ExpiredDear Support,
2 things I am needing to know to adjust on my Simple Scheme setup on http://www.GamblersData.info
1.) # of Categories - Looks like the theme will only display up to 7 category names in the header area. I have 8 categories and even though I tried to shorten them down, the extra one won't fit--it still only shows 7 category names under the website name and logo image. Is there something in the code that I can change this from "7" to "8"?
2.) # of Current Topics Slideshow - Looks like the new posts "slideshow" rotates through only the last 3 posts made, can I change this to rotate through the last 5-10 posts so there is more variety showing for new site visitors to grab their attention?
Looking forward to your help...

Key MasterHi Jerold Johnson,
1.) There is no limit to the number of categories displayed in the header area. To be able to display all the categories, make sure that all these categories have posts. Categories with no posts will not be displayed.
2.) To change the number of featured posts displayed in the slideshow, kindly open index.php and edit value of showposts at line 10.
query_posts('showposts=3&cat=' . get_cat_ID(dp_settings('featured')));
Hope these helps,

ExpiredHey, perfect that did the trick on both items!
Okay one other thing that I screwed up... somehow in changing the text before I somehow "shrunk" the footer to show up just under the right sidebar column instead of going across the bottom of the whole blog page. http://www.GamblersData.info
... your thoughts?
Thanks,

Key MasterHi Jerold Johnson,
Yes I saw your footer is displayed at the sidebar. The reason for that is because you made some errors with the codes specifically on.
1.) The two Justbet html codes you added in the sidebar. You missed to close the divs.
2.) At sidebar.php, you removed the closing div at the bottom. Kindly bring back the:
</div>
<!-- END sidebar -->3.) At footer.php, you didn't close the footer div. Kindly add a closing div tag above the closing body tag. Like this:
</div>
</body>Hope these helps,

ExpiredSweet!
Fixed it...
...thanks for the great support!
What is the difference when you take a basic template and turn it into a Premium?
I saw another post where you mention asking for certain themes to become Premiums so was wondering what would be different if you made this "Simple Scheme Mag" a Premium template that I would 'upgrade' the site with?
Many Blessings,

Key MasterHi Jerold Johnson,
Premium Themes have more features and more customizable. If we are going to upgrade a standard theme to premium theme, there will be a theme options page, more features will be added, and we'll be using our premium theme framework too.
Thanks,

Key MasterHi Gabriel,
It's just the same with the Emperor Theme. All you have to do is to attach an uploaded image within the post. To be more specific here's how:
Using Media Library (This assumes that you have already created the post):
1. Go to Media Library->Add New.
2. Browse and select your image file then Save all changes.
3. At the Media Library area, find your image then click the "attach" link at the "Attached to" column.
4. Find the Post where you like to attach the image. That's it. Your image is now attached to the post, and it will be used in the slider and as thumbnail.Within Post:
1. Go to Edit Post or Create a New Post.
2. Select the image "Add an Image" located above the content area.
3. Browse and select your image file then Save all changes. That's it.If there's anything else, just let us know so we can help.
Hope these helps,

By the way, you are using the old version of the theme. Kindly, download the latest version at the members area.

Help! I need to upload and install my logo but I'm not Wordpress-savvy enough to figure out the instructions I've found. "To change the logo, replace the logo.gif file in the images folder." - I don't even know where the logo file and image folder are!! Please break it down so I can understand how to upload my logo to the images folder and then use the editor to have it replace the text on the site...
Thanks,
Lauren

Key MasterHi!
Perhaps you have forgotten to setup the plugin. Go to Settings->WP Cumulus in the admin area and fill-up the fields. If you want it similar to the demo site, these are the settings:
Width of the Flash tag cloud: 270
Height of the Flash tag cloud: 250
Color of the tags: 404040
Optional second color for gradient: 404040
Optional highlighl color: 000000
Background color: ffffffLastly, don't forget to add tags on your posts. It will definitely show nothing if there no tags on post(s) exist.
Hope this helps,
WPTD Webmaster

MemberThanks for your response to my question. I have another one for you :) I am trying to split up some content on one of my pages using pagination. I inserted <!--nextpage--> where I need it to go, but it does not show up with this theme. It doesn't show any page numbers or next pages, nothing. I tried the theme Twenty Ten and it works. Have any ideas of what I can do? I really like this theme!

MemberHello! I really like this theme, but I have run into a problem now that I updated to 3.1. When I use this theme I cannot access Network Admin settings. I get this fatal error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_contextual_help() in /home/content/s/o/d/mywebdomain/html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22
Everything is fine when I use Twentyten. What should I do?
