hello tagdiv;
hope you are all well. would you be so kind and advise me on the following issues. i would be very grateful.
issues:
1. i would like to list the posts on a few category pages alphabetically [ not all my categorie pages ]. how can i do this?
2. how can i auto enable slide on category pages and set the number of posts to display and set posts to display as random or latest?
3. which page [ i guess which php page ] does the category page use?
4. to get a slide on the category page, let us say that my category is shoes, all the posts that i have in shoes category must also be in featured category. now lets say i have another category of computers and i want a slide on computers category page, all my computers posts must also be in featured category. now on my shoes category page, at the bottom in the similar articles section i get display from shoes category and computers category because they are both in featured category. and if i have 20 more categories for which i want a slide they will also show up as similar articles to shoes because they have to be in featured category. but i do not want similar articles to shoes to have posts from computers because they are not similar articles. what can i do about this?
5. how can i add multiple images in a post to modal window all at once?
6. how can i insert different background advertisement for the different categories? i have different affiliate ads that are specific to each category.
7. how can i create a parallax post?
8. how do i insert button shortcode and add a link to the button exactly? I cannot get the link to work.
thanks very much for your time and and support. i look forward to your advise. and as always your theme is very nice.

Hi,
1. Unfortunately for this you will have to find a filter or get someone to help you with it as the theme dose not have an option or feature like that.
2. You can enable the slider for each category from here: http://screencast.com/t/DPcsqaLD4CJd
The slider is set by default to show the posts from featured category but you can change this by editing the page-category-slider.php file and add this options: http://screencast.com/t/wX2l3XFKOMqI
Make sure you also add a comma after each option you add.
3. The category page uses the category.php template file, you can find it in the root of the theme: http://screencast.com/t/dT34NHfsra
4. You can change the slider’s option from page-category-slider.php file and set it to show posts from the same category and not need to add the posts to the featured category. Changing the sort order from ‘featured’ to other gets this done.
5. Not sure what you mean, if you refer to an option to set the modal view for images that you have already added to your posts then I’m afraid that is not possible, you have to edit each image and set the modal view to it.
6. Unfortunately you can’t set and background ad for individual categories. If you set an background ad then that ad will be on each page. You could also try to find a plugin for this.
7. From post editing panel > post settings set the post to use the post template style 4: http://screencast.com/t/6h3EOsoFh5De
8. You can add it like this: http://screencast.com/t/08QsrqgO3lA
Hope this helps!
Thanks
