  • Adam

    Recently started a WordPress using this theme but having an issue with images not appearing correctly in the sliders am I doing something incorrectly? Http://207rewind.com

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Whats the problem?

    • Adam

      I think I figured it out just didn’t realize I had to use the featured image box for the images to show. One thing I am having issues with though is I can’t have captions because the code appears in the slide instead of the picture description and can’t seem to figure out how to get the Carousel posts to work. Forgive me I’m new to this all and literally learning as I go using google search and forum posts etc.

    • Adam

      Oh and word wrapping around pictures in posts as well, when I insert an image align it which ever way right or left the words don’t wrap around the image as seen here: http://207rewind.com/wiz-khalifa-and-mac-miller-set-for-scarborough/

    • Adam

      Widget RSS and Twitter Counter doesn’t seem to be working properly either I entered my correct twitter name and it does correctly link to it but does not show the correct twitter follower count

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Adam, sorry you’re having trouble. There was a little problem with the Twitter/Feedback widget, I have fixed it. Could you download the theme again and try. There is no problem with image alignment. To make Carousel work, you need to enable it from the theme options.

  • Duyarliads

    images not appearing. what can I do?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to add featured images to the posts.

  • http://www.techyard.net/ Avinash

    How to show thumbnails in posts in the homepage like in the Amaranthine theme.Iam not using the slider and carousal.I have the post thumbnails ( featured image ) set for all the posts.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      you will need to change the posts loop for that, and include the post featured image along with the post excerpt. You can copy the code from amaranthine theme and make necessary changes.

      What errors you get?

  • Adam

    Sorry to bug you again but the featured category doesn’t seem to be working exactly the way as pictured in the screen shot. Images are showing up above title not with the title next to it causing the box to stretch down any idea how to fix this and thank you for all your help the last few days. The theme is really attractive and very nice I appreciate you making it available to us all very nice!!! Can see an example of my issue here: http://207rewind.com/ please reference the featured category titled entertainment.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey Adam.. Sorry, I had updated some style, so that caused the problem, I have updated the theme files. You can either download it again, or simply add this in your style.css file: .feat-cat .right ul{
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
      }

    • Adam

      Perfect all fixed thank you! I like to insert images into my posts and have the words wrap around them but doesn’t seem to work on this them anyway to fix this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Yes, there was some problem with the wrapping text around the images, but thats fixed already. You can download the theme again and replace style.css file.

  • Superpremionet

    i send you an email with the screenshot…

  • Overtappeal

    Whoa what a great theme. I just have on question: when I use [gallery] (regardless of how many thumbs I select via “columns”), why does it only show the first two images in a line, then wrap the other images below it? So for instance, if I choose “3″, it would show two on one line, then the final third below it, then start over below that. My thumbs are small enough that they should be able to fit FOUR images to a column, but the theme will only display two per column and wrap the rest below it? Weird. Any idea how to fix this?

    • Overtappeal

      Here’s a screenshot. Notice the first three thumbs should be on one column/line, since there are plenty of spaces, but it automatically wraps it anyway.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I’ve fixed the gallery style. You can download it again and just replace the style.css file.

    • Overtappeal

      Brilliant! It works, thanks!

  • Adam

    Whats the social widget or plugin you use on this page that scrolls with you as you go up and down the page to the left? And anyone know a social share plugin or widget that I can do this with example please reference the social share buttons at top of article: print, email, fb, twitter, fb recommended and pin it button: http://bangordailynews.com/2012/05/02/news/piscataquis/quimby-gates-more-of-her-land-in-piscataquis-county/ like the look of it and how it looks part of the article its self.

    Anyone know how to add facebook icon and count to RSS and Twitter Counter want it to have same look and be aligned with the current icons there.

    Also looking for these two plugins that work with this theme: Related Posts/Articles tried WB-thumbie didn’t function properly in theme and also a plugin or widget that will allow users to submit events & images to events that I get sent to me for review before being posted thanks all great theme LOVE IT!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Adam, you need to look for such plugins on wordpress.org website. You’d need to modify those plugins to match the style with the theme.

  • Adam

    Anyone know how to achieve this look on category pages but be be able to get rid of where it says category:[Name]: http://demo.gazpo.com/category/technology/?themedemo=silverOrchid but an image like this: http://magazine3.com/newspapertimes/demo/category/entertainment/

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      If you want to remove the category title from the category archive, you need to modify the archive.php file, look for the link if(is_category..

    • Adam

      So it’s not possible to have it display like the live demo with out having to edit my php files. Because in your screen shot and live demo the posts on home page say read more mine displays the full post, and on your live demo when you click a category it takes you to the category page and shows just a snip it of each article and says read more. In the theme options it Says read more text etc can see what I mean on my home page etc. http//Curvalive.com

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to add ‘more’ tags in your posts. For example if you want to show only one paragraph on the homepage or archive, you need to add more tag after that. You can add the more tag from the post editor.

    Having an issue when Enter my feedburner id into my rss and twitter counter widget that came as part of the theme it make my whole page go all funky making slider etc disappear not sure why when I leave it blank it’s fine or if I leave your feedburner name “gazpo” it displays fine and links perfectly to your account? Any idea whats happening here or how to fix this

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

       I have tested with other id’s as well, and there is no such problem.  Have you enabled FeedCount from your feedburner account? If not, you should do and try. You can search google on how to enable.

      • http://207Rewind.com/ 207Rewind

        Thanks your fix worked only issue now is my number isn’t updating. My feed has 8 subscribers currently but it still says 0? I gave it a day or two thinking it just took time to up date but still nothing any ideas how to fix thanks.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          It looks like that you have just got subscribers less than 4 days ago. The twitter and RSS counter displays data with about 4 days difference (for the caching purpose). So you should be able to see the data in few days.

  • Blackterence

    It looks excellent. I’m going to road test it for a cruise ship company.

  • Ramiro

    Hello, great theme! I only have one issue: when I change the options it says it saved them but they return to default.

    • Ramiro

      The problem is the “Read more →” the arrow (maybe a problem with my security settings or UTF support since I’m using an OS in spanish) breaks the form and everything resets to default. GREAT THEME!

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        I have checked and didnt face such problem. If read more option is creating problem, you can remove that.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Since you are displaying ’0 Comments and 0 Reactions’, its taking more space than it should. You should decrease the text length and display only comments or only reactions.

      • http://207Rewind.com/ 207Rewind

         Thank you will do

       Try leaving the field ‘read more’ blank. Or if it still doesnt work simply replace logo image with yours in the images folder.

        hi Sami. Why to leave “read more” blank, works ? why this problem knows?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          This is because of some character encoding, you dont need to leave it blank, you can just remove the arrow.

          thanks for the reply,but i dont see ‘images directory’ in silverorchid theme options. all i can see is the homepage settings.. ;-(

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            No, I meant if you are having troubles in setting the logo path from the theme options, you can leave the default path there. As the default path links to the image ‘logo.png’ in the images directory (which is located inside the silverorchid theme), you can replace the logo.png image in the image directory with your logo.png image file.

            so sorry but still not clear to me what you mean.. i tried doing it in my cpanel – wp-contents -theme- images and copied the code to the silverorchid theme options but didnt work out.. i badly need help… its a bit complicated  Maria Angelica Tanedo Academic Support Teacher (Malaysia)/Special Education Teacher

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Don’t make any changes in the code unless you know what you’re doing. If you want to use your logo image, you need to upload the image file and give its path in the theme options.
            If you are facing any problem with that. Upload your logo image in the image directory (Your image name should be ‘logo.png’). You need to upload the image file in the directory images, which is in wp-content/themes/silverorchid/images.

  • Mattias Olsson

    I have set up the website with a static front page. Is it possible to get the slider working also when using this, in my eyes incredible, theme with this setting instead of using it as a normal blog-site? I have tried creating a sub-page with the front page as parent and set a featured image on that page without any luck. The blog part of the website works as expected with the slider, it is just the static front page that I don´t manage to get to work.

    Thanks for an incredible nice looking theme!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      That would require changes in theme files. For example, you can modify the index.php file, keep the slider there and remove the code to display the blog posts, instead use an additional query to get the specific page content?

    On the homepage, the slider just displays 3 posts as the category has more than 7

  • Andyseabrook

    I was just about to start using your theme, and am still considering but I see that not only are your widgets missing from the WordPress site but in fact you are no longer exhibited therein. Whats happening?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

       Well, yes, the custom widgets are not included in the wordpress repository because they have quite strict rules about the external links (to social media sites etc) and some functions (cURL etc). And also, the widgets are just option, if you want to use them you can download the theme from above.

      • Andyseabrook

         No I meant I could not get a result now if I searched for SilverOrchid – though I was talking about from the self-hosted admin themes search – and also I realise now that that search can only find you by Author not the theme name! So guess we are still on board now and I say we because my wife is thinking of using your design simultaneously. have a good day Sami.

    Do you know how I can fix this?

      Your slider is working fine. But you can’t see posts on homepage because you have not the theme options. You need to specity if you want to display featured categories etc. Please check the theme options.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can easily change that. Open includes/slider.php file and change &posts_per_page=4 to 6. (on line 14 and line 16).

  • nish

    Hi, I can not make any changes to the theme options it says saved successfully – but the settings remain as default ones – using WordPress 3.4 and hardly any plug ins – please help

    • bawbaimai

      Same is happening to me. Its a blank install from the download here it won’t let me change anything in the theme options

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Try to save options by removing the -> (arrow) in the read more field.

    Thanks for this theme. I’ve noticed that the images in the slider and carousel are not scaling to the original images aspect ratio. This is causing the images to looked stretched which is undesirable. Is there a fix for this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Yes, if the images will scale to the original ratio, it will disturb the layout. You can perhaps resize the images so that they can fit better or of course change the theme to use your desired width/height.

      • Susan

        Thank you for the quick response.

        I would be fine with resizing the images if the displayed image ratio was constant between slider and carousel. It also seems that the sides of slider thumb and carousel img are being cropped and then horizontally stretched to fill the image size.

        I guess what I was originally asking was if there is a way to keep the displayed image size (so as not to disturb the layout) and to scale the image within that displayed image size. Then, for example, if the image was too big vertically, then it would crop the bottom and/or top a bit to fit the display size while keeping the proper aspect ratio. This seems like a good solution to me if it’s possible. Is it?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          I think the slider image uses size 400×300, while the carousel posts use 190×130. So yes, the ratio is a bit different, but as I said, the idea was to fit better with the layout. A quick solution is to change the width/height of either slider or the carousel. Its specified in the style.css file. Look for ‘#gazpo-slider .slider_image’ around line 468, and ‘.carousel-posts img’ around line 920.

          The other solutaion, as you already mentioned is to crop the images. If you are ok to make multiple copies of your image on server in different sizes, you can define the custom thumbnail sizes in your functions.php file, so that when you upload an image, it will crop to two extra sizes (for slider and carousel).

          • Nuno

            Hi Sami, I like your last solution. Can you please be more specific on how to get this working?
            Would this be an automatic process, and what lines should I need to change on the functions.php file?

    How can I adjust the speed at which the Carousel changes? I figured it out for the slider, but I am having trouble with the carousel…

    Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      For carousel, open gazpo_cusotm.js file in the js folder, there you can see auto: 8000 (around line 13), change that value.

  • Nick

    also, is there a way to just turn off the animation on the slider?

        Thanks for the help Sir.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Please browse through the theme options page, there’s field for the banner code as well. You need to paste complete html code for the banner there.

      I don’t know if your problem has been solved, but check this out.
      1. Click on theme, and then go to customise,
      2. click on static front page
      3. Under front page display, select a static page
      4. in the drop down menu under front page, do not select anything, just leave select.
      5 then under post page, select ”home” (Ensure that you have created a page named home with no post on it.)
      Hope this helps?

