Hi

I have the same issue as ChrisSan (comment above); it is asking me to update Visual Composer or enter my licence key. I have had the theme for quite a long time now and it has never done this before. Additionally, recent updates have seemed to conflict with the theme which has meant that HTML code started to appear on the web pages. Really not sure what the problem is – any help / ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, about the VC license: it is appearing on more recent versions. Please disregard that message. If you have some HTML code related error please send me a private message with a link. Thanks!

hello there,

I’m getting messages that I need to update Visual Composer for the theme and its asking for a licence if I want an update, with all the alerts on security from Themeforest about plugins and wordpress I would like to make sure that the site is uptodate, i would be most grateful for the update of Visual Composer or how to get it to update without having to buy the plugin.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! You don’t need to update Visual Composer and you don’t need to buy any license. Nevertheless I can’t provide any license, because the theme already includes a special license for redistribution.
About security issues: please make sure that you are using the latest theme version and you are good to go :)
Cheers!

They should make it with out the page asking for the information, Thank you very much.

I agree with you and I hope there’s a way to address this in the future. Thanks!

another fail again.

Hi,
That line of code does not have any division so please make sure that you are using the theme and bundled plugins original file system. If you are already please send me a private message with a link.
Thanks!

Hello,

I’m thinking of purchasing the theme, but there is one thing missing I really need. An “Events”-feature. Do you happen to know if there is an good plugin that works well with this theme ?

Regards, Sebastiano

Hi, I never tested with enough depth, but I know that some people are using this free plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
Cheers!

hi my site not working after updating theme

please check

http://ketanrafaliya.com

Hi,
It seems that you have not updated the bundled plugins and there are some new PHP functions that require that update.
If you can’t do this please send me a private message with the WP login and I’ll take care of that. Cheers :)

can you give me your email id so i can send you user id and password detail

Please send me a message through the form on this page http://themeforest.net/user/Pirenko
Thanks!

Hi,

That can not be the problem. I have an update from Samba 4.5 performed on 4.7. With all the plugins.

Hi,
In that case please send me a private message with the WP login details so that I can analyze the content. Thanks!

Hi Pirenko,

after updating to Samba 4.7, the entire contents will not be centered (max-width: 1200px). I use on all pages (page with sections). Here the URL of my website: http://www.stefanie-ahlbrecht.de/

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Please make sure that you also update the Samba Framework. Also, it seems that you are coming from a version prior to version 4.0 so please check this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UnUZAW1go&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV&index=11
Cheers!

Hey Pirenko! I hope all is well.

I recently bought this theme and installed it myself but I am missing a lot of page templates…. It doesn’t have the home page, shop, and a few others.

Help me?

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! The “home page” template is called “Page – Fullscreen Slider”. As for the shop you must install the free WooCommerce plugin. What are the “few others”?
Cheers!

Hi Pirenko

I have a PRE-SALES question. I am liking your theme very much and after reading through the comments, your support is impressive!

My questions: 1. Have you adapted the Image Accordion in VC, or is it the original version that comes with the VC extra add-ons bundle?

2. Is it possible to add a block of html text to each image in the accordion, currently there is only the title and what looks like the category?

Thank you R

Hi,
No, because this slider is connected to the portfolio items. It shows only the portfolio title and skills. Thanks!

Ok, thanks. You said it could link to other pages – could I make a full width Revolution slider page and link that so it appears inside the accordion? Thanks :-)

Sorry – did you mean: link it OUT to other pages?

Yes, I meant “link it out” so you can’t put anything else inside those panels. Cheers!

Hello Pirenko,

I have three problems with the theme:

1.- I’m trying to add scripts to a blog post (google adsense) using the “Pure HTML” and “Pure JS” block in the Backend Editor, but when I do this, the script (advertising) doesn’t load when I move between pages/posts. I need to enter directly to the blog post URL or reload the actual page for the script to show. Is there a way to make the theme show the script every time?

2.- I’ve created a Menu with colors that has one sub-menu (with colors also) in one of the items linking to the categories of the blog. I’m trying to make the theme show the color of the post category no matter what part of the theme am I. Let me rephrase that, when I enter a post that has a category color (blue) and the menu is in some item with a specific color (red) then the post shows the top bar (the one that has the social icons) in the category color, blue, and the quotes inside the post with the menu color, red. How can I make the theme shows only the post category color?

3.- The last inconvenient is about the featured image inside the blog post. At first the image was too big, occupying the entire screen. So I reduced the space where the images goes vertically. But now, I have the problem that only rectangular images fit “well”. How can I make the theme resize the images within this space without stretching them?

