http://spectacu.la/forum/ A great WordPress community en Thu, 17 May 2012 00:46:14 +0000 http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-header-text-instead-of-links#post-158 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:14:53 +0000 clopinettes 158@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Al, just to give more detail:</p> <p>You can replace the following on line 75 of header.php with the text of your choice:</p> <ul>&lt;?php echo $links; ?&gt;</ul> <p>Remove the <ul> and </ul> tags and everything in-between and replace with your text. Take a backup if you need to. That may do the job. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-header-text-instead-of-links#post-157 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:55:53 +0000 clopinettes 157@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi Al and thanks for your donation. By default the theme just shows links or pages there, or you can turn it off entirely on the 'Customise the theme' admin page. One thing that could be done is to dig into the code and add your text by hand.</p> <p>We may re-visit the theme in the near future in order to allow for some of the newer features available in WordPress, and we can make the top-right space a widget area instead. That would allow for the feature you ask for by letting you insert a text widget there. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-header-text-instead-of-links#post-156 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:18:32 +0000 bikeal 156@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I was wondering if it's possible to have text instead of the links option on the top right side of the Header in the Blend 1.5 theme? I would like to enter an address here instead.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Al </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-links-question#post-155 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 14:23:36 +0000 gracel 155@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Thank you so much!!!!! Now, it's perfect!!!! </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-links-question#post-154 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:14:38 +0000 clopinettes 154@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi Grace and thanks for joining!</p> <p>If you go to Appearance then Customise the Theme you'll find you have a wide range of options. In the area for header you have a choice of what appears (if anything) in the right hand space of the header - this is the option "Header links space" and you can either set it to off, Links, or Pages.</p> <p>I hope that helps! </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/blend-15-links-question#post-153 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:37:04 +0000 gracel 153@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am very happy with Blend 1.5 but can't get one thing to work. When I add to Links, I am using an Image for the logo. That looks great, but for some reason the link without the logo is also appearing in the upper right corner of the site: <a href="http://www.blueribbonaffair.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blueribbonaffair.org/</a> Any help is greatly appreciated! </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/spectaculas-site#post-152 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 09:07:43 +0000 clopinettes 152@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi Curt - as discussed by e-mail, we've refunded your fees.</p> <p>So that others know - I'm commenting here to mention that, sadly, the current theme used at Spectacu.la is not available. However, we're planning fresh investment into the club later in the year and will be offering a range of themes based on the framework that Spectacu.la and sites such as <a href="http://www.telecoms.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.telecoms.com</a> use. This is a rather powerful framework with a lot of wonderful features and which will also make maximum use of WP 3.0 features. If you thought WordPress was good, just wait till you see what can be done in the future!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dave. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/spectaculas-site#post-151 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:56:46 +0000 curtk 151@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>I was hoping by becoming a member that I would gain access to the theme that this website uses. It is incredible!

In general our work should be fine on PHP5, but obviously testing for all version of PHP and the myriad of configurations is almost impossible, so it's hard to be 100% sure.</p> <p>Glad that you got sorted, however. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/preview-image-picker-not-functioning#post-149 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:34:11 +0000 mrochte 149@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Also PHP5 fixes yesterday's problem. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/preview-image-picker-not-functioning#post-148 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:32:53 +0000 mrochte 148@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Nevermind - DOH!

I manually installed the new caribou theme (from the link above) through <a href="http://ftp." rel="nofollow">ftp.</a> I unzipped the file in the themes folder which created a caribou folder.</p> <p>Unfortunately - All I get is a blank screen both when I preview it in the themes section and when I select it as my main theme. I get a grey screen and nothing else visible on the site. </p> <p>I tried this twice now with the same results. I am glad I didn't use my main site to test this. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/where-to-paste-google-analytics-html#post-146 Sat, 16 Jan 2010 11:47:23 +0000 clopinettes 146@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Don't bother pasting it in.</p> <p>Instead, use one of the many Google Analytics plugins that are available at <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/</a></p> <p>Dave </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/where-to-paste-google-analytics-html#post-145 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:23:53 +0000 sfogden 145@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Here's another newbie question. Where do I paste the Google analytics code. Their instructions say past the code "immediately before the &lt;/body&gt; tag of each page you are planning to track."<br /> Uh. . .

To get rid of it for the time being, you could try placing an empty text widget in the space. Unfortunately that will still leave a small space due to the padding on that widget.</p> <p>Alternatively, a more technical approach is to go into sidebar.php and remove all of the code between lines and 7 and 31. That will remove the default navigation behaviour.</p> <p>The behaviour is quite typical in WP - if there are no widgets in the main sidebar, default to some basic widgets. However, we can see the problem... a user may wish to implement one or two thin sidebars only and they won't want the default navigation any more. Caribou 1.0.7 is already out on our site, but to get it into the Wordpress.org repository we need to make some changes to the back-end Ajax.</p> <p>So, we'll line up the change for Caribou 1.0.8 and that should be released within a couple of weeks, though it could take longer before the repository sees it.</p> <p>I hope that helps,</p> <p>David. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/sidebar-wont-go-away-clear-out#post-142 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:48:19 +0000 sfogden 142@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>I've removed widgets from 300px sidebar &#38; added widgets to the 160px sidebar. The 300px sidebar didn't go away. In the Widgets area, the 300px doesn't have anything placed on it, but it is displaying several items (categories, pages, &#38; meta).

Make sure you're in the right forum for that theme or plugin.<br /> 2. Create a new topic for each question - this helps others find problems and solutions.<br /> 3. Make sure you include the version number of the theme or plugin in use, the version of WordPress you're using and, if you can find it, the version of PHP and mySQL you're using. These all help us to reproduce the problem you're experiencing.<br /> 4. Add a link to the website in question, especially if the problem is in the display of the theme. If you're working on a closed development server, take a screenshot, upload it somewhere, and post the link instead - less useful, but still helpful.<br /> 5. Be patient - we don't watch the forums 24/7, sadly, but we do our best to respond promptly.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>David &#38; James. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/sidebar-wont-go-away#post-140 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:39:01 +0000 clopinettes 140@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Hi Steve and thanks for joining us.</p> <p>You should really post this question in the Caribou Topic (http://spectacu.la/forum/forum/caribou-support) if you can re-start the thread there that would be awesome.</p> <p>If you can add information with a link to the site or a link to a screenshot of work in progress I can check what's happening and let you know if there's a workaround. Can you also let us know the version of the theme you're using, the version of WordPress, and what plugins you have active? This will all help us to reproduce the problem you're experiencing.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dave. </p> http://spectacu.la/forum/topic/sidebar-wont-go-away#post-139 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:51:25 +0000 sfogden 139@http://spectacu.la/forum/ <p>Using Caribou Theme.
