Hi Kriesi,
I hope all is well.
Can you please advise. I am having problems with my WP install updating. I am not sure if its this theme or the server. I update an text widget or feature of the theme and it doesn’t happen instantly. It literally takes about 15-30 minutes to update. I don’t have this problems with any of my other sites on the same server. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your support and assistance, Lawrence
Hey, I ve never heard of an issue like that. do you have any caching plugins enabled?
I would also recommend to try to deactivate the theme and use a default theme to check if that would update instantly.
Hey Kriesi,
I have a quick question (after going through all the comments and other help online, to no avail) – when I add an image on a regular page, it seems to get linked to the url where the actual image is stored. In addition, the image itself is placed in a “box” on the page.
Can you just refer me to where I can change this? I think it’d just be an easy elimination of a few lines of the code, but I have no clue where to look.
Thanks for the help in advance! I appreciate it!!!
the link itself is applied within the wordpress editor when you add the image. before hitting the “send to editor” button make sure that you checked the “no link” option. additionaly, just to make sure once you have placed the image within your post content box select it and hit the unlink button, that should remove any links wordpress would want to apply
to remove the borders arround the images open style1.css in folder css (or style2,3 or 4 depending on the skin you have choosen) and search for
.item, .wrapper img { background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #DDDDDD; }at arround line 31. . change it to
.item, .wrapper img { background:transparent none; border:none; padding:0; }to remove all sorts of paddings and borders from the image
By the way, Kriesi, I don’t know why it’s not showing that I’ve purchased this. I do, however, have proof via receipt from Envato (as well as the the order number for this theme!!!) that I have no problem emailing you if this is what you need to show that I’ve actually paid for this theme. I’d really like the quick image help!
Hi Kriesi,
after moving the server from my vServer to a “normal Webspace” I have a problem. The blog page is not loaded completely. The function “kriesi_pagination ($ query_string);” is still called in blog_template. But the function itself is not running and load of the page is stopped. For all other sites Pagination is presented and therefore the Sidebar and the rest of the page are displayed.
Not working (blog page: stopped after content loop): http://tom-schimana.de/blog/
Working (tag page: with pagination): http://tom-schimana.de/tag/linux/
Old Site (working): http://schimana.net/blog/
I have no idea what it could be.
Thanks Tom
Just found out that the plugin “cforms” is the problem. Same version as on the old server. After deactivation, the page displayed again clean.
Update: Im not sure whether it is the plugin or the webservice has a cache system. Its working a short time and now not???
sounds indeed very strange but I am afraid I cant really help on this one. Dont know why it would work for some time and then doesnt :/
I write you a new comment in section for theme “display” with new infos… now when you look at the page, you’l see below is the memory memory. More Infos are in my other comment (display theme)
Sorry, its not my day. Written the comments in the wrong section.
Wanted to write my comments to the theme “display”. Sorry
Hello
our š.?,?,ž signs dont work in Headers. Is this OK?: http://www.kriesi.at/demos/levitation/all_characters.zip
yes, use the file in this zip archive and replace the file in you /js/ folder. if the signs dont work then the font unfortunatley doesnt support them and you might need to conisder deactivating the font in custom.js by removing line 12
Cufon.replace('h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,.heading',{ fontFamily: 'Quicksand' });Hi Kriesi,
not sure what you did actually center and what you want to center, cold you drop me a lnk? most of the times you will be able to just add a more specific css selector so you dont mess up the whole site
Hello one Q mroe: its possible to make hiearchy of pages at widget right?
Like 1. Page Like 1.1 Page… THANKS !
you could add a rule to your stylesheet to indent those items further:
#sidebar ul ul{ padding-left:10px; } #sidebar ul ul ul{ padding-left:20px; }Hi!
I’m interested to buy your WP-theme, and I have some questions;
- Is it possible to have more blogs (submenu under blog)?
- Is it easy(I’m new to WP) to customize some elements of the design like; the header, the menu(font), background & footer?
Thanks in advance!
/Lennart Persson
Hey Lennart!
