Updates


How to update:


Download the package again from TF, unpack it, open the unpacked folder, go to the theme/ folder, unpack the zip from that folder then just access the ftp and copy the folder over the one you have in wp-content/themes .

If you update by deleting the current theme and installing via zip, it will work but you might lose images uploaded via drag & drop.

I bought this template but i have a lot of dificult to create similar pages to preview. I would like to known if is possible to share, or send email, with description of main and contact pages.


You will find all the pages and posts ready for import in the main package in the previewdata folder. It’s the xml from there. You just have to import it via Tools > Import from your WP admin.




Even made a video here -> http://www.screenr.com/ipDs

You can modify the size dimensions for pictures in the Sortable Gallery from the WP Dashboard > Portfolio Items > Settings > Thumb Width / Height

I have installed and configured the theme. In your theme, there is a page called “Interactive Content”, but i don`t find it when I import the xml with your configuration.


That is a handled by Sliders Admin. You go to that page, click Add Slider, then in the newly created slider, you choose Interactive Content as the Type, then you go ahead and complete the blocks with content.

Sure, you can add any sidebar in the content.

You can select a sidebar and layout for each post / page individually ( as seen in the post options picture above )




Love the theme so far, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to add a slider to the homepage.

No problem, made a video here:

How do I add photos to the media gallery as per your live preview?

[tgallery id=”“] ... what do i put here?




And how do i add photos to the gallery?




You create the gallery in the Sliders Admin ( thumb gallery type ), enter an id add your photos, then in the post / page you want to add the gallery id you just enter this shortcode [tgallery id=”theidyousetintheadmin”]




Can you please tell me how to add a youtube video as a video background in the sliders admin


Create a new slider with INLINE as the TYPE

The demo site makes mention of the “sidebar shortcode” but it is not in the documentation. Can you give an example of its use?


[sidebar id=”footer1”]




footer1 – footer4




Or




[sidebar id=”blog-sidebar”]




Or if you go to Widgets area and expand Custom Sidebar 1 for example, it will give you exactly the code you need




Hi, Great theme. I am trying to customize the showcase background area. Can you tell me how to add my own repeat bg pattern? Thanks


Go to Appearance > Theme Options and in the Extra CSS tab write:





.showcase {
background: url("../images/bg-slider.png") repeat-x scroll center top #111;
}


Replace ../images/bg-slider.png with your own pattern or image.




How do you change the pop up google map at the bottom of the webpage (in the contents widget, with We on maps).

You go to Theme Options > Google Maps and change default latitude and longitude to the coordinates that you wish. You can also change them individually on each page / post via the Abrax Post Settings. If you check Enable Google Maps in there, the google map will appear on top of the post like in the demo, on the contact page. If not, it will stay hidden on bottom, but with the coordinates you give there.

I need to have nine menu buttons but when I do this they spread out and overlap with my logo. Is there a way to have two rows of menu butons? If so how do I do it. Also how do I position my logo further over to the left in the header?

Two rows of menu items > Go to Theme Options > Extra CSS and write


#header ul.menu {
width: 300px;
}


For placing the logo further to the left





#logo {
left: -30px;
}


Is it possible to use the blog without the sidebar? Ive tried setting my blog page to the full width template but its not working.


Just create a new fullwidth page and add the [blog] shortcode to the content




That should be all




I need to edit the CSS of the footer independently of the header and do the same with link colors and H tags, etc. What is the best way to do this?

Firstly, it’s recommended to add your extra CSS inside THEME OPTIONS > EXTRA CSS so that options are preserved in future updates.

You can target the footer very easily by adding .bottom in front of every tag you want to edit




for example




.bottom a { color:#392922; }




HTML Version
