Hello

I would like to buy your charity wordpress template. However I would like to know first if I can freely customize it in wordpress. For instance can I change in wordpress EASILY (no coding necessary) the color of the top banner, and overall dark/black colour to a yellow for instance? I need this answer to decide if I will buy this or not for an ngo.

Thanks

Hi Emmanuel,

You are completely welcome to customize any of our templates as much as you want, the difficulty can be anywhere from easy to hard though depending on your experience at working with web design and programming.

Hi Emmanuel,

WordPress will let you do alot easily as far as managing the content on the site, but to change colors on the site it will most likely need you to get into the CSS and change some code there (you can do this via the WordPress admin area too for editing the CSS code directly). So for you this might not be easy, in my opinion its very easy though. It just depends who you have working on it and the skill level they have. I hope that helps with your question.

Hi Emmanuel,

I am thinking the billing department would decline your request to have a refund for those reasons because our templates are customizable and we do provide tutorials. What I would recommend is you play around with our free sample template first so that you know exactly what to expect and if our product is for you. You can find our sample templates here:

designs/sample-templates.html

and a sample WordPress template here:

designs/samples/sample_wordPress_theme.zip

Hopefully that will help.

Those parts are all flash, and the source .fla files are included so that you can make any changes that you want. The difficulty of changing them will depend on your experience at working with flash, and you will need to make sure you have at least Adobe Flash 8 or greater (the editor).

If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks!

Looks like you paid via an e-check. Did it clear? It says estimated date would be today, I am curious on the status of that payment? I am still waiting to hear from the billing department.

Hi Sabrina,

When you say account, are you referring to your bank account, or your Paypal account? Could you do me a favor and login to your Paypal account and check the status of that payment? While it may have been deducted from your bank account, it may not be cleared yet with Paypal yet.

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Sabrina,

The billing department just got back to me and told me this:

Dear Customer!
You have initiated an eCheck payment with your Paypal account. This eCheck Payment will remain 'Uncleared' until the funds have cleared from the your bank account, then the Status of the eCheck will change to 'Completed'.

Since the money was sent using PayPal eCheck option, it may take several days for the payment to be cleared. You may visit Paypal's website to learn all details:

https://www.paypal.com/helpcenter/main. ... =_help-ext

As soon as the money is received the download links with all instructions will be sent to you by email.

Thank you for contacting our Billing Department.

So it looks like they still haven't received it yet, but if it was removed from your bank account it should be soon.

It was deducted from my bank account.

On PayPal it's: "pending until the 28th." So, I'll just wait until the 28th.

Hi Sabrina,

Yup I bet that is it. See the money doesn't get sent from your bank account to us. It first goes to Paypal and once they have confirmed that they received it then they send the money to us. Once that occurs the template will be released to you. That is how the e-check option works.

Just for your information, in the future if you don't use the e-check option usually the payment happens instantly and you would receive the template download within about 30 minutes. To not use the e-check option you typically have to have a credit card on file with Paypal, but you can still pay via your bank account (but it happens instantly then).

Hope that makes sense!

Hi Jhon,

This template was created for WordPress 2.9 and is only tested with that version of WordPress. You are absolutely welcome to use it with other versions, but it may require you to make modifications to the template to get it to work correctly. We are also available at an additional charge if after you purchase it you need help getting it to be fully compatible.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I would be happy to help!

Hi Rob,

This template has only been tested with WordPress 2.9, so we can only guarantee that it works correctly with that version. WordPress 3.x introduces many new features that would not be built into older themes. So depending on exactly what is broken or not working it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to many hours to fix the template. Unfortunately once a template is released our developers do not maintain previous templates, they only work on new projects. We charge $150/hr for custom work, so if numerous things are broken and it takes 3 hours to fix, then it would be another $450. If you do decide to purchase this template and there are certain features missing that you want you can always contact us and let us know exactly what needs to be fixed and I can give you a more accurate quote.

If you are not totally fixed on this template you might check out our WordPress 3.x templates that would be fully compatible and are tested to work correctly already.

Hello Brian,

I'm having problems installing my template. I've tried to uncompress it with my password but then it says, "windows can't open this file. To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it...." I can't seem to find the correct file either.

Can you please help me out here?

Hi Sabrina,

You will need to first download and install "Winzip". You can find that searching through Google. Then if you have already downloaded the template package to your computer somewhere which ends in a .zip extension, you will open it up in Winzip to decompress the contents to another folder somewhere on your computer.

Please let me know if that helps.

Hi Sabrina,

If you are still looking for web hosting, we do also offer that.

As far as doing custom website design to get the template customized with your content, or to make changes to parts you do not like, we can also do those sorts of tasks. For custom web design we charge $150/hr, but can give you a quote upfront to see if its within your budget.

If you have any questions or concerns please let us know. Thanks!

Yes you are absolutely welcome to change the pictures. To do so you need to edit the source .fla files if you are referring to the larger images at the top.

Ok, purchased the template - installed and running on my site - but need some assistance in where to go to modify the images for the flash doc. I have Flash CS3 professional, I have the document opened and can see the _pic folder and the pic_1 stage file for the 'first' image - but when I import my own image and try to plug it in, there is obviously some step I'm missing in replacing the image that the action script is reference - if you have a document that can help with this specifically or can give me some guidance, I would appreciate it.

Hello Brian,

I've finally purchased a webhost, and now I'm busy with the website but there's a problem. I can't seem to upload my theme using Wordpress. I've tried to copy and paste the URL link that I got but it doesn't work. I understand that the file needs to be unzipped and I did this using winzip.

I tried to "install" the theme under the "appearance" folder in Wordpress but then it didn't work because the file is in the Winzip folder and I can't seem to copy and paste it on my desktop or in a folder.