I would appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Here are my comments:
1) Please try turning OFF the Ajax load feature. You can read more about this on the theme documentation;
2) I don’t understand your question… Anyway, if you think you found a bug please send me a private message with a link and an explanation. If you want to change/customize the theme color scripting you need to edit the js/main.js file;
3) You can add some custom CSS to limit the image width. As an alternative you can use the theme option to “Skip the featured image on single posts” and then create whatever content you want using Visual Composer;
Cheers!

Thanks! already solved two of the problems.

Another thing, my site has a the sharing bar on (heart, facebook, twitter, etc.) and it works just fine on pcs, but when I go to the mobile version, the bar dissapears. I can only see the X button and the Arrows. Is there a way to make the sharing bar appear on mobiles?

Hi,
I have decided to hide that on mobile, because there’s not enough space. If you have something specific in mind please send me a private message with a screenshot. Maybe I will implement it on a future theme update.
Cheers :)

Hi,
Where did you buy the theme?

Hi,
Please place all the enquiries with the purchasers account. Thanks!

Hello there, Is it possible to modify the social icons in the menu column to introduce some customized ones?

Hi,
Thank you for reaching us! That part is a widgetized area so you can add whatever content you may need.
That particular widget is one of the custom ones that the theme offers and it has more social icons available too.
Send me a private message if you decide to buy the theme and need help with this.
Cheers ;)

Hi Pirenko, I have the Ajax load option turn on. I would like to keep this option on because I find menu has better behaviour whith this option on. But the problem is that disrupt the Theme image Galleries loading . So I would like to turn off this Ajax load option only on specific pages that contain a Theme image Gallery. I read in these comments that you can force a specific page to refresh by adding the class “regular_load” to its specific menu button. So that’s what I did. But it has no effect. I wonder if you have a solution. Thanks a lot for your help. And I want to say again that I find your work is super ! Adna

Hi, i like your theme and would like to ask a question before i buy it.

I intend to make a music blog out of this theme, and use the grid blog look.

With that said, could i use the “Fullwidth audio player” plugin, and have this at the bottom. And since the posts are loaded with ajax, would this enable this player to play continuously? and not break up while other posts are being visited?

Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your interest! I can’t ensure this, because I never tested that plugin. Cheers :)

whenever i try to edit a page it enters to an unending loop and crashes. started just after the wordpress update.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!
I don’t have this problem on my local install (WordPress 4.2.0) so please make sure that you are also using the latest theme version.
Also 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 :)

hi, please update your wp to 4.0.3

I don’t understand this comment. Can you please explain what you are saying?

Hello,

Trying to update Page Custom Options, but when I click “Update” the change doesn’t take effect. For example I selected the checkbox to Autoplay the slideshow, but after I click “Update” the change is not saved.

Thanks!

Hi , i am using Samba version 3.1 , because i did not update since last year the samba theme .

I downloaded last version from themeforest , and i replaced it in old version , but some plugins i can’t update (“The following plugin needs to be updated to its latest version to ensure maximum compatibility with this theme: Samba Framework. The update is located on the theme root folder inside the external_plugins folder.”) , and i am seeing many errors in every page .

So my question is how can i update from 3.1 to latest , is any different way to do that , or which files to replace .

Have a nice day !

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! Please check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-UnUZAW1go&index=10&list=PLWiviR4wWrsEwB95voMUNiVIqJma9xNmV and also the next one about “Updating Bundled Plugins”.
Send me a private message if you need help with this. Cheers :)

Hi Pirenko, In the Samba Options/Blog section there is a box to tick to show previous and next post links and it says: “Will be displayed after the post content.” When I tick that box, nothing shows up under my blog posts.

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing!

Hi, is it possible to create a page template for me. I am using Theme Image Gallery instead of portfolio to display all my images (200+ of them)

The page template must be in full width and full height Looks something like (http://www.pirenko.com/samba/masonry-portfolio/).

Hi,
You can’t have a load more button with an image gallery. You need to create portfolio entries for this and if you want these to be separated from your “regular” portfolio simply use a specific skill for these entries.
Cheers!

But VC 4.5.1 has this feature under media masonry grid element. http://vc.wpbakery.com/features/grid-builder/ can you push this update with the samba theme ?

Hi,
The latest versions of VC are really heavy and they slow down the whole loading process. I have removed some of the new elements because of this.
If you want send me a private message and I’ll send you a version with those elements active. Cheers!

Hi there,

Great theme. I have one question. I want the left hand footer menu to be 100px from the bottom but still be sticky when the browser is resized. How do I amend this?

Thanks, Greig

Hi,
Thank you for purchasing! I’m not sure about what you want to do here. Please send me a private message with an annotated screenshot. Cheers :)
