Hi Chris,

I would like to begin with a token of Thanks. I have purchased this theme in May and have been using it happily. I have given a positive review on themesforest and have been a word of mouth promoter of your work.

Keep doing the great job. By the way do check my website if you have time - http://www.crackmymba.com/

I intend to make few changes and incorporate flash on leaderboard. I will give a shot with your inputs here.

Thanks again bro and keep up your awesome work.

Awesome! :-)

worked like a charm! Thanks!

Hi there,

Maybe try adding it manually to the theme?

The header ad is controlled from header.php on lines 112-116...

<?php if($topAdImg && $topAdUrl){?>
<div class="advertising">
	<a <?php if($newWindowAd){ echo 'target="_blank"'; } ?> href="<?php echo $topAdUrl; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $topAdImg; ?>" alt="" /></a>
</div><!--end advertisting-->
<?php } ?>

The footer ad is controlled from footer.php on lines 19-23...

<?php if($bottomAdImg && $bottomAdUrl){?>
<div class="advertising" id="footerAd">
	<a <?php if($newWindowAd){ echo 'target="_blank"'; } ?> href="<?php echo $bottomAdUrl; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $bottomAdImg; ?>" alt="" /></a>
</div><!--end advertisting-->
<?php } ?>

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I have some experience with Wordpress and I think it will take a couple of coding and editing to work it out. Customization Request guys gonna cost me a lot for such things, that's why I am not gonna reach them. I previously thought they are for free...

However, I managed to add flash banners for sidebar by using this code in widget:

<object width="XXX" height="XXX">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<embed src="filename.swf" width="XXX" height="XXX">
</embed></object>

But it can not be done for 728x90 banners as they are among theme options. Can you or your guys at least give me some hints on how to make it possible to make 728x90 flash banners too? that will help me investigate further and hopefully succeed it.

Hi there,

It can be done, but that isn't something I provide support for here as it isn't a quick edit. For customizations like that, please submit a customization request.

These forums are really only intended to provide support for issues users are experiencing. I don't provide customization services here (unless it's a quick edit I know off the top of my head).

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Chris

Hello Chris,

Got it, thanks!

Now one more question, how to add Flash banners? instead of banners in picture.

Fingers crossed it can be done :)

Hi there,

1. Changing the width of the theme (beyond turning the secondary sidebar on/off) is not a feature of the theme. This would be a customization as changing the width is a code-based change that impacts the position/size of other elements and requires testing and research to make sure there are no negative side effects. This is why I pointed you to the customization request form.

2. Those are widgets in the secondary sidebar area. You can turn the secondary sidebar on/off in the theme options panel and you can control the widgets from the widgets page.

Hope that explains things better for you.

Best,

Chris

You gotta be kidding me, I just got this reply from the "customization request form":

Thanks for reaching out to us. To clarify, we do not provide support for The Molitor. He may have pointed you in our direction so we could quote out the rate to build your site to resemble the demo. We do offer that service for $450.

If you simply need assistance in building the page you can review The Molitor’s forums here: http://themolitor.com/forums/

Chris,

This is truly unfair...we have purchased what we saw in the DEMO version of the product, kindly support us here how to make our uploaded theme almost alike the Demo version.

For now, we need help for the followings:

1. How to adjust the width of the theme? we need exact width in Demo version

2. How to have "LATEST ARTICLES" and "MORE ADS" and such columns in its correct place like in Demo version? check the demo version here http://themeforest.net/item/the-daily-press-super-simple-wp-publication-theme/full_screen_preview/1965747 these columns are almost in the middle of the page.

These two issue are most important, the rest we can handle I believe.

Looking forward to you.

Ok, I read the FAQ. Customization is for free right?

And thank you for the help here.

Hello Chris,

I am sorry, I don't get it. for changing the width, I have to use extra service and pay again?! that form is asking me for budget.

This is starting to look unfair! I loved your theme when I looked into DEMO of it, That's what a DEMO is meant for right? to see how the product/theme look like.

Now I am frustrated, not only my current theme is not the same as DEMO version, but I have to pay to make it like the DEMO version?!

Hi there,

1. For customizations, please use this customization request form: http://themolitor.com/custom

2. To populate that area, you need to have posts in a specific category. You then assign that category in the theme options for the home page. As long as you have more than 1 post, you'll see a list like that on your home page (assuming you're using the default home page settings).

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

Banners on the right side worked, thanks.

Ok then, I guess i have to do everything manually.

I ask about a feature and you please guide me exactly how to implement it.

1. How to change the width of the theme?

2. How to implement this feature? red box here http://imageshack.us/f/850/8w5a.png/

These are for now, thanks.

Hi there,

Unfortunately WordPress doesn't provide the ability to copy everything in the demo file. The demo is just intended to be an example of the type of content you can create.

The code I posted is an example. See the "LINK-TO-PAGE" and "LINK-TO-IMAGE" text? That needs to be changed by you with the links and images you want to use.

EXAMPLE:

<a href="http://yoursite.com"><img alt="" src="http://yoursite.com/image.jpg"></a>

Hope that helps.

Best,

Chris

Again, all I need is to have exact this http://themeforest.net/item/the-daily-press-super-simple-wp-publication-theme/full_screen_preview/1965747 for my website, then I will edit things based on my own info.

Hello Chris,

I pasted that special code in the TEXT widget, banners did not show up.

I imported the demo xml file, only the contents was imported, not all those features/effects/banners/facebook available in the Demo version.

I am sorry, but can you just provide me the exact demo version? that's what I ever wanted.

You surely have the files for this http://themeforest.net/item/the-daily-press-super-simple-wp-publication-theme/full_screen_preview/1965747 right?

Or I have to figure everything by myself? as I am not a Wordpress expert, I'm just not sure what to do and where's what.

Thanks

Hi there,

The content on the right is controlled via Widgets. The banners in the sidebar are sitting in a text widget. You just need to provide markup in the text widget like this...

<a href="#LINK-TO-PAGE"><img src="#LINK-TO-IMAGE" alt="" /></a>

The demo site is using the same theme. The demo site content is already included in the download files as well. It's called "demo.xml". You can import that if you need.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Here is the Demo button - under text "Wordpress version" http://www.themolitor.com/2012/03/the-daily-press-super-simple-wp-publication-theme/

I correct myself, banners on the right side which are 260x120, how do I set them up? also when you scroll down the demo version, there is "More ads" which has banners with size 180x100, I would have them too.

I had already read the manual link, but it had basic info, I'll look into it more again. However can you just send me the wordpress zipfile theme for the exact demo version? that would makes it easier for me, otherwise I have to figure out how to turn it exactly like the demo version.

Thanks

Hi there,

Please keep in mind additional steps are needed after installing the theme. Be sure to visit your theme options panel to configure the settings to your liking.

Also, there are no banners in the demo that have 587x331 dimensions, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. The sidebar area is controlled from the widgets page, so you can manage that content there.

Please be sure to review the help file for additional details about configuring the site: http://themolitor.com/help/dailypress

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hello,

I purchased The Daily Press today hoping I will be having the exact Demo version, but when I uploaded the theme, it has not such features, for instance Banner size 587x331 on the right side is not available in what I have, I only have Bottom and UP Banners with size 728x90 options.

The dynamic feature, that shows previous entries on the homepage doesn't exist in mine (

The width is also different than Demo version.

Someone please help.

Thanks
