MyVideoBlog

I had problems with the Featured Video box on the homepage. Got it fixed thanks to snagget.

Gotta put Custom Field “Embed” with the embed code from the videosite.

The new colors are much better. I’m glad I bought it even if I had to overpay by $5.

But tweaking of the site, isn’t easy. Still working on it. Put in a bunch of plugins.

*There is a problem with the categories page and the style code. See here http://www.freewebspecial.com/golivemiami/?cat=54

Stan,

Many thanks for the theme. Great job! This is the theme I have been looking for long time. The only problem I have at the moment is that the small boxes of posts with video and text below the featured video at the main page do resize. How to keep them in fixed size?

Thanks, Margus

@VisualAngle – I’ve send you an email.

hi alex,

thanks a lot

my problem is that

1. the categories are shown as a drop down menue not as a list

2. the navigation on the bottom is not showing

thanks lukas

1. the categories are shown as a drop down menue not as a list This is caused by widgets, in categories widget, the option Show as dropdown must be disabled.

2. the navigation on the bottom is not showing You must have activated the WP-PageNavi plugin, you can download it from here: http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-pagenavi

Problems solved! Excellent theme and excellent customer support. Highly recommended! Thanks, Margus

Hello Alex,

Thanks for creating this theme as well as your pricing! I am having some trouble with getting my blog to look like the example. I am unclear on how to get thumbnails up, but I’ll continue to go through the instructions. Also, I would like to know how to remove the MyVideoBlog name in order to insert my own branding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I followed the instructions for embedding and posting thumbnails in the guide by adding new custom fields for embedding videos and pasting part of the pic upload in the values field for the thumbnail, but I’m not having much success. Please advise on how to proceed.

@LouRiley – hi, please send me an email with admin login details at webmaster@alexstan.com.

Hi -

I’m also having a problem getting the thumbnails to show up. My blog is not at the root, it’s in a directory called “testblog”. I’ve tried creating a custom field called “thumb” and using “wp-content/uploads/2009/06/1.jpg” and I tried using “testblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/1.jpg” but the thumbnails still don’t show up.

Thanks -

nm – permissions issue. You might want to update your documentation to mention that the permissions on the theme folder need to be set to 777.

hi, I have a question: is it possible for me to customise the theme (colors, backgroundpicture etc.) with css?

thanks renubi

@renubi – yes you can change color in css

hi, thank you for your answer. now i have one more question: how can i upload a video directly without using some other host like youtube etc.

thanks renubi

Just upload your flv file and then use JWplayer

Hello Alex. I need some assistance with changing the name from MyVideoBlog to LouRileyLive!. You had sent info when I had decided to use another name, but I decided to stay with my original plan. Also, is it possible to change the back ground color of the page from light grey to something else? Just curious about that one. You help will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. on episode 7 of my site. I am getting an all grey background and the info under the video looks as if the page has not completely loaded yet. Can you check this out and offer any solutions you can think of?

Thanks again!

Love this just bought it and installed it easily. One problem – how do I change the logo ? Do I have to upload a file or can i just write it somewhere?

Question…. I just upgraded my blog to wp 2.8.2., but when i did that it no longer lets me edit the widgets bar…. it totally disappeared on me. When will you have support for 2.8.2. and do you have any ideas of where I could begin to fix this problem? I need to edit my RSS feeds in the widgets because it shows up with weird symbols.

www.KeepItTrill.com/videos is where I have everything installed

^- I just sent you an e-mail to webmaster@alexstan.com from trillpromotions@gmail.com , so if you could disregard this comment and just respond to my e-mail please.

Thanks!

Is it possible to change the logo in this theme?

Thank you!
