sorry, that was unclear. If i want to set up a magazine type home page layout with 2 or 3 columns of posts, with the most recent post being full width on top – is that something I can do with Writer? (More details of theme options or screen shots would be helpful) Thank you
You could do that with any theme. Writer has a basic grid system built in for creating columns…
thank you, your input is appreciated
note – I really appreciate the elegant simplicity of your theme demo – just not completely sure what I can do under the hood.
Also, as it’s built around my Workless framework, you can use any of that too: http://workless.ikreativ.com/
Thanks for the Good Theme!
However, I have a few questions:
1. How can I disable the Fluid Layout feature? 2. How can I completely remove the Home Slider caption, which layovers on top of the home page image.
Thank you!
From the options panel you can simply add .nivo-caption { display:none!important } to hide the caption.
As for the fluid layout, you’ll need to remove the media queries at the bottom of application.css and just leave the CSS for the width you want to use.
Hello, Thank you for such amazing theme! I’m totally in love with it! But I was wondering if I could apply a stroke border around the main body of the website, if so, how can I do this? I tried to do it in the CSS and stuff but It’s not working.
Thank you!
How do you mean?
I hope this might helps you get the idea, thank you for the response. http://i50.tinypic.com/2vunhqv.png
Yes, use the code provided from the example. Add the divs to header.php and the CSS to application.css
It worked like magic, thank you!
No worries!
Sorry for being annoying but I got one more question, is it possible to make each item in the portfolio linked to each page of its own?
Sure. Open template_portfolio.php and change this:
http://d.pr/i/Lesgto this:
http://d.pr/i/mdcXHello! I am having trouble with the navigation sub menu. For some reason, when I hover over the navigation (see ‘portrait inquiry’ link) the submenu pops up but then it just stays visible after I move off of it and onto other things. I haven’t messed with any of the navigation code so I’m not sure what’s causing it. Can you help?
http://www.birdandbeeweddings.com/kap/I think its this: http://d.pr/i/2jM0
Why add Nivo slider plugin when the theme has Nivo built-in?
I asked several times about restricting the image dimensions and was not able to figure it out with the built-in Nivo. The plugin allows me to crop the images and they don’t zoom in/out which I prefer. I’m not sure what is causing the sub menu to stick still, is there something I could do to fix that or will it do that as long as I have the slider plug in?
Probably, you need to find out how its conflicting, you may be able to fix.
Hi there, I tried switching back to the theme’s slider, commented out the responsive queries in ‘application.css’ and have set the slider size to 700px by 239px. I would like it to be that size and I have uploaded slide images with those exact dimensions. However, you can see here: http://www.birdandbeeweddings.com/kap/ that it’s showing up smaller than it should be and it’s not quite centered even though I set the margins to ‘0 auto.’ Can you please advise?
Open inc/slider.php and modify the size value there too. You’ve also got some weird CSS going on as you’ve got a horizontal scrollbar too: http://d.pr/i/argt
Thanks! That worked!! I’m not sure where that scrollbar is coming from, I don’t see it live so hopefully…it’s gone
The scroll is still there. In Builder go to the custom CSS and add #wrapper { overflow-x: hidden; }
Thanks, for some reason I didn’t see it on my browsers (neither Chrome nor Safari) but I added the code.
Also, I just downloaded the updated file but since I’ve tweaked a lot of the styling, I don’t want to replace all of the files. For the fixed media query bug, would I just need to grab the media query code from ‘application.css’? or somewhere else as well?
Have any of the options on the builder been changed?
Thanks!
Yeah just the media queries section.
Really happy with the theme – looks so good!
I can’t really edit code, so I was wondering – how to get rid of the text below each post: “This article is 709 words long, that’s 4366 characters. It should take you about 3 minutes, 32 seconds to read?”
Also – how to get rid of the date, comments, likes, and views stats? Really want to just strip it down to the post content only.
Thank you!
Open index.php and single.php and remove the includes.
Hi! I’ve run into a few issues while populating this theme. Everything between the top nav and the footer is shifted to the right. Doesn’t seem to be a browser issue and I’ve looked on a mac/PC (both displays 1680px wide)
Only other issue is I’d like to link sliders to featured portfolios but I can’t see any option to change the link to something other than /slider/
Thanks!
Link? The slider links to the custom post type. To link somewhere else you’ll need to modify the theme.
Any advice about what I need to modify specifically?
The site is at love-words.co.uk
You’ll need to check the Wordpress codex regarding linking custom post types to somewhere else.
Any ideas about the body content being shifted to the right?
it’s working fine for me. Will look into it.
I’ve now replicated the issue across 4 machines (mac/pc). Definitely not just a problem at my end.
I think the media query is hitting late.
Thanks, but that means nothing to me. Does this mean you’re looking at fixing it?
Yep! When its done you’ll see an update in Builder.
That’s great, your help is appreciated!
Any idea when you might be able to look at this?
The update has been pushed.
