The featured content slider isn’t working.
I’m using the post ID – feat-img – and the pic URL, but it’s not sliding. It’s just showing a static image.
The site is Sweet Potato Pie just to see what I’m saying.
Hai. One of the reason that may cause the slider not working is conflicted jquery. Please try disabling your installed plugins one by one to determine which one is causing the problem.
Alternatively, please open the featured.php and set its javascript like below:
timed: true,
showArrows: false,
showCarousel: false,
embedLinks: false
Please try it out and let me know if it’s still not working. Thanks.
Hello, trying to setup Bluzon template the slide feature does not work! The site is: vatikiotis.gr
Any idea please?
Thank you
Continue from the previous message:
Actually I do not know what is the “Post-ID” and where I can find it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an amateur….
Hai. You can find the Post ID by going to the edit post panel – /wp-admin/edit.php. Move your cursor over the post title, you’ll see below your browser status bar: /wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=369
369 is an example of Post ID
Just fill in the post ids you want on the slider settings. Please try it out and let me know if you have problem using this theme again. Thanks.
Hey there,
First, I must say the Bluzon theme is fantastic and I installed it from the moment I set eyes on it. Unfortunately though, I can seem to get it working properly. I got this error message and the posts on show one at a time as shown in the website http://www.SmartDogsTraining. com.
The error message is as follows:
Fatal Error: Only Variables Can Be Passed By Reference In /Home/Dynam30/Public_html/Smartdogstraining/Wp-Content/Themes/Bluzon/Functions.Php On Line 486
Anyone care enough to help me out please? I hope so and will be grateful for that.
Cheers,
Alex.
Hai. The error is cause by your outdated version of WordPress. I believe you’re using 2.6. As I mentioned above this theme is compatible with 2.7+ and 2.8+. I didn’t have the chance of testing it with 2.6+ before.
Please consider upgrading your WordPress to the newest version. Thanks.
Hi Ronald,
Thank you very much for the reply. I’m using the latest version of WP, i.e. 2.8+, so maybe I may have to delete the theme and upload it again and see what happen.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Alex.
Hi Ronald,
As advised, I check my WP version and I’m using the latest which is 2.8.5. I’ve also tried to delete and re-upload the theme and even tried downloading from another source and installing but still all to no avail. I’ve activated all the widgets also.
Please, is there any way you’d help me out? It’s definitely something to do with the comments. If you can, please do as I’ll very much appreciate that.
Cheers,
Alex
Hai. I’ve sent you an email with the theme attached. I’ve made some fix on the comments function. Please try it out and let me know the result. Thanks.
p.s – Please delete the cache folder inside the scripts folder before uploading it. I forgot to delete them before zipped it to you..hehe.
Hi Ronald,
You’re awesome! Thank you very much for that. I’ll check it out now and let you know how it goes.
Until then,
Alex
Hi Ronald,
it worked perfectly this time. Thank you very much.

Hi Ronald,
Thank so much for all great themes here, all are wonderful–my dream themes…
I also facing problem about the feature picture…i am working on it , First the Post ID–from the above post –understood…
Second —I don’t know how to put the picture for the featured post. And do i have to resize the picture first before uploading to wp.
Once again thank you very very much…
Hai Mimi, if you want to define your own image for featured content slider, you just need to set it up by using the custom fields feature.
On the edit post panel, scroll down to custom fields, press enter new, insert custom values “feat-img” in the Name box and insert the URL of your image (600 x 300 size should cover it) on the Value box, finally press add custom field to update it.
You are free to use larger image because it will automatically resize it to use on featured content box.
Please try it out and let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
Hi Ronald,
Thank you very much for your advice, i did it all and added 6 custom field but it only show the first one(picture) only.
Please help……

