A Few Things

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 8

Hello,

Installed the theme (in classic blog version) and love it but have a few questions:

a) Is it possible to make the header logo centred on the page

b) I have installed Shortn.It (http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/shortnit) and have set it up but is there a way of when clicking the twitter or Facebook at the bottom of the page to show the shortened url. At the moment it shows as (using the demo as an example) Asus Xonar U7 sound card has a built-in Headphone Amp http://seeasa.com/?p=53 via @seeasa (is there a way of changing it to show my custom url and make it Asus Xonar U7 sound card has a built-in Headphone Amp http://see.je/abcde via @seeasa. Also clicking on Facebook it only gives the blog logo and address and no information on the story being shared.

c) In the demo classic blog layout demo when you click an article it shows before and next but can’t find there that is in the theme settings to activate

d) How do I give different categories different colours?

Many Thanks in advance

Hi,

a. The logo when using the classic blog version it’s already centered http://screencast.com/t/QVtWVWE4fYX just use the header style designed for the blog like this: http://screencast.com/t/KgwEpN8VEl1

b. I haven’t used that plugin, should check the plugin support page for a way to implement the short URLs and then go to td_module_blog.php file and replace the function which gets the permalinks with your own short URLs generator http://screencast.com/t/fGNUAvyPw2
Try using the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin, then you can set the description for your each post from edit post panel.

c. I believe you are referring at this prev/next article feature which you can enable from theme panel > posts settings http://screencast.com/t/Rj847twYFAGr
Hope this helps!

Thanks

On b) I have changed the plugin to WP Bitly and setup my own domain and it seems to be getting the correct address but I am not sure what to replace permalink function too in the td_module_blog.php file

Hi,

Try replacing this get_permalink() function http://screencast.com/t/9KL7ilOqsc with your own or try to address to this matter on the plugin support page.
Also if you already have the URLs shortened when you share a post it doesn’t get the short version of the link?

Thanks

Hiya,

I am still not really getting anywhere so sorry if i keep emailing you. Using the Bit Ly wordpress extension I think they say use this:

<?php wpbitly_shortlink(); // shortcode shweetness. ?>

Does that look correct? What part of the code does this need to get inserted in?

Hi,

Try replacing the get_permalink() function just with wpbitly_shortlink() like this:

Hello,
Sorry for the missing screenshots. Lucian changed his account and his screenshots were lost. Only Lucian’s screens from over 1 year ago will not be available. Sorry for the inconvenience. In any case, most of the solutions older than 1 year will probably not work anymore as he theme code gets changed in every update. If you need help with a certain issue, please open a new topic and we will gladly respond there.
Thank you!
