If you add these styles to a <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#childtheme">child theme</a> they will override the ones set in optionstyles stylesheet. Many styles are set in the optionstyles stylesheet and then adding styles to the original style.css will not work, this is why adding the css to <a href="http://www.vfxdude.com/bigfeature/2009/10/faq/#childtheme">child themes</a> is an advantage. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/how-can-i-overwrite-the-feature-image-border-colour#post-6200 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 06:10:20 +0000 myrto 6200@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm trying to change the feature image border colour from ddd to something else.<br /> I've tried specificity with no luck. </p> <p><code>#content .feature img, .postimage.normal img {<br /> border: 1px solid #666;<br /> }</code></p> <p>I've also tried #container</p> <p>What am I'm doing wrong? </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/feature-image-not-showing#post-5561 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:04:00 +0000 vfxdude 5561@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>pouls29, your timthumb is displaying some warnings, see <a href="http://www.trackmeifyoucan.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/timthumb/timthumb.php?src=/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Matrix-logo2.png&amp;w=250&amp;zc=1&amp;zcp=1">here</a>. The second warning is most likely a file rights problem, so try setting 777 on the cache folder too.</p> <p>Maybe the solution is just to turn off the warnings, since they are warnings and not errors. You can do so by adding the code below to the top of the timthumb.php (on a line after the <code>&lt;?php</code>):<br /> <code><br /> error_reporting(0);</code> </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/how-to-move-feature-image-to-the-left-instead-of-top-position#post-5548 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 11:48:14 +0000 vfxdude 5548@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>not sure I understand. are you talking about the default post image? You can use the BF Featured Posts widgets to show featured posts in the sidebar. You can also add posts in the sidebar (or any of the adspace widget areas) with the bfthumbs shortcode (create a page and and add it to a widget area with the BF Page widget).</p> <p>An illustrating screenshot makes it easier to understand. </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/feature-image-not-showing#post-5544 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 04:50:04 +0000 kimbel 5544@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>u dont have to delete wordpress. just the theme </p> http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/topic/feature-image-not-showing#post-5538 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 19:00:41 +0000 pouls29 5538@http://www.vfxdude.com/forum/ <p>I tried my best to do what the article said, and no joy.
