WordPress Theme Support

13

For a number of reasons, I have decided to close down the comments on my individual theme pages. Instead, I decided that I would install a theme support forum, which will hopefully better serve the community of people using my themes.

A few reasons why:

  • There is only one of me, and thousands of you.
  • It’s much easier to support a theme when each request has it’s own thread.
  • I have the ability to close a thread when the issue has been addressed.
  • A support forum allows others to help answer questions.
  • Having to sift through hundreds of emails a day became tiresome.
  • You can search the forums easier and try to find an answer.

    I’m using one of your themes, and I need to be sure about this. All of your themes aren’t sponsored themes, right?

  2. Fath, just checked out your blog, and I love how you modified it - great work! You are correct, none of the themes on my site are sponsored, and they never will be.

    Any chance you’ll be going to a full feed rather than an excerpt with your changes?

  4. Douglas, made the change - should be in effect next time around!

  6. Fath says:

    Thanks Brian :)

  7. Love the header (and color scheme) you have on the theme TIna, great work!!! Fath - your welcome, as always! ;)

  8. Hi Brian,

    Just want to thank you for the free theme. Great Work. I modified it a little, but left your credits. BTW, the text isn’t clearing on default for the search input box. I fixed this by adding:

    ——-
    onfocus=”this.value=””
    ——-

    to this line in your sidebar code snippet:

    like so:

    Anyways… THANK YOU. :)

  9. oops: no html….

    to this line in your sidebar code snippet:
    type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”30″ value=”search this site…”

    like so:
    type=”text” name=”s” id=”s” size=”30″ value=”search this site…” onfocus=”this.value=””

    Oh, I am using your Blue Zinfandel (2 column theme).

    Greetings

    The link to this support forum is dead and I am trying to figure out how to modify the header so it picks up my blog name and description. I also want to change the V box V to a down arrow.

    Vertigo Blue 2

    can anyone help?

    Already making plans for the newspaper template …

  11. Its very basic HTML / CSS, so I’ll go as far as to tell you…

    The two things you want to change are images. The code for the images are located here: /wp-content/themes/vertigo-blue-2column/style.css

    Located this:
    background: #FFFFFF url(images/header.gif);
    AND
    background: #FFFFFF url(images/logo.gif);

    Comment them out like so:
    /* background: #FFFFFF url(images/header.gif); */
    AND
    /* background: #FFFFFF url(images/logo.gif); */

    From there on, look into editing the header.php file, inside the theme directory.

    Hey all —

    I am working with 2-column Vertigo in WordPress and am having a couple of problems.

    I am so-so on code and CSS.

    The theme will not respect the align=”right” (hspace=”4″) command. All of the uploaded images (photos in the left column) go flush left even though the CMS shows it right.

    I cannot get AdSense script to display in posts. The theme does display my pre-existing AS script in old posts.

    (I just went to Leopard so that may play into this, ugh)

    Thanks. I would like to keep the theme but really need a tip or two.
