header in Lukoo

  • I just switched ( testing still) over to the lukoo WP theme. I like the look-feel of the them, but when I tried to import my old banner-header onto the page, it is tiny… like a thumbnail. I have no idea why it would be this small, or what I need to do to make it fit the page, as there aren’t any edit options…

    btw- is using a theme that hasn’t been updated in a while.. a big issue?

    also- this search for a new theme started for two reasons.. 1 being.. I was hoping to find a theme that would be easier ( meaning i can figure it out) how to remove sidebars from ONE page ( not a post, a page).. suggestions on this also welcome

    thanks

  • Yes, it’s likely that theme will have problems – not recommended to use outdated and unsupported themes.

    hi there,

    Are there any themes that are similar in look-feel to this, that you might recommend, that are user-friendly to the non-coder? i saw some sites done with suffusion that were really nice.. but in looking at it, knew it was beyond my abilities:)

    really bummed- because i did like the way the preview, live-test looked…

    thanks

    Teri

    Yeah, that’s always a bummer when “the” theme you want won’t work. But check out Suffusion – it has TONS of built-in options, including many layouts, and the developer provides amazing dedicated support – so that might be a good solution for you.

    i think suffusion needed more savvy than I might have at this point. seemed like it needed someone to kind of set it up, before I’d be ready to make it do anything… i def got overwhelmed by it. I installed it in a test folder thinking I would play with it and figure it out…

    re the lukoo- if it ” works for me for now” while I figure something out– since prior, was using paramitopa, and somehow thinking that isn’t updated or supported either, yesno?– maybe for what I want… support isn’t as critical right now…

    and yea- it def sucks when you go.. nice look.. i’m screwed:)

    am also testing home-page rather than blog as landing page.. but yea.. https://beingherd.com if you know a theme that will allow a similar colour look feel. I really LIKED the suffusion engine and what people had been able to do with it.. but it’s not something you get up and running quickly. not plug n play, point n click.. so much:)

    all i orig wanted, was to get the sidebar OFF the buy the book page ( and the buy chaga page) as sidebars take up real estate and distract from that nice shiny BUY button:) couldnt figure out how to do it noway nohow.. and the one explanation i did find.. seemed waayyyy over complicated, needing to FTP the site onto computer and insert code etc…

    I can insert some simple code/ scripts, if I know where they need to go– but this was beyond what i wanted to wrestle with:)

    thanks again

    Teri

    What about twentyten?

    yea- that is one I have installed as a “possible”… b ut when i do a live preview and see no widgets.. my brain just said ouch.. this is going to be work and hurt figuring it out.. right now my brain i ssooo saturated, trying to figure this out, without making any real progress.. that it is now in.. KIS…. mode… which is not necesarrily where I like it to be.. but have hit the frustration factor multiple times, spent more time that should have been needed on things like.. why can’t-wont the banner show full sized in lukoo… kind of things.. that i’d at least like to lose a minimum of what is already set up:)

    thanks..

    Widgets typically have to be reset in any new theme (theme options/settings aren’t carried over).

    Maybe not what you are looking for, but here’s a highly simple theme I am working on that may be of interest to you: https://codingbean.com/?page_id=255. It should be on the WordPress Free Themes Directory within a few days…

    btw- do I assume that the widgets ARE on the dashboard.. that there is a “crossover” and that i do not need to build NEW widgets with each new theme? the old ones exist and I would just need to rebuild the side-bar…. if its just rebuilding the sidebar.. i could suck that up… if its rebuilding the widgets… my brain might do something ugly:)

    thanks a lot

    appreciated. truly

    Teri

    Hmm… It looks like they allow widgets in the footer for Cafiko.

    Widgets are theme-specific – you have to redo them in a new theme.

    Cafiko has widgets in a sidebar as well.

    okay- creepy factor. activated cafiko(?) theme.. which had no widgets.. but on the dashboard page, go to widgets.. sidebar lists them ALL.. it shows ALL the widgets, in order etc… soo..

    where are the widgets….?

    Hmm… It could be an error on the part of the developer if they forgot to disable the ability to add widgets in an update: AKA, if they used Twenty Twelve as a parent theme and did not disable the feature. But this is probably not the case. It may just be a problem with browser caching or your WordPress server install. ??
