Hello.
I am user of “Destro Pro” theme. And I faced one problem with comments section social integration.
To be more precise user after hitting Facebook like button receives in the result box, how can I get rid of that box that shows up.
Hope to see quick answer,
Merlyn
Didn’t understand your question. The comments section has no social integration, are you using any plugin for that?
or do you mean the social buttons below the post title in single post page?
I purchased pro and i dont know how to activate it in wordpress.
Evan,
In “Themes” (Where the search boxes are or it might be under Appearance > Themes > Install) There is a button on top of the search boxes. Click the second one to the right (Install) and select the file. The file is: Un-Zip the package you downloaded. Then, you will see more files. Upload “Theme Alley” first. No need to activate it. Then, go back to where you were uploading “Theme alley” but instead select “Destro.pro.zip”. Install this and activate it. Done!
🙂

I had that same problem and when I try to upload the parent theme “Theme Alley” I get this error message:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
Any ideas?
Your web host need to increase the max upload file size to say 8mb or 16mb. Submit a ticket and they will do it for you.
I want to have a slider on the home page but i dont want to have each post corresponding to that slider picture be posted on the home page. How do I disable those posts from the homepage.
It happens only when recent posts are featured, as you add more posts they will move out of homepage and will only show up in featured slider.
does the pro version come with ability to upload custom company logo? couldn’t find that anywhere
Yes, it does. tough it should be less than 450px in width.
Is there a way to change the size of the logo?
Yes! The pro version allows you to upload custom company logos in the header and footer. Just not all sizes. Hope that helps?
This theme is one of the better ones I have used!
There is a small grey box just beside the header logo? How do you get rid of it and what is it for?
Hello Gary,
It is the adsense, you can turn it off in ad settings tab in theme options page.
Hello,
Having trouble getting the video thumbnail to populate on the homepage. Followed directions and created a custom field for “video” and I entered the url in the value field. Any suggestions?
you need to enter the actual url to flash video, using the youtube url you enter in browser won’t work. you need to get the url from the embed code of youtube.
param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zd1XXa5-VRA?version=3&hl=en_USWorks! Thank you for the fast reply! 🙂
Happy to help 🙂
Any chance you could show a screen shot of the custom field I understand the flash code thing but cannot get this to work.
Hello, add a screenshot below.
Hello. I am using the Destro Pro theme. I am having a problem with submenus. No matter which browser I use when a person mouses over the menu then tries moving to a submenu it disappears.
Nevermind I figured out what i was doing wrong. You can delete this.
I am having this problem. How did you fixed it?
you need to create menu in dashboard>appearance>menus
also how do you get your images to show in the slider?
Simply set a featured image, see image below.
click on the image for bigger picture
Hi there,
Please, for real I updated all WP etc but still no custom field to set up the video on the slider. Is just simply not there in the options.
Thanks
Hi there, So i fugured out how to get the custom field to show up but it only takes youtube.com videos. Is there any way that I can get it to work with vimeo hd videos? Do i need a plug in or something?
Thanks
Sincerely
Nicolas
Sorry for the late response, currently only youtube is supported. Will add other sources in next update.
Hi Admin, thanks for the response. I have been setting up everything and apart from the youtube.com only able front page slider option, I cannot make the excerpt become clickable nor the featured image for this matter. I was going to set it up on the functions.php of the parent theme but it was impossible. Is there any way that you could please include that in the next update as well. I have been trying to set up another image or menu instead of the adsense but it is not working.Such space only takes the id for the ad making it a big loss of space if you don’t want to place ads but another menu or images. Thanks for looking into it.
Cheers
Nicolas
will try and make the excerpt and images in slider clickable in next version.
You can add a banner ad beside logo. you can paste the code in Ad settings tab and select no for show adsense in header option.
How’d you get that custom field… I still can’t figure it out.
