I just downloaded Sonorama and I'm not sure how exactly to set it up and populate the site with content. Is there some video I can watch about setting up the site through the dashboard? I understand it is a one page site, but how can I get information onto the page, and have the menus change depending on where you are on the page? I see that happens in the demo.

Regards,
Jonah

Thank you, I will look into this.

If I import the dummy data, will I be able to clear it after I look around the dashboard and understand how everything works?

How do I clear the demo data to start from scratch again?

OK thank you.

I noticed that at the bottom of the page there is a Social Networks section. Where is that in the dashboard? What if I want to get rid of one of the social network buttons, such as Google+?

Right now there is nothing filled into those text fields, but I still see the icons at the bottom of my site. I'd like to know how I can remove the icons if I don't have some of those social networks or don't want to link to them. Also, if I don't want to have that section of Social Networks at all, how can I get rid of it?

Thank you

Hello: I'm now taking a look at the main slider on the homepage, and I notice that when I add text into the slider text fields, the column of text is very narrow on the homepage, and it is only on the left side. The column of text should be wider and should also be in the middle. How can I fix this? See attachment.

I'm building it locally on my personal computer, so I do not have a URL to share right now. I can only do screenshots. What would be causing that issue? 

OK that worked, thank you. How can I either remove or adjust/edit the two red bars and red diamond on the placeholder image? Please see attached.

Thank you!

Where can I add tour dates? Right now it is a blank section.

Thank you! For the gallery section, is there a way to organize the images and videos into sub-sections, such as photos/videos from concert 1, photos/videos from concert 2, etc.?

OK. Is there a way to put a caption on photos and videos in the gallery section? 

If you are looking to do updates, I would recommend both of those features. If I do want to add captions to images in the gallery, how would I be able to do that? If you can't give support for that type of question, I will need to figure it out on my own.

If I would like to put the Biography in the Home section, so Biography has its own title on the site, but does not have its own menu, how would I do that?

Thank you! That is great. I have another question about the gallery section. I uploaded a horizontal image, but noticed that is gets cropped into a square in both the gallery view and when you click into it, in the lightbox view. Is there a way to have the image not be cropped in lightbox view?

Thank you! It looks like I have to edit the file from the Sonorama them, as opposed to the Sonorama-child theme. I see there is a Twitter section. Where in the dashboard can I connect my Twitter account to show the latest tweets?

Thank you for getting back to me. I added my Twitter account name without the @, but I don't see anything on the site. See screenshot attached. What else can I do?

I updated the theme to the attached. Still nothing on the website in the Twitter section. See screenshot attached.

jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1:2 JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1

(index):1 

Refused to execute script from 'https://syndication.twitter.com/timeline/profile?callback=twitterFetcher.callback&dnt=false&screen_name=BOASTNYC&suppress_response_codes=true&lang=en&rnd=0.055932971482746785' because its MIME type ('application/json') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

OK, that's good to know. I will let you know when I upload the website online. That might be a few weeks. 

Another question: Is there a way to have a music player with various songs? Maybe import songs via Spotify through a widget?

Thank you for your response. So if I would like to add it to a section, such as the music section, would I go to the Visual Composer in the Music section and add Section Content?

Thank you. I do not have any other questions right now. If I do, I will open a new ticket.

Thank you for your response. What would I do in the functions.shortcodes.php file? For captions that would go underneath images and videos in the lightbox, I would need to be able to add them in the WordPress dashboard.

Yes, exactly.

Yes, perfect. I see this code:

if (empty($video)) {
            $return .= '<a class="fancybox img-lightbox" rel="' . $back->post_name . '" href="' . $img1[0] . '">';
            } 

And I imagine I need to add my new code to that, or add a new line of code completely:

<?php        if(get_field('caption'))        

{                

echo "<p class=caption-span>" . get_field('caption') . "</p>";         

}

?>

Can you advise the correct code I should use? I am also also attaching screenshots of the dashboard, with the Custom Fields, and the caption field in the gallery.

