Luxury Wordpress Template

The home page you see in the demo is using a custom page template which I then set as the home page in the standard wordpress admin > settings > reading.

You can set this up as a standard blog or a more CMS -style site.

You sure can, with the reusable custom category page template (included with instructions) you can create a page (so it appears on the menu anywhere a normal page would) and then tell it which category or categories to display.

Please add a page using the custom category page template (see instructions). The page title/name will appear in the main menu and display the category or categories you choose below the content area.

First, create a page (let’s call it “blog”) using the custom category page template. Tell it which categories to pull in using a custom field of categories and the value should be the category IDs. (See help files)

Set a custom field of hide_thumbnails with a value of ‘yes’ to hide thumbnails on that page.

Note: be sure when using the custom category page template as your blog you do not have anything set under – Settings > Reading > Posts Page.

Please add this to the “add-on” css area in the Theme Settings page:

.sf-menu UL.children { margin:0; }

Yes, in js/general.js there are settings for the cycle plugin, you will see a height setting.

Before 6.22.10 – it will be set to ‘auto’ – change that to 400 but do not use quotes like you see on auto.

400 is just a sample height, you may need more or less.

Be careful to leave the comma after the number

Be sure when using the custom category page template as your blog you do not have anything set under – Settings > Reading > Posts Page.

This causes wordpress to use index.php vs. the custom category php file.

In /css/screen.css comment out or remove the two lines below:

A:active
{
    color:#000;
    /* position:relative; */
    /* top:1px; */
}

You can override the default background color by controlling the div with an id of main (#main). Add code like this to the “additional css” area in the custom theme settings page:

#main { background:#000; }

The theme was updated on 6.2.2011 to fix this IE9 bug. The js/cufon-yui.js file was replaced with the newest version.