I am very new for wordpress and this kind of thing , i means –website , blog…so please forgive me , if i ask something you think I should not ask.
By the way, I ‘d been googling through many sites with more than hundreds of themes before I found yours. Your work is perfect. Thank you.
Hai Mimi. For the featured slider, please add more than 1 post for it to work properly. If you only want to display a static 1 post on the slider, please open the featured.php and set all variable to false on the startGallery function.
I just checked out your site, I’m not really sure why you have installed the bluzon theme within a bluzon folder..if possible, just put the bluzon theme folder on the themes root.
As for the timthumb, can you please manually create a folder name ‘cache’ inside the ‘scripts’ folder and Chmod it 777 or 755. Usually the timthumb will create the cache folder automatically, but in your case it doesn’t, so you have to create it yourself.
To make sure that you’re using the custom fields feature correctly, please refer to this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzkcmESTa0g
The only difference is you have to use custom field name ‘feat-img’ for featured slider and ‘post-img’ for standard post.
Please try it out and let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
hi,
i am a completely amateur and i try to activate the featured category news section but i dont know how.
i want to display a certain category named NEWS instead of posts but i dont know how to fill in the box
“Insert Featured Content Slider Post ID”
at the Theme options settings
any help..?
Hai George, I’m not sure which theme you’re referring to. When I looked at your site, you’re using the ecobox theme but the question you posted is on bluzon theme.
Anyway, both of the themes have the same usage function. If you want to use the featured content slider, you need to enable it on theme options. Please go to Admin Panel > Appearance > Theme Options > Featured Content Slider Settings, choose enable and insert the post ID you want to put on the slider and save it. Unfortunately, the themes are using post ID for its featured slider, not by category name.
If you want to use it by category name instead, please contact me by using contact form above and let me know which theme you want me to modify it for you. I would be glad to help you anytime. Thanks.
Hi Ronald,
I’m here again to thank you for everything, My website is working fine now, I will try to finish every detail soon.

Your work really does help many people like me, God bless you.
oh! nice theme and easy use.
Hello
I’m using your bluzon theme, which is lovely.
However, in the wordpress admin dashboard only one page at a time shows up when attempting to edit pages.
There is no list of all the pages.
However, when I changed back to default them to see if the issue was with the bluzon theme, all the pages reappeared.
Can you suggest how to resolve this?
I am using wordpress 2.9
thanks
Hai lalone. I don’t seems to have the problem with page edit panel. I can see all my page list while using Bluzon theme on WP2.9. It might be plugins related problem conflicting with the theme. Can you please let me know what plugins you’ve installed. Thanks.
The theme options page is great.
Please can you add one more option where we can control the width of the theme and sidebars so no need to manual edit the theme.
Thanks for your suggestion. We’ll keep that in mind for our future theme release. Thanks.
all theme is working fine
except post image not shown
whats happning
only blind screen and read more option
Hai Dastgir, the main reason is because Timthumb script doesn’t support external image extraction. You must upload the image on your server and attached it on post or using custom field feature to show it. Please let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
Hey Ronald,
I thought I’d come back here and say thanks for making this excellent WP theme free for everyone. From my experience with it and compared to other free themes I’ve tried, I’d say Bluzon (and the likes created by you) are the best. Not meaning to blow your trumpet here but I’m sure everyone who’s used it before will say the same – not to talk of your continuous help to make it work if for any reason it breaks down…
thanks…!
Totally agreed with Stop Dog Barking, I am here again to say thank you for the great -easy to use themes,
I use another theme from magpress.com for my husband’s site

Thank you!
Hi,
I´ve installed and made a couple of changes to the theme, and now I get when I pass it to a server this message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home6/cirilofl/public_html/lagaceta/wp-content/themes/bluzon/functions.php:1014) in /home6/cirilofl/public_html/lagaceta/wp-includes/functions.php on line 851
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home6/cirilofl/public_html/lagaceta/wp-content/themes/bluzon/functions.php:1014) in /home6/cirilofl/public_html/lagaceta/wp-includes/functions.php on line 852
What happens is that the wp admin stops working and only displays this message so I have to reinstalla the whole wp. This does not happen in localhost.
I am working with the 2 latest versions of wp.
On the other hand, even though the wp admin dies, the page displays perfectly…
What is going on?
Please, any help???
Thanks.
Hai. Please let me know what kind of changes you’re made on the theme. Email me if you want to discuss this privately. Thanks.
dear ronald,
the feature image in everypost doesn’t appear
why when i click all post and also page:
The requested URL /perjalanan-bonusku-2/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Please check your wp setting and .htacess write access.
ronald….I want more than 8 posts to show up in my home page b/c my sidebar looks messed up and I can’t get the double side bar thing going on.
hi enza
you can change how many posts to show in settings -> readings
The problem with these templates the featured content slider is not automatically updated. You have to do it manually with every new post. Other templates do this automatically.
Yes. It was post id based selection. If you want to modified it to category id based option, then it will automatically pull latest number of posts from category. Please email me for mods. TQ.
