Hi!

i was wondering if it was possible to limit the excerpt length by number of characters rather than words?

Thanks!

WPExplorer

it is possible, but I don’t do that because it causes issues with certain languages.

Default-user

Wow, never would’ve thought about that. Thanks anyway! :)

Hi,

Or actually, is it possible to just have the thumbnail boxes to be a SET height so the length of the excerpt and title won’t change it?

Thanks!

WPExplorer

I would recommend a “set” height because of the responsiveness. A min-height might be ideal. Example:

.post-entry { min-height: 340px; }

You can paste in style.css and then edit the height value accordingly.

thanks!

Hi

I would like to know if this template supports Ads – I am a MAC user, will this theme work on a MAC or only PC?

Regards

WPExplorer

Advertisements can be added to the sidebar easily via a text widget or a custom plugin. In the content area they can be added by editing your template files or by using an external plugin.

WordPress works both Mac/PC.

I am also a Mac user ;)

Thanks heaps :)

I installed WP3.6 and this theme. Everything seems to be running fine, except on the post edit screen, the FORMAT section that allows you to designate image, video, etc… doesn’t show up on the right side. Screen Options shows POST FORMATS, which I click and a ribbon shows up above the editor. I add video embed code, but that does make the video show up ON TOP of the body content, but below…

I also added the URL and embed code to the bulletin POST SETTINGS section, but that doesn’t do anything.

In no case does the video show up in the homepage excerpt.

Is this a 3.6 issue, or am I doing something wrong? Insight? Thanks in advance.

WPExplorer

Post Formats are changing completely in version 3.6 – http://wp.tutsplus.com/articles/news/what-theme-authors-need-to-know-about-post-formats-in-wordpress-3-6/ – I am not quite sure what you are talking about to be honest. If you want to open a ticket at wpexplorer.org for us to take a look at you can. However, please remember WP 3.6 isn’t released or fully finished yet, so we can’t really assist with any bugs until the version is fully finished and bug-free in itself.

I’m running this on Heroku using WPPRO (aka WP Read Only) to host my images on S3 (since Heroku has no permanent storage).

I can’t get the images to show on the homepage for image posts when I do this.

WPExplorer

The theme uses a custom script to resize images on the fly via WordPress functions. The issue is WordPress requires all images that will be resized to be stored on your server for security reasons. The only way around it really is to set the script so that it just displays w/e image you uploaded un-cropped. This might be a pain…but if you think it would be helpful I can help you edit the theme – http://wpexplorer.org

Hi, I would like to know if you can alter the font of the menus (titles and headings of widgets)

thanks

WPExplorer

Yes you can. But this should be done via CSS. Either editing style.css directly or adding custom CSS to your child theme or via a plugin – http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-family.asp

Can you password protect a gallery?

WPExplorer

You mean the gallery post format? In WordPress by default you should be able to password protect any post. I can’t remember if we’ve configured the theme to hide the gallery images if the post is password protected…but if not, it’s a super simple edit we would definitely update the theme for this if its missing.

Default-user

When is the next update? When can you check? I have been theme shopping and so fat this is my favorite. But I NEED to be able to password protect galleries as a function of your theme.

WPExplorer

The reviewers have to accept the update, but I’ve just submitted a quick update for this.

E.g. – http://cl.ly/image/1i1t380e0M1i

WPExplorer

The update is now ready for download.

can you tell me how i can change the colour of at the bottom of the page – i would like to change that grey/black colour into something more bright..

thanks

WPExplorer

The Footer?

This would have to be done via CSS. Example:

/* Make footer white */
#footer-wrap { background: #fff; }

If you aren’t sure how to make design changes to your site you should consider hiring a freelancer – freelanceswitch.com is a good place to seek help or also our partners at Tweaky

Default-user

thank you :) will look into this

Hi there,

First – love the theme, it looks great!

I’m trying to create a page where I can have regular content, followed by displaying posts (in the thumbnail/box format, like that on the homepage) from a specific category. So far I’ve tried to add a new page.php tweaking the code slightly to add in the category posts via:

<?php query_posts(‘cat=1’); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); endwhile; ?>

The problem is the page is loading both the thumbnails and full posts :(

I’m no wordpress expert so apologies if I’m doing the wrong thing, I’d like to get your help on this please.

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers Pat

WPExplorer

You are on the right track but you should be setting up a custom query rather then using query_posts use wp_query – http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
