really very nice theme
thanks for sharing. its good Theme. lol 🙂
Hello,
Thank you for the nice Theme!!!
I have a question, how can I add my own logo instead of text?
Yes. Open header.php and change this line:
[php]
<!– Uncomment To Use Your Own Logo
<a href="<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> Home"><img src="<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>" /></a> –>
[/php]
to
[php]
<a href="<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> Home"><img src="<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>" /></a>
[/php]
Upload your logo inside the theme images folder. Adjust size accordingly.
thanks for this Gr8 theme i will be using it on my blog…
Hi Ronald, thank you for a great theme!! Is it possible to show the full blog posts on the first page without having to go to a second page to read more? Thanks Rebecka
Try open index.php and replace all php codes within the div class post-content with:
[php]<?php the_content(); ?>[/php]
Hi,
any theme`s updates about the option of custom menus available as option after WP 3.0?
Hi Ronald,
I installed theme Newster and even after trying some other themes, I felt this was the best of them all. The only issue I have is that I would have liked to have the categories as well as pages menus near the top. Maybe the pages links’ menu above the site name/logo and the categories menu below the site logo or at the bottom of the header. I am not a php expert… in fact I can barely make out what the programs are saying. Is there some easy way to do this … or can you pls provide me some coding for this. I am sorry if I am asking for a lot.
Thanks,
Talat
Hai. That required an addon coding. Please email me regarding this matter (contact us above).
Hi,
Newster is a great theme.
I have been searching for a good free theme that actually works and can go with my news website. I am glad I found Newster. However I am unable to set up the featured slidebar. The posts are showing up but the images are not. Where do I set up images for featured slidebar and get them to show?
Help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks,
T.
Hai. Please put more than 1 post on the slider for it to work properly. Thanks.
Thanks a lottt for your prompt reply Ronald. Okay, I was a doof there and when I put 3-4 posts, the images are being displayed in the slider.
Another problem that I have been struggling with is that the posts line up only in one column. You can see the site and view the problem if you wish. Around 7-8 articles are being displayed in the first column and the remaining articles are listing on page 2! What can be wrong here. I haven’t tweaked anything from the code so far….
Thanks in advance,
T.
Hi Ronald,
I was able to fix the earlier issue. In fact, I could not fix it but was able to tell the cause. When I change the font size of the page (Ctrl + scroll up/down), it displays fine.. but when I reduce the size the posts line up in a single row. Is there some way of fixing this?
Btw, I do have to congratulate you. While searching for solutions to this problem, I came across Bizine and I must say all these themes are so clear and easy on the eyes, yet extremely handy and usable. I really, really do wish to thank you for making these excellent themes available free. My first adsense profit will go to buying you that coffee and hopefully more in a bid to encourage you and everybody else to share online.
Just let me know in case you have a fix for the problem I mentioned.
Cheers!
It run!. I’ve just installed it…
Thank..
thanks for this Gr8 theme i will be using it on my blog…
hy, this is my favorite theme, but how to add navigation bar from category list
Hai. You can replace the wp_list_pages to wp_list_categories within the dropmenu section in header.php. Please refer to the WordPress codex page for variable available for wp_list_categories. Thanks.
Thanks for help, it works ^_^
I like beautiful.
Hello,
I noticed that the option to customize my background in settings is not there for this theme. Is there anyway to add a custom background on the main page in the borders? Let me know if you can!
Hai. You can try manually edit the style.css > #wrapper to add your custom background image.
Hello,
Love your themes! I am using the Newster theme. Why are my images in my post not showing up? Please help if you can.
I see everything looks fine now. Thanks again for using our theme.
Hi,
When I chose imag-feat the slider does not work. I have a black background.
For the post ID number should I? For articles, I’m one /% postname% /. It is a google translation, sorry.
Thank you
Chrys
Hai. You can find the POST ID by going to wp admin > Posts > Posts and mouseover the post title and you’ll see below your browser status bar “post=[number]”. Take that number and insert it inside the featured slider setting, separate posts by ‘comma’.
