To insert code use <code>...</code>.
How Do I?
  • Hello,

    How do I create a page like this http://kaptinlin.com/themes/demo/?theme=striking as I am stuck?

    I know that you use the shortcut code etc but I have no idea how to insert my pages into it or how to create the headings so people can select them? Can anyone point me to an idiots guide or something?

    Thanks

    Gavin

  • Thanks for that but it has not given me the options at the top to select like on the example page?
  • ???

    I am a bit confused here. At what page are you looking at in the demo?

    Do you mean the theme selector or the color selector in the header? Thats not part of striking.

    Please put in a image here so we know what you mean.

  • Sorry this is my fault I did not notice that the link does not link to the page I wanted it to.

    I am sorry.

    I am trying to create a 3 Column Sortable Portfolio and I am stuck with out to create it?
  • Just create your portfolio items and attach them to categories.

    Now insert the portfolio shortcode into a page with the categories.

    [portfolio column="3" sortable="true" cat="document,image,video"]

  • How do I create a portfolio item and how do I attach it to a categorie? Sorry to be thick.
  • Ok so I have the bar above what I want to sort so how do I make each one sortable by adding it to a cat?
  • Please start Creating portfolio items in the backend. Add categories to the portfolio item while you create them on the right side of the page.
  • Sorry but none of that made sense to me. I really am new to all this.
  • Hi Gavin

    I was away since last thursday on an emergency family matter. Last night I got back and did finish the video on how to use the wp gallery, which we should have up soon.

    I am going to be doing the portfolio stuff next. I understand you are new at this, and working with portfolio is a little more advance as far as wordpress goes. The pdf instructions in your documentation folder of your themeforest download have a section on portfolio creation.

    Essentially

    a) go to the wp admin menu, and on the side you will see portfolio. First step is to click on create categories, and create the categories you want, such as "dogs, cats, birds" - I am sure you get the idea.
    b) then create some individual portfolio items. A portfolio item is just like editing a post or a page in most respects. As you create each item, be sure to check off the category you want to save the item to, otherwise it will be unassigned.
    c) once you have created a bunch of portfolio items, you use the shortcode generator - the portfolio shortcode, to place it in a page. The portfolio shortcode is the "instruction" that tells the framework what portfolio items are to be place here, in how many columns, etc.
    d) you also should go to the Striking portfolio panel and set some of your portfolio options, for both how the page in which you have entered the shortcode will behave, and how each individual portfolio item will display when clicked on by a site visitor.

    I hope this little review is of some assistance.

    Best Regards

  • Hi

    A video will be available soon. showing how.

    for now you need to do it with this.

    Start adding the item fill in all the red arrow details. Set you image you want to show as featured image.

    add you portfolio categries and enable them for that item if they are already created.

    once you have added them all you can use the portfolio shortcode in a page selecting the categories you want to show.
