Mantap… mau ijin pakai kang..
this is an awesome theme, going to use it on some of my blogs… thanks!
Need help!!
How can i change the name of the blog on the header for a image?? It’s urgently!
I like so much your job, thanks a lot!!
Good work with this theme guys, it is comfortable to use.
Am helping a friend out setting this theme up and am having issues with the functions.php page. As you will see if you go to the link that there is an error. I have checked and the reference is made to the follow code :
———————————————–
<li id=”comment-”>
————————————————
When validating, I am getting an error saying that the LI hasnt been closed. Any ideas whats up
Can you show me the blog url? so we can check it
Check the site out in IE. Not sure why it keeps giving me an error saying “operation aborted” and then brings me to an error page. Thanks for you help on this.
ok managed to get the site working again but for some reason in Internet Explorer the site crashes. thanks for your reply.
This is a great theme!
I would like help with one thing…I’d like the excerpt for the featured post to be longer, but I can’t figure out how to do that.
Anyone?
Hi Kay, you need to Tweak it out on the home.php, please find on this line
< ?php$texter = get_the_excerpt();
if(strlen($texter ) > 220) {
$texter = substr($texter , 0, 220); }
echo ''.$texter.'[...]';
?>
And change on 220
Good afternoon!
There is a weird thing happening: all the ads display perfectly in IE6 and K-Meleon but not in FireFox3. Si I replaced the ads on the top and on the side with the text widget and put the same images. They still don’t show up in FireFox (but shows up in the other 2).
I then added some text before the picture in the text widget: the text and pictures are shown in IE6 and K-meleon but only the text shows up in FireFox.
Please help!!
FJ. ;O)
Nobody noticed the same issue?
FJ.
Can you show me the Screen shot?
I found the issue. It is with “adblock”, a firefox add-on which sole goal in life, amazingly, is to block ads.
And naming the css “ads-468″ for example made it remove those ads.
I am going to replace the css “ads-” with “images-” and see how it goes.
FJ.
This is my favorite theme thus far. I need help with 2 things. How do I add a drop down menu for my pages. I need that for my about section. Certain plug in’s I use arent working.
Second, I think I know how to edit the 4 ads block but not the single one on the side. I got to appearence into the sideline editor but dont know where to add my code, please help. Thanks
Jennifer, to edit the ad on the side, select the 120×600 sidebar, add a text widget, and paste the code in there.
Great theme Nurudin Jauhari,
How do i change the picture (tea cup on theme demo) on home page.
That image grab automatically from you latest post
Hi
I love this theme. It’s really awesome. I’m a newbie to WP, so still finding my way around things. If you have a moment, can you tell me how the images work. My front page is displaying an image in the featured story, but the image is cut off. Also, the other articles on the page do not have images showing. Do I need to create thumbnails of all images i want to use and once I’ve done that, how do I let the template know how to insert them in the right places.
I’d really appreciate your assistance as I’m spending a lot of time but not progressing.
Kind regards
Hayley
Super!!!!
I’ve tried to edit the code like the other poster’s said but my tags are still overlapping. I hope we can find out how to fix this. Im a novice with this. but this is a great theme!
Great template!
I am using it an loving it, and not only that I am learning from your excellent coding!
You have 1337 coding skillz!

Mas Jauhari, themenya tak pakai ya. Tapi kok rusak.., wah mumet
, dah kadung cinta mati. Hebat tenan, bisa buat seperti ini, maju buat Ponjong

Salam teko Karangmojo.
contact form gives error:
Wrong Security Code
Even though they type the right security code.
saya makai The Original Premium News,tp image di postingan depan ga muncul,menu featured juga ga muncul gambarnya, tlg dikasih pencerahan.
The more I work with it the more this is turning out to be a Great theme, thank you Jauhari.
My last question though
Is it possible to exclude a category from the main (middle) section?
All my posts in my “Featured Category” (under the black bar at the bottom) are also being duplicated in the middle section… Do I have to edit the code in home.php manually and if so, what code can I use to do this?
How do you get feature post pictures to resize to thumbnails 150×150 in category post? It doesn’t resize properly, only left corner.
Thanks
Also, why are there both a home.php and a index.php page as the code is identical on both pages?
And is there a reason for the ayumi-options.php page to be in the folder since this is the Hamasaki Theme and it has it’s own hamasaki-options.php page?
I am battling to set this theme up properly and I’m confused whether these extra pages are making any differences.
Nice theme.
In your FAQ you say:
How to Show Featured Page in Top Post?
Open home.php and find this code
And change it…
But I this is not the same as the code that I find in the home.php file. The closest I could find was this:
have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
Has the code changed since the FAQ was posted?
Thank you, I managed to fix it.
Awesome Template, thank you SOOOOO much!
/ I’ve got few things I’d like to figure out how to do. You can answer me here, or it would be best to email your answer to me.
First, after looking at the screen shot you have up in the post, I’m not sure how to get the second section (the posts with the green headings) to show up.
Second, on the section at the bottom, in the black bar, several categories are showing up, instead of just “featured” or “news” (two categories I have). Is there a way to have just the “News” link show up, even though it may be listed in multiple categories.
Finally, is there a way to set up the archive pages to show a list of all the posts in that category instead of just one at a time?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.
