Hi Lori,

I’ve received your email. I’ll take a look at the site and respond that way

Hi markdastevens,

Thanks for your purchase. This error occurs when you upload the package zip you downloaded from CodeCanyon rather than plugin folder inside it. You need to unzip the download and upload the plugin folder within it. Please see the installation guide (included with your downloaded and mirrored here: http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#MEGA-installation ) for step-by-step instructions on how to properly install.

Hey Brent,

Just wanted to follow up on this with you. I finished the CSS customization for the Prestige theme. I now have a custom stylesheet that you can use with UberMenu to style the menu appropriately. All that’s left to do is set the width if you want it to align right (change one number in the CSS ).

I also looked into the Cufon issue, and it is a very simple one line change. It won’t affect the rest of the theme, as this line is directly targeting the menu.

Basically, all you’d need to do is to copy over the custom CSS and update 1 line of CSS and 1 line of JS code to make things work.

I’ve uploaded an image so you can see the result. http://imgur.com/1Pzbd

Hope that helps you out If you decide to pull the trigger just shoot me an email via my contact form and I’ll send you the materials.

Chris

Wow! Thanks Chris! You’ve pretty much won me over. Gotta check some things before buying, but I’ll most definitely be adding this to my collection! I appreciate the help and work you’ve done so far.

As far as I know, you have the only widget-capable menu there is out there. And that’s what has me so interested. Very cool!

Thanks!

Brent

No problem, just let me know if/when you end up needing the custom files

Hi nomadicwax,

Thanks for your purchase. Usually, if there are any issues they are related to residual styling from a theme or residual javascript still affecting the menu. Sometimes a theme or another plugin isn’t coded to WP standards (most often by not including jquery properly), and that can also mess with UberMenu. These problems with other themes and plugins are almost always outside the control of UberMenu. The upcoming version of UberMenu will contain a few tricks to try to mitigate these effects when other themes/plugins are behaving badly, however.

The best way for me to troubleshoot a problem is for you to send me a link to your site with temporary WP login and FTP credentials through my contact form. I’ll be happy to take a look.

Best,

Chris

Thanks so much, Maxx! Very glad you’re pleased with the menu

Hi Joe,

Just tested UberMenu with a fresh install of Thesis 1.8 and it is working properly out of the box

Chris

Hi Brandall,

Thanks for your interest!

1. Font replacement – it can definitely use Cufon (or @font-face), but you may need to adjust the javascript call to properly target the menu (as the menu container ID will change). If you have trouble with that let me know.

2. Styles – The styles will be overridden by UberMenu’s CSS . You can code a custom style sheet and create any style you like. You can copy one of the existing presets in the custom file and then tweak it to make things easier.

3. Transparent background – yes, you can definitely do this through the use of custom CSS . I’m coming out with an update soon, and it will include some new preset styles with transparent backgrounds, too.

Hope that helps!

Chris

Hi Eugenia,

Thanks for your purchase! I’m glad you like the plugin

I’ll be happy to get you what you need, I just have to think about the best way to do that. Shoot me an email via my contact form so that I’ll have your contact info.

In the meantime, I assume you have read or watched the following – practicing these tutorials will go a long way to mastering UberMenu:

• UberMenu Support Guide
• Adding Content to UberMenu (Links, Images, Descriptions, Widgets, and Shortcodes)
• UberMenu Structure & Visualizing UberMenu Layouts
• UberMenu Basics Screencast (I’m working on some more advanced screencasts as well)

Hope those help as well I’ll try to figure out a good way to get you what you need.

Best,

Chris

Hi Nocticula,

Thanks for your interest. To be honest, I don’t know if UberMenu would work out of the box with WP Multisite. I think it should, but I can’t guarantee it. I’ll add it to my list of things to test out when I get a chance.

One more thing to be aware of – I don’t think the regular license covers use on a multisite install. I think you would have to either buy a license per site or else an extended license. I’m not 100% sure on this (the license is not very clear in this area) – so you may want to contact support and ask what the policy is for plugin licenses on multisite. Send me an email and let me know what they say if you find out

Best,

Chris

Thnx for your quick reply Chris.

Sorry i totaly forgot the license issue. I’ll check into it and let you know

Hi Flashphotog,

I haven’t seen that issue before – the CSS has worked properly in both Chrome and IE in all the cases I’ve seen. From your description of the problem it sounds like perhaps your theme has some javascript that is overriding the CSS styles (for example, superfish might do this). The solution would be to remove the call to that javascript function. (Sidenote: the upcoming release of UberMenu has some new code that attempts to deal with this type of issue gracefully out-of-the-box).

If you’d like to send me a link to your site and WP/FTP credentials via my contact form I’d be happy to take a look for you

Best,

Chris

Thanks for your speedy response Chris, I will email you.

No plugin needed Just go to google maps, find the map you want, click “Link” in the upper right, grab the iframe embed code and place it in a text widget.

