@gux the colors can be changed in the custom.css file (as I mention in the post).

Hi Ben:
Made a discovery…it’s a browser rendering issue with FF 3.6.6 (& 3.5.1)…for me, at least.
Here’s what I’m seeing…this is your demo site and mine (with “2″):
http://j.mp/bloghbnn(2)

But both yours and mine look perfect for me in IE8 and Chrome…and so far I’ve not been able to duplicate the issue on another computer (but only 2 tries). Even more weird… these 2 examples from above render just fine for me in FF: devel.lookinggoodmom.com and creativegotland.com

There was alot of squawk on Mozilla support about a new process introduced in FF 3.6.4 named “plugin-container.exe” that slowed system resources. A friend sees your demo site rendering perfectly with FF 3.5.1. So I reinstalled FF 3.5.1 on my computer…but still have same issue. [btw, been running Ccleaner after each step to eliminate possible caching issues). I even uninstalled every FF plugin.

Hostgator issue? Do I recall you saying something about images or something being affected by a script (absent?) on Hostgator?
I’m exhausted…but kinda locked in at the moment. Would really appreciate any ideas/help. Thank you.

@Maureen, I don’t have the code handy but I know there are tutorials to do this out there. If you can’t find them by doing a quick Google search I’d recommend looking in the Thesis forum.

@Jim, it looks like your content gallery is set too wide or your sidebar images are too wide. I’m not sure what you mean when you say it’s impacting my demo site. I’m not seeing it on that site.

If you want to change the side of the multimedia box you can either limit it with css or just make sure to only put images of a certain size in the rotation folder.

Ben, thanks for your quick reply. I’m not CSS expert – still blindingly trying to figure them out, so I have to add more coding to custom.css or the custom_function.php? Can you tell me what code I need?

@Maureen, the items you put in the widgetized footer will be stacked as it was really only designed to hold one widget. If you’d like to have the widgets display in several columns, you’ll need to apply some CSS rules to those specific widgets.

Hi, I had installed your skins on my locally hosted WP on my laptop so I tweak it around and so far I am LOVIN’ it! Thank you very much!
I did ran into a bit of a problem when I put stuffs on the footer widget areas all of them are stacks to the right hand side on top of one another instead of 4 widgets side by side. Hope you understand what I mean. Can you tell me how to fix this? Thanks, Ben!

Hi Ben!
Wondering why your Multimedia Box (and that whole right column) pushed down?? It’s doing the same for my test install. Any wisdom on changing the size of the Multimedia box? Can’t seem to find anything on the forum.

Also, wanted to gain some header space, so I eliminated the “Featured” Category Nav bar. But the “Featured” link still remains. Is it easily removable?

Thanks!

Ben, I seem to have figured out my problem with my thesis 1.6 theme and DCG. On the right side of my newly created “page” is a section labeled Dynamic Content Generator. Is is different from the custom fields where I created the “dfcg-desc” and “dfcg-image” keys. Inserting my info in that area made it all work. Using the custom fields did not work. Perhaps I misread your instructions and that is how I was suppose to do it.

Now the issue I have is that the URL associated with the image in the DCG does not work if I use a custom structure in the permalink setting such as /%postname%/ to create keyword rich pages. The URL will only work if I use the “default” which uses the “?p=123″ method.

Any ideas on that one? Do I need some custom code somewhere?

Thanks!!