  • Denise

    Theme is brilliant. I’m just using the carousel part and not slider. Really struggling with carousel image sizing. Tried cropping and tried changing size in style.css .carousel. Just can’t get clear focused images, please help. I tried following advice on previuos post but clearly not getting it. Please help :)

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      What problem you are having with the image sizes? As you can see in style.css (#gazpo-carousel .carousel-posts img) that its using 190 x 130px. If you want don’t want the theme to stretch image, then you can define a new image size in functions.php file, so that the theme will create an extra cropped copy of that size. In that case, remember to call the new image in the carousel.php file.
      If you don’t know how to do this, let me know, I’ll try to explain.

      • Denise

        You are so brilliant. Thank you so much! :) :) I am learning WordPress, I’ve just ordered a book on themes (but atm it makes no sense) I wouldn’t have had a clue. THANK YOU!!!! And so prompt to offer help, wow you are super, I really appreciate.

    • Denise

      Hi Thanks, sorry please could you tell me how to define a new image size in functions.php file, so that the theme will create an extra cropped copy of that sizeand to call the new image in the carousel.php file. Really much appreciated :)

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Add this to your functions.php file.
        if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) ) {
        add_image_size( ‘carousel-thumbnail’, 190, 130, true );
        }
        It will create an additional copy with the defined size. The ‘true’ in above function will force cropping. Now, open includes/carousel.php and look for the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumbnail’ ) around line 24, change that to the_post_thumbnail( ‘carousel-thumbnail’ ). Thats it, dont change any CSS. Try uploading new image in post and see if it works.

        • Nuno

          Would this also work for the silder?

          if ( function_exists( ‘add_image_size’ ) ) {
          add_image_size( ‘slider-thumbnail’, 400, 300, true );
          }

          And the putting:

          the_post_thumbnail( ‘slider-thumbnail’ )

          Because it also streches some images and I want to avoid it…

          Thanks!

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            yes, you can try and see.

          • Saroo

            Hi, I wondered if you could help me to get my slider images set up correctly – I managed to use the code above to automatically generate the carousel thumbnail etc so I don’t end up with stretched images, but when I try to do the same with the slider thumbnail I’m not having the same success …

            I’ve edited the functions code to define a new image size 430 x 300 for ‘slider-thumbnail’ and can see that this works to create the thumbnails – but I can’t be editing the slider.php file correctly – my images aren’t stretched any more, but instead they’re cropped and don’t fill the whole 430 x 300 even though my thumbnail editor says that they are that size.

            Any ideas what I’m doing wrong? Which bits of code should I be replacing with ‘slider-thumbnail’?

            Hope you can help!

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Make sure that you are calling the correct image in the slider ie. ‘slider-thumbnail’ in your case. You need to use the_post_thumbnail( ‘slider-thumbnail’ ). If you have done that, what size of image you get in the slider?

          • saroo

            Hi,thanks – I’ve got it sorted now. There are two different ”
            the_post_thumbnail” sections in the slider php (one for the smaller images) which had confused me! I had to change ‘large’ to ‘slider-thumbnail’ for it to call the right thing (I’d amended the wrong text previously.)

            Thanks for the theme, I’m really pleased with it so far.

            One other quick query – is there any way of choosing different widgets to show in the sidebar on the homepage than on the rest of the pages in the site, or do you have to stick with the same widgets throughout?

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            As far I know, there’s no straight forward way to do that, however its possible if you really want to do that. For example you can register another widget area which you want to show only on homepage.

          • http://www.tusitios.com/ rusia

    Good theme! I have 2 questions for ya. First, how do you disable comments on pages, and, second, how do I get the social networking widgets to appear? thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can remove comments_template around line 22 on page.php file to disable comments on pages. If you are talking about custom widgets included in the theme, you will need to download the theme from above link instead of wordpress repository. Then you can enable from the widgets section.

        Hi,

My site homepage is just blank with nothing. I have tried unstalling and re-installing it, but that does not help to solve the problem at all. Please help as this is getting me mad. Thank you.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Try saving the theme options by removing the arrow in the ‘read more’ field option in theme options.

          • Wisdom

            That makes no change to the issue, it’s still not saving. It will just say options saved successfully” without actually saving it,

            Please help…..Thanks!

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Have you changed anything in the code? There should not be any problem with saving the settings. Please try again leaving the ‘read more’ field completely empty. If it still does not work, try testing the theme on other server (eg. localhost). I have tested it and theres no any problem.

          • Wisdom

    Oh, also, how do I hide the image caption from an excerpt?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      which excerpt ?

      • Nick

        The featured categories on the home page, or the excerpts that show after clicking on a category…

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          The archive template (which is used to display category, search and archive results) uses the_content function to display the post data, which means, it will show the full post in archives and category post archive etc). You should use more tag to add break in the post from the post editor. Then it will display the post data before the post tag. So, if you dont want to show any image in the archives, you can add more tag before that image.

  • Nuno

    Hi, how can I remove the image frame on every post?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You will have to check which css class has been used, and remove its border from the class properties. For example:

      For Featured categories:

      .feat-cat .left img
      .feat-cat .right ul img

      For carousel:
      #gazpo-carousel .carousel-posts img

      For Slider:
      #gazpo-slider ul.ui-tabs-nav li img

  • Tahiel

    Hi! Just installed this theme, it’s really awesome! Thank you very much for your efforts on it!! I think I’ll use it on my site, but I have a couple questions, maybe you can help me? I’d really appreciate it if you could. :3

    I have a plugin that adds a custom post_type (with its own categories and tags). I would like for the slider and carousel to display from this post type (‘download’), but I can’t figure out how to have them call on the post_type categories (I’m kind of dense when it comes to coding). If it’s not doable (or too complex) that’s alright.

    Also, when I call on the archive page for the single post type and the archive post type, it’s not wrapped in the “post” class content like the regular posts and pages are (basically the content of the post is displayed over the background image, which makes reading the content hard). I temporarily solved this by making a copy single-download.php and archive-download.php and manually adding class=”post” to the wrapper div and it works, but I’m sure there’s a proper way of fixing this?

    Lastly, I wonder if the carousel needs a certain amount of posts before it works? (I have 1 regular post and 2 download posts, plus several pages, all posts have featured images, and everything is enabled on the options page) Just curious because there’s the blank space under the slider (slider only has the 1 post for now).

    Thank you for reading, and again, thank you for a most excellent theme.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thanks. About your questions, as you can see that the default archive posts in the theme are displayed properly, it has something to do with the plugin. Unfortunately its not possible to check themes with all plugins, so you have to figure out how you can integrate the plugin with the theme. But, as you mentioned that you have at least made it working.
      The carousel should not require minimum number of posts. However you need to enable it from the theme options page. Make sure you enable it and save settings. If it is, try removing the plugins, may be its conflicting with something. You can also check using some debugging tools (eg. Firebug) to see if its being caused by the jQuery.
      Hope it helps, if you still face problems, feel free to ask.

      • Tahiel

        Thank you very much for the quick reply! Yes, I guess I’ll use that workaround for now for displaying the background class and look for something proper meanwhile. :)
        Is it possible at all for the slider to show pages or custom post_types or would that require too much code-rewriting?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          That shouldn’t require much work, as you can re-use the same code. You can check for example wordpress default twentyeleven theme for help.

    Fantastic theme. Looks incredibly sharp. However, in the sliders the html is coming through as the text below the link instead of the first real text. I don’t have much experience with php, but perhaps you know of a solution? Thank you!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      It is because you dont have enough text in the begining of your posts. You can use the_excerpt instead of the_content. Here’s how to do that:
      Open includes/slider.php file, look for following around line 52.
      $content = get_the_content();
      $content = strip_tags($content);
      echo substr($content, 0, 150). ‘…’;

      Replace that with below, and see if that works.

      $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
      echo substr($excerpt,0, 150);
      if (strlen($excerpt) > 149){
      echo ‘…’;
      }

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thats easy. You can edit the includes/gazpo_loop.php and add the_author(); function in the post-meta. You’d also need to edit the single.php, tag.php and search.php.

  • kk405

    Can anyone help me figure out how to get
    my blog look EXACTLY like the one silver orchid has on their demo? I want to
    create all those boxes, and built in pictures, text, etc., and several
    categories that it shows such as Mobile, technology, etc. many many thanks…

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You just need to enable the options from the theme settings. Please check the theme options page. Also, you need to add the featured image for each post when you create the post. If you face any problem, post it here.

      • kk405

        Sorry for being new to this, but I clicked on ‘Appearance>Silverorchid Theme Options” and is that where I enable options? what options am I enabling to get the exact same look of the demo page? ‘Slider category’? ‘Carousel category’? ‘Homepage category 1-5′?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Yes, thats the options page. Please try to test the settings by yourself. For example enable the slider and select the category for it. Same for the Carousel (the rotating posts). Homepage category is the one you see in above image (eg. mobile and technology).

          • kk405

            Thank Sami…now it’s beginning to come together…really looking forward to making this work…two quick questions: the pictures on the blog posts show up, but not in the Slider or Carousel..any thoughts? Also, how do I create the two boxes that you have in the Demo: ‘Mobile’ and ‘Technology’ that appear right before the blog posts at the bottom of the page begin?..many thanks…KK

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            In order to appear the post images in the slider and other sections, you need to add featured image for the post. Please see the readme.txt file in the folder to learn about that or just google how to add post thumbnails. About mobile and technology boxes, these are the featured categories. You need to enable these and select the category from theme options.

          • http://www.facebook.com/william.booke William Booke

            I picked a featured image. It doesn’t matter. No images are showing up in the slider and other sections at nerdspan[dot]com.

    I’d like to remove the “date and time” stamp on posts. Do I just need to edit some of the files or is there a simpler method?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      It cant be simpler than removing the time function from the theme files.

      • Johnny

        ok, so just delete that line of code from gazpo_loop.php? Do I also need to delete it from single.php tag.php and search.php?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          wel.. it depends on you. If you want to totally remove it, you’d need to remove from gazpo_loop.php , tag.php, search.php, image.php, carousel.php, feat_cat1.php … feat_cat4.php and slider.php.

  • RacePW

    Where do I go to to add my front page photos in the slider? How do I go about doing this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to add featured image for the post. See readme.txt file or search on google how to set post thumbnail in wordpress.

  • BryerM

    How can i remove the black dots beside the post name in the screenshot below(feature categories)

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Are you using latest version? Anyway you can add this in style.css file .feat-cat ul[
      list-style:none;
      }

    how to make navigation when I’m on a post
    For example: <>

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Add this under the post
      posts_nav_link();

      • http://interiorblog.com Пенко Пенев

        Where to put this code?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          In the single.php file, under or above the post section.

          • http://interiorblog.com Пенко Пенев

            I put this:
            posts_nav_link(); with php tags
            above:

            but navigation not shown.

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            okay, use this instead previous_post(); next_post();

          • http://interiorblog.com Пенко Пенев

            Thank you Sami

  • Levi

    Love the theme! I am also going to try out the new Max theme as well. I have a question about the slider featured photos. On my site, it is displaying the photo and then it has some formatting text on top of the picture with the caption. Any idea on how I can correct this? Thanks again!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thanks Levi. Either use some text in the start of the post, or use the_excerpt function instead of the_content. Please look through the previous comments, you will find out how to do that. If still have trouble, feel free to ask.

      • Levi

        With the post’s in question there is text in the start of the post. I will look through the comments to see what I can find. Thanks for the quick reply.

    nice theme

  • PlanandPrep

    I love this theme but my Nav bar suddenly stopped showing my submenu when hovering. I have no idea what to do!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Did you install any new plugin or changed anything in CSS?

      • PlanandPrep

        I have made a bunch of changes, but everything was working until I tried to use SSL. Now that I removed the plugin for SSL nothing is working right.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Well, in this situation, I can only tell you to reinstall the theme if you don’t have backup files.

