But the excerpt itself is not there. Title of the category only, and then thubnail and article title.. And under the category all I see is a huge empty spot.
SOS!
The first problem I had was that the thumbnails were not showing up, and thanks to neononcon on a previous thread, I was able to fix this problem by adding add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
to “functions.php” then making sure each category box was retrieving the correct photo.
Now I have thumbnails on my homepage, and each thumbnail is shown on the homepage, but depending on where the thumbnail is in each “Featured Category” box, the Theme shifts and molds the image. Because each Category box changes with a new post (thus each thumbnail changes its position in the box), the photo shifts and molds again to fill the new position. A thumbnail will look great in one position, but horrible in another.
To solve this problem, I think I would just like to set every thumbnail position in the “Featured Categories” boxes to the same size (or maybe set the theme to crop the thumbnail instead of resize it?). I’m new to PHP, so this seems a bit confusing to me. How would I go about doing this kind of an edit?
And here is a picture of the problem that I’m having, I thought some visual reference would help: https://twitpic.com/2832cd

]]>Right in index.php the first lines of code are:
<?php
if(get_option($themeoptionsprefix.'_sidebarpos') == 1) {get_sidebar();}
if(get_option($themeoptionsprefix.'_sidebarpos') != 2 || get_option($themeoptionsprefix.'_sidebarpos') != 1) {get_sidebar();} ?>
The second statement alone – if it’s not 2 OR if it’s not 1 – well, isn’t that always true, no matter what? What’s the purpose of this here?
And together with statement one, you get something like:
Get sidebar if sidebarpos is 1.
But also if it’s not 1.
Oh, and if it’s not 2.
Isn’t that completely redundant?
Thing is I’m not a PHP or WP expert, so I’d like to know whether there is some deeper purpose behind it that I just can’t see, or whether it’s just sloppy code.
]]>Anyway, I embeded one of my Flickr pictures and while it shows fine in the post, it shows a broken image icon on the homepage. The image address of that icon is
https://example.com/blogfiles/themes/news-magazine-theme-640/cropper.php?src=farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/1111111111_1111111111.jpg&h=142&w=200&zc=1&q=95
and it produces the error:
farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/1111111111_1111111111.jpg not found.
(The real image doesn’t have all 1s, I replaced that for privacy here. This link with all the 1s doesn’t work, the one it actually complained about in the error does.)
I noticed it does work when I copy the image to my WP uploads folder and link it from there, but it would be nice if I could save that step and use my Flickr pics directly.
Also, is there some documentation as to how this cropper.php works – how it chooses where to crop, how I can control it, whether it crops at all if the image is already the right size, etc.? And what is the right size for the various thumbnails used throughout thr theme? Finally, are these thubnails recreated again and again at every pageview (server killer!!) or are they saved somewhere after the first hit?
]]>‘Show/Hide RSS Subscribe block’ is selected to show by default, I also added some text to
Header for Sidebar Subscribe Block
Subtext for rss subscribe block
Subscribe Link Text
but there’s nothing visible on a blog itself, no RSS feed.
How can visitors to subscribe to my blog RSS if they don’t see that option anywhere?
Would be great if you could help. thanks!
Thankyou in advance!
