Thanks for your nice words. I am happy that you like the theme.
Awesome.
This is great theme.
Thanks!
I am using your theme for my news site but after menu added in Primary or Secondary only last added menu only displaying but not others.
These are from demo blog:
- Pages Menu(The Top Menu): http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3059/pagesmenu.jpg
- Navigation Menu(Main Menu): http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2649/navigationmenu.jpg
Steps:
- Create 2 menus. Do not forget to click the Save Menu button.
- Select the menus from Theme Locations. Again, do not forget to click the Save button.
If you could not do it yourself, e-mail me your admin username and password. My e-mail id is in Contact page. I will try to fix it.
Thanks for your quick response and for theme. Now I can able to add menus properly.
Do have any wordpress plugin for RSS to blog post.
no, i do not code plugins.
you can search on google: “wordpress rss to post plugin”, “auto blogs plugin”, etc. there are some. but i am not sure, they are good or bad for your blog.
Will you please tell me how to make a drop-down menu in the navigation.
Thanks in advance.
You need to set the menu links like this: http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2649/navigationmenu.jpg (look at the dropdown, dropdown level 1, etc)
Thanks for the quick reply, i really apreciated it.
Will you please tell again how make a good meta box?
My problem is:
I have (suppose) three category like WORLD NEWS, POLITICS, NATIONAL NEWS etc.
When the mouse hover at the TITLE of each category, the same balloon (or the meta box) appeared with the same excerpt in it.
For example:
THE WORLD NEW TITLE…. is the title, and when a mouse is hovered on it, it shows in a box:
“aaaaa.aaaa.aaaa.aaaaaaaaaaa.aaaaaaaaa.aaaaa etc….” (excerpt)
When the mouse is hovered again in other title, the same excerpt kept on showing like
THE NATIONAL NEWS TITLE
“aaaaa.aaaa.aaaa.aaaaaaaaaaa.aaaaaaaaa.aaaaa etc….”
AND
THE POLITICS TITLE
“aaaaa.aaaa.aaaa.aaaaaaaaaaa.aaaaaaaaa.aaaaa etc….”
and so on. Can you please show me how to solve. Thanks in advance once again.
Do you see the same problem in demo page: http://www.wordpressthemesbook.com/demo/wtb-news/
I think you did not download the theme from this page. Please download the theme from this page and install it. If you see the same problem, tell me your website url.
I think i download it from THIS page.
My site is http://www.zawlaidi.com
The demo page is superb. Nothing to complain. I download it AGAIN now and install it soon. Thanks for your valuable responses.
Lo!!! It’s working. Where did i download this theme? Let the download site put the original theme for download so that nobody got that same idiot mistake i have already had. WTB is the greatest free theme.
Please visit my site and see why the FEATURE section (with the largest image displayed) in upper left is rolled up and THE AUTHOR AND COMMENT >> link had been not shown?
Can you please suggest again?
i do not see a problem now.
It’s because i put some portion of the story posted in the EXCERPT section in the admin panel.
What is the advantage of buying your theme?
Do you accept paying you in Indian National Rupee (INR) through State Bank of India (SBI) or other Indian national bank like ICICI or Axis Bank?
(I don’t have paypal and mastercard or other card to do internet payment.
yes, do not use the excerpt section.
this is a free theme. if you use, you must protect the links in footer.
there is not a paid version of this theme. free version is the only version. if you want me to create a new theme for you, you need to have a paypal account.
I want a paid version of your theme. How much will it cost me in INR?
Also,
Can you make a little plugin?
I will tell you (later) details of plugin if you can make it.
Hello,
Great template. I cannot get my photos to appear on the home page. Can you please help?
I wasn’t able to use your advice above (If you add an image url in post but you do not see a thumbnail on homepage, open wp-content/themes/wtb-news. Make the chmod of /cache folder 775 or 777.)
The images appear in the posts, but not on the home page main feature or category features. Thanks!!!!
Theme does not use the image in post as thumbnail. You need to manually add an image as thumbnail.
