Hi again,
—
Re point 1 (‘Pop-up images are being ‘cut off’ by the header’) – I found a solution, which I thought I would share in case anyone should be interested. I simply changed the z-index of the header in my style.css file as follows:
.fixed-header {
z-index: 1000;
}Before it was 9000, whereas the pop-up images are 1102.
As far as I know this doesn’t conflict with any other elements of the site.

Re point 12 (‘WooCommerce CodeStyling Localization bug’) – actually I think the issue is with WooCommerce and not the theme? Anyway, I found a solution by manually downloading the .PO and .MO files, translating them using http://poedit.net/, and re-uploading them. This worked a treat! :-)

Re point 6 (‘Logo loads twice and seems a bit bulky’) – unfortunately my solution wasn’t good enough and this issue showed up to be a bigger problem than I thought it was in that Firefox really isn’t compatible yet with the ‘Picturefill’ method of the ‘WP Retina 2x’ plugin. I reverted back to the ‘Retina.js’ method, which works, but which slows the site down dramatically as all images are loaded twice on retina devices. Anyway, through playing around with this I found another, and much more problematic issue, which is that if an uploaded image isn’t big enough for ‘WP Retina 2x’ to generate a @2x version of it for all thumbnail sizes, and if you then call a thumbnail on your site that hasn’t got a @2x version, then the image won’t display and the browser just shows the image filename instead of reverting back to using the low res version instead… This means that in order to ensure that all images will be shown whenever called, the original file will have to be a minimum size of 2208px on the short edge as this is twice the size of the ‘square’ image thumbnail size that the Shogun theme uses. Hope that makes sense? Here’s an example, on this page using Firefox on a retina device, the images shows up, but then disappears soon after the browser has realised that there are no @2x versions of the images (ignore the slider): http://onlygraphicdesignerscare.com/
Anyway, we’ll probably have to wait for Firefox to catch up re using the ‘Picturefill’ method and in regards to the other issue, I’ve also reported this to the developer of the WP Retina 2x plugin in the hope that this can be fixed.
Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions if I haven’t explained well enough. Then I’ll do my best to flesh it out some more :-)
Anyway, none of these are pressing issues/suggestions, just thought I would share them here anyway.
Cheers!
Jonas
PS. I’m still also interested in the below (and above) points if anyone has got suggestions :-)
2. Add breakpoints to masonry tiles (+ more)
3. Add custom margin option for masonry tiles
4. Add option to choose fitting style for masonry tiles
5. Add thumbnails option to masonry tiles
7. Add overlay on Visual Composer elements
8. Titles on masonry tiles
9. WooCommerce seems to overwrite page styles
10. Added to cart message
11. Make it possible to hide logo completely / make minimisation of header happen earlier
13. Previous/Next project/blog postCool – thanks Andrii! Works like a charm! :-)
If it’s something you’re considering as a future feature, then I reckon it would be great if the logo simply ‘moved up’ when you scroll down instead of ‘popping’ in and out (the animation effect like the Twitter logo I mentioned earlier). Anyway, for now, and for this site, what you’ve done is more than great, so thanks! (I also reckon it definitely works better than what I had done before).
Cheers!
Jonas
Oops! Here you go: http://onlygraphicdesignerscare.com/ ;-)
PS. Here’s the site that I am building with the logo/scroll issue: – I am aware that you already know it, but I just thought I would make it clear for others that might be interested in achieving the same.
Thanks,
Jonas
Hi Andrii,
Thanks for taking a look at this and for considering it as a future feature. I completely understand if you think it’s a bit of a niche thing, which you don’t want to spend too much time on right away. Hopefully the guy developing the add-on you suggested will get it integrated in his add-on sometime soon, and then I can use that instead. Alternatively, I’ll look into other ways of structuring the site.
Anyway, thanks for giving me a realistic idea of the prospect of this happening.
Thanks,
Jonas
Nah, not really. And it’s fine anyway – I’ll just add an ‘all’ page at the very top of the sub-menu.
By the way. If you choose to add this feature to the next version of Shogun, then perhaps consider adding a small arrow or a + that shows that the menu point can be unfolded. I think perhaps that would be helpful.
Thanks again for your help solving this!
Jonas
Just thought I would share this with you; twibd’s (the author of earlier discussed VP grid add-on) response to my question if it’s possible to display a grid of categories with their thumbnails:
—
Hi,
Thanks for asking the question. This is not possible to use the categories thumbnail at this moment. We will think about that with next version. But this is possible to use thumbnail of products with category wise.Thanks
—
So I guess it’s perhaps still an interesting feature to add for a future update of the theme…?
Best,
Jonas
Hi Andrii,
Thanks for this!
I’d actually already found that add-on, but I was thinking that perhaps it would be a good in-built feature to have in the theme. Anyway, I’m going to try out the add-on and see if I can get it to work as I hope to have it. Thanks for taking the time to find and share the add-on with me! Much appreciated.
In regards to the Posts Grid element issue, then I’ll send you a separate email just after this with log-in details to my dev site. Thanks for being so helpful.
Cheers,
Jonas
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Only thing is that now it doesn’t work to have the parent menu point working as a link as well – but I guess that would have been the case no matter what. You can’t have everything! :-)
Also, I hope these requests/questions are not only a help to me, but also to the further development of the theme.
Cheers Andrii!
Jonas