Can you please help me here?

Kind regards,

Hi Sabrina,

You first need to extract the files out of winzip so that the files are no longer in a zip file. You should then be able to select the folder to install. So the steps are:

1. Open WordPress admin panel, and go to the Appearance -> Themes tab.

2. At the top click the Install Themes tab

3. The click the Upload link to upload the theme package file from your computer.

4. Open the template package and locate the theme### folder. You need to arhcive this folder to have something line theme###.zip file. It’s required by the WordPress uploader as it can’t handle the folder uploads.

5. When you are done archiving the theme folder go back to the WordPress admin panel and at the upload page browse for the theme###.zip fie and click Install Now button.

6. When the upload is complete you need to Activate the theme. Click the Activate theme link.

Alternatively you can do it via FTP. To do it via that method follow these steps:

Download the theme archive and extract the files. You need to preserve the directory structure in the archive when extracting these files. Using an FTP client to access your host web server, create a directory to contain your theme in the "wp-content/themes" directory provided by WordPress. For example, a theme named "th_theme" should be in "wp-content/themes/th_theme".

Upload the theme files to the new directory on your host server. To select the active theme for your site:

1. Log in to the WordPress Administration Panel.

2. Select the "Presentation" sub panel.

3. From the "Select" column in the table, click on "Select" for the theme you wish to activate.

To view the new look, click "View Site" at the top of the Panel’s screen. Your selection should immediately become active.

Thank you! I've extracted the file fron winzip into another folder and now it's under this name: theme1093.sql

After this, I tried to install it on Wordpress but then it constantly fails. It says, "Unpacking the package… Incompatible Archive. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature."

Hi Sabrina,

You need to extract much more than just theme1093.sql.

You should be extracting the entire folder from the template package. Then after that you need to re-package it as a .zip file if you want to install it through the WordPress interface.

So again what you need to do is first open your zip file and look for the theme### folder. Then extract that folder out to your computer. Then re-package that as a separate zip file. Then with that file that is the file that your WordPress is looking for.

Alternatively you can just upload via FTP per the other instructions.

I hope that helps.

Hello Brian,

Thank you. I've managed to extract the folder "sources_mq0G344XTC" and then zip it. I also found the public or 'themes' folder when I connected to my host using "Filezilla" but then it takes too long to upload. I don't know if it was the correct file? Sometmes it says things like "file transfer failed" and "transfer complete," but then it starts to upload again! :(

Also, I tried to upload the theme again on wordpress but then it failed...again!

Hi Sabrina,

With the file transfer failed or it taking too long to upload, that could be either related to the web host you chose, or your actual internet connection with your ISP may have issues. You may need to contact them for assistance with that part, as that isn't related to the template itself.

As for the file to upload, it isn't the sources_mq0G344XTC, it would just be the themes folder that you need to extract and then zip up.

I hope that helps.

Hi James,

You will most likely have to change that in the .fla file directly. Don't think any sort of functionality is already built in the template to do that, but you can pretty much customize the template however you want since you have full access to the source .fla file. You will just have to know how to use Adobe Flash enough to be able to do something like that. You may want to try and find some tutorials via Google to for rotating images in Adobe Flash.

Hello,

Here I am AGAIN! :)

So, I've managed to upload the theme, change some texts, etc; but there's one "big" problem: changing the picture(s) within the flash and finding some of the pics that are visible on the template website! I can't seem to do this.

Also, there are certain "categories" that require links/pages and I can't seem to do this either. For example: In the header, I'd like a link/page for the "contact us" thing but I'm quite oblivious as to how this is done, and I've searched all over google (or maybe not) and I still can't seem to find an answer! :(

I've checked the site for your tutorials but the ones I really want to read dont have a page with more information.

Kind regards,

I will send you a few tutorial links to see if that helps you with changing the pictures within the flash parts of the template. I am not certain I am sure what you are referring to when you say:

Quote:
...and finding some of the pics that are visible on the template website!


As far as a link/page for the contact us thing, currently the contacts link look like it takes you to a contact form on the template. Are you wanting this to have different content instead? I will also send you a tutorial which explains how to edit pages within WordPress.

If you are wanting to remove the Flash portions, that would require you to edit the HTML directly I believe. That means you would have to edit the actual template parts. I don't think we have any tutorials with that part, but the Flash parts in the HTML usually have the object and embed HTML tags. So if you look for that you might be able to find those parts easier.

Hopefully those other tutorials I sent you will be of assistance if you decide to try and edit the flash.

Hello,

Can I please have someone customize the template from me? There are still certain areas that I can't seem to edit/change on my own. The main problem right now is the flash and the pictures/texts included in the flash. Even editing the texts in the "grey box" is a it complicated!

It says, on this site, that I could have someone do it for $49, or am I wrong? Is there a way for me to send you the pictures I want on my website, along with anything else that requires amendment, so then you can make my website beautiful?

Hi Sabrina,

I believe for $49 through checkout you could have someone implement your logo for you, or install the website. I don't think for $49 you could have someone customize your site. I am not exactly sure how much our customization department would quote you. I will e-mail you shortly with more information on how to contact our customization department.

So, in the CSS below the flash that contains the 3 columns: Haiti, Crisis, Medical, etc..: I am changing it to use images as a background instead of text - and I am also replacing the button(s). The problem is, I have basically only modified the existing CSS (.but1) which contains padding for the image - however, I don't know where to go to adjust the positioning of the button. Right now (www.unitedheartsghana.org) You can see that it's almost finished, but the button positioning is off. I can't use top/left/right/left etc.. positioning, because that positions the buttons relative to the document, not within the CSS container for each column, so I'm a bit stuck at the moment - could you please tell me where to go to do this?

thanks

Hi James,

There are probably numerous ways you can do this. If you edit the CSS for .but1 class you could adjust the margin by adding something like this:

margin: -30px 0 0 0;

You will see that will move the button up 30 pixels. The first number is for the top margin, the second number is for the right margin, the third number is for the bottom margin, and the last number is for the left margin. Let me know if that helps!

