Hey Jdudeo,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
Before speaking about theme updates, it is worth noting that the recommended way to customize WordPress themes (e.g. in case you’ve bought the theme and want to make certain changes in the template code or the insides of the css stylesheets) is by using child themes. Ikebana supports child themes, and the downloadable package contains a starter child theme in the “Ikebana-child” folder. You can find more information on using child themes on this official page by WordPress.
Regarding theme updates, I would recommend downloading the latest version of the theme from your ThemeForest account, extracting the theme folder, and simply uploading it into the /wp-content/themes/ directory via ftp, overwriting the existing theme folder. When posting new theme updates, I use the ThemeForest function which automatically notifies all buyers once a new version is available.
Should you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Jane,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
The line you’re after is around 200th (cannot tell for sure in case you’ve made changes to the file) in the theme’s style.css: it should say “#page-background { … }”. You need to change the “z-index” property for that element to “-2000” for it to hide behind the full-page slider.
Let me know if you have troubles applying the fix!
Best,
Andrew / Satori StudioAh, you’re right, I forgot to change the capability settings in another place in the file! Try this one now.
Best,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Antonio,
I will answer your questions in the same order:
1). To enable advanced SEO options for projects, please also tick the “SEO for Custom Post Types” checkbox just above the setting that chooses which types of content to enable SEO options for (on the SEO Options admin page).
2). To create a project that links to a specified URL, you need to create a project and declare the “link” format for it; after that you can insert the needed URL into the content – it will become the target URL; the title of the project will become the anchor of the link. If you upload a thumbnail (from the “Featured image” admin box) to such post, it will show the thumbnail which will be clickable and lead to the destination URL. You can read more about post and project formats on pages 8 and 9 of the theme manual.
3). The “Preview” button does work fine on my installation – could you please specify which contents you fill in for the project before pressing the button?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Antonio,
I’ve answered to your email before I read this post, but I will duplicate the answer to the gallery question here as well so that other visitors could see it:
the pop-up overlay images are the result of a project with an “image” format (you can set the project format in the “Format” meta box while editing the project). Simply create a new project item, give it an “image” format, and insert an image into the content area by using the “Add Media” native WordPress button, then save the project. Once you have more than one “image” format” project, you will be able to switch between the images in the pop-up mode just like in the theme demo. Please excuse me if this was not explained well enough in the theme manual – I’ll need to add this information there.
..I’ve also replied to the email about the portfolio box alignment a bit earlier ;)
You’re right about the Google Map shortcode – please download this fix, unzip it, and upload into the following folder via ftp:
/wp-content/plugins/shortcodes/css/
and reload the page.Regarding the last issue – I could not re-create the bug – could you please send a screenshot of your current settings in the “Page Elements” tab of the Theme Options panel that force the menu not to align left?
Thank you so much for all the comments, they are extremely useful in making the theme better!
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey Rohidas,
please note that individual background colours were introduced since theme version 1.2 – thus if you are using an earlier version, please update first; the background colour can be set in the “Background Color” meta box in the post editor mode (the box is situated to the right of the main text edit area).
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey JM,
regarding the last issue you mention: this is not an error but was done deliberately, since the Theme Options panel contains some sensitive settings which can significantly affect the entire website – I did not intend such settings to be available to users who are only editors and not the owners/administrators of the website. However, I’ve prepared a custom file for you which you can use to show the Theme Options panel to editors as well: please download this archive from my vault, unzip it, and upload the contained file into the following folder: /wp-content/themes/Ikebana/includes/option-tree/classes/.
Please let me know if the custom file is working!
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioHey JM,
I always like to read some French, but for two reasons – firstly, since mine is enough to understand the technical matter but definitely not sufficient to explain it, and secondly – because I want the information on this forum to be accessible to all future visitors who would benefit from the knowledgebase, I will answer in English:
Regarding the two portfolio pages: sorry, I forgot that there were multiple instances of referring to a specific portfolio page template (the conditional call “is_page_template(‘page_portfolio.php’)”) in several important theme files that determine the look of the theme – we would have to expand them all to include the two new portfolio templates. You can do it yourself if you are familiar with PHP; I can also do it, but this will take some time, and since it is a custom change that is not initially envisaged by the theme’s architecture, it will be below my priority to answer other support requests. I hope for your understanding!
Regarding your second question about portfolio images: the easiest way to create a gallery project is to upload images into the project by using the native WordPress “Add media” button; simply choose multiple images in the pop-up window, upload them, and insert into the post – the gallery is built automatically from the images attached to that specific post. If by “managing the images” you mean controlling their order, you can do so by setting the image names so that they are uploaded in the needed order – unfortunately, WordPress code offers little flexibility in this aspect, hopefully they will introduce more user-friendly features in the next version update. In case I’ve missed the point, please let me know!
Concerning the language, I am fine with you writing in French if it is easier for you (English is also fine of course!); I will still answer in English for the reasons I’ve mentioned in the beginning of this post ;)
Sincerely,
Andrew / Satori StudioGlad to hear that the issue has been resolved! The “Save All Changes” button is indeed a bit slow to show the “saved” overlay message, so it would be a safe option to give it 2-3 seconds every time after saving the changes you’ve made.
Should you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
Best,
Andrew / Satori Studio
