I would like to use your wordpress template but I’m having a problem. I can not find how to change the text in the blue box at the top of the home page. It is right below the title ans has “Change this text from the Settings panel” in the template base.

thanks in advance,
John

Hi Catherine,
Is there any specific problem you are facing?

John – On your Dashboard go to Appearance/Social Settings and remove the text in the Header Introduction Tab

Hi Jane,
The instructions for this are present in the admin panel (Themes -> Theme Options)
If you move any line above another one, its icon will shift towards left in the header.

Hi there… fantastic theme!

One question… How can I get text to run continuously along the subsidiary box? At the moment it creates a column at the left hand side.

Thanks for any help,

Joe

Suggestions anyone?

Hi Joseph,
You want the widgets in the Subsidiary widget area to stretch to full width instead of 33%?
For that, try adding the following code to custom.css (Insert near the end of file)

#subsidiary .widget {width:900px;}

Hi,
I have installed various plugins with your theme. My problem is that they are only appearing on my pages and not my home ‘post’ page. For example I have installed disqus comments and only wire and both of them can only be seen on my pages and not my posts.

Hello Admin,

Is there a simple way to insert an image/logo to the left of the Header Title?

I would like to show a logo once we launch.

Appreciate any suggestions,
JC

Hello,

I’ve been trying to setup my blog using your “Social Wordpress Theme”. I’m not able to get the “Sidebar Widget” to work. When I insert my banners into the “widgets template” nothing shows up on my blog. As a test I inserted my banners into the “Secondary” location and my banners showed up fine.

Is there any way for me to insert my banners into the “widgets template” so they will show up on my blog? Thanks,

Darrin Crudup

This is my all time new favorite theme. Thanks. How do I get the drop down menu to work?

I figured it out on my own. I had to turn the pagemash plugin off and attach the subcategory to parent pages

Dear Utkarsh Kukreti,

I had been searching for a column theme with options for a while to write a book online and finally found yours that suits my needs after I had made some modifications. Though, it was kind of hard to do modifications in your theme as you used Hybrid with which I am not familiar.

Thank you very much for your theme & Happy New year2010!

Regards,
Murali

Hi,

I love this options you’ve provided in this theme. When it comes to editing the actual theme this is something I have limited experience with. What I’d like to do though is keep the format exactly as it is, but chance the colours if possible.

Where can I find the codes within the theme to make changes to the colours. I’m just not sure which theme file I should edit.

Thanks,

Renee

Hi Renee,
Try editing the file custom.css

I can’t seem to change the “Home” link, which file do I look in to change it?

I am running several blogs on my website, and I want the Home of the nested blogs to point to the root.

Another question, I can’t seem to find in the admin panel (Themes -> Theme Options) I’m using WordPress 2.9.1.

After much digging I found the answer myself! No thanks to developer. Love the theme… not the support.

To place a background image on your website, simply paste this code into the top of your custom CSS page in the Appearance-Editor section:

body{background: url(“http://WHATEVER_YOUR_FILENAME_IS.jpg”) #xxxxxx 80% 0% no-repeat}

The x’s are for you to replace with your desired background colour.

For additional help, please check out this website: http://www.quackit.com/css/properties/css_background.cfm

Best of luck!

I used a 200×200px .jpg image and a matching background colour.

Hello,

I would like to change the navigation link “Home” to point to my website homepage rather than the blog’s homepage. I’ve looked in the header.php file but have not found the place to do this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I’m looking to change the “Home” button in the navigation to a different web address. Where can I locate the file to do this?

Thanks!

Nice theme.

Quick questio, if I may.

How do I link the code to the Social Button, please?

I can’t seem to find where I do this….!

Reply

Henri February 17, 2010 at 1:39 am

Found it!!!

Appearance – Social Settings

How hard was that??

Easy when you know how!

Henri February 18, 2010 at 1:20 am

I really like the uncluttered layout of this WP theme. The Über Cool Social buttons are simply wonderful.

Go to Appearance – Social Settings to edit these.

The HTML code for the Social buttons is as follows:

for the default Twitter button

for a labelled Twitter button

for a labelled Twitter button that opens your Twitter URL in a new window.

There is a huge choice of buttons to use.

Henri February 18, 2010 at 1:25 am

Ah…………HTML code not allowed in Comments!!

So, visit my website (Click on Henri above) and read my post Über Cool Social buttons. All the information you need is there.

I hope that is helpful.

Very cool theme – I’ve gotten a number of complements already so kudos to YOU!

If you have a moment can you explain how to remove the blogging capabilities from the “home” page? I’ve added a “blog” page so I don’t want that content to show up twice, but instead of the blog on the home page I would like to be able to place some static content on my home page.

Thanks!

David

got it – I went into the home page in the theme editor section and blocked out the bulk of the code () I also then had to manually place text on this page in order for it to appear on my home page.