Hi Sabrina!

The source .fla Flash files should be in the sources.zip file inside of the template package that you downloaded. For security reasons the directory containing all the source files of the template ("SOURCES_XXXXXXXX") is in a compressed (zipped) file and password protected. As soon as the zip file begins to uncompress, you will be prompted to type in a password.

The password is the ID number of your order. Please let me know if you have any problems finding this zip file and the source files you need.

I will have the billing department re-send you the template package zip file to download. The source file you are looking for only comes as part of that package, they are not separately in our system.

The dump file is referring to the SQL file that you would import to get the template to be populated with all of the data that is shown in the demo. Basically once you import the dump SQL file it gets your template to the state to look exactly like it is shown in the demo. Typically the dump.sql file is located in the sources.zip file which is included in your template package. You will usually need a password to extract any files from that zip file, and the password is your order ID. I hope that helps :)

Hi Gregory!

This template was made and only tested with WordPress 2.9. You are more than welcome to use it with Wordpress 3.1 and it may work fine, but there is a chance that there could be a few problems that you need to fix to get it to work correctly.

Most webhosts provide you some sort of access to phpMyAdmin or some other sort of database tools with your hosting account. Most customers usually go into phpMyAdmin and then select the right database for your WP setup, and then run the SQL that is in the dump file.

I don't think there would be anything you would have to do with permissions, you just need to find out from your webhost how you can manage your databases. Again most web hosts do provide you some sort of access to phpMyAdmin, as that would be the easiest tool to do this. So you may want to ask your host about that.

Love this template and I purchased it...

Any chance that flash part is available in html or a different script? editing the FLA is not easy and anyone editing this template would need to know flash pretty well.

also.. phones, ipads, ipods etc.. basically anything mobile these days are not flash friendly..

hope you can help.. otherwise i am in the process of downloading a program in hopes it'll be able to convert the FLA to HTML.

Hi Samantha,

Sorry for the delay. The techs just got back to me and this design's flash parts are not available in HTML or anything else as far as they are aware. I am not entirely sure, but you might look at the PSD file to see if you can export anything there. Otherwise hopefully that program you downloaded can help you convert the Flash parts over to static HTML and images.

Wish I could be of more help there.

Hi Sabrina,

Sorry to hear you are still having issues. How long after I sent you the download links did you try to download it? The links only stay active for about 72 hours, so you need to make sure you download them in a reasonable time after I re-activate them.

How are you trying to edit the images and text in the Flash file?

As far as replacing the text and images in the Flash portions, did you follow our tutorials? How did you try to change them, are you receiving some sort of error when you try to swap them out? Or are you just not sure what to do? Please provide me specific details so that I can help assist you. Thanks!

We can't edit the 'fla' file because we can't seem to locate it. Neither have we followed your tutorials because the videos don't work for us. Isn't there a less complicated way? It seems as though other queries on this forum are about the flash as well... maybe there's just a problem with it?

Hmm, sounds like lots of problems. The videos all work fine for me :(

What browser are you using to view the videos? Are you receiving a certain error message?

The only way to edit the Flash is by editing the given .fla source files that come in the package. I am still waiting on the billing department, but once the link is re-activated I will also look in your package to confirm everything is there before sending you the link. There should be a sourcesXXXXX.zip file inside the package that has the FLA files, from my understanding you do not see that correct?

Hi Sabrina,

Okay I have downloaded and looked at the exact template package you should have received and I do see the sources zip file inside the main zip package. When you download the template package inside you will see a zip file named exactly this:

sources_u42uO2jefe.zip

You need to extract that file and then open it up and you will see the flash source file in this location:

sources/flash/header_v8.fla

To extract the file you will need a password, and that password is your order ID. I will send you a short e-mail of where you can re-download your template, and your password (the order id). Expect that in the next few minutes. Thanks!

As far as the tutorial videos, are you receiving a certain error message when trying to play them? They do require Adobe Flash installed in you browser to make them play. You can go here to get that if you don't have it:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

You might also try using a different browser to see if that gets you around the problem of seeing our tutorials. I am also using Firefox and am having no problems playing the videos. I just tried before writing this message to make sure they are working. If they still do not work after installing Flash, please let me know what error messages you are receiving. The videos will help you greatly in being able to customize your Flash file.

Hi Liseth,

This is a standard WordPress template that works with the WordPress backend system, but if you plan to customize it you will need to edit the template files directly. In your order download e-mail you will see links there to the tutorial area. Simply click on "CMS & Blog Templates", then "WordPress" and then "Tutorials" and you can see all of the help files there for videos and text tutorials on how to do basic customizations to your template. If you have any problems finding this let me know and I can e-mail you some links to a few tutorials there.

You are absolutely welcome to use it with other versions, but it may require you to make modifications to the template to get it to work correctly. We are also available at an additional charge if after you purchase it you need help getting it to be fully compatible.

I am very interested in buying your theme... but, I would like to know how difficult it would be to edit the theme if I was using the newest version of Wordpress. Could you send me the tutorial videos so I can see the actual grunt work I am going to have to do to change some of the Flash Text.

I can get myself around WordPress and I understand the concept of code if instructed well.

Please send me the tutorial videos and if it seems simple enough I would be happy to purchase your theme.