Thank you. I see this in the php file:

if (empty($video)) {
            $return .= '<a class="fancybox img-lightbox" rel="' . $back->post_name . '" href="' . $img1[0] . '">';
            } 

I'm not seeing where exactly to put the new code:

<?php        if(get_field('caption'))        

{                

echo "<p class=caption-span>" . get_field('caption') . "</p>";         

}

?>

If this is not easy to explain, I will contact another developer.

OK, thank you. I would like to have the caption added once someone inputs it into the caption custom field in the WordPress dashboard. What is the exact code I need to put in the sonorama/inc/functions.shortcodes.php file, and what would the new line of code replace? Attaching screenshots again of the gallery image page, and the custom field page with the caption field.

Thank you for your response. I have this now, but it is giving an error:

if (empty($video)) {
                $return .= '<a title="<?php if(get_field('caption')){                
echo "<p class=caption-span>" . get_field('caption') . "</p>";}?>" class="fancybox img-lightbox" rel="' . $back->post_name . '" href="' . $img[0] .'">';
            } else {
                $return .= '</a><a title="<?php if(get_field('caption')){                

echo "<p class=caption-span>" . get_field('caption') . "</p>";}?>" class="fancybox-media" rel="' . $back->post_name . '" href="' . $video.'">';
            }</a>

Amazing, it worked! Thank you very much. And if I want to style the caption, I imagine I can use the Additional CSS section in the dashboard, and make changes to .fancybox-title-float-wrap .child ?

Hello,

I am setting up a site with the Sonorama theme on my other local computer (for now), and it is only giving a black screen and a spinning wheel. I imported the demo data, changed the homepage to display the static Home page, assigned the main menu, and added sections to the Visual Composer. Not sure why this is happening? Also I find it odd that there is content on the site when I set the homepage to display latest posts.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

It looked like it was the favicon, so I removed it, and then the error went away in the console, but I'm still only seeing a black screen with the wheel spinning. What else can I do?

I did watch the installation video. Right now there are no errors in the console. All it says is JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1.

I did notice that I was seeing different things depending on what template I chose for the Home page. I am attaching those screenshots. Still getting a black screen when I selected Home Page 1 for the template.

That did it. Thank you!

Hello, I was clicking into the Gallery section, and it looks like the top part of the image is cut off when it goes into the lightbox mode. Is there a way to make it so the image does not get cut off? I am viewing on a 15" laptop.

Thank you, that looks good. In the Gallery section, if there are lots of media, is there a way to show only a certain number, like 12, and hide the rest, and have some sort of arrow to indicate that there are more images/videos, similar to the Latest News section? I may have more than 40 images/videos, but don't necessarily want to show all of them together.

OK, thank you. Also, I would like to add an embed code from another website to a section, specifically one that displays tour dates. I'm looking in the elements of WPBakery Page Builder, and do not see anything like Raw HTML, or something similar. How would I add an embedded HTML code?

Great, thank you!

Hello, in the gallery, how can I change the order of the images and videos?

Yes, thank you!

Hello: For the social media section, how can I remove Twitter and Google+, and in their places add Instagram and Spotify?

Thank you. I will try to figure out how to get the Spotify and Instagram logos in there. If I can't, I may come back here. 

Another question: How can I just have one static image as the background of the homepage screen, without any slideshow playing?

Thank you for your response. It is still playing like a slideshow, even though I only have one image in the dashboard, and I set play to 0.

The text stays static. It is the background image behind that is flickering.

Clearing the cache worked. Thank you!

Hello. I'm wondering if I can set up a directory site, such as example.com/directory, and have that page be different from the main one (example.com). Is there a way to do this from the dashboard?

Thank you for your response. But even if I change the homepage, doesn't the URL stay the same (i.e. www.example.com)? I would like to go to a page by directory, which would be separate from the main website.