  • Puck

    Thank you for an awesome theme!
    I have one small problem, the default code makes all the pages show the title “Categories: Title”.
    Where can I change this so it displays only “Title”?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Are you talking about the category archive page? If yes, you can change the text in archive.php file.

  • kchase

    how do I change the formating and text of the comment form?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      This theme uses wordpress function comment_form. You can use your own custom function if you want to change anything in the comment form.

  • http://OptionFootball.net/ Levi

    I looked through all of the comments and couldn’t find the information you referred to. The featured image still shows formating text with the caption of the photo. Thanks again for your help

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to replace the_content with the_excerpt function. Check this comment on how to do that: http://gazpo.com/2012/04/silverorchid/#comment-583722416

      • http://OptionFootball.net/ Levi

        Awesome! It worked. Not sure how I missed that comment. Thank you very much. Great theme and great support. I will make a donation for your efforts.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          @OptionFootballdotNet:disqus Thanks :)

  • becky

    I have been working with the carousel and I can’t get it to quit distorting the images. The css states width:190px;
    height:130px;
    border:1px solid #e9e9e9;
    padding:4px;
    border-radius:3px 3px 3px 3px;
    I have tried images 190px x 130px and it still distorts the image. I’ve tried many other dimensions and no matter what size the image is, it still distorts. It’s driving me crazy! Is there any way to have the carousel just crop rather than fit? Or to maintain the pixel aspect ratio? Love this theme otherwise! Thanks!

  • JG

    Hi
    Love the theme but am looking to change the background colour of the pages to match my logo – not sure where on css style to do this without messing everything else up?!
    Grateful if you could advise.
    Thanks

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thats very simple. Just change the body background in the style.css file

      • JG

        Many thanks – very fast response! I’m new to this so could see where to change the boxes where my content, widgets etc are but not the part to change the background of the whole site – where do I find this in the css file?
        Thanks

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Look for “body” around line 65. There you can see background: url(“images/main_bg.png”) repeat; change this to whatever you want.

          • JG

            Thank you SO much!

  • Ayan

    Please tell me how do I change the background image on the various pages on this theme?? Thank you…

  • FrancescoMallamo

    Hi i have resolved the issue of streched images in carousel modifying the code as you have posted. But this problem remains with the images on the right sidebar.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can add as many custom sizes as you want and use them wherever you wish.

  • Amparo

    how to add an excerpt in category page? Need to only appears the title of the posts belong to this catelogy page, not all text. When click the title go to the post.

    • Amparo

      i could display only the tittle on category

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        you can edit archive.php file and there you can see if its category, then use the_excerpt function.

  • FrancescoMallamo

    when I try to link a post to Facebook it doesn’t recognizes post featured image, it doesn’t recognizes any images in the post too.

  • Rourke Decker

    Overall, I really like this theme and have moved my site over to it. It seems really resistant to change, though. For example, I have edited the Style.css file to make the default font serif instead of sans-serif, and yet the font remains unchanged. Furthermore, I uploaded a new main_bg.png file to replace the default, yet the page stubbornly shows the original grey background. I also changed the color of links in the navbar to blue, yet they remain grey. How can I force this theme to actually honor my changes?

    One more item: I implemented the code suggested below for cropping featured images, but they are still stretched and distorted. Is there any way to incorporate Timthumb into this theme so that images will come out looking correctly?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      replacing background image should change the background. Make sure the image name is same and the browser cache is clear.
      About thmubnails, you need to add the custom size and then edit the theme file to call the new image size (by using the new image name). I havn’t tried timthumb, so I don’t know about that.

      • Rourke Decker

        I was able to fix the issue of not updating by including some code that adds a version number to the Style.css file. It still takes some time for changes to show up in Safari and Firefox, but not nearly as much. I have made a number of changes to this theme, some significant, some subtle. I will share my final product when I am done with it, if you are interested.

  • http://twitter.com/LiveTradesBlog LIVETRADES™

    Sami. Love this theme | silverOrchid | but for the life of me I can’t get the thumbnails in the slider AND the pics in the 5 sections below carousel to display correctly. I have installed the code that makes the carousel images display correctly and the big pic in the slider, but thumbs in slider and 5 sections below slider=images NOT displaying right. Please assist. I will pay you.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      What you mean by images are not displaying right? Are they not appearing at all or something else is wrong? Please have a look at previous comments, there are several discussions related to images. Are you adding the post featured images?

  • Hubobo

    Is there an option that it you can see who wrote a post? (I used Gazpo Mag before, there you could see who wrote a post). I like the silverorchid theme very much; it’s better for the use of >3 categories.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Do you mean you want to add the author name in the post meta?

      • Hubobo

        Yes i do.

        • http://twitter.com/Hubobo Hubobo.nl

          Is there an easy way to add the author to the post meta (i’m not good in adding codes to sheets etc)?

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            check this comment above: http://gazpo.com/2012/04/silverorchid/#comment-615185054 and yes, its easy.

          • http://twitter.com/Hubobo Hubobo.nl

            Thanks @gazpo1:disqus. You did a great thing to me, creating this theme and giving good support! Thanks too to @392b73c89fcd88c08db6792958c7c349:disqus.

  • EW

    Hello. I’m trying to add author information to each post, and link out to a list of articles written by each author (if possible). I saw the earlier comments where you discussed adding to the post-meta loop, but I’m unsure of what else to add. Could you perhaps post the entire line of code, including the tags and all? And does that same line work for single.php, tag.php, and search.php?

    Thanks a lot. Awesome theme.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey, By the author information did you mean you want to add author description and avatar at the end of the post or did you mean you just want to add the author name under the heading in the post meta?

      • EW

        Yes, I’d just like to put it up at the top on the same line as the date/category/comments

      • TGT

        Had the same question, anything on this?

        • TGT

          Figured it out, insert into gazpo_loop.php and single.php. Put it wherever you want the author to appear (I have it right before the date).

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Glad you figured it out.

        • TGT

          For some reason it didn’t show in my previous post, insert “”
          into gazpo_loop.php and single.php. Put it wherever you want the author to appear (I have it right before the date).

        • TGT

          Wow, it won’t let me insert tags into replies!
          Insert [span class="author"][?php the_author(); ?][/span] into gazpo_loop.php and single.php. Put it wherever you want the author to appear (I have it right before the date). REPLACE THE SQUARE BRACKETS I USED WITH TRIANGLE ONES!

  • Fiona

    Hi, when I tried to make the content wider, the whole layout aligned to the left automatically.
    Which code that I need to change if I want to make the content and sidebar wider? Thanks.

  • Jonas

    Hi Sami — LOVE this theme…but I can’t figure out how to customize the text that appears in the slider (super-imposed over the image). It seems to default to the post TITLE (in bold), and then 2 lines worth of text beneath that…but it just pulls in the first 2 lines of text from the post body. Every other theme that I’ve seen with a slider like this lets you specify what text you want to appear in the slider (and also, for what it’s worth, next to the thumbnails to the right of the main slider image). Is this possible?

    • lulzharry

      Are you ever going to answer this Q?? I think it’s important, and you’ve clearly answered plenty of other stuff in the meantime! If the answer is “no, it’s not possible”, just say so.

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        lulzharry, I try to answer every question, but sometimes a question goes unnoticed. Anyway, to answer the question, sure it is possible but it means it will require some additional work. This slider gets the latest posts from a specified category and displays the post titles and their text. So, you can change the slider loop and specify your own text and/or images there.

        • Hypebabe1

          Thanks Sami. U are doing such a gr8 job responding to all these queries -much more than many of the other WordPress developers. People on here need to take notice of that and be more grateful!!!

    Child Theme:
    Hi Sami, just wanted to create a child theme (according to WP support) but everytime it says in the WP admin: “Template is missing”. How can I create a child theme? Is there a special trick? ;)

      Please check the wordpress website for instructions about creating the child theme. If you still have problem, let me know.

      • Joe

        Still having a problem. I sticked to the original instructions and tested in with other themes as well. Works fine there. I started with creating a child folder and put a style.css in it. “Template is missing”. :(

    When I go to “Edit Post,” there’s no option for creating excerpt.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to add the break in the content, you can find it in the editor.

      • http://www.facebook.com/william.booke William Booke

        Adding a break in content doesn’t give me the option of creating an excerpt that’s anything but the start of the article. If there’s a figure caption, the excerpt is a mess like “[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Lucius Fox (Morgan
        Freeman): “Mr. Wayne, if you don’t want to tell me exactly what you’re
        doing……”

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Well, thats how it works. When you are using the_content you need to be careful that you dont break any element. You can use the_excerpt instead (see the previous comments), that will make sure that it gets only text.

    Hello, I made changes to the lists showing how sections not post content complete with the_excerpt, but it did not work, how to proceed? You can replace the_content with the_excerpt function in the includes / gazpo_loop.php file. Also in tag.php and search.php.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I didn’t really get your question. Which lists/sections you meant?

  • Elke

    I like to remove the grey line under the menu or make it white, but I cannot find it in the CSS. Does anyone know what to add or change in the CSS?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Look for the #gazpo-nav in the style.css file and remove border-bottom or change the color to white.

        Thanks, but that didn’t work. If for example you change this line to border-bottom:1px solid #000000; they grey line remains visible but you’ve got a black (as expected…) line halfway the menu points. Removing doesn’t change this either. Do you have another suggestion?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          It should work, just look at the menu style. If it still does not work, send the screenshot by email.

          • Elke

            Here is a small part of the screen. The black line striking the menu is the line you change with the code you mean. The grey line I want to remove is the grey line just above the picture, so a little lower (and it’s not part of the picture). This is my ‘test’ code:

            #gazpo-nav {
            // background:#f6f6f6 url(“images/nav-bg.png”) repeat-x 0 0;
            border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
            display: block;
            float: left;
            margin: 0 auto;
            width: 928px;
            position:relative;
            background: #ffffff;
            height:20px;
            padding-left:32px;
            }

            However, I found a solution, better, a trick, so I’ve got it working but you or any other reader may be interested in it:

            #gazpo-nav {
            border-bottom:8px solid #ffffff;
            border-top:0px solid #ececec;
            display: block;
            float: left;
            margin: 0 auto;
            width: 928px;
            position:relative;
            z-index:400;
            background: #ffffff;
            padding-left:32px;
            margin-bottom:-23px;
            height:38px;
            }

            Thanks for all the quick replies!

  • Yamado

    What’s the best way to add a comment option under the posts on the home page? as it is now, they must go to the seperate post window to get the option to add comment, but would like to have it under the posts on the homepage as well…

  • Yamado

    nevermind, i figured it out… :)

  • Yamado

    Okkk…New question… Is there anyway I can get the header like in GazpoMag? I like the multi-carousel in silverOrchard, but there’s no header like in gazpoMag.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      well, you can change the header to whatever you want.

      • Yamado

        Could you be more specific… How could I get a header at the top like GazpoMag? Is it difficult if I don’t know CSS?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          well, of course you will need to know some html and css. you can for example look at the code of gazpomag header and try to use similar code in this theme header.php file.

  • http://www.facebook.com/livinginSpain Pete Clark

    I can’t see the Homepage link in the menu. No menus have been set, just using the default menu

      You need to set the menus.

      • http://www.facebook.com/livinginSpain Pete Clark

        Thanks, I had incorrectly assumed that the menus section was there in case I wanted something different to a standard WP menu. Fixed up and happy…

  • Dion

    Hi sami – made a long commet a couple of hours ago.. is it just me or is it done? .. under the same nick… would appreciate a quick answer wether I have to write the whole thing again with my relative poor english :D

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I can’t find your previous comment.

      • Dion

        Too bad – maybe because it was to long. Better learn to copy/paste my long posts so they dont get caught in limbo. I will write you an email at info@gazpo.com – Im gonna write now – talk to ya later :o)

      • Dion

        you´ve got mail!

