Hi, I like this your work and am tempted to purchase this, but have couple of question, does it have a client signup and log in, if so can a photo gallery be assigned to each specific client for review and no possibility to right click and copy the images? thanks.

I believe there will be plugins out there that allow you to do these things, these features aren’t a part of our theme.

You can create a password protected page for each client and use Storm’s portfolio shortcode to only display images for that client on the page. You should create a Portfolio Category for each client and only select this category when inserting the portfolio shortcode to ensure they see only photos assigned to them. See this page for how to set up a portfolio.

You can install the plugin No Right Click Images to prevent them copying them but they can still access the images through other means. You might want to watermark them before uploading.

Hello, I just bought the theme and am loving it so far. I just have one question, my website has full screen video from vimeo. Is it possible to mute the audio or use a different one? Also, I read the documentation and was not too clear on the adding php to do random videos. Could you be more specific? thank you

Hi, sorry for the delay.

You will need to edit the file wp-content\themes\storm\js\scripts.js on line 178 replace this code:

videoMute = $.cookie('tcrVideoMute') === 'mute',

With this:

videoMute = true,

Regards, TC

It worked!! thank you, Now how about the doing random videos? Thank you so much!

Add the code from the “Set up random videos” section to the theme functions.php file. Each block starting with array and ending with a closing bracket corresponds with one video in the pool that will be randomly chosen from.

array(
    'url' => 'http://vimeo.com/45878034',
    'autostart' => true,
    'complete' => 'restart',
    'width' => 1920,
    'height' => 1080,
    'start' => 0
),

So add or remove the array blocks so that you have one block for each video you want to randomly show. Then change the url between the single quotes on the first line inside each array block to the video URL, and change the other parameters below that to suit. Hope this helps.

HI,

I am getting ready to purchase this theme but I need to make sure that a 4 column footer can be added to each page/post. Is this possible? I have looked around at other referenced sites that use this template but I have not seen any.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is no out-the-box solution with Storm. But yes, it could be done by changing the theme template.

If you could let me know where exactly where you need this I could advise you as to what work would be required.

You could add a widget area to the template or just write the HTML in directly. You would be best to create a new page template for this and back it up in case you need to update.

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

Since I have updated to Wordpress 4 the background images does not appear anymore. Moreover, the 2 buttons in the footer does not work. Here my website: http://www.alexisvacher.com/

I have already overwrited the files thanks to the changelog information and try to disabled all the plugins. Please, could you have a look on this issue? Thank you for your support.

The slider on the “Video” tab does not work anymore… Maybe a jQuery issue. Thank you.

Hi

It looks like you have fixed these issues, it works for me anyway. Let us know if you still need any help.

Hi, I just purchased this theme but every time I try to upload an image I get the following error:

“An error occurred uploading the file. You may find more information in the browser console.”

Hi

Could you try deactivating all other plugins and try again?

If this doesn’t work could you please send over administrator login details and your admin URL to the contact form on my profile page.

If you’d prefer not to send us the main account login, you can create a temporary user account just for us with the “Administrator” role, which you can then delete when we have resolved your problem.

Hi, Is the extension SEO by Yoast really compatible with Storm or or is it really necessary in Storm !!

Thank you !!

Denis

Hi, sorry for the delay

If you are new to SEO the Yoast plugin is a good place to start. If you know what you are doing you can work without out, or use a simpler SEO plugin. Storm should be compatible, if you encounter any issues we are here to help.

HI, I purchased this theme but just realised that it is not a responsive design and when the browser window is resized the menu width does not adjust. It also does not allow horizontal scroll. Is there any intention of releasing a responsive theme update or workaround to show a horizontal scroll bar?

Thanks

Hi, sorry for the delay

Storm isn’t responsive and we aren’t planning to release a responsive update. Though we have tested it on devices and it’s working for us. Horizontal scrolling is working for us, does this happen for you on the demo site? Could you post a link to a page where it doesn’t work and tell me what device/browser it’s not working on?

Regards, TC

Hi, thank you for your reply. I tried the demo and it also doesn’t show horizontal scroll bars when the window is resized (IE9, Chrome v38, Firefox v32) but I checked the CSS and the width of the content is 940px so ok for even smaller monitors. I also checked on my mobile phone and the whole page resizes so all the menu and content is viewable. Therefore it may be suitable after all.

Hi,

Maybe you could try adding the fix below. Just to make sure the site is viewable in all cases.

