MemberI am using Pix Design, and on the main page there is a display of posts along with a thumbnail. How can I control which image is used in the thumbnail? Many of my posts have 3-4 images in them, but I cannot figure out how to control which one is used.
I see this code:
<?php dp_attachment_image(0, 'thumbnail', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?>
Do attachment images have a numeric order id?

Key MasterHi Anthony Simpson,
To change the logo on the just replace the pixdesignlogo.png at the images folder.
To display images on featured box, simply upload an image within the post. Here's how,
1. Go to admin dashboard->posts->edit
2. Select the post and click edit
3. Within the Edit Post page, Click the Add an 'Image button'. It can be located near 'Upload/Insert' text.
4. Within the pop-up form, select the image to upload. The thumbnail will be taken from this image.
* Whether you display the image to the post or not doesn't matter.
5. You can now close the pop-up and save the post.Hope these helps,

Key MasterHi Jeanne Melton,
That was a good inquiry from you. The dp_attachment_image uses the LAST attached image to the theme. However since you could already have more than 1 image attached on your post and most probably you don't want to use the last one, then the current implementation doesn't fit well to your needs.
To FIX this, kindly change the:
<?php dp_attachment_image(0, 'thumbnail', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?>with this:
<?php if (get_post_meta($post->ID,"post_image",true) != ''): ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,"post_image",true); ?>" alt="" />
<?php else: ?>
<?php dp_attachment_image(0, 'thumbnail', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>Explanation:
With the current changes, you can now specifically set the thumbnail image by adding a 'post_image' custom field to the post and set the value of the field to the URL of the image. If you don't set 'post_image' custom field it will just go back to the basic dp_attachment_image implementation.Hope these helps,

Key MasterHi Antony,
Here's how to create one sidebar for the left and right:
1. open sidebar.php and remove line 59 to line 83. That's from begin right to end right.
2. open style.css and edit value of width at line 53 to:
#sidebar .l { width: 285px; ...To set the number of posts displayed, go to admin area->Settings->Reading. Set "Blog pages show at most" to the number of posts you'd like to be displayed.
Hope these helps,

InactiveHi Webmaster,
I seem to have a problem with the featured box. It displays wrong images with the text. You can view at: http://www.antonysimpson.com, what do I need to do to fix it? I have tried copying the featured.php but it's still displaying the wrong images related to the blog posts text.

InactiveHi Webmaster:
See: http://www.antonysimpson.com/screen-shot-featured.jpg
The text is "What influences my identity?" yet it shows the image of flowers which is for a post entitled "One month". Does that help to explain my problem a bit better? It displays the wrong image.
Many thanks,
Antony

Key MasterHi Antony,
Try to go to the Edit Post page of "What influences my identity?" and click Add Media->Media Library. Try to see if the flowers image can be seen there. If yes then there is no issue here. You just have to delete the image. If no, then it is a wordpress issue which we cannot solve.
Hope this helps,

Key MasterHi Antony,
When did it started? It's not a theme issue.
It could be because of the plugin you recently used.

ExpiredI want to change the theme so that the posts under the slideshow don't all show the category name huge. I only want to have a few categories, so showing the category name each time means a lot of repetition. How can I switch it so the category name is small in yellow and the title is large in grey. How can I do that?

Key MasterHi Jim,
The Pixdesign Theme was designed to display all the categories. If you want that to be changed, kindly go through the codes and edit accordingly. We highly recommend that you get a web developer for this customization.
With regards to the Logo, kindly download the PSD and customize the logo design from there. The PSD file can be downloaded at the members area.
If you'd like to hire a professional (for lease) that can help you in setting-up, create your logo, we recommend you email us at webmaster@wpthemedesigner.com.
You may also browse link below for a sample customization of pixdesign theme. http://www.palissandre.biz

ExpiredHmmm.... interesting.
On my page at http://www.improvephotography.com, the "recent posts" at the bottom in the footer go too long and outside the box. How can I keep it from doing that?

ExpiredUg.... maybe *not* last thing...
The featured images in the slideshow thingy aren't lining up. The text starts correctly lined up with the image for that post, but then it quickly gets off. It displays the text for one post with the image for another post. No idea why it's doing that. Any ideas?

Key MasterHi Jim,
I saw you currently using the Aspire Magazine Theme.
Are you referring to the white background image below the footer?
To fix that, kindly go to the style.css and edit line 726. Change height from 94px to 84px.With regards to the newsletter, there are actually plugins for this. Or you may also use Google's Feedburner at http://feedburner.com which is free. This was used in the sample I gave you (http://www.palissandre.biz). The next thing you do is go through the form and modify the fields.
With regards to featured images, I can't seem to see this. Does this happen right now to your website?
Hope these helps,

ExpiredThe weird thing is that it fixes itself after it goes through the slideshow loop once. The second time through is fine. I've tried three themes from this site now and all of them have that problem with the slideshow :-( I'm trying to find a plugin that can do it.

ExpiredI've spent nearly the whole day trying to get this thing to work... no luck so far. When I cut back to only two featured posts, it works every time and never messes up. As soon as I make three featured posts--no matter which three posts--it gets messed up. Check it out right now at http://www.improvephotography.com. I'm going crazy here. I was hoping this theme would work right out of the box.

Key MasterHi Jim,
We can't seem to find out the problem with your website. As you can see in our demo site, everything works well. Perhaps it could have been with your images. Are using large sized images? That can add up to the loading time.
We're definitely not sure with your issue. There are other themes to choose from. You might want to use our premium themes though. Thanks for the compliment with our designs.
Thanks,
WPTD Webmaster