Hello: In the contact section of the dashboard, is there a way I can change some of the social channels to other ones, so for instance where it says "Twitter url" it would now say "Spotify url"?

Thank you! That is great, and I was able to figure out the icon as well.

A couple of the social media channels have not been set up yet, but I want to keep them there on the site, but I will put a Coming Soon tag over them. So when someone clicks on that icon, nothing should happen. How can I make this happen, so a new page does not open? (So for example, the Spotify channel has not been set up, so when someone clicks the Spotify icon, I do not want a new link to open.)

Thank you. I do want some of the icons to go to their linked pages. Right now I have three social media channels set up, and two are coming soon, so I only want two of the links to not go anywhere.

OK, I see now in the footer code. Thank you, I think that should work.

Thank you for allowing me to post here! As far as page load, it still seems to take a while when I first go to the site. And I am not able to remove the BandCamp player, as that is a client requirement. Is there anything else we can do with the theme settings, or theme files? Or do you think this is now an issue with the hosting?

Here is the site: https://danrauchwerk.com/

Could the undefined error be coming because I don't have a music file (mp3) that is connected to the front page? I'm wondering how I can eliminate that call in the code.

OK, great. Now there is no error, but I would like the spacing to be the same as the other sections. Now the section right below (Music) is running into the main description above. See screenshot.

MacBook Pro, 15.4-inch (1680 x 1050). See attached screenshot from my previous question. Since I cannot have that issue occur on the live site, I uncommented those lines. After you tell me how to get the proper space above the Music section, I will go and comment out those lines again.

Thank you, that seems to work. I noticed that the up arrow at the bottom of the page does not take me to the top of the page. How can I get that to work? I am attaching a screenshot of the arrow.

Thank you, that worked. I have made quite a few code changes to various files, so I hesitate about completely replacing with the new theme files. But I could see about replacing all the files I haven't touched, if you would recommend that. 

Thank you! I will let you know if anything else comes up. I imagine other things will since we still need to add press articles.

Hi, my client is still complaining about the page load time. Is there anything else we can do to speed it up? https://danrauchwerk.com/

I'm hoping to move to a faster hosting provider. In the meantime, I would like to speed up the load time as much as possible within the theme files. Is there a way to remove the spinning loading icon? What lines of code should I remove or comment out for that? Can I strip out any other calls to CSS or JS files that are not being used on my site? I would like the site to load immediately after you go to the URL.

Thank you! 

Hello, I made a change to the social-icons.png in the img/icons folder, but the graphic did not update on my site. I removed the COMING SOON text from the Spotify icon, but it is still there. Do you know why it's still there, and how I can remove that text, which is coming from an older version of the image?

https://danrauchwerk.com/

Also, would it have anything to do with setting up Cloudflare for my site?

Thank you, I am looking into that now. 

Is there a way to keep the spacing between sections automatically consistent? Right now there is more spacing after the homepage section to the section directly below that, than the spacing between other sections. Also, the spacing after the homepage section changes when changing the length of the text in the Slider Text (multiple) text box. I am attaching a screenshot of the large spacing after the homepage section as seen on a large desktop monitor. That height is around 339px, and the height of the space between other sections is around 157px.

Thank you for this information, and I totally get this. Is there a way to use a section as the very top of the site, so instead of using the Homepage Page, I would use a section instead?

Also, I changed the Nameservers from the CDN to the default in GoDaddy, but I am still not seeing the updated social-icons.png image. Is it still pulling from the CDN?

The image should not have any COMING SOON text. I am attaching the image.

Thank you!

When I first go to my site, https://danrauchwerk.com/, the HOME tab is not highlighted with the red rectangle. It only shows up when I start scrolling. How can it show up as soon as I go to the site? In the dashboard, the HOME section is not a page, but a section, like the other sections.

Yes, that is the code I managed to figure out. Thank you!
