Make sure it’s at least 1920px wide / 500px high. The height depends on weather what elements you’re displaying in the featured area. Hope this helps!

Could you try activating and deactivating it again? If that doesn’t help pls create a dummy account for me and send it to support@themestation.net. I’ll take a closer look. Sorry about the inconvencience.

To your first and second question: to change the colors or hide elements you will have to make your own customizations. Please use the child theme when doing this, so your changes aren’t overwritten during and update.

For your third question: you can activate the excerpt section in the theme options. This way an excerpt of your featured post will be displayed below the post.

A photo added to the featured episode must be customized.

Changing the text “from the blog” to something else, must be customized.

I hope this answers your questions!

Which files will I need to edit to make the customizations? Can you tell me which lines of code will need to be amended?

Simply write the css declarations you would like to overwrite into the css file of your child theme. If you would like to edit a different file, simply copy the file you would like to override into the child theme folder and edit it.

For the edits you’re talking about, you would have to make css customizations as well as customizations to the front-page.php.

You can find out more about child themes here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

When I checked earlier today, the theme was version at 1.3.3. You have now updated it to 1.3.5 and the error with the plugin is no longer there. Your feed can be found under http://thequantifiedbody.net/?feed=podcast If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Well the version of the Themecaster Feed Plugin has been updated to 1.0.6 since this morning when I last tried to fix it. I had upgraded to 1.3.5 and as I said this did not fix the themecaster feed plugin which has been the issue since this started. I guess you logged in and upgraded it?

In any case, all I care is that it is working now – and it is – so thanks. For everyone listening, make sure your themecaster feed plugin is version 1.0.6 if you get problems with it.

I actually refrained from making the theme update myself because I was not aware if you had made any customizations to the theme files which you might have wanted to secure before updating. When I logged in later on, the theme was updated. The importand thing was that both, the theme and plugin needed to be updated.

The thing about RSS feeds (and this is a general thing) is that they do not refresh unless you make changes to a post within that RSS feed. So if a structural change has been made to the code for example, simply refreshing the browser won’t show the change immediately. The feed cache needs to be flushed and the easiest way of doing so is my editing and saving a post. Maybe this is what made the change visible, I cannot tell. Anyway, I’m glad it’s working again. Sorry about that.

Yes, you can seperate your podcast posts from your blog posts by using a category for your podcast posts. You can even hide your podcast posts from the blog if you like to.

Thanks, I am having trouble installing this.

I get the below error message

“Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-6804946-podcaster-multimedia-wordpress-theme.zip Note: You’re using the temporary domain 693.99f.myftpupload.com. Change domain Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed. ” I tried googling and there were a few other poeple with the same problem. There was a suggestion to copy the css file into the same folder as the zip file before uploading but that didn’t work.

This is my third failed attempt I have made at uploading a theme to Wordpress and makes me feel stupid.

I have an hosting account purchased at Godaddy with Wordpress support

Please unzip the file you download from themeforest. The file to be intsalled is simply called podcaster.zip and found within the file downlaoded from themeforest.

Answered your email!

To Question 1: Yes, exactly.

Question 2: That is up to you entirely, but I’d recommend using Libsyn, since that is where you are hosting your audio files and managing your podcast from. We’re currently trying to find a smoother way of supporting services like Libsyn, but for now this is the only way.

I hope this answers your questions.

Hi there,

There are three different widget areas, for the blog, single blog posts and pages. Make sure you’ve put the right widgets in the widget areas, this is what might be causing the issue.

Yes, all of the right widgets are correct. The problem is that sometimes the website doesn’t show the areas that i have specified, including the podcasts in the front page: http://www.theconversationpod.com/

All of the backend stuff is correct, including choosing the correct category for the podcasts archive, which is what should be showing on the home page.

The widgets are also done correctly but they’re still not showing up.

I wrote you and email before seeing this answer. Please disregard that message. Could you instead make a dummy account so I can take a closer look at what is happening? Send the info to support@themestation.net Thanks

Unfortunately we do not offer customisations (yet), so if you would like to make changes to the theme, that go beyond the theme options, I cannot help. If you give me a little more detail about what you want to do, I might be able to give some pointers, though.

I just want a button at the bottom of the home page that says “next” or “previous” to show to show the next or previous podcasts like how you have it on the blog.

I’d advise you to create a podcast archive page which displays all the episodes of your podcast. Then activate the button on the front page by going to Theme Options > Podcasting Settings > Podcast Archive Button and pasting the URL of your Podcast archive page.

Could you try deactivating and then activating it again?

I have answered your email, if you still have question just let me know. WordPress can have a steep learning curve, but once you get through it, you’ll love it!

Thank you for the reply. I sent a clarification question back but hopefully I should be able to figure it out from there. I can’t wait for my site to look as good as the demo!

Answered by email!

Thanks, keep me posted.

May I ask what method you used t get the share buttons there? A plugin or some other way? Thanks!

Jetpack. I’ve sent them a copy of the theme and they’re actually looking into it.

You will have to post the audio on WordPress as well in that case. If you have a direct URL to your audio files hosted at Libysn, just simply use that one. We’re still working on better integration with services such as Libsyn.

So, where can I post the URL so it will show up in the header? Thanks!

When creating a post, make sure you choose the audio post format. A box will appear at the bottom of the screen, past the URL to the track there.

Also, make sure you’ve created and set (in the theme options) the category for your audio posts. It should appear on the front page now.

Hi there, one question: have you selected the category for your podcast already. Currently working on a fix and I need to know why this is happening in your case. Also: what plugins are you using? Thanks.

WP 4.0 and v1.0.3 of the plugin.

Just downloaded it from here on Friday

Could you create a dummy account for me so I can take a closer look at what is happening? Please send the info to support@themestation.net Sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems to be only on the front page and blog page

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll take a look at it.

Will look into it, thanks for the feedback!

Hi there,

Please update the theme as well. This should solve the issue.

Thanks. Can you give me an idea about how to do that? I can’t access the admin page.

If you can’t access the admin, please update the theme through FTP. You’ll have to download and unzip the theme files, then delete the current ones. Once you’ve deleted the old ones, upload the new files. You should be able to access your admin again now. More information on FTP installation can be found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes#Adding_New_Themes_Manually_.28FTP.29 I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Fixed the other one two. Apparently there was a missing ‘thstlang’ in the comments.php, right after the string.

too*

I’ll take a look at this. Thanks!
