Great theme, just one problem… How can I get rid of the image in the advertising widget and put my google adsence. Like you have on your site.
Thanks
Hai, Jeff. I’ve fixed the 160×600 banner setting in the theme option, it wasn’t working properly before. Please redownload the theme and just replace the functions.php and sidebar.php.
Then, go to the theme option panel and set up your banner code under the “Google Adsense & Analytics Settings”. Please let me know if you have any problem using this theme again. Thanks.
Thanks for this wonderful theme. I’m using it on my site but can’t seem to get it to work with any contact form plugin. Can you advise which to use? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hai, Lin. I’m glad you like this theme. Regarding your question:
I’ve visited your site and I believe you’re using the Contact Form WordPress Plugin by Mike Challis. Right? As I see it, one of the main reason why the shortcode “[si_contact_form]” is showing on your contact page is you didn’t activate the plugin and update its setting. Please check it out on your plugin page.
Also, don’t forget to disable ping and comment on the contact us page you have created. Please try it out and let me know the result.
Hi Ronald, thanks for the quick reply. I actually did activate the plugin as well as update its setting. I also disabled ping and comment as per your instruction but yet the form does not show up. Please advise. Thank you.
Try adding code tag wrapping the si_contact_form:
[code][si_contact_form][/code] in HTML edit mode.
replace [ ] with < > on the code tag.
Please try it out and let me know the result. Thanks.
Tried that. Still did not work 🙁
I’m not really sure what causing it. Sorry..Maybe your php.ini config doesn’t allow shortcode parsing.
I would suggest you to find another contact form plugin.
Btw, have you tried redownloading the plugin and reupload it into your plugin folder? If you wanna try it, make sure you delete your old contact form plugin first before uploading the new one. Maybe your previous plugin was corrupted. You can download the contact form plugin HERE.
Thanks Ron for the quick reply. I was also wonder about the youtube video. I love it’s placement, perfect but I would like to remove the featured, comments tab above it how would it do that. Also while we’re at it I would also like the follow me twitter link at the top-right to be changed. Is this possible.
Thanks
Sure. No problem. I’m glad the banner worked out for you. Well, if you want to remove the tabbers and leave it with only the embed youtube video on the box. Please open the sidebar.php and look for similar code below:
— Delete From Here —
<*/div class="tabbertab"/*>
<-- Some Codes Here -->
<*/div>
— Delete To Here —
Just delete the tabbertab class containing the ‘Recent Comments’ and ‘Most Commented’.
Finally, please open the tabber.css inside the css folder and add this line:
display: none;
inside the ul.tabbernav li
Ok. Regarding the twitter link. Did you mean that you want to change the ‘follow me’ text on it? If so, just open the header.php and you can easily find the twitter linking setting there where you can edit it manually.
That’s all. Please try it and let me know the result..
Ron,
Thanks everything worked perfectly. I have one last question and suggestion. I’m looking for a plugin that will read rss feeds for my front page.
Basically I want a headliner coming from yahoo sports. Would you know of a plugin to do that.
By the way you template was great. I went through about 20 template and finally found this template.
Thanks for the good work.
Thank, Jeff. I’m glad you like this theme. Regarding your question, please try reading this:
http://myblogtoolkit.com/feeds/yahoo-live-news-feed-in-wordpress-page
I believe it have what you need. I haven’t try it before but you can try it out and I’m always glad to assist you anyway I can..Thanks.
Hi, your them is modern and pro. I try it. It’s my first beginning in using blog. My english is not perfect, sorry. I have some questions. When I integrate a youtube video, 2 screens appear. I can’t solve this problem. Thank’s for help.
it’s ok. Youtube problem solved.
Please tell me how to get rid of the 2 videos, have’t been able to figure it out.
I believe you didn’t embed the video code correctly. Please go to the theme options, under sidebar featured video, refer to the example for the code to put.
Hello, I’m a bit of a novice here so please excuse my tems. I really love this theme but I still cant get the video to work and play at the right size. When i did manage to change the embed code for a smaller video I kept getting two videos. Its also made the side bars move.
Please let me know your site url so I can take a look at it. Please open a new thread comment next time. Thanks.
