Hi Mena!

Hmm, are you familiar with patch and diff? Those would probably work – grab the original version which you translated, run diff -u elegant-grunge-original elegant-grunge-translated > patch.diff, then get the new version, and from that directory, run patch -p 1 < ../patch.diff.

If not, you may have to do it the manual way! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make the process easier, though – like using _e() for example. I haven’t read up much on WP theme internationalisation, perhaps I should.

Best of luck!

Hi Jeremy!

Hmm… What version exactly are you using? I’m a bit confused because v0.3 and the latest unofficial build both have just whitespace on line 58! You could try breaking up that string around the ?>, as in …?’.’&gt…, see if that fixes things. What version of PHP are you running?

Thanks Karri! I’m glad you like it! I’ve emailed you the PSD, I hope it’s useful to you.

About making the sidebar widget titles images: piece o’ cake! You can do it all with css, pretty much. If you’re using sidebar widgets, you’ll notice that the widgets are surrounded by something like

<li id="most-visited-posts" class="widget widget_wpcomstats_most_visited_posts"> ... </li>

So, just add the widgets you want, view source and get their id/classes, and just style them

So, for the example above, say

#sidebar #most-visited-posts h2 {
    text-indent: 2000px; /* Hide text */
    display: block; /* Make width/height work, might not be necessary */
    background: url(/wp-content/title-images/most-visited-posts.png);
    width: 120px;
    height: 40px;
}

Then just make your headings and put them in a directory like /wp-content/title-images (or just in the template directory).

I suggest you copy all of the stuff you’ve added to style.css into another file, say, custom.css, so that if you decide to upgrade the theme, you can just copy it straight back in, without having to dig it out before upgrading (when I update, I just go to the command line and cat custom.css >> style.css. For the same reason, maybe put your modifications of the theme into another directory, perhaps, to make upgrading easier. Your call =)

Nan: gasp Blasphemer! Actually, you’re the second person to mention adding an additional column – I’ve got it planned for an upcoming release, as an option you can turn on or off. Stay tuned =)

Hi Trevor,

Glad you like it!

The ‘Random photos’ widget plus the album under ‘Photography’ are both provided by the NextGEN Gallery and accompanying widget. Elegant Grunge also provides a similar widget for items tagged ‘photoblog’.

The text is just a ‘Text’ widget inserted into the Footer area.

The music player is XSPF web music player, both for the single-button players and the playlist player. I have some custom PHP code that builds the music page from files in a directory. I just made the code available as a WordPress plugin, among other things.

Hiya Trevor,

I can’t say I’ve had any troubles with it, actually; it does make folders under wp-content/gallery, so make sure you have write permissions there. Try dropping a line to the developer; they will help you.

The photoblog widget will display images from posts tagged ‘photoblog’ – so to add images, you just post them. See my photoblog tag to see how it works. If you want to proceed with that mechanism, but don’t want photos coming up as posts on the front page, there’s a way to use the query_posts template tag to exclude posts with the ‘photoblog’ tag. If you wanna do it, let me know and I’ll look it up for you, maybe even make it an option in the theme config.

And yes, the songs are mine =)

Trevor,

Are you referring to the way images pop up on click? That’s Lightbox; read through the Elegant Grunge documentation above, and view its settings page for more information.

Image framing does take note of image sizes; if you look at some pages on this blog, you’ll see that some have large frames, some have small frames, and some are unframed – this is done according to image size. However, the images on your contact page do not have width/height attributes in their tags, so Elegant Grunge can’t figure out how large the images are. Three solutions here:

• Open your contact page in the editor, scroll down to Elegant Grunge settings, and disable image framing for that page, or
• Add width/height attributes to the images, or
• Find out the classnames of the offending images and add them to the list of excluded classes in Elegant Grunge config (you wanna add captcha and capthca-reset)

Choose which images to put in the photoblog by tagging posts as photoblog.. If you don’t want them in your photoblog, don’t tag them as photoblog! Easy!

I made no changes to the gallery, it worked straight away, so I’m afraid I can’t help you there. If you’re desperate we could work out some consulting fees but I think you’ll figure it out – do a bit of googling around, and the author will reply soon enough.
