Pinster - Full Width Portfolio WP Theme

Hi Semmy,

As a blog is usually viewed as a news feed and then filtered down through archives etc, I chose to leave the random option out for the blog section to keep the page load to a reasonable level for the 99% of users that will want the blog displayed in order.

Here’s how you can customise your installation to suit. Add this line to index.php on the line directly above the loop:

 <?php query_posts('orderby=rand') ?> 

For your reference the loop looks like this:

 <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> 

Good luck! Tom

Thanks

Hi,

If you want the bullets to show add this to your custom css area:

 ul li { list-style: disc; } 

Thanks Tom

Yes this is correct. If you want to start using Yoast press fix it and the Yoast plugin will start overwriting the default description fucntion in Pinster

In index.php remove this to remove comments etc;

<?php if ( $format == 'gallery' || $format == 'video' || $format == 'standard' ) {?>
            <div class="articleFooter">
                <i class="icon-comments-alt" /> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php comments_number( __('0', 'pinster'), __('1', 'pinster'), __('%', 'pinster') ); ?></a>
                <i class="icon-bookmark" /> <?php the_category(', '); ?>
                <?php the_tags('<i class="icon-tag"> </i>',', ',''); ?>
            </div><!--/articleFooter-->    
            <?php } ?>

Or in css set;

 .articleFooter { display: none !important;} 

To remove dates search through the postFormats folder, in the appropriate .php files you’ll find this line somewhere within each;

 <?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?> 

Delete it.

All done

Hi there, let me look into this for you. Sometimes a host can block the PHP mail() function, which would render my contact form useless. Can I ask who your webhost is?

Hi there,

From your dashboard go to the updates section, you should see Pinster update v1.1.1 waiting for you there, update Pinster and the error will be gone

Hi there,

what section are you struggling with?

Hi there,

The blog should be showing all your categories anyway – do you want to show both portfolio & blog posts on the same page?

Would you like to message me through my profile page and explain what you’re after further? Cheers!

Hi there,

I’m afraid I don’t have time to build the site for you – but I can help you.

If you’re struggling then start with a brand new Wordpress Install – & don’t install any plugins! (Plugins can cause theme options, add them one by one once you’re done setting up.)

Once you have a brand new install with Pinster uploaded then follow the documentation and add in your content post by post. You’ll get there

Just take it slow and follow the documentation, you’ll be fine

Hi there -

This is indeed a simple fix for you. From your WP Dashboaord click on “Dashboard” => “Updates”. There should be a theme update waiting there for Pinster for you. Update the theme using this, it’s a one-click install, and then the error should be gone

Hope this helps!

Excellent

Hey, of course! If you want to get your hands dirty then you can modify style.css and base.css to your liking.

Or use this plugin for google web fonts (it’s ace, & no code required!);

Cheers!

Awesome, don’t forget to rate Pinster if you’re enjoying it

Hi there,

I haven’t included one in the download yet, but if you send me a message through my profile I’ll email you one over

Do you know how to import a demo file etc. ?

Awaiting your email, cheers!

1400px width should cover most screen sizes, larger screens may have a little pixelation if viewed at full width, though you’ll have most of your bases covered at this width. hope this helps!

Hi, have you tried disabling your plugins to see if this fixes the issue. Could you send a link to your site for me to have a peek? You can contact me through my profile if disabling plugins does not fix anything.

have you set any portfolio posts as sticky? This could create the duplication you describe.

cheers!

Hey there,

Pinster is tested & working in WP3.5 – it sounds like the issue you’re having is that your wp menu needs to be re-set. Go to the menu editor and make sure everything is set properly

Hope this helps

Hey there,

The hover effect is shown on the portfolio post type, the regular post type shows posts in the method you’ve described

Follow the documentation on making the portfolio page & portfolio posts & you’ll produce what you need

Hope this helps!

I’ve replied to your next post, try keep them all in the same post-thread
