I am glad to use this theme with my new blog. How ever I have some problems and I am looking for your help! I am using it on my blog: http://tech-digit.com/
1. First thing I want to put my 450X92 size logo instead of text ” Tech Digit – Your Ultimate Destination For Technology Needs” How can I do it?
2. I want Google Ads on Sidebar One widget instead of default side! Is it possible to do it?
3. How I can change Search Box to Google Search Box?
I will be happy if you answer with possible solution!
Thanks!
Rohit
Hello, Rohit. I’m glad you like the glossy theme. Regarding your questions:
1. Header Logo
Open the header.php and look for div id “headleft”, delete the h1 and p tag inside it
Then add your logo image url and put a link on it if you want inside the div id=”headleft”
i.e /a href=”your url”/img src=”your logo images” width=”450″ height=”92″ border=”0″ /a/
*Please replace the code properly
After that, you have adjust the #navigation for background blending, open style.css, look for #navigation, add background-color: #000000; on it.
2. Google Ads on Sidebar One widget
Open the sidebar.php, look for the div id=”sidebar-two”…/div under it there is the div class=”sideminibox”/ADVERTISEMENT CODE/div. Copy the sideminibox div wrapping the advertisement code and paste it inside div id=”sidebar-one”../div, remember to put it before the “php if dynamic sidebar” thing, so that when you use widget, it wouldn’t mess up the advertisement box..
3. Google Search Box
Open the sidebar.php, put your google search box code inside the div id=”search”…put your code…/div
You have to manually adjust the css styling for the search box to fit your need.
Please try out the solution above..Feel free to let me know the result..Thanks.
Well thanks for great tips, I am changing it now and will inform you results!
By the way I noticed that theme is not working properly in Internet Explore browser! Will you check it?
Hi, great themes. Any chance of making this theme with another color like Blustic?
Hi! I’m lovin’ the theme! It’s really great..However I’ve noticed that after adding my Amazon Store to it, the navigation began to look a little weird in Firefox (& much worse in Internet Explorer)..I’ve been trying to figure out how to fix it but still no success..Please advice on what to do..Thanks
I noticed that you have manually deleted some of the codes and missing closing tags on the page template you’re using. Please let me know how do you want your page template to be and I’ll make it for you and send it to your email. Thanks.
Thanks Ronald! I was able to solve the problem in firefox. I found out that I just have to adjust the size of the page in order to view it correctly. =)
But still, I’m having problems with IE 6, I can’t fix the navigation and also, the light blue padding in “featured” and “RSS” image are visible. I also tested on your demo, it’s the same. Could you help me fix this please..Thanks
Hai Jen. I’ve sent you an email regarding this issue. Please check your email. Thanks.
It’s now lookin’ fine in IE 6..Light blue padding in “Featured” is still present but it’s ok..Important thing is the navigation is now fixed..Again, thanks Ronald =)
Hi, I use this theme, but my widget will show error cannot open, when I add widget or edit widget. I’ using wordpress 2.8.4.
Hai, Kevin. It worked fine on my side. Did you edit the code inside the sidebar.php? Please let me know what kind of item you’re trying to add inside the widget that showing error. Thanks.
How do I get the featured to work?
It doesn’t show on my website, how do i get it to start working, please help.
Hai. You have to enable it first inside the theme option and choose a category to feature and save it.
Please try it out and let me know the result. Thanks.
Hi,
first of all, great theme..I’ve been using it for a while now.
About the featured gallery; while it is loading it shows a full size picture and text overlay over the first post. Is there a way to make the gallery load before everything else? Because with the content I have on my main page it can take several seconds for the gallery to load, causing a not so good first impression.
Also I’d like to point out that leaving out the title for any widget causes the layout to be messed up; an easy fix i found for this is to put at least a space in the title.
Any ideas on the gallery would be appreciated, thanks.
Hi Guys, thanks for a great theme. I use it for my site www.insidewomanmag.com. I just wanted to find out if I can increase the advert blog on the header to be a bit bigger than it currently is? Thanks for your help.
Hai you can try adjusting the width % of #headleft and #headright inside the style.css.