1.) This is possible but not out of the box, you would need to copy and edit the current blog template file. The customization however is not extensive, just a few lines and this is something I would be able to guide you trough
2.) This is all possible with a little css knowledge, just a matter of adding/removing and changing rules in style.css
Dear Kriesi,
When I goto News or ANY page, then click on another link of the navigation bar, it does this.
So the home is lost unless u manually type it in.
(Recent changes)
Added Google Sitemap Added Favico and this line to header.
Can any of these changes cause this concern, please help as this is very urgent.
Thanks, Raul
Figured it out, I had added www.domain.com/news to blog name. Deleting the /news cleared issue. Sorry for waste of type.
hi Can you help me with the sub nav code? It works nice in that it pulls into the sub nav sidebar all the pages add to a parent page..and in order ..I would like to understand the code more to see how to add pages to the sub nav that may have more than one parent page.. Thanks
its a code snippet taken from wordpres.org:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages
I also found a tutorials utilizing similar code, you might want to use that: http://www.svennerberg.com/2009/02/creating-a-submenu-in-wordpress/
Hi Kriesi,
I recently moved my site over to Media Temple and for some reason the Twitter status update stopped working. I wonder if something happened in porting over the file, or perhaps a configuration at the host. Any chance you can take a peek and see if anything stands out to you?
My site is: kevinpowers.com
Appreciate the help!
.kevin
sounds like a configuration problem of the host, maybe the got different settings than your old one. most of the time this happens when file_get_contents doesnt work properly. the php documentation says the following:
A URL can be used as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename. See the List of Supported Protocols/Wrappers for links to information about what abilities the various wrappers have, notes on their usage, and information on any predefined variables they may provide.
So I would ask meditemple to enable “fopen wrappers ”, that might help
Thanks Kriesi,
Apparently Media Temple disables fopen for some sort of security reasons. Their suggests include: * Use a relative path to the file stored locally * Using the PHP environment variable $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’], which returns the absolute path to the web root directory. * cURL is another method that could be used. (This method is beyond the scope of this article.)
If you can give me enough insight, I can probably modify the files myself. Just not sure how to deploy one of these solutions, so any further insight would be great. Thanks!
.kevin
he kevin, unfortunatley i am neither sure how to apply these fixes. the easiest solution might be to get a plugin that uses one of these options and implement that. sorry that i cant reallyhelp with this :/
Hi Kriesi,
Hey, I would heavily recommend to get a freelancer to help you with customizations like this. Ive just checked the last pages and you have posted 15 times in less then a month here which shows that you are not really comfortable with editing the theme
you might want to check this thread and hire one of the guys to get you everything up and running:
http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/so-you-know-how-to-customize-a-template-and-want-to-make-some-money/24795
To be honest I feel very comfortable working on the template as this is my 4rth design using it but I feel that I should get the same respect and assistance that everyone else here has. As I see no limit in questions which you may have the answer to being that you designed the template and I paid for it. It is obvious that all of us could hire someone but it seems irrational that after making a few thousand dollars on a single template that you would respond in that matter. Coming from a professional I would expect better support from you.
Yes I understand I have a lot of questions but I have also purchased 4 of our themes and I didn’t go telling you why don’t you make better templates or that your templates suck, so maybe considering the need for your knowledge and skills could be taken as an appreciation that people have, looking at the way you are looked up I mean.
Don’t worry though, I have already figured out the concern. it was never my intention to bother, but by posting here with your assistance (Others have benefited from this).
I am sorry if you felt insulted, that wasnt my intention at all. The fact is I dont have to answer questions at all but I try my best to so. But no one ever asked 15 questions during 30 days so in fact you got a lot more support than anyone who ever purchased a theme (just to make clear that you get at least as much respect as anyone else here
)
I also didnt talk about any of the other themes since its perfectly reasonable to ask with every new purchase but the 15 requests we are talking about where only asked here at levitation so I thought you have major difficultys customizing it. Sorry if thats not the case, it just seemed so
So finally I am not exactly sure what you need by second teaser test but if I get you right you want to dynamically add content to another area in your blog posts?
