hi guys,

to show up the thumbnails, what custom field does it use?
my precious theme uses thumbnails too, under the “Thumbnail” fields…
the question is, how do I edit theme to match the custom fields with ones I’ve made before?

ps: sorry for my bad english….I’m still learning :)

Ignore the gravatar question, i’ve found out where to change it

Sorry, now i know how to make the thumnails, Great theme…Im going to use it for my blog, Thanks

Thanks… anyway… and Great Job.

I have to say that this is the best Wordpress theme yet. Well to me at least. The one problem I kept on having was the thumbnail image issue that a lot of people seem to be having. I think that the majority of the people that continue to have this issue might be doing what I kept on doing. I now feel dumb for doing it, but being new to Wordpress, I didn’t know better. Here is the wrong way I added the image. I would add the image to the body of the blog. As that turns out, that is not what you do. What you need to do instead is upload the photo to your site, using wordpress. Then get the URL for and then put that URL in the Magzeen Post Options. That took me hours to figure out. Sometimes we just try to make things more difficult than they have to be.

it’s one of the most perfect templates I’ve seen! thanks a lot for sharing!

Hello, I need help and maybe someone can help me.
First of all thank you for this theme.

I need to change the adresse feed ont he RSS button.
Can you help me?

Thank you

Great theme, thank you for making this available.

To those who have noticed the issue where hovering over the Latest Articles thumbnails sometimes causes the text to overlap with the article names, there is an easy fix: Open the functions.js within the js directory and change the fadeIn value on line 19 from “1000″ to “100″. All this does is speed up the fadeIn animation of the text and solves the overlapping text issue.

Hello all

I´m having a little problem with my little pics on the top. This is the picture right here http://img10.imageshack.us/my.php?image=isoca.jpg

Can anyone help me?

I have MSN ( msn@vetora.com.br) and Gtalk (publicidadeba@gmail.com)

Thanks
Guys

Can anyone tell me how to fix the bug that has the comment submitted dates showing the same dates as the date the post was created?

Great theme otherwise.

I am also having an issue with the comment dates – all comments use the date of the post regardless of the actual dates of the comments. I noticed that @Hahn did post a solution but the code he inserted in his comment does not appear. Does anyone have a fix for the comment-date issue?

Thanks, and great theme!

great theme! thank you! what can i do with the psd file? im aware its the template source but…if i want to change the theme color images how do i export it?

Great theme! Thanks for this.

Maybe someone can help me with a little problem? Would be great. It seems that the jQuery Latest Image Showcase won’t work correct with Firefox 2.x.x.xx (checked with different versions) and IE 6.0. The text (post topic) will be showed over the thumbnail and not above.

You can see this on the screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/magazeen-jquery

Sorry, I’m a newbie on this stuff.

Can’t download theme- Failed to Connect

Hey guys, this theme is AMAZING! but 1 problem that I really need help with.
It doesent allow people to post comments! and under the comment box it gives me this error at the bottom

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_previous_comments_link() in /home2/imbedgfx/public_html/allengfx.com/wp-content/themes/magazeen-wordpress-theme/magazeen/comments.php on line 54″

does anyone know a fix for this?

Вот это да! Благодарю! Теперь на неделю есть работа! :)

pleas send me best seller picture

This is a GREAT theme, but for some reason today it screwed up on me ( or — more likely — I screwed something up)! When I look for it in WordPress I can’t find it. Is the theme still available?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, I’m a n00b.

How can I change the color of the header? When I change in CSS it seems to be a image in the middle and I cant find how to change all like a one blokc
thanks

can I add a “next page” “previus page” to this theme?

if yes… how?!

thanks

you really believe that by writing “do not spam” above the comment text box Nobody will spam you? lol, you looks very smart guys lol stupid

spam spam spam

Can someone please assist with a workaround on getting pagination – previous page, next page, older posts, newer posts – working? This is quite frustrating..

Why hasn’t such a feature been implemented into such an incredible theme? This is something nearly every blog writer would want, of course.

Other than that, awesome theme. Thanks for releasing it free of charge.

Nice theme.

Which font is used for “magazeen”?

i am having same problem with errrors (same message as @errors above) when i try to install. thanks.

For me work correctly!! I have only a problem with Firefox 3.5 visualization in the post Hedaer miniature image.

“when i use it on h3 title”, sorry :-)

I see alot of questions about the title of the post doesnt show up when rolling over the thumbnails at the top of the page (or the dock or the jquery section). i have the latest WP, and deactivated all other jquery plugins with no resolution. someone please help. this is a very important part of the theme I believe. please advise.

@div – your fix works for old comments but now the the theme won’t publish any new ones. =(

I am getting this error -

Looks like somebody else is having the same issue? Any fixes to the latest download zip file?

hi,

thumbnail problem.

lates articles..

dlv
thanks for your reply regarding the comment date problem. all fixed now, thanks!

@julie:follow me on twitter ( @dlv_ )to view your website and try to understand which is the problem…
Just for start, try to remember which changes you have made in theme.. perhaps something you touched is the beggining of the problem

anyone willing to help me now with the tag cloud? the tags hang over the widget dimensions. thanks.

Sorry, call me stupid (or newbie) but how do I change the copyright notice to the current year at the bottom of the page?

Thanks.

