WPA Delight

HEY EVERYONE !!

I hope you like the theme. If you have any support questions, please post them on our forum at http://www.wpart.net/forums/ so that i can get to them quickly. I am not notified when comments are posted here, but I am when they are posted on the forum!.

Wow! I think I’m gonna buy this one. I’m one of your WPA theme fan.

Great Theme!

I purchased this theme this morning, and am frustrated. I love the design, but it break core features of Wordpress. The “home” page is hard coded navigation. It expects that your homepage will always be your “blog” page. I am unable to use the functionality in wordpress to set a different page as my blog, and use the main page as a blog category, or a blog page.

The functionality I refer too is in the Wordpress Admin Panel.

Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays ->”a static page”

If I set “Home Page” and “Posts Page” to be specific pages The navigation is all broken, and it doesn’t behave the way you would expect.

I hope this is fixed. Themes should not break basic Wordpress functionality. I really don’t want to have to hack the code to make it work.

It being designed as a business/cms theme is exactly my point. Why would someone want to create a homepage as a category? Most business put press releases in the blog roll and don’t want that as their homepage. They want a blurb about them. While they could create a category and sync that category to the homepage, that new “category” now would show up in the sidebar widget, and may not be what they want. I know it’s not what I would want. I have had customers who have bought similar themes from other vendors who have had the same complain that it wasn’t what they wanted, and in the end I end up rewriting it for them. It was just frustrating that it didn’t do what I wanted out of the “boix”.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the theme, the design is wonderful, but with a little extra time the homepage could have served either purpose. I’ve actually already modified it to do what I need. The homepage can be either a category, the blog, or a page and the blog can be put on a separate page. If you’d like to know what I did to modify it I’d be glad to share it.

is there anyway to see other colors? thanks.

Hi man!

Great theme!!

Is there any way to not show the blog posts on the home page? i’d like that page to be static and able to embed a youtube video there. Is this possible??

Thnx

Any thoughts on how i make this page a static page??

Thnx

Hi beyonddesign!

I have another Question…

How can i set up the services page? I created a category “services” and created posts for this category but it doesn’t show up in the navigation nor is there a way to put it in there. I’m doing something wrong please advice!

Thnx

Since I told the creator I’d share what I found, here’s a link to a text file with the changes that I made. You still need to use a category for the carousel, but not for the main content.

Sorry after the Video it all got cleared out for me! But could you give me a piece of advice on how i can get rid of the recent posts on the pages i create? I’d like to replace the recentpost widget area with some other widgets but what ever i do it doesn’t accept my widgets And stays on recent posts. If i set the page to blog archive and then put a widget in blog section it works but then i’ve got an archive beneath my page haha!

Thxn 4 the help!

Hello, I’m really interested in your theme, it’s so beautiful! But I need to know if you’re releasing a new version with the above corrections, as I’ll definitely need to have a proper Home page with some static content on what I do plus your widget for recent blog posts, then a services page and articles pages – with different kinds of widgets from the one you have. As soon as this is corrected, I’ll sure have it! It’s for my psychotherapy site and I need to have a blog in its own page (not home), and the rest just static pages – Home, About Me, My Approach, Services, Articles – somehow split by categories, each article opening in its individual page- and then some Links and Contact. Do you think this theme can work for this? Sorry for the long message, thanks for your help!

Hello, I have purchased it anyway, just trusting that you’ll help make it work for me, as whatever I need, it seems it’s not only me…

Hi! Great theme… I’ve enjoying setting it up. One question. Drop down navigation doesnt’ seem to have been thought about. I have a page with some childs and want to have them as drop downs in the main navigation – I set the page depth to 2 in the navigation – and the childs just appear along side the parent.. no drop down or styling. I’m wondering if you have any plans to update the theme, or provide some code for some styling and integrating drop down menus.

Cheers, Craig

Top template, easy to use and the template developer’s support is exceptional.

I need to figure out how to strip the complicated blog header out of the blog section and, instead, turn it into a simple blog feed. In other words, when a person loads the blog page, I need them to see a simple list of current blogs, rather than a simple list of blogs that are introduced by the complicated blog header. Here’s the page I’m working on:

Can someone help me?

Thanks. Except for the elaborate blog header (which would be fine if there was a way to choose a simpler display option), this is a beautiful theme!

Thanks!

Is there support for Russian language. If no such support, then tell my how difficult it added
