Hello, good tutorials but one question for you to think about. In Black Bird theme setting, Appearance * Customize * General Settings * Home page top right contact info, if you type your full address, there is no way to line break and give paragraph spacing. I’ve been searching for a while but couldn’t find an answer. Do you have any knowledge on this?
Hi!
For support, please contact from the account you have made the purchase. Thank you.
Thanks!
Hello, I’m testing it on Localhost, so could you please enlighten me before making purchase.
Hi!
Are you testing our theme on localhost, if you haven’t bought it as it turned out?
Thanks!
Help!
I have your theme “Blackbird” on my site www.lifeperksforhealth.com. Because of some problem with the plugin called “contact form 7” which you suggest to install, I can no longer access my dashboard to make changes in my site. If you go to www.lifeperksforhealth.com/wp-admin you will see these error messages.
Warning: include(/home2/lifeperk/public_html/medicaresupplement/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/xml.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/lifeperk/public_html/medicaresupplement/wp-config.php on line 77
Warning: include(): Failed opening ’/home2/lifeperk/public_html/medicaresupplement/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/xml.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/opt/php54/lib/php’) in /home2/lifeperk/public_html/medicaresupplement/wp-config.php on line 77

This is mission critical as because of this issue it has made weird changes to the actual plugins and how they are displayed on the site. This occurred when I updated the theme and the plugin. Can you please help asap?
Thank you for your prompt assistance,

Dear, I put two scrolling on a page but it only works one is the type of http://blackbird.weblionmedia.com/pages/about-us-page-style-2/ As I can do it? Regards
Please reply with the page where you are using the scrollings. Thank you.
Dear Any suggestions?Regards
Hello,
Edit the file ”\blackbird\functions\shortcodes.php” and find this function code:
function custom_scroll_f($atts, $cont = null){
$str = '';
$str .= '<div id="custom_scroll_1" class="block_our_features_1">
<div class="content">
<ul>' . do_shortcode($cont) .'</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function() {
init_custom_scroll("#custom_scroll_1", 145);
});
</script>
</div>';
return $str;
}
Replace with the below one:
function custom_scroll_f($atts, $cont = null){
$str = '';
$unique_id = uniqid();
$str .= '<div id="custom_scroll_'.$unique_id.'" class="block_our_features_1">
<div class="content">
<ul>' . do_shortcode($cont) .'</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(window).load(function() {
init_custom_scroll("#custom_scroll_'.$unique_id.'", 145);
});
</script>
</div>';
return $str;
}

I am planning to buy Blackbird WP theme today, but i have small issue here. I just figure out that the theme picture that showing on Item Details tab is not the WP theme layout, but HTML5 theme (see the different beetwen header style). Was trying to change the header style (style 1-4) on your blackbird WP demo page, but nothing happen.
My question : is it possible to change the header style, so it look like the Header Style 1 on HTML5 theme?
this is ‘a must’ thing, because my boss does not liked Blackbird WP Header Style
Hello,
Yes it is possible. This is a screenshot with header styles from Theme Options: http://c2n.me/3llOnpl.png
And this is a screenshot with footer styles: http://c2n.me/3llOB8c.png

2) Edit the “archive.php” and remove this code:
global $paged;
if( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ):
$my_page = get_query_var( 'paged' );
else:
if( get_query_var( 'page' ) ):
$my_page = get_query_var( 'page' );
else:
$my_page = 1;
endif;
set_query_var( 'paged', $my_page );
$paged = $my_page;
endif;
$posts_per_page = $blackbird_data['blog_posts_items_count'];
query_posts(array('posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page, 'paged' => $paged, 'post_type' => array('portfolio','post'), 'tag' => get_query_var('tag') ));
3) Contact page template does not have sidebars. You can create a page and use the ‘Contact Form 7’ plugin and there you can assign additional sidebars.
Or – edit the files contact-style1.php, contact-style2.php, contact-style3.php and add
<?php get_sidebar('blog_style1'); ?>
inside the div:
<div class="contact_info">
...
</div>

