Thanks @bruceallen Ive sent a support ticket in!

I’m not 100% but I think you may need WordPress stats installed, via Jetpack.

I was getting the same. Activated stats and it seems to have started working.

Could be coincidence though. He doesn’t mention that in the FAQ.

Hi

Sorry about the late response, I only just spotted this post.

Thanks for the suggestion – I’ll look into it at some point in the future. Having only used single user WP installs in the past, this never even occurred to me until now.

Cheers

Looks like I missed changing the version number on the readme file – I assumed it was picked up from the plugin itself.

Use something like this:

<?php comments_popup_link(‘0 comments’, ‘1 comment’, ‘% comments’, ‘commentslink’, ‘Comments Closed’); ?>

if you insert this into your post page, within The Loop, it will show something like:

0 comments
or
1 comment
or
50 comments
or
comments closed

.. depending on the situation. The text can be customised by changing the text within the example I gave above.

Hope this helps!

Hi bucovetsky

Comments are visible on the same pages as posts (??)

Is this the same as the question you asked here? If yes, could you elaborate?

Hi MoonbatWingnut

If you open category.php, line 28 reads:

<?php the_excerpt(''.__('Read More <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>', 'sandbox').'') ?>

Change it to this:

<?php the_content(''.__('Read More <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>', 'sandbox').''); ?>

This should stop Modmat from showing the excerpt version of the post, and show the full text – links, images and all.

Hope this helps.

Nocturna & Bucovetsky

I’m still not 100% what you mean. Are you saying you want any comments that are left on a post to appear on your homepage (or in your case Nocturna, your “secondary posts page” ?

If not, could you give me a link to said page and I’ll take a look what you mean?

Cheers

In style.css, line 102, (div.sidebar ul ul li) you can change how the sidebar lists are displayed.

If you change list-style-type:none; to list-style-type:disc; it will add bullets to the list items.

If you want to add some space below, on the same line in style.css, add something like padding-bottom: 4px; and it’ll add a 4 pixel padding to the bottom of every list item.

Hi Christine

I don’t think theres a way of subscribing at the moment, but as this part of the www.ads-software.com site (extend – themes) is relatively new, I assume it will improve over time.

I think I read on a blog post that there was talk of the WordPress software making you aware of updates, much in the same way it does with plugins now, but I imagine this is just an idea for the future…

Do you mean on the front page of the blog?

Hi Kyle

I took a look at the validation and it seems that the example content used in the posts does not validate – one of their lists closes with a </> rather than </ li> which is causing all the validation errors. I stress that this is WP’s content, not mine! ??

Ive since checked this on a fresh install of Modmat and it validates fine.

Thanks for letting me know – I’ll fire out an email to WordPress to ask them to edit that post!

Hi Chuck

Thanks for trying out the theme! Unfortunately, resizing the columns would require redrawing the background images so its not something I could easily introduce into Modmat. I will bear your feedback in mind for future designs though ??

Hi Goader

On the homepage, you can reduce the space by opening style.css, looking for line 111 div#content .hentry and changing the margin-bottom value (currently at 30px).

On the individual post pages, its a combination of the above, plus on line 129 .comments the margin-top value can be reduced from 40px.

Hope this helps!

Hi Christine

Ive seen the theme in action on a couple of sites and I see what you mean – I hadn’t noticed the difference in header sizes up to now.

I’ll get that fixed and upload the updated files – as soon as I can work out how to upload new versions of a theme to this site! ??

Your second point is normal behaviour. The “default widgets” aren’t really widgets are such – I’ve manually added them into the code as an example, and for people who can’t be bothered adding their own! As soon as you add a widget, the my default “widgets” will no longer show.

Hope this is some help!
