Please read the readme.txt file. it needs some plugins. you need to download those plugins and install them.

Nope, since Web address http://labitacora.net/comunBlog/limit-post.php nor /limit-posts.php is not working!
BTW: WP-New-Mag-Plugins.zip has some problems, at least with my Winzip

Dear Sir, problem solved with excerpt. What I need now is how to set # of words/characters and how to modify the word “more”. Any support will be appreciated.
Best regards.

On which part you would like to edit the word “more” / number of characters ? you need to edit the index.php file, archieve.php and search.php

< ?php if(function_exists('the_content_limit')) the_content_limit(180, "More"); ?>

here 180 is number of characters and you can also edit the word “More” here.

P.S: There are many sections in the index.php and uses different amount of characters. So, find “the_content_limit(” and make changes as needed.

Francesco says:

Dear Sir;

Thanks, I had to change the other php files that overwrite plugin settings.
But the featured column (in which are the 2 featured categories, in my case “forex” and “inversion”) still cannot change limit settings.

Which file should I edit?

Thanks a lot, of course I really appreciate your work, this theme is extraordinary and I plan to use it for several blogs.

I believe you are talking about the content limit for posts in 2 featured categories. I believe, it is on the index.php only. There are totally 3 blocks one is Main block and 2 featured category block. if you look at the index.php code you will see that the main block code are between
and . The 1st featured category code is under (below main block code …). The 2nd featured category code is under (below main block code …).

You need to look for “the_content_limit”. That statement decides the number of characters and the presence of the word “More”.

P.S: if you make changes on Main block you need to do that on archieve.php as well as search.php. The featured categories will not be shown on archieves and search result pages as per the base design of this theme. So, you will not see the featured block codes in search.php and archieve.php

Thank you

Each post in featured category has fixed height and widths. it will not expand if you increase the content limit. if you want you need to edit the height too.

What images? if you mean 125×125 ads images. they are configured using wp_125 plugin. please refer the installation guide. adding twitter counter next to categories … you need to edit header.php

Dear Sir;

Please have a look at bottom page of americainversion.com; tags cloud is not centered (I use IE 7). How could I center the cloud?

Thanks. Another issue, I’ve been noticing my site running a bit slow and through Firebug have found that a file called tabber.js is taking over 3 seconds to load every time a page loads. When I go into the theme folders I cannot find any such java script file. Any ideas?

[Reply]

Merlin Reply:
June 18th, 2009 at 1:02 am

Please remove the following lines from header.php:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/tabber.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">document.write('<style type="text/css">.tabber { display: none; }<\/style>');</script>

We initially thought to use tabber in our theme. later we decided to remove it. However, we forgot to remove the above two lines.

I’ve been using this template for a month and everything worked well until yesterday.

In the wp nem mag options, I can’t set the featured categories because there are no categories to be picked in the featured category field.

Can you help me with that?

Could it be the result of the wp 2.8 upgrade?

Yes. it is know bug of WP 2.8. It is fixed in WP 2.8.1 beta. You can upgrade to WP 2.8.1 beta version.

At this point it seems to be stuck in an endless search loop.
Where do you tell the theme to go and get the preferred jpgs?
I have looked at the ‘header.php’.
Does all of the installation guide have to be in place in order for the ‘featured-content-gallery’ to work?

Your question went to spam box. the menu we have in top lists categories not pages. you have only one category. thanks

[Reply]

Mike LaPage says:

When you look at the website, you will see boxes (Recent Entries, Sponsers, Featured Video, etc.) with a text heading made with off white text on a black bar. If you look at a plugin (Events-that I added), you will see the box text heading with no black bar and the text is a different font size and color. I want the Events box heading to look like the other box headings.
I want to know the name and where to find the code for the black bar box heading to see if I can add the code to the Events settings (for headers) to make it look like the other box headings.
http://sciencesphere.net/
P.S.-There is an Events box in the middle column, but I don’t know how it functions or how to make it work. Can it be deleted? If so, where to look for the code and under what name?
Thanks

Hi Merlin,
I have replaced the ‘featured video’ with another 300×250 banner ad so that turned out ok.
However when I add another array for the ‘300×250 side banner ad settings’ in functions.php, the same add repeats itself.
the code I added was:

array( “name” => “300×250 Sidebar Banner Ad Settings”,
“type” => “heading”,
“desc” => “You can specify ads (google ad/affiliate ad/banner) on this section. The ad will be displayed on 300×250 Right Sidebar.”),

array( “name” => “300×250 Banner Ad”,
“id” => $shortname.”_ad_300×250″,
“std” => “Enter 300×250 Ad Code Here”,
“type” => “textarea”),

is that the correct code?
It does come out ok in WP New Mag Options but I cant seem to save different ads in them

Please advice,
thanks in advance,
Lin

BUT~ Somehow I changed it once, and couldn’t figure out how I did it. BUT, please, what line or section in the style sheet do I change the container that the whole blog “sits” in? I had changed it to white once, then blew it by changing everything back to orginal and I can’t find it now. Example, on this site, the outter edges are dark grey….on the Mag template, it’s blue…I want to make it white.

Which line contains the secret spot to change it to #ffffff? Thanks so much
