How do i change the Starblog logo on this theme?
REPLY 965 days agoKevin (Admin)
The logo.png file is located in the templates image folder. If you keep the same dimensions then you can change the logo by simply overwriting the file on your server.
You can see the logo linked in the header.php template so if you need to change things around you need to do it there.

Trying to change the text ‘Powered by WordPress & Design by Premium WordPress Themes’ in the footer but the footer.php gives only an enormous and strange code. Nothing to change about. Do I look in the wrong php-file? Thanks.

Can you post that part of the code here or in the forums. I’ll have a look at it and see if I can see what’s wrong.

Prepare. This is the code that’s in my footer.php. Live, it looks good, but this is abracadabra for me:

Damn. My code is not visible in my reply. Check a screenshot here: http://twitpic.com/4hk0cz

Sorry Steven. I should have said, you will need to convert the html formatting before posting it.
I just downloaded the template. That looks like encryption code so that no one can remove their footer. They should not be doing this, particularly when releasing the theme under GPL.
I wouldn’t recommend using this theme if that it is encrypted. What happens when you use the theme without the footer i.e. if you remove the reference to the footer template or remove all content from the footer template. Does it still work?
If you really must use this theme, I’d be happy to try and fix this issue if you are having problems. I do not believe developers should encrypt their work, particularly when released under GPL. Therefore I don’t think it’s unfair to remove the encryption.

Hi,
I am not able to locate logo.png in the image template folder. Can you give me the correct patch.
Thanks.
REPLY 756 days agoKevin Muldoon (Admin)
As mentioned above, it appears this template uses encryption, therefore I would not encourage anyone to use it (I have left this post here as a reminder to those who have downloaded the theme).
REPLY 755 days agoSteven
I suggest you upload your own logo to the library and change the link in header.php. Easy as that.

Does anybody know the name of the plug-in they are using for the sideshow in the homepage?
REPLY 684 days agoKevin Muldoon (Admin)
It’s probably hard coded into the theme. There are lots of slide show plugins available on the official WordPress directory though.

How to let the page show full post instead of excerpt?
REPLY 677 days agoKevin Muldoon (Admin)
If you open up index.php and change the_excerpt(); to the_content(); it should change it to full articles.
REPLY 677 days agoAli
for some reason the ‘previous’ button which was on the bottom of the page has disappeared…any advise on how to get it back. Thanks.
REPLY 657 days agoKevin Muldoon (Admin)
Best thing to do would be to download the file again (or unzip the original zip if you still have it) and compare the appropriate template which is on your site against the original.