  • Yamado

    Hi, Another question. Is there some way to keep the top-most carousel from distorting the images? Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      yes, there is. You can add a new image size in your theme. Please check the previous comments, it has been discussed many times.

  • Dion

    Hi, just sent you another mail. Im making sure to backlink with likes your every option today. really appreciate your help

    insert banner 468×60?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      and whats the question?

  • Yamado

    Sami, help bud. i got hacked! only 2 days up and already hacked :( … anyways, i managed to get all my posts back up with the images, but the carousel and slider aren’t showing any images. they’re sliding and the text is showing, but no graphics. the graphics are showing fine in the posts. i uploaded all the thumbnails and 150×150′s.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Sorry to hear about that, may be you should add some security to your website. Have you tried to upload the post featured images again to see if that works?

      • Yamado

        yea, when setting the featured image again, it shows up fine. apparently the post export didn’t contain the featured image data…so i guess the carousel gets the data from “featured image” as opposed to a hard link to the file in the media folder?

        i was using BPS security. somehow they injected something into my sql. no files were deleted, but couldn’t access any links. “hacked by Hmei7″ was all i would get. sucks as i was only up for 2 days!! makes me nervous about putting too much work into the site. already put in a ton of work.

        the server (namecheap) suggested it was a hole in the theme. wordpress forums suggested it was an issue with the server. namecheap said someone made a user account and injected the hack tools through that….i don’t know, maybe you can look into it if you have time. don’t know whether it’s a hole in the theme, or wordpress, or a plugin, or the server itself…

        do you have any other suggestions besides BPS security that might pertain to your particular theme for protection?

        cheers

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          The security has absolutely nothing to do with the theme. The theme has nothing to do with the user accounts etc. It is clearly an issue with the server.

          • Yamado

            ok, well whatever host i google, for example “bluehost wordpress hacked”, or “godaddy wordpress hacked”, or “hostgator wordpress hacked” there are invariably people complaining their wordpress got hacked… i’m using namecheap… is there something i can do to keep this from happening…any steps i can take? do you recommend i change hosts from namecheap?

  • Denise

    Hi When I have a submenu an arrow doesn’t show next to it’s parent on the menu bar. Any ideas please?

    • Denise C

      I have 2 sites one I installed recently, the first is OK. On the menu (not submenu) the one that works has submenu as a class and it is missing on the 2nd site. I added a menu item for both sites with a “submenu” exactly the same way, oh dear :(

      • Denise C

        The downarrow (for submenus below) was only not showing on the home page. Once I added a post it then worked! :)

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Check the demo, if it shows there.

  • Gillian

    Is it possible to remove the posts at the bottom of the home page?

  • Yamado

    Hello Again Sami,
    I can’t seem to figure out how to change the color up top of the header on this theme. ideally, i’d like to add a transparent background image going across the top of the theme behind the logo, or if that’s not possible, a transparent background color at the top of the theme over the already existing silver background image. i looked a gazpomag and couldn’t figure it out… thanks again…

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      If you want to set header background, then look for #gazpo-header in the style.css file and set some background there.

  • Vince

    Hi there…Can I put a tittle on carousel?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      yes you can.

  • Francisco

    This is really weird. I really like this theme and for some reason, when I go to the theme options, not one setting gets saved. I mean, I try to change some settings and click save. It say successfully saved but it goes back to “none” again, as an example when setting a category. How do go about solving this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      try saving the settings by removing the arrow (->) in the read more field.

      • Francisco

        Wow, simple but effective. It worked. Thanks

  • Francois

    Hi there, can you please tell me how to change the background pattern or colour?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can change it in the style.css file.

        Problem, i found the background image command in the style.css but where is the background color command?
        I have put my image as the background + no repeat and this works but for the rest of the place i will change the color to #efefef, how can I do that?

  • Mayra araujo

    Hello Sami,
    I very much appreciate your theme silverolchid and confess that until now I have not found better. But like any compliment I have a problem too, the images are not scaled and end up penalizing us on google speed. What can I do or where should I change to make all images of tumbs so dimensioned. After changing the dimensions of the theme were never scaled. Thanks if you can help Sami http://www.tendenciaselegantes.com my website

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thanks. You can define a new image size for your theme, so that it can crop images to the exact size you want. Please look at previous comments, there’s some example on how to do that.

      • Mayra araujo

        yes I read about the inclusion of new codes that do not alter the css, the problem is that I do not understand css, but includes the codes mentioned in funtions.php for slider and carousel, but I actually use all that offers its theme, mainly the categories that appear as thumbnails on the home page, I wonder if you could make a mini tutorial for what and where should I put these new lines. Of course I know that Sami is a busy person and in no way want to bother you, I have friends all live busy and programmers, its theme is what he always wanted for my website and I love his humility. If you can help I thank you because I made changes to the comments but still this buggy. kisses

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          okay, i’ll try to help. Look at this comment (http://gazpo.com/2012/04/silverorchid/#comment-576803110), which begins as ‘Add this to your functions.php file’.. and follow the instructions. Let me know if that works for you.

          • Mayra araujo

            At first I made this way, but the images of the slide says that I can save a lot of scale in serving the slide thumbnails in 72×56 and categories with thumbnail images of 110×80, still did not work for me

          • Mayra araujo

            just remember that my wordpress configurations are large thumbnails 200×200 300×300 1024×1024 average this in wordpress

  • Soapblox

    Hello, I’m having trouble getting the images to appear in the thumbnails on my site http://www.soapblox.com I checked the old comments back to the start and the only mention I could find was to make the photos featured in the posts. How do I do that, and / or how do I fix this problem so the photo thumbnails appear properly?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      On the new post page, you will see the option to set a featured image, upload image there. If you dont understand, search on internet for detailed instructions.

  • Mark

    Hey my 468×60 Banner won’t show up on the website…

    I’ve triple-checked the html in the Themeoptions, and made sure that the file is there that corresponds to that html, yet it still will not show.

    What do you think the problem could be?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      okay, check couple of things. First make sure that the html you are entering is not broken, eg. test that code with a simple html page and see if it works fine. Second, check in different browsers (eg. chrome/FF) because I think FF has some extension which automatically hides all ads on a page.

      • Mark

        Thank you SO much for responding!
        Okay I tested the html on a ‘html code test’ website and it came up blank. It must be the html then!

        I have tested the link to my photo and that works on it’s own, so then it really must be the html code.

        Here’s what I have entered in on the gazpoTheme options. What do you think?

        • Mark

          () <– excluding the brackets.

          • Mark

            Here’s the html since I couldn’t type it in on here…

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            no this code is not right. you should put the image path between the a tag, and in the href, you should put the url. Please look for basic html examples for image links etc.

          • Mark

            Okay I looked up tutorials and fixed up the code.
            I tested the code on 2 html code test websites and it’s working now,
            but on the website the banner is still not showing.

            What do you think is going wrong?

          • Mark

            I posted this issue on the wordpress forums also and nobody knows what to do.

  • http://www.facebook.com/olivemonkeys Jason Brown

    Thanks for the great theme! Although, no matter what I do, “gazpo” is the only thing that works in the RSS & Twitter counter widget. My Twitter name works, but not the RSS. I tried using other feeds, changing my feed name to all lowercase and only 5 letters like yours, and I even tried looking at the PHP for the widget – I couldn’t make sense out of that since I’ve only just started learning PHP. Is there any way to add my feed in the feed counter widget? Thank you!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Are you using updated theme version (eg. downloaded recently)? If yes, it might be because of your Feedburner account settings. You need to activate FeedCount function in the feedburner. You can search on internet on how to enable that.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You mean you dont want to display full content of the post? You can either add content break from your post editor, but that you have to do for each post. Or if you want to display summary automatically, you can use the_excerpt function instead of the_content. Please see the previous comments, it has been discussed before.

    Hey How can i change the post so that they show summaries instead of the full post?

  • Slsv

    Hi, very good and nice theme. I have 2 problems:
    1. I change the_content with the_excerpt, but do you have any idea how to make thumbs back again ?
    2. How to make category meny on single column in a row. Now they are 2 columns.
    Thank you
    p.s. Sorry for my English!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      1. You can use the wordpress function the_post_thumbnail to display the thumbnail of the post.
      2. To make the category list single column, you need to edit the style.css file. Look for “#sidebar .widget_archive li, #sidebar .widget_categories li” and change “display: inline-block” to “display: block”. Also remove “width: 115px”.

      • Stanislav Ivanov

        on my 1 question i made it with “Advanced Excerpt”
        on question 2 when i do this i got 3 columns …

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          regarding 2, if there is float: left, remove that as well.

    Hi, I really like the silverOrchid theme and wondering if there is a way to change the size of the carousel? When I use Firefox to inspect the element, it is 426px but I can’t find it in the css. Where would I go to change the size of the carousel? Thank you.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Look for this in the css file, #gazpo-carousel .carousel-posts li and change the width to whatever you want.

    Hi Sami, I wonder if you could help. I downloaded your theme and think it’s great. However, I’m unable to get the slider to display at all.
    -I’ve created 5 posts and assigned them all to a new category called ‘Slider’.
    -They each have a featured image set within them.
    -They are all published
    -In theme options i’ve set all options to ‘Slider’
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Have you enabled the slider from the theme options page? Make sure that your theme options are being saved when you click the save button (because for some people they dont). If they are not being saved, see the previous comments on this page.

      • Frankie

        Hi Sami,
        The slider is still not displaying.
        The slider is selected from the theme options and the options are definitely saved correctly – the green banner is displayed: Options saved successfully!
        Can you think of anything else that could be causing this issue?

    Hello, how to change the number of words in posts on homepage as when i put featured image it’s bigger and seems bad on homepage. don’t work “continue reading” there are such signs: [...]
    Thanks.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Did you mean in featured categories on homepage?

      • Edgar

        David I’m glad you asked this! I have the same issue going
        on…

        What he means is the posts on the homepage or when you click a category are
        FULL posts. They are supposed to be post
        previews but they don’t shorten the article at all like a preview should.

        There is no [Read more...] or anything like this and it shows all words,
        pictures and videos in the preview.
        There is no incentive for people to even click on the article.

        I would love to make the previews look something like the ones on this page:

        http://worldtruth.tv/category/categories/health/

        What do we need to do to tighten up the post previews?

        1. Shrink the photo to preview size

        2. Leave embedded videos out of the
        preview

          By default, this theme will show the full post text in the posts list below the featured categories on the homepage. You need to add the break in the content from the theme editor. By if you want to show only preview of the text automatically, you can replace the_content function with the_excerpt. Please go through the previous comments on this page, in some of the comment I explained how to do that.

          • Hypebabe1

            Hi Sami, Could you pls tell me where exactly I can replace the_content function with the_excerpt as I just cannot find it after searching for so long. I want the Latest posts on the homepage to be shortened to just excerpts and I do not want to have to add the more tag in the posts directly. Many Thanks in advance :)

          • Mark

            Here’s a plugin that will create exerpts for you, it will thumbnail the photos and even allow you to adjust how long you want the exerpts to be. ‘Auto Exerpt Everywhere’

            Thank you for you help. Only one thing, it doesn’t work with sticky post.

          • Edgar

            I searched the comments but couldn’t find the one where you explained it. Could you give us at least some more hints here, if not the directions how to do this??

      • David

        not featured categories but just in posts. see the screenshot: http://d10ko.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/untitled1.jpg and how to turn off the “No Comment”?

        • Miks

          Im afraid “no comment” is not that easy to just turn off. You’ll have to go through every script in “includes” folder and rewrite it manually.

          As for that the_excerpt function … look for the_content function in /includes/gazpo-loop.php

          • Paul

            Miks,

            Thanks for that. It works really well. The only thing is that it would be nice to include a thumbnail against each piece if anyone knows if that is possible.