That’s odd, I’m still seeing exactly the same issue. I’ll check from a few different machines tomorrow but I’m pretty sure it’s not a caching issue at my end.
Did you get the latest update? You need to download the latest version from here, updates are not automatic, they just notify you.
Yes I’m up to date, builder now shows 0 available updates. I’ve hard-refreshed but nothing changes.
Hmm strange, all central here: http://d.pr/i/Xqoz
Is that test from a 1680px display? I’ve double-checked on a few machines now and the issue is still there.
Yes.
Open this file: http://love-words.co.uk/wp-content/themes/writer/assets/css/application.css
Scroll right to the bottom and find this section: http://d.pr/i/9H5v
Remove the #content declaration and let me know if that fixes it.
Remove all of this:
#content { width: 1360px; }That fixes the slider alignment, but breaks the portfolio alignment. Columns and header are all over the place.
Grab the latest version.
Not seeing any changes after updating to latest version.
Switch layout from boxed so I can see if its a layout issue or global.
Sorry, I’m abandoning the theme, responsive code is still broken and I’m wasting too much time with this back and forth.
Não era para vim junto com o template os demais arquivos descritos nesse link (http://themeforest.net/licenses/regular_extended)?
Não veio no pacote o slideshow!
OK, it is mentioned about Workless, that “line heights, margins, spacing and more…” can be changed – I don’t mind snipping and tweaking code, but am no master – will I need to be doing that, or are those adjustment intuitive within Writer, or? Cheers
You shouldn’t need to adjust line heights etc… They’re done for you.
well, what I’m after is a layout like http://erudite.somadesign.ca/ – very exacting and exceptionally readable (but with the options Writer has to offer)
You’re good to go then!
coolio
OK, you suggested it would be easy to set up a magazine type home page layout with the most recent post being full width on top and (3) columns of most recent posts below that – but there is scant info in the documentation as to how I would approach this… can you clue me in
Modify index.php and add relevant CSS for the latest posts and sub posts. Use the Wordpress codex for modifying the loop.
That doesn’t help or tell me anything does it – if I knew how to modify php and css I wouldn’t be asking. So you are telling me this theme does not support short codes or any other user friendly means to customize my site? As far as I know, that would be the whole point of using a premium template such as this is advertised to be.
What you want wouldn’t be possible with shortcodes anyway, you need to modify the loop.
what the hell is a loop? You said “You could do that with any theme. Writer has a basic grid system built in for creating columns… your good to go” – I feel mislead. I don’t write code, which is why I purchase templates. I’m sorry, but this one is the most bare bones misrepresented and poorly documented theme I have worked with to date. Not ok.
You can do it, and it’s simple, but honestly, you’re working with Wordpress themes and you don’t know what the loop is?
I don’t see how this is a theme fault, this is basic stuff and is also modification.
Also, just because you don’t know what you’re doing doesn’t mean the theme is misrepresented or poorly documented.
ok, you can do it, it’s simple for you – no doubt, I can do it and it would be simple for me with the support, but I don’t write code. I have set up dozens of beautiful sites with dozens of different themes, and when I am told that what I want to do is simple to set up and you’re good to go, then I assume, like all those other themes, I can achieve what I want by working through the control panel, or else given code support – “Modify index.php and add relevant CSS for the latest posts and sub posts. Use the Wordpress codex for modifying the loop.” does not help me in any way whatsoever, nor is there any significant info in the documentation for creating any customised layout short of writing the code in the 1st place – so what’s the point?
So let me get this straight. You’ve built ‘dozens’ of sites with “dozens” of themes, yet have no idea what the loop is or any basic knowledge of modifying a theme?
Also, I’m going to presume that having built ‘dozens’ of themes, these where for clients who probably paid more than the $35 cost of a theme.
Maybe it’s my fault for ‘presuming’ you had even very basic knowledge of modifying a theme, which is what this is….
Why would the DOCS contain anything on changing the theme from it’s specific role? If that where the case the DOCS would be massive, trying to think of every possible scenario.
As I said, modify index.php to call the latest post in a loop, then the rest of the posts. You can then add the grid styling to them like the DOCS show, one_full, one_half, one_third etc…
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loopok, no worries, i’ll figure it out or let it go as I am clearly on my own with this one. Just not where or how I have needed to spend my time until now. If you have any interest in your customer and want to know what I’m talking about, take a look at the live demo of Polyon to name one example or work with themes like InFocus, Striking, EcoBiz, Alyeska, etc…
This theme looks fantastic, but I’m wondering about the Portfolio section, where you click on the thumbnail photos and a pop-up box appears. Since I’m a writer and want to post articles, not just photos, is it possible to instead link to a (readable-sized) pdf of an article or, preferably, to another page on the website where I post the article? Thanks!
Yes! The theme use prettyPhoto which allows iframe lightboxes and more: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
I’m getting an odd error throughout my site, every page seems to load twice. The page appears, flashes away for a second then loads and stays. I’m not sure if the theme is causing this problem, any ideas what it could be?