Thanks

Keep in mind that this template was created for WordPress 2.9, so you may have to modify some of the theme to get everything working correctly for any WordPress 3.x installation. Other than that I will send those tutorial videos over to you shortly via e-mail.

Thanks again for sending me those tutorials. So just to straighten a few things out real quick. To change the text all I will need is dreamweaver? Does the template come with a donation form and or connect to paypal? To change the landing (home) page image would i need to get macromedia flash? Would I need to use flaw on all the images i want to import ?

*side note I am using WP 3.X

Thanks,

How can i edit this fonts?

Hi Pat,

If you take a look at our demo, that is exactly how the template will come. It will have the exact same features as shown there. So if something does not work there, then it will not work in what you download. If something does work on the demo, then it should work on what you download. Our designers will sometimes develop things on the frontend to give you a good starting point and further ideas on what you can do that you may need to further develop on your own. When I took a look at the demo I did not see any donation form or connect to Paypal, which means you may need to find some sort of Paypal plugin or edit the template directly to implement that portion.

If you wish to change the Flash on the homepage, or any other page with this template then yes you would need an Adobe Flash editor at least version 8 or greater.

Would I need to use flaw on all the images i want to import ?


Not exactly sure what you are referring to here. If you could explain a bit more for me so I can answer your question. Thanks!

Since you are using WP 3.x just keep in mind that you may need to resolve some issues to get everything to work correctly.

Hi ilke tutku enol,

Okay I have an answer for you. This will show you how to use the Cufon plugin with WordPress. Cufon is a jquery plugin that allows you to use custom fonts on your website and guarantees that custom fonts will have same appearance for all visitors.

Cufon font-replacement feature in WordPress can be activated installing the WP-Cufón plugin. So make sure you install this plugin first.

1. First you have to convert your font-file into a Cufón compatible format. Currently TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), Printer Font Binary (PFB) formats are supported.

2. You can do this by using Cufón’s own generator at http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/

3. Open /wp-content/plugins/ folder and create fonts folder. There you’ll upload the cufon font files (.font.js). The Plugin will recognize your uploaded fonts and activate them.

4. Open WordPress admin panel, go to Appearance>Cufon.

5. Into the Your Cufón replacement-code field input the font replacement code. For Example:

Quote:
Cufon.replace ('nav a', { fontFamily:'Myriad Pro', hover:true});
Cufon.replace ('.entry-title, .page-title, .widget-title', { fontFamily:'Myriad'});


You should define the HTML element (h1 – h6, div, body, a, input etc) or some css class or ID (.entry-title, .widget-title, #content etc) and font family.

Font family name could be found in your .font.js file ( Cufon.registerFont({"w":205,"face":{"font-family":"Vegur Bold", ... )

6. When you are done click Save Settings at the botom of the page.

I hope this helps. Let me know!

Hi Phil!

The text that you are referring to can be edited via the WordPress dashboard. It is located in Appearance - Editor - file header.php

There really isn't a module for that to just point, click, and update. When you do the above you are actually editing the source template file via the WordPress admin area. So please keep that in mind. If you have any problems editing that please let us know. You are more than welcome to customize the template as much as you want, changing text, images, the layout, etc. The difficulty of that will vary depending on your skill level at working with WordPress and web design.

Hi Kevin,

The tech responded back to me and told me this. To edit read more buttons links on home page please edit header.php file from the Appearance - Editor section in the WordPress Admin area. Please edit the following lines:

<a href="#" class="but1">Read More</a>
<a href="#" class="but2">Read More</a>
<a href="#" class="but3">Read More</a>

Please replace # with your URL. If you wish to edit Flash button links you can do that as well, the tech created a video tutorial for how to do that. You can view that here:

http://www.ozzu.com/examples/template-30418/assign-link-donate-button.html

I hope that helps!

Hi Kevin,

That tutorial shows you how to change what the 3 large buttons link to, does it not? Or what is happening when you follow the video tutorial? Basically to sum up with the video is showing you need to edit:

tfile_main.xml

in the soures/flash folder. This allows you to change/assign links to the three large buttons. After you put the URL into the tags there you would then save that file, open the Flash file, and the export the movie and save it over your other on your website. You will also want to clear your cache and completely close your browser so that it loads the new changes you made.

Quote:
Also the text that says "hati" and "southeast asia" as well as the text that accompanies it.


I am not sure I am following what you are referring to here. Is this a different problem, or related to the same issue that you were trying to resolve?

Hi Kevin,

No, please do not upload the sources zip file to your hosting account. Simply open that on your computer and extract the files there. Then follow the steps to change the XML file and re-export the SWF file and it is that that file, the SWF file that you will want to upload over the other one on your server. At that point you will want to clear your cache and close your browsers before re-loading the website.

I think I see what you are referring to as well for changing the Haiti and Crisis text. In case you did not see our tutorials yet, I will e-mail that link to you shortly. There are numerous tutorials there that can probably help you with many of these questions on how to customize different parts of the template.

Hi Aaron!

What is the name of your database? Did you select that before you tried to import the dump file? If you did but are still getting that error, you can try to add this to the top of the dump file:

use your_database_name;

And then try to import it again. Hopefully that will make sure your database is selected before proceeding. Your current error indicates that no database was selected, so hopefully this will fix that.

That worked just fine. Thank you. However, now when I go to the site, there's nothing there. It just comes up with a blank page. Is there something I have to activate before I can see the site? I'm sorry for the annoying question follow-up. Typically I don't have this much trouble. I'm very excited to get this template up and running. -Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Before you installed the dump file was the website working with WordPress 2.9 and this template installed? You should install the dump file as the last step as it just sets up a few of the last things to get it to match the demo exactly. Please advise. Thanks!

