Question by Chloe

Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Chloe. Yes, that’s possible.
Question by Jerome Wilkins
Can I put my on slides in this template.
Jerome
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Jerome. I’m not quite following your question. Can you clarify a bit?
Question by Jim
Hi Michael,
Not “flip” at all. I should have explained better. My bad. Basically I want to have video on the site. Each month I will post a new video. I do not want to use YouTube or the others and embed the video. I would like to keep it on my site and run from my site. I have looked at WordPress “VideoPress” that would work and the quality is nice. (yes I understand that the video is hosted elsewhere)
More than likely on the front page as the feature article would link to the video page.
Thank you for your previous quick reply.
Jim
Answer by Michael Pollock
Understood Jim. Thanks for the clarification.
Question by Jim
Hi Michael,
Beautiful work here. I have been searching for some time looking for what works best for us.I do have a few questions though.
1) How difficult would it be to implement video? Basically this will be a video centric site as well as articles for a travel destination. More or less a travel news outlet with basic listing for companies.
2)Does your company offer modification work?
Thank you for your time,
Jim
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Jim. Not to be flip, but it depends on what you mean by “implement video.” With WordPress, it’s relatively simple to embed something like a Youtube video into a post or page. If that’s all you need to do, no problem.
Yes, we do offer modification work.
Question by spachez
hi, can i use these theme in other languages?
thank you
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Spachez. You can use it in other languages, but you’d need to do the translation yourself. It’s currently only available in English.
Question by Brian
Is it possible to have full-width featured items on other pages, or only on the home page?
Thanks,
Brian
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Brian. Yes, you can have full-width features on other pages, like this: http://wp-sublime.solostreamsites.com/page-templates/page-wide-features/.
Question by Sam
Hi
Last couple of questions then I’m good to buy….
1) Is there the option for the posts on the front page be to be full posts rather than highlights with thumbnails?
2) If I pay for a single use initially, can I upgrade later to multi-use paying only the $100 extra or would I have to pay an additional $179?
Thanks
Answer by Michael Pollock
Yes, you can have the posts on the home page be set up as full posts if you prefer.
Yes, you can upgrade later for the difference ($100).
Question by Sam
Can you tell me more about the ad banner options:
Can you add more than 4 125×125 banners per page and other banners eg 300×250?
Will the ads be the same on each page (site-wide) or can you customise certain pages/categories to have different banner ads?
Many thanks
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Sam. The ads in the sidebar can be whatever size you want as long as they fit within the size of the sidebar (300px wide). You can use as many as you like.
Because the sidebar is the same on each page, the ads would be the same on each page (site-wide). I believe there are plugins available that would allow you to use different ads on various pages, and you could do a search in the WordPress plugin directory to investigate that further.
Question by David
This theme displays three posts for each of six categories, which I like. However, I definitely prefer the more visible way the category name is set off in Smooth. How much effort is involved to change the background and font in the category name box? Note: I do have programming experience in other languages.
Also, can the box below the post be omitted from the setup screen? (Namely the box that displays the post date, 0 comments, & View Post)
Thanks, David
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi David. Yes, those sorts of changes can be accomplished. If you need some help on how to do it, the folks in our support forum can provide guidance.
Question by David
After looking at numerous magazine style themes sources, I’m settling in on SoloStream. I’m considering Launch, Genius, Sublime, and Clear. It is hard to tell what the real differences are. Some kind of table would be helpful to compare them. Also, I do like the two nav bars. Is one for pages and the other for posts?
It will be a business site where we want to display category (6 actually) information as you have it laid out. However, we expect to have posts for numerous categories, but we could also have pages of static information. All of it will need an easy way for the user to find–even if it were numerous years old. Suggestions?
Is there a money back guarantee? I can’t find mention of it. If there was, I could try several and keep what I liked.
Thanks, David
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi David. The only real differences are in the layout and design style of each theme.
One nav bar is for your pages, and the other is for post categories.
As far as making content easy to find, the best tool is the search form which is included in most of the themes. Also, a well-defined set of categories can help as well.
As for money back guarantees, because these are digital products, we don’t offer a money back guarantee unless there are extenuating circumstances. My best advice is to pick the theme with the most appealing visual design.
