Hello, I’m getting this error message and i would appreciate if you could provide me a solution. Thank you all in advance.:

Warning: mktime() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given in /home/content/07/5558407/html/bbnoc/wp-content/themes/Earth/functions.php on line 732

WPExplorer

Can you please check that your events have an end time? This error gets “thrown” if you have an event with a start but no end time.

Hello – Thanks again for the fabulous theme!

I wonder if you can assist me? For some reason all the event details such as start time, end time, date, etc are not showing. Only my description is displaying. What am I doing wrong?

WPExplorer

On the actual posts these details are not automatically inserted. I would consider adding an option for auto inserting the details to a future update, but the reason it doesn’t do so now is to give people with more flexibility in how and what to display in the details section. If you look in the demo I think for most I just inserted a little UL list with the details.

THanks for the purchase ;)

May I suggest an improvement for a future update? Many non-profits could benefit from advanced calendar/event functionality such as repeating events, color coding, and categories for events. Those features would be appreciated more than you know!

Oh, also if the theme presented a mobile version for small browsers like iPhones. Personally, I don’t like fully responsive themes because they tend to serve up a mobile page to iPads.

Nice work on the Earth theme!

:-)

WPExplorer

I might consider updating the calendar a bit. The idea was to have something very simple built-in for those looking for exactly that. As you may know there are already many great really advanced calendar plugins that do have what you request ;)

This theme was created before responsive/mobile design was really hot. I do intend on updating with responsive design in the future. If you don’t like to server responsive design on the ipad, it’s usually as easy as just deleting that specific media query or tweaking the css a little ;)

Glad you like the theme & thanks for the suggestions!

If I used a calendar plug-in with the Earth theme how would I customize the homepage to allow me to put a widget in the content area? Right now I have the homepage configured like yours because, other than reordering the fields, I can’t figure out how to put anything else on there. What I mean is, how would I replace the events widget on the homepage with the widget from a calendar plug-in?

Oh, and thanks for the Knowledgebase. I’m combing through it right now. Where can I find all the videos you’ve made on this theme?

WPExplorer

- I don’t think I’ve added all the videos to one place yet, something I’ll work on though for the next update ( I will probably have to make new ones since a bit will be changed). Right now they are mostly here: http://www.screenr.com/user/wpexplorer – but we’ll eventually move them to a youtube playlist.

- Exchanging an area on the homepage you’ll need to edit the correct file. Have a look in includes/home/

Hey there – purchased the theme for our non-profit organisation and love it!

One question though (I know I have seen this issue before in a post, but can’t find it which is why I decided to contact you): The images in the slider appear to be resized and show up a little squished. I know the theme automatically resizes pics, but I was wondering what the exact picture format is, just so I can crop images before and have them show nicely just as in your showcase-site!

thanks so much for all your support, the great work and dedicated support. This has become a rare thing so I really appreciate your work!

WPExplorer

Thanks for the purchase, glad its working out for you!

The images in the slider are 900px (wide) by 400px (tall) – but you can also change it pretty easily – http://www.wpexplorer.org/knowledgebase/change-homepage-slider-height-earth-wordpress-theme/

thanks, actually i now manually resized because otherwise they turned all flattened and stretched by the autoresize. So I was just wondering if there is an easier way than doing it manually!

WPExplorer

If the images weren’t cropping correctly by default there is likely an issue with your site not actually cropping the images or the images were infact not long enough – if they aren’t at least 900px wide they will stretch to fit the container.

ah ok, maybe that was the issue! thanks so much for clarifying!

Hello! Is it possible to remove the donate button?

Yes, you simply leave the URL blank in the theme panel.

Where can I find the code to tweak the social icons on top of the homepage? I want to re-order them and change the text on hover. Thanks!

WPExplorer

Header.php lines 70-85.

To change the order simply change the array and move the names around. To changes the names you can either change the array to have unique keys/values and then alter the foreach statement, or you can add some if conditionals to the foreach loop.

Please keep all questions on the support site, in the long run it will help us increase our knowledgebase so people can have quicker access to answers for their questions ;)http://wpexplorer.org

Thank you for a great theme! Can you tell me how to change the featured image height? I’d like to make the featured image shorter on each page.

WPExplorer

Hi Bena,

Forgive the delayed reply. Support is usually done via http://wpexplorer.org as comments are only checked by me and I’ve been out of town recently.