AHHH! I'm using version 3.2.1. The web site was installed successfully before, just in it's threadbare state. Is there a way to go back to using 2.9? Your help is invaluable. -Aaron

Hi Aaron!

No problem! Glad you got it to work. Was curious if you resolved it by installing it on WordPress 2.9? or if you fixed something else and still got it to work with WordPress 3.2.1?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

You are more than welcome to customize the background if you would like. Changing the color may require you to change other elements too if you want everything to compliment each other. The difficulty of changing the background will depend on your skills at working with WordPress, web design, graphics, and CSS.

Hi Michael,

Did you have any questions about the theme that you would like answered? This theme works with WordPress and has been tested to work with WordPress 2.9. On any newer versions of WordPress there is a chance that you might need to fix parts of the theme to get everything to work correctly.

It has to do with your web host configuration. If you goto the file it is trying to load:

http://www.betad.org/wp-content/themes/theme1093/flash/header_v8.swf?xmlUrl=http://www.betad.org/wp-content/themes/theme1093/flash/tfile_main.xml

You will see it that the error is:

Quote:
403 Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied! Powered By LiteSpeed Web Server


If you are not sure how to fix that you may need to contact your webhost to see why the file is not being allowed to be served.

Hey,

It's Aaron again, back with a quick question:

I have a web developer working on this template right now, and she can't find the reason why the web site isn't pulling from the blog. Basically, no matter what we do, post do no appear in the blog section as displayed in the live demo. Was wondering if you had any answers for this. Everything else works fine except for that one thing, so everything was installed correctly. Would love some help. Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

Are you using WordPress 2.9, or a 3.x version? I will send this to our techs to see if they have any clues. It is possible that if you are using a 3.x version that part of the template needs to be updated to pull the posts correctly.

Hi Aaron,

I am not sure offhand, but I would advise just going through the template, particularly the part of the template where you are having problems and making sure it is using proper WordPress code that is compatible with 3.x. If you go here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

You can see the proper way that posts are pulled via the loop. You could have your developer make sure all of that looks correct.

If things already look correct, did you first install the template on WordPress 2.9 to see if it worked, and then upgraded to the current 3.x version to see if it breaks at that point?

Still waiting to hear back from the techs, sometimes they can take up to 24-48 hours, but as soon as I get a response I will let you know what they think.

Hey,

So, my designer brought on two developer friends of hers who have been in the business for 15 years, and they haven't been able to resolve the issue. They say that either something is missing or that the compatibility issues are unresolvable. In any case, We might have to go with a new template since we are using one for a major non-profit and we're on such a tight deadline. At the same time, I really don't what to have to go back to the drawing board over this. You've been so helpful throughout this process. I just wanted know if you knew of any other work-arounds or if the techs got back to you yet? Thanks so much for your help. -Aaron

Hi Aaron,

The techs just got back to me now actually. If you still have the time, they would like to request the link to your site, FTP access, and your WP admin login details so that they can take a look themselves to see if they can resolve it for you. If that is something you can allow please just respond to the notification e-mail for this post with the information and I will pass that to them to take a look. Please don't post that information on this post.

For a developer to say something is unresolvable in my opinion cannot be true. I believe something like this is resolvable, anything can be coded around a problem to fix it. A better choice might be difficult or time consuming for them to fix. From the sound of it you are on a time constraint, so maybe that is what they are referring to. Anyway I just wanted to point that out as I do think this is a fixable problem -- just have to figure out the cause.

Hi Aaron,

Sorry for the delay. The techs finally did respond to me today and said this:

Quote:
Unfortunately your template is not compatible with Wordpress 3.3

Please install required version which are mentioned on product information page:

software required WordPress 2.9


So with that said you have a couple of options. The first is you can scrap this template and try one of our WordPress 3.x templates. The second option is you can have us go through and upgrade the template for an additional fee. We charge $150/hr for custom services like that, so that may or may not be in your budget. Your cheapest route would probably be to find a template that is already made for the 3.x version.

Again apologies for the delay, took the tech team a few days to get back to me. Wish I had a better answer for you.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. We'll probably just find another template to get with, as 150/hr is unfortunately outside of the budget. You have been absolutely wonderful working through this issue. Despite that we're going to go with another template, I would still highly recommend both you and your templates for future projects. -Aaron

As long as Godaddy allows you to run PHP and use MySQL I see no reason why you would not be able to install WordPress and use this template. You may want to ask them. If you are still looking for a host we also offer website hosting and we fully support all of our templates.

It would make sense to do an upgrade or take this down. It's a lot of money for a them that doesn't work with the latest version, especially since someone looking for a theme is likely to be using the latest version.

I understand what you are saying Nathan, however, we still get users wanting to use this with the older legacy WordPress 2.x software. That is the main reason we do not remove templates that are not created with the latest versions in mind.

Second, we also get users who decide to buy this theme and upgrade it to be compatible to WordPress 3.x themselves because they cannot find another look that they want.

This theme was recently released as a Flash CMS Charity Template, not sure if you would be interested in that.

If our developers ever create a version of this template made for WordPress 3.x I will be sure to post an update here.

Yes please edit every single one of those "your_website_url_here" text in the SQL file and replace with your own. You need to do that before you execute the SQL in phpMyAdmin.

We have no instructions on how to update this theme to be compatible to a newer version of WordPress. Others in the past have used this theme with newer version of WordPress and I believe had to make a few changes to get it to all work correctly. There are numerous tutorials on the internet which explain how to update WordPress themes to be compatible to newer versions.

My recommendation to you if you really want this theme would be to first buy it and see if you can make it work. If you cannot figure out how to make it work with the latest version of WordPress we are available at an additional charge to go in and upgrade it for you.

