Jon,

This float issue occurs when the thumbnail containers are an inconsistent height – in your site’s case, the Jonah entry is 30 pixels shorter than the other entries.

The easiest way to fix this is to give the container a fixed height. Your containers are mostly 391.5px tall so add the following to your site’s style.css file:

?.issuem-featured-article-thumb {
? height: 400px;
?}
?
Regards,

Chris

Great, thanks Kathryn.

I was getting this problem too – demo fine but self-hosted, the images weren’t going full-screen.

Using a Custom CSS plugin, I overrode the local CSS with the WordPress.com CSS and then just kept on deleting until I found the CSS clause that gave me full-width images (scientific, I know).

And here it is:

.screen-reader-text {
	position: absolute;
	left: -1000em;
}

Not displaying the .screen-reader-text classed elements also works:

.screen-reader-text {
        display: none;
}

A post has a second h1 element with the .screen-reader-text class but a page doesn’t which perhaps explains why pages look okay on tablets but posts don’t.

Hopefully this helps those having the problem.

And maybe the theme download can be updated?

Sorry, should have been more descriptive. There is no “Email Options” tab.

However, on further investigation I’ve found that this is because I had set-up a minimal BuddyPress install and not activated the Activity Streams component. As soon as I activated it, the Email Options tab appeared.

False alarm!

I’m not seeing anything on the following set-up :

WP 3.5.1
BuddyPress 1.7.1
bbPress 2.3.2

I have WP-DEBUG set to true, but no messages.

I’d really like the functionality of this plug-in – can anyone confirm that it works with 1.7.1?

There are 2 steps to get custom content types onto the front page:

1. Enable the location meta box on the content types
2. Change the queries so that custom types are included

If you haven’t already created a child theme then you should do so, as it is much easier to keep track of your modifications and remove them, if necessary.

1. If you don’t already have a functions.php in your child theme, create one. Then add the following:

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'oxygen_create_metabox_2' );

function oxygen_create_metabox_2() {
    add_meta_box( 'oxygen_metabox', __( 'Location', 'oxygen' ), 'oxygen_metabox', '<content-type-name>', 'side', 'low' );
}

Add an add_meta_box call for each content type. Remember to use the plural name for your type, so “types” not “type”.

Edit a custom type entry and you should now see the Location metabox.

2. To get the content in the featured slider, copy the themes/oxygen/featured-content.php to your child theme folder.

Near the top, where the $args variable is defined, we need to add the “post_type” argument and set it to “any”, as follows:

$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 6, 'meta_key' => '_oxygen_post_location', 'meta_value' => 'featured', 'post__not_in' => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ), 'post_type' => 'any' );

If you have assigned some of your custom content types to the “featured” location then you should see them in the slider.