@media only screen and (max-width: 940px) {
  #outside {
     overflow: visible;
  }
  #header-inner {
     width: 100%;
  }
}

Hi, About quform: I have a special case for adding a form with file upload. Is there a way to overwrite the current file that has been uploaded, instead or having it renamed?

ex: filename.jpg when reuploaded at the same day I get 1_filename.jpg.

I would like it to keep the exact same name, if I could.

Thank you!

Nevermind.. I figured it out. :)

Hi I like your theme,

I have only one question:

Can I create multiple galleries video in full screen for different pages?

Hi

You can have a single background video for a page, and you can set a different video for each page.

There isn’t a full screen video gallery. You can have multiple galleries on different pages, the videos are showing in lightbox popup, only the images are full screen.

Regards, TC

Hi

I have some sub sub menus on my site and they are disappearing behind the content. How do I make them show above the content.

You can see here

http://lawrencewalsh.co.uk/collection/classical-collection/

Is this not the best place to post questions?

Sorry for the delay. Add this code in Theme Options -> Advanced -> Custom CSS:

#header-outer {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
}

Regards, TC

Thanks that worked.

Hello,

Quick question, if there are any updates available, how do I get them ? Directly from the admin panel on my site or should I download the whole theme again and replace some of the files ?

Thanks !

We have an update guide here. Changelog is here. We added child theme support in the last update so this is the best way to do it to avoid modifying any of the core theme files.

Regarding alphabetical order. Hello. Great theme. This is my first homepage, so i am a total Rookie!

All my pictures and videos is now in alphabetical order. I´d like to turn that off, and instead have the oldest last and the newest first. I am aware of the box in the optionspanel were to put the uploads in order with numbers, but cant make it work.

How do I turn the alphabetical order Off?

And for example at the moment i have 30 something youtubevideolinks on my page you can watch, – is it possible to put them all in the order oldest last and newest first, without re-uploading them??

Thanks.

Hello again. I have never created a shortcode (I think) prior to uploading pictures or vidoes, because I simply dont know how to do that. As written im a total rookie. I link the videos from my youtube account and uploading the pictures to the picture “vault” (if you will..) and putting them on the page. I see the shortcode button though. but not the ´Order by´ opportunity. so I guess my answer to your question must be no, and Im lost because I still dont know were to go from here?

Hi,

If you click the Shortcode button then choose Portfolio, you will see the options for generating the shortcode there. Is the Order by option shown?

Regards, TC

I´ve sent you an email instead with a screenshot from the backend, to be sure that we are seing the same, and therefore hopefully are talking about the same :)

Hi nice theme…its possible to insert the rows (left / right) centered on the page (left side and right side)? the rows in the footer now not more visible. Thanks

rows = arrows :)

There isn’t a built in option for it, but if you are good with CSS you can probably change their position with CSS to make them fixed at the sides.

Regards, TC

Wondering if this theme supports AdSense (header 728×90 leaderboard + smaller square ads).

Thanks! -James

There isn’t anything built in to specifically support it, but if you put the AdSense code into an area that is large enough for it, it should work.

Regards, TC

Hi ThemeCatcher, Is it possible to change the colours of the menu? For example having the menu background white not black? Can I change them by using the admin panel? Thank you

Hi,

There is an image located in wp-content/themes/storm/images/header.png. You could change this image to a new color and re-save it. This will not change the actual navigation bar wrapper, only the header. The navigation is a little more work.

Regards, TC

Where do I find my license number for this product that I purchased?

Follow the steps in the link below but download the certificate for the Storm theme instead of Quform shown in the picture.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is it possible to remove the Module Carousel from the top of single posts? Thanks! Great theme, BTW!

I’m not exactly sure what you mean, could you post a link to a page containing the the Module Carousel on top of the single posts?

When I’m doing the SEO on my home page I can’t my keywords into the URL. Can I get around this someway

See this page to enable permalinks, you can edit the Slug of the page when editing each page. The home page will not have any keywords in the URL, so not sure what you mean here.

Hello I want to make the sidebar slimmer, can that be done.

Hi.

I wouldn’t strongly advise this change for the reason that other page elements within the content area may now not be the correct widths. However, it depends what content you are using on your site. You are welcome to give it a shot…

In the Theme Options – Advanced – Custom CSS. Add this CSS.

.right-sidebar #content, .left-sidebar #content {width: 712px;}
#sidebar {width: 150px;}

Let me know how if works OK, or if you need any more assistance.

Regards, TC

Thanks’s for your help
