Go to appereance > background. You can add your own image or define a background color in there. Make sure to have the latest version first. Go to Account > Downloads to get it.

Hi

Maybe I am stupid, but in the main menu and the sub menu have an hover color? Have tried to ad it in the css file, but it doesn´t work.

Last question. Is it possible to add a color for .current_page_item .current_page_parent?

Hope you can help.

Regards Richard

Sorry, due to the font replacement script, the menu can’t have hover colors. That is why i decided to have some other effects instead.

Hi Bio,

I’ve been running your theme for months, and I have asked this before, but I absolutely cannot get blockquotes to work at all, I would really like some help with this. I am not running any plugins that would interfere with this.

I’m sorry this is a stupid question. Where can I find the help file for Magnifica? Thanks.

Open the zip file you downloaded from ThemeForest, go to the “help” folder and open the only file that is in there.

Hope that helps

I just purchased your theme and I am truly in love!

My only question I have is why can I not have an audio player in my posts? If I try to add media from the page template, I don’t get a player, but I only get a link. I have tried MANY audio plug-ins, so I don’t know if you suggest any either that you know are compatible with your template!

Thanks again!

If you are referring to the front page, the theme cleans many tags to display the preview. Open index.php and find line 66, you will see this almost at the end:

'<p><a>'
</a></p>

Add the tags your audio player is using, they are probably <embed> or <object> tags.

You might want to do the same for archive.php and search.php.

Hope that helps

Hi, beautiful theme. I’ve read through some of the comment pages to see if I could find an answer to my issue. Alas no.

Q1) If you take a look at my blog here: http://thoughtrobot.com – you can see I uploaded an image and the image shows in the slider. So that’s good. However, when you click into that post: http://thoughtrobot.com/reviews/role-play/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm/ – as you can see, the image does not show at the top of that post.

Basically, I want my post to look like yours in the demo: http://wordpressthemes.oscaralcala.com/magnifica/?p=50 – you see how the picture with the man is at the top of the post? Yeah, mine doesn’t show that.

Q2) On the home page, the newest post box right below the slider where it says:

“PG13 World of Warcraft: Cataclysm January 23, 2012 No Comments 1) Basics World of Warcraft hasn’t rea…”

How do I make it so it either A. it adds all the categories associated with that post, so it’s not just PG13 OR B. remove the categories all together?

I don’t want my readers to think that post or any of my other ones has only one associated category.

BioXD
BioXD Author

The image in your posts seem fine to me, did you figure out the issue?

For the categories, open index.php and find this line:

<div class="preview_category"><?php echo $category[0]->cat_name; ?></div>

replace with:

<div class="preview_category"><?php the_category(); ?></div>

That should do it.

Oscar.

martinimix

BioXD, thanks for the categories thing.

However, the image problem somewhat still persists but in a different form: I added the image manually into the post, but there is a weird problem. The width of the post is 610 pixels. When I upload an image that is 610 pixels, it goes over the post width to the right to about 650 pixels – meaning the CMS inceases the size for some reason. If I resize the image to 560 pixels, after I upload and post it into the entry, it automatically expands to the width of the post. This shouldn’t be happening.

I already tried setting the Media size and even resized it using Photoshop to fit the post width dimensions, but this still happens. For this issue, I will create a third post to demonstrate the issue:

The theme doesn’t really resize the images you upload. Take a look at your min and max images size settings in Settings > Media in your wordpress admin panel.

Oscar

martinimix

I did all that already by setting the size in the Media Settings.

I also switched the theme to a totally different theme and posting images to the blog keep the original sizes. It is ONLY with this theme that the uploaded images gets resized.

I even tried uninstalling the theme, deleting the theme off the host AND uploading it again, then installing it again. Same problem.

And no, it does not have anything to do with plug-ins, because I tried deactivating all of them and the same problem.

martinimix

Oscar, I’m sure you’re busy, but having to wait 2 to 3 weeks at a time for technical support for a theme I paid for doesn’t do well for your customers.

To clarify the image problem I am having: if you take a screen shot of that sample page I linked (http://thoughtrobot.com/reviews/action/sample/), and if you use a program like Photoshop, you will find that if you select the are of that sample 610×250 image, the width surpasses 610, BUT if you right click on that image and choose properties, it will show you that it IS 610 pixels in width.

That means something in the theme is screwing up the size of my featured image.

There is nothing in Media Settings to set the dimensions of original images, since it uses the raw uploaded size. It doesn’t use Small, Medium or Large because I did choose them and even if I did choose for example “Large” at 610×250”, the image will STILL surpass the width of the post to 670pixels wide.

So what I ended up doing for all my posts is shrink the size of my pictures down to 560pixels, in which then after uploading, the theme will stretch that picture to fill 620 pixels which is the width of the post. THIS should not be happening.

Here’s a picture of what I am trying to explain to you: http://thoughtrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/magproblem.jpg

BioXD
BioXD Author

I saw your diagram and I think you are thinking the theme is stretching the images because your measurements are wrong.

The maximum size for the post content area is 583 pixels, not 620, you probably took the number from the “content” div in the css which is the whole left block, including the spacing. This is why your 610px images are overextending the content area and why your 560 px images fit so well. You said yourself that if you took a screenshot you got 610px images, it would be possible for the content area to be smaller thatn that.