While you are writting a new post, under Content field, you can see an IMAGE field. You need to write the url of the image there. You must use http:// and image must be in your server(website).
Screenshot: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1408/wtbnews.gif
And your blog title is long, so:
- open style.css.
- find fooleft
- make the width 500 or 600. like this: width:600px;
- find fooright
- make the width 200. like this: width:200px;
- save the style.css.
then the footer will be better.
Thank you for making a good template. I would like to know is there a way for me to disable the “No Photo available” box if I decided not to have any photo in the post? Thanks.
Sorry, no. This theme needs at least one thumbnail. Otherwise you will see that image.
But you can do it yourself, if you now css. I do not change the files because this is a sponsored theme.
Theme is perfect to be used for news website
Hello,
First Aswsom Theme.
Problem that i’m facing is with the thumbnail pics it doesn’t show up. Tried thing’s you told but it didn’t work.Anything i need to edit in CSS or the Picture size.
If you see “No Photos” sample image instead of the thumbnails, that means you did not add an image in a correct way.
If you see a title instead of thumbnails, that means, you need to change the chmod permission of cache folder in theme directory. Make it 755 or 777. Thumbnails will be in this folder.
Do not use .png photos.
If you tell me your blog url, i can try to understand the problem.
Hi, great theme! i’m loving it.
I just updated to WP 3.0.1 and the “Menus” stopped functioning. The menus appear on the blog site but when trying to modify through the admin panel, it doesn’t show me any options, and cannot save nor select categories to put in the Primary Menu and Secondary Menu…
Did you happen to have similar problems sent to you? Any suggestions?
THanks!
i updated the demo blog and menus are working fine with 3.0.1, too.
activate the default theme(twentyten) and try the menus. if there is a problem, update the wordpress files. if there is not a problem, upload the wtb news theme files again and reinstall the theme.
download the theme from this page.
Thanks admin,
I redid the whole installation, for both WP3.0.1 and your template files (downloaded from this site) but didn’t solve my menu problem.
I forgot to mention that I have “multisite” enabled for my wordpress, and somehow it interferes with the WP nav_menu settings. Once I took out the multisite, it did work.
Not sure what this causes, but it’s not your template’s issue, but I think the WP issue.
Thanks for all your help! greatly appreciated.
yes it’s about multisite. i tried the theme with multisite feature. first it said “theme does not support….”. then i changed the theme. and reactivate the wtb theme. now menus are working in both main and subblogs.
try this please: http://osdir.com/ml/wp-testers/2010-06/msg00242.html
Greate Template, amazing, better than many wordpress theme selling with high fee.
thank u soo much.
I want a theme and a little bit of plugin. My wordpress site http://www.zawlaidi.com has registered users as other wordpress site. I want a script that will restrict text select, copy paste and right click unless they are registered user and must login. Can you make me such script and theme? How much will it cost in INR?
i sent you a detailed e-mail.
there is not a perfect solution about this but you can use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-copyrightpro/.
Hola, muy buena plantilla, pero no puedo hacer que se vea mi imagen, lo subo desde mi servidor y no da resultado, tambien seguí el consego de cambiar los atributos a la carpeta cache, pero nada, quizas hay algo que no entendi. Esta es mi web: http://www.postmundo.com
Gracias.
problem is about chmod permissions of cache folder. make it 775 or 777. if you can not do it yourself, send me an email that contains the username and password of your ftp. you can find my email at Contact page.
please ask in English.
Hi,
I need help with the theme, i put the url of my image, but it doesnt work, whats is happen, i follow the instructions, but dont work, thanks
please read: http://www.wordpressthemesbook.com/wtb-news/#comment-3009
Hello!
Thanks for this great theme. I was looking for something like this for a long, long time.
Anyway, everything runs smoothly except tabber on the upper right side of the page. I can’t get it to work properly.
I will be very glad for any help.
Thanks.
i think you did it. i checked your website with ie7-8, firefox and chrome. tabber is working.
Yes. It is working right now but earlier there was a problem. I don’t even have any idea why. Maybe some plugin?
