Business Professional Package (WordPress Edition)

The zip file you download from ThemeForest is not the zip file you need to install into WordPress. You must first unzip this file. Inside THAT folder, you’ll find the documentation, PSDs, and a ”/theme/” folder containing the theme itself and another zip file. This is the one you can use to install the theme from within WordPress.

There are several key factors you need running to ensure that the image-resizer script will work correctly on your server. First and foremost, the script requires PHP 5 .1+, so be sure that you have a newer version of PHP running. Secondly, it requires that the GD library be turned on (usually it is by default, but on some servers it’s not). Lastly, be sure that the ”/imagecache/” folder is writeable (CHMOD to 777, or Read/Write/Execute on all three rows).

It’s also important to note that I’ve seen it still just “not work” on low-cost servers, such as GoDaddy and Bluehost. These are NOT good hosting providers, and their servers are sub-par. Switch to a more reliable hosting company like Media Temple (http://mediatemple.net) whenever possible.

Open “home.php”, go to line 103 and change the number. It’s that simple! To change the number of blog posts that show up on the category pages, you’ll need to go to your WordPress Admin (Settings > Reading) and change the default numbers.

The main navigation, along with the rest of the header items, are located in the “footer.php” template. This is for two reasons. First, this promotes (in Google’s eyes) the most important content to the top of the page, which is great for SEO . Secondly, it prevents the menu from breaking in IE6 (issues with z-index, etc.).


Because the items are dynamically generated (except for the “Home” link, which can easily be removed), you need to “exclude” pages from either the “wp_list_pages()” or “wp_list_categories()” functions. To do this, locate these functions in “footer.php” (they are each in two places, once for the top navigation, and again for the footer’s navigation). After the “title_li=” in each of these function calls, you’ll need to add “&exclude=#,#,#” where the #’s are the IDs of the pages you want to exclude from the menu.


To remove the “Home” link, simply remove (or comment out using <!- and ->) the following lines (there are two instances of them; one for the top navigation, one for the bottom):


<li if=""> class="current_page"<? } ?>><a href="<? bloginfo('home') ?>">Home</a></li>

These posts are ordered by post date, newest first. To reorder them, you simply change the post date to a newer one to move it closer to first, and older to push it back.
