Is Visual Composer for Samba going to be updated soon? I really love the new functionality of the major update

Hi,
The new version adds over 300kb of css to all pages so I’m not very happy with it, because it slows down everything. If you find any bug with the current version please let me know. Otherwise, this theme will be keeping the current VC version for now.
Cheers!

It’s not a question of bugs – I just like the new grid functionality and the content elements is offers :-) But ok…I can still deactivate the VC that comes with Samba and play around with the native plugin

Hi Pirenko,

I have managed to get some errors corrected from a previous comment, but one of the problems I’m still having is the Read More button not showing up on all posts on the Blog Page. How can I fix this?

Still haven’t received anything. Please send me a message through this page http://themeforest.net/user/Pirenko

Oh! It has been resent.

I have received it and already replied. Cheers!

Hello Pirenko, I do have a problem with the view of a single Portfolio Item. In the german language there are these special letters like äÄöÖ etc. It works all fine on the whole homepage but in the single view of a portfolio item they are replaced with weird other letters. Can you please help me to fix this problem? Cheers

Hi,
Please make sure that the font in use does support those characters. To verify that the issue is related with the font, chose the Arial font as the Body font and re-test that page.
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko. All special letters are shown on all other pages without any problems. I have tried Arial font but there was no difference unfortunately. Do you want a link to the page? Kind regards

Hi,
Please turn OFF all the plugins that are not included with the theme and try again. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation.

Hi Pirenko,

Do you plan on adding a share counter to the share buttons, in a future release?

Okay! I had a counter, but I got rid of it because I wanted to use less plugins as possible for this new theme. :)

It is up to you to decide as long as the plugin does not interfere with the theme functions. Cheers!

Thank you

Hi Pirenko,

Just a quick question on menus on the left side.

How do I create a menu item which, when clicked, only opens the sub-items? (this is what happens in your sample site, for example the item “blog” opens 3 additional subitems, but the main page doesn’t change. thanks P

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please take a look at this small article I wrote: http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2014/07/24/mastering-wordpress-menus/
Cheers :)

that ’#’ trick worked very well, thanks :)

You are welcome ;)

Hi Pirenko, I have bought the samba theme. Is it possible to have the Half width layout Portfolio but without the right info panel (Date and Skills)?? I tried to adjust the single-pirenko_portfolios.php but I couldn’t find the right line in the code. Is that the right file anyway? Thanks for help.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Instead of editing the PHP file why don’t you just add some custom CSS code to hide it? Send me a private message if you still have trouble. Cheers!

Worked fine. Thank you

You are welcome :)

Greetings,

Any update soon? WPBakery Visual Composer plugin asking update but unable to do it.

Thanks

Hi,
Skip that message permanently and let me know if you find any bug with the current version. Cheers!

Hi

I am wondering how can I add the social links at the bottom of the left column as I can see in this screenshot:

http://www.pirenko.com/no_erasing/samba/samba-top.jpg (1st screenshot)

I was looking for it but I couldn’t find at the Samba Options…

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Than you for purchasing!
That is a widget ready area so it can be managed under Appearance>Widgets. The widget in use is Samba Social Links.
Cheers :nerdy:

So easy! Thanks a lot!

You are welcome :)

Hi Pirenko, I am having a problem with my author pages. I click on an authors latest posts tab in the author box (See All Posts), and it leads me to a list of articles that the author did not write. Its weird because the permalink is correct for the authors permalink.

Another issue I’m having is the author box being cut off. I have to reload the page for it to show correctly.

Hi,
Please send me a private message with a link so that I can analyze both situations. Cheers!

I’m seeing a lot of plugins so please turn them all OFF and try again. Try also one of the default WP Themes to see if the problem is only with Samba. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation.
Cheers :)

Hi man! I got a problem with the Home section of my website. When I click the button Load More Posts, it repeats the same content and doesn’t load the older posts, Here’s my site: http://mancomani.com/

Appreciate all the help

Hi,
Please turn OFF all the plugins that are not included with the theme and try again. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation.

In Blog Options, there is not a template for Grid layout-only Classic and Masonry shows. But when I go to the blog page, I can assign the page to use the grid layout and it doesn’t work. I want the blog page to show three columns like in the demo. What am I doing wrong?

