Hey Davshirley,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
If I understood you correctly, you would like to create a portfolio item with an image slider, like the one with the wires in the theme demo. If that is the case, please follow these steps:
1). Ikebana uses the WordPress’ native post formats to display galleries. Therefore, you’ll need to declare the project under consideration as a “gallery” format in the “Formats” box on the right hand side of the editor screen. (You can read more about the formats in Ikebana on pages 8 and 9 of the theme manual).
2). The gallery sources images from the ones attached to the particular project, which is why we’ll need to upload one or more images using the “Add Media” button just below the project title field. When the images are uploaded, there’s no need to insert them into the project content – they’re already attached to this project and will appear in the gallery slider, thus you can simply close the pop-up window after the uploads finish.
3). Publish the project using the blue “Publish” button on the right of the project editor screen, and return to the portfolio. Your project should display an image slider inside the box. Should you have additional questions or problems along the way, do not hesitate to ask!
In case I misunderstood you, please re-state your question :)
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey, Csaba,
glad to hear you’ve sorted out the portfolio page issue.
I will go over your latest questions in the same order:
1). To make the excerpts visible at all times, please try the “Portfolio item captions” drop-down on the “Portfolio Page” tab of the Theme Options panel.
2). The “Portfolio” template does not have a sidebar by design; it should be possible to add a sidebar from inside the “page_portfolio.php” template file, yet one will need to make additional adjustments to the Isotope masonry system in order to display the box grid correctly, and to the content width algorithm, both found in the “header-functions.php” file.
3). If is relatively easy to add a new widget area if you are familiar with php and basic WordPress principles; please see this thread for detailed information.
4). In order to preserve visual identity, all portfolio item boxes are designed to be square in Ikebana. One easy solution to the situation you’ve described is to pre-edit the portrait photos to make them closer to square dimensions (i.e. simple crop in Phtoshop or any other software of your choice).
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Stambouli,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
Have you altered the child theme folder in any way?
In order to troubleshoot the situation, I need to see the back-end: please provide your WordPress account credentials as well as your website’s FTP account data (address, login, and password) by sending them to support@satoristudio.net. Thanks!Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Nagytalp,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
In Ikebana, default WordPress-style blog posts and portfolio projects are different types of content. You’ve imported blog posts, are they are styled in a more blog-like classical layout (as in the theme demo here). In order to display the items are portfolio projects in a masonry layout, you would need to manually create the new projects (“Portfolio -> Add New” admin menu) and fill in the information from your existing posts. A more efficient solution, though, would be to use a third-party specialized plugin, e.g. this one.
You can read more about creating a masonry portfolio in Ikebana on pages 4-6 of the theme manual.
Should you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioDear Elliott,
in order to act as a link, a project item must have the “link” forma assigned to it. You can change a project’s format in the “Format” settings box on the right side of the project editor screen.
More information on post and project formats is available on pages 8 and 9 of the theme manual. Please let me know if I understood you correctly regarding this issue.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHi there!
I’ve checked the website, for some reason there was a “visibility: hidden” CSS rule added to the portfolio tag archive title (“style.css”, line 594) – it is not in the theme originally. I’ve removed the code and now the title displays as intended.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Elliott,
please send the me the login information for your WordPress admin to support@satoristudio.net – I will take a look and troubleshoot if needed.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Elliott,
the title of the 2×1 blocks is sourced from the title of the tag ;) By design, the 2×1 blocks only appear on portfolio tag archive pages to present the information about the tag being viewed at the moment.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioAh, I see now. The back-end allows for two sizes (“Normal” and “Large”), mostly for aesthetic purposes and to preserve the theme’s visual concept. In order to add a third size, several theme files should be customized, namely:
– functions.php (add a new size choice option for project item editor mode).
– custom-styles.php (add the new size in pixels and well as link to the Theme Options hook).
– header-functions.php (adjust the column width in the Isotope settings to match the new dimensions.Since this functionality is not envisaged by the theme, the standard ThemeForest support offer does not cover such deep customization; unfortunately, I am not available for a paid ad-hoc project at the moment, but I can advise a website with decent value-for-money in terms of good-quality WordPress customization services: Tweaky.com.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioYes, sure: please use the “Portfolio page items: box dimensions” setting on the “Portfolio Page” tab of the Theme Options panel can be used to set the dimensions of the “Normal” portfolio item boxes; the “Large” size is computed automatically and is twice the size of the “Normal” box plus one margin.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori Studio