Please go a head and open the ticket and you’ll get a response in a bit! Also please specify exactly the featured image you want changed as there are multiple featured image sizes used in the theme.

hi there

Thanks for the theme. i couldnt get the sample data imported in as it said failed toimport. and unless i get the theme look like the demo link you gave, i cannot edit the contents for my client. I have uploaded the wordpress with the theme at

war.betasite.in

It appears you’ve managed to get things setup as it’s looking pretty good to me ;)

yea hi thanks.. i did manage things out but not the footer.. can you help how we can get the footer like yours.. for instance kindly let me know if you had used the same html text for adding the menus like “help the environment ?”

WPExplorer

The first widget area is just a text widget in which I added a little image using HTML.

2nd,3rd widgets are using the WordPress “links” widget – this is an older theme, so it was created before the “links” section in WP was removed by default.

Last widget is the “Recent Posts With Thumbnails” custom widget.

I having trouble showing the contact form and a Google map side by side on contact form. Any suggestions.

WPExplorer

You can do this using the column shortcodes:

example:

[column size="half" position="first"]
left content
[/column]

[column size="half" position="last"]
Right content
[/column]

How can I make the root, the home page? Or when I click on the logo, it goes to the root site. How can I make the root site the main page?

WPExplorer

I don’t understand the question. The logo by default does link to the homepage…

Are you having issue maybe setting up the homepage like the demo? Be sure to follow the included guide.

- Create a new page - Select the homepage template - Go to settings->Reading - Define that new page as the option for a static front page.

xilieus Purchased

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. However, where is the included guide? I can not locate it.

WPExplorer

When you download the zip from ThemeForest there should be a folder called Documentation with an HTML file which you can open up and read through.

I also have a knowledgebase here: http://www.wpexplorer.org/knowledgebase/

Default-user

There is not a folder of that type in the zip theme.

There is not a folder in the zip file.

WPExplorer

Make sure you are downloading the “main files” and not just the installable download. TF requires us to put all the other files such as docs/sample data in the main files zip. Inside you should find all these: http://cl.ly/image/0h2T2c2C1z3z

Hiya chap – nice looking theme. Probably a stupid question, but I assume one can have multiple events on one day on the calendar. Does it support reoccurring events? I am looking to use your theme to deliver a Village Hall website, the events section is very useful, but it will be a problem for the administrator if she needs to manually create multiple dates for the same events each week.

WPExplorer

- Multiple events yes, but it won’t show them in order of time, just whichever was added first in the dash.

- Re-curring events not supported. Sorry ;(

- I’m looking into updating the theme to use an external Calendar plugin which much more options, but I don’t have an ETA for the update yet.

Default-user

Thanks for getting back to me. The administrator is my sister, so it will be her job to put them in. I’ve never had complete success with calendar/event plugins. They are either overly complicated or too simplistic. I assume that I could disable yours and experiment with plugins? I’m just waiting for the nod from the committee and I’ll buy it, the calendar thing is just a niggle, pretty sure I’ll work something out.

WPExplorer

I agree with your thoughts on the plugins – too complex or too simple. This theme has a very simply calendar plugin with the thought that common folk would find it easier to use, but developers might want to use an external plugin.

It might be possible to add re-curring events via a recurring-post plugin, but I’m not sure if there is such a thing.

There isn’t any magic “disable events/calendar” button. But I can definitely help point you to the correct files if you want to edit things.

How can I change the url for the logo? I have a donation page that when clicked goes to https. Once on that page when you click on the logo to go back to the home page it stays on https and none of the pictures or plugins will load properly.

I figure if I change navigation to custom http links and the logo to http that will help. Thanks

Hi again! how is it possible to create a client testimonials page through this template? thank you!

WPExplorer

There isn’t testimonials built-in. So either you need to add the functionality manually or via a plugin.

Default-user

ok thank you!

Hi, I have a presale question.

Can I post multiple events to a single day?

WPExplorer

You can have multiple events in a day. But the theme isn’t capable to show them in the order by time, they will be displayed in the order they were entered.

I have an issue with the slider images not loading…any ideas?

you can see it here: http://hycionline.org/
WPExplorer

It appears your widget is breaking after the first footer widget. What do you have inside this widget? It seems to be causing a PHP error so the rest of your site doesn’t load (including the scripts necessary for the slider).

Default-user

I deleted the footer widget and it is still not loading? It was working fine a few weeks ago and I made no changes…

WPExplorer

If it was working fine and now it’s not something had to have changed. Whether you did it or someone else did. Things can’t magically stop working ;)

The only way to know exactly the issue is if you enable WP_Debug so you can see what error is appearing in the footer area – http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

If you have installed any plugins recently I would recommend disabling them to test as well.

note: If you can’t figure it out on your own you should open a ticket at our support site – http://wpexplorer.org.
