Modularity Lite issues/questions – Header, Slideshow

  • Hey all

    Im starting to build my photoblog. https://khdphoto.com/

    Im hosted on GoDaddy right now with their WordPress package, running WordPress 3.0.4

    Ive chosen the Modularity Lite theme to use for the time being, but am having a few issues.

    First is the slideshow.
    GPP’s instructions for the theme state “The homepage slideshow pulls in featured images of the latests posts you have uploaded into WordPress. Simply create a post and attach an image to the post with the image upload tools. The slideshow measures 950 pixels wide and 425 pixels tall.”
    However, I posted a couple test posts, each with their own Featured Image, but I dont have a working slideshow. Am I missing something?

    Also, I wanted to replace the “Khanh Duong Photography | Portrait | Lifestyle | Automotive” line at the top of my page (next to the menu) with my logo. Im not sure how to do this, though. Using the Appearance>Header in the back end places the image at the top of the darker grey box instead of at the top of the page.

    Thanks!

    Bump

    I am having the exact problem with the slideshow and im hosted by godaddy as well. I cant figure it out and im about to pull my hair out! Does anybody have any ideas to help??I am new to wordpress and it seems that no matter what theme im using there is always ATLEAST one issue with it.

    Im seriously going crazy. I used to work in the web design industry but it was like 8 years ago now. Im feel totally confused with all this CMS stuff. It all seems like a really bad dreamweaver dream to me! What freakin happened?? Does anybody make a theme that actually works???

    Hey KhanhD-
    I decided to unistall and reinstall wordpress and it works now. You might wanna give it a shot if you never got it working. Anyways, does anybody know how to change the settings of this slideshow a bit? Like, i know it pulls the latest posts, but only if i actually post them 950×425. So then i have the slideshow but underneath is a bunch of HUGE POSTS! haha! lemme know!
    thaks

    Hi! I read a suggestion from panaghiotisadam that is very simple and works. I;m not sure if its for multiple images but I try and for one fix image works.

    Here is his suggetion:

    Create a 950px wide image (height can be as much as you like), upload it via Media > Add New, copy its URL. Then go to Appearance > Theme Options and put your image in the “Welcome Message Content” box this way:

    <img style=”margin-left:-.75em;” src=”IMAGE URL HERE” />

    ….but I’m having problems with the header in this theme anyways…I would like to select the part of the image appears in the slideshow….but the image is automatically crop.

    Anyone knows if I can select the part of the image I want to show in the header?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jesica