    Hi, my slider function cannot work. Anyway to resolve this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      It looks like some of your plugin is conflicting. Please try the theme by removing your plugins.

  • CHris

    Hi Sami, how I can adjust the slider to be full width instead? (Sidebars should start below the slider) Thanks!

    • Chris

      Managed to figure that out. But I have another problem. I have imported my old posts and the comment count is not working right throughout the whole theme, even though there are comments existing. It says always “no comment” (@ the comment count) , but shows the comments in the single post. Any clues what I can do to fix that?

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        It should display the comment count properly. Have you tried adding the new comment in the old post and see if it appears properly then?

        • Chris

          Yes, if I add a new comment, it shows up right. Just those which I imported don’t show the count.

  • Le Taulier

    Hi Sami,

    How could I move the location of the search box? Actually I did put it in the sidebar but I would like to move it either in the menu (next to “contact”) or in the header.

    Thanks.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey, you can change the the search box position in the in the sidebar from the widgets. If you want to place it in the menu or in the header, you can edit the header.php file and place there.

  • Lorenzo

    Good evening, many thanks for you theme,

    I have a problem, because I would like to import the photos in the slider from picasa or facebook page, so that update automatically. How i can to do it?

    Also, i would to have the background in white way and write in black, how I can to change it?

    thanks

    • Lorenzo

      Hi Sami, is possible to do it ? Thanks

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Hey,
        You will need to add featured images for each posts, you can not import from the picasa or anywhere.
        You can change the background and text color in the style.css file.

      Have you tried any plugin for urdu/arabic script?

  • Lulu

    Hi Sami,
    your theme is so awesome. It’s almost ready, except for a few things
    1. the sidebar in the index and on the single post should start at differant heights. In which php file can I change the sidebar class of the single post? 2. Earlier someone mentioned comment count isn’t showing after an import. Was there a fix to that issue?I’m having the same problem
    3. How can I activate and use the full width page?

    Thanks for helping out.

    Hi! How i can show the author’s name under the title of the post? thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You would need to make a few changes in the theme for that.

  • Dave

    Hi Sami,
    I really like silverOrchid and I thank you for sharing it for free.
    I’d like to use it but I tried and have experienced some issue.

    1. The little post boxes aside the first image aren’t the size they’re supposed to be, therefore the partially cover the sidebar on the right.
    2. In the pages menu the title of children pages can’t fit in the box, so the title is just cut off
    3. The text super-imposed over the image slider has two issues:
    a. sometimes preceding the fist two lines of the post body it’s displayed a shortcode, like the one on the image caption
    b. the post title and the lines of the post body are displayed over a black transparent box but its bottom-left corner is apparently missing. For this reason the first characters of the third line of the post text aren’t readable because of the lack of contrast

    You can see a screenshot showing the problems here:
    http://postimage.org/image/73g3h8pg1/

    http://postimage.org/image/n52x1rv45/

    Thank you for helping out
    Dave

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hi Dave.. Are you using any plugin with the theme? May be some of the plugin is creating the problem.

      • Dave

        Hi Sami,
        you were right, some plugin were causing som of the problem listed.
        I still can’t understand how to change the width of second-level voices in the menu, can you please give me some hint?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          You can change the menu item widths from the style.css file.

          • Dave

            Thank you again Sami,
            I did it but i couldn’t be able to make second level boxes be the same. I set width to 100% and the result is that boxes adjust themselves to text length, as in the screenshot below
            http://postimage.org/image/xfwutxavx/

  • Hypebabe1

    Hello Again Sami,

    Your theme would have been one of the best on WordPress in my opinion if it had the following –
    1) A proper support forum where you could easily find your problems in an itemized manner like other theme support forums e.g Suffusion
    2) Images are totally screwed up – the setting needs to be fixed asap bcos this is really crucial and the way you are telling people to fix it just isn’t working
    3) Pagination and how to create offset, once again not covered anywhere and no where to find the information
    4) Flexibility – The options could come with a lot more ways of making the changes without users having to mess with the CSS editor.

    These are just some points I thought you might need to know for future reference. I will be uninstalling all your themes from my site. Goodluck

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thank you for your feedback. I agree with your points.
      1. I’m already working on the support forums and hopefully it will be up soon.
      2. I didnt set up lots of custom image sizes in the theme as it requires some of the server resources. I tried to explain in some of my previous comments on how to add image sizes but I understand it might not be very easy to follow without some programming knowledge. I hope to update the theme some time soon and add custom sizes.
      3. I didnt see problem with pagination, but I’ll check.
      4. In my opinion, I think its better to have only important options in the theme settings. There’s a field to add to custom CSS. I try to help users if they want to make changes in CSS.

      Thanks for giving the themes a try, hope you find some other wonderful theme which suits your need.

      • Hypebabe1

        Fair enough Sami. I like your theme very much – think its so much better than a lot of other WP themes. Once you’ve made the customization a little simpler, I would come back, even if I have to pay, I wouldn’t mind. Have a lovely day.

  • Andri

    Thank you for such a nice theme! I would like to ask why my sidebar is pushed to the bottom? (in front page only). After some researches through google, I have tried to seek for missing but there wasn’t any. Can you please help me?

    • Andri

      I mean “..for missing [/divs]“

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        May be its because of some of your plugin. Try removing them and see.

        • Andri

          Thanks for your response, Sami. It was my mistake – I found one missing [/divs] in one of the post. That was the culprit.

  • Andri

    Dear Sami,
    I have created Google search box, but found difficulties in incorporating it into my sidebar (located in right of the front page). I found a way around it, and used text widget and pasted the google cse code. It worked, but the search result it shows is listed within that ‘text widget’ area. How is the correct way to insert google search box to front page?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can try to paste the search box code in the siderbar.php just before this line:
      if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar

      • Andri

        Thanks much!

  • Andri

    I have the same problem with below question (comment #526066371). My only difference is that this happen only in Internet Explorer 8. With Chrome and Mozilla, the widget looks just fine. What could be wrong?

    Q: When I use the Widget Sidebar 125×125 Ads and use the 4 available slots for images the bottom two images do not have a space in between them? Images are formatted to correct size 125×125 any idea how to fix this?

    A: Add this to your css file:
    #sidebar .widget_ad125 li:last-child{
    float:left;
    margin-left:12px;
    }

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Its because IE8 does not support css last-child property.

      • Andri

        Thank you for your prompt reply Sami!

  • http://www.facebook.com/bwfilms Brian White

    Great theme! My plan is to use this for a business site more so than a blog. How can I hide the dates of each post? More so on the home page carousel and/or featured items?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You’d need to edit the theme files for that. For example open carousel.php, you will see line starting with
      span class=”date (around line 32), you can remove it. Similarly you can remove date from slider and other files.

      • http://www.facebook.com/bwfilms Brian White

        Awesome – thanks for the quick reply! I will see what I can do and let you know :)

  • Andri

    Sami, what is the maximum post displayed in carousel? Thanks.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      It displays 10 posts but you can easily change it in the carousel.php file.

  • Nevin

    What should be original image size in Slider,Carousel and Category parts ?? I uploaded photos to my posts as featured image but when I go back to site. these pictures look slurry …How can I fix it?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can check in the demo.

  • Danilo

    great template. I would like to ask how can I make clickable the images on the slider to read the post. At moment only a title of the post can be click. Thank you

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thats easy. You just need to make a small change in the slider.php file.

      • Andri

        Can you please describe what exactly code we should write to this effect? Thanks.

        • Danilo

          yea, I don’t know the code :) thaks so much

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Open includes/slider.php. Look for, < a href="< ? php the_permalink(); around line 45, cut that line and paste it before this line < ? php the_post_thumbnail..(on line 42).
            Look for on line 48, cut it and paste it right after on line 56-57.

          • Danilo

            Thank you so much!! Very good

          • Andri

            I tried to meticulously follow this instruction, but still failed (the link is shows as “fragment” when mouse is hovering). Can you please help me with a bit more detailed explanation? For example I noticed in slider.php there is two lines with “the_post_thumbnail” – should they be removed somewhere?

          • Andri

            If you have time, could you please kindly look at this Sami? Thanks.

  • Julitta

    Thanks for the nice theme. I was wondering how I can add a fixed text above or under (instead of the caroussel) the slider? Thanks in advance!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can add the text in the index.php file.

  • Danilo

    Hi, great theme!! I would like to ask how can i make the big photo clickable in the slider, to go on relative post. thanks :)

  • Mark

    Thanks for the theme!!
    What would be the easiest way to change the background?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can easily do that in the style.css file. Look for background: url(“images/main_bg.png around line 69 and replace it.

    Hey, you wanna hear something retarded? You’re gonna love this. I’ve been trying to figure out why, oh why, this theme made my page look HUGE in Internet Explorer, wrecking my brain, activating-deactivating theme, widgets, plugins… until I noticed that the browser was zoomed in :/

  • mark

    Great theme. I’d be very much thankful if you could help me on the following:

    1. Can I add a search box inside the menu bar, preferably to the right side? I found some methods at the following links, but don’t know whether they’ll work for our theme:

    http://www.cozmoslabs.com/358-add-a-search-box-to-the-thematic-menu/

    http://diythemes.com/thesis/rtfm/add-search-form-wp-wordpress-nav-menus/

    http://www.throwingabrick.com/wordpress/add-search-box-wordpress-3-0-nav-menu.html

    2. Can I use other menu plugins with the theme?

    Thanks in advance.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      1. You can add search box inside the menu. You can try by pasting the search form code inside the #gazpo-nav in the header.php file. Then you can adjust its style etc.
      2. You can try any plugin you like.

      • Mark

        The search box worked. Many thanks.

        However, the menu plugins seem to have some conflict with the default menu. Could you please let me know how I can disable the default menu functions?

  • http://twitter.com/RealHyder Real Hyder

    Thanks for nice theme.
    I have a question.. Why I cannot add php include in Header ad code???

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can only add html code. If you need to add php code, you can edit the header.php file and insert the code there directly.

  • Mark

    I kinda hesitate to request your help for resolving this problem because I know very well that it’s a result of my own modifications that I’ve done with your theme. However, as I tried my best to figure out the issue, but in vain and I think that it’ll be far easier for you to sort out the problem, let me share it with you.

    The problem is simple. A scrollbar appears just above the footer in my homepage, but not in other pages. As I’m sure that you’ll need the link to my page, I’m posting it here:

    http://www.helpbuyonline.com/in/books/

    The problem appears only in the homepage, and if you look at the other pages, there’s no such problem.

    I admit that I’ve done a lot of modifications including moving the sidebar from right to left. However, I hope that you’ll be kind to help me.

    • Mark

      I’ve also copied the style.css file to my public html folder. Here’s the link:

      http://www.helpbuyonline.com/in/books/style.css

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Hi Mark, open your style.css file and look for #content-container. Change overflow:auto to overflow:hidden. If you have more questions, please post in the new support forum.

    The only thing that I cannot figure out is how to have the homepage display only the post titles, with a thumbnail, instead of whole posts. Any ideas, anyone?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      The theme uses the_content function to display full post text. You can use the_excerpt to display only summary.

I have also searched and found some code suggestions, but no luck.

Please help!!!!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Please post the questions in the support forum. Thanks.

    • Glenn

      I fixed this in a somewhat dodgy manner I think. I created a png logo (though I was hoping just to use title and tag), saved this as an image and then posted the url into the header.

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        If you want to display the site title instead of the logo image, you can simply go to the theme options page and leave the logo field blank. it will show the site title then. If you have more questions, post them in the forums.

    You make some very nice themes. I have not seen too many theme of this caliber.

      Thanks Michael :)

    Slider doesn’t work even though it’s checked.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You need to add featured images to the post.