I have some questions :
– when I put a picture in an article, it is not resize on the home page. How can I solve it ?
– how can I change the date and hour in my language (french) ?
I see that you’re using YAPB plugin for image. It doesn’t work when the plugin is enable, try disabling it.
Please refer to this website on how to localize the date in French:
http://webmaster.lycos.co.uk/tips/989424764/
Please let me know if you have trouble using this theme again. Thanks.
Hi, thank you. I have a problem with the size of pictures without YAPB. If you see the article “Loporem et denivum”, the picture posted is stretched in the glider and in the homepage…
Have a good day
Ok. To make the thumb looks nicer, you can manually crop the big picture to 273 x 119 and upload it into your own image folder, then use the ‘feat-img’ custom value to use it as thumb.
Sometime, Timthumb script doesn’t crop odd size picture properly, That’s why I prepare a custom value feature for manual insert.
Please try it out and let me know if you have trouble using this theme again.
Thank you. But I don’t understand what means “then use the ‘feat-img’ custom value to use it as thumb.”. Could you explain please ?
Ok. On the post edit, under custom fields, enter ‘feat-img’ in name box and the url location of your thumb on value box.
Please download Timthumb HERE. Create a ‘scripts’ folder inside your wp install root and upload the timthumb.php inside the folder, CHMOD 777 or 755.
Please try it out and let me know the result. Thanks.
I tried all the format in the url whit ‘feat-im’ custom : 250×207, 273×119, 150×120, 250×200, 230×100, 555×200. Once the picture in the glider is OK but it is not in the post of the homepage or it’s OK in the post but not in the glider…
I’ve sent you an email regarding this matter. Please check. Thanks.
There’s not ‘timthumb.php’ in the zip file of century.
Hi, Ronald!
Here I am and again I have some questions… 🙂
1st when I`ve set the Glider Headline News at the control panel it doesn`t matter how many I`ve chosed – it shows 5. For exaple I`ve put only 4 categories, but again on the page it displays 5. Speaking if it i couldn`t find a way to put more than 5 on the front page /6,8,10/. How can I do that like it is here on the sreenshot? You can take a look at test.e71nokia.net where I still test the theme before using it on my blog.
2nd – from where I should change the futured video code, so that I can put a video I want?
3rd if I delete “php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sponsor.php’);” will it remove the 125×125 ads? I preffer to ask first becouse the last time I did something before asking and it turned out that I`m not allowed 🙂
At the end I have to thank you for your work! You`ve put end to my searching for new theme for one of my blogs. I like this one – it fits perfect for it.
You can`t imagine how hard is to find a working theme, magazine style, widget-ready, with control panel and settings, with design that allows you to show maximum post on the front page, so that you can increase ones time spent on the blog, the number of the viewed pages so that you could reduce the bounce rate…
Hai, Boris. Regarding your questions:
1. I’m not really sure about what you meant on this question..Anyway, the gliding headline news is separate with the 273×119 thumb standard post. If you want to display more than 5 block of the standard post (posts with 273×119 thumb), please check your wp-admin > settings > reading > Blog pages show at most, set it to your desired number of post there. if this what you meant earlier..
2. you can change the featured video by going to the theme option, wp-admin > appearance > theme options, Under Sidebar Featured Video, copy & paste the appropriate code shown in the example.
3. Yes, you can safely remove the sponsor.php include code if you don’t want it.
Thanks again for your kind words..I appreciate it. I hope above solutions are working for you. Feel free to let me if you have trouble using this theme again.
As always working perfect. Thanks. I`ll test it for few days just to make sure that I can manage everything I want to, but I`m quite sure that will be the theme for my blog 🙂
Hello,
I’d like to incorporate a forum once I transition to this theme.
Any suggestions on a good one to add to this theme? Note: I’d like to add it on as another page in the site.
Thanks.
I’m not sure. I never integrated wp theme with forum before. Please google for it. Thanks.
Hi-
When I view the demo theme in IE, it looks completely different.
Is this just because it’s a demo, and won’t be a problem once I’ve added to my site?
Hoping it will look the same in both IE and FireFox.
Thanks.
I’m not sure what differences you’re referring to. If you tested it on IE6, it may have some layout problem as I didn’t optimize this theme to use on IE6.