The best way to do this would be to use wordpress custom fields. Add a new custom field, maybe call it “teasertext” when writing a post in your wordpress backend. The value should be the text you want to display.
to display this value in your template files you need to save it to a php variable that you can then outout anywhere in the template file:
Thank you so much for your response, I want you to know that in no way was it insulting to me. I respect how busy you are and that you actually respond to everyone with a revised answer. Hopefully I can learn more and stop bothering you for help. Ill send you links to my sites so you can give me your feedback. Once again thank you
Hello, Kriesi Bought the theme it all seems fine except that when I create the post for the images to be used on the slider I can’t seem to exclude that category post from the blog! I’ve tried every solution possible but unable to make it not show up! Also the the slider won’t work. images show up but again not working can you help? I’ll be glad to send you user/password so you can see for yourself. Thanks a million Roby
roby@mindplant.com
could you drop me a link to your site so I can take a look?
Okay prior to last question all good. my only frustration is how do I get the post category that contains the images for the home page slide to not show up in all in the recent post or category listings. I selected it on the blog page to be ecluded but would like for it not to show up in the Recent Post Categories.
Thanks, Roby
ah, well you might need to use a plugin then to controll the output for these widgets, or maybe a widget plugin that offers more control…
Any suggestion?
sorry, a user once dropped me the link to one at the display 3 in 1 theme discussion but since the thread has already tons of pages I am not able to find it without search functionallity :/
you might just try to find one via google/wordpress.org search
is it possible to hard code to exclude just two post IDs showing up in the recent post?
if you are using widgets to display the categories and not a hardcoded function you can try adding this to functions.php:
function filter_category($cat_args) { $cat_args['exclude'] = "3,4,5,6"; return $cat_args; } add_filter('widget_categories_args', 'filter_category');This should remove posts from category 3,4,5 and 6
here is the functions.php page from the template. Were would that code be inserted?
<?php global $kriesi_options; $kriesi_options = get_option(‘kriesi_options’);
add_action(‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘addjquery’);
function addjquery() { if(!is_admin()) { $my_jquery = get_bloginfo(‘template_url’). ”/js/jquery.js”; #wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ ); #wp_register_script( ‘jquery’, $my_jquery, false, ’’ ); #wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’); }
backend options
include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/options/import_options_no_auto_include.php’);
comment list template
include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/wp_list_comments.php’);
removes meta tag “generated by wordpress” for security purpose
function kriesi_no_generator() { return ’’; } add_filter(‘the_generator’,’kriesi_no_generator’);
class kriesi_list_post_items { var $showposts; var $list_class_name; var $split_post_at; var $split_title_at; }
constructor, change variables here
function kriesi_list_post_items() { $this?>showposts = 3; $this->list_class_name = “latest_news”; $this->split_post_at = 400; }
recent posts display
function recent_posts($heading = false) { global $k_options; $alternate_bg = array(‘even’,’odd’); $counter = 0; $negative_cats = preg_replace(“
”,”-${0}$0”, $k_options‘blog’);
$query_string = “cat=”.$negative_cats.”&showposts=”.$this->showposts;
$rp = new WP_Query($query_string);
shorents the comment content if too long
}
anywhere will do, would recommend to put it either in line 2 right after the open php tags or at the very bottom right before the closing php tags
Hi Kreisi
I have used a widget (Stock Quote Sidebar) in Frontpage Box 1 on the following site http://www.charlotte-square.com/wp and it is not staying within the margin. Please can you let me know how to resolve this?
add the following to your css file:
#top .widget table a { padding:6px 3px; width:auto; }this should remove the fixed width from the links
Thanks Kreisi, Sorry can you let me know where to place this? I have tried in several places and it’s not fixing the width.
at the very bottom of your style.css file
Great design Kriesi – recently launched my site using this design – http://tinyurl.com/eprllc
Ver nice, glad you like it! Thanks
