Quick question: Sumsault noticed the IE8 issue of the theme being stuck in mobile mode. Has this been resolved? Please PM me or email u.iserloh [at] brightlaunch.com

Thanks, uli

Hi,

We really like the theme, and we’ve just finished using it in a project. We have run into a problem where the site will only load in IE8 using the mobile style. Other browsers seem to work fine, however IE8 seems stuck in mobile. We tested this with the demo linked on themeforest, and noticed it worked the same.

Is there any way to make it default to a desktop style? The ‘default to mobile’ option does not work for our content. Not to mention everything is scrunched to a thin bar down the middle of the screen.

Thanks, -Ryan

Hi, yes the issue has been solved – make sure you transition to the new theme version (backup your theme options first).

Just wanted to leave a review here! The theme is just gorgeous and it’s very easy to work with. I love how the theme makes all of my photography stand out. I used it for a food blog/meal planning business, and Liviu quickly responded to my messages in order to help me customize it for that purpose. I’ve had so many compliments on the website design, and Liviu has been extremely helpful and timely in addressing my questions. Highly recommended!

Thank you, I appreciate your comment very much. Glad I could be of help.

Hello,

I purchased this theme a few months ago (through my graphic designer’s account) and I really love it so far! However, I just wanted to know if I could make 2 relatively minor adjustments:

1) I would like to display my blog archives list on my webpage. However, when I do so, every single little update and edit I’ve made to the website shows up in the archive. I want the archive to reflect my blog posts only, and only on the original date of posting…like a normal blog archive. How do I do this?

2) I would like to rename the “Work” section to “Latest Creations”. Also, I would like to simplify the Work posts and get rid of the “Overview” “Features” and other stuff that’s in there. Essentially, I just want each Work post to be a blank page template in which I can place a simple image and a link. That’s it.

Hopefully you can point me in the right direction.

Thanks, Jessica

Hi Jessica, thanks for the purchase – please send me the purchase code through a private message. I’ll continue support via email.

Hi there,

The portfolio page gives me a 404 error. I choose the portfolio template on the right, and I imported the demo content.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks and regards

Never mind I figured it out. I had to choose a Base category.

Alright, glad you found a solution.

I would like the “WORK” section on the home page to be blog articles instead. How can I do this? I know it will take modifying the php files and arrays. Thanks!

Hi, for any additional work customizing the theme please drop me a message via my profile’s contact page and we’ll discuss the changes further via email.

Hello, I saw in a previous comment that there is a way to increase the logo size. Can you tell me how. Thanks so much.

Hi, the solution for a bigger header size is to use Custom CSS to tweak it manually yourself (that’s what I suggested to my other client). The theme does not offer a feature/setting for this – so if you don’t have sufficient CSS knowledge then hire a web developer that can help out.

I’m willing to play with the code. Can you you tell me where to stat? :)

Alright, take a look at the style.css for entries of #logo h1, #logo h1 a img and #menu a.

Hi Liviu,

Theme looks great. I just have a question regarding the blog page. Is there any other format available other than the one presented in the demo?

The posts in the demo are not aligned (they get misaligned depending on the length of the article above). I’m just wondering if there’s an other layout to choose from in the admin.

Thanks mate!

Hi, thank you for your interest. There are 2 layout available for the blog page: with text outside the thumbnail and text inside the thumbnail (just like the portfolio page). Hope this helps.

I just want to say that this is a terrific theme that is either out-of-the-box easy and beautiful to use or highly customizable to get it to work for your needs. Liviu is terrific, answers questions quickly, and is highly responsive to any issues you might have during implementation and build out.

If I had more thumbs, I would give 2+ thumbs up!

Thank you Chris, I really appreciate your comment!

Hi Ryan, thanks for your purchase and appreciation. IE browser is a strange browser and when it comes to media queries (selectors used for determining the screen size) it lacks basic support and behaves unexpectedly. I will look into this and get back to you via email – I saw you sent me a private message and will continue support by email.

Hi, I purshased this theme and I’m really happy about it except that when the isotop filter is applied, the link related to the item doesn’t always seem to follow (blog items and portfolio items). Sometimes, it’s the link from the previous item that was shown at the place of the new item that is remaining. I don’t know if my explanation is good enough ?

Would it be possible to fix this please ?

Please, let me know.

Thanks

Hi thank you for your purchase. Please get in touch with me via my profile’s contact form – send me a preview URL of your site. I’ll do my best to help out and continue support by email.

I would like to add a ‘testimonial’ of sorts as there is no way of doing so when you rate the product.

I’ve had the theme for a little while now and am still working on it before ‘live’, but the theme is the quickest theme I have ever seen. A lot of WP themes get bogged down with tons of Jquery and sliders, and widgets, and features, and…....so on. Not Clean Gold. It’s not just responsive – it’s ultra responsive, I cannot believe how optimised this theme is. It’s superb to use, easy to navigate, easy to work with, clear & concise and unbelievably laid out. Liviu has thought of pretty much everything with the admin CP and the layout of the theme and then the full design itself, of course.

As for Liviu, what a true gent he is and has the patience of a saint :) If you require help or have any questions he is always incredibly prompt – efficient, polite and very clear with instructions.

I have had to customise the theme quite a bit to ‘my’ needs if you will, and whilst I’ve managed most of it, there have been one or two instances where I have had to ask for some help with a few things and Liviu has been very patient, and has responded to every single email/question. Remarkable.