As far as I’m concern, this theme is tested working in Firefox, IE7 and IE8.
Thanks for this wonderful theme…
Hi,
Thanks for the great theme, I like to know that plugins you are using in your demo theme specially to display the
glider news, featured news, please advise any plugins or widgets used in the theme
thanks
Hai Taj. All that features are integrated into the theme, no plugins required. You just have to set it up inside the theme options once you activated the theme.
it cant be simpler then that, thanks Ronald.
Hi Ronald,
i am getting mixed output while testing the theme, some time when i am clicking the read more, i am getting page not found and some time when clicking on post it display more then one post at the single post display. Featured news if i type # 1 displays all the categories and pages, it sounds like some thing i am doing terribly wrong please advise
Hai, please check your .htaccess config and your wordpress permlinks setting inside the admin page. Regarding the featured news, I’m not sure what’s going on there. If you don’t mind, please provide me the URL of your test site. I’ll take a look at it..Thanks.
Hi Ronald,
This is one of the best magazine templates I’ve seen. Truly.
I’ve successfully customize the header (as per header.php), but tested it in IE (various versions), and it doesn’t come up. (looks great in Mozilla, Opera and Safari tho). I understand it’s a browser incompatibility issue somewhere, and I’m not sure what needs to be changed.
Sincerely appreciate your help in this.
Thanks again. Su
Hai, Su. Do you mean it shows up in Firefox, but not in IE? As far as I’m concern, the header logo works on Firefox, IE7 and IE8. I didn’t optimize it to use on IE6 though..
Anyway, please make sure you have deleted the h1 and h2 tags inside the siteinfo id. Then, Uncomment the header logo HTML code. You have to adjust the logo size accordingly and it’s best to use transparent PNG for your logo.
Please try it again and let me know if it still not working (include your site url too). Thanks.
Brilliant! It worked!! Thanks so much. I earlier used a jpg file.
Thanks sooo much! You Rock!
Warmest,
Su
Hi Ronald,
First and foremost, thank you for the fantastic theme! I am having one small issue, however. For some reason my “featured news” post still shows the stock image and does not pull from the feat-img that I added in the post. Also, is there a way for the feat-img to show in the posts when you pull them up individually? I can’t seem to get that done either.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you again! Great work!
Derek
Thanks, Derek. I’m glad you like this theme. Regarding you question, please follow the steps below:
On your “Jacory says hold off” edit post panel, scroll down below for custom fields, press enter new, put “feat-img” (without the quote) inside the Name box and the absolute URL of your image (i.e hxxp://www.domain.com/wp-content/upload/myimage.jpg) on the Value box. Finally, press add custom field to update it. It should work if you follow the steps correctly.
Regarding your 2nd question, the purpose of using “feat-img” is when you don’t have any attached image on post for the script to pull it automatically, if you have one, it will auto pull the image to use as thumb on featured and standard post on homepage.
Using “feat-img” custom field doesn’t directly display the image on single post, you just have to attach the image manually on edit post panel.
I hope that answered your questions, please let me know if you have trouble using this theme again. Thanks.
Thanks for the reply! Regarding the first problem, I did have the feat-img tag in the custom fields as well as the absolute url of the image. I deleted and added it again following the steps and the image still did not show. I was able to fix it by adding the image through the post instead of through the feat-img tag. Now it is working fine. It may just be an issue on my end but I hope this helps if anyone has a similar problem.
Thanks again!
This seems to be an excellent theme – and thank you. But I am having trouble replacing the logo.
In the editor I’ve removed h1,h2, and “<!– Uncomment To Use Your Own Logo". In images folder I deleted the logo file and uploaded my own.
But still the original exists. When I upload my own logo.png, it does not replace the original.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Hai, Alex. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open header.php and look for siteinfo div id. If you want to use logo, please delete the H1 and H2 tag.
2. Below it, you’ll see an inactive code:
[!– Uncomment To Use Your Own Logo <– DELETE THIS
SOME HTML CODE HERE
–] <– DELETE THIS TOO TO ACTIVATE THE HTML CODE
* [ ] = <>
3. Upload your own logo.png inside the century theme images folder.
4. Alternatively, you can make your own Logo HTML code:
[a href=”your_url” title=”your_home_title”][img src=”your_full_image_location” alt=”put_some_title” /][/a]
* [ ] = <> replace the appropriate tag
Please try it again and let me know the result. Thanks.
