color to black I get a white outline surrounding the black. Can I turn this off somehow, or change the outline color?
Thanks in advance, -LJ
Hi Larry,
For the questions,
1) You can use custom css code in ‘striking’->‘general’ option page
.jqueryslidemenu ul li a {
height: 80px;
}
#navigation {
height: 80px;
}
2) You can use custom css code below
#page {
background-image:none;
}
#page_bottom {
background-image:none;
}

But I still could not received and mails that I have sent several times from my website. 2. There is also an extra contact form generated in my contact us page. How do I remove it? Cheers.

Please have look at this site so that you would know what I mean http://thewebfuel.com/contact-us-11/
Hello,

You can go to ‘Appearance’->‘Widgets’ page to remove it.

Hi kaptinlin,
Thanks you for the guidance. It was simple removing the extra contact from in the widgets.
I have gone tru the post in regards to activating my contact form but it still didn’t help. I successfully activate SMTP , send a test message tru WP and receive the test message. But the thing is that I could not receive any message when I send it tru my website. Same as well with the contact form at the footer. Why is this so? This issue have been with me for the past 2 weeks. I’m seriously cripple with this. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
I have few problems:
Hey KaptinLin I’m wondering if anyone has had issues with the theme and the All-In-One SEO plugin.
1. The alt tags on the header menu don’t work with the WP3 .0 menus, although they do with the sidebar.
2. A bigger issue is that since I’ve switched to this theme, my website is no longer producing canonical URLs.
Both are problematic from an SEO standpoint, although item number two is a much bigger SEO issue than item one.
Any thoughts on this?
Example website is http://www.web-savvy-marketing.com.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Hi,
For the questions.
1) You may take a look at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-rel-attribute-to-a-menu-link
2) i see canonical urls in the example website. Anything wrong?
Regards,
KaptinLin
As always KaptinLin, thanks for the very prompt reply. You are exceptional at support.
1. You lost me. The link was way over my head, as I’m not a coder. I am entering a “title attribute” and this works in the sidebar menus, just not the header menu. Could you be more specific on what needs to be modified in your theme files to support title attribute in WP3 .0 menus?
2. They are there, but not there. I did figure out that the W3 Total Cache plugin is causing a conflict.
Thanks and happy Friday!
Hi,
“You can add the link ‘rel’ and ‘alt’ options through the default menu editor by going to ‘screen options’ when you are on the ‘menus’ page in your admin area.
Tick the options ‘Link Relationship (XFN)’ and ‘Description’, this then adds those options for each menu item.”
Hope this helps.
Regards
KaptinLin
Yes I get that and I’ve done that, but alt tags for the page titles only works in the sidebar. The alt tags do not work for the header menu.
Sorry, it seems wordpress built-in menu dosen’t support alt tag.
Hi back, Jus one last question. Is there any way to justify the column text? Thanks!
Hi,
Will the code below helps?
You can put it to custom css code option in ‘striking’->‘general’ options page.
.one_half, .one_third, .two_third, .three_fourth, .one_fourth, .one_fifth, .two_fifth, .three_fifth, .four_fifth, .one_sixth, .five_sixth {
text-align:justify;
}
Learn from http://www.w3schools.com/CSS/pr_text_text-align.asp
Regards,
KaptinLin
Sorry but it doesn’t make any difference…Any other solution? I spent the whole day searching and nothing seemed to work.
Can you tell me where you want to make the text justify.
So i can give you the correct code.
Actually it’s on my home page. I have a presentation text on 2 columns and I need to justify it. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
Will the code below helps?
.one_half {
text-align:justify;
}
If not, can you give me your page link?
Regards,
KaptinLin
The code doesn’t work so my page link: http://lilyandcedric.fr/sample/
By the way, can you tell me how I can change the picture caption color and the caption color background at the bottom of the page?
Thanks!
Actually I found a solution myself for all these problems.
Well done!
To make the theme load much faster it would be great if the icon packs which load could be made into CSS sprites. So only 1 requests is made rather than every icon in every colour. And to move some of the JS to the footer.
Awesome theme
Hi alexasigno,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Will do css sprites work in future.
For the js, you can learn from ‘striking’->‘advance’ option page.

KaptinLin
Hey you,
awesome theme. One of the best I have ever worked with.
Two question though:
Is it possible to keep the footer on the bottom of the page? Even with pages that have little to zero content?
The showcase page you have in your preview – Is that a 2 column site or did you use the portfolio 1 column feature for that?
Thanks in advance Sandra*
Hi Sandra*
For the footer on the bottom of the page, some resources you can learn from
http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
http://www.cre8ivecommando.com/css-sticky-footer-keep-your-footer-at-the-bottom-of-the-page-1124/
For the showcase page, i use one-column feature for that.
Thanks for the compliments.

Hi kaptinlin! It is possible to create a main menu without a link (side). I will make one master menu with 5 submenus. the master menu don’t have a link or a side. It only a container. Thanks for help. Bye Oliver
Hi reese,
You can use wordpress built-in menu.
Go to ‘striking’->‘general’ option page to enable it.
Then go to ‘Appearances’->‘Menu’ to config the navigation.

