I suggest this as an FAQ item – image slider thumbnails don’t display properly. I suspect this has something to do with the cache but I would like to see a step-by-step troubleshooting guide on this issue. It seems to come up a lot in this discussion.
most of the times its not really a cache issue but a link that is not handled correctly by the server and can be solved by including or not including the http://www in front of the image string.
you might want to try this, if it doesnt work please drop me your sites url so I can take a look myself
In the image post, in the frontpage-image field, I have http://www in front of the URL . Is there somewhere else I need to add this?
In the past, when I had this problem, I deleted the post, recreated it and the problem went away. It seems very intermittent which is why I suspected a cache problem.
could you drop me a link to your site here so i can take a look myself?
http://www.apexsnowboard.com
looking at your source code there are no images at all. dont know why this could happen, are there any plugins that might interfere?
maybe you might want to drop me a mail with the following data via my profiles page contact form:I will take a closer look allthough I cannot promise anything
Kriesi:
How do eliminate the text area in the image slider block? My images are all 610×350 and I want to display the image only with no grey area to the left.
I tried editing the CSS entries for #featured but it didn’t work.
Advice?
Thanks,
hhk
the grey area is defined by a background image sprite. the background image is necessarey for the rounded corners and the subtle shadow at the outside.
you can change it in style1.css (or depending on your skin choice in 2,3,4 or 5.css)
#featured { background:url("../images/bg_slice.png") repeat-y scroll center top transparent; color:#F5F5F5; }Is it possible to modify the portfolio page so that in addition to the thumbnail image that launches the lightbox there could be a small text field/caption below each thumbnail that you could use to describe in greater detail and link to wherever you wanted (to a page or a post or even another site)
yes it is possible and maybe only an hour or two of work but unfortunatley more than I am able to write down here
If you are not familiar with wordpress it could become really troublesome as well. you might want to get a freelancer familiar with wordpress to pull this off, here is a list of a few people that might help you: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/so-you-know-how-to-customize-a-template-and-want-to-make-some-money/24795
Hi there – Themeforest really does need a search comments function really. Anyway, not sure if this has been raised before I have looked but my eyes started to bleed. We have put your theme together for a client (and god, the design they have in the background is nasty) and theres loads of sub pages. In the sub Nav in the side bar we currently only want to show the child of the actual page the visitor is on.
IE. we have a parent page of “advert”. Then a sub page of that called “design”. Then a sub page of design that says “layout” and one more sub page from that to “book”.
So what we need to happen is when on “Design” page, you see “Layout” in the sub menu – not advert, not design, not book.
In the sidebar.php I have found this which looks like it may control what I need – I just dont know how to change the level that is shown. I basically only want the child to show up and nothing else.
if($post->post_parent) $children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=”.$post->post_parent.”&echo=0”); else $children = wp_list_pages(“title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=”.$post->ID.”&echo=0”); if ($children) { ?>
Sub Nav
<?php echo $children; ?>
Help please :-s
Hey, I would heavily recomment to remove the built in sidebar menus from sidebar.php and use a plugin or menu manager to make your customizations easier. the current function is just a small code snippet from wordpress.org thats not really able to handle more advanced stuff
Hi again, thanks for the comment. Client has now changed their mind to what they want. Basically they only want to display what pages are on the same level as the current live page/selection in the side sub nav. Is this easie to do? I’m now looking at a menu manager but think that what they now want is easier as it seems so close to what originally is their? Problem is, I’m newish to this and really need a little guiding hand/push. Thank you so much
If I got you right this could be solved by just hidding second level lists in the sidebar with a small css addition:
#sidebar ul ul{ display:none; }That my friend, seems to have done the job. Thanks so much
while trying to customize the sidebar, i deleted a large chunk of coding without realizing and now am stuck with a Parse error that i can’t get rid of!! and of course, my back up drive was unplugged =S
someone else purchased this layout for their site, and i am filling in content for them. is there anyway i’d be able to get the original file or have someone fill in the blanks?
i have a problem with my twicet-theme. i can not open the category-pages. you can see is on this page if you will click on microsoft excel 2003 link:
http://www.computerkurse-wetterau.de/wp/microsoftexcel2003/test-3
if you click on the link you will see the first page with the breadcrumbs in the slider, but no archive-page with the posts.
i hope you can help me.
hm, not sure what is happening here. first of all you might want to check if the wordpress reading setting is set to default: in settings->reading set Front page displays Your latest posts.
also make sure that no plugins is interfereing with the theme, that happens sometimes as well..
thx but all settings are correctly. i have made a second installation without plugins, but the problem is the same.
please take a look again. thank you very mutch
STRANGE FOOTER ISSUE :
The footer displays perfectly on all primary and secondary navigation pages:
http://fastfitnessandtherapy.com/about/what-is-physical-therapy
However, it will not display on tertiary navigation pages:
http://fastfitnessandtherapy.com/about/what-is-physical-therapy/who-are-physical-therapists
My “footer.php” file looks like this:
http://pastie.org/927105
Thanks in advance!
could it be that its got nothing to do with the footer itsel, rather with the page content (maybe an unclosed element?)
When checking your site with the w3c validator it throws some html errors, maybe they are causing this problem…

