   I purchased the the web news theme and I wanted to know how I get the layout like the demo? There are posts from different categories showing in a grid layout here http://www.wpthemedesigner.com/2009/01/14/the-web-news-theme/ but the template does not do that - how can I fix?

   Thank you

   also when you read a post the add comment is right in the middle of it - how do I move that? Look here for example http://igbonewengland.org/wp/person/chimamanda-adichie/

   I'm using this theme at autotrends.org and I have a question regarding photos:

   Some photos are being included on some of my pages while others are not. It appears those photos I've linked to from my URL don't work while those uploaded via WordPress do. Is there any way for this theme to capture a photo no matter how it is uploaded?

   Here is an example of a page in question:

   Many thanks!

   Hi Matthew,

   I understand your concern. However the theme was set to use images uploaded via Wordpress only. It's actually a safer/easier implementation unlike having a lot of sources for post images.

   If you want other ways such as capturing images within post or using custom field, these will require theme updating/development. We can provide you with this service. Just let us know.

   Hope this helps,

   Thanks, Webmaster. I understand and, yes, that makes sense. I've been going back over some of my recent articles and making the changes and have come up with a uniform policy to make sure that photos appear as they should in the preview.

   Hello,

   I set up a website using this theme (the free version with the encrypted footer) at http://noticiasdevenezuela.info/

   However, I later purchased your membership and downloaded the paid version of the theme, so I would appreciate if you could help me with one thing:

   How do I replace the footer safely without disrupting the site and without having to reinstall the theme completely (because I made some customizations on the theme that I do not want to tamper with or lose).

   Thank you!

    Hi Alex,

    To remove encryption on footer, download the standard version of the theme at the members area then replace the footer.php with the footer.php in the standard package.

    Hope this helps,

    Hello I purchase the theme for my client to use in her site keepingnickels.com. This is in reference to the images. I add the custom field as suggested above. How can I use a default image for posts that don't have any images?

    Hi Artiatesia,

    You have already customized the theme so I'm not sure what changes you have made.

    To be able to fix this, you need to have programming experience. What you can do is to modify dp_attachment_image() at function.php and add conditional statement. If wp_get_attachment_image_src() returns false then you need to set the default image to show otherwise, show the attachment.

    Reference:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src

    Hope this helps,

    See sample codes below:
    

    foreach($images as $image) {
      $attachment=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size);
      if(!$attachment) { ?>
        <img src="URL-of-default-image" /><?php
      <?php } else { ?>
        <img src="<?php echo $attachment[0]; ?>" <?php echo $attributes; ?> /><?php
      }
    }

    Thank you for responding.

    I decided to make a test site without the customizations. When I input the code you suggested I got an error saying I had an extra ">" so where. Here is my code.

    # Displays post image attachment (sizes: thumbnail, medium, full)
    function dp_attachment_image($postid=0, $size='thumbnail', $attributes='') {
    if ($postid<1) $postid = get_the_ID();
    if ($images = get_children(array(
    'post_parent' => $postid,
    'post_type' => 'attachment',
    'numberposts' => 1,
    'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
    foreach($images as $image) {
    $attachment=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size); ?>
    if(!$attachment) { ?>
    <img src="http://keepingnickels.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/keepingnickels_thumbnail.jpg" /><?php
    <?php } else { ?>
    <img src="<?php echo $attachment[0]; ?>" <?php echo $attributes; ?> /><?php
    }
    }

    Did I do it correctly? Thank you so much for your help.
