How to add embeded video in slideshow?

Our theme has the shortcode that gives you the ability to add video easily to slideshow and also provides pause/resume function. The slide ain’t going to switch to the next one while video is playing.

All you need to do is click on video shortcode button/icon, at the editor panel in visual mode, and paste your url in popup window:





Sample code of slide with video from our preview:

[one_half]
<h1>Embed Video</h1>
You can add video in slideshow easily by adding link to your video in our video shortcode, that you can find integrated in default editor.

<hr />

Please note, that this shortcode is only for slideshow and can't be used on pages. For pages simply use embed code provided by youtube or vimeo.
And don't forget that you need to set 100% value for width and height if you want your video to be responsive.

I would like to create the little picture boxes like the three on the home page, how do I do that?

Three boxes at the front page is a teaser shortcodes.

When you edit page/post switch to visual mode and you’ll see shortcode buttons(icons) in editor panel. Click on teaser shortcode button. Popup window with options will appear.
There are two ways to make teaser:
1. Using post/page: “Choose a template”.

In this case it will use post title and featured image for teaser title and image.
2. Using direct link to image “Type your image URL here”.
Check this page to see how teaser shortcode should look like:

What’s the easiest way to upgrade to the latest version?

First of all, you need to check your installed theme version. You can find it in your Dashboard -> Appereance -> Themes.
If your theme version is less than 1.1, you should update it from Themeforest:

1. Go to downloads tab in your Themeforest account and simply download our theme again.
2. Upload theme files via FTP.
3. Don’t forget to make a backup.

Starting from version 1.1 we have developed a new functionality to update our theme.

Now you can update it directly from your dashboard:

1. Go to your Dashboard -> Theme Options -> Theme Updater.
2. Fill in your ThemeForest User Account Information form.

To get your Themeforest API key you need to:


• Go to Themeforest Dashboard.
• Click “My settings” tab.
• Click “API keys” menu on left side of page.
• Generate API key on this page and copy it.
3. After that you can find “Update” menu item in your Dashboard and update notification icon in your admin menu.
   
   
4. Click any of them.
5. Scroll to “Themes” section and click “Update Themes” button.
   
   

However, update theme via FTP still works fine, you can use it if you want.

Don’t forget to make a backup of your theme files before update, and also if you modified some theme files.