Hi Kriesi,
I asked you this question a few months ago, and your answer left me stumped and I was too overwhelmed to try and figure it out. I’ll ask again….
I’d like to change the slider image on the Home Page to a more gentle, “crossfader” effect, where they blend into each other?
Is that possible? If yes, How do I do it.
you wrote:
I was able to successfully edit the custom.js file, but then the slider image stopped moving. I have no idea how or what to do when you say ‘change the positioning of the images and or divs to absolute’ – that means absolutely nothing to me… please help! I would love to figure this one out.
Thank you!!!!!

unfortunatley to pull this off you need a little knoledge in css and javascript, otherwise there is no real change to pull this off, even with a detialed instruction here which might be too long anyways. I would recommend to hire someone that knows how to do this, it takes probably an hour or two to adapt the slider to your needs.
if you need someone available for work I can recommend people listed here: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/so-you-know-how-to-customize-a-template-and-want-to-make-some-money/24795
I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple “portfolio” pages. For example I want one lightbox page to have “print samples” and another to hold “signage samples” is it possible to do this? Thanks
Sorry this is not possible out of the box with this theme. you would need to copy and edit the template_portfolio file and change the categories that get queried.
changing the template name and the name within the comment header would also be mandatory so wordpress knows that this is a unique page template. then you would be able to select that template when creating a new page in oyur wordpress backend. All in all pretty advanced wordpress stuff.
you might want to ask a freelancer if you are not comfortable with editing wordpress code, its maybe an hour or 2 of work. If you need someone who can do this for you might want to check this thread:

Hi Kriesi,
How to add a favourite icon? What size should it be?
Thanks and Regards, Kannan
you can add a favicon like with every other html site by either just placing a favicon.ico file in your root directoy ( no need to edit code then) or follow these instructions:
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
favicons are usually arround 1414 – 16 16px
Hi Kriesi
Thank you for the great theme. I have a customisation question for you.
Is it possible to link the homepage image slider ” Read more” button to a Page instead of a Post?
Thanks.
i guess the faq question #2 is what you need:
http://themeforest.net/item/twicet-business-portfolio-wordpress-5-in-1/faq/49773
Thanks for the reply, I’ve followed the instructions and created new custom fields + updated the code. But it doesn’t seem to be linking.
Here’s the site I’m working on: Redorbluedigital.com
Alternatively, is there a way to hard code the links and content that goes in each frame?
Thanks
did you also enter the link url to the custom field into as value? looks fine so far…
you might also try to use pastie.org to show me your template code…
The value was added, see here for screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/497533/custom%20fields.tiff
And the pasty of the index.php http://pastie.org/931240
Thanks!
I’m having a problem with the Text Widget on my frontpage. For some reason when I insert HTML code with links, the links won’t show up on the frontpage. The widget works fine when placed in the sidebar.
You can see it here: http://www.sdsnet.dk/v2/
I’ve tried searching through the discussion but apparently nobody has posted about this problem before.
It’s kinda urgent, so I hope you’ll reply asap.
-Thanks for the awesome theme.
-Dennis
P.s. This is the code I’m inserting:<div class="small_box box2 widget widget_recent_entries" id="for-dig-der"> <li><a href="http://sdsnet.dk/v2/?page_id=21">vil være medlem af SDS</a></li> <li><a href="https://medlem.socialrdg.dk/">vil ændre dine medlemsoplysninger</a></li> <li><a href="http://sdsnet.dk/v2/?page_id=40">er eller skal i uddannelsespraktik</a></li> <li><a href="http://sdsnet.dk/v2/?page_id=36">vil vide mere om socialrådgiveruddannelsen</a></li> <li><a href="http://sdsnet.dk/v2/?page_id=2">vil vide mere om SDS</a></li> <li><a href="http://intranet.sdsnet.dk">er aktiv i SDS</a></li> </div>^ follow-up
So I tried disabling ALL my widgets, and for some reason the widget in frontpage box 1 is still there.
Then I re-installing Twicet and still haven’t had any luck. Any ideas?
when looking at the code of your site there is just an empty ul element with a few p tags above. are you sure nesting is correct? the example below doesnt seem to have starting and ending ul tags for example…
Hi,
I am very interested in this theme and would like to purchase.
Could you please answer my following question?
Is it possible to add more menus to the navigation bar? I would like to add a ‘Services’ page. From the admin screen shot, it seems like that the navigation bar is fixed and we can not add more menus.
Thanks, Anshuman
are you talking about the navigation bar in the head area of each page? yes you can of course change that in your backend
The preview has 5 menu items in the navigation bar (Home, About, Contact me, Portfolio and Blog).
Can I add more menus in this bar? If yes, can I do this from Admin OR do I need change the CSS ?
you can do it from the admin
Please Please Please update this theme with Cufon! I have Levitation which has it but smoothing out the header fonts would be amazing!
thx but all settings are correctly. i have made a second installation without plugins, but the problem is the same.
please take a look again. thank you very mutch
Hi Kriesi,
I’m starting to get to a very slick site using your (excellent) theme.
Already done lots of customisation, but I’m stuck on a key issue for the site development.
Is it possible to provide custom images for the Small thumbnails on the home page slider?
Ideally I would like to replace the miniature versions of the main images with my own icons.
Hope you can help! Thanks very much.
I tried looking for the answer to this, but got tired of wading through comments
How would I go about removing the ‘Read More’ and ‘Next’ button on the slider images?
Thank you!
Hi Chris,
Regards, Sanjib
