ok I figured it out. The featured theme option is looking for tag not category.. tnx Excellent theme!
I’m glad that you like it. Thanks!
Hello, thanks for this very nice theme.Just wanted to ask, about the thumbnail. coz i have a problem with it. When i set the picture as a thumbnail, why is it that it automatically sets to 150×150 px and not on 200 and 200? like this one http://yfrog.com/dy150yj
thanks.
You have to set-up the size of the image during the uploading through the WP tool.
piervix, where is that wp tool? I have tried the setting up of the size when i upload, and click the “set as thumbnail” but still is at 150×150px. please help.
When you upload the image there is the “Edit Image” button that allow you to resize your image. It’s obvious that the image must be bigger than 200×200 px.
piervix, i got it now. haha… thanks. sorry for my ignorance. thanks again. I love your theme.
nope, that didnt work, but i did try in the settings>media>then set the size. it will work. thanks again.
Very clean and fresh design. and also like slider effect.
I love your blog, dont find many that are so clear, especially about this topic. It is nice to see that someone really understands.
.the chiefs look like they 4 real. they could make da playoffs
tnx Excellent theme! I had the same problem as “beau” and “vince”, but thank you to “vince” for its precision.
When I click the demo I get a database error. You might want to check that out. Would love to see a preview of this site.
