Can you tell me why your themes use lot of MySql queries…It is ok that wp themes use up to 40 queries..but your use min 50 to 90..that is too mush if you have high traffic site. Can you fix that somehow?

Fantastic theme…Great Job!
I installed it and the carousel worked for a minute, then I added more content and it stopped working. I deactivated all plugins… still nothing. Image do not show. As well as feature content. I added custom image location with full URL as indicated and instead of displaying thumbnails, it displayed the link of the post. looks like script is not processing image. How to reset script? Need help :p Best.

Front page is widgetized so you’ll need to set up front widgets as well.
Nikhil Pai

Actually the problem is that the sidebar widget cannot be seen on the front page. Since I have added Twitter widget to the sidebar, it only displays it on the inner pages. There is no way to re-add the Twitter widget to the front widgets since it is already added to the sidebar widget.

Hi, thanks so much for your great theme.
I’m planning to switch to it very soon and testing it now locally.
I’m abit confused with the widgets areas.
You’ve got:
1. Invisible Widget Area
2. Sidebar
3. Front 1
4. Front 2
5. Front 3
What I understood was, the “Front 1, 2, 3″ widgets will show up at the “Front Widgets” area at the bottom of home page and “Sidebar” widget will display on individual post page sidebar. I’m not quite sure what’s “Invisible Widget Area” use for.
When I actually tried those out, the “Front Widgets” area displays the contents of “Sidebar” “Front 1″ and “Front 2″ widgets.
The “Invisible Widget Area” displays on the post pages sidebar.
But where is “Front 3″ widget content display at? I can’t seem to find it display anywhere on the site at all.
So, could you explain abit more on each widget area and their display places please.
Thanks again for all your great work.

Hey Željan Topić, fantastic job on the theme. I’m really hoping I can make a few adjustments and use it for my news website, CivSource. I was wondering, however, if there were a few changes I could offer.
I’ve been looking to make the “most popular post” box display the entire headline without the [...] and more generally, do away with the [...] all together – is this possible?
Also, and more pressingly, is it possible to show publish dates next to other headlines (not just the featured post?)
Thanks for any help and keep up the great work!
Jeff
Željan Topić

Theme wasn’t designed to feature full post content on front as it wouldn’t fit the screen. However you may edit length of charcaters included in post excerpt … Dates can be published alogside other posts on front – edit the widget accordigly.

Dear Željan Topić. When adding pictures, I put the alignment right, left, center, but when you add them flush right.
In the admin menu, they look normal, correct, but the photo on the site right justified.

img.aligncenter, img.center { display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; clear: both; }.Jason

I’ve done enough to change colors and a few other items and think it’s absolutely gorgeous, and much better than the one I purchased! However, I’m one of those people who needs small words and detailed information on how to do some of these things, especially in generating the carousels.

Hello Željan
I have installed your PurE Magazine theme on my News website and it looks great. I do know that PURE MAGAZINE THEME comes with its own SEO. I have a SEO plugin of my own “Platinum SEO” however when i activate it, the images on the homepage dissapears. The two SEOs seems to be clashing. Is there a way to remove the PURE MAGAZINE SEO so the plugin can run as my main SEO?

Hi,
I decided to investigate teh problem.
Turns out that both the category nav and top nav had the same z-index of ’1000′ and the the solution was as simple as adding this line to the custom.css styleshett:
#pagenav li:hover ul, #pagenav li.sfhover1 ul { left: auto; z-index:1001; }
as in..
#pagenav li:hover ul, #pagenav li.sfhover1 ul { left: auto; z-index:1001; }I hope it helps someone or that it can be fixed in the source package.
Cheers.

Hello I am using your theme and want to thank you for the time spent creating it and all the fun features available.
I had a quick question though. I am trying to edit your featured.php to get the featured post on every category page for the category that is being displayed. I got the featured post to be displayed on the category page but it is still just showing me the same featured post not the one for the specific category being displayed. Is there a way to accomplish this (I know there is) ,thought i may ask before i mess things up,
Thanks in advance,