I had to customise a lot without damaging his work here, and at times I felt a tad cheeky by doing so, as the theme is beautiful as is.. but even so I did need to change some things and I also had a feature that I added but couldn’t get to work correctly, Liviu asked for access and fixed the issue within a few hours !! Superb.

So, Liviu thank you so very much for your wonderful theme, superb support and for being so very patient with me and probably helping a few others no doubt. :D

For anyone else considering buying the theme for your site? You will not regret it – it’s worth every single penny, in fact it is genuinely worth a heck of a lot more than what it’s currently up for in my honest opinion.

Superb theme, superb support, what more can you ask for!?

Thank you mate.

Wow, I appreciate your comment so much. You have been a great client and it’s a pleasure to work with people like you. Glad I could be of help and don’t hesitate to drop me a message if you need any support. Thank you!

Hi, can we add more photos in the Portfolio detail page? I only saw a maximum of 2 in the demo. Thanks.

Hi, you can add as many as you like – there is no limit in the administration panel.

Hello :)

Nice theme! My client bought this and we need to know the best dimensions for photos using the “simple slider” ?

Thank you ! Matt

Hi, the standard image size is 940×480 – but you can choose to deactivate this option (Theme Options > Home Page > Resize Homepage Slider Images) and have any image size you like. For further questions please contact me via my profile contact form from the buyer’s profile.

Ok, great. Thanks !!

Hi Thanks for a very nice theme we have been trying to do the translation from english to spanish via the standard way however there a theme related words that we for some reason cannot change such as: ADDITIONAL INFO and in all info in the contact formula, Posted on, SEARCH – in the searchbox,(more) (the read more link in the blog excerpts )... we have tried to fix all detalis with codestyling plugin…but without succes. Best Regards Eoolk

Hi, thank you for your purchase. All strings are translatable, you can find them in the default.po file. Maybe you are not using the latest version of the theme, please update if not 1.1.3 (currently). Send me a message via my profile http://themeforest.net/user/liviu_cerchez#contact and I’ll continue support via email.

on your preview page, you have the three icons with text under the CALL TO ACTION area. How do I achieve this? Can you point me in the right direction. If easiest, just copy/paste the code for this and tell me where to insert it!

Hi, use the Features Columns in the Home Page in Theme Options to edit that section.

Hi Liviu,

We are still loving this amazing theme! 5 stars to you all the way. I hope you can help with a few questions:

1) Could you give me an example of how to use the Google Map on the contact page? I can get it to work on the desktop version of the site, but because the Google Maps “share” link provides a definite height and width, the map appears enormous on the iPhone version of the site.

2) We’d like the “call-to-action” section on the home page to be on each and every page. Could you tell me how to do that, please? I tried recreating it using a [box] but it wasn’t as good as the one on the home page.

3)

Thank you once again for your amazing and above-and-beyond help. Much appreciated.

Hi, thank you once again. You can wrap the iframe map in a [responsive-video] shortcode and things will get autoresized on mobile phones. Here is the right markup for the call-to-action box:

<div class="call-to-action clearfix">
    <div class="left">
        <h3>Message</h3>
        <p>Sub-message</p>
    </div>
    [button ...] ... [/button]
</div>

Hope this helps, contact me via my profile and I’ll continue to offer support via email.

Hello, I bought this theme a few months ago. I was wondering how to work on the images of the slider (homepage) I’m using images at 1309×640 to keep the same proportions of 940×460 but the images shows all blown up, can you give me any pointers of how to fix this?.

Thank you very much, great theme !

Hi, please get in touch with me via my profile’s contact form and send me a preview link or temporary access to your WordPress admin panel. I’ll do my best to help out!

In the theme options there is settings for Social Medi profiles but I do not see any social media links on the front end. I would like to add a link to a Facebook page that displays across the site. What would be the best way to achieve this?

thanks

Hi, social media profiles are used in combination with the [social-link] shortcode – please check out the documentation of the theme. All you need to do is paste a shortcode like

[social-link type="facebook" title="Our Facebook profile"][/social-link]
in a page or post (contact page maybe). Hope this helps.

could you please tell me if there is a way to make the image in the footer left side a link?

Hi, there is no option to link the small logo in the footer – but can be done with some custom changes to the theme. Contact me via a private message and I’ll do my best to help out.

oh…. one other issue… I’m trying to embed grid short codes within the tab short codes and it pushes everything outside the tab… for example, I have

[tab id=”design” title=”design”] src=”image.jpg” />/grid4 text here blah blah blah /grid8

It’s displaying the image and text on the outside of the tab… the tabs are 100% width. I tried making the grids smaller but i get the same issue… any ideas???

Thanks for your prompt responses thus far… I really appreciate it!!

Hi, currently grid elements cannot be nested inside tab elements because they have an inner padding that makes perfect aligned grids impossible.

PS: you are using invalid shortcode markup, the src attribute is not attached to any img tag and the grids do not have shortcode markup. Please read the documentation and try to import the demo content file for examples.

Thanks Liviu for your help. For whatever reason this editor stripped out some of the code that I copied into the above post. The original markup was correct but I was getting the issue because the [tabs] short code doesn’t allow for nested short coding. Thanks again for your help and quick response.

Alright, for any other issues please contact me via my profile contact form and I’ll continue support by email.
