with the default page template the sidebar is there, with the no sidebar template it is gone.

aw oh, the ABOUT US sidebar is gone, I gotta have that, any solutions?

so easy. thank you "soo" much. I got all caught up in the Blog page, blog posts an parents and template settings, I forgot the basics. Many thanks, you may have just helped restore a theatre from the 1920's. Thanks again, Jonra

ok, so it's for a static page and not the the blog index (important detail). Here's how:

1. create the page and select the "no sidebar" page template.
2. Click in the editor where you want the image, then upload an image (or choose one from the media library) and in the uploader specify a url and insert the image into the page editor.

Feature Image Page - not clickable

Hi vfx, thanks so much for your help. I've tried it 4 different ways. If I do the feature image, it's not clickable. If I insert the image into the HTML the ABOUT US in the sidebar reduces the image, even though it's clickable. I did the default image, but it was not clickable. And I also did the widget "Blog home below Nav" with the BF Page containing a inserted jpeg into the html, is that right?. The home page I'm working on is NO PARENT and default. template.

Can you tell me the easiest way to have a clickable banner with the ABOUT US in the sidebar?

first it's important to understand it's not a separate feature image, but it's attached to the first post shown on the blog index, and the same feature image is shown on every single post view. If you want a post independent feature image (or slider) on the blog index, check the "Disable the feature image on the frontpage" in the theme settings and add it like explained here (a link can be added with the image).

I was wondering how I add a link my my Feature Image, so when you click it, it links to another site?
Thanks so much, J

you can use the custom single functionality, or the new shortcode template system to use a single post view template without sidebar. If you want to use a page instead you can use a redirect plugin.

At the risk of asking the obvious, is there a way to make clicking on "Read More" always go to a full page for the post (with no sidebar)? I'm new. Loving it so far but have a lot to learn.

Solved - here's the solution if anyone finds this thread at a later date:

replace
<?php bf_excerpts(false,$bf_normalpost_numwords,$postType); ?>

with
<?php the_content(); ?>

in index.php

To any who can help:

If I have a simple hyperlink in a post, it shows up just fine when I'm viewing that single post page by itself. However, when I view the blog page, or a home page set to display latest posts, all hyperlinks seem to be removed/deactivated (the text still is there, though). As soon as I switch the theme back to the default WordPress theme, any hyperlinks will show up in a view of latest posts. When I switch back to BigFeature, they disappear. Is this a bug?

Is there a reason that with the BigFeature theme you need to click through to the individual post page in order to see hyperlinks? I didn't see a theme setting for this, but maybe I missed something.

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi,

I just have upgraded to BF 1.4.0.4 (using BFnav 1.0.5 and WP 3.1.3 as multiblog with domainmapping). I have deleted the old theme files and replaced them with the new downloaded.

All fine, but when I click at the RSS icon at the top right of the starting page, than this does not work as in the old version, I get the error

Warning: require_once(/xxxxx/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/theme-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxx/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/functions.php on line 11

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/xxxxx/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/library/functions/theme-settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5') in /xxxxx/wp-content/themes/bigfeature/functions.php on line 11

In theme settings is my feedburner name as it worked fine in older version.

I saw, that theme-settings.php does not exist in library/functions/ folder anymore ...

What's going wrong?

Thanks.

yes, just add #tabname to the end of the url.

hi,
is there a way to link from a page to a certain tab on the page? say i've got page A with 3 tabs named 'one' 'two' 'three' and a link on page B, which links to the content in tab 'three'. i there any way to link to tab 'three'?

ps. i still want tab 'one' to be the first one

thanks

the function used is wp_list_bookmarks and it takes an orderby parameter, but code must be modified. Edit theme-functions.php (in library/functions), search for wp_list_bookmarks, and add an orderby parameter. Example: wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=notes,name&category...

This way you can sort with the notes area (just add numbers or letters). I added this to the theme now, because it's a good idea to be able to sort.

Hi,

I'm trying to tweak my top nav menu and have run into a problem. I have a link category on the menu, with all the links in that category being in the dropdown box. At the moment these links are listed alphabetically. Is there a way to change this, such that they are ordered by link id or anything else? I tried to look within the stylesheet but I can't see anything that I can clearly identify which would help me. I don't want to have to number the links just to get them in the correct order. Many thanks!

ok, add this code to the functions.php of a child theme:

function commentbutton() {
	echo do_shortcode('[button link="#respond"]leave a reply[/button]');
}
add_action( 'bf_after_article', 'commentbutton', 1 );

Sorry Dude,

If the related post or whatever is enabled there is a lot of distance between the end of the post and the comment area.

It would be helpful for me to add a button with a link to the section: leave a reply. So the reader could jump to this....

any url can be added to buttons. you need to explain a bit more what you mean.

there is a divider shortcode. I have not mentioned it, but the documentation will be out soon. anyway, here's how to use it:

[divider type="2"]

there's no divider with toplink, but that's an idea...I'll add to the 1.4.1 to do list.

it's used in the links page template. just a list of posts (category custom field can be added).

Is it possible to link to the comment area via Button?

How may I call the different dividers which are coming with the css?

And do we have an devider with top link?

What is this and how to use? Do we have an example?

Thanks. I actually just figured it out, my bad. I wasn't putting the link in the short code parameter -- because on the example page, I was most interested in the download button, and probably copy and pasted from that example here but it didn't have the link in there in the example, but I literally took it and put an anchor around it.

got to be like this:
[button type="download" link="http://test.com"]text[/button]

this is the code produced:

<a href="/press/"></a><a href="#">this is a link with button shortcode to ‘press’ page</a>

do you wrap the anchor tag around the shortcode? or add the url in the link parameter? If no link parameter added the # will be used by default.

BTW, I am running Wordpress 3.01 and Bigfeature theme version 1.4.0.1 with a modified Topart 1.02 child theme where my CSS modifications are.

Having a strange issue on a site I'm developing with the button shortcode. While writing the post I had previously used a "#" as a placeholder for the link, but once I updated this link, it keeps the "#" that I originally used, even after clearing the cache in the browser. Furthermore, any other button I create using the button shortcode on any other page takes "#" as a link no matter what.

Here's a spot where I'm testing this on my big theme install: http://www.queenofthesun.com/2010/11/test-page/

I thought WP 3 doesn't need cache flushed, but could this be solved by doing that?

Endless appreciation!
