Recommendations for User

Manual Excerpt

To make your blog looks better, you need to include a manual excerpt for every post (like my blog). You can add that while editing or adding new post. You can, however, leave your excerpt empty and wordpress will automatically make an excerpt for you, but all HTML tags would be auto removed.

Post Image & Thumbnails

Post Thumbnail is a square image of size 125 x 125 pixels, shown at blog index, related posts and search.
Post Image is an image of size 550 x 190 pixels, shown at single post page, below the post title.
To beautify your blog, try to include post thumbnails for every post (if possible).

Featured Category

In most cases, not all your featured posts are in the same category. You can create a new category (let’s say I called it : Featured) and choose it as the “Featured Category” at the theme option page.
Step-by-step guide to activate Featured Gallery

WP-PageNavi Plugin Conflict

Some users reported that WP-PageNavi plugin causes the sidebar and footer to be missing. If you have WP-PageNavi plugin installed, you should either deactivate the plugin or remove the built-in WP-PageNavi plugin to avoid conflict.

Changelog

- Fixed the possible problem: site become blank after loading

Version 1.1.1
- xHTML validation passed
- Better page title in terms of SEO
- Added link to theme support forum in theme option page
- Added template name for archives.php

Version 1.1
- Started to record changelog

Notes

1. You need to install flickrRSS plugin to show your flickr photos at footer.

You have some nice themes. You need to consider branching out with your color schemes, however. All of your themes I viewed have the exact same palette.

Dmitry says:

there’s no built-in pagenavi option in the theme control panel. where i can disable it ?

zen says:

@Dmitry, you have to remove it manually.

Open index.php, look for:

include(‘wp-pagenavi.php’);
if (function_exists(‘wp_pagenavi’)) { wp_pagenavi(); }

Make it comments like below or remove it

//include(‘wp-pagenavi.php’);
//if (function_exists(‘wp_pagenavi’)) { wp_pagenavi(); }

Dmitry says:

oh, thanks! i think it would be better to include this in the “recomendations for users”

zen says:

@Dmitry, you’re welcomed.

Its my fault because I mentioned above that you could deactivae the built-in pagenavi but in fact you couldn’t.

Anyway, you could just deactivate the pagenavi you installed and use the one built-in.

Dmitry says:

and how i can make tag to work again? all my posts automatically cuts with this theme.

zen says:

@Dmitry, tags are not theme-dependent. Anyway, what did you mean by cuts? I can only comment if I know the situation.

Dmitry says:

oops. it seems that html tag disappeared.
i mean “MORE” tag.

zen says:

@Dmitry, did you mean “read more” tag at blog index (when you insert <!–more–>)?

This theme uses excerpt so the “read more” is not being shown here.

Dmitry says:

yes, i mean that tag.
can i control those excerpts?

sorry for my english =)

zen says:

@Dmitry, not for excerpt. If full post is shown, you can. But that feature is not available for this theme. You can edit it yourself though.

arm says:

hi… i just wanna ask about your theme..
can i index your theme to my wp theme directory..
i promise not to change any code or links in the theme..
.-= arm´s last blog ..What Is A Good Parenting Book For A Lenient/passive Parent To Read? =-.

zen says:

@arm, what do you mean by index?

What do you mean by “i promise not to change any code or links in the theme..”? Did you mean you are going to host my theme on your site for people to download?

Also, let me know your site URL.

Bazzy says:

zen says:

@Bazzy, hi, just login into admin panel > Link > Add New

“Featured Posts displayed using animated slideshow”

its really cool.But i dont know how to realize it.

:(

darkforest says:

great work:)

very very nice..!

Atif says:

Nice Theme but I would like to suggest you to add timthumb for post image because it is quite irritating to put image link in the field. If you will add the feature of timthumb then it will become easy to get post image without pasting the image link in the field and it will also zoom+crop+resize the image. I hope you will consider this request.