Yes, it works but for some reason my browser didn’t show it until I shut it down and restarted. Perfect – thank you!
Just wondering what the trick is for getting the photos to show up correctly in the thumb glider version, then the larger version. And I couldn’t get it to show up at all as a featured post. No matter what I do, one or other photo will be “stretched”.
Thanks.
Hai. You can defined your own images for featured post and glider separately by using the custom fields feature:
featured post = feat-img
glider = glide-img
Please try it out. Thanks.
Ronald,
I must not understand what you mean – I can’t get the images to work!
Is this to mean that I have to upload (2) separate sizes for every post? 1 thumb size for the slider, and 1 featured image size for the post and the home page?
The featured image is fine at 273 x 119. But the glider will be distorted (stretched from top to bottom).
Is there a way to upload just one image within the post for the slider and post, and have it appear not stretched or not blurred?
I was trying to understand the “timthumb” issue – I use Hostgator.
Any suggestions on a simple way to get images working with this theme?
Thank you.
It would be nice if you can include your site url so that I can take a look at the problem. Please make sure that when you open the glider.php, you see the get_post_custom_values(“glide-img”) on the php code. If not, you’re still using an older version of this theme because I’ve made a fix recently.
Actually, if you have image attached on post, it will pull the image automatically to use as thumb. The custom fields feature only necessary when you want to use your own manually crop thumb (nicer one without stretch). Is the Timthumb working on your site? If not, you have to contact hostgator support requesting them to whitelist your domain on ModSec. I did that on my site.
Please check whether you’re using the newest version of glider.php (download the theme again and only replace the glider.php) and if possible let me know your site url.
Thanks for the theme. I really love it. However, I keep getting an error message on my front page when I turn the glider on. It say there is no content on page one. loading 1st page.
Also I am still can’t see the feature images though I used the feat-img.
Thanks.
Hai DQ, that happens when there’s a problem with the glider fetching the category to display. For example, a category name “wordpress theme” should automatically be assigned a category slug as “wordpress-theme”, but when you manually insert the slug as “wordpresstheme”, it will detected as one one word instead of two words.
Regarding the featured image, for featured post, please make sure you enter feat-img on the name box and the full url of your image on the value box, then press add custom fields to update it. If you’re setting the image for the glider, please use custom name glide-img and use post-img for the standard post.
Please let me know if you have trouble using this theme again. Thanks.
Thank you, Ronald.
I understand the procedure now. I think I didn’t understand the “custom field” thing.
Now I understand.
But it’s easier for me to just upload a quick thumb if necessary – this way I can avoid the extra script.
Great theme, excellent help from you!
First, thx alot for your work. Awesome theme, really !
Here’s the question; How can I set a limit of post showed on the index page ?
You know, the boxes under the glidder.
The best for my purpose would be 2… Is it possibe ?
Look here :
http://www.lucidik.com/img/ronald.jpg
Beacause I got rid of some stuff in the right sidebar.
Hope there is a way to show only a few post, and not all of them 😉
thx in advace,
ma
Sure. You can do that by inserting a query_posts before the loop.
Please open the index.php and insert the php code below before the “php if have post” loop:
[?php
if (is_home()) {
query_posts($query_string . “&showposts=2”);
}
?]
replace [ ] = <>
Please try it out. Thanks.
Ronald.
You are the one !
thx and greats from Montreal 😉
Hi, Ronald
First, I thank you for you theme. is excellent theme and easy to use.
My English is not perfect, But I will try to explain about my problem to you.
I want to change Postnav picture or another bar picture but I can fine the picture in image folder for change in. please help me.
oop, I forgot. The last question I want to change Header picture but I think the theme header is no picture. Please help me to change in.
Hai Basara, I’m glad you like using this theme. Regarding your questions:
1. Changing ‘postnav’ pictures.
– I’m not really sure which pictures are you referring to. If you’re referring to the default thumbnail (Girls Smiling). You can use your own default image by replacing post-default.jpg inside the image folder, remember to rename your own image to ‘post-default.jpg’ too.
