    Love the theme, having a few issues. After the theme is loaded and going to my website only the rss feed button shows up? as well when i try making any change in the gazpo Theme Options any changes i make after hitting save it defaults back to the default settings. can you recommend on how to fix these issues.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      By default only RSS button appears. You need to go to theme options and add your twitter and facebook urls, then those buttons will show up as well. There is no problem saving the options in the theme. Please try again and let me know.

  • http://twitter.com/locohippo Loco Hippo

    Still does not save changes? downloaded Amaranthine and installed and that one works fine. I guess i’ll stick with that one insted.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Sorry that you’re having troubles with it. I’ve just tested again, and it seem to save all changes. Did you try on different browser?

  • Steveanon

    I’d like to use this as a cms theme, how do i remove the (number of )comments section that is on every page?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I’m not sure if I understood correctly, do you mean the number of comments appearing under the post title or something else?

    • Steveanon

      Comments appear on every page – I want a several static pages that cannot have comments on them. But other (sub)pages that will need comments.

    Excellent template! Few issues though.
    The top menu in IE explorer is not aligned correctly, but in other browsers it is….
    Also, the italic words () do not show up in the text?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Which IE version you’re using? Also the italic font should work fine.

    • jewea

      IE version 8. I just noticed that the “em” code works here, but not on my site.
      http://www.oranjeverenigingoegstgeest.nl/

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I can see your website menu works fine in IE 8.

    • jewea
    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      That was actually IE7 floating problem, it was working fine in later versions of IE. Anyway I have fixed that, you can test the theme demo on your IE. Please download the theme again as I have updated the files.

    • jewea

      Thanks, problem solved. Still struggling with the fact that italic text disappears.
      When you look in the source of this article: http://www.oranjeverenigingoegstgeest.nl/oranjeverenigingsjaal-voor-ton-van-der-lans/#more-1153
      Look for the phrase ‘dit bedrijf al jarenlang een grote is.’
      In the source you will see that the italic part (Vriend van de Oranjevereniging) does not show up…

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Sorry for that, the twitter widget was causing the problem. I have fixed that, please check download the theme again. Hopefully there is no any other problem now.

    • jewea

      Thanks, fixed again! One more thing; when a lightbox image ops up, the facebook like button stays on the foreground…

    • jewea

      Just to improve things / no comment… after a “–more—” code the ” or <div </div" doesn't give a blank line…

    • jewea

      Whoeps, code shows up. What I was trying to say is that after a readmore you can’t place any blank lines within your tekst, twice a ‘return’ (on your keyboard) doesn’t give blank line.

    • jewea

      Never mind, had some div codes in my tekst… blank line issue was no issue but a stupidity…

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I thought so :) Glad that you figured out everything.

  • http://www.rapidsofttechnologies.com/ Fred Martin

    awesome theme. But I want to make some changes in it so can I do in menu bar.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Sure, feel free to make changes and use it anyway you like.

    Any tips on how to implement a drop down menu?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      For this theme, you might use some plugin for the dropdown menu. I’ll try to implement in next theme.

    • jewea

      Can you make a suggestion? I tried several ones, but no succes…

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can easily add the dropdown menu by adding just CSS code to your css file. Here you can follow the instructions: http://kav.in/wordpress-dropdown-menu-wp-nav-menu-css (remember to change the css class name in the wp_nav_menu located in header file.

    • jewea

      Thanks, gonna give it a try!

  • Jennifer Cowie

    How can I have the front page display a summary of my posts with a read more link to the full article? Right now it is showing everything except the comments, so I’d rather they get to the post page so they can add comments. Thanks … it’s really easy to use except I can’t figure this one thing out!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Jennifer, by default the theme displays the content of the post. It does not limit the lenth. If you want to show only a summary of the post on homepage, you should add a ‘more’ tag in your wordpress post. To add more tag, go to ‘Edit post’, put your cursor where you want to end the excerpted content and click the more quicktag button from the text editor menu. You can also use keyboard shortcut ALT+Shift+T.

  • Jennifer Cowie

    Thanks for your help, Sami! Next rookie question is … where do I add the images for in the slider? I see in the theme editor how to select the category for the slider, but am not sure where the images go.

  • http://www.honkifyoulovejustice.com/ TheTick

    With the slider, is there a way to adjust how it resizes/crops the images so it doesn’t mess up the aspect ratio? I’d rather part of the image get cut off than have to manually resize all of the images.

  • Somnulescu

    I have tried to save settings but it doesn’t work. It doesn’t save them.
    I’m using the latest Firefox and Chrome browsers.

  • Andymallinson

    Hi. I love this theme. However I am new to this and I can’t work out how do upload a main image to the home page as you have done (image of road with apartments and cloauds). Are you able to help?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

       Hey.. You need to enable the slider from the theme options and select a category for the slider. You need to set ‘featured image’ to the posts of the slider category. If you don’t know how to set featured image, try searching Google. If you still have problems, let me know.

      • Andymallinson

        Thanks Sami…solved. What is the optimum dimensions of the image for the slider as it distorts if it is not perfect.

  • bujaka

    awesome theme, thanks :). Just one thing i can’t find, and that is “About me” on the right of the slider on index page?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

       That’s the text widget.

  • http://twitter.com/darrenjadams Darren Adams

    Love the theme, but the theme options aren’t saving. Guess it’s something to do with permissions but can’t work out what I need to change. Any ideas?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

       Try to save by leaving the option ‘Read more’ blank.

