Hi primarycolor,

It’s strange. I never see the issue before. Does the issue caused by the plugin you install?

Can you give me a permission to your wordpress admin panel?

Thanks for the compliments.

KaptinLin

kaptinlin,

Not a problem anymore. Found solution in earlier post. I had previously changed permissions on timthumb,php file to 777. When I changed it to 755, the images all reappeared.

Appreciate timely response. Keep up the great work.

Thanks.

Great!

Hi RMK ,

For the questions.

1) You can warp the pricing table to a div with class ‘pricing’

<div class="pricing">
PRICING TABLE CODE HERE
</div>

.pricing .one_fourth {
  width:23.5%;
  margin-right:2%;
}

2) You can use img tag in the table.

<td><img src="You_icon_src" height="20" width="20" /></td>

Hi Brian,

Glad you love it.

For the question.

If you want use an image in the feature bar of the homepage. You can follow the steps below:

1) Create a new page, we can call it Home

2) Choose ‘Header Introduce Type’ to ‘Custom text’

3) Add the image code to the ‘Custom Header Introduce Text’ textarea

<img src="YOUR_IMAGE_SRC" height="440" width="960" />

4) Add the homepage content you want to show on the content editor of the page.

5) Go to ‘Striking’ -> ‘Homepage’ option page. Choose ‘Home page’ With the page we just created.

6) You may go to ‘Striking’ -> ‘General’ option page to enable Wordpress built-in menu. Then go to ‘Appearance’->‘Menus’ to config the menu.

For the smaller in height of blog post on the home page.

You may edit on ‘striking/home.php’

Add the code below to line 2

global $theme_options;
$theme_options['blog']['fixed_height'] = '200';

Hi Kap,

Thanks for this – i’ve added a background image to the custom css – but adding an image that overlays my background using the feature header functionality within the page which you’ve mentioned seems to have broken the formatting of the text below it (i’ve aligned the image to the left which is causing the text below the feature section to wrap around it. See www.scrambledsnake.com to see what I mean. I was expecting the feature section to extend down to the bottom of my added image – is there something I can do to rectify?

Thanks!

Brian.

Hi Bireland,

Add custom css code below to ‘striking’->‘general’ option page will fix this.

#introduce {
 overflow: hidden;
}

KaptinLin

Hi,

You can use image for feature bar by using custom css code below in ‘striking’->‘general’ option page.

#feature { 
    background: url("YOUR_BACKGROUND_SRC") no-repeat scroll 50% 0 transparent; 
}

Hi,

You can search a plugin for this.

Hi Nojule,

I see you using slidedeck plugin. That will slow down the speed. Also conflict with the combine js option.

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi RMK ,

Do you mean you want the header introduce space only show the post title.

The other items like category name and date etc will show on the white page area?

Regards,
KaptinLin

If its at all possible, yes. But I was able to find an interim fix by making some changes in the theme’s Blog preference section. My problem is that I have a site with over 1,000 articles published in the past 2 years and every post’s title starts with the date and then the title (i.e. “JANUARY 21, 2010: TITLE OF POST ”)...so it was showing a lot of repeated text between the header introduce section and the white area below. Which creates another problem: every single post has at least 1 image in it. Is there a way to have images associated with a category automatically be part of a gallery or portfolio? Or do I have to add each image individually in order to create a gallery or portfolio?

Hi RMK ,

You can edit on ‘striking/framework/helpers/themeGenerator.php’

Locate line 115,

return $this->introduce($blog_page_id);

$title = get_the_title($post_id);

Then edit on ‘single.php’ file.

Locate line 30,

<h1><a href="<?php echo get_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf( __("Permanent Link to %s", 'striking_front'), get_the_title() ); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

Remove or comment it.

After done, go to ‘striking’->‘blog’ option page. Disable ‘Show in Header Area’ option.

Hope this will help you.

For the images, i don’t know exactly about that. Maybe you can give me your website link?

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi Nojule,

Can you send me your website link?

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi Steve,

Thanks, Glad you love it.

I notice your navigation have a gap between the top menu and sub menu. You can use

Cufon.replace("#navigation a", {fontFamily : "PT Sans Narrow", color: '-linear-gradient(#333, black)'});

for the navigation replacement.

For the featured image in single blog, i will add a option to make it float to left in the next release.

For the related posts, it base on the same tags the post have. It’s not so intelligent.

Btw, I love what you have done! Do you want to share your website to my showcase? If so, that would be highly appreciated!

Regards,
KaptinLin

KaptinLin,

I tried the Cufon fix, but it still has a space .

I’d love to share my website on your showcase, how I go about it?

Thanks I’m looking forward to the next release. It would be idea if the float size was configurable, though a sane default would also work well.

I wonder if it would be possible to swap out that widget for the YARPP plugin.

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

Cufon.replace("#navigation", {fontFamily : "PT Sans Narrow", color: '-linear-gradient(#333, black)'});

You can email me ( Kaptinlin@gmail.com ) your info that appear in the showpage. I will add it later. Much thanks to your hard work and your kindness.

For the related posts plugin, i think it’s possible to do that. You can look at the code in ‘striking/single.php’ line 44. Also ‘striking/framework/helpers/themeGenerator.php’ line 355.

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi Nojule,

There is a option to combine the js files in ‘striking’->‘advance’ option page.

I think that will speed up the site in some degree.

Also you can try wp super cache or other cache plugin for wordpress.

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi,

For the menu, You can use wordpress built-in menu.

First, go to “Striking”->”General” subpanel to enable this.

Then, go to “Appearance”->‘Menus’ subpanel to configure the menu.

On the top of the page, you will see ‘Screen Options’ button. Click it. Then checked the ‘CSS Classes’ option.

Then you can add a class for the menu item.

If you want give a menu a colour, just give it a class like ‘menu_color_orange’.

Then add custom css code to ‘striking’->‘general’ option.

#navigation ul li.menu_color_orange a, {
color:#CC9900;
}

You can lean more from the http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_SubPanel

For the contact form, you can look http://kaptinlin.com/support/discussion/comment/1302/#Comment_1302 first.

If not works, please check your host SMTP settings. Or you can try some plugin to help do this.

Like Configure SMTP .

KaptinLin

Yes,

You can use custom css code below in ‘striking’->‘general’ option page.

#feature {

Hi,

You may use recent_posts and column shortcode for that

[one_half]
<h3>Category Name 1</h3>
[recent_posts count="5" thumbnail="true" extra="time" desc_length="80" cat="1"]
[/one_half]

[one_half_last]
<h3>Category Name 2</h3>
[recent_posts count="5" thumbnail="true" extra="time" desc_length="80" cat="2"]
[/one_half_last]

Hope this make sense.

Regards,
KaptinLin

woah, that was nice.

Thank you very much!

It work perfectly on my blog.

Hi Shariart,

Not sure what you have done.

Just use css code for that.

If you want the effort as your screenshot, you can use the custom css code below:

#header .inner {
    background: url("../images/YOUR_IMAGE_SRC.png") no-repeat scroll 50% 0 transparent;
}

Regards,
KaptinLin

Hi Shariart,

You can use Custom css code for that

#header{
    background: url("../images/YOUR_IMAGE_SRC.png") no-repeat scroll 50% 0 transparent;
}

Hi sweetph,
