Magazine Theme (faq)

How do I get rid of the flower on the header
Open style.css and find the following code block.
h1 {
font:3em Georgia,Times New Roman,Trebuchet;
margin-bottom:10px;
padding-left:45px;
background:url(images/flordeju.gif) no-repeat left center;
}

Remove background and padding-left lines.

How do you add the links to 125×125 square ads
Open 125×125ads.php file and delete everything from this page. Once you deleted, paste the following code block into the page
<a href="YOUR URL"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/YOUR-IMAGE-NAME" class="left" alt="" /></a>
<a href="YOUR URL"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/YOUR-IMAGE-NAME" class="right" alt="" /></a>
<a href="YOUR URL"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/YOUR-IMAGE-NAME" class="left" alt="" /></a>
<a href="YOUR URL"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/YOUR-IMAGE-NAME" class="right" alt="" /></a>

You will need to write URL that where you want image to be linked and insert your image name that you uploaded into images folder into the above code block

I am using WordPress 2.5. Will your theme still work with this version?
Yes

I installed it but news don’t show up.
You need to install theme according to installation guide that comes along within the zip file you downloaded.

Would you tell me if this template runs well on other languages rather than English? Is it easy to translate all the titles into Spanish?
It is very easy to change the language of the theme. You need to change the proper words in to spanish language that are located in index.php and comment.php

I insert a picture in the post like directed….300 px, etc. When I view the page in IE, the featured article has the text to the right and pushes the whole page over. Any suggestions?
Do not use visual WYSIWYG editor to insert pictures. They add lots of unnecessary codes to img tag. If you can’t give up of your WYSIWYG editor, simply open source codes and remove all codes that are similar to hspace=x, align=left, vspace=x, border=x

Any way to make the pictures small thumbs in the middle column instead of 300 px?
Open your style.css file. Go to end of document. and paste #midcolumn img {float:left; margin:5px 5px 5px 0} to the end of document. Now you should be able to insert images that are smaller than 300px. But in that case, maximum image size to insert to mid column can not exceed 295px in width

How can I increase the word count on the main page. I want to display more than 30 words per article
Open index.php file and find <?php the_excerpt_reloaded(30, code block. 30 is the number of words to be displayed. You can increase or decrease the number

How about SEO, is this theme optimized?
No, I didn’t do anything for that. Actually, I believe that the only problem comes with WordPress is the duplicate content problem. Everybody has different solutions. If I would try to fix it with some snippets, then people who use robots.txt (to prevent duplicate content issue) could face such a situation like blocking everything from search engines. That is why I left optimizing part to the end user. However if you still want to do something for that, you can copy my robots.txt file to your root directory

If I change the middle column posts, how to show other posts like wp-pagenavi(plug-in) to put the pages navigation.
I dont belive that a page navigation would be a good idea to use on the main site of a magazine style theme.