      • http://twitter.com/darrenjadams Darren Adams

        Thanks, that worked.

  • Louise

    I would like to use the Amaranthine slider (or something more similar to that one) instead. Would that be possible? If yes, how do I fix it? 

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      That won’t be much complicated if you are familiar with the code. You can copy the slider code from Amaranthine as well as CSS.

      • Louise

        Thanks for answering! I’m no expert, but I usually do okay … but I can’t seem to get this to work. Would you mind giving me some guidance? It would be much appreciated. 

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          ok, I just had a quick look, you’d need to make following changes.

          1. Amaranthine uses bxslider. Copy the bxslider folder in the putte theme, for example in js folder, and call the jquery.bxSlider.min.js file in your theme header. The Amaranthine uses loadbxslider function to load the file, if you want to use that, copy that in your functions.php file. Its located in functions.php file around line 108.

          2. Copy the slider config code from header.php file (around line 57, wrapped in tag) to your theme header.php file.

          3. Copy the slider code. Open index.php file of amaranthine and copy complete div id sliderbox (around line 17 to line 58 ) to the slider.php file in putte theme (remove all code from slider.php). Also remember to replace $args and copy the line $gazpo_settings.

          4. Replace CSS code. Copy slider css code from style.css (around line 183 to 253) file to your style.php file. You can delete slider_css folder and also unlink css file from functions.php line 22 whisch starts with wp_enqueue_style.

          Hope it helps :)

      • Louise

        For whatever reason I couldn’t reply to your latest comment. Anyway, I tried to follow your instructions, but with no luck. I don’t know where I went wrong, but WP didn’t approve of the changes. So, this might be a little out of my league. But thanks for trying. And if you for whatever reason would like to make the changes for me I would be over the moon. But seriously, thank you for a great site, great themes, and support! :-)

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Well, yeah,  I understand it might not be very easy.  I can try to help you, send me a short email on info [at] gazpo so that I get your email address, and send you the files, if I manage to do that.

  • BryerM

    How can i change the color of the post title in on the slider? Also, can i use the slider from gazpoMag theme on this theme?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can edit the slider_css/slider1.css file.
      For the heading search .lof-slidecontent h3 a” and change color in it. For the text change this: “.lof-slidecontent, .lof-slidecontent a”
      You can use the slider from gazpomag theme, you need to copy the slider code and also modify to get the slider category option from the theme options page.

  • Paul

    I too need help with a menu. I want to make a drop down menu at the top but it destroys the whole layout. I don’t know what to do. I’m switching from DIY themes and it really messed everything up.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Paul, sorry, unfortunately this theme does not support the dropdown menu. However you can easily edit to make it dropdown. For example, you can download the silverorchid theme from this site, and copy the CSS code of the menu to this theme and make necessarily changes. If you’d need any help, let me know.

  • Andrei

    Hi,

    I seem to be having some issues with comments – if somebody leaves a comment, it appears normally, but if I receive a pingback, it won’t show up. How can I fix this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      If theres any problem with the comments, you can use a custom comment function.

  • Sergiu Nicola

    It’s awesome! Perfect for blogging.

  • Big Dave

    This is a great theme. Thanks for providing it! My only problem is that links are basically the same color as the rest of the text, so they’re difficult to see. I know very little about computers or programming. I was wondering if you could tell me how to modify the color of the links. Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey dave, you can easily change the link colors and link hover colors. Open style.css file and go to line 107, you will see “a, a:link ” and “a:hover”, just change the colors there.

  • DV

    This is a great free theme, but there is a major problem when inserting images into posts. The words wrap too closely to the image, and it doesn’t change even if you try to add padding through the image settings in WordPress. To make maters worse, if you use a caption under the image, the text of the story will actually run right over the image. Any advice?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Are you fimilar with CSS? You can check the image aligment and margin etc.

      • DV

        Where would I check the CSS code? It looks fine as far as I can tell in HTML editor in WordPress. Maybe there is some problem in the stylesheet?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Do you have any live link so that I can take a look?

  • Szekely

    How can i change color of link? Beacause it changed just when i put the cursor on word.

      You can change the link colors from the style.css file.

    Hello! I am trying to add a new back ground image to the Putte theme and the problem I am having is that I want the center of the page just white and the outside of it to be blue. useing one image for this is not working because it is not centered and if you change the size of the screen when you are viewing it… Is there a way to set the center as its own image so it will not move and then add a blue back ground to the sides?

  • Bruce

    Hi, Its a long shot for a newb, but I am using Putte and its great with wordpress 3.5, but I cant find the description meta tag field under the posts, is this under the control of your theme or is there an integration problem. Thanks for helping!

  • KaPOWitsCHRIS

    Hello. Thank you for making this theme and allowing me to download it for free. I do have one question though, how would I go about removing the “no comments” section on pages where I have disabled comments? For example I disabled comments on my “about” page and I’d rather just have a blank space than it saying “no comments”.

    Thank you.

  • Christina

    Thanks for the great template. How would i go about adding sidebar_sep.png to everything i add in the widget sidebar? That way i have a separator between each category. ie. about me, comments, etc. It seems this separator is only attached to recent comments and categories.

    Thank you!

    #sidebar .widget_archive li,
    #sidebar .widget_categories li{
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right:14px;
    width:115px;
    padding: 6px 0 6px 0px;
    background: url(images/sidebar_sep.png) repeat-x center bottom;