  • http://www.facebook.com/tom.lawyer Tom Lawyer

    I have 60 post and would like to feature them on my static page like it shows in the demo above, but can’t figure out how to do it. Any suggestion.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Homepage is easy to configure. Just add post featured images and select the category from the theme options page.

  • Steve MacLellan

    I have this theme on my website. There was an update for it today so I installed it. It has turned comments off. I’ve been trying to change this in the admin settings, but it doesn’t seem to matter what I click. There is no comment box appearing under my posts.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hi, there is no any problem with the theme. Just check your WordPress settings. Alternatively you can download the theme from above and install it, and see if that solves your problem.

    Great theme!

    A requested change: a sidebar for home page and a separate side bar for other pages.

  • jaleel

    how to add post without banner view pls help me

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      did you mean header banner or what?

  • http://www.facebook.com/Sascau.Valentin Sascau Valentin

    hi sami. thank you for this theme, but i want to know if it’s possible to move sidebar to the left or to create another one on the left side.
    thank you:)

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Yes, you can move it to the left by editing the css.

  • http://www.facebook.com/Sascau.Valentin Sascau Valentin

    it is possible to show only excerpts instead of full posts? like in gaspomag, for example. thank you

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      yes, you can use the_excerpt function instead of the_content.

      • http://www.facebook.com/Sascau.Valentin Sascau Valentin

        where i have to put this one?? i read about 260 pages in word

        HERE is the answer
        You can replace
        the_content with the_excerpt function in the includes/gazpo_loop.php file. Also
        in tag.php and search.php.

  • Baldwin

    why the images on the home pages do not show ?

  • Paul Collett

    Hey! Great work on a great theme. I was just wondering if you could let me know if there was way to remove the comment count from all posts and replace with author name? Otherwise. Top work

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thanks. Sure, there’s a way and thats easy. For example open includes/feat-cat1.php file and look for this around line 30, span class=”comments… remove that. Now you can place the function to display author name. For example just type this: the_author(); (you need to put inside PHP tags). It will remove the comments number and display post author name. You need to do the same for all featured categories (all the files inside the includes directory), and in the tag.php, search.php and single.php (these files are in main directory). If you have more questions, please post in the support forums (you can find the link above).

  • M.h.Anik

    Hey. It’s not showing image in slide box. Is there any perfect image size for slider images? If so then what is the size. Pls anyone let me know .

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can add new custom image size in the theme. Please check the support forum where you can learn how to do that.

  • Brett

    Hi Sami,

    Great theme! Could you inform me how I would change the installed slider options please? My feature images are stretching and I was wondering I could set the image dimensions somewhere?

    Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Thanks Brett. Sure, you can define image sizes in the theme, so that it would simply crop the images instead of resizing with CSS. Please check the support forum (you can see link above), it has been discussed there. If you’d still need help, post your question there.

  • jason

    is there a way to make the images in the Carousel linked

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      linked where?

      • Jason

        Like clickable so you click on the pic in the carousel and it opens up the post. There was another post like this but i tried the instructions and it messed the site up.

        • Jason

          ? Still looking for help on this issue.

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Hey Jason, That’s pretty simple. Open carousel.php file. Look for h5 around line 25. Copy the next full line which starts with “< a href" and paste it before the line which starts with the_post_thumbnail( around line 24 ), remmeber to close the a tag before the h5 starts.

          • Jason

            Thank you for your reply Sami. Trying to get the slider to do this as well. Sorry

          • Jason

            Please forget my last question. I figured it out. Thank you for the great theme!

  • ayas

    nice, let we try it :D

  • Gamer

    Hi Sami, congratulations for your theme, is really wonderful! Can you help me with a thing please? I really would change the main menu with another one from another template. What should I edit to do this?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can just copy the other menu style and change the css class name according to this menu.

  • Fashion Doll

    Hi Sami, this theme is won-der-ful!!!! you are fantastic! :)

    II’ve just downloaded and installed this theme and I’d like to update it to version 1.2.0 but, when I try to update via wordpress, it stops updating whit this message (that I translate in english) “the update pack can’t be installed. The plugin does not contain any file”
    I’d like to go to 1.2.0 version because you say it is better so, for doing this, it is not necessary to update this theme automatically. Having the new files is enough to me. Could you send them to my e-mail, please? Thank you so much, I really love this theme!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey, You can download the updated version from wordpress site or from above.

  • Erin

    I can’t seem to figure out where to go to get the “silverorchard gazpo.com replaced with my site’s logo in the header. Help, please!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I’m not sure if I got your question. You can download the silverorchid theme from above, and you can change the logo from the theme options, or simply by replacing the logo.png image in the images directory.

  • Joel

    Hello,

    Great theme, but I found a bug when the blog language has accents (for instance French…).

    When truncation occurs in titles/comments (in the slider for instance), if truncation occurs after an accentuated character, substr() function corrupts the character which is then replace by some kind of hieroglyph.

    This is because UTF8 encodes accentuated characters on multiple bytes, whereas substr() works in single byte.

    If the last character isn’t accentuated, all is fine.

    Replacing substr() by mb_substr() does the trick.

    I essentially did it in slider.php but might apply the change to all other pages as well for “safety”.

    Cheers,
    Joel

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hi Joel,
      Thank you for your comment, and yes I’m aware that the substr is causing problem for some foreign languages. I’m already working to update the theme which will be ready during next week. It will fix that bug.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey Joel, I’ve updated the theme, it should fix the problem. You can download from above link.

  • gemarel

    Hi Sami I’m from Greece and I LOVE this theme…but I have a problem with greek fonts and I can’t figure out how to customize the (Greek) text and make a strange symbol disappear at the point were the word is cut. Any suggestions? The symbol looks like this �

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hi, Sorry I’m aware that there are some problems with a few foreign languages, but I’m working to update the theme. It will be ready in a week and will fix it then.

      • gemarel

        Thanks Sami!!! Looking forward to your uptade

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Hey, I already updated the theme. You can download from the link above.

          • gemarel

            Yes that’s it !!! The site works just fine. SAMI you ‘re the best!! Thanks again.

  • Mart

    Hi there, I just installed the theme here http://x.co/pzbH which goes really well with my concept. The one issue I’m having is that I have shortcode installed on both the home page and listings page of my site and the for some reason my logo decreases in size on those pages. Something is conflicting, I’m just not so sure what, or how to fix it. Here’s a page with the logo at it’s regular size http://x.co/pzbL. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Open style.css file and look for this #gazpo-header .logo. Change width 300px to 440px (which is size of your logo image).

  • rusia

    Hi Sami,
    How can I disable the sidebar for this theme?
    Thank you
    Great job!!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      you’d need to remove from the theme files.

      • rusia

        Sami, I already removed this line in the archive.php:

        It is correct or I need to remove in other files?
        Thank you.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          You’d need to remove from many files, for example from index.php, search.php, tag.php, category.php

      • rusia

        I do not understand, why the sidebar was removed in other pages but on index page continues to appear in the final part. This is my website http://www.soselarca.org

      • rusia

        Thank you very much Sami for your help.

        I removed the line from the files archive.php and index.php.
        Now my site works very good.

  • ManhDat

    Great theme! Thanks Sami! Can you help me answer the following question, please!!

    How to create the link from slider ( 4 small things in the right (posted) ) to each its post. ( the same link in the following carousel ) ?

    please help me!

  • http://atlantabullpen.com/ Jim Hart

    Sami, great work on the gazpo mag theme. Only thing missing, imo would be more ad slots. Appreciate it if you could tell me how to place a 728.x 90 adsense slot under the navbar and one on the right side of the header. Thanks and keep up the good work!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Its easy, just edit the header file and place your adsense code there.

  • http://atlantabullpen.com/ Jim Hart

    Also, how would I change the blue color on the header to another color? Thanks!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You’d need to create your own header image and replace with the original one.

  • Phuong Hoang

    wonderful theme, thank for creating!

  • Andri

    Sami, in order to make the Gazpo forum functioning well, my humble suggestion is to de-activate the comment function in this page, and direct it to your forum page instead. Doing this, you will save yourself from having to repeatedly answering the same question over and over again. Besides, it will bring solution to problems in a more organized way. Thanks.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Andri, thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I’m thinking about this already because now I’ve to check both places and it takes double time. I was hoping that everyone can see the message above and post the questions in the forums.

  • Myand

    Hi!Great theme!I have a problem with excerpt, if I have shortcuts in a post ( like [layout show="3" cat1="150"] for example), front page excerpts will show it instead only content and image…can we fix that? Thanks in advance!!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Hey, the easy solution is to add some text in the start of the post. I hope to fix that in next update.

  • http://thelxl.com Theresa

    Hi Sami, thanks for making (and supporting) such a great theme. On my site, griffindyeworks.com, I’ve added some html code to the 468px header ad area, but it doesn’t show up in Chrome (on Mac) — I do see it in the theme preview (Appearance, Theme, Customize), but not on the live site. All other browsers are fine. Any ideas?

    • http://thelxl.com Theresa

      Nevermind. It was adblock! I’m a little surprised it was flagged/detected as an ad.

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Glad that you liked the theme.

  • thethaiguy

    Wow, this is an awesome theme and thank you very much for
    sharing! Right now, I am getting my featured photos in place. Again thank you
    for an awesome theme!

  • Otto

    I have a problem, I don’t know how to choose the image for each post in the slider, so I see only title, text and grey background on the slider. Can you please teach me how to pick an image for each post?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You will need to upload the featured image for the post. You can search on google on how to do that.

  • Gamer

    Hi Sami, can you pls tell me which is the code line to change the background of the featured category header? I found the .whitebg but it only changes the background of the box. greetings

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Look for this class #content h3.title

      • Gamer

        Ty for your reply, I fixed it! I have another question, sorry :P The carousel and the slider pick the articles by the category, there is any chance to take them from a specific tag?

        • Gamer

          bump ( maybe u didnt see this mex )

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            yes I did not see the message, thats why I mentioned above to post the questions in the support forums. Anyway, its very easy. You only need to edit th ecarousel and slider file and use the tag instead of the category in the loop.

          • Gamer

            Ty for your reply, Ill try to fix it then. I got a problem, in the title page instead of having just the article name, like this one in this page ” Wordress Magazine Theme | Gazpo.com ” I get this: Wordress Magazine ThemeGazpo.com | Gazpo.com. Why the website url is replied with the article/page name?

          • Gamer

            any idea for this? :)

  • Emma

    Hi there, I love this theme and am about to use it for my site when I get it transferred from another host. In the meantime I am working on my logo and wanted to check what size the logo needs to be to work ok with this theme.

        Thanks again!

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          You can use up to 300px logo.

    hi!! amazing theme,,, loved it!!! using it on my first project!i have a doubt. How can i bring categories on the top bar rather than pages?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You will need to select the menu for the theme.

  • kathy

    The RSS and Twitter counter widget you have on the top right, is that no longer available? I can’t find it.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      I had to remove it because the Feedburner has shutdown their API, so it can’t get the RSS subscriber count.

    Thank you for providing us with the theme, it is very beautiful and easy to customize!
    I’ve got two questions…
    1. How do I disable comments from the entire website?
    2. The carousel doesn’t seem to work like it’s supposed to, only works when I check the option to show the latest posts. Any ideas?

    Thanx in advance!

    HI, can you help me please? How can I make small thumbnails in slider clickable? I have made the big one clickable but I want everyone. Btw great theme ;) Thx for help

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You just need to wrap a tag around the slider thumbnails. If you have done with the big images, you can easily do with the thumbnails as well, check the thumbnails code on the same file.

    • http://www.tusitios.com/ rusia

      Please, can you tell me how did you do?

  • Elke

    Hi, I use this code for a chosen link in the menu:

    #gazpo-nav ul li.current-menu-item > a {
    background: url(“images/button_select.png”) no-repeat 0 0;
    }

    That’s ok. But in the sub-menu I want to show another image. I tried e.g.

