Hey Percy,
here’s how the page looks on my machine (Chrome 45, Windows, 1600×800): image; if this is not what your friend sees on her end, could you please let me know which browser (and version) she is using, as well as, ideally, her device’s screen resolution – I will test the website with these specific parameters. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Tinchox17,
regarding the Facebook share button: I’m not sure what I can add to the instructions you’ve mentioned above – you’ll need to insert the first bit of code into the
element, e.g. into the theme’s “header.php” file, and the second one anywhere in the template files where you want the button to appear.Concerning the second question: could you please clarify what you mean by “body”, as opposed to the background? Ikebana provides a possibility to set up a background image for the website in the Theme Options panel (the “Page Elements” tab), yet I suppose you’ve done it already.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Tinchox17,
the hover color of the icon menu label text can be adjusted using the “Portfolio filter text color” setting in the “Style: Content, Widgets” tab of the Theme Option panel.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey olollo,
the child theme’s portfolio grid page should work even when the child theme only has the required “style.css” file – I’ve just double-checked this on the theme demo website. You might want to update to the latest version of Ikebana (3.4 at the moment, is available from the “Downloads” tab of your ThemeForest account) and try once more; alternatively – yes, the “header-functions.php” file is the one containing the script that initializes the portfolio grid, other external script files are referenced in the “functions.php” and should load automatically.
Let me know if you keep having problems with the child theme!
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Tinchox17,
glad to hear you’ve sorted out the portfolio grid questions (for other forum visitors: the detailed instructions on how to set up a portfolio page can be found on pages 4-6 of the theme manual).
Regarding your latest question: the “Portfolio” page template displays only items of type “project”, i.e. the ones that have been created in the “Portfolio” admin menu section; the native blog posts (i.e. the ones which are created using “Posts -> Add New”) are displayed on the standard WordPress blog page, the one which is set up in the “Settings -> Reading” admin menu section. This is done in order to distinguish between the two content types – portfolio project and blog post – which have different functions: the former acts as a showcase for completed works, the latter is used to share thoughts, news and other information.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Anders,
glad the previous recommendations helped! Just to let you know – version 3.4 of Ikebana is now available on ThemeForest. Regarding your remark on the semi-transparent overlays on entire tiles – you can either implement this by customizing the theme, i.e. adding an extra div element inside the tiles by modifying the “content.php” and “content-[format].php” files (a total of 7 files); or simply creating images with overlays prior to uploading them into WordPress.
I’ll cover the other questions below:
1). The portfolio layout in Ikebana has been intended for use on pages which showcase the projects, which is why it displays all project items. What you can do is use the project tag archive pages to display projects that have been assigned a specific tag; the structure of the URL of such pages is “www.website.com/tag-portfolio/[tag-name]”. You can also check them out by visiting the “Portfolio -> Tags” admin menu section, hovering over any of the tags, and clicking on “View” in the hover options.
2). Currently Ikebana supports lightboxes for images (in the “image” project format) – in order to tell some of the projects to open their entire content in a lightbox, certain modifications will need to be done to the code, probably adding some js which creates an overlay with an iframe of the link target when the user clicks on a tile.
3). At the moment the images are displayed without captions in the lightbox, yet I will add this feature to the backlog for short-term improvements in the theme. Thanks!
4). The theme transitions between pages using php, not javascript (i.e. reloading form the server, like other native WP pages), so the behavour with fluid reordering outside of the portfolio page is not feasible, unfortunately. The javascript filter with non-reloading transitions works on the portfolio page layout, and is only intended for the Isotope-powered tiled layout, which it is a part of; on other pages the icon menu leads to portfolio tag archive pages, which are identical to respective filtered portfolio views – i.e. outside the portfolio page, the icon menu no longer behaves as a pure filter, rather as a more conventional menu. The 2×1 tiles with tag information on tag archive pages are there to tell the user where she’s landed :) you can remove the tags though, by deleting lines 15-23 in the “taxonomy-tagportfolio.php” theme file (located in the theme root), preferably via a child theme.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Anders,
first of all, thank you for using Ikebana!
I’ve replied to your ThemeForest message, yet the issues will be addressed here so that other users can benefit from knowing this information; I’ll cover the questions in the same order:
1). Please check whether the logo image has been uploaded and saved as a correct path to the file in the Theme Options panel – the setting field should display the URL which ends with “.jpg”, “.png” or other image extension, and a small thumbnail of the uploaded image should appear underneath the field; in case this does not happen when you upload a logo, i.e. the „File URL” field displays an attachment URL (ending with „?attachment_id=xx”) or an empty field – please press the „File URL” button below the url field when in the image upload pop-up dialog, so that the link is a direct url of the image file. Once you have chosen the item and settings, press „Add to OptionTree”; the system should remember this setting and always use the correct URL from then on.
Regarding the second part of the question: since the logo is located inside the header container, it is not possible to remove the header but leave the logo using just the theme’s back-end settings. You can, however, achieve this using some custom CSS – just add this code to the “Style: Add Custom CSS” tab of the Theme Options panel:
#logo-wrap { top: 5px; } #iconmenu { top: 55px; }2). The setting works on your website, as far as I can see: the overlays that appear on mouse hover, e.g. over the tile with an icon of a telephone (the overlay says “Ring oss”) are white, which is not the default. Did I understand the question correctly?
3). Currently, the theme automatically assigns a “_self” target to all “link” tiles which lead to internal website pages, and “_blank” target to all external links; since yours is not the first request in this area, I’ve decided to add a little more flexibility to the link targets in the next version of the theme – today I’ve submitted Ikebana 3.4 for review on ThemeForest, it should be live within 48 hours. The update contains several bug fixes as well as the new version of certain bundled scripts. You will be able to download the latest version from the “Downloads” tab of your ThemeForest account.
There’s one more thing you asked in the original message, and that was about unclickable tiles; this feature has been implemented in one of the earlier versions of Ikebana by popular demand, all you need to do is create a project with “aside” format and give it a thumbnail (featured image) – this will display a tile that does not link anywhere.
Should you have other questions about the theme, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Hazel,
I’ve tested your website using the steps you’ve outlined in your email:
1. Clicked on “FAQ” in the top menu, which brought me to the respective section.
2. Clicked e.g. on “Business” (also tried the other two links) in the FAQ section, which brought me to a separate page.
3. Clicking on any of the top menu items on that separate page brings me to the respective section of the one-page layout, just like expected – in other words, I cannot seem to be able to reproduce the bug so far.Here’s what I’d like to you tell me in order to help in my search for the bug:
– please right-click on any of the top menu items (e.g. “Proofreading”) while having completed step 2 from the above sequence, choose “Copy link address” from the drop-down menu that appears, and paste here the resulting URL.
– tell me which device and browser (and browser version, you can find it here) you are using to view the website.Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey Hazel,
in order to suggest a viable fix, I’d need to see the live website – could you please send me the login details to support[at]satoristudio.net (no disclosure guaranteed), together with a detailed step-by-step description on how to reproduce the bug – in other words, specific actions that can be taken to see the bug “in action”. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori StudioHey chelawonk,
the overlays on tiles are displayed by default on smaller screens because this is a good UX practice: since there is not “mouse hover” event on touch devices, the overlays should be visible to enable the visitors to encounter the same information on smartphones and tablets. There is no back-end setting to disable this, yet you can customize the theme’s code by altering line 599 in the theme’s “header-functions.php” file.
Sincerely,
Andrii / Satori Studio
