Hey – you can go to Theme Options > Skining – and for the backgrounds write

rgba(0,0,0,0.5)

instead of using the colorpicker.

What is the shortcode to create a sortable portfolio as shown in the test site?

This is what we used in the preview site –

[portfolio markup=”portfolio_one_third” sortable=”on” excerptlen=”200” wpqueryargs=”posts_per_page=9”]

Thanks!

How do I get the images in the three column portfolio layout to open up with light box like on the demo site?

For gallery portfolio type – If you access in the admin the portfolio item ( gallery item in this case ) you are trying to edit, you will notice the Big Image option in the DZS Portfolio Settings. Any image you will have there will open in a lightbox in the gallery.

For normal portfolio type – You will find the answer in the documentation

Also, you might notice in this page – http://royale.dzsthemes.net/portfolio/ – that each portfolio item has it’s own gallery. This is done via having a royale slider in the portfolio item content. The shortcode for the royale slider is [royaleslider id=”theid”] and it can be setup via Appereance > Sliders Admin.

How do I embed flash video on the page or in the headers sliders? When I just paste the code onto the page it just shows white box.

Go to the Sliders Admin and configure a slider that has Royale Slider as the type. Then add a new item, in the Preview Thumb field upload / set a image with the dimensions you set in the width and height settings ( from the left ) and in the source folder paste the path to your .mp4 file – automatic flash fallback will be made for IE

In the Fullscreen Gallery CJ I would like to remove the thumbs up and music button.

Go to Theme Options > Extra CSS and write

#cj-gallery #cj-share-button { display: none; }

#cj-gallery #cj-music-button { display:none }

and save.

How do I create a slideshow in the home page?

With the home page setup, scroll to the royale Post Options to the Background Slider and choose bg1 or bg1_noinfo or bgcj. Edit those with your images or create your own gallery via the Sliders Admin - only galleries with the type fullscreen gallery simple or fullscreen gallery cj will get listed as options for the Background Slider post option.

What’s a WordPress category ID ? How do I find the category ID ?

Go to Posts > Categories and you’ll find the ID in the link that goes to the specific category, as shown in the below picture.
Royale' Creative WordPress Theme - 3

How can i make it so the entire blog post shows up without having to click read more or the post title ?

Just enable Excerpt field from the Custom Fields area ( more information here http://digitalzoomstudio.net/faq/ ), copy the content from your content area and paste it in the newly enabled excerpt field. Then click Update, all done. If you still need the readmore button you can add {readmore} in the excerpt.

<script>jQuery(window).load(function(){ jQuery('.toggle-title').eq(0).trigger('click'); });</script>

The sortable link works, BUT i don’t have any titles on the sorting buttons. Where do i need to set those?

Hey – name your categories Portfolio – Category name and you should then see the title.

For example -> Portfolio – Street Art will be displayed as Street Art

What happens with Vertical Images on the background ?

They should fit the window without breaking the aspect ratio

I’d like to insert the Royale Contact Form in my ‘contact page’, but i don’t know how… Can someone help me ?

If you want only the contact form, insert this: [contactform] If you want your contact page to look exactly as the demo, insert this:

[raw] 
[contactform] 
[/raw]

How can I incorporate a custom font ( besides the included Google Fonts ) ?

You need to go to Appearence > Theme Options > Extra CSS and write there

@font-face {  
  font-family: " yourFontName ";  
  src: url( /location/of/font/FontFileName.eot ); /* IE */  
  src: local(" real FontName "), url( /location/of/font/FontFileName.ttf ) format("truetype"); /* non-IE */  
}  

.tagYouWantToHaveThatFont { font-family:" your FontName ", verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;  
}

Yes, it’s in every post’s options Yes, there is a on/off button for the social icons and the music button does not appear if there are no songs uploaded.

Is it possible to have the option to deactivate the thumbnails on the home page and just have previous and next arrows to navigate to the images on the home page?

Yes, you can just use the simple FULLSCREEN SLIDESHOW gallery for this – http://royale.dzsthemes.net/homepage-2/ Yes, it can be done very easily via Theme Options > Extra CSS

Before I purchase this theme, could you please clarify the following. I would like to have a menu consisting of Gallery 1/Gallery 2/etc, each of them will have submenus. Each menu should have the layout and functionality like the Home page on the demo. Is this possible? Or only the Home page can have the functionality as displayed?

It’s 100% possible. This theme is made to be flexible. you can create as many galeries as on the homepage. And any page can be the homepage ( there is no specific homepage functionality )