    #gazpo-nav ul li.current-menu-item.sub-menu > a {
    background: url(“images/button_select.png”) no-repeat 0 0;
    }
    but it doesn’t work. Does anybody know what to define for the sub-menu?

    • Elke

      I found it, it’s

      #gazpo-nav ul ul .current-menu-item > a {
      background: url(“/images/button_middelgrijs2.png”) no-repeat 0 0;
      }

  • philip

    Thanks for a great theme! One thing: my thumbnail images in the carousel seem stretched. They seem okay in the media library. What to do?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      See the support forum, there’s a topic about that.

  • philip

    Thanks, Sami, for your quick reply.

    A different question: I’d like to add some buttons on the right-hand side of the navbar – not unlike on this site. I’ve tried adding an element within in header.php. It kind of works, but it messes up the navbar – it adds a lot of unwanted white beneath it. Plus, when I add another button, it places it below the first one.

    Any tips?

    Much obliged!

    • Jozef

      Yeah having the same problem, slider and carousel not working. Getting caused by the javascript error: Error: no such method ‘rotate’ for tabs widget instance

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Please download the updated version from above, it will fix the problem :)

        • Jeanette

          What will happen iwth the changes that have been made om the site? and the plugin?

    • http://www.zefwebdesign.co.uk Jozef Maxted

      I have a feeling it is because the new wordpress is including a later version of jquery which isn’t compatible with the theme

      • Cristian

        Maybe the guys from gazpa will give us a lower version of the file containing that javascript function :(

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          @disqus_tDygDTcjr3:disqus No, I wont give lower version, instead I’ve fixed the problem :) It was caused by the jQuery ui, as they removed some functions from the library. Anyway, you can download the updated version from above.

          • Cristian

            Thanks a lot Sami, it`s perfect now, and also thanks for the fast answer :D

  • Gloria

    CAnt i change the color to something else….i love the theme but the person am using it for wants a diffrent color.
    Is it possible?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Sure, everything is possible, and changing colors is very easy, just edit the style.css file.

  • Jenny

    Hi… I left a comment last night but for some reason it has disappeared? Anyway, thanks for a beautiful theme – I love it :) However, my slider seems to have gone funny – the images seem to have gone down the page rather than in the allocated spot. It wasn’t doing this before. Anyone else having this problem?

    • Jenny

      Just installed the new updated theme and it has helped a bit…. but images are now not showing up at all? http://www.travelgoss.com – appreciate your help :)

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        Hey Jenny, I don’t know what why your comment disappeared. Anyway, you need to add the featured images to the post, then they will appear.

        • Jenny Kellett

          Thanks for your reply :) I have all the featured images added – they worked before the update and now I’ve tried everything but they won’t show up :( plus the articles to the right of the slider look different to before. Hmm…. any suggestions? :) Really appreciate it – would hate to have to change themes, love this one!

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Updating the theme should not disturb the featured images. Have you installed any plugin recently? Can you try to add a new post with a featured image and see if that appears?

          • Jenny

            I just added a new post with featured image and it doesn’t seem to be working… The only plug-in I’ve added to the site is the official Facebook one – so I assume that shouldnt be an issue?

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            You shouldnt assume anything, disable it and try. I dont see any reason for the thumbnails to disappear. Do you have any live URL where i can see?

          • JennyKellett

            Hi Sami… Sorry about the slow reply – time difference is an issue! :) I’ve deactivated the plugin but still doesn’t seem to work. Here’s the link: http://www.travelgoss.com/

          • JennyKellett

            Ooh it has just started working again :) haven’t touched anything so not quite sure what happened – but at least it’s fixed itself! Thanks for your help

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Good for you Jenny. Not sure if it was your server’s cache problem or my theme got supernatural powers :)

  • ilea

    Hello Semi, the theme already work well with WP3.5 ?
    I am update WP recently, carousel and slider don’t work properly

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Check the update history above. I did update it yesterday to fix the slider and carousel issues with WP 3.5. The updated version is not yet in the wordpress.org directory yet, but you can download from above.

      • ilea

        Thank you Semi for quick answer. It was problem on my server side. I don’t know why but WP didn’t update the theme even I upload 1.4.0 version. I resolve it install theme via ftp. Now everything work fine:)

        • ANATOMIKA

          Hello there, same problem here. WP doesn’t allow to update the new version of SilverOrchid. I’ll try to do by filezilla. Please keep us updated. Thank you Sami for your time and effort.

      • http://globalparanormal.com/ Chuck Manning

        I know this is going to be lame but keep in mind I am relatively new to this and 50 years old ;-) but all I have to do is ftp the update and overwrite the current files to get the slideshow and carousel to work properly since WordPress hasn’t offered the update yet?

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Thats right Chuck. However, keep in mind this will erase all of the changes you have done in the theme (if any). If you have changed anything in theme, let me know and I will try to help you with replacing only the changed files.

          • http://www.facebook.com/elliottbg Elliott Buddah Gray Jr.

            Hello Sami I thought I was gonna have the same problem but I downloaded the zip to my cpu deleted the old Silver Orchid and install the updated version in wp3.5 and everything was already in its proper place. But I do have a question how can I have just one whole post(pic and all the words) on the homepage under the carousel without showing all the posts from the carousel and slider? Thanks

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Elliott, you would need to edit the theme files for that. You can for example delete the carousel file, and create a new file to display only one post with full content. Its easy.

      • rusia

        Sami,

    Hello Sami, would you please tell us what are the specific changes-files to make both the carousel and slider work properly? I’m trying to make the changes by hand as I can not updated by WP. I have tried copying the new functions.php, carousel and slider, but it didn’t work out. Thank you!

    How do you add the widget above the search box that display twitter and rss count?

    • Tester

      Wait nevermind… question.. how od i make it so my frontpage posts do not show ALL of the text and just SOME? and then have READ MORE.

      Secondly.. how do I add the featured image on my single posts on the post?

      • http://gazpo.com Sami

        You’d need to add ‘more’ tag from the post editor. Search on internet how to add featured images.

        • Tester

          Thanks, I got it! :-)

          One more thing, in the homepage… with slider and category features.. is there something you can do so the small thumbnails are not stretched? It looks bad :

    Sorry, I’m new to WordPress so please bear with me if this is the most obvious question. I have created Pages with titles such as About Us, Contact Us etc., which appear as expected on the top bar under the logo. However, I can’t figure out how to show the Home page link first, as I do not have a separate static home page. Help!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Go to the menus, select your menu, and in the pages menu, check all tabs, theres a checkbox to include the home link.

    Hi, I have problem with compactibility SilverOrchid with plugin Wp-Thumbie (http://www.blogsdna.com/5038/wp-thumbie-wordpress-plugin-from-blogsdna-lab.htm). Related posts are disordered (my testing page is http://www.autosalon-bratislava.sk). I am testing it with WP 350, theme SO 1.4.0 and latest WP-Thumbie. I think it is not in WordPress version, but in theme/plugin (functional is it on http://www.autosalonbratislava.sk)

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can try some other plugin if its not compatible.

      • Martin

        I tried it. Now it is not 100% perfect, but more better than before. In file wp-thumbie/wp_thumbie_verticle.css I made these changes:

        #wp_thumbie_thumb, #description {margin-left: 0px;} to #wp_thumbie_thumb, #description {margin-left:-20px;}

        #wp_thumbie_li {border-bottom:1px solid #EBDDE2; padding: 5px 5px 10px 0px !important;
        } I added a code and now it looks

        #wp_thumbie_li {border-bottom:1px solid #EBDDE2; padding: 5px 5px 10px 0px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px -40px !important;}

    Hi. I have just installed the theme. But am a little discouraged that there isn’t an actual custom css sheet. I don’t like using the tiny box within the options, as I do alot of customizing and am needing a bigger screen to work in. I have uploaded a custom css to the template directory, but am having a hard time calling it into my header.

    Help? Thanks.

      What you mean by no actual custom css sheet? You can either edit the style.css file or even better create a child theme.

  • Martin

    Hi, I have question. How can I change showing full posts to list of 10 excerpts on category page and search results page? Thx

    • hunujuk

      1. first you gotta go to wordpress dashboard and go to settings – reading, and set ‘blog pages show at most’ to 10 posts.
      2. then you open gazpo_loop.php inside includes folder and replace the_content($readmore_text); to the_excerpt($readmore_text);
      3. open functions.php and add the following code.
      function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
      return 25;
      }
      add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 );

      the number after return (I put 25 for example) can control length of your excerpts. I think it’s number of word or something. This code is for controlling your excerpt length.
      4. Open search.php file.
      5. replace the_content($readmore_text); to the_excerpt($readmore_text);

        this method is what I got from the other comments in here. I also tried it, and it worked for me…

  • BG

    Love the theme. It is better than several commercial magazine themes I’ve purchased. I do have a question, though. The slider has stopped displaying correctly. It is as though the div is too wide and it’s forcing the images themselves to be superimposed over the content beneath. The thumbs to the right of the image are showing where they’re supposed to be. Any idea what might be causing that? I deleted it and re-uploaded several times to no avail, and there doesn’t seem to be a conflict with any of my plugins.

  • BG

    Please disregard the last question. There was a conflict with the WordPress Poll plugin. I overlooked it. I do have another question, though. Is it possible to display post excerpts on the slider and feature categories instead of the first lines of text from the post? Thanks…

    Hi Sami; It appears that gazpoMag is no longer being supported (no comment responses from yourself for months) and since it’s now failing for so many, is there an idiot-proof way to migrate content to one of your newer and similar themes, hopefully one with support?
    .
    The WordPress previewer is useless for previewing, of course, so a changeover entails some risk. Darn, was finally getting things working well! Do you have a suggestion as to which theme would make the change most painlessly? Thanks!

  • Jimmy Dean

    Hello,

    I love this theme. The only problem is my menu is set by categories, and they display entire posts. Home page is awesome, but when you click on a category it is not so great. Anyway to have a category page look like the home page or at least show summaries and not the full articles? Maybe a category style not exactly like the home page. That would make this the best Theme there is out there. Any help would be appreciated.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      If you want to show the summaries in categories/archives, then you have to edit the theme.

      • Jimmy Dean

        I am not a web designer. It seems like a lot of people are looking for the same thing as I am. Is there a way you could design a plugin or update to make it like that? Or even a tutorial? I am sure all of the people wanting this could get some money together to donate for your trouble. What do you think?

    Hi Sami, how do I update the theme to the latest version? Directly to ftp? Do I need to delete the previous file? If so I’ll lost all the changes that I’ve done right? Help!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      In which file you made the changes?

      • Fiona

        I can’t recall but mostly style.css. There’s some minor tweaking in other files :(.

        • http://gazpo.com Sami

          Yes, you will unfortunately lose your changes if you decide to update. Thats why its important to create a child theme if you want to make changes.

          • Fiona

            No idea how to create a child theme Sami. I’m new to wordpress actually.

          • http://gazpo.com Sami

            Yes, you can still create a child theme. Its actually very easy. Just search how to create child theme. In short you will only need to create a new folder in themes directory, call it anything like silverorchid_child, and then just copy your style.css file in it, you will need to add a line in the style.css so that it knows its parent child.

          • Fiona

    Hi. How i change font in this theme? thx

  • http://www.tellmetxt.com/ Philip Wattis

    Great theme but I had a problem with the SLider option, whereby if I had an image in my content, and it had a caption, the slider would display markup code as the synopsis text, rather than the text from the beginning of the article, rendering the slider unusable. I’ve come up with a fix though:

    1/ Locate the file slider.php

    2/ Find the line that says:

    $content = get_the_content();

    3/ Insert the following code directly after this line (the code is between ‘—’, do not insert the ‘—’):

    if (preg_match(‘/[caption/', $content, $aMatches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {

    $removeFrom = $aMatches[0][1];

    // need to find the position of the closing [/caption]
    if(preg_match(‘/[/caption]/’, $content, $aMatches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE)) {

    $removeTo = $aMatches[0][1] + 10; // + 10 to ensure we grab the end of the tag

    // strip out the matched content
    $firstContent = substr ($content, 0, $removeFrom);
    $lastContent = substr ($content, $removeTo);
    $content = $firstContent . $lastContent;

    }

    }

    That’s it. If you know how to create a child theme I would recommend doing it that way rather than changing the original code.