I know that isn't exactly the answer you wanted, but I hope it helps you some.

Hi LeAnn,

According to the billing department that is correct because we can only guarantee that it works with Wordpress 2.9. Even for our Charity WordPress 3.x themes we can only guarantee that they will work with WordPress 3.x. They are not guaranteed to work with any other version specified. The main reason for not providing refunds is that you will have already downloaded the product and it is impossible to "return" it.

However, as previously mentioned you could hire us, someone in your local area, or you could hire a freelancer to fix the template for you if you have any compatibility problems. Hiring a freelancer might be a good cheap solution for you as numerous web developers will bid on your project to upgrade it. Similar to how a builder might use numerous contractors and have them bid for the project.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Hi LeAnn and others who are wanting to upgrade to the latest WordPress 3.3.2 (at the time of this writing)!

Due to the overwhelming demand to know if this template will work on the later versions of WordPress, I went ahead and tried to do this myself. The short answer is yes, it will work. Officially we can only guarantee that it will work with WordPress 2.9, but if you follow the steps I am about to show you this template can work correctly on 3.3.2.

The key to getting the template working like in the demo above with WordPress 3.3.2 is that you cannot just install the latest version of WordPress and then install the template as well as the theme1093.sql dump file. You will find that after you follow all of the right steps that the template will not look like it does in the demo with WordPress 3.3.2. Much of the content will be missing. The easiest way to get it to work correctly is to first install WordPress 2.9 as required by the template. Then install the template as well as import the theme1093.sql dump file. You will then find that it looks like the demo. Now at this point we can upgrade Wordpress from 2.9 to 3.3.2. Backup your database first and then when you upgrade to the latest version of WordPress you will find that the template will still look like it does in the demo and function correctly.

Why does this way work when doing it this way? It works because this template was created for WordPress 2.9, so when installing on WordPress 3.3.2 there are compatibility problems with the dump file. However, when you install this template on WordPress 2.9 and then upgrade to WordPress 3.3.2 the WordPress upgrade script correctly upgrades your WordPress install as well as all of the demo content on template 30418. I tested this out and it in fact does work.

Since this seems like a common question, I am also going to create a video soon on the entire process as that might be easier for people to follow. Stay tuned and hope this is useful for some of you who are on the fence to whether or not to buy this template.

Hi, I have just purchased template 30418 and am quite proficient with wordpress but not with flash. Do you have any tutorials on how to do the following with the flash file:

How to change the main 3 images

How to get the horizontal blocks below the images to resize if I add different words - (ie: if I change the word 'pray' to 'please donate items' I have managed to get the words to show but the block the word appears in does not resize - the words overlap into the next area)

How to attach hyperlinks to all buttons on the flash video so the navigation works

Thanks

Hi John,

If you plan to use this template on WordPress 3+, the catch is that with this template you will first need to install it on WordPress 2.9. Once you have followed the instructions to install it, then you would at that time upgrade to the current version of WordPress which at this moment is 3.4.1. I have tested it going that route and upgrading that way works. I have a video in the works, but am not ready to post it on this page yet. I do plan to do that soon, as that could be a good way to really understand exactly what sort of process you would go through.

Other than that there would be no coding involved unless you need to customize the template further to look differently than what you see above in the demo.

If you have any other questions please let me know and I would be happy to help!

Hi John,

In my opinion this is very easy, but I am also very experienced. I guess it depends on if you are typically good at following technical instructions. To get this to work you will be working with WordPress, you will have to have some knowledge of working with web hosting, uploading files, etc. I imagine the organization you are working for already has a domain and hosting, but if they do not we also offer that service and could install the template free of charge if they host with us (re-occurring fees for hosting). Alternatively you could pay us to install and update the template, but I suppose that defeats your purpose here.

What you could do is download our sample wordpress theme, and see if you are able to get that functioning correctly. If you can get that functioning, then you should have the necessary skills to use this template. Hopefully that helps in determining if this template is for you.

Hi John,

During the checkout process, you will see an option you can check to have someone install it for you. At this time I believe that is $49. They will install it for you with WordPress 2.9 as that is the only version we can guarantee it will work on. Once it is installed, you could then go through and update to the current WordPress by going in the WordPress admin area, I don't believe that price would include that part, but generally that process is very simple.

As I mentioned above I have tested upgrading this template to a newer version of WordPress and it has worked for me, however, our official support only covers it working on version 2.9, but I would be more than happy to try and point you on the right path if you run into any issues.

Hi,
If I purchase this template then it should work on the new wordpress version if installed on the old one? Additionally does it come with all the tabs and pages seen in the live demo meaning will I get the exact replica of the live demo?

Hi John,

Yes, it will look identical to the demo as long as you follow the instructions and make sure to install the dump.sql file. The dump file will only work with WordPress 2.9, so you need to make sure to install the template with that version, then follow the instructions for the dump file at the tutorial website. Once everything is installed and looks like you see in the demo, then at that point you can try upgrading to the current version of WordPress via your WordPress admin panel. Like I mentioned before, for me this worked when I tested going this route. It did not work installing this template directly onto a new version of WordPress as the dump file is incompatible for that.

Hope that makes sense!

Hi,
Yes it makes sense if installed correctly on the old version then I can update to the new version and it should work fine without any issues. Just to double check all the pages and tabs and everything would already be there and be included in the template all I would do then would replace the existing information with the info for the organization that I'm volunteering for.