– Please let me know if this is not what you’re referring to.
2. Change Header Picture
– Are you referring to using a logo for the header?
– If yes, please open the header.php and delete the H1 and H2 tags inside the siteinfo div. Uncomment the HTML code for logo to activate it. Then upload your logo.png to the image folder. Please adjust the size of your logo accordingly.
Please try it out and let me know if you need more help using this theme. Thanks.
Hey Ron, I can’t remember how to have the on the bottom bar at the top of the theme. Can you give me some help.
Thanks again,
Jeff
Let’s try that again. I want to change the navigation on the top bar. How do I do that.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hai Jeff, you can change the looks of the navigation by editing the dropmenu.css inside the theme css folder. Please make sure you backup the original file before editing it. Thanks.
Hi,
The theme is awesome, but I have one question about the Featured Video section. When I use the URL code, no video shows up. However, when I use the embed code, 2 videos show up. Also, whenever I use the URL code, I get an error saying that I do not have the required MIME app. Is there any way you can help me with this?
thanks!
OK. Please make sure you follow this example on how to display the video.
i.e I want to display this Miley’s video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA
I’ll only take “M11SvDtPBhA” and put it inside the video box setting and save it.
If you still having error regarding MIME app. It’s hosting related problem. You should contact your hosting provider and ask about it or request them to install it on your server.
Perfect! I was typing in the whole URL. It works great now. A few more questions while you’re here…
1.) I know you recommend the image size for the feat-img to be 273×119. What size do you recommend for the glider-img?
2.) Also, on the ‘Featured News’ section at the top, is there a custom field feature to use for resizing that image as well? If so, what size image do you recommend?
Thanks again for being so helpful!! I will definitely keep using you in the future for my other blogs!
Actually the 273×119 is the standard post thumbnail, it’s better to leave it at default because it may break the block if modified. You can also defined your own standard post thumb by using custom field “post-img” with 273×119 in size.
For glider headline, you can use custom field “glide-img”. Best size is around 150×120.
For featured news, you can use custom fields “feat-img” to use your own image. Best size to use is something around 555 x 200.
Please try it out and let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
Whenever I use custom field feat-img, it only changes the image for the standard post thumbnails (posts beneath the glider), not the Featured News image at the top. I tried using post-img for the standard post thumbnail images likeyou suggested, but it didn’t work like feat-img did. So I guess my question here is… what custom field do I use to change the Featured News image at the top since feat-img isn’t working for it?
Also, glide-img didn’t work for changing the thumbnail images for the glider. When I tried it, it just used the image from the custom field feat-img section.
Does this make any sense at all?
Hai Kayla, please make sure you redownload the latest version of this theme because you maybe using the older version where there was an issue regarding the custom fields.
Just to make sure, you can try opening index.php, check if the file has this code on it:
get_post_custom_values(“post-img”)
glider.php
– get_post_custom_values(“glide-img”)
featured.php
– get_post_custom_values(“feat-img”)
If not, then you’re using an outdated version and please redownload it. Thanks.
Where can I download the latest version because when I click onthe download button at the top of this page, it still gives me the same index.php file (which doesn’t include these codes) Thanks!
It should give you the latest version. Please open it and look for ‘post-img’ anywhere in the index.php code. If it’s there, then you have the latest version.
Just in case, please use this direct download link:
https://magpress.com/wp-content/files/century.zip
Please let me know your site url if you still having the problem so that I can take a look at it. You can use the contact form if you don’t want to disclose it in the comment post. Thanks.
I downloaded the new version from the link you provided and everything is working great! Thanks so much for your help and patience!
Hi Ronald!
I have one more question regarding the ad space. On the 125×125 sponsored ads, I tried pasting my google adsense code into the boxes provided under Theme Options but the ads did not show up. Will I have to go into the file and paste the code into it?
Also, on the 160×600 ad, I paste the google adsense code into the box provided in Theme Options and the ad was displayed, but half of it was cut off. I tried resizing the image through the Google adsense code, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions? Once again, thanks so much for your help. The theme rocks!
