Monte Cristo

by mks6804

  • The slider isn’t pulling the images I linked to even though I double checked and it is listed under Custom Fields, etc. Any ideas?

    this is because your hosting hasn’t enabled the GD library for your server, or your monte-criston/scripts/ folder doesn’t have full permissions:

    This theme runs an image resizing script known as TIMTHUMB .PHP. The following are requirements in order for TIMTHUMB to run properly:

    - TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host sever with PHP 4 .3+ installed. – Proper write-permissions in folder * “monte-cristo/scripts/” to 777 and – Proper write-permissions in folder * “monte-cristo/scripts/cache” to 777

    Contact your host and to add the following rules [ 1234234,340151,340153 ] to mod_security for www.yourwebsite.com. and Please whitelist for the domain

  • Does this theme support drop downs for the page navigation?

    Yes it does! If you have downloaded the older version where it doesn’t support child pages – get the updated files from this link: http://fearlessflyer.com/downloads/Monte-Cristo-Update.zip

    This download IS NOT the whole theme! It only contains the files needed to convert the page navigation to support child pages in a drop down style menu: Header.php and the css files.

    Simply – unzip this file locally – replace header.php and style.css with the files in the zip file.

  • How do you limit the amount of text being shown in the home page templates? I thought it was pulling from the excerpt but that does not appear to be the case.

    I find it best to just use the “Read More” tag where you want the post to break off. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

    This way you can control if you want links / images to show in the excerpt because by default – the_excerpt strips these tags out.

    although, if you really want to change to the excerpt:

    inside the theme folder – look for the file: “slider-with-latest-posts.php” and change the line that says: “the_content()” to the “the_excerpt()”

  • On the animated slider, where can I slow down the animation, it’s going too fast?

    inside the theme\scripts\ folder – look for file named “easySlider1.7.js” – open and look for this line: “pause: 2000,” change the 2000 to a higher number represented on milliseconds
