Hi, This is a really beautiful theme! I’m having trouble with the thumb.php. In the Main Index template, is this the code that call timThumb and creates the thumbnails for the front page?:
//<a title=”Link to ” href=””><img src=”/thumb.php?src=ID, “image”, $single = true); ?>&h=&w=&zc=1&q=80″ alt=”” class=”fll” style=”margin-top:5px;” /> //
I put this code in comment slashes in case it need it for this post! Is there a problem here in the code? It’s not creating thumbnails for the front page. I have the same problem in Intuit type…

@Jeff – you’re probably not inserting image url code correctly,…go through theme support guide bundled in theme options (at top).
If you don’t find answers to your issues give me admin access and I’ll fix it (of course send login details to mail not here =).

Zeljan,
I did read the support guide, but I’ll be damned if I can fine where the “Custom Field” is. I’m not seeing it when I upload the image nor when I edit it. I see the link URL and can copy it, but I see no Custom field…
Željan Topić

@Jeff – It looks sth like this http://justintadlock.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/custom-fields.gif
…still not findig what you’re looking for? read my previous comment and hit me with a mail 😉

Zeljan,
I know what it looks like from your tutorial… I don’t know where it is found because I am NOT finding it in the dialogue I see when I am uploading. inserting/editing a picture in a post. Am I supposed to be seeing it at that point… or is the custom field accessed elsewhere?
I need to know how to do this so I don;t want you to have to login and do it… thanks, though!
Željan Topić
17 years ago
@Jeff – than you probably don’t have Custom Fields option checked in post Screen Options … still it’s hard to tell as I don’t know what’s the actual problem just from your description.

Can you do a screen capture of the entire widow where you are seeing the screen options? That might tell me where I should see it…

I finally figured it out! It includes several steps … just as I feared so it’s a good thing I worked through it and now understand it. I’m a do it yourself kind of guy… nothing personal. Thanks for a great template! Looks really nice! I hope it brings you success!

Hi Zeljan,
Just for your information… the categories stopped appearing in the top menu. Instead, I see “Home” and “No Categories”. I changed to using your very nice Igloo News, though… so this is just for your info!
Jeff

@Jeff – That’s not likely the error because of IsoTherm News theme, it probably has sth to do with your MySQl DB (If you’re testing it on your localhost restart MySQL instances).

Hi,
I’m also having the same problem as Jeff above with the category shifting back to the main page after 7 posts to the category are up. You can no longer see the other six posts. If you remove one post from the category everything is back to normal.
Angelo
Željan Topić
17 years ago
When you have 6 posts or less posts are listed as a list, after 7 posts or more, last 6 of them are shown in featured box, 7+ are shown in a list.
It sounds complicated but if your blog shows otherwise please give a link to category where problem occurs.
Angelo

Duhhh… thanks it’s fine.
I do have another issue with a plugin I use on other wordpress themes that works fine. But it doesn’t work well on this theme on different browsers. Good on IE, but not so good on Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari.
The plugin is an Event Calendar at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-calendar/
Wonderful event calendar and I need it for this blog or magazine. Can you my page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-calendar/ on different browsers please and comment.

Zeljan,
It’s on my server account … and my ISP (GoDaddy) handles all the installations so I think I’m out of luck! I’m also not very knowledgeable on using MySQL… I’ll have to look and see if I can do that myself without asking them to. Thanks for the reply!

@Jeff – I’m quite like you, I rather do sth myself, rather than wait for others to help – but it’s not always the easiest path 😉

Željan Topić

@Rob – I ques you have the same problem as @Jeff : it probably has sth to do with your MySQl DB (If you’re testing it on your localhost restart MySQL instances).
If that is not the case I would really appreciate if you give me admin access so that I can digg myself into it and maybe discover a bug if there is one.
Rob
17 years ago
The pictures are working fine. Two items there you might add to the instructions: 1. images must be .jpg, not .png and 2. the link must be local (i.e. /images/file.jpg) With those two variables fixed, it works great.
The CATEGORIES section is the remaining issue. If you think access to the site would help, pls advise how I can send it to you w/o publishing it for the world to see.
Thanks in advance for your help.

@Beto – I suggest you to disable thumbnail images in single.php file, delete code between lines 55 and 65 and custom filed images will not appear on single page.

There is no explanation on how to get the thumbnails to work on the main page… extremely frustrating.. With the thumbnails being one of the most enticing things about this theme I would suggest making ALL documentation on how to get the thumbnails working be readily available.
I have read all info and I cannot find one thing regarding HOW TO get the thumbs to actually work… no step by step instructions…
I read the support guide:::
_______________________
**** Featured Post Box ****
> Featured posts box is there by default and it takes a lot of discipline from aouthor to
upload image for every post they publish. If you consider yourself so disciplined to
paste an image for every post you’ll publish than leave it,…however you may hide
featured box if you want
> If you decide to hide featured post box your posts will be displayed normally in one or
two columns (as defined below).
__________________________
Nothing there to tell me anything….
Like I said since the thumbnail image for the post is one of the most enticing things about this them then it would help to have the instructions laid out step by step… I do not see this anywhere… UNLESS…. I missed it… if so point me to the instructions on how to get the images to show up……
THANKS… GREAT THEME…
ElectricBill