Hai, Kayla. Actually the 125 ads are not intend to use for adsense code, just for CPA network banner code which contain images. But since you’re using it, it’s best to just paste the code inside the theme options, maybe it just take time for the adsense to show up.
Regarding the 160×600 ads, do you mean only half of the adsense show up? Sometime it’s normal that adsense only show on part of 600px height ads because of lack of content advertiser for certain pages..
Try using the adsense loop between post feature to check whether the adsense working for your site..
Okay I got it fixed…. thanks for your help!
Hey Ron do you know of a way or a plugin that would allow me to scroll my latest blog posting across the front of my site. Kinda like you have on your front page with or without photo.
I can’t seem to use the headliner because I’m using a page for my frontpage not a blog page.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hey Ron can you recommend a headline kind of like you had for this template. I’m can’t use the headliner because I’m using a page for my front instead the blog.
Thanks,
Jeff
Hai Jeff, if you’re using page as frontpage and you want to use the featured post and headline glider on certain page, please read below text file:
Enable Featured And Glider On Century Theme’s Page
Please try it out and let me know the result. Thanks.
Ron
I kind of figured it out but your way was much better. The only thing is I have 4 categories and the automated process stops at 2. So I’m only automated to 2 posts when I should have 4 rotating.
The previous/next links and everything else is great. Oh one other thing is there a way add image for each category so I have 4 different images for 4 different posts?
Thanks again,
Jeff
Sure, you can do that by using the custom field name “glide-img”. On the edit post panel, scroll down to custom fields, press enter new, insert custom values “glide-img” in the Name box and insert the URL of your image on the Value box, finally press add custom field to update it. Please try it out. Thanks.
Ron,
I wasn’t able to get the “glide-img” and then the url of the photo to work. I also can’t get the headline to rotate past 2 post categories, I have it for 4 categories but it’s not working. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Jeff
Hai Jeff, please open the glider.php and make sure these line of code exist:
get_post_custom_values(“glide-img”);
If you’re seeing “feat-img” instead of “glide-img”, then you’re using an older version of the theme. Please redownload it here:
https://magpress.com/wp-content/files/century.zip
and replace the glider.php only.
Regarding your glider rotation, I’m not really sure what causing it to stop after 2 rotation, can you try adjusting the speed and autorotateconfig inside the glider.php, trial and error it..
Please try it out and let me know the result.
Ron,
Everything is working fine. I still haven’t figure out why the headliner still only rotates 2 posts rather than 4. If you have any thoughts let me know. I’ll check every once in a while.
Jeff
I’m not really sure what causing it. Did you try using other category beside the two that are not showing. Also, please make sure that the category you’re showing doesn’t has the same latest post on it.
Hi Ronald!
So far everything is going great on the blog! I love it the design! I just have a question about the featured post. I entered the post ID under the theme options, and I also added the custom field category (feat-img) so that the image would fit the box. However, whenever I load my webpage, it says No content exists at page 1! Loading 1st page instead.
Do you no how I can fix this?
Thanks a bunch!
This usually happen when the glider script can’t query the category name. Please make sure that your category name is the same as your category slug.
i.e if you have category name ‘Featured Content’, it should have a category slug ‘featured-content’ and not ‘featuredcontent’.
Please check out the category name and its slug of the categories you put on the glider.
I corrected all of my category slugs to match and it’s still doing the same thing. Also, the whole glider slideshow is not even coming up. Any other suggestions?
Hi Ronald… It’s me again!
Sorry for all the questions! Just excited about getting my blog up. I was just wondering if I could change the colors of the blocks for the Page Navigation Bar. On the original, they are red. If so, can you tell me what code to look for in the style.css folder? Thanks a bunch!
Hai. You can edit the menu color by going to the theme css folder, open the dropmenu.css and look for these code below:
#dropmenu li a
#dropmenu li a:hover
You can change the background color to suit your need.
For some reason the only .css file that loaded was the style.css. When I open the css folder and click on dropmenu.css it pulls up my safari window with no webpage loaded. It’s doing that with all of the files in the css folder. I also tried re-downloading the theme again, and it did the same thing.
Please open and edit the css file with a text editor tool. Since you’re using Safari as your default css viewer, then you have to manually open it with a text editor. i.e notepad. Save it as *.css extension after you’re done.