Here it is :
http://themealley.com/thumbs/video.png
Hi,
i really tried my best, but the videos are not shown on my mainpage. I created a custom field by a plugin called video and entered the url to video in its value field – nothing happened yet. I really appreciate if you would show in detail how this whole thing works. Thanks in advance!
You don’t need a plugin, please check the image above.
you can email me the dashboard access along with the order id and i will set one video up so you know how to post them.
that would be great. Please check your inbox for login details.
I am still having trouble getting videos to post could you do the same for mine if I send you a email with login info and video I would like to display?
sure, send then via the contact form
Hi, I’m having problems tried to change the slider type int the pro theme, the only ones that there seems to be working are the Anything Slider and the Accordian Slider (without the background of the slider) the others simply don’t show up, can you help me
Some other plugin is interfering, deactivate them all and activate them one by one and check if the slider you want is working.
Once you figure out which plugin is causing, try a similar plugin in place of it.
I deactivate all the plugins and still the same problem, any other suggestion?
Can i take a look? send me your dashboard and order number via contact form.
when you say that I send you my dashboard, you mean the access right?
Yes, sorry wasn’t clear
i have the same problem with the sliders. The images are not showing up.
Did you set a featured image to posts showing up in sliders?
i think, can you provide me a detailes instruction on how to? thanks
see the red circle on the right side saying “featured Image” click on it and upload a image.
when i click “set featured image” it doesn’t give me the option shown. it takes me to another screen where you can only upload a video/photo.
Hi, I know i’m a bother, but now I set a custom logo, but below the logo appear the next
“/>
you can check it in the site.
thanks
Did you upload the logo via theme options or did you modify it manually?
I upload it via the theme options
Hi. I am pretty new to having my own website. I have some knowledge, but am still learning. I found and purchased your pro theme and I love it. I do need a bit of help though. I can’t figure out how to get an image/images on my slider. I did install the required plugins so I am sure I am just overlooking something. Thanks.
you don’t need any plugins, you need to set a “featured image” for each post thats in the slider.
See the red circle on the right side of the image (click on the image for bigger pic )
I did that already. It still isn’t working for me.
can you send me the dashboard access via the contact form
Hey. Sorry I took so long. My husband is a software engineer so I am going to see if he can help me with this just because it might be quicker. If he can’t, i’ll get back on here. Thanks.
Hi there, I’m trying to set up a video on the slider but there is no custom fields or anything after the excerpt. Could you please help me? Should I download a plug in or something?. And second. Is there any way I can set up a social media button for pinterest on the social media section on the top banner?
Thanks
Sincerely
Nicolas
I am having trouble with the video’s I have embeded the video using the full mark up as was told to another person with the same issue but all I get is a link to the post. Also in the preview of the template it makes it appear as if the ads would be above the subscribe and twitter link on the sidebar how can I make this happen?
Thanks in advance!
You should not post the entire embed code, only the video ur you find in embed code.
To show ads, select “yes” for show 300×250 ads and go to widgets page and drag a 300×250 ad into 300×250 sidebar.
If you need me to set it up, send me dashboard access via the contact form.
OK will send the info as I am not able to set up the video properly or the Ads…it keeps pushing the ads below the subscribe sending you info via contact
I am having trouble with the video thumbnails on the sidebar too, I am only getting links.
What am I doing wrong?
you must put the url to a flash video, not youtube url
On the youtube, click on share
Then click on embed
then check the use old embed code
copy the code to a notepad.
look for something like param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Zd1XXa5-VRA?version=3&hl=en_US”
that is the actual url to the video
put that in the value box for video custom field.
thanks for the prompt response.
I noticed in your demos that you showed children categories under parent categories, how do you do that?
when upu drag the category widget into sidebar, select “show hierarchy”
Have done as instructed, should that then show the video on the sidebar on the homepage?
yes, if you do it correctly, it will work.
hmmm. not working for me.