OK.. here ya go… I didn’t find this anywhere I just LUCKED INTO IT…..
I created a custom field in the EDIT POST section…
I named that field — image —–
in the IMAGE VALUE section I put the URL to the photo….
SAVED the post and VIOLA…. image is in the thumbnail section on the main page…
Željan Topić

Yeah, you did exactly what theme support guide says so 😉 – it’s on the top of manual (Auto Image Resizing).
Maybe it is a bit confusing because you jumped to to Featured Post Box, my mistake

ElectricBill

What line of the Support Guide file gives instructions on how to do that…???
I looked at it again and didn’t see anything regarding the thumbnails accept what I posted above…
ElectricBill
17 years ago
Yep that is exactly what I did… since that is the FEATURED POST IMAGE… I thought it would be in the FEATURED POST BOX instructions…
If I may make a suggestion on the Support Guide… You may want to combine those two entries… because it is very confusing to have two different entries for one feature.
GREAT THEME…. and it is looking a lot better with the images showing up….
THANK YOU….!!!!!

Željan Topić

Of course, if you’re familiar with Wordpress you’ll have no troubles, but in other case open theme files and play around a bit.
Top header background is x-repeated image you can find in skins->bgr-default.png. Open it and change colors to suit your needs 😉

Hi Zeljan,
I got it to work with your help… thanks! I am seeing something odd when I view it with IE 7 and IE 8, though, so thought I’d let you know. The articles on the front page are not displayed correctly… I have the options set to display two articles but they are displaying as single column and the text is too large. It looks fine in Firefox and Safari though. I’m using your other theme, IglooNews… I’m kinda torn on which I like best!

Hi Zeljan,
Same problem as Jeff, when I view my site through IE7 and IE8 the text in the ‘Also in the News’ section and the Calendar is at point 14 maybe 18 and is single column. I’ve looked at the demo site in these browsers and it looks OK. My site is grapevine.org if you need to see it.

Dear Željan,
I have done as per support file. I have posted a youtube video using the custom field “video” but they are not appearing. Instead, it is just showing the URL. You can see the site name in email address. Take a look and see what is going wrong.

HI, did you found the categories, problem?
Can anyone tell me what’s the problem? It’s a WP problem?
Željan Topić
17 years ago
Most usually the problem is if you exclude default ‘Uncategorized’ category, WP doesn’t allow that so it erases all remaining categories – so don’t exclude default category, maybe raname it to ‘General’ or sth

Wow. This theme is outstanding. The options page is the most impressive I’ve seen. No where to make a donation to you?
In the future I’d be interested in creating another widgetized footer below footer 1 and 2. I would like it to be the width and height of footer 1 and 2 combined. I know there is technically a footer below 1 and 2 (with a link and copyright) but I’d rather not play around with that being that I’m new to Wordpress. I realize that’s a bit of work and I’d be willing to pay or donate for the support / code.
Anyway, just wondering if that’s possible. Look forward to hearing from you. Again let me know if there is a way to support this theme or Bizzartic. I’ve been scouring the web for weeks and this is the best wordpress magazine theme (in my opinion). Many thanks.
Željan Topić
17 years ago
Tnx for kind regards,…I don’t like donations but if you feel a need to support my work your comment did the work, of course I wouldn’t bother if you spread the word around a bit 😉
Regarding my commercial ativities with WP themes – I only sell themes to clients to sell them further and that’s it – I’m not much of a sales person so I rather leave it to professionals.
Please contact me on my mail regarding your customization.

Just like to add my thanks to Zeljan not only for a great theme but also some pretty splendid support.
I have, however, noticed a couple of issues that only seem present in IE 8 and Firefox 3.0.8 for PC. Versions 6 and 7 of IE seem OK as does MAC version of Firefox and Safari.
The following items do not display in the above browsers:-
Banner Ad 250×250 – Iso → Ad 250×250 wiget
Banner Ad 468×60

Hi Zeljan!
I am using your theme and it’s really good. One of the best in whole net. I loved it, but I have some questions because I don’t know how to do what i want to do 🙂 I hope that you will help me.
1. How to link category to external link? ( I would like to make category “Forum” and link it to my forum page.
2. Is possible to link category with single page only? I would like to have one category without post, with one page only or single, whole page post.
3. How to change post date details? I have translated this theme to polish but everytime when I make a post shows date in english ex: April 25, 2009
Many thanks 🙂

There is no easy way of doing this,…you’ll have to digg yourself into code and play with it,..just a hint – add static link in categry menu you’ll find in header.php file,…date details can be changed in single.php file (browse php date formats to find which suits you best).

I need help for this please. I have tried hard for days to figure this out to no avail. When I am viewing a single post, the right side bar does not display in the right position, instead it is displayed below the post so user has to scroll all the way down to see that there is a right side bar. Please take a look at this page: http://hilltopbuzz.com/?p=59
Please help anybody. What modifications can I make to make the side bar display in the proper position? I am using chrome and IE 8 and they both have the same problem. I modified the width of the comments box to see if that was the issue but that did not work so I reset the page as it was. Please help!!!

It somehow happened that you or one of your plugins added aditional /div element so page class closes after comments and sidebar doesn’t slip in. Give me admin access and I’ll fix it or play with it yourself.
