Hey Agatha!
The way I display videos in the live preview of the theme is through a blog post format, i.e. the videos section is simply a blog, with individual video posts being blog posts. To achieve this, you’ll need to do the following:
1). Create a blank page to hold the blog posts; you can name it whatever you want :)
2). Go to “Settings –> Reading” and declare this page as the “Posts page” in the “Front page displays” section.
3). Create blog posts (“Posts –> Add New”), inserting videos e.g. via the media shortcode (see the manual, page 14, on how to use it).The blog page will also automatically have the sidebar, where you can list recent videos.
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriDear Nichibus,
thank you for bringing up these issues! I’ve fixed the menu in IE7 and IE8, as well as tried my best to remove the transparency bug in IE10 – please check out the theme demo, esp. regarding the last issue, since I do not have IE10 on my machine and thus have limited possibilities to check the results of my tinkering. I will definitely include the fixes into the next theme update, or in case you wish to purchase the theme, I will be able to send you the fixes to update manually.
Regarding the menu usability on touchscreens – could you please name the device (and model) on which you are viewing the website? The menu in Kabuki has been designed to fold back when the cursor leaves the menu area, no on click, thus you can try to “swipe out” of the menu into another area of the page to see if this will get the menu to slide up. Please let me know if this helps!
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHey Mike,
first of all, thank you for the purchase!
In case you want to disable the responsive layout (i.e. the adaptation of the theme to smaller screens), please download this custom file I’ve made for you, unzip it, and upload into the theme folder (/wp-content/themes/Kabuki/), replacing the existing file. I would be very grateful if you could describe (or better still – provide a screenshot) in which way your website becomes messed up while viewing from the mobile device – this would help me to improve the theme for future version updates. Please also note that the menus should turn into drop-downs on mobile devices – this is a widely accepted part of responsiveness concept, and improves usability of the theme :)
Regarding the Twitter widget – this is a very peculiar bug! Could you please try changing the twitter username in the widget settings to any other username (e.g. “envato” or “satoristudionet”) – do the tweets display as intended then?
One piece of advice – I would recommend optimizing your background slider images, since currently they are quite large and take some time to load, which may annoy visitors. Your slider images are currently 3264×2448 pixels and 2.30 Mb, which is a lot by web standards. I’d recommend scaling them down to 2560×1600 pixels, which is enough to cover 99.9% of the possible screen sizes; this will both reduce the size and increase the loading speed for the website.
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHi Nichibus,
Thank you for taking interest in my themes!
Let me answer your questions one by one:
1). Kabuki’s design did not imply menu icons from the start; if you need icons to appear in the menu items, this can in principle be done, yet in case you would want me to do it, I would have to charge additionally for that since I classify this type of work as theme customization.
2). For usability reasons, Kabuki does not have a recent posts slider; again, in case such modification is needed, it should be viewed in the theme customization context.
3). The menu can be left visible through the Theme Options panel. There is also an option to show the menu items stretched according to the length of the text (as in the demo) or have a fixed width; this option can go in any combination with the menu visibility option.
4). Different colours for individial menu items are not supported from the back-end, yet this can be achieved by inserting a couple of lines of code. This part is quite easy to achieve thus I can help with this as a part of free theme support.
5). Kabuki, as my other themes, can indeed be used with the Multilingial plugin.

Andrew | SatoriHi Coffeemilkfun!
Let me go over your questions one by one:
1). I’ve updated Sensei just yesterday to version 1.1, and among the fixes it contains an improved header choice algorithm – please update to 1.1 and also – in case your home page is a blog, be sure to check the “Show custom header on blog-posts page” option in the “Heeader” tab of the Theme Options panel.
2). The sidebar widget problem is very peculiar! Could you please tell me if you are using any third-party plugins? And better yet – I would be able to troubleshoot and fix even faster if you could send me the admin login/password to support@satoristudio.net (no disclosure guaranteed).
3). As a matter of principle, I do not use any additional plugins in any of my theme previews – to make sure that the visitors see that everything done in the preview can be achieved from the theme’s built-in functions, out-of-the-box. The fact that the theme demo has fancybox is because I’ve integrated the code into my theme – which means that you can uninstall the plugin and still use all the features :) in case you want to fine-tune the settings for the fancybox, they are located in “Settings -> Media”. ..I guess I should be more explicit on this one in the theme manual, thank you for bringing this up!
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHey Goots!
After your request I’ve decided that third-level submenus would be a useful feature for the theme, thus I’ve implemented them and submitted the update (along with several other corrections) to ThemeForest. Meanwhile, if you want, I can update the theme for you (given that you’ve reported problems while updating, it would be very useful for me to know what went wrong there to avoid this in the future versions of Fuji). For that, I’d need your website’s URL, the WordPress admin login/password, and the FTP admin login/password – you can send the details to support@satoristudio.net, no disclosure guaranteed. This way I will be able to both fix the submenus and the top menu label.
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHey Coffeemilkfun,
First of all, thank you for the purchase!
Unfortunately, WordPress does not allow to export/import admin settings – only content, thus you will need to configure the settings yourself. In order to set the front page display, please visit “Settings -> Reading” and choose the desired option from the radio-button options for “Front page displays”. You would want to set it to “Your latest posts” in case you want the front page to show your latest posts :)
Should you have more questions – do not hesitate to ask!
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHey Goots!
At the moment Fuji supports one level of submenus; yet I and planning to add more. In case you need it right now, let me know, and I will try to make it quicker!
Sincerely,
Andrew | SatoriHi Kevin,
Glad to hear!
Should you have other questions, do not hesitate to contact me!Best,