Hi, I download the Version 1.5 but I do not know how to install it
Hi,
Download the zipped package from ThemeForest and extract to your desktop. In the extracted package you will find blackbird.zip file which is the WordPress theme. You can install the theme in two ways:
1. WordPress: Navigate to Appearance -> Add New Themes -> Upload page. Select blackbird.zip file. Press the Install Now button to upload and install the theme;
2. FTP: Extract blackbird.zip file and upload the extracted folder to /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server. Navigate to Appearance -> Themes and activate BlackBird theme.
Once you have activated the theme you will need to change some of the pages and media settings for optimal performance. Follow the steps below and you will be adding content in no time.

Hi, i like this wonderful theme. when i downloaded it, i found 2 versons, one is 34.3MB, and the other is for wordpress and only around 4mb. what is the difference? i found many features missing, like add new page has only some simple features on page option, is it because i downloaded the wordpress version (the 4mb smaller one) on WP dashboard? thx.
Hi,
The file with 34.3 MB is the full archive with PSD files, documentation.
The file with 4 MB is the only theme that you can install.
Please send a screenshot and more details about missing features. Thank you.

Hi, i have problem with products loading. www.greatcarbide.com. We have many products to display( four main catagories and quite a few small catagories of each main), i made breadcrumb by building 4 pages under products. and now when i add new portfolio, the product appear in all these 4 pages, so how to limit product A to show only on breadcrumb A page? i would like to use portfolio rather than plugin coz your template is really awesome. thx
HI, noted to add this feature to BlackBird theme.
Hi, thanks for reply. when will u add it? do i need to buy this feature after u add it? how can i use the new feature ?coz i donnot know much about php and waiting for your change. i will definitely buy your other templates coz really awesome designs. Waiting for ur reply.
Hi,
You will be able to download new update via your user account on ThemeForest in “Downloads” section, is not need to buy theme again. The easiest method is to upload all new files to your ”/wp-content/themes/blackbird/” folder. I will try to finish the new update in 1-2 weeks.
Best regards,
Weblionmedia

HAPPY NEW YEAR. I’m sorry for delay, I got cold and was unavailable. Added new feature for Portfolio pages to assign the page to portfolio category. Uploaded the theme to ThemeForest. You will be notified when it will be approved after review by TF team. Thank you for your patience.
Hope u got fully recovered and thanks for update. But i uploaded the new files ( 4.1mb wordpress version) to the folder u said, but seems nothing changed. where do i assign the catagories to different pages, i think maybe i look at the wrong places. thx
I’m better now, thank you.
Go to “Theme Options > Portfolio” and find the section “Assign Portfolio Page to a Category”, There you will see all your Portfolio pages. Assign a category for each needed Portfolio page.

Hello,
Are you using the Version 1.4(Released 09 September, 2014)?
Weblionmedia
Yes, Version 1.4 released 09 September, 2014
Hello,
I found how to fix this issue. Edit the file ”/functions/shortcodes.php” and find this code:
add_shortcode('partners', 'partners');
function partners($atts, $cont = null) {
$str = '';
$str .= '<div class="block_partners_1"><h3>Our Partners</h3><ul>';
$str .= do_shortcode($cont);
$str .= '</ul></div>';
return $str;
}
Replace it with this one:
add_shortcode('partners', 'partners');
function partners($atts, $cont = null) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'title' =>''
), $atts));
$str = '';
$str .= '<div class="block_partners_1"><h3>'.$title.'</h3><ul>';
$str .= do_shortcode($cont);
$str .= '</ul></div>';
return $str;
}

Hello,
I have tested on your site to send an email with a simple mail function and it doesn’t send. You can try to install the plugin Contact From 7 to check if you are able to send emails, If you will receive emails in this case, then you don’t have restrictions.
Best regards, Weblionmedia
