Dear Leslye,
regarding the icon menu – the only reason I’ve not made them into a tiled grid is because in that case there wouldn’t be any place for the labels, which in the case of mobile screens is a problem – there is no “mouse hover” action on touchscreens that could reveal the labels. In any case, I will experiment with both issues and see if anything can be done to improve the user experience – it make take some time, so please if I’m not back to you at the beginning of next week, would you be so kind as to remind me?

Andrew / Satori StudioHey Paz,
if something was wrong with .htaccess, there would normally be a message at the bottom of the “Permalinks” settings page; you can try posting the contents of your .htaccess file here, I will have a look if there’s something missing.
Also, just in case – after changing the permalink pattern to “Post name”, are you accessing the pages/posts by simply refreshing them? You might want to try to go to the “Pages” menu, click on a page to enter the editor, and then click “View Page” from there.

the theme’s built-in functionality only allows for changing/translating the text strings, but not creating multiple language versions; the most widely practiced method of creating several language versions of a WordPress website are multilingual plugins, the best of which are WPML and Xili.

yes, it is important to have permalink structure set to “Post name” for the icon menu item links to work properly. Human-readable permalinks are in any case a very advisable way to render website URLs, for the sake of usability and search engine optimization. If you change the permalinks to “Post name”, do the links start working?

Andrew / Satori StudioHey Maggie,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
You can find information on how to change the page layouts on pages 3 and 4 of the Theme Manual. Should you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Andrew / Satori StudioDear Leslye,
I’ve conducted extended testing with the mobile interface before releasing the theme, and the icon menu rectangles proved to be the most user-friendly option for adapting the icon menu items to smaller screens. If you have ideas or suggestions on an alternative way of showing the icon menu on smartphone screens, I will be more than happy if you could share.
The width of the content is directly proportional to the width of each portfolio box, and changes in full increments of the latter width; this means that you can influence the width of the content on smartphone screens by changing the width of the portfolio items boxes in Theme Options, “Portfolio Page” tab, “Portfolio page items: box dimensions” option. Since there are so many different kinds of devices with wildly varying screen sizes, this adaptability ensures that there is no need for fixed rules for every kind of screen, of which there are hundreds and new ones are being created all the time.
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Reiner,
thank you for the kind words!
There are ways to transform images into grayscale using CSS and SVG filters, I will think about implementing it as a feature into Ikebana, thank for the suggestion!

Andrew / Satori StudioThis is exactly why I decided to switch to stretched icons with images AND text instead of the full-screen versions in the first place – while on a touch-enabled device, it is more difficult to have a logical and intuitive way to combine showing user the label and making the icons clickable. So far I can only think of one possible solution – disable icon labels on tablets and hope that the user understands the meaning of the icon button from its icon image. What do you think?
