Thanks!

Hi,
I am having a terrible time trying to load this theme onto my wordpress site. I am fairly new to CSS and cannot troubleshoot anything. there must be an easy way to do this...
thanks

I really wanted to use the glass theme, but could not get timthumb.php to work. I did everything but a deliverance on the script, to no avail. It certainly may be a hosting issue, but I wanted a work around.

Came across this post about the "Post Thumbnails" feature in Wordpress (http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/wordpress-29-postthumbnail-to-replace-timthumb/20900). Noticed that themolitor even commented favorably on it.

So I found another website which explained how to enable the feature, and modify an existing theme in their environment to make it work. It is located on a competitors website, so for courtesy's sake, I am not posting the location — though thanks to Brian Gardner for his helpful commentary on this.

Here is all I did:

I enabled the "Post Thumbnails" by posting this script in the functions.php file (located in the wpglass folder).

// Enable post thumbnail support and set new image sizes
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'Featured Top', 70, 70, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'Featured Bottom', 110, 110, TRUE );

I posted the script just before the final ?> in the file so now the last seven lines of the file looks like this:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'create_meta_box' );
add_action( 'save_post', 'save_meta_box' );
// Enable post thumbnail support and set new image sizes
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'Featured Top', 70, 70, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'Featured Bottom', 110, 110, TRUE );
?>

Then I replaced all of the code in the thumbnail.php (also located in the wpglass folder) with the following:

<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘Featured Top’ ); ?>

Yes, that is all the code I am using in that file.

Lastly, open the Stylesheet (style.css) located in the dashboard:appearance:editor. Look for the .thumb occurrence and change it to .wp-post-image.

I also modified the border size (from 1px to 10px, and the width down to 80px so that the thumbnails appears better on my blog. The whole line now looks like this:

div.post .wp-post-image {border: 10px solid #b5b5b5; float: left; margin-right: 20px; width:80px;}

That's it. All you need to do now is upload your images, and select the "Use as Featured Image" choice now visible next to "Insert Image." Save all changes.

You can see my results at randalcutter.com

I have been able to figure out how to insert Shadowbox js links into my posts, but I can't seem to figure out how to edit the thumbnails on the main page so that instead of linking to the same place as 'continue reading' they simply pop-up the Shadowbox window.
Im linking to my work posted on Vimeo, and it would be great if there was an easy way for a user to browse through all the videos without having to leave the main page. But then if they wanted to they could still click 'Continue Reading' to see more details, related posts, etc...
I have been racking my brain to figure it out, but I'm still pretty green when it comes to interactive design.

To remove the drop down menu items, do the following...

1. Open "header.php"
2. Locate the following items in the "dropmenu"...
   <?php wp_list_cats('exclude='. $the_cat .''); ?>
   and
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&exclude='. $the_page .'&title_li='); ?>
3. add "&depth=1" to each so that they look like this...
   <?php wp_list_cats('exclude='. $the_cat .'&depth=1'); ?>
   and
   <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&exclude='. $the_page .'&title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
4. that's it!

Hello -

Please take a look at my blog using Glass: http://blog.darrenbagnall.com/ The formatting of where the logo appears in relation to the nav is off. Everything looks fine on the .psd fine.

Also - I can't get my widgets drop down to work and a link to Linked-In would be boss.

Thanks for any help.

is there anyway for the related posts at the bottom to suggest posts from multiple tags? I really would love to be able to use multiple tags without it just sticking to the first one! I dont mind if it would mess with the 'view all' link, as at the moment I'm not using it.

Either way, i absolutely love this theme and any help would be much appreciated.

hi again molitor,

I followed your instructions in the "requirements for the thumbnail images to work..." topic and I've read about every post in the darenhoyt forum. No success.
This is my problem:

My site was constructed in a temporary folder: besmet.be/wordpress
Thumbnails worked perfectly.
Yesterday the site was supposed to be launched so I moved it to the root folder: besmet.be
(To do this, I followed these instructions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
no problem what so ever)
So now the thumbnails aren't loading any more. Instead the linked alt text is shown.

I found out the script does create the thumbs in the cache folder, so this link works:
http://besmet.be/wp-content/themes/wpglass/scripts/cache/357eee813744fad16647c905c76bbb59.png
But, when loading the front page, the timthumb script still looks for the image in the old wordpress folder:
http://besmet.be/wp-content/themes/wpglass/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://besmet.be/WORDPRESS/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Picture-1.png&w=210&h=145&zc=1

As you can imagine, I need to fix this ASAP, so a quick reply would be very much appreciated.

