I am contacting them.

But I spent all morning – and all of the previous week – working on F8 Static and the minute I switch the Theme to F8 Lite it’s busted….

Hi RJ.

Thank you so much. It would be really great to get “unstuck” here and get this moving. It has been a very long goal.

Do you mind if I print this out – and try and see if I can get it working – and then post back any questions?

Can I ask you a couple now so that I know I understand it “intellectually”? I’m not a big coder and to the extent I can have very specific directions it helps.

When you say the image sizes are hardcoded into the template and that the image itself is 150 x 150 what does this mean exactly? I mean, you are saying that if I open the original image it will show me that it is 150 x 150? What does the hardcoding mean? Does it just mean that the image was uploaded as 150 x 150 or something else?

Are you suggesting that I get into the ftp where I have uploaded the Theme and change the archive.php and the category.php /code/ to read 150 instead of 310? Am I doing this just for this image or – as it sounds – for the whole site? I’m not sure I get this.

I’ve gone in and put all the images to “left” using the WP interface. This seems to work well and the WP interface is really the preferable way for me to interact with the blog. The coding is a little tricky for me. I’m a little like a dumb monkey with it and I’d love to stay out of there if possible.

Can I change any of these settings in the WP UI?
Should I think about changing the actual size of the images and then re-upload them? I’m not sure I even understand some of this.

I mean, I am uploading images with all different sizes and I don’t want them to be stretched. I don’t mind at the moment if they are particularly rasterized because the /originals/ are thumbnails but if I am setting them to display as thumbnails – or if I have a setting that is causing them to be stretched I really want to fix this…

THANKS for the help in getting unstuck here…

Hi RJ

Again a big thanks.

Here is an example of it not being stretched.

lower right hand corner show the post being stretched

Also this last page shows this uber annoying slideshow that I’d like to get rid of.

Somehow the “proper” image on the blog is OK but the blogroll images get stretched??

Thanks

Hi. Thanks.

Almost all of the images in the blog posts (some of these are square) are being stretched to fit the space…

thanks.

Hi. Big Thanks.

I am almost 99 44/100% sure that I want to have all links open in a new window.

That said, I am pretty used to just clicking an option in my older website UI to “open in a new window”. If I click on the link and it doesn’t open in a new window, I go in and change the pulldown in the UI.

So – if it keeps me out of the deeper ends of the pool – I don’t mind going in to my list of links to these pdf’s, and simply adding a little bit of extra code. If I test the site and one does not open in a new window I can go in and check the link code to make sure the open in a new window bits are in there…

I’m sort of all organized and ready to roll with it and this kind of help really is – well – invaluable…

Thanks.

Hi! Wait.

Can you please tell me how to do this? I tried clicking on his name in the theme and it brings me back to the WP theme site.

I have to do it in the subscriber only forum??

Where do I find this forum?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hey Fish.

Hopefully I am getting up to speed here. I’m really grateful for the help.

I will read this and try and respond intelligently. In the meantime, can I try and clarify on my end and say that I used the WordPress interface, typed “link” in the text area (this is below where I linked the image using the little slide icon) and then I selected the text “link” and now I am trying to figure out what link to put in after the filled in “https://” that comes up in the prompt dialog.

Advance aplologies if I am using something wrong here or mis-explaining.

thanks again.

Hi. That’s a great idea I didn’t think I could do this.

I had three issues, really.

The first was this stretching thing

The second was how to change the default email and phone number in the top right hand corner and

The third was the “blog home page” (not the home page for the whole site) does a weird slideshow animation of /some/ of the images. I find this really, really distracting.

Thanks!

thanks so much.

can i ask you to just help me here…?

is this right? does the spacing have to be exact?

thanks so much for that James.

can i ask you if you know if there is something similar for the wp-admin login?

i also have a wonky pass for this login and I was not sure how to change this one either…
