Theme Files

CSS

The following CSS files are included in the theme:

Style.css (located in: main direction)
Contains: Foundation for the site design. It controls the design structure of the theme.

It is not recommended to make any changes directly in this file, as those changes would be lost once you update the theme.
Instead, copy the the code that you wish to change and paste it into a child theme or into Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and make your changes there.

The file is separated into the following sections:

- CSS RESET
- MISC
- FONTS / TEXT ELEMENTS
- LAYOUT
- AUDIO
- TOURDATES
- VIDEO
- GALLERY
- NAVIGATION
- SIDEBAR AND WIDGETS
- FOOTER
- IMAGES
- PAGINATION
- COMMENTS
- FORMS
- BUTTONS

  2. Mobile (Landscape)
  3. Mobile (Portrait)

jquery.imagesloaded.min.js (located in: /js)

Credits

I've used the following scripts, files, images, icons and other files in this theme:

• Superfish
• prettyPhoto
• Nivo Slider
• Fontawesome
• Options Framework
• Mobile Detect

Slider does not display

The Slider will only display on the page that is using the "Home" template. Please make sure you are following all the instructions in the documentation under "Setting up the Homepage" (especially step 6!)

Album item or Gallery item opening a 404 Error page

There is a very easy fix for this issue:
Simply go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes.

Color or fonts as set in the Theme Options Panel don't get applied

Solution 1: Make sure you are not uploading the whole zip file that you've downloaded from Themeforest (including demo content, license, psd files, readme ...) but only the Soundboard.zip file.
Solution 2: Check the file permission on your WordPress installation. Files should always have 644 permisison. Folders should always have 755 permission. More info here.

How to update a theme

1. Start by logging into Themeforest with the account that you've used to purchase your theme.
2. Click Downloads and re-download the theme you've purchased. You will automatically get the newest version.
3. Go to your WordPress admin and click Appearance > Themes . Activate any different theme, choose delete files for the old SOUNDBOARD theme and then upload the new theme and activate it. If you attempt to upload a new version of a theme without deleting the old version first, the theme install will fail.

Deleting the old theme may seem scary, but you are not going to loose any of your content or theme settings. You will only lose the changes that you've made directly to the theme files. These changes will need to be made again to the new files.
If you are still uncomfortable deleting the old theme, you may use a plugin, like for example Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades to automate backing up your current theme and uploading the new version. In case something goes wrong, you can simply change back to the old theme.

IMPORTANT!: As update 5.0 was a major update, if you are updating from version 4.09 and below, please follow the instructions in the changelog.

How to translate a theme

Soundboard can be translated into any language without having to edit the template files.

1. Go to Settings > General and set the Site Language to your language.
2. Download Poedit, which is a free, open source tool.
3. Look for the the soundboard.pot file, which is included in your theme files (in the subfolder "languages") and open it with Poedit.
4. Click "Create New Translation", select your language and click OK
5. You should see a list of all strings (in English) used in the theme. Go through the list and click on the text that you want to translate. When you click a line of text, the same text will appear at the upper of the 2 boxes at the bottom. Enter the translation for the text in the lower box.
   • If you right-click on any line, you’ll see a file name and line number like “archive.php line 71″. That is the place in the theme files where this text is being used.
   • If you are looking for a certain text that you want to translate, click Edit > Find .
6. In Poedit > Preferences > Editing, make sure Automatically compile MO file when saving is checked. That way, when you click File > Save as, it will automatically output a .po and .mo file. The naming of your .po and .mo files is important. The naming convention is based on the language code (e.g. pt for Portuguese) followed by the country code (e.g. _PT for Portugal or _BR for Brazil). So, the Brazilian Portuguese files would be called pt_BR.po and pt_BR.mo. A complete list of codes can be found at language codes and country codes. Save the translation files in the same folder as the soundboard.pot file.

You can always open your .po file again (in Poedit) and add translations.

Theme Installation Error “The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Make sure you are not uploading the whole zip file that you've downloaded from Themeforest (including demo content, license, psd files, readme ...) but only the soundboard.zip file.
