Question - when I use the “search” option, I can only find articles that fit within my “publishing criteria”. Eg 2 per page. The problem I am running into, and dont know how to fix, is how to add “next” or “more”, as some subjects I cover, I may have a dozen or so related articles.
For example, I have over a dozen articles in the Politics category, but can only view 2 articles. Any suggestions?
You can email me direct if you wish.
Thanks

It should show the “Next Page” there. Perhaps you downloaded before the last update. Try downloading again replace the index.php file.

I’m using your theme in my blog (I love it, BTW) but I need ot know how to change something. I have a few pages and it insists upon showing the category of them and an RSS feed link…

An example…where I do I change that out at?

I love your theme it fits my needs perfectly. Your code is clean and well arranged which made it easy for me to make a few changes.
One question, are you going to make the changes to make the theme widget friendly? i dont know php just basic editing but no coding skill so i am stuck when it comes to adding widget support.

Ignore my request for help, I no longer have a blog to worry about. :)

Is it possible to make the theme a fixed width?
Thanks

Very nice theme. Thanks. How do I disable the link mouse-over popup? With the orange/bluish text… it’s the only thing that doesn’t seem to fit in with the theme.

Open your header.php and delete this
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/js/addEvent.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo(’template_directory’); ?>/js/titles.js"></script>

I have fallen in love with this theme, but I know very little about php or css, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I would like to turn the post titles orange, and keep the white mouseover effect. How would I go about doing that?
July 7th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
open your style.css file and look for,
.content h2 a, .content h2 a:visited {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
delete that and add these there ,
.content h2 a, .content h2 a:visited {
color: #d85b00;
text-decoration: none;
}
.content h2 a:hover{
color: #FFFFFF;
}

Thanks a lot! That was a huge help

One more question for you. In IE, it seems that linked images have a purple border. You know any way I could change it to say, white?
Thanks!
Winston
BTW, this is the best WP theme I have seen, and I have see a lot.

In your image tag where the blue border apears , put border="0" .
i.e <img src="image.jpg" border="0" />

Hi, I just have a quick question for you. I’m using the Lazy-K gallery and have comments enabled for my pictures. These comments used to show up under the picture they were published under, but now they show up on every page that contains the image code. Any ideas? I tried what Lazy-K had listed in their FAQ, but nothing seemed to help. TIA.
October 16th, 2006 at 8:10 pm
Could you show me some where this prob is occurring? I did not understand it . Also please give me the link to Lazy-K gallery
October 17th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
Sorry, meant to post back here after I got off work. I was editing the wrong comments file so it’s all fixed now. Sorry to bother you about this, it’s really a beautiful theme.

Thanks Mike .

After spending several days reviewing themes I have selected yours for my blog….great work. I have a couple questions.
First, I would like to have a calendar. Do you have one that can be installed?
Second, I would like a drop down “Archives”. Are you aware of one?
Third, When an image thumbnail has a full sized version it needs to open into a seperate page. How do you do that?
Thanks, Ray

I updated to WordPress 2.1 and there was a MySQL error in the sidebar in your DarkPad theme underneath Search. I use your theme, like it and corrected your query for the new database structure.
I changed line 23 in sidebar.php FROM:
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->linkcategories”);
Changed TO:
$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results(”SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE link_count!=’0′”);
I believe this problem is because link categories are now integrated into the main wp_categories table.
It works! No error. Wanted to share this with you and all other users of this excellent theme.
Cheers,
Adam

Also, one more change that doesn’t fix an error but properly styles the Blogroll links. For design completists.
Change line 30 FROM:
cat_id); ?>
Change line 30 TO:
cat_id,”",”"); ?>
Now, the white diamonds will return (as Elizabeth Taylor would say!) and the text will be the proper size.
Cheers,
Adam

Sorry to post again but the “no code in comments” rule change the make the style line change above:
Line 30 CHANGE the function FROM:
wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id);
Line 30 CHANGE the function TO:
get_links($link_cat->cat_id,”",”");
Hopefully that works. Please ignore the comment above or delete.
Cheers,
Adam
