Hi i hope you can help me with this problem
when i try to create a static home page i get
two home pages like this:
(Home) (About) (Contact) (Home) (Blog) (Support)
How do i remove the other home page after creating
the static home page..
Hi Karl,
I assume you mean in the Top Horizontal Nav Menu?
Just use the theme editor to make the file topnav.php look like this..
Hope that helps
Kevin
I go into EDIT THEMES and into topnave.php
and it shows the same as in your screen capture
do you mean that i sould delete the script in the red box in your screan capture
Karl,
Make yours look exactly like the screenshot. You are commenting out the second line in the red box, by putting comment tags at the beginning and the end, as shown.
HTH Kevin
Thank you got it now all sorted thanks again for your help..
Hi the theme looks cool, but I’m having a few tech difficulties
One is that no matter what browser I am unable to view the tutotial video. It simply does not load. Do you have another link to view it? Secondly, even though I change the theme settings colors for background, nav, etc. they don’t change. I have cleared cache and tried on numerous occasions. Is there another place I can go to code these changes?
Thanks so much.
Update- I finally got to view the video. Still trying to figure out how to change settings. Thanks.
Hi Margie
Thanks very much for the feedback.
Glad you got to see the video eventually. I have now modified the page, to make it load faster (I hope!).
I’ve just downloaded and installed the theme in a test blog and it seems fine. Are you using version 1.01?
If you are, but the navigation settings are still not working, please download the theme again from the download page. There was a small version mix-up when I first uploaded the theme back in January.
Thanks
Kevin
Hi Kevin… thank you and great job with all. I would like to take out that boarder around my Lifelock ad in the header which is a great ad space as you have mentioned. That border as per my site throws the eye off and it also clicks back to the site… I would just like to have it go away… and leave the simple Lifelock banner there it seems the whole header is clickable for some reason and would just like to have it be clickable where it makes sense i.e. title and Lifelock banner and of course have that boarder go away as mentioned. I tried to do this in the Header section but could not… can you please help… here is my website to check out my problem to be solved
Thanks
Eddy
Hi Eddy,
Thanks for providing the link to your site. Nice looking site – well done.
To remove the border around the header image, find this code in the file style.php (use the theme editor in the Admin)..
#header-box {float: right;
width: 250px;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: 30px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #ffffdd;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid #cc0000;
text-align: center;
}
Remove the border and the background color in the ad box, by removing those style element like this..
#header-box {float: right;
width: 250px;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-right: 30px;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 1.2em;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}
Now for the second part… to stop the header area being clickable, find this line in header.php
div id="header" onclick="location.href='< ?php echo get_option('home'); ?>';" style="cursor: pointer;"Either remove the clickable area entirely..
div id="header"Or perhaps, change the destination
div id="header" onclick="location.href='yourdomainlink.com';" style="cursor: pointer;"Hope that helps.
All the best
Kevin
Thank you very much Kevin, for the very quick reply which worked and solved my question… and thanks for the compliment on my site it is because of Michael S. Brown and yourself and your wonderful program’s that this is coming together for me and for that I am grateful!
Robert asked today,
“I’ve finally managed to get a clickable image on the left sidebar of PowerBlooger theme, but it’s still got the red box around it. How do I get rid of it.”
Here’s my reply..
Hi Robert,
I could be certain, if had a link to your site, but I’m pretty sure it’s this..
Find this code in style.css (use the Theme editor in Admin)
div#offerbox {border:2px dashed #CC0000;
margin:5px;
padding:5px;
text-align:center;
}
And remove the border style..
div#offerbox {margin:5px;
padding:5px;
text-align:center;
}
Hope that helps,
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
That worked a treat! Many thanks for the quick reply.
Best wishes,
Rob
Kevin,
I REALLY like some of the features of your theme. I’m no pro at this and the questions may be lame, but here goes:
1. I see how to change the number of feature posts in the code, but can’t seem to locate the control for the number of lines shown on the front page.
2. It seems redundant to show a featured post(s) at the top and then again below. Can the loop be changed to exclude the featured posts.
3. The “archive” page is blank. What should I do?
I’m using Flexy 1.02 and my site is at:

Thanks for your help…..

Hi Steve,
Thanks for trying it on your site.
1. The number of posts shown on the front page is controlled by Settings>>Reading>>Blog pages show at most.. Set the number to what you want to show.
PS, I think you mean the number of lines of the featured post, which show? This is controlled by putting the “more” tag in your post.
2. I understand. If you don’t want to show a featured post twice while it’s current, I suggest altering its post date to earlier, so it does not appear in your latest posts.
3. The archive pages look fine to me, when selected from the drop-down menu in your sidebar. You appear to have also created a page called “Archive”, but I don’t know what you have written on it.
Hope that helps,
Kevin