I have include archive.php templates. You can try it.
About second area you need to edit on index/home.php
I’m not sure how to make the edits. Would you do it? For some compensation of course.
fyi, to fix the tags overlap on archive pages:
Looked at your tags overlapping. look at this post in the archives. To fix it just edit this
original css:
.tages {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0px;
}
Mark is out. Change it to:
*/.tages {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0px;
}
*/
Love the template, but I also would like this second section. Can you be more specific about how to edit home.php to get this to work? Thanks.
Great template!
Could you tell me how to show the author profile at the top of the author posts archive?
For multi author like a magazine theme is I think would be nice.
Grazie mille
Paolo
Hi Paulo, You need to edit it manually to do this, I hope in future version I will add this feature
Unfortunately I had to switch to a new theme as I had overlapping words on the category pages and was not able to resolve the problem.
I have not seen the exact same issue as you claim on the Category pages, however. I have encountered a similar issue on the main page and on comments.
Words were overlapping with other words. Mainly the snippet of the post would overlap with the read more and comment links, and on the comments I would have words overlapping with the date and time of the comment.
So, I fixed these issues by editing the CSS. The problem laid in setting the position to absolute. Absolute value is fine for most items on the site (like search bar), but when you have dynamic data such as comments or post snippets which could be variable in size … it can push divs over other divs.
I fixed this by setting the absolute values to static. I suppose the same could be done with the category pages, but since I have not run into that problem just yet I have not gone to fix the CSS there.
Here is what I changed on the CSS template:
First open style.css in your favorite text editor (I use notepad++)
In style.css you will need to edit the following code. This will fix the home page overlapping word issue. I am sure others have had the same problem
Around line 262 find this code:
.lastlast .metameta {
position: absolute;
bottom: 20px;
right: 20px;
}
and change it to:
.lastlast .metameta {
position: static;
bottom: 20px;
right: 20px;
}
Around line 314 find this code:
.posties .metameta {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
left: 0;
width: 315px;
}
.posties .metameta .commr {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
.double .metameta .commr {
text-align: right;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
.tages {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
and change it to:
.posties .metameta {
position: static;
bottom: 5px;
left: 0;
width: 315px;
}
.posties .metameta .commr {
position: static;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
.double .metameta .commr {
text-align: right;
position: static;
right: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
.tages {
position: static;
left: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
Now you will notice that the words are not running together anymore, however. You might notice that the dotted line at the bottom of each post snippet might become overlapped.
This is due to the posties class having a set height. You can either remove the height or adjust the height.
If you remove the height you will not have any overlapping errors any more. If you adjust the height, then it might do ok for the time being, but it will always be prone to being overlapped in the future.
I adjusted my height, and if I run into any future problems then I will just remove the height all together.
The choice is yours, but here is the code you need to change.
Around line 288 find code:
.posties {
height: 180px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
}
and change to
.posties {
height: 230px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
}
or change to this if you want to remove height
.posties {
margin-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
}
I found that a pixel height of 230 is fine for me now. If need be I can remove height in future.
Also, if you notice on the main page where the feature post goes, then you will see that the comment link moved from bottom right to right under the post snippet.
Let’s move it back, but we need to edit two files.
First we will edit style.css since we still have this file open.
Around line 327 find code:
.double .metameta .commr {
text-align: right;
position: static;
right: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
And add this code under it after the } (do not edit the code above)
.commr2 {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
.commr2 {
text-align: right;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 10px;
}
Now open up home.php
Around line 39 find this code:
and change to:
That should move the comment link on the feature post back to the bottom right
Now, we need to edit the comments section and fix it so it does not overlap! This is the easiest fix. Only need to change one code section.
Open file style.css
Around line 633 find code:
.commentmetadata {
position: absolute;
bottom: 10px;
}
and change it to:
.commentmetadata {
position: static;
bottom: 10px;
}
That’s it!
If I run into the category overlapping issue then I will post a fix for it here.
Best of luck to you.
hi there!
nice theme. i’ve a little problem with the comments… they show up funny. http://www.ohikulkevaa.org/tulisavu/?p=90
Hi,
I installed this theme but some issues.
Theme works and loads properly. I understand how to change the number of posts, changing images etc. But the issue that faceis, I use a lot of tags and what happens is in the archives pages, the preview becomes messy. The summary that you automatically grab overlaps with the tags and makes it look bad.
How can I remove tags in the preview? I just want title and summary to be shown? Which file do I need to edit?
Thanks
Vikas
Hi Vikas,
I had exactly the same problem but was not able to fix the problem. I asked for help here, as well as the wordpress forum, but to no avail. I had to change themes. If you figure it out let me know!
yeah I was able to fix. I had to edit the code!
How did you edit the code? Please let me know! I’d like to use the theme again.
Do you know how to resize pictures for thumbnail in category post? It only show left corner.
Thanks
I’m also wondering how we can change the preview image? It only shows the left corner. Is there a way to crop this? The only fix I found was changing the initial uploaded image to the size of the thumbnail. Is there any other option? Is there a way to view a different part of the photo?
I’m also having problems with tags overlapping as well.
Great theme though
Very nice theme. I’ve inserted it in WordpressGala gallery.
the best theme design (iran)
Amazing theme. I say it as a wordpress theme developer myself
