   Michael, Hope your doing alright in Aussie land. Was wondering if you knew how one could add a simple dashed line between sidebar widget items such as “recent posts” so that each post listed has a dashed line between on your theme. Thanks for any insight.

     Hiya, Nick. We’re managing over here, but wow. Fire sucks! Probably something added to the bottom of style.css, like

     .sidebar ul li {
        border-bottom: 1px dashed #ddd;
     }

   Michael, your theme is amazing. I’ve been using it for my blog, mostly untouched. It is great seeing you further developing and fixing it. Keep up the great work!

   Dear Michael,

   It's Trevor,another user of your elegant theme.No seriously it is elegant!:P Alright,I'm having a few problems here.If you check out my site,only two images show up under the photoblog 'feature'.However,even though I have another post with the tag,it doesn't show up in the sidebar.Why is this?

   Cheers! Trevor

   Emm…sorry for the repost,just…if it helps,I've seen that there is no thumbnails being created in the elegant thumbnails folder,so I'm guessing there must be a problem either in the php files,or perhaps generally something else…

     Michael….I've kinda fixed the problem,but I can't understand why the photoblog feature takes only one and the first image from the post with the tag.

     In one of my posts,I have around 5 images in which photoblog reads only the first image. Could you please help me in this regard.

     Cheers! Trevor

   Hi michael! I'm installing your theme in a wordpress, but I'm having a trouble. I cannot understand what's that black line under the top header… I'm getting mad and cannot solve! <a href="http://www.rollingwatermelon.net/migrazione/">check here and help me please!</a> i didnt change any css code ….. :( thank you!

     Hi Jack,

     I don't actually see a black line under the top header – <a href="http://imagebin.ca/view/WnXlMju.html">This is all I see</a>. Would you perhaps post a screenshot? (eg, using imagebin.ca)

     I would appreciate if you could post your reply on the WordPress forums, where others will likely be able to help you

    Forgive me for the newb question. But with this theme that I have installed, I see the option for a ‘custom sidebar’… does that mean I can have a custom sidebar on certain pages, or just one global custom sidebar using widgets or something like that?

    Thanks man for putting out an Awesome theme.

    Elegant Grunge 1.0.3 no longer works with WordPress 3.1.2. Need to get 1.1

13. Ashley
    Posted May 15, 2011 at 10:37 am | Permalink

    I want to update to wordpress 3.1.2, is it true that Elegant Grunge 1.0.3 doesn’t work with the newest wp version? I made a TON of changes to the style.css file and did not make it a child theme. But in the dashboard it doesn’t say that EG has an update available. So I’m kinda confused

    Can I just replace 1.1 version style.css file with the 1.0.3 one I’ve edited, or is it completely different?

    Not sure what to do here.

    Thanks!

      Hi Ashley,

      I haven’t actually tested the theme under 3.1.2, and haven’t verified Xiao’s findings – I’m not actively supporting the theme at the moment due to other commitments. If would suggest trying it in a non-live environment, and if it doesn’t work properly, grab version 1.1 (..which won’t appear as an update as the WordPress folks rejected the submission, which is strange as I submitted exactly what they sent to me after adapting the theme for WordPress.com! I haven’t the time to address their comments, so it’ll have to remain here only, for the time being).

        Hi!

        Thanks for the reply. I tested it in wordpress 3.1.2 and it’s fine, but what’s weird is elegant grunge version 1.1 is all sorts of wonky. I don’t know why but it doesn’t seem to work, so I just kept the old version. My one wish, is that it supported wordpress menus. Is there some code I could throw in there to make that happen?? :)

        Thank you thank you.

    style.css :

    footer-wrap {

    background: url(images/footer.png) repeat-x
    

    change it to repeat-x or u’ll get a little bug with a high resolution

    greets :)

    Hi Michael,

    I’ve looked through all the available themes and yours was by far my favourite. Only problem for me is that photos come out so small. Is there any way to make them bigger, expand them to the width that youtube videos can get?

    thanks!

    This is a lovely theme. Nonetheless I can not manage to make it function in spanish. I do have a wp-content/languages/es-ES set of files, I have also set up WPLANG as es-ES and finally used the given files from above’s link placed in my wp-content/themes/elegant-grunge folder. I actually tried to place in the root theme folder, as an es-ES folder and also as a languages folder (the last two inside the theme folder). All of that to no avail :(

    Am I making some blunder or is it an issue with the current versions? I am using wordpress 3.2.1 and tried to use elegant grunge 1.0.3. I would love to use this theme instead of the default one!

      Hey Luis – I’m afraid I’m not sure, off the top of my head. Try posting the question on the WP forums – I’m sure someone there will know.

    Hi is there a way to add a link to the header that points to another webpage (but is not a page in the current blog)? I want the link to have the same formatting as the other menu items that point to pages.

    TIA

    Hi Michael, Is this theme completely compatible with WordPress 3.2.1? Or does it require custom coding to make it work correctly. Thank you, Marie

    • Michael Tyson

      I’m not 100% sure, Marie – I’m not really actively supporting the thing at the moment. Best bet is to give it a try and see what happens (But don’t hold me responsible if it explodes and/or eats your cat) ;-)

    Hi Michael,

    I am using your theme for my wordpress.. wondering how I can customize the comment area? It seems everything from “Leave a Reply” down is set in stone and I don’t mind that, only when users go to share my post on fb (via sharethis) the share is pulling “You may use these HTML tags in your comment, etc.” I need to get rid of that it looks so bad, but I cannot customize comments area.. any help from you would be great thanks!

    Hello I Just installed you theme, Wow! Elegant indeed! however, I am having an issue with loading a picture that fits correctly into the header area. I have uploaded multiple files to my media section and try linking it to the header section but the scale and framing of it is not correct. I would like to know how many pixels the photo should be in order to fit properly. I am not too fluent with code but am willing to dive in and try to figure out how to customize/ adapt to the header image specifications.

    Thanks for your help, Mike Morahan [email protected]

    Hi guys

    I feel extremely stupid but I cannot find the ‘editor’ under themes, so I cannot find the functions.php. I love Elegant Grunge but I really don’t know what to do.

    Please help!!!!!