      You dont have to do all this. You can just replace get_the_content with get_the_excerpt.

    Hi Sami, need some help. After updated to the latest version I now have a few problem:
    1) The date is displaying only month and day. Previously I’ve set it to full date (Day, Month, Year). Now I can’t seem to change it.
    2) Blog title and description is repeated twice on the tab. How do I fix this?

    Thanks.

    Hi Sami – I am trying to optimize my site to work with Meta tags for Facebook, but I’m not having any luck with any plugins or code. I’m want my posts to display the thumb, title and summary when I share on Facebook. Linked In works properly, but not Facebook. Facebook only shows the first image posted and the site title, not any individual post info. Can you assist me with this issue?

    Hi sami
    thank you for perfect theme
    You’d fixed stretch issue in last release
    But in Persian translated version, They didn’t fix the problem yet

    Which part in source, I must replace with your new code?
    I have to apply the fix partialy to keep language related modifications
    thank you in advance

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Its hard to say. You can download the latest version and compare the files. Mainly changes are dont in the functions.php, style.css and files in the includes directory.

    I cannot figure out how to keep the featured thumbnails from distorting. They are not proportional.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Download the latest version, that will fix the problem (but for the new uploaded images). If you want to fix older images, then you would need to upload the featured images to the posts again.

    • rusia

      I have the same problem in the slider. The new version doesn’t work.

    Great work Sami! i love this theme, i think the JetPack plugin is the main problem for some image loading issue with this theme. After deactivate all the image feature on the JetPack, image loading run smoothly.

    I saw that version 1.5 is out, but i don’t have a child theme, and i don’t want to remake all the changes to the theme i already use. Can you tell me which files are edited, in order to replace only them? I’m on 1.4
    Thank you in advance

  • Po svetu

    Hi Sami, using your theme with great success. Have a problem with last update though, usnig SiteWide Tags and when post from sub-side goes into slider it breaks it – smaller image is to large, the larger is to small – it uses 15X1500 thumbnail in both. No problem with other fields (e.g. Carousel, Category1-5). IT worked fine before. Any idea?

  • elmatus

    Hey Sami,

    I’m having the same issue with the carousel that others have mentioned. The larger picture portion is skewed and below the smaller thumbnail portion. I’ve updated to the newest version of your theme, but it hasn’t fixed the problem. Suggestions?

    I do like the theme very much and would like to use it. Of course, I need to get it to work first. :/

  • Goodvalley

    Have just downloaded version 1.5.0 and logo has dissapeared. It was 1072x100px. I also have noticed than sizes seeem to have been altered, so everything seems to be downsized a little bit in width. Sami, just wanted to say that perhaps you should have given some kind of warning before updating your themes, nobody likes to find out that his blog is suddenly “broken”.

    Hey,

    I really love your theme and it’s also very easy to adapt it for own needs. Great work and keep going on it.
    I just installed the 1.5 update yesterday and noticed that post-images on the front page are automatically resized.
    In 1.4 they were stretched to fill the whole width – is there any possibility to have this behaviour back? I don’t want to have the images resized :-)

    • Josh

      I tried to figure it out also out in any way but I don’t find the point where this happens.
      I just want the post-image that is on the caroussell to stretch over the whole width. they are automatically resized and now there is lots of space between picture and right-menu of the caroussell. how can I do it?

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You will need to edit the template files for the category.php, tags.php and search.php and use the grid structure and then add the styles to it.

    can´t find the category.php in the theme.. would like to change the category page, so it just shows excerpts

      You can create one.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      You can edit the posts loop in that file and get the latest posts instead of a specific category posts.

    After classes, we can add “Latest Features” in the title?
    And “latest articles” instead of having the whole, somewhat excerpt with post_thumbnail?
    is it possible?

    I’m using this theme on a site that I help run (http://www.alwaysfashionweek.com/), but I can’t figure out how to make the slider on the homepage work. I want the carousel to autoplay, but I’m not sure if I have to change something in a file or if there is just something wrong with the slider. Help please.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      There shouldne be any problem with slider or carousel. Are you using latest version of the theme? Are you uploading featured images for the posts?

      • Martin R.

        We’re using version 1.2.0. And we have been uploading featured images for the posts. I did just notice that there is a new version: 1.5.0. Does the carousel autoplay in that version?

      You will need to add readmore tag to display only part of the post on homepage.

    Hi Sami, I already left my question on your forum, but it seems like you don’t have a chance to see it…I’m waiting for your response, and I already put some screenshots and everything there. to explain the problem again, it seems like ending of excerpts in slidebars and feature categories are broken. they don’t show regular letters. they show strange symbol letter instead. as I said I put up the screenshots and everything in your forum. I’ll wait for your response. Thank you!

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Use the latest version, it should solve the characters problem.

      • hunujuk

        First of all, thank you so much for your reply. I updated your theme to latest version (ver.1.5.0), but the problem still exists. I thought about the reason for this character problem, and the only thing I could think of was some change I made on slidebar and feature category, for it showed [caption id="..."] kind of thing. I changed the code to the excerpt based on the replies I saw here for the same problem. I think the character problem showed up after I removed that”[caption id="..."]” sort of thing by replacing some of the slidebar and feature category code to “the excerpt”…Does it matter? Sorry for this long question again.

      • hunujuk

        the excerpt code that I’m talking about is this.
        149){
        echo ‘…’;
        }
        ?>
        this is the code I replaced with the content code in slider.php and I changed the number like 150 and 149 for feature category.phps because they have different number value. [caption id="..."] thing is gone, the only reason I could think of this random character problem is this…

    Hi Sami: I really appreciate your work on the theme. Just what I was looking for. I just installed this about a day ago and I am using WordPress 3.5.1. I created the category slider and set the featured image, however the images slider are not showing. Can you PLEASE tell me what I am doing wrong? The second part of my question is i changed the the_content($readmore_text) to the_excerpt($readmore_text), but i also wanted the image to show. So when the title or image is clicked it still open the full blog page page. I would really appreciate help. Thank you!!

    Hi I liked your theme very much, thanks for putting all the efforts. and I have downloaded it for using,

    What I am concern about is, the slider got 4 images, what if i want to have more images there ( I want to have 7)
    when i add 5th images the 1st one stops appearing. I dont want this to happen. Can it be possible if not then can i replace the default slider with any other similar but with more images option slider.
    Waiting for your reply.
    Thanks.

    • http://gazpo.com Sami

      Because you do not have much space there to display more than 4 images. If you want to increase number of posts, you would need to edit the slider style in style.css file to increase its height etc.

    Hi Sami,

    Thanks so much for a great customizable theme. It has everything I need for my travel site. I wanted to ask you though, whether it is possible to make a “read more” link on the slider, or make the titles link to my posts? At the moment, the ones on the right of the slider do not link when you hover over them. I truly believe this functionality would improve navigation for my readers and wonder if you could help.

    Many thanks,

    Hi Sami

    Could you perhaps help me understand what would cause the “published date” on the front page to only appear on the first article and not the rest in the loop ? This only happens on the front page. Each individual article (single post) displays it’s published date correctly.

    Many thanks

    Hi sami,

    At first thanks for your fabulous theme. I’ve gone through a problem since I install your theme. The homepage blog posts are not showing in excerpt. I’ve tried through the theme option page, but it didn’t work at all. I’ve looked through the wordpress forum for the problem, the solving is replace with in the index.php. But I couldn’t find any line like . I’ve found one in the loop template, it worked a bit, but it does not show the read more link, so can you tell me what should I do now?

  • Carles

    Hey Sami, your theme is one of the best I’ever seen aesthetically, I am using it since you released it.

    I have a question for you: I have a “News” category, and I don’t want it to be shown on the slider. But I want the rest of my categories to be shown. Could you please tell me how to modify the theme so only this category is NOT shown on the slider? On the other side, this same “News” category will be the one chosen for the carousel.

    Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

  • janie

    do I need to obtain hosting outside of wordpress in order to use this theme? In the readme.txt, its says:

    How to install:
    ————–
    Go to Appearance > Themes, Copy the theme folder ‘putte’ in wp-content/themes/ and activate it.

    I upgraded my wp account in hopes that I would see a wp-content folder to post to, but I do not… What am I missing? Thanks in advance,

    Janie

    Hey Sami, truly amazing theme, thank you for sharing this one. quick question, any way to move the side bar down in order to make the slider bigger? When ever I try, the slider is blocked behind the sidebar even if I move the sidebar down with the margin-top in css.

  • mario

    Hi Sami, this is one beautifull theme and thank you so much for share this with all of us. I am still new in this so i would like to aks how to disable showing TAGS on Posts and Category Listing. and i have install plugin to disable comments but now i have text Comments Off so i would like to remove that. Thank you so much

    • mario

      Great support. Thank you for help…

  • fayster

    Hi Sami…I am using this great theme on a couple of sites. Apologies in advance if these questions have been asked, but it is difficult going through all these comments (I’ve tried):
    1. Is it possible to create a header for the ‘recent posts’ that appear at the bottom of the home page. Right now, it is confusing as it looks as if they are on there twice.
    2. Even better would be to remove the recent posts from the home page altogether. Not the ones that are populating the categories/featured categories, then the page would be blank. Just the ones at the bottom. I’m ok with getting into the nitty gritty code, but need to know which file addresses this. My current solution is just to show 1 recent post, but the place you set that Settings -> Reading also sets how many show up on a post link and it looks silly just having 1 there.

    Sorry, can’t share the link as it is password protected portal for my work. Hopefully you get what I’m asking

    • fayster

      I figured it out. In index.php I took out ‘include latest posts’ around line 57

    Hello to everyone. I have a problem with the theme silverOrchid (version 1.5.0) on my websites wordpress (version 3.5.1). When I add a caption to a picture of a post (any) code leaks into the title area on the slider. Attached I am sending a picture that shows the problem.

    I would like if anyone knows the solution to this problem, please let me know.

    I thank you!

    I am using silverOrchid 1.5.0, WordPress 3.5.1 on seattlesportsdaily.com — Thank you Sami for the great theme. I love it.

    One issue — People using mobile phones, when clicking full permalinks are getting the main site page
    loading instead of the intended post URL.

    Have tested on both iOS (iPhone only – iPad loads full site) and Android ICS 4.1 using multiple browsers, so it appears to be something with WordPress or silverOrchid. I don’t know which. The intended target loads just fine on desktops and tablets that use full mode.

    I would just disable the mobile site, but the mobile option is missing from my Appearance sub-menu. I have even installed a few different mobile plugins and none will override the sO mobile, so I am stuck with this issue. How can I fix this?

    thank you so much! perfect for what i need :D

  • mario

    Ok since here nobody didn’t answer i guess i will help since people on wordpress forum give me support. to remove categories in template add this code to style.css:

    #content h2 {
    display: none;
    }

    And to remove comments, tags add this code to style.css

    #content .post-meta .comments, #content .post-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    can you tell me how to change background color in silver orchid theme?

  • jaspinder

    my blog is mindbusterz.com
    want to change the background color of silver orchid theme via css but dont know how

    • Alexis

      Look for the following in your SilverOrchid css style sheet:

      body {

      font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

      font-size: 13px;

      color: #ffffff;

      background: #000000 <— you can change the color to whatever hex color that you want.

  • Alexis
