Debonair - Corporate WordPress Theme

Replied

Yes although not through the Debonair admin section. You can edit the style.php through the Appearance Editor or any editor of your choice and change the background-image url in the .body style.

Yes. To anyone reading these comments who is thinking of purchasing I would just like to clarify that I’ve been unable to provide support for a month or so due to health issues that cropped up. All sorted now so support is back to normal.

Await no longer… nice pic

Replied to all comments and emails.

Hi jsonline – On the basis you are on v1.5 then it’s line 40 of the footer.php file you want to edit as follows:

Original:

$args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ );

Update to:

$args = array( ‘numberposts’ => 1, ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘p’ => 58 );

Change 58 to the post ID of the blog post you want. I will now make sure this is without doubt put into the next update so you can specify the post in the wp-admin area if you don’t want the latest to appear.

NOTE : Make sure you use normal hyphens from your keyboard. ThemeForest automatically converts them in the comments. Pathetic, I know.

Thanks … I am on 1.3 because I customized so much but I think I am going to start the move to 1.5 this weekend unless 1.6 is close to release.

All comments and emails of yours replied to. Again, sorry for the delay.

Hi Kris – Pretty sure I’ve spoken to you via email about this. If not, please update to v1.5. For some reason people were resizing their images to 800px wide before uploading. This has a negative impact on WordPress’ incredibly poor image resizing algorithm depending on aspect ratio set in the functions.php.

That is one VERY bright red! To do so you’d need to edit the PSDs and replace all the image elements. Unfortunately not something you can do ‘out of the box’.

Again, fixed in v1.5.

This theme is set to use pre-configured colour schemes which can be tested in the preview. Otherwise you’ll need to edit the PSD and export the elements.

Hi parallaxsolutions2 – You can specify the email address for both contact form and newsletter in the “Debonair -> General Theme Options” section of wp-admin.

Thanks. I did that from the beginning, but the forms never send anything. I downloaded a plugin to test smtp and it sends mail just fine from the tester. So, whatever function is called to send e-mail doesn’t appear to be working or is not configured. I do have the php.ini file configured correctly and all tests work fine. Is there some file within your theme that specifies different e-mail form handling?

If you’re hosting it on an SMTP server then there’s a good chance you have relaying disabled which is required for the basic php send mail. SMTP servers aren’t a speciality of mine but if you have any further queries on this then please email me through my profile page.

Thanks.

With that attitude I’d prefer you didn’t purchase. As stated very clearly in a previous comment, I’ve not been able to get to a computer for a period of time. Now all is well again I am more than happy supporting anyone who purchases the theme whenever they need my help.

Hi hostmacro – As stated in a previous email, you don’t get the HTML template with this. You do however get all of the PSDs necessary to modify/create whatever you need.

Good stuff – thanks Kris.

- Footer menu now based on top level entries of the WP3 Menu system if used which falls back to standard top level pages if no menu has been set up.

- Image size issue for those compelled to resize images to 800px wide before uploading which was causing issues.

(Double post)

Hi Azmi – Could you please send me an email through my profile page including a link to the site in question so I can see what you mean?

Hi Peter,

There is a file called slider-settings.js in the “js” folder. Open that and you should see “timeout: 6000” (6 seconds). Adjust to whatever suits your needs, save the file and overwrite the original.

Thanks,

Jason
