WP-Creativix – Free Premium WordPress Theme released

Hi iwebix – Slick template – danke schoen!
I found no documentation anywhere – at least not in english und mein deutch sucks.
The featured slider is stretching the images – where can I set them not to stretch – otherwise I’ll can resize images to about 200x 450 I guess but prefer to just set stretch to false somewhere if possible!?
Thanks again

Hi, I really like this template, I have been having trouble changing the highlight colour from purple to blue.

I have gone to the Themes Settings and Adjustments page, entered 0066CC which is the hex colour code for the blue I want to use and it is not changing.

The website is https://www.nzsc.org.nz

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards

try this
`<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/yourimage.jpg”>

cyberhubdan:
To my knowledge it has to be a numerical hex code. Not sure why it doesn’t accept the alphanumeric ones…
006699 would work for you.

Iwebix:
Thanks for the template I’m currently waiting for the update so that the categories will work as they should on the front page. My portfolio page doesn’t seem to work also. Hopefully the update will solve my issue with that.

Hi Kiryuwong and cyberhubdan,

of course to make the theme secure I had to disallow letters in the hexadecimal code, so only numbers are allowed! Just try as kiryuwong mentioned “006699” this will work fine!

Hi Kiryuwong,

just uploaded the update yesterday, should be reviewed and then released in a couple of days.
What’s the problem with the portfolio?

IWEBIX,

These theme just looks amazing and once I figure it out it’ll be awesome!

Are there instructions on how to do everything? I am using WordPress V 2.9.2. Is that a problem?

The problems I’m having include…
1. I figured out how to get the pictures to show on the main page, but in the scrolling part they show up as X. You can see what I mean: https://www.talktologan.com/.

2. Remove the blog information from the main page. Not the scrolling information, but the 2 recent posts underneath, followed by the Latest Articles on right.

3. Replace 2. with other information, as in anything I desire.

4. Is there a way to prevent the images from strecthing/shrinking on the main page? Or would I need to resize them prior to uploading into WordPress?

5. Why is there so much white space at the top of the main page? Is that where I put my logo? And do I use the header.php (Under Editor) to change this? Is there a way to remove that space?

Thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it.
Talk soon!

Hi Logan,

I think the problem conercing the thumbnails in the slider is, that you have not set proper permissions (chmod 755). The theme directory (wp-creativix) need to be writeable, because otherwise the tumbs cannot be generated.

You cannot change the stretching, you should try to upload images that have correct resolutions.

Well for replacing featured articles and latest articles on frontpage you need some knowledge concerning HTML & PHP. Have a look at the index.php and replace the featured articles with your HTML Infos.

Cheers

I use FileZilla.

I right clicked on wp-content and clicked File Permissions. Under Numeric Value I typed 777. I did the same for /wp-content/uploads because a forum said to do the same. Now please look at my website and see what happened: https://www.talktologan.com/.

Clearly I screwed up. If I set wp-content File Permissions, Numeric Value to 755 and leave /wp-content/uploads at 777 it looks the way it did prior (with X as the thumbs) Any ideas?

Is it the WP-Content ONLY for talktologan.com?
Or is it the WP-Content for ALL my domains?
The changes as described above are ONLY for talktologan.com.

And, how do I make WP-Creativix writeable?

Isn’t it risky to leave it in 777 anyway?

OK, so what is the prescribed resolution or image size for the slider images please if they can not be set not to stretch.
thank you.

Hi LoganSL,
you really shouldn’t give wp-content 777. Just give it a 755 as you should do for wp-content/themes/wp-creativix/ to get the thumbs working.
Furthermore I cannot see wp-creativix as theme under that URL.

Hi neptunian,
best image resolution is 540×250 px.

Cheers

Hi all, for those who experienced having a limit of 10 photos in the slides, just modify it in Settings->Reading and “Blog pages show at most” to a higher number, then you’ll see more than 10.

I am having issues with the slideshow not showing on firefox though, although it is fine on IE. Thanks.

Hi IWEBIX,

LOVE THE THEME! Thanks so much for developing it. Perhaps it is because I am a NooB and not understanding everything that was said on this thread, but I still can’t get the light box to work correctly.

I managed to get thumbnails into the slideshow by placing post images in my theme directory on my host site and then using the custom field to pull the images to the slider. They will not generate, however, in the featured post box (just the slider). I have also tried setting the category ID “Featured” and entered this to the theme options. Nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong?

Also, how do I customize the theme more? Do I need to recode the PHP Index to move things around or change colors or is there something in the theme options to do this (I saw something for link colors but not main colors)? I was thinking of replacing the purple tones with a dark red.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

the problem with the slideshow is that you have to have a direct path to the images in the <span></span> which generates the full size image.
You have a local path right f.e. /public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-creativix/images/guru Cartoon.JPG

Just add your domain or <?php bloginfo('url');?> in front of the call to the post’s image.

Please update to version 1.3 of the theme, the category Bug is now fixed. (Or you can replace the index.php and search.php, but be carefull your changes will get lost).

Just add your hexadecimal code in the admin settings of this theme (highlight color) f.e. 910000 for a deep red.

cheers