@ Dan, I had to do this ’cause by default it says “2008.” Its in the footer.php under

TO FIX DOCK TITTLE’s:

This is my dock-javascript code that you can see working on my website (not finished 100% yet.. the link is on comment #355), this is inside “functions.js” file.
This isn’t my entire javascriptn file of course, just the dock:


$( function() {
$( '.category' ).click( function() {
$( this ).toggleClass( 'active' )
$( this ).siblings( '.dropdown' ).toggle();
$( this ).find( '.indicator' ).toggleClass( 'indicator-active' );
return false;
} );
$( '#dock > li' ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
$( '#dock > li' ).hover( function() {
$( '.latest' ).stop().fadeOut( 'fast' );
$( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeIn( 200 );
$( this ).stop().css('opacity', 1);
}).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
$( this ).stop().css('opacity', 0.5);
$( this ).stop().children( 'span' ).fadeOut( 200 );
} );
$( '#dock' ).bind( "mouseleave", function() {
$( '.latest' ).stop().fadeIn( 500 );
} );
});


I’ve change the position of the tittles (under the post-images), I did it with CSS.
I hope you fix it. Also, it’s rare, the first time I installed, all animations (included titles) work nice.

@julie To see me on twitter, my user is “dlv_” .. you have to got a twitter account of course :)…then, you can follow me typing twitter.com/dlv_

@RandomJan: nice to hear that..

if someone read this… julie’s contacted me and i saw this problem: she has a conflict between Instant Slide Up javascript and jQuery…

We have the same problem – the images are not shown and the tags hang over the widget dimensions. Can anyone help us?
Thanks

Hi thanks for this amazing wp theme!

I downloaded the .psd sources thinking slices would be shown so that I can change colors easily and save the image files perfectly but it’s not the case.
Could someone tell me how to save new theme image files from the psd source? which image file goes with which layer for instance? that would be neat! thanks!

Great theme, but How can I remove the search form in the header and insert 728*90 adsense unit instead.??

Great theme only the pics don’t show up in the sidebar. I’m not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help?

@Sophie: yes, there isn’t slices in .psd source file. Make your own images or edit the .psd and try to create slices that match with the original sliced images.
If you look at my theme modification, i make my own images, i’ve just open the .psd just one time for fun, i’ve never edited it.

@Kyle: what I’ve done in my website (in dock area, right side…the “fading” icon) is something like you want ? My website is http://www.demianvillanueva.com/blog/

@PalSoftwares: to remove the search from, open HEADER.php and remove the line 42:

@Rina: like Mauro said, try doing what i’ve explained in comment number #339

whoops, that code should be:

<blockquote cite="<img src="/timthumb.php?src=ID, “image_value”, true ); ?>&w=69&h=54&zc=1″ alt=”" />”>

I’ve been using Magazeen successfully for several months but I’m suddenly getting the same error message as boylogik above (Feb 29)

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in ……./wp-content/themes/magazeen/functions.php on line 107

I’ve disabled all plugins and still get the error so it’s not a plugin conflict. Anyone have any ideas? I’m using WP 2.8.4, but I’ve been using it for awhile and the problem only emerged today, so i doubt that’s the issue either.

Hmmm….still a little flaky – all seemingly related to the Featured Posts widget. No clear solution – I finally just disabled it :-(

thanks Harvey and 2ny for share your experiences

Can anyone help with this little tweak?

I need a little help modding the Comments Tab, please.

Here’s an image indicating what I mean:
http://tinyurl.com/ycwg4kr

Could someone point me in the right direction for the CSS on this?

My email is kiki77 (at) comcast (dot) net — but I’ll be checking back on this page, also for any posted answers.

I’m just not sure if it would it be a style.php + comments.php combo mod, or style.php only. I have this theme perfectly tweaked, other than this and I just don’t want to mess anything up.

I’m familiar with CSS mods, but if you have the answer, the more specific the better and VERY appreciated.

Thanks so much.

ok,why did i read all this?

Done & works great :)
Thanks a lot William :)

Can anyone give me a few pointers?

I’d like to make my header to an click-able image and to push the h1 text off screen. I’ve looked at sites doing the same with Magazeen using the Mozilla firebug plugin but I’m a complete beginner and cant work out where to begin – in the style.css or the header php? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you so much for this theme. Installed easily and I’m sure it will work a treat when I know what I’m doing!

If people still have problems with the thumbnail photos, there is a easy fix for it.

And put it into your Magazeen folder.

It finally work on my website.
What i did : replace all the code in timthumb.php with the following code :
sorry it is long but it s working

For me the thumbnail problem has been solved. Took me a while, but in the end all i needed to do was delete the cache directory, recreate it and chmod it to 777. Works like a charm now.

teşekkür ederim

When i’m trying to install, it won’t work

Wordpress says it failed because the stylesheet is missing?

Someone knows how to fix this?

tnx!

I love this theme but would like to display more than just two results on the category/archive/search pages. Only the two most recent entries are displayed then you have to click ‘older entries’ to view more.
Thanks

Hi guys!! Look, me and my boyfriend have the solution for the *thumbs* :D
You just have to put the CHMOD permissions to 755 to:
/cache
/timthumb.php
/uploads/
And TA-DA!!!
Thank you for this awesome theme, it really works!

Hi everyone, I have a problem with the last posts dock.
It works fine, but if browse posts by tag, the dock shows also my pages and i don’t want this to happen.
Any sugg.?

merci for this great stuff. i’m still working on it but seems to be great. a lot of fun.

Anyone know how to make photo captions show up? I have text in the “caption” field in wordpress, but I can’t see it anywhere and I’m not sure where to edit the code. I only need it for the post itself (and not the thumbnails in the sidebar).

i did succeed to overcome the problem.. i used this file..

http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2008/04/02/timthumb-php-script-released/

and copied the codes from the below link to my timtthumb.php ..
http://timthumb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/timthumb.php

finally working smootly
