Survive - Wordpress Business/Blog/Portfolio

Hey Wade, just create new posts with featured images, and put them into the portfolio category/ies, it should be explained in the help file

cheers

Hey, to add a link to a slide, edit the slide post, and add custom field named slide_url, then put the link itself(i.e. http://www.google.com) in value field.

cheers

Sorry – I do not understand what to do – Where do I put: slide_url And how do I make the custom field ?

It’s a wordpress feature, check this vid: http://wordpress.tv/2009/08/29/custom-fields-introduction/ he gets to the point around 1:25. If you don’t have the custom field box like he does, then click “screen options” in top right corner and check “custom fields” checkbox so wordpress starts displaying them.

Hi, try adding #slider{height:344px !important;} to the bottom of css file you will find in yourwordpressinstall/wp-content/themes/Survive_WP/css/style.css

(not the yourwordpressinstall/wp-content/themes/Survive_WP/style.css )

this should do it.

cheers

I do not have a file called style.css i that folder. I only have reset.css and an images folder But my folder is also called: yourwordpressinstall/wp-content/themes/wordpress_survive/css/

ah ok then, you have the style.css in yourwordpressinstall/wp-content/themes/wordpress_survive/

just updated preview to 3.4.1 and works fine, so must be something else. Check if your plugins are up to date, best turn all of them off (except the ones that came with the theme) and turn them back one by one to find culprit.

cheers

Hey,

it’s supposed to work like that, the portfolio being a gallery itself but it can be changed, mail me your pass/acc and a link to wordpress, and if I’ll find a free minute I’ll do it for you

as for the slider – you need to treat the slider as completely separate being, just with slides “looking” like posts. So you need to specify the category of which the slider will be fed from in the option tree and then stick with that category only for posts.

You can always add a link to a slide by using custom fields, it’s described here: http://themeforest.net/item/survive-wordpress-businessblogportfolio/145363 just one note – you might not see the custom fields thing at first, you need to (when editing the post/slide) hit the top right button saying “screen options” and then check the checkbox with custom posts. Then they will appear on the bottom of the page

cheers

Hey Antony, I am one man team

glad you got it

cheers

hey Pete,

.box .cover{display:none} thrown into the bottom of the css should do the trick with removing the text

the prettyphoto not opening is caused by the wp-prettyphoto plugin that is stuck without updates for some time now, it uses older version of jquery, while the updated wordpress use much newer 1.7.2 which leads to conflict there. If you don’t use many other plugins you could try to go to appearance=>editor=>functions.php and replace this highlighted part: http://prntscr.com/im76y with http://prntscr.com/im7cd . Then just check if everything else on the site is working correctly

If that will cause some problems – we’d have to “uproot” the wp-prettyphoto plugin and replace it with something else (regular version of prettyphoto)

cheers

hmm you mean the highlighted part is not there? or the whole part? the whole part must be there, it’s just at the beginning of the file, if you don’t have the enqueue tho, just add it like it is on screenshot

then just make it look like from the second screenshot

ye I definitely will have to revisit the theme for upcoming wp 3.5. Glad it worked, cheers

just updated the theme preview to 3.5.1 and everything seems to work a lot depends on the plugins that you use along with the theme. Happy easter!
