Bright page 1.5 image upload

Did a quick test on something i was wondering about:

in “settings” > “reading” i changed the “Front page displays” from “Your latest posts” to “A static page (select below)” and chose a static page from the dropdown menu and saved changes. It made the slider not show. So check if ur useing the default “Your latest posts” or a static page. Switch it and see if slider shows up!

I might not be able to show on the NON default home page. (just a thought)

Good Luck

WOW it was the static page that was making it not work for me. tricky little theme. However, its not gonna be as useful this way, since mine had a static page. Thought a workaround could be to leave the settings with “Latest posts” as default home page, and limit it to one post per page,so the latest post would act as my homepage, but its summarizes your post if into a paragraph with “read more..” at the end and removes formatting.
Thanks again for the help, this was driving me crazy.

Caan u set the home to show just 1 post and make it “sticky” so it will be on the top (home). It is under “visibility” in the publish section of edit page.
…**update:

try this: in file – post-excerpt.php (MAKE A BACK_UP COPY!)remove these 2 lines:

1-
<?php the_post_thumbnail(‘post-image’, array(‘class’ => ‘imgthumb’)); ?>
This line would have put a second thum image.

(down a bit on page)

2-
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
This is what was making it an excerpt so it will fall back to show the whole post.

This will prob stop any/all excerpts from showing anywhere on the site!
This a a quick fix so pls test it out in all ways to make sure it dont break something else i did not see. That is why it is good to have the original file to put it back to the way it was if it fails.

good luck!

Mr. GiveSuccess,

You sir could not have picked a better user name. Got the slider working. Think it had something to do with making a second phantom category. I am forever grateful. TYVM ??

Thanks so much…I feel like I accomplished something today! Now if anyone else has similar prob they can read this all.

So If the admins accounts are not needed then i will delete them 2marro eve unless someone needs?

I’m good, go ahead and delete them probably to be on the safe side. All the best and I’ll be sure to pay this selfless act forward when I’m called upon. ??

Ok then i will…what is your site so i/wee can check it out!

tried taking those 2 lines of code out, but looks like removing the excerpt code didnt make it fall back to the whole post, but instead doesnt show the post, just the post title. i’ll keep trying. Either way you are a gentleman and a scholar!

I took them out and it shows full on my demo site!
https://cellphones.newcastle19720.com/ it now shows whole posts on home not just rhe excerpts.
While I was testing i did make it show only the titles so check to make sure u did it right in the post-excerpt.php file. You MAY have taken out the **the_content** part.
I wish I could sen u my file to try. If it works on my demo it should work for any. I copied the whole file content here so u can try it in your excerpt file:
What is your site’s url so we can see?

(Make copy of original file! Then put this code in for your same file.
Or just visually compare them to see the diff.)

<?php
/**
* The template for displaying post excerpts.
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Brightpage
*/
?>

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>” <?php post_class(); ?>>

<div id=”post-title-<?php the_ID(); ?>” class=”clearfix full”>
<h2>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</div> <!– end div .post-title –>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘postmeta’ ); // Post Meta (postmeta.php) ?>

</div> <!– end div #post –>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Good luck. If all else fails just find another/better theme! ??

well… i’m back again… god this theme…
I’ve run into a new bug that i’m wondering if anyone has figured out. I’ve placed PNG images with a transparent background in the image slider on the home page but its leaving the previous image in the background when I click to the next image. what a buggy theme… Anyone experience this and figure out a solution?

No i have not had that prob most times i use jpeg. Canu you change them to jpeg? Does it work when u use jpeg? Can we get the url so we can see?

I prob would not use this theme…too many issues. Sad bc it is a cool theme. ??

It looks like its solved but I just did the same thing,… In post-excerpt.php comment out this line,…

<!– <?php the_post_thumbnail(‘post-image’, array(‘class’ => ‘imgthumb’)); ?> –>

All done,… The images still show up when you click on the post & they still show up in the Slider,…

For those who are interested, If you have a “main” slider image while it’s not related with the post i.e. Home Header Banner, while you do not have any featured post yet. Just add some script where it will display the Main Header instead of leaving it blank.

Here is the script
At Editor, click Slider.php, add the following script after <!– END SLIDER –>

<?php else : ?>
<!– BEGIN MAIN HEADER –>
<div id=”sliderbox” class=”clearfix”>
<div id=”slider” class=”nivoSlider”>
<img src=”images.jpg” alt=”name for the image”>
</div>
</div> <!– end div #sliderbox –>
<!– END MAIN HEADER–>

This code must end before <?php endif; ?>

Change the images.jpg <–to the images URL where you upload the image.
Hope this helps!

While there are several issues going on in this thread, I resolved one of the issues and would like to share what I did.

Getting the Slider to Work

The slider only works if you have selected the front page to display your latest posts. This is set from the Admin Panel under Settings/Reading.

Next, in order for images to appear in the slider, you need to create some art to show. This art should be created at 920 pixels wide x 200 pixels high. Be careful not to exceed the margins needed for the cutouts on either side of the slider and the black panel at the bottom.

One for each slider display. It works with a single image, but will work better with at least two, as it will continually redraw the image if their is only one.

The next step is to create a post in the Admin Panel at Posts/Add New. Keep in mind that should anyone click on the image in the slider they will be taken to this post.

Give this post a name which will appear in the black title panel at the bottom of the slider. Then move down to the bottom right under Featured Image and click on “Set featured image.” Load the image that you created above here. Be sure to click on Full Size (920 x 200) and then click on “Use as featured image.” If you want to display this image within the post, you should click on the “Insert into Post” button. You may then close the popup.

You may now enter text into the post that the reader will view upon clicking on the image in the slider. If you have chosen to enter the image within the text of the page, should change the size of this image to a more respectful 600 x 130 to appear within the post page.

Altering the Front Page Posts

Upon returning to the front page, you will note that the image appears twice. Once in the slider and again in the list of posts below. However, the image is too large to be shown in it’s full size at the top of each post.

To correct this you will need to make a minor change in the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). This is found under Appearance/Editor. Select theme to edit to be Brightpage at the top right of this page. Look for the post-excerpt.php near the end of the list and click on it. It will appear in the editing window. This is the template for displaying the post excerpts that who on the front page and during searches.

Note: You may want to make a backup of the original Stylesheet (style.css) prior to making any changes in case something goes wrong. Simple highlight everything in the editing window and copy it to a text document, which you can save on your computer.

You will want to remove the line (included the < and > on each end of the line…

?php the_post_thumbnail(‘post-image’, array(‘class’ => ‘imgthumb’)); ?

Click on the Update File button and you are done.

I hope this helps.

We removed the code as suggested for the Squash Blossom Kitchens site, but we’d like to link the header graphic to the home page. Any suggestions?
