CrossBlock Wordpress Theme 1.2
[ Downloaded 13116 times | ]

Check back soon, an important update (wordpress thumbnail feature and version checker) is rolling out to all Zenverse themes, starting from the latest theme.

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.

Notes

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

Linda says:

Hi this is cool, two columns but very wide, more things to put, also no feeling of empty at left or right side, hehe… Thanks for the theme! :)

Francis Men says:

Congratulations. Great Work !!!!!!

I can’t seem to find the license. Is it GPL or Creative Commons ? I could use the themes with the link the designer, but not with the hosting ads :(

zen says:

@Francis Men, sorry I can’t remove that. :( Probably you should look for other free themes out there or buy a theme.

Francis Men says:

@Francis Men, No Problem. Your work is excellent. Are you considering developing premium themes for sale ?

zen says:

@Francis Men, definitely yes in the future. I need to build up the site’s popularity first, but at the same time I need to earn some bucks, thats why the links were there. Sorry.

I have plenty of work to do before releasing paid themes, the first thing would be re-design this website.

Thank you for understanding.

Makaveli says:

Firstly my English sucks sorry for that.

You got realy ability and you are doing good templates.How do you learned to do design like that?

Lessons(which one)? Books? Web?

zen says:

@Makaveli, I learn myself and sometimes through the internet. Cheers.

tobiCOM says:

WOW! i like all your Themes! Mostly the Lunated Theme! thx

oguzhan says:

can we have a different footer. I dont mean the spot where the twitter/photos are, I mean WAY below. I dont want reverse phone or web hosting there. any ideas?

Ahan says:

Super awesome theme!

reebok says:

i like very much

Oguzhan Yaglidere says:

Not sure if im the only one who saw this or if this is part of the them but if you demo this theme (crossblock) and view the header image, there are diagonal lines behind it. Can that be fixed (assuming its not supposed to be like that.

Image related to this concern can be found on this link

zen says:

@Oguzhan Yaglidere, that is part of the theme. If you want to remove it, open header.php

look for :

<div class="onethousand_wrap logo_extra" style="position:relative;">

replace with :

<div class="onethousand_wrap" style="position:relative;">
Oguzhan Yaglidere says:

@Oguzhan Yaglidere,
Thanks for the fast reply. it didnt seem to make a difference.
Maybe we are not talking about the same thing.
here is a closer image of my question
I doesn’t seem to be part of the theme because it ruins the borders on the whole post. up to you
http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/ad161/thisoguz/Screenshot2009-10-30at105652PM.png

zen says:

@Oguzhan Yaglidere, You said “header” in previous comment. This is not header. lol.

Anyway, to fix it, open style.css, look for:

.post_image {
background-image:url(images/postimage_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
margin-left:-20px;
margin-right:-20px;

replace with:

.post_image {
background-image:url(images/postimage_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
margin-left:-17px;
margin-right:-17px;
Oguzhan Yaglidere says:

@Oguzhan Yaglidere,
oops. haha
Thank you so Much.
Amazing stuff you got

Deepak says:

Amazing work guys….:)

Claes B says:

Hi,
Amazing work! Is it possible to get rid of the last part of the footer?

Kikel@? says:

Hi,
I’m french guy who’s blogging a little uder an old dotclear platform and i’ve been looking for more than one year for a great free theme to migrate to wordpress. And spickyboy show you.
Great work. Can I use crossblock theme with modifying CSS and colors and keeping links in the footer.
Thanks so much. I swear i will use Paypal.

zen says:

Sure, as long as you keep the links. Cheers.

umair says:

hey my website .. has your theme .. great work guys but the problem is one that when i click on subscribe to feed through email .. feed burner says feed does not allow subscription by email .. although they do but only when using the theme button they wont .. other then that a bigger more serious problem is the related posts under every post they are not showing the thubnails of the post rather they are showing huge images as they were before being adjusted :O

zen says:

Did you refer to other theme? Crossblock does not have a feedburner subscribe form, if I am not mistaken. Also, please post this topic at the forums, it’s easier for me to provide a fix there.

shuyinz says:

Hey ! ( i’m french so, sorry.. my english sucks ! )

I’ve take the CrossBlock template.
The problem is : when i activate the “featured content” slideshow, my “home” page is totally white ! All my website disappear !

Do you know what’s the problem ?

zen says:

No user has reported this problem. I tested the latest version of crossblock and its fine for me.

Did you edit any file?

nel says:

Hi,
Crossblock do not function with wordpress 2.9
White page blank appears !

zen says:

Tested and it works. Most likely your plugin is causing the problem. Do you have WP Page-navi plugin?

Try deactivating the plugin one by one.

Adem says:

I have it working on 2.9 and I initially had the blank page problem and found that it was the Google Analyticator plugin. Once that was disabled then it all worked fine.

p.s. The Theme is brilliant

Chat says:

thank you admin.

Hi,
Amazing work! Is it possible to get rid of the last part of the footer?

Best regards
Claes