Anyway thanks for the reply.
Also (sorry for double post) is there any way to make translation for this theme?
download notepad++ program. open the php files in theme folder and find the English words like “Leave a comment”. and translate them. i think you need to translate 10-12 words.
homepage=index.php
categories, tags=archive.php
sidebar=sidebar.php
header=header.php
Thank you very much I’ll try to translate template a bit later. The main issue right now is the problem with logo. I need it to be bigger but header is not “scratching” properly. In the end I have logo which is too big for header. Is there any option to fix this?
I’m impressed with your patience.
@stanleyek,
- open style.css,
- find #header and change the height value. for example, make it height:175px;
- your logo can be 500px width,
- also find .search and make the margin value like this: margin:10px 0 0 0;
10px means, 10px from the top. you can change that number to center the search part in header.
Works very well. Thanks.
I sent you an e-mail about your other question.
I changed the chmod permission of cache folder in theme directory to 777 but The images not appear in the home page
pleas help me
note:I’ve Arabization template
use jpg pictures only. gif or png does not work.
thank you admin
i have got it
can you replace the search box in this theme to adsense search box
any how
open searchform.php and delete the codes. do not delete line 1 and 9. paste your adsense code between 1 and 9 lines.
Great theme. My home page lays out just as it is supposed to. When a post is clicked on and you go to that page, the column on the right do not appear on the right. They appear below the post and the form. How can I repair this? Thanks.
i think you copy-paste the posts. some of your posts have problems. for example this is normal: http://allthenewsonline.com/eschool-news-offers-key-tips-for-overcoming-it-challenges-in-schools/22144/
enter Posts/Posts, open a post and choose HTML, instead of Visual from top right of the content field. then search the post and delete codes like < br />, *   ;, and other html codes. there should be only words.
My Site is not showing any image in thumbnail. Any suggestion and help, please?
cache folder’s(in theme folder) chmod permission must be 777 or 775. if you already tried that, problem is about your server.
it is already chmod to 777 but still not working.
why did you change the theme info in style.css? it’s forbidden.
I am sorry. I din’t notice about your forbidden rights. I just test my knowledge about php or server script. I have replace it with the original but thumbnail images still not workin’.
change the theme folder name. do not use blank space or _ in title. it can be the problem.
send me your ftp username-password, wp admin username-password. my email is in Contact page.
when trying to save the setting, it display error message below
:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\wtb\wp-content\themes\wtb-news\functions.php(58) : eval()’d code:14) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wtb\wp-content\themes\wtb-news\functions.php on line 505
wordpress version : 3.0.1
please fix it
thank you
do not delete any code in functions.php. do not use xammp. use xammplite or a host.
i try to use xampp lite and the same error appear
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampplite\htdocs\wtb\wp-content\themes\wtb-news\functions.php(58) : eval()’d code:14) in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wtb\wp-content\themes\wtb-news\functions.php on line 505
thankyou
this kind of problems are because of blank lines in php files. upload the functions.php again.
sorry, i can not understand the problem because i can not see your local server. try the theme on a host.
and when i try to upload it from the upload themes menu in the admin panel, the error message is
******
do not use that function for magazine style themes. this kind of themes need to be uploaded by ftp.
Hy!
I found this theme 2-3 months ago, and I want to thanks it.
But, I have a problem. The AJAX TABS (About, Latest news, Popular posts) on the sidebar don’t appear when I use Google Chrome, but it was working with Firefox. But, I’ve updated the new Firefox 4, and now it doesn’t work with it.
Have you got any idea about it? What should I do? Is the problem in the php-code, or should I set something in the browser?
Help please!
Thank you for your reply.
i am using the latest versions of both chrome(11.0.696.65) and firefox(4.0). and that part in theme demo working very well.
maybe your website’s problem is because of a plugin that you are using. deactivate the plugins one by one check the tab part.
Thanks the fast reply, I’ll try it.
Hy!
Problem solved. I had to change the ANSI code to UTF-8 without BOM in the Index.php.
Thank you for your kindness.
Best wishes!