Hi John,

According to my tests everything did work fine. We can only guarantee that the template will work 100% correctly with WordPress 2.9. While you can upgrade and while for me it did work with the latest version of WordPress, there is no guarantee that down the road a WordPress update could cause an issue that you would have to resolve. I would always advise you do a full backup of your website before performing any upgrades, so that just in case things go bad you can always revert to your last version. Keep that in mind that this template has only been fully tested with WordPress 2.9. If you ever have issues feel free to post here and I would be happy to try and point you in the right direction for a fix.

All tabs and pages as you see in the demo will be there. You would just replace information, images, posts, other content, etc.

We do have a section for WordPress 3.x Templates. I would suggest browsing through any of those. What I would suggest is looking at the look and feel to see if something would fit your needs. Remember you can always replace pictures and content, so even if a template is about cooking, you can still change that.

Great I checked out the link you sent me and like Wordpress Template 38857, this one also has all tabs and pages as seen in the demo and I would just need to replace information, images, posts, other content. Additionally would it be simpler to install and use then this theme?

The installation process would be similar. You would probably need to install a dump file still if you want it to look identical to the demo. However, this other template is already made for WordPress 3.x, so you should most likely have no problems installing it on the latest version of WordPress since the latest Wordpress is still in the 3.x range. Template 38857 was made and tested with WordPress 3.3.1, so if for some reason you did have a problem installing it on a later version of WordPress, you would want to try installing it on that version first before upgrading. However, typically major changes with the WordPress database do not change with minor updates, so I am thinking that wouldn't be an issue and you could probably install it on the current version of WordPress, unlike the template on this page which would need to be installed with WordPress 2.9.

Hi Elliot,

Yes, you can change the images to any photos that you want. You can change any of the content in the template to meet your needs.

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for the additional information. Please keep in mind that this template was made for WordPress 2.9, and I have tested and encountered numerous issues installing this template directly to any WordPress 3.x.x website. To get this template working correctly I would recommend first installing this template on WordPress 2.9. Then once fully installed, and after you have installed the SQL dump file, you would then upgrade via the WordPress admin area to the latest WordPress, such as WordPress 3.4.1.

Also with the template zip file that you download from us, make sure you are not trying to install the entire zip file. That file contains much more than just the WordPress installation zip file, it also includes source files and other files that can help you if you need to edit the template. You will need to make sure you follow our instructions. In case you did not locate those instructions, I will send you a short e-mail in a few minutes with the links. The instructions link is also shown in your original template download e-mail.

If you still have problems after following our instructions please let me know so that I can help.

Hi,

I would like to know if I would be able to change the background to be an image - that will be stretched (high quality) as apposed to having a tiled background image?

Many thanks

Hi Gareth,

You are absolutely welcome to do that and to customize the look and feel as much as you want. Keep in mind that when you stretch any image the quality will degrade, but you are welcome to change the background to whatever you would like.

Hi Brian,

I would like to purchase this theme...had a couple of questions first -
: can I customize to use my own images?
: can I customize the tabs?
: can I customize the colors?
This is a great looking theme and I plan to use it for our NGO. But before I make the purchase I do need to know if I can make changes.

Thanks,
Ajay.

Hi Ajay,

For all of your questions, the answer is yes. You are more than welcome to customize it by using your own images. You are welcome to change the look of the theme, the text, content, etc to meet your needs. That includes changing colors, etc. The difficulty of doing any of that though will depend on your skill level at working with web design which includes HTML, CSS, and your understanding of WordPress and how to edit WordPress based themes. So that could be anywhere from easy to hard depending on your skills.

You may want to try and download one of our sample WordPress templates, which you can access from the menu on your right. That might give you a good idea of what to expect.

I hope that helps, if you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks!

Hi there,

Unpacked the Charity Center WordPress Theme 30418 zip and got it up and running, however there was no .fla file. I am also having difficulty customizing the top menu and submenus.

Please advise.

Hi Wez,

Inside the template package zip file you will see another zip file with the name sources in it. What you need to do is extract that zip file, and then open that archive. That zip file is password protected, to gain access to it you will need to use your order ID as shown in your template download e-mail as the password. Inside there you will find the source fla files, psd files, etc.

As far as customizing the top menu and submenus, I will provide you a link shortly via e-mail to many of our tutorials which can help you with the customization process. If you still have any questions after that please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon on the info regarding unlocking the zip file. As far as the menus, I have tried the traditional way as noted in the tutorial link you sent, which did not work. I am also trying to remove the left widget column on all pages in the theme.

Please advise.

Hi Wez,

What version of WordPress are you using. Have you already installed the dump SQL files? As far as customizing the menus, are you simply trying to change the text, or are you trying to change the look of the menus? Or what exactly are you wanting to do? Do you have this website in a public location so that we can see what things currently look like? Thanks!

The site is up at wezireland.com/saveccsf - I uploaded the theme directory in the structure it was delivered. I resolved the menu issue, but I would still like to omit the Left Widget Column at the bottom, merging the main body over that section.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Wez,

At that tutorial area I showed you, did you already try the tutorials labeled:

"How to make widgets appear/disappear on needed pages"
"Hidden widgets"
"How to add/remove widgets"

Some of those tutorials show the traditional way with WordPress, while others show different ways if the traditional ways are not working. Please make sure you view all those tutorials as I believe one of them should do the trick for you.

If you are still having problems after trying those tutorials please let me know. Thanks!

Please advise,

I found it! I changed some settings in the CSS:

#content .column-left{ width:0px; margin-right:10px; float:left}
#content .column-center{width:645px; float:left}
#content .column-right{width:205px; margin-right:10px; float:right}

and #'d out the left tail2.gif (background vertical line).

Thank you so much for your responsiveness!