Question by Mike Prime
Is the Sublime template cross-browser safe – I need it to be compatible with ie6 and above.
Thanks in advance
Mike
Answer by Michael Pollock
Yes, Mike, it is cross-browser safe. It’s been tested with all major browsers, including I6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
Question by vijith
hi, Love this theme, the social button, posts display excellent. I wanted to purchase this theme. But before that i would like to know couple of things. Can it possible to remove the Featured content gallery ? I wanted to just show only one content along with a small thumbnail in the front page.
Any options to diplay posts line by line not as side by side?
Do you have some showcased sites using this theme?
Any discount coupon please?
Thanks
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi Vijith. Thanks for the kind words.
The featured content can be easily removed via the theme settings page, and posts can be displayed line-by-line rather than side-by side. See demo video here: http://wp-sublime.solostreamsites.com/demo-video/
We do cot currently have any showcased sites using the theme, however, it’s something that we plan to develop over the next several weeks.
There are currently no discount coupons available. We reduced prices by $20 on all themes earlier this month when we launched the new Solostream site.
Question by Charles
Just to clarify…If purchasing the “Multiple Use” version of your themes, we can remove the solostream link in the footer?
Thanks,
Charles
Answer by Michael Pollock
Yes, that’s correct Charles.
Question by Ken
Michael
Is there a theme that you offer that does this w/o custimization
Let me know
Ken
Answer by Michael
No. Sorry. It’s just not something that’s requested often.
It’s not really difficult to do though. I could walk you through it pretty easily.
Question by Ken
Hello Michael
I’m new to this. What if we did not want to allow for posts. Can that
be turned off.
Are photos easy to be loaded
Can we add a page of Industry news. The Industry news would be created as a mixed
feed from other sources and streamed to this page.
Thanks
Have a great day
Ken
Answer by Michael
Hi Ken. I’m afraid not quite following you on the first question “What if we did not want to allow for posts. Can that be turned off.” Can you say more about that?
Photos are easy to upload via the WordPress control panel. I did a short video that might explain it a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3o8diiev3Y
A feed page of industry news could be done, but would require a bit of customization. It’s not something that’s built into the theme.
Question by Charles
The top right sidebar component with ‘popular/categories/archives/tags’.
Can some of those 4 components be removed, or must all 4 be presented as a group?
And what exactly does ’subscribe by email’ accomplish?
Is it just a way of capturing email addresses, like for a mailing list or newsletter?
Do they get email updates whenever a new post is added?
Does the ’subscribe’ function only work for the given page on which they clicked the submit button, or is the subscribe function a site-wide thing?
I guess this is Blogging 101, but I’m not following the whole subscribe thing yet..
Thank you,
Charles
Answer by Michael
With a little guidance from our support forum folks, elements can pretty easily be removed from the sidebar tabbed navigation box.
The subscribe function works with Feedburner email. If you have an email list through another provider, such as AWeber, for example, you can insert the form code on the Theme Settings page, and folks will be able to subscribe to your email list.
The subscribe function will appear on every page that has the sidebar.
Question by Pete
Sorry I see it listed above as a feature.
Answer by Michael
No problem at all.
Question by Pete
Thank you for the reply. Does this theme auto generate thumbnails?
Answer by Michael
Yes, once the theme is installed and set-up properly, the thumbnails will appear automatically.
Question by Pete
Does this theme have the ability to have auto rotating banner adds or is that a static banner at the top?
Answer by Michael
Out of the box, those banner ads are static ads only. However, if you have some sort of ad management or banner rotating script, you could replace the code within the template files. We could show you where to place the code.
Question by James
I’m looking at getting this theme, it has everything I want in a theme. I have one question though regarding the post width and fitting photos. Photos in my posts are 600 pixels wide. I notice that posts widths are also 600 pixels wide. Will this cause a problem? Can I increase the width of the post box to, say, 620 pixels?
Answer by Michael Pollock
Hi James. You could increase the width of the main content area as long as you don’t mind also decreasing the width of the right sidebar. The other option is to simply add a few lines of code to the stylesheet to limit the width of any photos/images in the main content area. This would likely be the better option.
