Hi Kriesi !

1.- Thanks ! your template is beautiful 2.- Sorry for my bad english

This is my first mail to you , I have a list of all the question I want to ask you, but one by one I've been searching, learning a lot and most of them were really simple stuff ... but ..

I have 2 problems now , #1 – the main image slider is ” broken ” , i upload some images via wp editor and fine , then I try to upload a page with images ( no space, no text ) and it all worked fine . So I grab some more banners (4), upload to the page , and then it all stop working , the image is smaller and the flash is not working … What happen ? I try to delete the page, make a new one , and nothing seem to work . If I try to use the WP editor again for the images, it worked , but I really want to use the page option .. can you help me please

And #2 , I want to use some images in the blog and the sidebar ( white background ) but the theme its putting a margin/frame in all the images, how can I erase all the margin/frame to the images in the sidebar ? and the ones in the blog ?

I’m working your theme in this test blog , you can see what I’m talking about http://automatizacionindustrialmexico.com.mx/

Kriesi, thanks for your time , your help and for this beautifil theme Greetings from Mexico !

Kriesi

you need to add the images without any align options. yors are set to align center by wordpress and thats casuing the problem I guess. so when inserting the images set the alignment to none and you should do fine.

to remove the border search for this in style2.css:

.content img, .content a img {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px solid #AAAAAA;
}

and change the border to

border:none;

On the homepage, I have tried making the 3 images on bottom portion of the page links (as seen on http://castlereinsurance.com ) but got a pretty thick border around the images. I tried looking at their code but didnt see anything different than the original code that I have.

Any help is greatly appreciated on this!

Kriesi

I am not sure if i understand, is castleinsurance your page or should your page look like that? If the first assumption is the case, it looks perfectly fine for me, if the second is the case please drop me your sites url :)

my site is www.simplifiedbt.com and I would like my images to be links like on the RECastle site

Kriesi

I see, add this rule to the bottom of your style.css file:

.info_box a img, .info_box a:hover img{
border:none;
}

That should do the trick

Hi,

I want to use jQuery, but it seems to me that it doesn’t work. There is an function that adds the path of the javascript file. So I just tried to add

$(document).ready(function(){ $(“a”).click(function(event){ alert(“Thanks for visiting!”); }); });

in header.php. But it doesn’t work. Did I do something wrong?

Kriesi

the wp_head(); function includes all your javascript, if you use jquery afterwards you shouldnt get any problems.

ALso make sure to use the word jQuery instead of the $ symbol, since jquery is called in no-conflict mode to make it possible to work with other javascript libraries as well ;)

Can we get some help on creating dynamic sidebars? I’d like to have the option to use different sidebars for different pages.

Does that make sense?

Kriesi

The theme doesnt support this function out of the box but I’ve heard that there are some plugins on wordpress.org that can handle such a task. you might want to search for one of those ;)

Is there an easy way to make the 3 small images on the homepage “hot” so the images themselves can link to another page?

Kriesi

unfortunatley you would need to hardcode those links into index.php at the current point, since this feature is not implemented within the theme…

Hey there, I can’t seem to have the comment box appearing on the site. I’ve got all my contents listed under “pages”, would love to know how can I enable the Comment option.

Thank You Casey

Kriesi

the theme doesnt display comments on pages. since comments are usually only used for blog pages. if you copy the contents of single.php into post.php you should be able to display comments on your pages as well :)

hey Kriesi

In IE8 the bullets next to a post on the “news” page do not display. Have you addressed this before?

Is there a fix for this? Or can you tell me where I can make a change to remove them?

Thanks in advance for you time and help

Kriesi

the interesting part here I guess is:

style1.css (237)
.entry ul li {
background:url("../images1/dot.png") no-repeat scroll 12px 8px transparent;
}

style.css (736)
.entry ul li {
padding:0 0 0 25px;
}

I will have a look into the issue during the next days when I am able to prepare my themes for wordpress 3.0 ;)

Hi Kreisi. I am having the same issue as jstelluto where the image slider jumps. I think my dimensions are okay at 900×240. Any ideas?

http://trinityhousing.org/newsite/

Thanks.

