Hey Renato,

in WordPress, you need to insert a special tag into the post content to tell the blog page to display only the content above the tag. In the visual edit mode, use the “Inset more tag” button on the panel above the content; in the HTML mode, the button says “more”; or – you can simply write it by hand (see the links below on how it should look like). You can find additional information on using the “more” tag on the WordPress.org official website, here and here.

Hey Bkimura1,

first of all, thank you for the purchase!

Kabuki does not offer such functionality by default, thus a customization is required.
The easiest way to have more than one portfolio page with differing items is to hide the unwanted items with CSS:
.page-id-XX #portfolio-list .tagname, .page-id-XX #portfolio-filter li:nth-child(2) { display: none; }
replacing the “XX” with the page ID; in this example, the first part of the declaration (before the comma) removes the items themselves, and the second part hides the filters (in this case – the second one; please use the nth-child css property to remove the ones you do not need).

The custom CSS should be inserted into the bottom of the “style.css” file (opens by default when visiting the “Appearance -> Editor” admin menu).

Sincerely,

Hey Rohidas,

the labels for icon menu items are sourced from the “Title” field of the respective icon menu items on the “Icon Menu” tab of the Theme Options panel.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

Hey Reiner,

this is how the website appears on my machine (Chrome browser) – and it seems to be displaying the icon menu as intended by the theme. Could you please clarify the source of your concern – or have you resolved the issue in the meanwhile?

Sincerely,

Hey Irene,

first of all, thank you for the purchase!

I will answer your questions in the same order:

1). Ikebana uses a separate post type called “portfolio project” (“Portfolio -> Add New” and “Portfolio -> Portfolio” in the admin menu); when you have one or more portfolio projects, they can be displayed in the tiled layout on a portfolio page, which is a classical WordPress page with “Portfolio” template selected for it. If you have individual projects are pages, you will need to move their content into projects in order to display them on Ikebana’s portfolio grid.

2). In order to set up the portfolio on the front page, please create a portfolio page (see theme manual pages 4-6 on how to do that) and then go to “Settings -> Reading” admin menu and select that page from the “Front Page” drop-down list in the “Front page displays” section (a standard WordPress procedure for creating a static front page).

3). In general, a “masonry” layout is any layout that has elements of various dimensions arrange without leaving empty spaces in-between; Ikebana’s design concept is highly geometrical and is inspired in part by the Microsoft’s Metro interface, which is why the individual portfolio elements can only be square (nevertheless, there are two sizes – “standard” and double that in size; you can also set any figure for the dimensions of the boxes from the Theme Options panel, “Portfolio Page” tab). It is also worth noting that the images you add can be of any configuration – they will be automatically cropped into squares for the portfolio maintaining maximum surface of the image; on individual project pages, the images will display in their original proportions.

Should you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

Dear Renato,

please excuse me for a misguiding tip – I’ve checked once more and it seems that the new versions of Fireworks are using XMP metadata and not IPTC; in order to add IPTC metadata, you can use either Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom or a free specialized piece of software called PhotoME (just tried it myself, works perfectly to display the captions; please follow the instructions on the website to add meta to an image).

Alternatively, you can use the “WP Media Gallery” as the source of slides (choose the “WP Media Gallery” tab from the “Background Slider/ Image Source of Images” box while in the page editor mode). In this case the captions will be sources from the image captions or, if they are empty, from image titles.

Please let me know if this was helpful for you!

Sincerely,

Hey Chao,

I’ve looked into the issue – it seems that there was a reference in one of the theme’s included files which did not function properly in case of child themes. I’ve prepared a fix – please download this archive from my repository, unzip it, and upload into the following folder:
/wp-content/themes/Ikebana/includes/easy-fancybox
replacing the existing file.

Please let me know if this works!

Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori Studio

Hey Renato,

first of all, thank you for the purchase!

In case you are using images uploaded to the WordPress media gallery, the captions are taken from the “Caption” field of the images; if, however, you are using images uploaded manually via ftp into a certain folder, captions are extracted from the IPTC caption field of each image (in some cases called “Description” as well) – e.g. in Adobe Fireworks you can input this field in the “File -> File Info” menu, “IPTC” tab.

Sincerely,

Dear Leslye,

that’s strange then. As mentioned before, the first thing I would recommend trying is to optimize the size of your image so that the total size of your website is below 3 MB (ideally, below 1 MB) – this should make the loading much faster.

Once you have your website live, please let me know, I will take a look.

Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori Studio

By the way – is the effect as pronounced on the theme demo as on your website?