I figured it out… Thanks again for all your help!! Really appreciate it!
Hi ))
For version php >5
error in line 487
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments(get_comments(‘post_id=’ . $id));
Fix bag:
function comment_count( $count ) {
global $id;
$tmp_var =get_comments(‘post_id=’ . $id);
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($tmp_var);
return count($comments_by_type[‘comment’]);
Hi,
I have question about the option “loop in post” and the 336 x 280 field for the code. Is it normal for those ads to show up under the article. And by under i mean it, not just under the text but under everything…
If so I`ll have to do it like G ads – with emble it plug in and custom field…
Is there some way to change the code so that some of the ads show up at the home page between the post like it is PinkVice, ZendPress, RedTone ( I`m talking about 468×60 )
Hai Boris, I’ve updated the theme to include adsense loop between post, adsense above and below single post content. They can be enable or disable inside the theme option. Please download the Century Theme and only replace index.php, single.php, functions.php and style.css. Please make sure you backup any of your custom modified on these files before replacing them.
Please try it out and let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
Thanks! Works perfect 🙂

Hai, Alisa. I’ve fixed the comment_count error, please redownload the Century Theme and only replace or upload the functions.php, legacy-comments.php and comment.css(inside css folder).

Here’s my version of the error is corrected

function comment_count( $count ) {
global $id;
$tmp_var =get_comments(‘post_id=’ . $id);
$comments_by_type = &separate_comments($tmp_var);

}
Your wonderful template works correctly..=)
Hi Ronald,
The theme is working great and all of my viewers love it. Just one quick question…
Is there any way I could add a google adsense banner displaying horizontally in between the recent blog posts (posts under the glider) on the home page?
If so, which folder would I need to add the code and where would I need to add it within the file?
Thanks for the help!
Hai Kayla. I’m glad you like using Century theme. As stated on the theme update above, those features (adsense loop between post and adsense on single post) are added on newly updated theme.
Please redownload the theme and read the changelog.txt carefully on which files to replace. You can also check out the demo page regarding the placement of adsense. See if that what you’re looking for. Please let me know if you need more help. Thanks.
If i download the updated version, will it mess up the layout of my blog at all?
Well, it depends on if you had previously custom modified those files. Just to be on the safe side, please make sure you backup those files mentioned on changelog.txt before replacing them.
Are there any issues with this theme being used in either WP 2.8.4 or Yahoo Webhosting? When trying to use the single.php theme the layout seems to break unless I remove the parameters from comments_template() call (line 40-something on single.php). Once the parameters are removed, the page display fine, but no comments/pings are shown. For now, I’ve decided to remove the parameters. BTW, comments work fine on a 2.9.1 installation with a different host.
Please see: http://hollywoodjunket.com
Hai Dusky, I’m not sure what causing it. This theme was tested on 2.8+ and no problem with it. It maybe the hosting problem or php config on server.
This is a really great theme to use. Coming from me, that’s really saying something.
Question, though. Why do I get a “blank” text area where my content should be for the first couple of posts? When I scroll down and then back up the problem goes away. This also seems to happen when I roll over my menu navigation and the drop downs appear, but only on occasion.
This only happens in IE. What gives?
Love the template. Thanks for the work ethic.
Hey,
is there a way to replace the youtube videos on the sidebar by vimeo & dailymotion ?
Sorry. Only Youtube supported at the moment. Feel free to manually add the code without going through theme options.
mantap…wkwkwkw
Hi Ron,
I have begun to use your theme on my site now. I have customized pretty much of it. Changed it better and it has come pretty good now. My only problem to solve is, how to change the image of every post on the front page and how to use the same images inside the posts.
If I use a image in the post, can it come on the front page as well.
If you have any operational manual, that would really help. I really do know the other way to reach you.
Please help. Believe me you would like the way I have treated your theme.
I figured out how to change those images. I invested time and resources to convert this theme into what I wanted.
Thanks Ron for offering wonderful theme.
Hi Really i found this useful theme for easy customization for better site interactivity. Thanx Again
Another great theme you’ve got here Ronald. I was looking for a single column theme can you recommend me one?
