Thanks for following up!

Hi Chris,
Yes, I understand. If it helps (someone) though, I fixed the space issue. I didn't want the mesh on my website, so when I took out that line in body in the CSS, it left me with a lot of height space at the bottom. I didn't realize that the mesh is also declared in the footer php. So I just took out the div for that, and it's all set!
OK, I will rate the theme.
Thanks Chris.

Hi there,

For details about the post thumbnails feature of WordPress, please review this resource: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails

Regarding the extra space, I'm not sure as that isn't there by default and unfortunately I'm unable to troubleshoot customized code (too many possible causes).

Regarding additional features/customizations, unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to handle those requests here. Please use this form to customize the theme for your specific needs/project: http://themolitor.com/custom

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Chris

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but just came back to editing my website; I was a newbie from the beginning and then I had to take a break for awhile and forgot a lot of the things I learned!
Can you also tell me why I have so much "green" space...like the scroll down seems endless after my post box. It happened after I took out "mesh", which shortens the length of the page. But once I took out the mesh, the length of my website increases, with just empty space. I'm at kindakindra.com.
OK, and last one...
I went on the thread where a user was asking about adding social icons that are not available because of the hard-coding in Photoshop. Is this something that can qualify as being put on your to-do list of ways to improve the usability of this theme in the future? Technology changes so fast and I understand everyone's individual preferences for social media is different so can't be universally applied. But icons like My Space I don't think a majority of people are using anymore. Is there any way you can just create empty icons that can be easily coded by people in the future?

And/or, could you describe the values and the vocab. used here:

//FEATURED IMAGE SUPPORT
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size( 340, 340, true);
add_image_size( 'post',9999,340 );

the post thumbnail is how the image is displayed beside another image, correct? Like in the mini gallery that shows images 2 at a time. And the numeric values represent how big it will appear in this little gallery before you click on it, correct?
The image size is how the image appears when you click on it? And is the value "9999" representative of unlimited width, and 340 the height?
In order to get my images to line up when they are presented side-by-side, they should ALL be saved with the same dimensions that I make for the above values?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I don't know if he'll see this thread, so can you respond to my other questions? Especially the one about the line-up of images? I noticed images line up on the demo of the Novelist when you look at them side by side. Is there some way of ensuring this?

Hi there,

That's just the background image he's using: http://www.devisecubed.com/generalIllustration/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bg.png

I'm not sure if he subscribes or not. If he doesn't reply, you can still submit a customization request here: http://themolitor.com/custom

Thanks!

Chris

Hey, thanks for the response Chris.
I see how the logo and text are the same image now, but he even has some images (as part of the logo) on the far right hand side of his website. ????
Does steveo get emails from this thread?

Hi there,

The logo and text are the same image. See here: http://www.devisecubed.com/generalIllustration/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/giLogo.png

Regarding the other customizations he's made, I'll let him respond.

Thanks!

Chris

Oh! and...
stevodesign...on his website, he has one picture as his home page without the line in the middle (which gives the theme its book appearance), but on another spot on his website, he preserves the line. How to do that?

Hi Guys,
This is a great thread, and thanks Chris for giving Novelist users the chance to showcase their creativity with your wonderful theme!
I don't know if it's possible to contact members on here directly, but I wanted to ask (steveodesign)--I did so before awhile back--how it is possible to split the logos in the header? The Novelist currently only allows one image upload for the logo, but I want the opportunity to upload a pic for the logo, and then another upload for some writing to the right of the logo. I tried this before, uploading everything as one single file, but elongating the pic to make room for the writing compromises the quality of the pic. I really love how steveodesigns logo looks like numerous split-ups. Is this really a split logo, or is this all in one? Any advice? I did also contact customization, but I really don't have the money right now!!! Is there coding for this?
I would also like to know how--also on steveodesign's website--it is possible to get each picture in the thumbnails (that displays the posts two at a time)to line up perfectly with each other? I may upload one pic for example in a post and then do the same with another, but they appear obviously as different sizes when side by side. Ideally, I'd like all my pictures to be the same size in thumb nails and featured images.
Help?!

Hi there,

The image still has "340x340.jpg" at the end of the url, which means it was cropped to 340x340. Make sure you remove that image and assign the new image as the feature image.

Thanks!

Chris

Here is how I edited the code.

//FEATURED IMAGE SUPPORT
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size( 716, 1024, true);
add_image_size( 'post',9999,1024 );

I did as you said and re-uploaded the images but it did not change the dimensions. Is there a part 2 to this that I need to know? I looked through the css and didn't see anything that would constrain the size.

Thanks,

Awesome!

Please don't forget to rate the theme on your downloads page when you have the chance. It REALLY helps.

Thanks!

Chris

Yes it does!

Cheers!

Hi there,

The image sizes are controlled from "functions.php" on lines 23-26...

//FEATURED IMAGE SUPPORT
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails');
set_post_thumbnail_size( 340, 340, true);
add_image_size( 'post',9999,340 );

If you make changes to these numbers, you'll need to either reupload the image to have the updated dimensions applied OR use the "regenerate thumbnails" plugin.

Hope that helps!

Chris

What about just changing the size of the featured image being displayed? Can you give some insight how to change this without going to http://themolitor.com/custom

Hi there,

The home page is controlled from the "index.php" template file. The single page is controlled from the "single.php" template file. You can research the adjustments you want to make there.

If you need additional help with this customization, please use this form: http://themolitor.com/custom

Thanks!

Chris

I would like this page http://www.devisecubed.com/generalIllustration/ to display like this page http://www.devisecubed.com/generalIllustration/1/ I can't find the area where you can adjust the image size.