The video shows up blog list page but not on home page.
any ideas?
forget that, is all working now.
the problem i have now is the blog list page has flowed out, I am seeing the sidebar underneath the blog list instead of to the right
is it fixed now? i don’t see it on your website…
yea it seems to be ok now, think it was something to do with having Category Boxes displayed.
Is there a trick to uploading images for the slider?
set a featured image to each post that is in the slider
how big should the image be and should it be posted into the post?
I ask because most of my content comes from a feed with images or video already put in
Image can be 300×300 to 2000×2000 and up depending on the slider you are using, if you use small images use anything slider, if you use bigger images you can use all sliders.
You don’t have to resize the image, simply upload it and wordpress will make necessary sizes.
images in posts wont be used, you need to set a separate image.
See the red circle on the right side of the image, that’s where you set the featured image. (click on the image for bigger pic )
thank you for very prompt responses, you have been extremely helpful
I am trying to install the theme. I unzipped the file into wp-content/themes, but can’t seem to find the “required plugins” files to upload to the wp-content/plugins folder. Where is this located?
In the email, you will have the link to the plugins, download it and unzip it and upload them.
Once I unzip everything into the folders, the theme is not showing up in my dashboard under Themes. Do I need to delete the free version first?
you don’t have to delete it. if you are uploading via ftp, unzip and upload to wp-content/themes and if you are uploading via dashboard, simply upload the zip you downloaded.
can you check out the feedburner part of my site, where the email box there is an image failed to load icon underneath, how can I remove that?
In your feedburner account activate the chicket which shows how many subscribers you have.
one other thing….I just installed the Platinum SEO plug in which has knocked out all of my video and featured image settings which is a pain in the butt!
Can you recommend another SEO plug in?
All in one seo
this is all getting a bit frustrating now…..i am now adding the social accounts and that has knocked out all the slider settings, this happened when I uploaded Platinum SEO as well.
Is there some kind of trick to this or something?
you are definitely doing something wrong. can i take a look? send me log in info
Having a lot of problems trying to add event calendars to my site. It seems there is some sort of jquery or some java conflict that happens with any of them I have installed. The calendars will not display of will not function correctly. If I change my theme to one of the wordpress default themes the calendars work fine but as soon as I switch back to Destro Pro, they do not work at all. This really is a problem because the site has to have a calendar and I already spent the $$ on Detro Pro and also spent a lot of time customizing it.
Actually it seems it is only one of the sliders causing the problem. In particular the accordion slider. Also, is there away way to customize the sliders any further? I would like to custom link them.
Can you use other sliders if only accordion is causing the problem?
Yes, sliders can be customized further.
how do i get videos to show in recent posts?
Right now its only images, you can use video layout for videos.
I will add videos in recent posts in next update.
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. I keep getting this message when i try to upload the zip, What do I need to do?
You need to unzip the downloaded zip file and you will see 2 separate zip files, uploaded these 2 zip files, first themealley.zip and then destro.pro.zip
Hi,
I’m trying to create my own static background, but I’m doing something wrong xD
This is the CSS code I’m using:
body{ background:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg) no-repeat fixed; }
However: it doensn’t become static and it keept repeating…
Try :
body{ background:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg) no-repeat center center; }
or
body{ background:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg) no-repeat center top; }
Thanks,
But it needs to stay static while I scroll down… Now I have a white area below =/
PS: great support, fast reposone 😉
And? Is there an other piece of code? I need the image to stay static: When you scroll down the site, the image remains fully visible.
Try :
body{ background:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg) no-repeat fixed center; }
Nope, it still repeats
ok, try not using the shorthand.
body
{
background-image:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
body
{
background-image:url(images/game-pc-background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;
}
It works now! Thanks!
Trying to install through G Daddy site. FTP. Do I make a new directory (in themes) for the Theme Alley and Destro Pro to upload the files?
You can simply ftp the entire folders “ThemeAlley” and “Destro Pro”
no need to create folders.
it wont let me upload the file – only the contents IN the file. That is why U was asking about making the directory myself to put the files in–ideas?