Of course, if you want to use a plugin, that would work too

Hi Localpa,

UberMenu seems “less responsive” because it is using the hoverIntent jQuery plugin – but this is actually intended as a feature. The hoverIntent plugin can be configured to wait a given amount of time before triggering the submenu to drop – this is used as a heuristic for gauging a user’s “intention” of opening the menu, which is intended to improve user experience. To make the menu open immediately, you’d just need to change a number in the javascript (it’s currently set at 500 milliseconds, you could make it 0) – or you could just use the plain hover event instead of hoverIntent. I’ll look into making this configurable through the control panel on the next release.

Currently, you could disable javascript by commenting out one line of PHP code. In the upcoming release, you’ll be able to turn it off through the control panel.

The menu degrades gracefully when there is no javascript. However, you’d want to tweak the width and horizontal positioning of each submenu manually (normally the javascript calculates the positioning on the fly). This can be done easily by setting the left and width CSS properties for each submenu ID. I’m adding some robustness to the non-JS CSS in the upcoming release as well.

Hope that answers your questions!

Chris

Ah Thank you! One more thing. Would I be able to change the “Home” link to an image of my website’s logo (with manual css+html editing of course)?

I intend on using your menu bar as a single navigational entity on my site.

Right now it would take some minor adjustments to the PHP to allow an image with no text through the featured thumbnail interface – or you could do it with CSS like you suggested.

In version 1.1 there will be a special “imageonly” tag that you’ll be able to apply that will make menu items without text much easier to create

Thanks for your interest!

Chris

Hi, thanks for your purchase!

It could be jQuery, or it could be a CSS overflow visibility or z-index issue. I’ll have to see it firsthand to troubleshoot it. If you send me a link to your site via my contact form I’ll be happy to take a look in the morning (EST).

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your interest. For the licensing: basically you need to purchase an individual (regular) license for each instance/installation of WordPress (not valid for WPMU I believe). You can only use the individual license once – but it can be used for personal, commercial, or client sites. An extended license is not offered at this time – but extended licenses aren’t multi-use either, they are for incorporating into a single application that is to be redistributed. I have heard that Envato is working on offering a multi-use license sometime in the future. Hope that clarifies things – if you have a specific situation in mind, let me know and I can clarify further.

I’m not sure I understand your second question. If you are asking if the shortcodes included with the plugin (columns and recent posts) will work outside of the menu, the answer is yes. If you are asking if the mega menu can be included in a widget the short answer is no, not at this time – at least not out-of-the-box.

Hope that answers your questions!

Chris

Either one should work fine. If the theme has a place to put customizations, I’d put it there, so that if/when you upgrade you can hold on to the customizations more easily.

Greetings,

Thanks for your purchase, I’m glad you like the plugin!

Like you thought, some of the theme styles are being applied residually to the menu. I believe this CSS code should take care of them:

#megaMenu ul li{
  background-image:none;
  margin-left:0px;
  padding-left:0px;
}

As for superfish, the code is there but it shouldn’t be running. The call is made in js/onLoad.js, but it is applied to an element that no longer exists (it has been replaced by UberMenu), so the call won’t do anything. If you want to remove the excess superfish javascript to save on file size, it is located in js/base.js (if you remove that code, you should remove the call in the previously mentioned file as well).

If you want to remove the down arrows on the top level menu items that don’t have submenus, uncheck the Mega menu this tab check box on those menu items in Appearance > Menus

As for the descriptions, I just tested it out and everything is working as expected as far as I can tell, even for categories. The Description that you need to update is in the Appearance > Menus panel for individual menu items. The official category description, which can be set in Posts > Categories, has no effect on the menu, if that’s what you’re referring to. The two “descriptions” are independent. BTW , this is a feature of WP3 Menus in general, not UberMenu anyway.

FWIW , your site seems to be running smoothly (and quickly) on my machine, so I don’t think you need to remove more javascript (your theme, Unite, is a good one). I find sometimes the browser gets bogged down after a while when you refresh a lot during development, so you might just need to restart it and then it runs faster

Hope that helps!

Chris

Currently UberMenu does not support the HTML 5 nav tag. I am planning on adding this as an option for the next release, but decided to code the first version without HTML5 to avoid backward compatibility issues with older browsers. This could easily be changed in the code.

How did you acquire UberMenu? According to CodeCanyon, you have never purchased a file here…

If you’d like to contact me via my contact form with the account you used to purchase UberMenu I’d be happy to help.

Chris

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your purchase!

I’ll look into it further, but I expect WordPress will include its own import/export functionality for WP3 Menus in an upcoming release, which should also take care of UberMenus (it’s completely integrated with the WP system). For now, my recommendation is that you export the entire database to your server, which will recreate everything from posts to the menus (you’ll need to change the siteurl and home options in the wp_options table). You might also be able to use the WP Export Tool, as WP3 Menu Items are just custom post types (I haven’t tried that though).

As for adding a “default” pic to the recent posts, it’s not currently possible, but I’ll add it to my list of upgrades to make for the next release.

Best,

Chris