Kind Regards,

Hi Wez,

Okay I looked more into this for you. What is happening as you probably noticed is that in the widget area of the admin section if you put something in the left sidebar, then the default stuff disappears. However, if you don't put anything, then the default items show which is the "Meta" and "Archive" section.

Here is what you need to do to remove that section completely. In the WordPress admin area goto:

Appearance

Then

Editor

Then on the right hand side under Templates click on sidebar-1.php. Then at that point you may want to copy all the text in there and save in a notepad editor for backup. Then remove all of the text:

<div class="column-left">
...
</div>

so that basically all that is left there is:

<div class="column-center">

Then click on "Update File"

At that point you will need to make a few CSS changes so that the center column covers a wider area. So what you need to edit next is the stylesheet which is on that same editor page under "Styles". Click on "Stylesheet" and find where it says:

#content .column-center

In there change width from 425px to 694px. Finally one last change is to find in that same stylesheet where it says:

.bg

and basically comment out or remove that entire block. Once you make those changes above it should be how you want.

Remember to backup all your files before making these changes just in case you do something wrong.

I hope that helps.

Brian

I must have been working on my response the same time you were. Your way works as well, basically just hides the content but will still be there in the source. If you want to fully remove that sidebar from the source you may want to follow my instructions.

Glad you figured out a way too! Thanks for sharing the fix :)

It seems there's a lot of issues with Flash with this theme. Could you verify where Flash is used? On quick glance it appears it's only the 960 x 525 block on the homepage, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't anywhere else before I considered pulling it out to replace with js. Any chance you could recommend a similar theme from OZZU with a jquery carousel on the homepage?

Am I too hopeful when I ask - is this a responsive theme?
Also, can I adjust the amount of columns in the Wordpress UI or do I need to edit the CSS?
Can I choose to show or hide the 'block' (with three columns under the flash chunk) from regular pages?

It would be nice to be able to see what can easily be tweaked before paying for a theme. Is this a feature you're considering for future themes?

Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda!

Flash is mainly used where you mentioned in that main block. If you look at the demo you can see exactly how it is used there. You are more than welcome to replace that with a jQuery carousel instead.

Also this theme is not a responsive theme. We do have a few charity responsive website themes that you might want to take a look at. They are not integrated with WordPress though, not sure if that would be a requirement.

With any of the problems mentioned above, some people have them and some don't. It usually comes down to the experience at working with web design, flash, etc. So for some things could be extremely easy, and for others they might need to work with us to figure things out if they are unsure how to do what they want.

As far as seeing how things are, unfortunately we do not provide free any access to our templates and have no plans for that as it would be very easy for visitors to steal designs. We do offer sample templates which might assist you in getting an idea of what to expect.

As far as changing columns that may be something you need to edit in the template itself and changing CSS. I don't think you are able to do that via the admin area for this template.

I hope that helps with your questions, if you have any others please let me know. Thanks!

This template is not built to be responsive for different devices, so you would have to do some work if you want it to be that way. We do sell responsive templates that work for multiple devices that you may want to check out.

Hi Melissa!

Are you simply wanting to change what they link to? If so follow this quick video tutorial:

http://www.ozzu.com/examples/template-30418/assign-link-donate-button.html

If you are wanting to actually change what they say I believe you will need to edit the header_v8.fla file which you can find in the sources zip file. You will need an Adobe Flash editor to be able to make changes there.

Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions. Thanks!

Hello Again,

I am currently working with this template, and there are certain pages on my site in which I would like to remove the grey bar which has the 3 features (Haiti, crisis, medical fund). Could you tell me what file includes this, and how I can remove it from specific pages, because I only need it on my main page.


Thanks,

Hi Melissa,

What you will need to do is find header.php in the theme folder and there is some html that starts like this:

Quote:
<div class="block">
<div class="container bg">
<div class="container bg1">
<div class="col-1">
<img alt="" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/img-1.jpg" class="img-1" />
<div class="indent-col">
<h3><strong>Haiti</strong> <br /><strong>Earthquake</strong> </h3>
...


Right before that HTML starts you need to add:

Quote:
<?php if (is_home()) : ?>


and after the last closing div for that block you need to add:

Quote:
<?php endif; ?>


and that should make it so that area only shows up on your home page. I hope that helps!

Hi Melissa,

You will want to change it in your theme folder, in the example video they did it in the sources folder which won't work for your live site. So it would be at this location:

wp-content/themes/theme1093/flash/tfile_main.xml

I hope that helps :)

Hi Melissa,

That would be possible to do, but by default this template does not do that. If you wanted such a feature you would be required to use the wp_get_recent_posts function as outlined on this page:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_recent_posts

and then with that you could grab the latest 3 posts and display those there. Depending on your experience at working with web design, WordPress, and programming, this could be an advanced task as far as being able to implement this.

Hi Melissa,

Inside your template package there will be a sources.zip file that you will need to extract all of the files from. The password is your order ID. Inside that file will be the source .fla files that you need to be able to change any images in the Flash parts of the website. You will need an Adobe Flash editor to be able to edit that part.

In your download e-mail there is a link to all of our tutorials. In that section you can also find Flash tutorials which show you how to change images in the .fla source files.

I hope that helps!

Hi Melissa,

When you open up header_v8.fla what you need to do is open the library by pressing F11 in your Adobe Flash editor. Once you see the library on the right hand side scroll down until you see a folder called "pic_". Expand that folder and look for an image called "pic_5". Right click on that and goto properties, and then click the "Import" button and put in the new picture that you want. You will want to make sure that this new picture is the same dimensions as before which is 761 x 454 pixels.

I hope that helps!

Hi Achilles, unfortunately not with this template. You would have to pay for customization or do the work to replace the Flash portion with some sort of other sort of JavaScript slider.
