Changing images & titles on theme

  • Hi, I want to use the sliding door theme, but can’t figure out how to change the images displayed or the titles on the images (which should be the same as my categories) – IF this is even possible. I tried changing the name of the image, and also changed it in the imagemenu file (to test), but it still stays the same as it was originally.

    Also, only one category shows up on the list (I think it’s the sidebar) instead of all seven. There’s only one test post in the one category, so maybe it needs to have one in each category… not sure.

    Does anyone know how to change these things. I’m very new at this so thanks for bearing with me (and if you do know, please explain it very simply!) ??

    thank you for your help!

  • Yes, that is a cool theme. Open the readme file in the theme and you will see the following:

    HOW TO CUSTOMISE
    **************************************************

    IMAGES

    On the theme homepage (mac-host.com/slidingdoor) you can find the original photoshop files so you can edit the text on the sliding images and the background pictures to suit your own site. You need to upload the finished pictures to: themes/slidingdoor/imagemenu/images

    IMAGE URL’s

    The images by default point to the first 7 wordpress categories. You can change this to point them wherever you wish, but you will need to edit the header.php file. The URL for the first image is in line 47 of the header.php file. Line 48 contains the link for the second image and so on.

    SITE HEADING

    The theme has the ability to have two colours in the blog heading. To use this optional effect you simply need to place square brackets around any words that you want to be darker. For example on my site I have as the blog name “free[wordpress]theme[!]” so the “wordpress” and “!” is darker. This does not effect the page title where the brackets are replaced by spaces.
