I'm now working on several templates for the new <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/vfxdudedotcom#p/u/0/mzFXQVhiNOs">shortcode template system</a> added in version 1.4.1, but these can also be used like the other templates you refer too (added to pages). In other words, more templates are on the way.</p> <p>2. The footer is probably based on one of the <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#childtheme">child themes</a> available <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/downloads/">here</a> (bfwide or bfarea), and modified with css in the child theme. The navigation is a css modification. You can select different navigation styles in the theme setting, and then modify them to your liking. Use Firebug to find what styles to modify.</p> <p>you can find plugin recommendations <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/07/setting-up-the-theme/">here</a>.</p> <p>3. Use a <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xml-google-maps/">plugin</a> or <a href="http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=72644">embed code</a>. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/hello-world#post-7351 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:59:25 +0000 novego 7351@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>----- moved from here: <a href="http://themeforest.net/item/bigfeature-wordpress-theme/discussion/51702" rel="nofollow">http://themeforest.net/item/bigfeature-wordpress-theme/discussion/51702</a></p> <p>Hello! I just bought your beautiful theme for my blog. I state that I am no expert, but I think I managed to set it.</p> <p>I still have some doubts.</p> <p>1) I have seen the site you have made ??available to us with documentation, very well done. There are some very nice page templates. I would like to know if there are other templates for the blog page. They are really convenient for those who do not know HTML . for example i used some template you give us free for two of my pages – <a href="http://www.novarchitectura.com/architettura-interiore/" rel="nofollow">http://www.novarchitectura.com/architettura-interiore/</a> – <a href="http://www.novarchitectura.com/presentazione/" rel="nofollow">http://www.novarchitectura.com/presentazione/</a></p> <p>but i need more :D</p> <p>2) I have seen many blogs that use this theme and i had some questions - How do I get a footer like this: <a href="http://artlemon.de/" rel="nofollow">http://artlemon.de/</a> - How can I have a nav bar like this: <a href="http://illusiodesign.com/" rel="nofollow">http://illusiodesign.com/</a></p> <p>there are plugins or widgets that you can recommend? Where can I find it?</p> <p>3) I would like to know if in the contact page I can insert a google map and how to do.</p> <p>Thanks for your help</p> <p>my homepage is: <a href="http://www.novarchitectura.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.novarchitectura.com/</a> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/comment-icon-issue#post-7243 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 08:53:44 +0000 vfxdude 7243@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>that last code was for the disqus plugin, but it might not be that one causing it. deactivate disqus and see if it changes.

My best bet is to just disable the comment icon. I thought the comment icon looked cool, but its not necessary. I don't want to disable Disgus because I been using it for a while and I like it. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/comment-icon-issue#post-7237 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 15:31:52 +0000 vfxdude 7237@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>try this instead:<br /> <code><br /> remove_filter('get_comments_number', 'dsq_comments_number');</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/comment-icon-issue#post-7236 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 14:18:53 +0000 nerwin 7236@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>It looks like that didn't work.

On the front page it looks normal, but when I go to the next page and so it, it displays strange. Shows "0 Comments" instead of just "0" or what the number of comments are. Is there a way to fix this easily?</p> <p><img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/j75clk.png"> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/photoblog-not-working#post-6810 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:07:29 +0000 melwes 6810@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I have been using this theme for a while, but are making some changes now.

However, this is what I want to do. On the static frontpage you have this shortcode [ bfthumbs category="portfolio" numposts="3" ] which pulls the thumnail images from the category of your blog. Instead of thumbnails from categories of the blog spread three across, I would like to add images of the individual blog contributors instead and when each person posts a blog it's title shows up with the assigned thumbnual image. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/blog-thumbnails#post-6160 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:26:30 +0000 vfxdude 6160@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I don't know what you are talking about. a screenshot with annotations makes it easier to understand. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/blog-thumbnails#post-6147 Sat, 26 Mar 2011 21:28:41 +0000 devanslive 6147@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am working on a site <a href="http://www.dionevanslive.com/ojb" rel="nofollow">http://www.dionevanslive.com/ojb</a> and there is a section that says blog topics at the bottom. I know the bfthumbs code, but it only pulls from one category. I want to be able to have a categories show up side by side and an associated image with the category it pulls. I also do not want that thumbnail to be 255 x 100 as the others are, I want it to be 100 x 100 for each 6 thumbnails side by side.

And this is not the blog posts page template, but the default index.php blog, so another possibility is that this file is added to the child theme and edited. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/where-to-limit-the-text-length-of-blog-post-overview-page#post-4850 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 21:05:23 +0000 Colorit 4850@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Yes, I have created my frontpage like your demo of earlier versions.</p> <p>The 3 last posts at the frontpage are made with this code:</p> <p><code>[bfthumbs numposts="3"]</code></p> <p>and the blog posts page is just the "blog post" template. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/where-to-limit-the-text-length-of-blog-post-overview-page#post-4848 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 20:30:07 +0000 vfxdude 4848@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>but I suspect you have a mix of versions since you have ... at the end of the text. this is not added in version 1.4.0.2, but it was in earlier versions. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/where-to-limit-the-text-length-of-blog-post-overview-page#post-4847 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 20:21:08 +0000 vfxdude 4847@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>"limit frontpage text" limits the text in the frontpage of the blog and not a static frontpage. reduce it and see that it changes. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/where-to-limit-the-text-length-of-blog-post-overview-page#post-4845 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 19:59:07 +0000 Colorit 4845@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>ok, thank you very much.</p> <p>But the "limit frontpage text" does only limit right the text at the frontpage, but it has no effect to the blog page:</p> <p>The limit of 80 words in theme settings has only effect to the frontpage:</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2a92n8d" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2a92n8d</a></p> <p>but at the blog page, the text is much more longer:</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2cv97gm" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2cv97gm</a></p> <p>I would like to keep the text (no extra excerpt text) and the 80 words as it is, because so it is good for frontpage.</p> <p>But at blog page - and only there - I would like to limit it,too, but with another value than 80, because this would be too less for the blog page itself.</p> <p>Is this possible in any way? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/where-to-limit-the-text-length-of-blog-post-overview-page#post-4843 Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:47:31 +0000 vfxdude 4843@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>add a more <code>&lt;!--more--&gt;</code> tag into the post (alt-shift-t) or add text into the excerpt field below the editor.