Kriesi

adding this to style.css should fix your problem:


#main_transition p{
padding:0;
}

Hi Kreisi

I have purchased this theme and have seen what others have done with it, love it to bits. I have to say I’m new to all this and am wondering if I am missing some key elements.

I have uploaded the theme (although it did have errors) – I get the basic template but I struggle to see how I add the images that I want on the front page (yes I read the documentation). I am not an html scripter, is it essential that I can write in HTML to be able to use the theme? I was hoping it would be simple for even a newbie.. is it not the case?

Kriesi

No, you dont need html to add images. to populate the slider open your backend and create a new page. add the images to the page conent and save the page. now opene appearance->cubit options from your menu and at “Cubit Starting Page Image Slider” select that slider.

to add small images to the 3 columns start writing a new blog post. underneath the content area you can find several additional cubit extra options. at:

Small Mainpage Preview Image (280px x 60px): at the url to the image that should be displayed, for example:

http://www.path.to/image/wp-content/uploads/yourimage.png

Hi Kriesi

Thanks so much for the reply, I had gone around in circles but now I have it working :0)

How do you set up the portfolio page? I would like to add about 8 medium size images on the portfolio page and under each of them to have a little bit of text. When I click on the image I want it to open in another window but bigger. Is this simple to do without me messing with the code?

Thanks soooo much!!!

Also, sorry for the questions, but do I need a plugin for the contact us page to work or is there some instructions somewhere on how I set it up? Thanks

Kriesi

when creating a new page, chooses the portfolio template as page template. then go to your wordpress backend->appearance->cubit options and set the category for “Cubit Portfolio Page Content” this is your portfolio category now, all posts within this category will appear on your portfolio page.

Opening the image in another window in a bigger version would reuire to edit the tempalte_portfolio file and add a few worpress specific stuff, namely the use of custom fields but this is already intermediate wordpress stuff :/

the contact page should work out of the box: you just create a new page and set the page template to “contact form”

Thanks again :-)

I got the contact page working and also opening the image in a new window by using a plugin. Is there any way of changing the image size on the front page, for example making the slider larger and the smaller images (on top of the 3 columns on page 1) are currently rectangular is it possible for me to make them more square (in the coding perhaps)? Thanks a million :)

Hiya On each pager there is a section on the left where you have your widget for pages (the menu that gives you the links to each page). I dont want this on my portfolio page and although I can deselect the widget it leaves a space where it would have been that I cant seem to fill myself. Do you know if its possible to use this space on the left or if its reserved for the pages widget? If I cant use the space then the theme wont work for our website and I’ll need to look at changing it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

hi kriesi,

i’m trying to add another logo to my home page on the right hand side over the navigation tabs. I searched your discussion archive and couldn’t find anything. I also asked a freelance webmaster to do this for me but he seems very confused by the template and how things are built. Would you have any pointers please as to how I can add the logo just to the home page? I’d really appreciate it,.

Many thanks

/Deirdre

Kriesi

just to the homepage? you would need to add it within the header.php file within the div with id “head”. and to make it also appear only on the front page you also need to wrap it within an php if statement:

if(is_home())
{
echo '<img class="youclass" src="imagepath.png" />';
}

then position the image with the help of the class you applied to it with the help of css. make sure its set to somethin like:

.youclass{
position:absolute;
right:30px;
top:15px;
z-index:1000;
}

Hi Kriesi Is there any way of increasing the slider on the main page? I have looked in header.php and I can see where I have the image size but changing this doesnt change the actual slider size. I would like it to be the same width but the height to be doubled – any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi Kriesi,

komme auch aus Wien ;-)

Love the theme!!

The default images don’t display and I want to change them anyways to some fitting for the blog. Any suggestions for a free source to find fitting images. Also I need to change the logo for the logo of the company I work for, but I nor anyone else has any idea about fitting/resizing the logo to fit with the blog. I tried to just exchange the logo.png, but as mentioned its too large. Or how to change the logo frame size?

use wp 2.9.2

Danke fuer die Hilfe,
