Dear Kari,

that’s odd. Firstly, I’ve tried the files I sent you on a sample installation of Sensei and they worked fine, and secondly – the FTP client should have asked you to replace one of the files (lessframework.css). Could you please provide a URL of your blog page so that I could look at the code?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori

Anytime ;)

Dear Kari,

in order to force the slider to extract images from a particular post or page (not necessarily the current one), try the following shortcode:

[nivo_slider source=”post=12” link=”image” size=”656×300″ limit=”10″ effect=”random” speed=”600″ delay=”3000″]

putting the desired post/page ID instead of the “12”. You can find the ID of a page/post by entering the editor mode – the URL part with says “?post=12” or some other number is what you need.

Also, if you want to pull the images from the latest posts on your homepage, why not try the Recent Posts Slider, which is also included in the theme – you can choose it in the “Custom header” box below the content editor in the page edit mode, and adjust its settings in “Appearance -> Recent Posts Slider”.

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori

Dear Kari,

in order to create a full-width blog, please download these custom files I’ve made for you, unzip them, and upload into the theme folder wp-content/themes/Sensei/ (replacing the existing files when asked).

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori

Dear Kari,

if you want your nivo slider to pull images from the post it is inserted into, please choose the “post” option from the “Source of images” dropdown in the shortcode setup screen (the final shortcode that is inserted into the page/post will look something like this:

[nivo_slider source=”post” link=”image” size=”656×300″ limit=”10″ effect=”random” speed=”600″ delay=”3000″]

Now, in order to attach images to the post/page, press the “Add media” button above the text editor area and choose the files to upload; once the are uploaded, press “Save all changes” at the bottom of the window and close it. Save the page – and you should be able to see the slider. Please see this demo page I’ve made for you for the final look of the slider.

I hope I wasn’t too confusing :)

Sincerely,

Hey Chag,

First of all, thank you for the purchase!

Portfolio pages are made specifically to display portfolio-type posts, i.e. \”projects\”. I must note however that there are no limitations as to what you put into this kind of posts – images, text, shortcodes, videos, etc – just be sure you have a featured image set up (see manual page 4 on the details) in order for the portfolio page to extract and display the image for the project.

In principle it would be possible to link portfolio pages with default-type posts, yet it would require altering the template files, which I classify as theme customization and thus would have price separately.

Sincerely,

Hi Jonathan,

thank you for expressing interest in my work, as well as for pointing out this issue!

The reason why the image slider was buggy on browser resize is because I did not want to fix the slider image height so as not to limit the customization opportunities. My reasoning was that people do not resize browsers that often. However, taking into account tablet devices, I think your argument is very valid, which is why I’ve decided to fix the image height and thus get rid of the bug you’ve described. Please see theme demo ;) I will include the fix in the next theme update, yet in the meanwhile, if you decide to purchase the theme and will need the fix as soon as possible, please let me know and I will provide instructions.

Should you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask!

And – merry Christmas!

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori

Hey Rolfmaomachizlin,

of course – you can find the relevant settings under the “Style: Content, Widgets” tab of the Theme Options panel: the “Body heading text color” and the “Body text color” options is what you are looking for ;)

Merry Christmas!

Best,

Dear Irina,

regarding your questions:

1). The new version of the theme should be available form your ThemeForest account, the “Downloads” tab. You’ll need to download it, unpack as stated in the manual, and re-upload the “Sensei” folder (located inside the “Sensei_Installable.zip” archive) via FTP, replacing the original theme files.

2). The reason why there were no widgets in the default sidebar is because you did not add any :) widgets can be added in “Appearance -> Widgets” by dragging the widget boxes into one of the sidebars on the right. I’ve added a couple of test widgets to your default sidebar and they show correctly, please see e.g. this page. Now the second part of the issue, i.e. the custom sidebars, is still open (although you had no widgets in them – even after adding widgets they did not work) – I strongly recommend to try to update the theme to the latest version and check if it fixes the custom sidebars. If not, please let me know!

3). The fancybox is working fine at the moment, just click on any image you’ve inserted into posts or pages, e.g. this one. Note that in WordPress an image must be inserted with a link pointing to the image file in order for the system to create a fancybox frame for it.

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori

P.S. с наступающим! ;)

Hey Raissuli!

Just to let you know that I’ve published the update for Origami version 1.1, which, among other things, fixes the compatibility issues with the Jetpack plugin. You can find the latest version under the “Downloads” tab of your ThemeForest account. Sorry it took me more time than I initially stated.

And – merry Christmas :)

Sincerely,
Andrew | Satori