There is a minor bug with the menu that needs to be fixed. I'm uploading an update soon, but since it just addresses this menu bug I'm going to post the fix here as well...

1. Open "header.php" and locate the following on line 95:
   <?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'main', 'container_id' => 'navigation', 'menu_id' => 'dropmenu')); ?>
2. Replace the above with the following:
   <?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'main','container' => '')); ?>
3. Open "style.css" and locate "#dropmenu"
4. Replace the above with "#dropmenu,.menu"
5. Open "scripts.js" and locate the following towards the bottom:
   "jQuery("#dropmenu ul").css("display", "none"); // Opera Fix"
6. Replace the above with the following:
   "jQuery("#dropmenu li > ul").css("display", "none"); // Opera Fix"

hello again Molitor,

how can I change the date format on the front page?
I'd like it to be the European model day/month/year instead of the American month/day/year.

thanks

Hi,

is there a way once i click a menu item the content will show up and the menu will NOT collapse but will stay open?
I have a menu structure with like 3 sublevels and it's sort of time-consuming that once i clicked a menu item and want to choose another one let's say from the 3rd sublevel to go through the whole hovering process again.

I would appreciate any help or tip where in the files i need to look up for tweaking!

Thank u in advance!

hello mate.... ^_^
how to enable twitter status on footer like your theme on http://www.themolitor.com

^_^

i am having some trouble with the HOME description
like for instance, when i click and open a PAGE in the navigation on the left, right above that it gives me the name of that page, or with my post and categories are the same, but on the default HOME page, i get a blank line, meaning there is nothing written in the box where normally as i understand there should by the name of my BLOG, would you know why this is happening, because i saw that it has the same PHP code as the COPYRIGHT at the footer, which does give the NAME but not on the main BLOG

Hi, I'll try to be clear... ;-)

I would like to add a delay to some of the animations but the delay fonction is only available in jQuery 1.4 ( http://api.jquery.com/delay ). So I tried replacing the jQuery 1.3.2 code in scripts.js by the jQuery 1.4.2 code (http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js) but it seems that it doesn't work that easy.

If possible, I would like to have a scripts.js file using my already loaded jQuery 1.4.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.0 in the site's header if possible. So things are not loaded twice.

Many thanks for your time and help. ;-)

Hi,

It seems that the thumbnail image doesn't work with Wordpress MU. The path to the image file is not good in the generated html.

Any idea of what I can do about it?

Many thanks for your time and help. ;-)

I'm getting this message in my newly purchased Glass theme:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://circa42.com/2009/10/stefan-sagmeister-%e2%80%94-the-power-of-time-off/) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/www/circa42.com/wp-content/themes/WP Glass/wpglass/functions.php on line 189

I have the no categories showing in my nav bar and I would like it to be removed. Also, what do you use for your contact from on your site. I used cformsII and it doesn't' blend in with the site.

The social links aren't displaying. Can you help me with this. http://www.lanceblaise.com/podcast

Great theme!!

There are separating lines on the front page between each post. But as I see the first one is a straight line with a shadow and the next is a dotted line. This changes for each next post.

I couldn't find anything so that it would be ever the first one (I like much better).

BTW: This is a great theme

Thanks for any help

Hi there.

I wanted to know how I can change the navigation script so that you have to click on the category for its subsequent categories to display, rather than hovering over the different categories and its sub-categories displaying.

On the site I am working on (http://combinecultivates.com/) if you mouse over "Cultivate Categories" for example, its subsequent categories drop down below. I was hoping that I could change this so that if you click on "Cultivate Categories" its sub-categories will show up.

Is this possible? I have gone through the several php files to try to figure it out on my own, but can't seem to resolve it.

Thanks!

Hey Molitor i just purchases the glass theme and I think is pretty awesome.

Im having an issue with pages, they are giving me some php errors... i'll paste it below. Any feedback would be helpful, thanks!

Hello. Looking to buy the Wordpress Glass template. Are the images a fixed size/ratio. I would like to use portrait oriented photos (ie, 400px W x 600px H).

Is this possible with the template as is, and how will the thumbs be sized?

Lastly, are the thumb sizes adjustable as well?

Many thanks,

Paul