Link?
The theme does have a delay loader, so if for some reason it’s slow to load the Javascript then this could cause it. Open js/application.js and look at the top, you’ll see the body onload part, comment that out or remove.
Thanks, that’s solved it. ( http://www.jacobarmitage.co.uk )
Cool
OK. Could you please tell me how to modify the index.php file as you suggest to create a home page layout with the most recent post being full width on top and (3) columns of most recent posts below that – thank you.
Also, I do like the “This article is 106 words long, that’s 630 characters” function, but would like to
a) remove the “characters” element as that not useful information
b) have the data reflect the full article, not just the default excerpt, as that is also misleading/not helpful
c) there is no read more link at the end of the excerpt – a reader has to scroll back up to the title and click it to read the article
Thank you, with your support for these fixes, I will be a happy customer
As I said, you can either add a custom loop like the original to pull in the 1st latest post, then use the default loop to pull through the rest.
Or, using CSS you can simply style the :first-child differently from the rest. So something like.post:first-child { width: 700px; float left; } .post { width: 250px; float: left; }Open inc/reading.php to modify any of the post info stuff. If you want a read more add it in index.php
I want to change the font used in the top navigation. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Open application.css and change the font family for the nav.
That seems easy enough but I do not see the application.css file in the Wordpress Admin Panel, Appearance, Editor sub-panel. Where can I locate this?
Use an FTP client to access files, or add your CSS in the options panel custom css box.
that’s what i thought. I’ll have to get the login access from my client to do so. It would be handy to have those files plus the style.css file included with the theme installation for those that are not savy enough to go the route you mentioned. Just food for thought. Thanks.
You can override any CSS in the custom CSS box in the options panel.
Hi, nice ! is this theme working now for wp 3.5? thanks
Yep!
Any PSDs for this? I am going to buy and modify, but will help if I can use original PSDs to show client how I wanna make it
No PSD, not needed, white background black text…
I do need it though. Is it not possible for me to get hold of one? Even just the homepage would suffice
There is no .PSD, it was fully designed in browser.
Hello,
First thanks for your theme, it is really clean and beautiful. I would like to use your workless templates, I succeed in copying buttons, but I can’t figured out why scattfold layout aren’t working. I would like to put informations in columns but it doesn’t work when I copy this in pages or articles… in text like in code. Could you help me please?
Thank you
Add it in HTML view of a post/page. I.E:
Thank you, it works fine. One more thing please, how do you put multiple images in portfolio as in the demo? I get the layout, but when I insert images in my post, they’re displayed just above, not in gallery. I installed Prettyphoto but should I use Slider? Thanks in advance.
Use the portfolio template with the portfolio custom post type. No need to add prettyPhoto, it is built in.
I bought the theme yesterday, but now I’m not sure I want to use it. It’s listed as responsive, but it’s all wobbly on my phone, meaning that I can push it from side to side. Also, I noticed that it’s off center in Firefox. And it’s not just the demo, I looked up a purchaser’s site and it’s off center too. Are these things going to be remedied? or this just how the theme works?
Link? Screenshot? I can’t fix what I can’t see.
Well, I took a phone picture, but I don’t know how to upload it. Also, the theme doesn’t have a “previous” or “next” post set up, so I have a list of numbers going all the way across the screen, from 1 to 33.
I’ve just pushed an update for the media queries. You’ll get an notification in ‘Builder’ once it’s live.
Yes it uses pagination instead of prev/next as it allows jumping directly to pages instead of clicking through.
This is displayed in the demo, if you’d like prev/next then you can add it.
Oh, and by the way, it crashes when Jetpack is activated.
Then the plugin is conflicting somewhere.
This is a great theme I really love, but I am having an issue that it gives all timthumb.php generated images 404 not found error and the slider doesn’t show any images.
Please help!
Set permissions on inc/cache/
I set the permission to 777 but still no go..
Thats the only thing I could think would cause a 404. Unless it’s your permalinks and/or htaccess.
I just found that the 404 error was from the loading.gif, which is missing from the theme file, but it is actually the 400 bad request error I am getting for the timthumb.php. I contacted my hosting and confirmed that they did not blacklisted the timthumb.php and it seems like the timthumb.php is unable to locate the actual image file it-self. Any idea?
There is no loading gif.
plugins.css
line #2
.nivoSlider { position:relative; background: #fff url(”../img/loading.gif”) no-repeat 50% 50%; }
Ohh, I thought you mean’t a loading gif for timthumb… Grab this and put it in the image directory: http://d.pr/i/6RPt
timthumb is still having issue. All of my images are not being displayed and when I do view source, it references to the timthumb.php and it doesn’t show any due to error code 400.
Link?
I actually edited the slider.php and decide to display images as is instead of having the resize feature to generate the resized image through the timthumb.php .
Thank you.
How can I disable the response (fluid layout) feature?
It’s responsive. The only way to remove would be to remove the media queries from the bottom of application.css and set static widths.
