  1. Is there an easy way to add Google Webmaster Tools code? (I’m not talking about Google Analytics, as I did that already). I need to:

    1. Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site’s home page. It should go in the section, before the first section.

  2. Well.. wordpress is really interesting tool and I am starting use it a lot.
    I use to keep credits, but sometimes I really can’t… This way I can continue using wordpress, but if it were mandatory keep credits ALWAYS it would not be possible to me to use it. So, consider I will keep credits 80% of times I use a theme, but the other 20% I really need to hide it.
    So… how much do you consider it fair for me to give a donation in exchange of your comprehension of hide it? (consider I will pay it by myself)

  3. Hello!

    Really loving the theme so far! One thing, is there anyway to eliminate the title and excerpt on the slider images for the presentation page? I just want to see the images, as text is already written on them, not see what is written in the actual blog post. Is this possible? Thanks so much!!

    1. Nevermind I figured it out, however, no matter what I do it will not save my changes. It still pulls posts for the images when I visit my site, not what I have specifically set. Is anyone else having this issue and how do I fix it?

    1. I used a large photo. In MS Publisher I added a white grid on top of the image to identify each area. Crop and save each area as individual photos. Make sure they are the right size, and insert them. bada bing.

    1. You could either edit the image and use the text tools in Photoshop or GIMP or Paint (whatever you use) or you could switch your header setting from Clickable Header Image to Site Title and Description. The downside would be that only the words would be clickable, not the entire header area.

  4. I may have messed something up during install, but it appears as if changing the slider’s width and height in the Nirvana Settings -> Presentation Page section doesn’t actually change the width and height of the slider.

    For me, the slider settings stated they were at the same size as the slider images – 1920 x 580. However, the read more button was cut off on some images, so I inspected the element and found that the actual slider dimensions on the page are 1266 x 383. Any idea as to what I might have done wrong?

    1. On my site the slider width and height are set at a maximum that exceeds the total width of my menu in the Layout settings (first settings). However I believe the layout setting overrides the settings in the presentation page. I believe that you can make your width and height *smaller* than the total width of the layout, but not larger. Making those settings any larger than total layout width will have no effect. Also, the height of the slider is proportional to the image file(s) you use. So the height is a maximum setting, not a hard setting.

  5. I can’t see a way to override the default css for mobile. For example, the Georgia font needs to be a bit bigger than standard for readability. I can change font-size in desktop but mobile css loads *after* custom css and I really want to bump the text size in tablet and phone. Would it be possible to either add that functionality (a pain) or make the mobile font-sizes percentages instead of fixed numbers in your default css?

      1. Oops. I’m not sure how my reply got down to the next comment in the series. Please see it as a response to this particular exchange. Thanks.

        1. Thank you for your prompt reply. I’m afraid I tried that and it didn’t work. Here is the css I put in the custom CSS field of Nirvana Settings.

          [code]
          @media screen only and (max-width:800px) and (min-width:481px){
          body, #content, #content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content code, #content pre, #content blockquote, table, table td, #content dt, #content dd, .ppbox, .column-text {font-size: 18px !important}
          }

          @media screen only and (max-width:480px) {
          body, #content, #content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content code, #content pre, #content blockquote, table, table td, #content dt, #content dd, .ppbox, .column-text {font-size: 16px !important}
          }
          [/code]

          It looks as though the style-mobile.css loads later than the custom css. Since the style-mobile.css @media query includes the !important qualifier that stylesheet still overrides the custom css.

          1. By the way, I recognize that it ought to be @media only screen and… rather than the way it is written above. Still, the mobile-css is not overridden even using !important.

  6. Hi, I’d like to be able to change the colour behind the text on the presentation page. Currently it is white on a white semitransparent field. This is not working for my images. Short of Photoshopping them, is it possible to have white on a black semitransparent field?
    Thanks!

  7. Hi guys, a little help would be higly appreciated. I have no clue how can I arrange the logo from he middle to the left on the top of my page. Do you have any idea?
    Beside this, I want to use the log bar on the side for social media and changing language.

    1. I’m developing my new WP and I use a background image together a Site Title and description. With this css custom code in the Nirvana’s miscellaneous settings I move the image to the left and adjust the title and description to the left of image (logo)

      #bg_image {
      float: left;
      }
      #site-title {
      margin-left: 175px;
      margin-top: 29px;
      padding-left: 0px ;
      }
      #site-description {
      margin-left: 175px;
      padding-left: 4px;
      margin-top: 0px;
      }

      Agur yogur,
      Edu.

  8. In your example you have us use Presentation page as the home page, and use “Enable Presentation Page” to show the page exactly like your demo. I like to create my own custom home page using my own options. I tried doing that but I can’t get the content to go full width of the browser window. How do I make my own content full width? For example, banner image, I want it to be 100% by 300px in height. Thanks
    Jim

    1. The content never goes full width in Nirvana. Only the slider is capable of doing that, if you include wide enough images in it.

      Images cannot go 100% width while retaining a fixed height (without distortion), so if, for example, you set 1080 by 300px images in the slider, 1080px is the maximum screen width that the slider will fully fill, going on a larger screen you’ll get to see empty side areas.

    1. The top menu (displayed above the header image / title) is part of the top bar, which can be set in theme options to remain fixed at the top of the window.
      The main menu (displayed below the header image / title and above the slider) does not have such functionality.

  9. Dear sir,
    I want to get page navigation in below of every page in your theme. How could i customize your theme to get page navigation within pages.
    And I more thing how can i get category wise post navigation in this theme

    1. i got the solution for navigation within the category but i have i query how to make header of my website fixed when i scroll down my webpage. Please reply

    2. Customize page.php and add the necessary code to display navigation (the code used in single.php may work).
      For posts, customize single.php via the child theme and add third parameter true to the previous|next_post_link function calls.

    1. Those fields support basic HTML, so you’d need to manually write the image code:

      Hello!

      I really love your theme and its one of my favorites but I am trying to upload a logo but it refuses to show. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I only have text that shows and I thought the logo could show next to the text. Isn’t that possible?

    2. To make my pages updated with new info I used in primary menu Categories (Posts) instead of static Pages (hitoutfit.com).

      So, at my Blog Page you can see published:
      Fashion Tips Category,
      Names Category,
      Style Advices Category,
      Trends Category.

      At my Review Page I publish only Reviews Category.

      BUT using option “to show posts on presentation page” I can’t exclude any category and all of them are published together what I don’t like. It seems stupid to publish reviews exerps at the presentation page.

      So, the question is how to exclude Review category posts from the Presentation Page? No answer for today.

      Please, help to solve this question!!!

      Sincerely,
      Zhanna

    3. Hello,

      i use your template, and its fun, really fun to make webpages with it. I just face one little problem. I use sticky posts as slide in my presentation page. I also have a page where i want to show the actual news but the sticky posts from the presentation page are always shown as first elements in the blog. How can i exclude them from the loop?

      1. Sticky posts are always displayed first.
        Sort the slider posts in a separate category, set the theme to display slides from that category, make their published date far into the past (or use a separate plugin to hide them from other places) and do not make them sticky.

    4. I saw the same question un-answered in the forum. My videos are shrinking to a very small size and adding extra space after an embed. Can you direct me to where I need to fix the glitch? I’m delighted to have found this theme and otherwise love it!