Ah okay, in that case, yes make the directories with same names and upload the contents to correct directories.
sent you an email to show your the error code I received
got it!! For people installing who are in a hurry and make silly mistakes or not paying quite the attention needed (Like me lol) Here are the steps…
In dash board
go to appearance
go to install themes
click upload
browse for the zip file ThemeAlley and upload it then activate it
follow these steps again and this time upload the Destro.pro zip file
activate it and should work perfectly
I set up this theme but when testing the ads, im not getting credit for them. I’ve placed my publisher ID where it was listed but while in Adsense I cannot see the hits as well as clicks received. Any Ideas?
The code seems to be correctly coming up, give it a few days and see
Can you check my website and tell me what possibly happened? Looks like I lost my theme and formatting.
Thanks
The stylesheet appears to be encoded, did you install any plugins?
Thanks for looking into the ads. My next question is the Top Rated/Popular widget. I cannot get this to update at all. Is there a plugin I have to install or code I have to edit in order to get this function working? Thanks for your time!
You need to install wp-postratings and wp-postviews plugins
Works, Thanks for the help!
Hi, I’m having problems tried to change the slider type and magazine layout int the pro theme, the only ones that there seems to be working are the Anything Slider and the Accordian Slider (without the background of the slider) the others simply don’t show up, can you help me
You have to set featured images for the posts in the slider for the other sliders to show up.
My online store is interfering with my slider. I can’t take my online store out, WP-onlinestore. What do I do?
Try using a different slider and see…
Need help with MOST Popular Box and Showing Vids. I went to the settings to NOT show the MOST Popular box and it still does.

Hi There I have just bought pro version. where do I get it?
You should have received it via email. let me send it to you manually.
I think it may have gone to an account I can’t access, would you be able to send it to the one attached to this e-mail?
thanks
hello, I purchased the pro version of Destro, but i am having troubles uploading the file, i believe because of the size and duration. i tried using google chrome, monzilla, opera any suggestions? When it appears to be complete, WP says please try again.
Thanks
never mind. i figured it out. thank you
Hey sorry to bother, really like the options with the premium, but lack understanding of how to make some more basic changes. Is there a setting, or something I’m missing to change the font sizes and colors on my main page?
Currently there is no option to change colors via settings
Still no way to edit the font color/size? A workaround maybe?
Its coming in new version.
Sorry another question on my site in every blog post this blank square box appears at the top of each post and I don’t know how it got there and try as I might I can’t get rid of it. I tried turning off recent widgets or plugins, changing settings. I just don’t know.
thats the adsense box
Can I overlay a layer on top of the existing logo space or expand the logo space to the full width of the top of the screen? I am not going to have advertisements for now and would much rather expand my logo to eliminate “dead” space on my homepage.
Yes, you can remove the ad, send me wp-admin access via contact form.
Hello. I have the pro version of this theme. Currently WordPress keeps saying there is an update to the theme, yet when I update it, it reverts me back to the Lite version. Is there an update to the pro version?
There is a v2 for pro, if you have v1 you can re download using the link you got when you purchased the theme.
I purchased but did not receive a download link. Do you know the expected processing time?
I manually sent it, please check.
Currently I have v 2.0.1 and when I try to download it says I have exceeded my downloads ( I had to format my computer).
resent it
Thank you!
I’m using destro and want my homepage to be Video Mag, however i dont know how to put posts into Recent and Favorite Tabs, any help? Thanks
recent automatically shows recent posts.
you can select the category for favorite posts in theme options.
I’m having a problem with AdSense ads. With my publisher ID in the settings, it displays both the header ad and 300X250 ad above posts, but there is no option to turn the above posts ad off. If you take the pub ID out, it removes both ads. I want the header ad without the above post ad.
I will add that option in next update.
Thank you very much.

Here are the instructions : http://themealley.com/thumbs/video.png