Hope that solves it.

Hello, I sent an email to you about an issue I was having getting my sidebar smaller. I extended my content page properly from what I can tell but I can’t seem to nail the sidebar right. My name is Jake and you should have my email from sometime last week. Thanks and I enjoy the theme very much so far just need some help with this tweak!

For those who bought this theme recently and are having problems getting the Light-box pop-up to work with your gallery shortcode, do the following steps:

1) Go to http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/ and download the latest Production version and unzip/unrar its contents into an empty folder on your hard drive.

2) Open another window to where your Magnifica theme is and locate this folder: includes\js – rename the following:

jquery-1.4.1.min.js, jquery.prettyPhoto.js

...to something else, like an underscore before the name.

3) Go back to where you have the PrettyPhoto folder and select the following files:

jquery-1.3.2.min.js, jquery-1.4.1.min.js, jquery-1.6.1.min.js, jquery.prettyPhoto.js – the two extra files just to be safe since I am not a programmer.

...now copy them over to the Magnifica folder where those .js files are located.

4) Now locate the prettyPhoto.css file in your Magnifica styles folder and rename it, eg: _prettyPhoto.css. Then go back to the PrettyPhoto folder and locate the prettyPhoto.css file and copy that over to the the Magnifica styles folder.

Everything should work fine now. I am using WP 3 .3.1 and had problems with the theme. Since Oscar wasn’t able to answer my other question as he never responded to my inquiry almost 2 weeks ago about post images not showing up properly, I went and tried to fix some problems myself. Alas I couldn’t find the answer to that particular problem. Eventually I added a gallery to my post and found that the Light-box loading animation went on forever. I figured it was probably because the JavaScript is outdated. So I went and searched for the Javascript on Google and I figured to do what I said above. It seemed logical.

Anyway, hope that helps you ladies and gents if you recently bought the theme. I think the author fell off the face of the planet.

If you get the following error message: ””Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist.” – delete the gallery shortcode from your post, then go back to your Media Library and re-insert the gallery with the “Image File” option selected in the “Link thumbnails to” section.

Hello!

This theme is compatible with versions greater than 3.0 of wordpress?

I still haven’t heard back from the creator of this theme yet and it is approaching a month from my initial email. Can someone else perhaps help me out? I cannot shrink the sidebar properly. I can extend the main content box just fine but the sidebar isn’t working right. Please contact me at wxwprez@hotmail.com if you can or you can simply reply here. This is driving me nuts!

The theme doesn’t make any changes to that. Check your current setting under Settings > Discussion in the Wordpress admin panel.

I have sent the creator of Magnifica NUMEROUS emails and there has been NO response. I have had no less than 7 people who work at the Apple (these are computer wiz types) store trying to help me get this template to work to no avail. I cannot get the background to change and I am very dissatisfied with the lack of response to help with with my issues.

Hi, sorry for not answering you via e-mail, I’m a bit behind on those.

Just checked your e-mails. Do you have the latest version of the theme? this was an issue with an older version that got fixed, you can get the latest version (1.4) from Account > Downloads here on ThemeForest.

Otherwise, you just need to follow the step by step instructions that are included in the help file. Make sure you are uploading the images to your own site and not an external service since this causes issues sometimes.

Let mw know how it goes.

Hola BioXD

Quisiera saber como hacer para que en vez de dos columnas de entradas, aparezca solo una en el cuerpo de la pagina y que cada una de las miniaturas que exhiben se vean mas grandes.

Muchas gracias

Thank you for getting back with me. I did not have 1.4 and have now downloaded it, but it doesn’t seem to be installed to my wordpress. I am having a hard time installing it. Do you have suggestions on how to install it once it’s downloaded? Thank you.

Actually, I went though the help menu to install 1.4 and it seemed that it worked but didn’t all I can find is 1.0 and so I tried installing again, but it would let me do it because it said it was already there. It is not under my available themes, only 1.0 is there.

Hey Oscar,

First of all, great theme!

I’m trying to change the roll-over on the buttons on the main menu. I don’t want the roll-over block for the drop-down menu, but want only the letters to change colour. I’ve bin searching for the code but can’t find it. How can I get this done?

Another question, how can I exclude featured-posts from the main page, so that is does show up in the sidebar but not in the content area with the other posts. This because I don’t want double posts on the main page. I tried making a separate category and disabling that category for the main page but this also disables the posts from showing up in the featured-posts area.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the kind comments.

For the rollover I recommend you not to do it. I didn’t include the option because you need to reload the font replacement script for it to work everytime the user hovers one of the buttons and the site gets a bit slow. If you really want to do it, all you need to do is add an usual hover value to the css and then reload the font replacement script (cufon) and trigger that when the user hovers a button.

To exclude categories, open index.php and add this line at the beginning.

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-3'); ?>

Replace the number 3 with the ID of the category you want to exclude form the index.

Hope that helps.

I fixed the background issue in my theme. If you go into your FTP and go to this location:

http://YOUR URL HERE /wp-content/themes/magnifica/magnifica/images/bg.jpg

then delete that file: bg.jpg

then you should be good to go. Hope this helps.