Hello,
Two problems…
Every slider shows works but not the 3D. I changed different parameters, but I just see the shadow and not the slider. Nothing changed after changing the opacity of the shadow, the effects… The photos have the right size… What’s wrong?
And I’d like to change the size of the slider (width). Where can I do this?
Thanks for your help, I’m in a hurry…

Okay, Never mind! The issue was on my end. I re-uploaded the striking theme folder and everything works fine now. A couple of files must have failed on upload. Which is very possible because my internet keeps cutting in and out. Grrr…. Sorry for the confusion, and I love this theme BTW . Thanks for trying to help.
Well done! Glad you love it.
Hmmm… I also noticed that I don’t get the previous/next arrows or a description. This is strange. I just loaded the theme like I would any other theme. Not sure what could be the problem here…Im using WP 3 .0.4. Any help would be much appreciated. www.smokymtnstudios.com
Hello,
How do you get the nice shadowing and gradient color on the feature background area like on your live preview? Sorry if this has been addressed already, I don’t have time to search through the the 700 comments.
Thanks!
Hi Larry,
Not sure what you mean.
You can change the color of feature background area in ‘striking’->‘color’ option page.
Regards,
KaptinLin
your slider has a shadow under it and around the top and bottom edge of the feature box there is a shadow. if you go to your live preview and change the color on the color picker the shadows remain the same. see my site www.smokymtnstudios.com. my slider has no shadow??
Hi, I purchased your theme in december and put it on my site.
What happens is that LOCALLY I can see the images of the Nivo Slider but on the server I can see everything but the images coming from timthumb for the nivo slider…
I checked all… what can it be? The images point to the right folder, the site root is obviuosly right, I don’t know what to do…
Hi jumpingflash,
You may try change the permissions of the files.
1) give ‘striking/cache/’ folder with 777 permissions.
make sure ‘striking/cache/skin.css’ file is with 777 permissions
also ‘striking/cache/images/’ folder with 777.
2) give ‘striking/framework/helpers/optionGenerator.php’ with 777 or 755 or 644 permissions
also give ‘striking/includes/timthumb.php’ file with 777 or 755 or 644 permissions.
If 777 doen’s work, please try 755

KaptinLin
HI !
I don’t have a CACHE folder where you stated. I don’t have a striking/cache folder.
I have a cache folder but it is placed somewhere else.
The theme’s slider still does not show images. Can you please give me some more help?
Locally no problem, but online…. it doesn’t work.
Hi,
The folder is in /wp-content/themes/striking/cache folder.
If not, please re-install striking.
Can you give me your page link?
Regards,
KaptinLin
I am sorry but there is no CACHE folder where you stated. Neither on my online site nor in my local site (in case I forgot to upload something).
There IS a cache folder in the INCLUDES folder of the theme.
Is that it?
Anyway even setting that to 777 it doesn’t work. Can u please try to solve this thing with me? I don’t understand why it works locally and NOT on the server…
Hi,
Do you install the theme correctly?
You can learn from http://wiki.envato.com/buying/support-buying/solving-broken-theme-issues/
Maybe you can give me your page link.

KaptinLin
Just bought the theme but I can not install it. Once downloaded WP shows a failure screen with
“Are you sure you want to do this? Please try again.”
What is wrong with the theme ?
Thanks for your help.

Like verh0ef , I am interested in using WPTouch, but the shortcodes render as plain text. WPTouch says to contact the theme developer, and theme developer says to contact WPTouch. Does anyone know a workaround? I just want to hide the shortcode plain text when viewed on mobile.
@verh0ef , I would really like to know your workaround. Thank you very much for any help you care to offer.
Hi moebuzz,
if(function_exist('bnc_is_iphone')){
global $wptouch_plugin;
if(bnc_is_iphone() && $wptouch_plugin->desired_view == 'mobile'){
add_filter( 'the_content', 'strip_shortcodes' );
}
}
Maybe you can cope the code to the bottom of ‘wptouch.php’ file in the WPTouch plugin folder.
Regards,
KaptinLin
Hi kaptinlin, thank you for your help. I tried it, but the shortcodes are still rendered as plain text.
Hi,
Just put the code blow to the bottom of ‘wp-content\plugins\wptouch\themes\core\core-functions.php’ file.
add_filter( 'the_content', 'strip_shortcodes' );
Regards,
KaptinLin
Thank you. I tried it, but it still renders the shortcodes as plain text. I changed the function to remove_all_shortcodes just to test, and it removed shortcodes and content. I don’t know what the problem is. It seems like this would be a common problem for anyone using a theme’s shortcodes and a mobile theme.
yes, i think the plugin author should offer some helps to this.
Is it possible to put a video as a single slider item on another page, that is not the home page?
Or is there any other way to put a Vimeo video on a page.
Thanks
Hi blairman,
You can use slideshow in another page.
For video on slideshow you can learn from http://kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/405/how-to-include-a-video-in-the-anything-slider/p1

Handy tip for all who are upgrading the theme to a newer version. DON ”T copy the whole folder like it says in the documentation on how to upgrade!!! That will write over your old screen.css and style.css files which (if you have made changes to these) will cause you to start again if you haven’t made a backup!
Sorry for that. I will update the documentation later.
Just purchased your lovely theme. Have uploaded but I’m getting this error message when I go to activate it:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_pagenavi() (previously declared in /home/arafuras/public_html/staging/wp-content/plugins/wp-pagenavi/core.php:10) in /home/arafuras/public_html/staging/wp-content/themes/striking/framework/plugins/wp-pagenavi/wp-pagenavi.php on line 203
any ideas please?!
Hi jenij,
For striking have integrate wp pagenavi directly to the theme. You can go ‘Plugins’->‘plugin’ option page to deactive the wp pagenavi plugin. Then have a try.
Regards,
KaptinLin
Many thanks – that worked perfectly.
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated !

You are welcome!
One more thing. I would really love to have a countdown timer on the tope right of my header, just above my main navigation. http://echochurch.tv/
Hi shawngray,
There are some jquery plugins available for countdown timer.
See below:

http://www.littlewebthings.com/projects/countdown/index.php
You can intergrate them to the theme.