Perhaps I need to reinstall WooCommerce. I installed it from a previous theme.

Hi, the documentation can be found on the main file package (so make sure you are not downloading only the theme). As for WooCommerce there are no known issues with it. Cheers!

Okay

I created a menu for my blog categories, and have assigned colors to those categories. I go to the blog, but there is only one color for all of the categories. How can I make the theme use the colors I have set?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! According to the theme preview content and to the theme documentation you can’t assign colors to categories. You can do this for pages, posts, portfolio items and team members.
Cheers!

So I would have to pick a color for each blog post; individually?

Hi,
If you want them to have different colors yes. Otherwise they will assume the theme “Active color” that you set up under Samba Options>General Tab.
Cheers!

Hi Again,, this is Hammad… So I asked for clients login details.. here I am again with same question

is it possible to have no BG on Navigation on the first page only? when I enable Ajax it makes all pages with transparent Navigation BG

Hi,
Thank you for the message using the purchaser account. This does sound possible to implement, but it requires some lines of css code at least. Send me a private message with a link and we’ll see if it is possible.
Cheers :)

On the slider, can the text stay static? I have the same text on my slides but when the slide fade in and out, I want the text not to fade, just be static.

Hi,
Try adding this code under Samba Options>Custom Scripts>Custom CSS:
.flexslider .headings_body,.flexslider .headings_top { left: 0px !important; opacity: 1 !important; }
Cheers ;)

ahhh…worked like a charm. Thanks

You are welcome ;)

I am setting this theme for my client, is it possible to have no BG on Navigation on the first page only? when I enable Ajax it makes all pages with transparent Navigation BG

Well, all enquiries must be placed with the account that bought the theme. You can ask for support here or via PM. Cheers!

fair enough.. thanks… ill let them know

Thank you for understanding :)

Hi,

I am really considering purchasing this theme, but I have one question. Is it possible to disable the theme credit: Samba for WordPress by Pirenko?

Hi, yes of course… It is one of the theme options. Thanks :)

Awesome! :) Thank you as well, Pirenko.

Hello Pirenko, i want to buy this theme but i am wondering if instead of a white background i can set image slider?

let me know.

Hi,
Thank you for your interest! If you are talking about the background of the website that is visible on all pages the answer is no. If you are talking about a different feature please try to explain more clearly. Cheers!

Yes i mean the cackgtound that is visible on all pages. thank you for your answer.

You are welcome here :)

Hi Pirenko!

Sorry for bothering you again. I encountered a problem using caching plugins. Whenever I try to set up a caching plugin, photos keep disappearing from my portfolio carousel as the image links get corrupted. I tried several plugins – even the W3 Total Cache you’re using. As soon as I deactivate the plugin, everything works fine.

Do you have any idea about why this happens?

Check it out – umbertofederico.de

Hi,
Not really. It should have to do with some server or plugin settings. On my server I have the plugin default settings. Cheers!

Well I use the same plugin and settings you’re using and still get the problem. :(

Well contact the plugin developer or your hosting company then. Thanks!

Hello,

I have seen a few other people mention this but no suggestions to fix. All of our Google maps are showing some default location no matter what latitude and longitude we use.

Hi,
Are you using the latest theme version? If not please update it and also the bundled plugins. Turn OFF all the other plugins that you may have for a moment too.
I just tested it locally and it seems to be fine. Can you tell me the values that you are using? Please reply here so that everyone knows what is the problem on your side.
Cheers :)

Hello, After doing some additional research and testing, it appears as though visual composer needed an update to 4.4.1 and this is what was causing the issue.

So to anyone else with issues, do try to update all of your plugins not just the main theme!

Thank you for your feedback :)

Hi,

i have the “accordion-problem” Using an acc in Woocommerce has an hover-effect on the headbar, so the headline disappears…its only in Woocommerce… i saw that some people had the same issue. So, whats the solution?!

Thank You! Chris

Hi,
As far as I know here’s no “accordion-problem” as long as there’s no plugin conflicting with the theme styles. Please turn OFF all the plugins that are not included with the theme and try again. If you still have trouble send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze this situation.
Cheers :)

...i did.
